Lu Jiao and the four little ones’ faces dropped and they quickly looked over to
Lu Gui.
“How did he get injured?”
“What happened to my daddy?! What happened?!”
The four little ones cried in fear. They stopped eating their meal, slid down from their chairs, and ran towards Lu Gui, anxiously asking him.
Lu Gui quickly spoke up, “I don’t know exactly what happened.”
Lu Jiao stood up and walked out, taking two steps at a time. She instructed
Feng Zhi on the side, “Go bring my medical kit.”
Although Lu Jiao had her space, she prepared a medical kit containing some commonly used surgical tools and medications to avoid being too obvious.
Feng Zhi immediately turned around, went back to the room, picked up the medical kit, and followed her out.
Lu Jiao led the four little ones to the front courtyard.
On the way, the four little ones kept asking Lu Gui, “Uncle, where is my daddy’s injury?”
“Is his leg injured?”
“Will he not be able to walk again?”
Lu Gui explained, “This time, your father injured his arm. The injury isn’t as deep as his bones. I heard that officer Zhao saved him so he wasn’t seriously ininrpd
Lu Jiao felt extremely anxious and wondered if this injury was again caused by the person who was calculating Xie Yunjin behind his back.
As soon as the group entered Xie Yunjin’s room, they heard Xie Yunjin thanking officer Zhao.
“Thank you, officer Zhao, for saving me today. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have suffered a big loss. Thank you.”
Officer Zhao calmly spoke up, “Yunjin, don’t be so polite. You should let Lady Lu treat your wound as soon as possible. Although you didn’t injure your bone, your wound is still large. If it gets infected, it will be troublesome.”
As soon as Officer Zhao finished speaking, Lu Jiao, the four little ones, and Lu Gui, walked into the room.
The four little ones ran to the bed, asking questions one after another, “Daddy, where are you injured? Where?” “Uncle said you injured your arm, not your leg.”
“Can you still write with your hand?”
Seeing the concern of the four little ones, and thinking about how much they cared for him when he was bedridden, Xie Yunjin couldn’t help but soften. He comforted the four little ones in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry, daddy only suffered a minor injury, and it’s not a big deal.”
Lu Jiao quickly examined Xie Yunjin and found that he had indeed not injured his bone and only had a surface-level wound. Although it looked scary, it was actually not a big deal.
Lu Jiao was relieved and turned to thank officer Zhao, “Thank you for saving my husband’s life, officer Zhao.”
Officer Zhao waved his hand, “It’s nothing. Lady Lu, you should treat Yunjin’s wound as soon as possible to avoid infection and aggravating the injury.”
Lu Jiao noticed that officer Zhao was even more nervous than she was about
Xie Yunjin’s injury. She couldn’t help but look at officer Zhao a few more times. Previously, she had felt that officer Zhao was very enthusiastic and caring towards Xie Yunjin, and now it seemed that it was indeed the case.
Could there be some explanation behind this?
Lu Jiao thought to herself as she turned around to treat Xie Yunjin’s wound. Xie Yunjin obediently stretched out his injured arm.
The wound on his arm looked somewhat terrifying, with flesh and skin turned outwards.
The four little ones looked at it with tears in their eyes.
Lu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it. At least his bones weren’t injured. She signaled Feng Zhi to bring the medical kit over, and she took some tools to start treating Xie Yunjin’s wound.
The four little ones stood quietly on one side of the room without making any noise.
While cleaning Xie Yunjin’s wound, Lu Jiao asked softly, “Was this caused by the same person who ran over you with a horse carriage?”
Xie Yunjin shook his head and said, “No, the person who attacked me tonight was obviously not the same person who plotted against me before. The person who plotted against me before was extremely careful and wasn’t very physically capable. He’s always acted when I was unprepared. The person who came to kill me tonight had several people who were skilled in martial arts. It was obvious that they were not ordinary people.”
After a pause, Xie Yunjin continued, “I suspect that someone leaked the fact that I am aiding magistrate Hu. That person was afraid that I would break the surface peace of Qinghe District, so they took action.”
As soon as Xie Yunjin said this, Lu Jiao frowned, “The fact that you are aiding magistrate Hu has always been kept secret. How could it be leaked?”
Apart from officer Zhao, only the household of Hu and the household of Xu knew about it.
If someone leaked the secret, it must have been someone from one of these families.
Even their servants didn’t know about Xie Yunjin’s role as a strategist for magistrate Hu.
Officer Zhao quickly spoke up, “I haven’t said a word about this. I haven’t even told my wife and children.”
So it must be either the Hu family or the Xu family that leaked the secret?
This matter must be investigated thoroughly. Nobody should get away with plotting against Xie Yunjin. Moreover, if the person behind them reveals everything the Xie family did, how could they continue their lives here?
Xie Yunjin looked at Lu Jiao and said, “Tomorrow I’ll have someone notify the Hu and Xu households. We must find out who leaked this.
As soon as he finished, he turned to Lu Jiao and the four children and said, “Stay at home and don’t go out. Otherwise, you might be assassinated by the other side.”
Lu Jiao immediately became serious. She was not worried about herself, but was afraid that the four children would be harmed.
“Okay, I understand.”
That night, Lu Jiao stayed in Xie Yunjin’s room to take care of him. She was worried that the wound on his arm might become infected or inflamed. After all, they had shared a room before, so she slept on the hard couch in his room.
The four children also wanted to stay in Xie Yunjin’s room to take care of their father, but they were coaxed back by Lu Jiao.
The four children went to sleep in the back courtyard, feeling a little unhappy.
In the room, Xie Yunjin was very happy, but when he saw Lu Jiao sleeping on the couch, he felt a little guilty. Finally, he casually said, “It might not be comfortable for you to sleep on the couch. How about sleeping on the bed?”
He added seriously, “Don’t worry, we’ll each sleep on our own side. I don’t have the habit of moving around.”
Lu Jiao urged him to sleep, “Go to sleep quickly. I’m comfortable here.” Xie Yunjin wanted to say something more, but Lu Jiao had already closed her eyes and rested. Xie Yunjin had to give up.
In the room, the fragrance wafted, and although both of them closed their eyes and appeared to be resting, they had a hard time calming their minds. Before, they could sleep peacefully in the same room, but now they both felt restless and couldn’t sleep for a while.
Finally, Lu Jiao couldn’t resist asking, “Xie Yunjin, do you think the person who leaked your identity as Hu’s aid was from the Hu family or the Xu family?”
After a careful analysis, Xie Yunjin said, “I suspect it was someone from the Xu family. The Hu family has fewer people and it was magistrate Hu who asked me to work for him. Anyone who knows about it would not be allowed to mention it. The Hu family hopes that I would break the fake peace in Qinghe District. They should be very cautious and not easily leak any information.
On the other hand, the Xu family is a bit chaotic. Not only are their servants unruly, but they also keep many concubines in their mansion.. Who knows if one of their servants or concubines overheard Xu and his wife talking?”
