The sun was shining fiercely, and the earth was scorching with heat. In the scorching air, a carriage drove into the city with several riders clearing the way, and went straight to the Tan family's mansion in Baizhifang. When they arrived at the door of the Tan's family's mansion, a horse jumped out of the carriage.
A man, sweating profusely, rushed to the front of the mansion holding a girl with blood on her face.
"Doctor Tan, Miss Ruqing, save people quickly, save people quickly." Zhang Yanling rushed up to the steps of the Tan family mansion holding the dying Axiu.
Axiu was seriously injured. Zhang Yanling immediately decided to return to the capital for treatment. There were some wild doctors in the countryside, but their medical skills could not be trusted. When Axiu was seriously injured, he had to receive timely treatment immediately, otherwise he might die. So.
Zhang Yanling immediately rushed back with Axiu in a carriage, leaving Ma Quan behind at the manor to clean up the aftermath. The Zhou family's gang injured Axiu, but not even one of them could escape unscathed.
Originally, he had to go to Dr. Li for a bruise, but Baizhifang was close to the West City Gate, and Zhang Yanling trusted Tan Ruqing's medical skills, so he rushed directly to the Tan family mansion under Huang Si's guidance.
The banging on the door alerted the Tan family's old housekeeper Chen Liang and several servants who were dozing in the room. They rushed to the door to check. Chen Liang opened the small door and was shocked to see the people outside.
.
Zhang Yanling was covered in sweat, her clothes were soaked, and there was a lot of blood on her face. She looked terrifying.
"Who are you? What are you doing?"
"I am Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang, and I am a friend of your Miss Ruqing. A fellow villager in my manor has been seriously injured. Please inform Miss Tan immediately for medical treatment. Life is at stake, and there are many offenders." Zhang Yanling said hurriedly.
From the small door, Chen Liang also saw the girl Zhang Yanling was holding with her face covered in blood, and realized that the problem was serious. Although he knew that this person was Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, he also saw the scoundrel who came to make trouble last time.
Huang Si felt quite disgusted, but as a doctor, he naturally knew that human life was at stake, so he opened the door immediately without saying anything, letting people in from outside, and ordered someone to go to the back house to invite the young lady.
Zhang Yanling placed Axiu on the bamboo bed in the Tan family hall and looked anxiously into the back hall. Zhang Laoji, who had come first, squatted beside the bamboo bed and called Axiu's name anxiously, almost crying.
"Axiu, wake up, my good daughter. Nothing can happen to you. Hey, I said I wanted to kill that big rooster, but why did it escape? Sure enough, there was a bloody disaster... Ah
Show! Axiu!..."
Zhang Yanling was listening to this. He felt uncomfortable and didn't know how to comfort him. In fact, he felt very guilty. A Xiu was beaten with the stick to save himself. Although he did not expect that they would help, this was completely
It was an accident, but Axiu was seriously injured. If someone died, how could he be worthy of Zhang Laoji and the others?
With the sound of footsteps, the bamboo curtain at the back door of the main room was lifted. Zhang Yanling's eyes lit up and he saw the slender and beautiful figure wearing a light green dress walking in. After not seeing each other for a few days, Tan Ruqing seemed to have relaxed a little. But at this moment, there was no time.
Reminiscing about old times, Zhang Yanling hurriedly greeted him.
"Miss Tan, please save Axiu."
Tan Ruqing was startled when she saw Zhang Yanling's face was covered with sweat and her body was dirty, and she quickly asked: "What's wrong with Axiu?"
Zhang Yanling had no time to elaborate. He only said: "He was injured on the head. He was hit with a stick and there was a lot of blood. Look, he is already unconscious."
Tan Ruqing quickly came to the bamboo bed, frowned, quickly checked the wound and checked the pulse, and immediately ordered: "Xiao Zhu, quickly get the gauze from the medicine box and some water."
The maid Xiaozhu hurriedly ran to get something. Tan Ruqing took out the porcelain bottle from her waist, poured a pill into Axiu's mouth, held her chin and let the medicine roll into her throat, then stood up and said: "Master Hou, take the people
Go out and wait, Axiu belongs to a girl, it’s not convenient for you to be here, I want to treat her and wipe her body."
Everyone hurriedly left the main room, and Tan Ruqing closed the door of the main room. Zhang Yanling and others stood on the porch and waited.
Zhao Laoji squatted on the ground holding his head and sighed, and Zhang Yanling comforted him: "Don't worry, old blacksmith, Miss Tan has excellent medical skills. I fell from the third floor before and was cured by her treatment, so there is nothing to worry about. Don't worry too much.
It will definitely be fine.”
Zhao Laoji nodded and sighed. He raised his hands to heaven and said, "God bless me, my Axiu is a kind-hearted person and has never done anything harmful to nature. Please God, please don't punish her. If you really want someone's life, then take my old man's life."
.”
