Chapter 122 Are You?
"Sneak attack?"

Mr. Lu, who was recuperating in Ji Ren Tang, sat up instantly, "How is he?"

"Young master, everything is fine, but the young lady was seriously injured."

"That's good, he's fine."

Mr. Lu breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said, "You just said that the young lady was injured?"

"Yes!"

After the man finished speaking, he said directly, "When my subordinates arrived, they happened to meet those thieves fleeing in embarrassment, so they learned the whole story."

After speaking, he submitted a letter.

And when Mr. Lu finished reading it, he grabbed the letter paper in his hand until he tore it to pieces.

Finally, he closed his eyes deeply, and his voice was cold and evil.

"Go back."

"Yes--"

After the man left, the previous guard clasped his fists and said, "Master?"

"Clean up this person, and send more people to protect him secretly."

"Yes--"

"What happened over there? Is it seriously injured?"

Thinking of the quick-tempered girl who treated him, Mr. Lu frowned fiercely.

"Don't worry, the doctor of Ji Ren Tang has passed away."

Xia Xiaoqiao didn't know that those who escaped had now been intercepted and killed.

At the moment she was lying on the bed, and Lu Jingyuan was guarding her every step of the way. Seeing the multiple wounds on the back of his arm, his face became paler and paler.

"Let me come! You all go to the door and guard."

"Yes--"

Mother Zhang respectfully dragged her crying daughter out of the room.

At this moment, Xia Xiaoqiao's face was as white as paper due to excessive blood loss. It can be seen that Lu Jingyuan was pretending to be calm, so he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm fine, just a small injury."

"Is this a small injury?"

Looking at the deep wound, Lu Jingyuan's hands trembled, and he slowly tore open her sleeves, and then wiped and disinfected the area around the wound little by little.

"S-"

Lu Jingyuan's hand paused, "But does it hurt?"

"Fortunately."

Xia Xiaoqiao smiled, but Lu Jingyuan looked at her seriously, "I'm taking it easy."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of pain."

Lu Jingyuan paused when he heard this, and just looked at her straight.

"Why do you look at me like that?"

Xia Xiaoqiao looked puzzled, and someone hurriedly continued to focus on the wound after hearing the words, and said hoarsely, "You have suffered."

"This bit of suffering is nothing, but it must not be in vain. Now you can tell me, what's going on?"

After this battle, Lu Jingyuan no longer dared to treat Xia Xiaoqiao as an ordinary ignorant woman. After a moment of silence, he said: "The person behind the scenes should be the county magistrate of Lingzhou City."

"The magistrate?"

That is equivalent to the level of a modern deputy county magistrate.

"How did you offend him?"

Xia Xiaoqiao looked over curiously, while Lu Jingyuan frowned directly.

"What if I say, I don't know?"

"You do not know?"

Now it was Xia Xiaoqiao's turn to be surprised, but judging by his expression, it seemed that he really didn't know.

So she frowned, "Did you offend him when you were studying in the state? Or offended his nephew or relatives, or—"

"No."

Lu Jingyuan's answer was extremely firm, and Xia Xiaoqiao froze in place after hearing it.

"Since you didn't offend him, why did he want to kill you? Why did he steal two children?"

Lu Jingyuan remained silent, while Xia Xiaoqiao looked straight at him, "So, there are people behind him? So, if you don't let me take care of it, is it because you are afraid that I will startle the snake?"

"The other party cut off my official career and took away my child must have other plans, and the plan is not small."

Xia Xiaoqiao frowned and looked at him, "But you are a grassroots scholar, what are they plotting against you?"

"Grassroots?"

Lu Jingyuan was slightly taken aback, and Xia Xiaoqiao hurriedly explained: "Ahem, what I mean is, a poor scholar like you with an ordinary family and no background, what is he trying to do? Just because you look good? You have good genes ? That's why you robbed your son?"

Lu Jingyuan looked at her with black lines all over his head.

But Xia Xiaoqiao was unmoved, coughed twice, and said tentatively: "Hey, tell me the truth, you must not be some kind of young master who is a relative of the emperor who is living abroad, right?"

Lu Jingyuan: ".?!"

"S-"

"Hey, it's okay, what are you doing so hard? It hurts like hell!"

Xia Xiaoqiao bared her teeth in pain, while Lu Jingyuan said with a sullen face, "Aren't you afraid of pain?"

"You, you—"

Lu Jingyuan glanced at her coolly, then lowered his head to carefully treat the wound on her arm, and said after a while: "I'm not some kind of young master whose relatives are living abroad, are you disappointed?"

Xia Xiaoqiao twitched the corners of her mouth, "You man, are you kidding me? It's really boring."

Someone was taken aback, "Are you kidding me?"

"Why not?"

Xia Xiaoqiao glanced at him sideways, then narrowed her eyes, staring straight at the few tassels protruding from his arms.

【Black Bone Clay Gold Fan】?
At that time, the situation was so critical, life and death were at stake, and he still had this with him?

Then he remembered the Luo family that his classmate had mentioned before.

Although Lord Luo didn't know any official position, he publicly expressed his desire to recruit him as his son-in-law.

This is obviously not aimless, there must be a young lady of the right age in the family.

And that Mr. Luo was obviously at odds with him, but he was so arrogant and outspoken, trying to humiliate him, but the fan that the man gave him was still placed by his side in time.

It can be seen that this fan may not have been given by Mr. Luo at all.

And the one who sent it was someone else, right?
Maybe it was because her gaze was too hot, Lu Jingyuan looked down as if feeling something, and then his brows frowned.

"This--"

Xia Xiaoqiao interrupted him directly, and said with an unnatural expression: "I'm tired."

Lu Jingyuan naturally sensed the change in her mood, and said without knowing it:

"you--"

But before he finished speaking, an elderly cry suddenly came from outside.

"Master? Master, how is your old man?"

While talking, I saw an old man running in briskly, knelt down beside the bed with a crying face, and shouted emotionally: "Master? You—"

"stop--"

Before old man Zheng could finish crying, Xia Xiaoqiao immediately changed his face and said, "Why are you here? Who told you to come?"

Old man Zheng looked aggrieved, "You are so hurt, how dare you not come?"

Xia Xiaoqiao's head is getting bigger.

"Hurry up and shut up, who is your master? I don't have a lot of apprentices your age."

Seeing Xia Xiaoqiao's look of disgust, old man Zheng was not angry, instead his face became more aggrieved, and then he glanced at Lu Jingyuan who was beside him with a blank face, and bowed directly.

"Little disciple Zheng Yuanbao has met Master, Master."

"Master?"

Lu Jingyuan:?

At this moment, Lu Jingyuan looked confused, and then slowly looked at Xia Xiaoqiao.

"This?"

And Xia Xiaoqiao immediately became anxious, "What are you calling indiscriminately? What master? Where did the master come from? I've said it all, Si——"

Maybe a little excited, she directly touched the wound, and she gasped in pain.

Seeing this, Lu Jingyuan said with concern: "Are you okay? Don't move around."

As a result, Xia Xiaoqiao withdrew her hand without a trace.

Seeing this, Lu Jingyuan's face changed slightly, but he didn't force it. Instead, he glanced at the old man in front of him and said, "I'll talk about the rest later. Are you a doctor? Hurry up and show her first."

"okay."

After looking at the wound, Old Man Zheng hurriedly said, "Changqi, hurry—"

Xia Xiaoqiao's wound was deep and long, and Chang Qi panicked after seeing it.

"Needs stitches, but, I—"
