Chapter 270 – Broken Foot And Despair

The courtyard became strangely quiet. The several madams looked at the door with pale faces. The one with an even paler face was the old maidservant who was leading the way. At this time, her whole body was limp. She trembled and looked at the door in despair. Sixth Miss Wei was actually fine. Besides, why did the Minister come?

Who else.. was inside?

Not only this old maidservant but also the several madams who had just arrived had the same doubt.

At this time, the door opened. Wei Luowu came out, half supporting and half hugging the somewhat messy Lady Li. Lady Li did not look well. Her eyes were closed and she leaned her body on Wei Luowu. Her face was pale without a trace of blood, looking almost like a dead person.

“Second Uncle, what happened to Second Aunt?” Wei Yuewu held Jin Ling and Wei Qiuju’s hands and greeted him with a face full of surprise.

Wei Qiuju also hurriedly said, “Second Uncle, what.. what happened to Second Aunt?”

“She accidentally fell! Quickly find a doctor!” Wei Luowu said with a gloomy face.

“Yes, I will go and see if the doctor who was coming to check the young lady’s foot injury has arrived!” Jin Ling put down Wei Yuewu’s hand as she answered. “Fifth Young Lady, please take care of our young lady for me.”

“Alright, you can go. Hurry up and take the doctor here to see Second Aunt!” Seeing Lady Li’s expression, Wei Qiuju also knew that she was in bad conditions and hurriedly nodded.

Then, she helped Wei Yuewu sit down on the stone bench on the side. It had only been a while, but Wei Yuewu felt faint pain in her ankle. She had missed her step and was probably seriously injured.

Wei Luowu helped Lady Li back into the house.

With such a thing happening, those madams naturally could not stay to watch the show, and they all retreated.

The doctor arrived quite quickly. Jin Ling found him halfway and brought him here. Lady Li’s injuries were obviously more serious. Of course, the doctor should first go to the inner room to treat Lady Li.

Wei Yuewu held Wei Qiuju and Jin Ling’s hands and followed the doctor into the house.

In the room, Lady Li had woken up. It had only been a short while, but Wei Yuewu did not seem to find the previous Lady Li in her. Although at that time, Lady Li’s eyes were also filled with hatred, compared to the current Lady Li, she was almost in despair. When she saw Wei Yuewu, her eyes seemed to be dripping with poison..

But in the next moment, she screamed in pain. The doctor touched one of her feet through her dress, looking quite embarrassed.

“Master, I’m afraid this foot is broken!”

“Broken? Why is it broken? Isn’t it possible to set the bone? Set it for me, now!” Although Lady Li almost fainted from the pain, she still heard the doctor clearly and she screamed sharply.

“Can you set it?” Wei Luowu asked indifferently.

“I’m afraid not. It seems that the injury is a bit too serious.” The doctor said with reservations. He couldn’t guarantee it because he knew the foot had been broken when he touched it just now. Besides, the injury was quite serious. Even if the bone was set, it was likely that the patient would probably be lame.

“Just have a try!” Wei Luowu said casually.

“What? Have a try? You..” Lady Li turned her hateful gaze towards Wei Luowu and roared loudly, her entire body trembling uncontrollably.

Her foot was broken, and he was simply asking the doctor to have a try?

“Think about your son!” Wei Luowu snorted. “Do you want more people to know about what you did?”

This sentence successfully made Lady Li silent.

Nevertheless, bone-setting could not be completed in a short time, and some preparations must also be done beforehand. The doctor asked the lad servant to go to his home to get some necessary equipment. Meanwhile, he took the time to check Wei Yuewu’s foot injury.

Compared with Lady Li, Wei Yuewu’s injury was nothing. It was just a sprain. The doctor knew that someone had a sprained ankle before coming here and therefore brought ointment with him.

Jin Ling cleaned Wei Yuewu’s foot with some water and applied the ointment that the doctor had given her. The whole process was completed in an empty wing room.

As for the tightly shut inner room, no one wanted to go in. After Wei Yuewu’s foot injury had been handled, she rested with Wei Qiuju in the courtyard.

At first, Wei Qiuju thought it was strange and wanted to help Wei Yuewu into the inner room to apply the ointment to her foot. However, she was stopped by Wei Yuewu.

Seeing Wei Yuewu consciously go to the wing room to apply the ointment, Wei Luowu’s eyes became colder and colder. It seemed that not only he knew about the scandal of Lady Li, but this niece also knew it. Otherwise, she would not be so consciously avoiding the inner room.

He now had a general picture of what had occurred: Wei Yuewu came into this courtyard to have a rest and she happened to see this bitch on bed with a man. She ran out in a panic and twisted her foot.

When he thought about how that slut Lady Li had actually cuckolded him, Wei Luowu couldn’t help but have a murderous aura on his face. For the sake of his son, he couldn’t divorce Lady Li openly, but he could cripple this slut.

The man who slept with Lady Li in the room had died a for quite a while. No one knew that as a civil official, he was also skilled in martial arts, which was more than enough to deal with a gigolo man!

Of course, he was the one who broke Lady Li’s foot.

This slut! It was best that she died as soon as possible so that she wouldn’t appear in public and embarrass him.

