SFS Chapter 415 Apology
Chapter 415 Apology
Qin Huiyin changed her clothes and came out. Seeing Tang Yichen standing at the door, she asked, "Brother, is everyone aware of my drowning?"
"Yeah." Tang Yichen looked at her, his eyes lingering on her wet hair. "You and Lu Wu go back home first. Mother and I will take care of the rest."
"Mom, aren't you scared? " Qin Huiyin was a little worried about Li Taohua.
Although Li Taohua looks like a 20-year-old girl at the age of 40, she is actually unable to withstand stimulation and easily faints when stimulated.
"Mother was indeed a little frightened. You must never do such a scary thing again, or you'll scare not only mother but all of us to death," Tang Luwu said from the side. "After you fell into the water, the young master of the Zhu family jumped in after you. He fished for you for a long time but couldn't find you. Later, the servants of the Nalan Mansion also went in, but they still couldn't find you. We were really nearly scared to death."
"I heard someone jump down, and I felt something was wrong. I didn't even have time to look out before I swam away. I just thought it was a bit strange, and when I remembered what was written in the storybooks, I felt it would be best for me to escape on my own."
"Are you saying that it was a bit of a coincidence that the young master of the Zhu family jumped into the water to save you?" Tang Luwu asked, "But he caught up with you just as you fell into the water, so it was indeed a bit of a coincidence. Could your falling into the water have something to do with him?"
"Don't guess." Tang Yichen said, "No matter what the reason is, big brother is here, no one can let you suffer any injustice. The lake water is icy cold, Luwu, take Yinyin back first."
"Brother, tell mom that I'm going back first." Qin Huiyin sneezed twice and walked away with the support of Tang Luwu.
After learning that Qin Huiyin was fine, Li Taohua's depression dissipated and her mind, which had been dazed, became clear again. She sat in the guest room, accompanied by Wang's mother and daughter.
This happened in the mansion and other guests also knew about it. Wang asked her sister-in-law to stay and entertain other guests, and then she sent them away one by one.
The old lady was reminiscing with some old sisters. She liked quietness and her courtyard was far away. After the banquet, she went to her courtyard with her old friends and had no idea what was happening here.
The servant brought Tang Yichen in.
When Li Taohua saw Tang Yichen, she immediately stood up and looked at him nervously: "How is Yinyin?"
"Don't worry, Yinyin is fine. She just stayed in the water for too long. I was worried she might catch a cold, so I asked Luwu to take her back. I'm with her, and he'll take good care of her."
Li Taohua patted her chest and said "Thank God".
"I'm so glad Miss Qin is alright," Madam Wang said. "We were disrespectful in this matter. Madam Tang, Lord Tang, I'll have You'er visit Miss Qin tomorrow and bring her some tonic so she can recover. As for that beast, I'll have it killed. This will serve as a way to vent Miss Qin's anger."
Nalan You's eyes were red, but he didn't say anything else.
Her mother had already secretly scolded her. Even if she was reluctant to part with Maomao, she had no choice but to sacrifice it for the sake of the greater good.
"I heard that dog is usually very gentle." Tang Yichen said calmly, "Why did its temperament change so drastically today?"
"That's right. I don't know what's wrong with it." Wang said angrily, "You'er has never restrained it. It runs around the mansion freely. It's used to seeing people. This is the first time I've seen it go so crazy."
"I knew there would be many guests today, and I was worried about offending some guests who were afraid of cats and dogs, so I asked the servants to close the door and not let it step out of my yard. Who knew it would cause such a disaster?" said Nalan You.
"Have you seen a veterinarian?"
"This..." Wang was puzzled. "Does Lord Tang think it's sick?"
"No matter if she is sick or not, my daughter has made such a fool of herself and almost ruined her reputation. Even that dog cannot be kept." Li Taohua said coldly.
"Let's find a veterinarian first!" Tang Yichen said, "We have to find out what happened. We can't leave this unsolved case unsolved."
Tang Yichen said to ask a veterinarian to take a look at Maomao. Nalan You felt that he seemed to be hinting at something, so she immediately sent someone to ask a veterinarian to come over.
Just now, Maomao went berserk, requiring more than a dozen guards to control him. Initially, they were worried about the young lady's precious child, so they hesitated to harm him. Only after Madam's order did they dare to hurt him. Maomao has calmed down, but he's been badly injured. All four of his legs were broken to prevent him from running around.
While the veterinarian was being consulted, the Imperial Censor, Nalan, arrived. He had just seen off the guests and, upon learning of the incident, hurried over.
After arriving, he first apologized to Li Taohua and Tang Yichen, and then asked how the incident happened. After listening to the whole story, he shared Tang Yichen's idea, which was to let the veterinarian check it out first.
Nalan You personally poured tea and served it to Li Taohua and Tang Yichen.
"Master, Madam, the veterinarian checked Maomao and found that he was suffering from epilepsy because he was poisoned by drugs." The servant who took care of Maomao came to report.
"Who has come into contact with Maomao today?" Wang asked. "Find out immediately."
"The people in my daughter's room are all loyal and will not feed Maomao medicine randomly. When my daughter entertains guests, she also asks the servants to lock Maomao in the yard. If someone secretly contacts Maomao, we can only know by asking the servants in the mansion whether they have seen this suspicious person." Nalan You said.
"Aunt Li, do you want to go back to the Tang Mansion to see Yinyin first, and just leave this to me?" Tang Yichen asked.
"You handle it! I'm tired, and I'm worried about Yinyin's condition, so I'll go back first."
The Chief Censor is Tang Yichen's superior, so this matter should not be made too big a deal. It is best to let Tang Yichen handle it.
The most important thing is that Yinyin is fine.
As long as Yinyin was alright, she would do anything. But if Yinyin was hurt, she wouldn't care about the superiors or not, and would make a mess of the place.
After Li Taohua left, Tang Yichen waited for the results of the investigation at the Nalan Mansion. It was getting late today, and it would not be easy to investigate, so Lord Nalan asked Tang Yichen to stay at the mansion.
At this time, the guests were still on their way back to the mansion. When Gong Qianyue was about to leave, she was called by Zhu Hongxiu, who insisted on taking her to stay at her home. Gong Qianyue then asked the servants to report to the Madam of the Gong family.
The Zhu family had three carriages: one for the men, one for the wives, and one for the young ladies. Because there were young ladies from other branches of the Zhu family in the carriages, Zhu Hongxiu held back her words until they returned to her own house. After having the servants help them wash up, she pulled Gong Qianyue to lie on the bed and began to talk about what had happened that day.
