Chapter 256: Turning against guests
The Marquis's wife came out to smooth things over. She said to everyone, "We are sorry for the poor hospitality today. Please forgive us. We are busy treating He'er now, so it is not appropriate to host a banquet. I have ordered the servants to prepare a generous gift. Please take it with you when you leave. This is our apology."
The Marquis's wife had spoken, so how could everyone not understand? This was an order to expel the guests.
And these so-called generous gifts are hush money.
Whatever they experienced and saw in the mansion today, they must keep it a secret once they leave.
In fact, even if there were no gifts, they wouldn't dare to say anything casually.
The life or death of this young master of the Marquis's Mansion is still unknown.
They came here today to make friends. If they really say this outside, it would probably lead to enmity.
The servants of the Marquis's Mansion respectfully sent out all those who were forced to stay today. Of course, the generous gift mentioned by the Marquis' wife was also sent out.
Except for the people in the General's Mansion.
Song Qingci was still in the house treating the young master and couldn't leave, so Shan Xi and the others naturally couldn't leave either.
Ma Mingzhu wanted to stay, but was persuaded to leave by Shan Xi.
Under the current circumstances, if the Ma family is involved, it will be even more chaotic. I accept your kindness, as for the rest, let's talk about it later.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll leave first. If there's anything you need me to do later, just send someone to tell me. I'll definitely do it." Ma Mingzhu said these words in front of Li Yanzhi before leaving.
"Thank you, Sister Mingzhu. I'll remember that."
As people left, the courtyard of Yongchang Marquis' Mansion became empty in an instant.
Shan Xi and Yin Xing stood in front of the door, preventing others from breaking in.
Shan Ruoyan quietly moved to Shan Xi's side and whispered in her ear, "Sister, when can we go home?"
She was really scared. There were many people there just now, but now there were only a few of them. She was really scared.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Wait for your sister-in-law to come home together!" Shan Xi really couldn't stand Shan Ruoyan. She liked to be stubborn when nothing was wrong, but when something happened, she would shrink and be afraid.
I really can’t take a sister like this out!
Shan Yu hadn't said a word since the incident, and tried to minimize her presence. She was also hiding in one side now.
She knew nothing and didn't want to know anything.
"Father! The time for one stick of incense has come! We can't let the young lady stay in there any longer. What's the situation with my brother now? We can't let him go any longer!"
Li Yanzhi wanted to force his way in again, but this time it was Aunt Lin who stopped him.
"My Lord! My Lord! Please! Wait a little longer! Just wait a little longer!" Aunt Lin stood in front of Li Yanzhi, crying like a tearful person. She looked even more creepy with the blood all over her body.
There is no trace of the extravagant attire she used to have.
"Get out of the way!" Li Yanzhi kicked Aunt Lin away who was blocking his way.
Who is she? A concubine, so lowly! How dare she come to block the way?
"Zhi'er!"
When Marquis Yongchang saw that his concubine was beaten by his own son, he felt embarrassed and immediately shouted at him.
After hearing the scolding, Li Yanzhi controlled his temper a little and abruptly retracted the second kick he was about to kick.
"My Lord! You are making so much noise at the door, are you worried that your brother won't die soon enough? ! "
Song Qingci opened the door and saw Li Yanzhi's miserable appearance.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Li Yanzhi was touched by someone's secret and quickly denied it.
"Young Madam! Young Madam, how is my son?" Aunt Lin was kicked down by Li Yanzhi. She had no time to stand up, so she crawled to Song Qingci on her knees and asked anxiously about her son's condition.
"He is no longer in danger of death." During this period of time, Song Qingci was very busy in the space. Not only did he have to stop the bleeding and give him a blood transfusion, but he also had to do a suture operation and check other injuries.
In addition to the hairpin, the young master of the Marquis's Mansion also suffered a blunt force trauma to the head.
It is really cruel to use such harsh force on a child.
In order not to expose her surgical suture skills, she used thread that can be absorbed by the human body to suture the child's wound, and only sutured the inner layer. The outermost wound was left untouched.
Hearing that his life was no longer in danger, Aunt Lin's anxious heart finally settled down temporarily.
Her body softened all of a sudden. She kept repeating, "That's good, that's good..."
However, the same words had a different meaning when heard by Li Yanzhi.
That little thing is not dead!
how can that be!
With such serious injuries, he was still able to survive!
"Madam, please stop talking nonsense! If you can't cure the disease, we in Yongchang Marquis' Mansion won't blame you, but if you dare to deceive us, that's another matter."
Song Qingci looked at Li Yanzhi and sneered, "My Lord, I don't understand what you are saying. In your heart, do you want your younger brother to live or die?!"
"Of course I hope he survives! He is my younger brother, so I naturally hope he survives!"
"Really? But, I heard another meaning in your words. It seems that you are not very happy that I saved your brother!"
"Young Madam, be careful with your words!" Madam Hou interrupted Song Qingci, "Zhi'er is just worried and confused. I don't mean anything else. You misunderstood."
"Okay, the child is yours anyway, you can think whatever you want." Song Qingci did not argue.
It's useless to talk to someone who pretends to be ignorant even though he knows the truth. It's just right to save some saliva to moisten your throat.
Song Qingci was too lazy to argue with Li Yanzhi. She looked at the Marquis of Yongchang and said, "My Lord, I hope you can give me an explanation for what happened in the Marquis's mansion today."
Song Qingci did not give him a chance to reply and continued, "We, the General's Mansion, received an invitation from your mansion to attend the coming-of-age banquet of the third young lady. We did not think we did anything out of the ordinary. However, we did not expect that you would order the closure of the mansion because of the disappearance of the young master."
"As a guest, I understand that if a child is missing, then of course we have to look for him. However, I never thought that my third sister would be knocked unconscious and still be with the seriously injured young master in your house. This happened in your house, and it's not too much to give me an explanation. What's more, I was the one who pulled the young master back from the gates of hell."