When he thought his niece knew this matter and that even his elder brother might know about it, Wei Luowu couldn’t help but feel a fire burning in his heart. Ever since he was young, he had been outshone by his elder brother. No matter what he did and how well he performed, no one noticed him. They only spoke highly of his elder brother.

When he grew up, he came to realize that since he couldn’t inherit the title, he had to work hard. In the end, he became a minister. He was finally equal to his elder brother in terms of rank, but people still only had his elder brother in their eyes.

He was a dignified minister, and no matter where he lived, he would definitely be the master of a mansion. However, in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, he was only the Second Master from the second branch. For several decades, he had been leading a life filled with grievances.

He was the real master of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. Others should know him, not Wei Luowen. Why did Wei Luowen take possession of everything that belonged to him and suppress him openly? One day, he would explode and let everyone know that he was stronger and more powerful than Wei Luowen..

One day, he would be able to suppress Wei Luowen!

Lady Li was also brought to a wing room, where the doctor helped her set the bone. Hearing Lady Li’s increasingly sharper screams, Wei Qiuju’s face turned pale.

She couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Sixth Younger Sister, did something happen to Second Aunt?” No matter how she looked at it, this matter was a bit too strange.

“I’m not too sure either!” Wei Yuewu shook her head.

Wei Qiuju carefully looked in the direction of the wing room and moved her head closer to Wei Yuewu. She lowered her voice and asked, “Don’t you feel that Second Uncle is also acting in a weird manner today? It seemed that.. he didn’t take the issue seriously.”

“Did he? Maybe Second Uncle has been an official for many years, so it is difficult to see changes in his mood!” Wei Yuewu smiled and said. Her long eyelashes flickered twice to hide the coldness in her eyes. Divorcing Madam Li was impossible, and it wasn’t acceptable for the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang either. It seemed that Wei Ziyang would definitely inherit the title of Marquis Hua Yang.

This was not only the Madam Dowager’s intention, but also her father’s.

The other people in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang also had a tacit understanding of this matter. Under such circumstances, Lady Li could die, but Wei Luowu could not divorce her. That was probably why he broke her foot in anger!

Needless to say, since the room was so quiet, that man should be dead!

Wei Yuewu didn’t expect her Second Uncle to be so good at concealing his real power. Indeed, civil officials rarely practiced martial arts. Moreover, this matter had never been mentioned in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. It could be seen that no one knew Wei Luowu was skilled in martial arts.

“Maybe. Second Aunt was injured like this. How could Second Uncle not be anxious?” Wei Qiuju did not know the inside story, and after thinking about it briefly, she could only agree with Wei Yuewu.

The doctor came out not long after. The lad servant sent him to the door, and at the same time, Wei Luowu also came out with a gloomy face.

“Second Uncle!”

“Second Uncle!”

Wei Yuewu and Wei Qiuju quickly stood up while Jin Ling supported Wei Yuewu from the other side.

“How is your injury?” Wei Luowu looked at Wei Yuewu and asked.

“I’m fine, but my foot can’t touch the ground now. Second Uncle, how is Second Aunt? Was she seriously wounded?” Wei Yuewu also asked. At this time, there was no longer any sound of Lady Li in the wing room, who had kept screaming before. Perhaps she had fainted from the pain.

“I’m afraid she won’t be able to walk in the future!” Wei Luowu’s face darkened.

“That.. that is too bad! Why is it so serious? Didn’t the doctor say.. that the bone could..be set..” Wei Qiuju’s voice became softer and softer under Wei Luowu’s increasingly colder gaze. In the end, almost not a single word could be heard from her.

“Your Second Aunt’s injury is too serious! After the two of you return to the mansion, don’t say anything about it, lest your grandmother should worry.” Wei Luowu instructed.

Wei Qiuju was so shocked upon hearing Wei Luowu’s words that she couldn’t help but ask, “But Second Aunt’s injury is so severe. Shouldn’t she go back to our mansion to recuperate?”

As a madam of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, Lady Li was injured like this. Shouldn’t she go back to the mansion to recuperate? How could grandmother not know when she returns to the mansion?

“In her current situation, it’s best not to move her.” Wei Luowu said with a sinister and ruthless expression.

“Yes, Second Uncle, I won’t say anything!” Although Wei Qiuju didn’t understand why, it was evident that Wei Luowu’s expression didn’t look good, and she didn’t dare to say anything else.

Wei Luowu looked at Wei Yuewu again.

“Don’t worry, Second Uncle. I won’t talk about this with anyone.” Wei Yuewu replied.

With a smile at the bottom of her eyes, she saw Wei Luowu turning around and striding to the room where Lady Li was with quite a murderous aura. historical

Seeing the scene in front of her, Wei Qiuju could not help but be puzzled. She asked again in a low voice, “Sixth Younger Sister, did something happen to Second Aunt?”

“I don’t know either, but it seems like something really happened!” Wei Yuewu also looked confused. Lady Li had reaped the fruits of her own labor, and judging from Wei Luowu’s actions, it was evident that Lady Li would never be able to return to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.

Wei Luowu would rather see Lady Li die than allow her to return to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang!

Besides, Lady Li would no longer have a chance to stand up, because Wei Luowu would not allow it..

The courtyard door was suddenly pushed open heavily by Wei Ziyang. Seeing Wei Yuewu and Wei Qiuju in the courtyard, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked anxiously, “Where are they? Where are my father and mother?”
