Chapter 293 Denial of recognition after being beaten to death
Chapter 293
After this matter was settled, Luo Shuiyao turned her gaze to Lu Zhaozhao. She still appeared unconscious, surrounded by maids and servants, each looking at her with worry. Nanny Chu practically knelt on the ground, supporting her shoulders.
Luo Shuiyao took a few steps forward and looked down. From her angle, she could only see the slightly trembling eyelashes of the seemingly unconscious Lu Zhaozhao. She understood. The doctor said it was just a skin injury and nothing serious. But despite making such a big commotion, Lu Zhaozhao still couldn't be awakened. So that's why she was the protagonist of this matter. How could she be allowed to remain unconscious? Thinking of this, Luo Shuiyao said directly: "It seems that Sister Zhao's injury is really serious. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big commotion in the courtyard and it wouldn't wake you up."
Lu Zhaozhao couldn't help but feel resentful when she heard Luo Shuiyao's obviously sarcastic words, but she could only suppress it and continue to pretend to be unconscious. After Luo Shuiyao said this, she couldn't wake up easily, otherwise she would be exposed.
The Marquis's wife couldn't help but frown when she heard this. Although she blamed Lu Zhaozhao for causing so many troubles, she never thought of harming her life. Hearing Luo Shuiyao's words, the Marquis's wife couldn't help but feel a little worried again. She turned to ask Nanny Sang, "Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?"
Nanny Sang lowered her hands slightly, bowed and said, "Yes, I will go and urge them right away."
At this moment, Ye Yunzhou, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up: "Mother, I've spoken with military doctors on the battlefield, and I do know a little bit about taking a pulse. Why don't you let me see Cousin Lu? It would be better than just watching her unconscious."
Upon hearing this, the Marquis's wife looked at him suspiciously and asked, "You can actually take a pulse? Why have you never told me?"
Ye Yunzhou replied: "I only have a basic understanding of it, not a complete mastery."
"Madam, why don't you let Yuan Zheng try? He does know a little bit about the art of taking a pulse."
The Loyal and Brave Marquis looked at his son, then at the unconscious Lu Zhaozhao, and he knew what was going on. He knew his son's style of behavior very well, and he was also aware of his son's intentions. If Lu Zhaozhao had just been unconscious due to a momentary collision, it would be understandable, but judging by her injuries, it was obvious that she would not be unconscious forever. Moreover, her subtle movements did not escape the Loyal and Brave Marquis's sharp eyes. This girl was deep-minded, and as an elder, he could not deal with it directly. But letting his eldest son handle it was the most appropriate thing to do.
The Marquis's wife stopped talking after hearing the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's words. It wasn't that she doubted her son, but she was just curious about when he'd learned medicine. Hearing the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's words, she nodded and stopped trying to stop him.
Seeing this, Ye Yunzhou did not hesitate and walked straight forward to approach Lu Zhaozhao.
Feeling the gaze on her, Lu Zhaozhao clenched her hands in her sleeves. She had a feeling Ye Yunzhou was up to no good. Sure enough, Ye Yunzhou placed his hand on her wrist to feel her pulse. After a moment, he raised his hand to her elbow, applying slight pressure. Lu Zhaozhao felt a sharp pain in her elbow, nearly jumping in shock. But thinking of the situation, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
Seeing this, Ye Yunzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and pressed her acupoints with increased force.
Lu Zhaozhao felt the increasing pain in her arm, and beads of sweat broke out on her forehead. She suppressed the urge to cry out in pain, secretly telling herself not to wake up, otherwise all her efforts would be wasted. But she had overestimated her endurance. When Ye Yunzhou exerted force again, she could no longer hold back, cried out in pain, and was forced to open her eyes.
Ye Yunzhou raised his eyebrows, then withdrew his hand and said, "Cousin Lu is awake now. It seems that there is no need for a doctor."
The Marquis's wife frowned as she watched the scene unfold. She had naturally noticed all of Lu Zhaozhao's changes. She hadn't thought about it that way before, but now, seeing Lu Zhaozhao's expression, she finally understood what was going on. She simply stared at Lu Zhaozhao with a cold frown, not moving forward.
Lu Zhaozhao pretended to have just woken up. After scanning everyone with his eyes, he showed a bewildered expression and asked, "Aunt, what's wrong? My head hurts."
But as soon as she said this, the whole courtyard fell silent. Everyone looked at her quietly, and no one responded to her.
Seeing her young lady being ignored, Nanny Chu couldn't help but explain, "Young lady, you just bumped into a pillar and got injured, which is why you've been unconscious. The eldest young master just took your pulse and woke you up."
Lu Zhaozhao then turned her gaze to Ye Yunzhou and made a move to stand up, but she seemed so weak that she almost fell down. Fortunately, Nanny Chu and a group of maids were quick to support her and let her sit down on the stool again.
Lu Zhaozhao forced a bitter smile, "Thank you for saving me, big brother. It's just that Zhaozhao's health is really not good, so I can't bow to you to express my gratitude."
Ye Yunzhou said "hmm" lightly and did not respond to her.
Seeing this, Lu Zhaozhao secretly gritted her teeth and had to look at the Marquis again. She said with a wronged tone and a hint of tears: "Aunt, I'm in so much pain."
In the past, the Marquis's wife would have stepped forward to check on her and comforted her gently when she saw her pitiful appearance. However, today, the Marquis's wife was unusually calm. She just nodded gently and said, "You hurt your forehead, so it will naturally hurt for some time."
This sentence was like a wall, choking Lu Zhaozhao, who didn't know how to respond for a moment. But she had to pull up the corners of her mouth again, revealing a forced smile, and said, "Then Zhaozhao, can you go back and rest? I don't know what's going on, but I'm really in so much pain all over."
Seeing Lu Zhaozhao was about to signal the maid to help her up, the Marquis's wife stopped her: "No hurry, Zhaozhao, can you tell me first, who does this wallet belong to?"
Lu Zhaozhao's body, having just been helped up, suddenly stiffened. Her gaze fell on the purse that Madam Hou had taken from Luo Shuiyao. Her eyes dimmed instantly, but she still shook her head weakly and said, "Aunt, haven't I explained this clearly? This embroidery method is not unique to me. Someone must be deliberately trying to harm me."
"Then you might explain that I have the fabric for the wallet, and you're the only one who got half a piece. If someone framed you, could they have stolen your fabric to make this wallet?"
Lu Zhaozhao's eyes fell on the purse, and when she saw the fabric clearly, she felt a blackness before her eyes. Only then did she see clearly the fabric of the purse in the Marquis's hand. The fabric was actually the half piece of cloth that the Marquis had given her some time ago. She had praised the exquisite pattern of the cloth, and the Marquis had simply given her half. However, after she took the cloth home, she found it too dull and gave it to the servants in the mansion as a reward. Little did she know that they had actually used it to make a purse.
Lu Zhaozhao's long, slender nails dug into the flesh of the maid and nanny supporting her. They twitched at the corners of their mouths, but they could only endure it. Lu Zhaozhao secretly resented them, but now was not the time to blame them. At this point, she could only deny it. So, she looked at the Marquis' wife blankly and asked, "Aunt, is there anything unusual about this fabric? I don't see anything."
Seeing that she was still playing dumb, the Marquis's wife said, "I gave you half a piece of cloth some time ago. Where is it now? Send someone to bring it over."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaozhao's expression remained calm. She directly instructed Nanny Chu, "Go and get the cloth that Auntie gave you as a reward. Let me see it."
