Mrs. Tan's whole body was shaking uncontrollably. What she feared happened.
The steward's mother stepped forward and dressed Mrs. Tan, and the master and servant hurried to the front yard in a hurry.
The entire Anyihou Mansion has been alarmed.
Uncle Tan's screams could be heard from time to time in the side room. When Mrs. Tan heard the sound, her face became even more ugly, and she immediately quickened her pace and trotted into the house.
Uncle Tan was lying on the bed, and the doctor was standing next to him busy. There were several blood-stained cloths in the basin under the bed. When Mrs. Tan saw the blood, she was about to faint.
Seeing this, the steward's mother hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "Madam, don't worry, don't be anxious." Even though she said this, the steward's mother's voice couldn't help but tremble.
Mrs. Tan looked straight at her son. She saw that Tan's gown had been torn open and his armpits were red. The doctor put a cloth on top and pressed the injured area firmly with both hands.
Mr. Tan screamed again, with a hint of weakness in his voice.
The doctor said as expected: "Although simple treatment was done on the way, the bleeding was not completely stopped. It still needs to be sutured again and some good wound medicine is used."
"Have someone go get the medicine."
Only then did Mrs. Tan realize that Marquis An Yi was beside the doctor, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw: "Master Marquis, you must save us, save us." As she said this, she threw herself in front of the bed.
"Madam, please don't come here," the doctor ordered. "It's not good if there are too many people here. It's better to go outside and wait for news!"
The steward immediately stepped forward to stop her: "Mrs. Tan, even for my sake, you have to calm down."
It took Mrs. Tan a long time before she nodded, and was led to the small hall in the backyard to sit down and wait for the news. She pursed her lips tightly, as if she would cry if she relaxed even a little.
Mrs. Anyihou accompanied Mrs. Xu into the door. Mrs. Tan shivered as if she had just woken up from a dream, and looked at Mrs. Xu closely with a pair of red eyes: "Mrs. Mrs., I...I...
What should I do?"
Mrs. Xu comforted Mrs. Tan: "Don't worry, the doctor will definitely try his best to treat me. What is going on? Why is it so seriously injured? Can you ask me clearly?"
Mrs. Tan opened her mouth: "I...I haven't asked yet..." Apparently she suddenly heard the bad news and was completely panicked.
While he was talking, An Yihou stepped into the room, and Mrs. Tan looked at An Yihou expectantly.
An Yihou said: "Fortunately, it was discovered early. If it had been a quarter past one at night, I'm afraid it would have been long ago... Even so, it depends on the situation in the next few days."
Mrs. Tan nodded: "Thank you... thank you Mr. Hou... If Brother Yao can get better, we will move back to Zhending... As long as the family is safe... I... don't ask for anything."
Mrs. Tan sobbed and cried non-stop.
Mrs. Xu said: "Did you agree with Guangyao to come to Beijing together? Why didn't I hear you mention it?"
Only then did Mrs. Tan stop crying and raised her head, but her eyes were lowered: "I... we agreed, but... Guangyao still has business to take care of. I don't know when I will arrive, and I don't dare
I alarmed the madam and thought of waiting for him to come before paying my respects, but I didn't expect this would be the result."
After Mrs. Tan said this, she felt a pair of eyes looking at her carefully. She turned around and found two people standing at the door, brothers and sisters Xu Qing'an and Xu Qinghuan.
Xu Qing'an lowered her head to talk to the steward, but Xu Qinghuan looked at her quietly. Mrs. Tan panicked, always feeling that her thoughts were being seen by Miss Xu.
When Xu Qing'an and Xu Qinghuan stepped forward, An Yihou stood up: "I also asked the steward who followed Guangyao, but the steward was frightened and didn't know anything. The man who saved Guangyao was still in the main room. Let's go over and have a few words.
talk."
An Yihou glanced at Mrs. Tan and continued: "Only when you understand the whole story can you know how to deal with it. It's best to report to the Yamen early tomorrow morning..."
Mrs. Tan opened her mouth and subconsciously blurted out, but she quickly came back to her senses: "Who saved Guangyao?"
An Yihou's eyes darkened slightly, and he glanced at his daughter not far away, and then looked at Xu Qing'an: "You and I will go to the front to entertain the guests first, and we'll talk to you after we clarify what you have to say."
Anyihou and Xu Qingan walked out.
Mrs. Tan called the steward over and asked, "Who saved the uncle?"
The steward shook his head: "Young man, I didn't even ask... But... he seemed to be a distinguished official, and the guards around him were very powerful. He met us on the official road, and when we heard that the uncle was missing, he immediately chased us out.
The uncle was soon found, and he was already injured. Those people stepped forward to bandage the uncle's wound, immediately loaded it into the carriage, and found a nearby doctor to treat the uncle's injury first.
Seeing the uncle like this, I didn't know what to do. The benefactor said, let us take the uncle to the city to find a good doctor to treat him. If the injury is delayed, I'm afraid... the uncle's life is not saved. We are being treated like this.
My benefactor escorted me all the way here."
Mrs. Xu nodded when she heard this: "Good people have their own destiny. Guangyao has met a good person. If he didn't have a clear mind, it would be difficult to make such comprehensive arrangements."
The steward kept saying yes, but of course he couldn't say it in front of Mrs. Xu. The benefactor had a stern face and was particularly majestic. He did exactly what the benefactor arranged. Half of them had no idea, and half of them subconsciously refused to obey orders.
Dare to refute.
After hearing these words, Xu Qinghuan looked out the door: "How old is that benefactor?"
The steward said: "About 20 years old, very young."
Xu Qinghuan's eyes flickered. It was really him. Did he know something before he met the Tan family? If he had gone a step too late, the Tan family manager should have gone to Beijing to report the funeral by now. That would be a lot.
A deceased person.
The Tan family is far away in Changzhou, what does it have to do with the Sun family?
Mrs. Tan came all the way to Beijing and rarely went out after living in the Anyi Marquis Mansion. She looked very worried. Just now her father said she wanted to report to the government, but Mrs. Tan subconsciously wanted to refuse.
No matter whose son was injured, he should hope to find the murderer as soon as possible. Mrs. Tan's behavior was obviously unusual.
Xu Qinghuan looked at Mrs. Tan: "Madam, when will Mr. Tan come?"
"Ah!" Mrs. Tan didn't know what she was thinking about just now. When she suddenly heard Xu Qinghuan's words, she felt as if someone had suddenly stabbed her. Her face froze, and after a long while she hesitated and said, "Second brother, he...he
If he doesn't come, he will take care of his family in Changzhou."
Next, Mrs. Tan sat there, her whole body seemed to be frozen, and she didn't want to say anything else.
This is what makes Xu Qinghuan feel strange.
Every time Mrs. Tan comes to visit, she always talks about her two sons, but this time she didn't mention them at all. Now that the Tan family's uncle was injured, Mrs. Tan still looked panicked when she mentioned the Tan family's second master.
appearance.
What happened to the Tan family?
Xu Qinghuan stood up. She should go see the benefactor who happened to save Mr. Tan's family and see what he had to say.