Zhang Yanling was speechless and thought in her heart: If Axiu was not cured, she would feel guilty. The Zhou family would never want to live a good life.
Blacksmith Zhao murmured to himself: "My boss must make the decision for us and kill people to pay for their lives. If something happens to me, A Xiu, I will risk my life rather than have them pay for my life."
Zhang Yanling comforted him: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter. I don't need my husband to fight for it. I will seek justice for you."
The waiting time was extremely long, the weather was extremely hot, and there were many big trees planted in the Tan's courtyard to provide shade, but even so, the people waiting on the porch were still as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
After an unknown amount of time, the door to the hall opened with a bang, and Tan Ruqing walked out, wiping her hands.
Zhang Yanling hurriedly asked: "Miss Tan, how is Axiu?"
Tan Ruqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, Axiu's injury is not serious, she was just knocked unconscious. Her head was broken and she bled a lot. It looks serious. I have already given her a bandage and medicine."
, I gave her water, changed her clothes, and used some medicine to make her sleep. Now she is no longer in serious trouble. But it still needs to be observed for a few days. After all, it was a blow to the head, and heavy blows to the head often have sequelae."
Zhang Yanling bowed to the ground and said happily: "That's great, such good news, I'm even scared."
Blacksmith Zhao crawled on the ground and was about to kowtow. Tan Ruqing quickly ducked aside and said, "Dad Axiu, don't do this to me. You can go and see her, but she is asleep and may not be able to talk."
Zhao Laoji hurriedly stood up and agreed, and went into the house to see Axiu's condition. Zhang Yanling also followed to see Axiu's injuries. Seeing that Axiu's breathing was stable and there was no abnormality, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Returning to the corridor again, Zhang Yanling cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Miss Tan, for your help. If something happens to Axiu, I will feel guilty to death."
Tan Ruqing asked strangely: "Why do you feel guilty? What's going on?"
Zhang Yanling then recounted what happened today to Tan Ruqing. Tan Ruqing was surprised when he heard this, and said for a long time: "It's actually like this. Axiu got this stick because I saved you. No wonder you feel guilty. Then
The Zhou family is too unreasonable. They beat people wherever they go. Are all Xunqi families so unreasonable?"
Zhang Yanling smiled bitterly and said: "You are referring to Sang and Huai, but they don't want to have an easy time. I guess those guys will also have a bloody head, broken muscles and fractures. I guess they will go back to the capital for treatment now."
Tan Ruqing looked at Zhang Yanling and sighed and said, "It's hard for Ruqing to say anything about Mr. Hou, but I still want to advise Mr. Hou not to act out of anger and handle the matter properly."
Zhang Yanling said: "Thank you, Miss Tan, for reminding me that nothing will happen. By the way, Miss Tan, are you okay during this time? I have always wanted to come and visit, but...but..."
Tan Ruqing smiled and said, "But you just couldn't come, right? Then there's no need to come to visit. You're busy with work. Besides, there's no need to come."
Zhang Yanling said solemnly: "Although I'm here for an informal visit today, I'm still here. I want to pay a visit to Mrs. Tan and thank her in person."
Tan Ruqing frowned and said, "Why do you want to see my grandmother? Why do you want to thank her?"
Zhang Yanling said: "Mrs. Tan is so virtuous and respected, how could I not greet her when I came to Tan's house? Besides, if she hadn't taught her such a skilled granddaughter, I would have become an idiot after the last wound infection. Even I will die. How can I not thank her?"
Tan Ruqing smiled and said: "Obviously I saved you, but you thanked my grandmother. I don't know what to say."
Zhang Yanling said: "Of course I am very grateful to Miss Tan, but I also want to thank Grandma Tan for the old lady. After a while, I will order someone to go back to the house to get the gift. It would be too rude to go there empty-handed."
Tan Ruqing said: "Do I agree with you going to see my grandmother? Besides, she won't accept the gifts you bring."
Zhang Yanling said: "Miss Tan, I sincerely pay my respects."
Tan Ruqing thought for a while and said: "That's all, then I'll go ask grandma if she wants to see you. It's just a gift or something, but you need to wash your face and tidy up your bun. You look so embarrassed, and your face There are blood stains on it, so that’s rude.”
Only then did Zhang Yanling realize that he was sweating profusely and his face was gray. He actually stood there talking to Tan Ruqing for a long time. Then he quickly asked Tan Ruqing to take him to the well in the side yard, dusted himself off and washed his face. Even though he still looked unseemly, he was no longer so embarrassed.
Tan Ruqing led Zhang Yanling into the second entrance, asked him to wait a moment, and went in to inform Mrs. Tan. Soon after, she came out and said with a smile: "Please come in, grandma promised to see you."
The two entered the second back house and came to a shady yard with dense trees. Although it was a hot summer day, the yard was very cool. In the main room of the back house, Tan Yunxian was already sitting on a chair and waiting. It’s on.
