Chapter 1069 Injury
Chapter 1069 Injury
"Bang!" In a flash, the driver had no time to warn her and knocked her out.
"What happened?" Xie Jianshu immediately jumped off the carriage and reached out to pick up the unconscious Wang Yingying.
The driver replied tremblingly: "I didn't see her suddenly rush out, please don't blame me, my lord!"
Xie Jianshu turned his head and looked inside the carriage and said, "Mother, please go to the palace for the banquet first. I will take this little girl to the clinic for treatment. She is still alive or dead, and I can't abandon her!"
Xie Ru was now the head of the Weiyuan Marquisate. She frowned and said, "Shu'er, go quickly and come back soon!"
Xie Jianshu nodded, reached out to pick up Wang Yingying and left quickly.
When he arrived at the clinic, he immediately urged the doctor to come and treat his injuries.
Wang Yingying also woke up at the right time. She asked anxiously, "Where am I?"
Xie Jianshu quickly replied: "Miss, you were hit by my carriage. You just fell unconscious, so I brought you to the clinic!"
Wang Yingying bit her lips hard in embarrassment, she murmured helplessly: "I'm fine, no need to trouble you to treat my injuries, I'll leave now!"
She tried to stand up, but she couldn't seem to stand steadily at all.
She actually fell directly into Xie Jianshu's arms!
Xie Jianshu subconsciously held her arm and said, "Girl, don't try to be brave. Let the doctor see where you are injured first!"
Wang Yingying asked anxiously, "Did I delay the young master from doing his important work?"
Xie Jianshu immediately explained: "I have nothing to do. As long as the girl is sure that her life is not in danger, I will be relieved!"
After hearing his words, Wang Yingying lowered her eyes shyly.
By this time, the doctor had also finished treating her wounds. He said respectfully, "Reporting to Prince Xie, this girl has a minor skin injury and a twisted ankle. She must not be allowed to walk on the ground for the next few days, otherwise, she will develop a chronic illness!"
Xie Jianshu asked in confusion: "What is the root of the disease? Please tell me frankly, doctor!"
The doctor had no choice but to answer: "You might become a cripple with bad behavior!"
After Wang Yingying heard this, tears immediately rolled down her cheeks. She cried and begged, "Doctor, please save me. I don't want to become a cripple!"
The doctor quickly comforted him: "As long as you don't touch the ground and walk, you will be fine. Don't be too scared!"
Wang Yingying bit her lip helplessly: "How can I walk without touching the ground? I am a homeless orphan, and there is no one to take care of me!"
The doctor said nothing, so Xie Jianshu had no choice but to speak: "Since it was my carriage that hit you, I will naturally not stand idly by. I have maids and nannies at home, so I will take you back to the mansion to recuperate first!"
Wang Yingying's face suddenly lit up with joy, and she said happily, "Thank you, sir. I'm not someone who doesn't know myself. As soon as my foot injury heals, I'll leave immediately and won't cause any trouble for you!"
Prince Xie nodded, paid the consultation fee, and was about to help her leave the clinic.
But her brows were tightly knitted together, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.
She whispered, "Sir, the doctor just told me not to let me walk on the ground!"
Master Xie's face froze. Was he going to be carried out by him?
Just as he was hesitating, Wang Yingying pretended to be stubborn and forbearing and said, "Don't worry, sir. I can go on my own!"
Seeing that she was about to take a step forward, Master Xie immediately reached out and picked her up, saying, "It was me who hurt you anyway. I will definitely take responsibility for you to the end. Don't be so hypocritical and don't make your injuries worse!"
Wang Yingying hid her calculating thoughts, buried her head in his arms and said, "Thank you for saving my life, sir!"
Xie Jianshu sent her back to Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion and settled her down, then hurried to the palace to attend the banquet.
Zhan Xuan suddenly saw him and immediately ran up to him and asked, "Xie Xiaoshu, what's wrong with you? You're even late for a palace banquet?"
Xie Jianshu snatched the wine glass from his hand, took a sip, and said, "It's a long story. My carriage accidentally hit someone on the way here, and I naturally couldn't just stand by and watch them die!"
Zhan Xuan quickly restrained his expression and asked worriedly, "How is it? Is the injury serious? Do we need to invite a doctor from the palace?"
Xie Jianshu waved his hand: "No need, the doctor has examined her, it's just a superficial wound, she needs careful recuperation, but she's an orphan, so I can only settle her in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion first!"
At this time, Zhan Miao came over and asked, "Hey, did Xiao Shushu go into the house to hide her beauty? Tell me, what does that little girl look like? Is she pretty?"
Xie Jianshu's face immediately turned red. He subconsciously looked towards Zhan Qingning, and then he argued in a panic: "I didn't hide my daughter, Miaomiao, don't say that. I just accidentally hurt her, and because she was homeless, I took her in temporarily!"
Zhan Miao nodded: "Xiao Shushu, why are you so nervous? I was just joking with you!"
Xie Jianshu raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Don't take this kind of joke lightly. I'm afraid Miss Qing Ning will misunderstand!"
Zhan Miao immediately smiled: "Hey, is it that Xiao Shushu has some improper thoughts about my sister Qing Ning? When did it start? Tell us quickly!"
A group of teenagers started to make a fuss and set up a seedling-making event, which made Xie Jianshu wish he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Lin Yiwan heard the commotion and couldn't help but tease Xie Ru, "Your little Shushu has stirred up a stagnant pool of water!"
Xie Ru now lives a wealthy life and is no longer the thin and gloomy look she used to be.
She narrowed her eyes and said, "Madam Hou, there's something I've been keeping in my heart for a long time. Now I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you, are you willing to marry Qing Ning to our Xiao Shu?"
Lin Yiwan was stunned. She never expected that Qingning was already at the age to get engaged, and she wanted to keep her by her side for a few more years.
But then I thought, the emperor is about to get engaged to Wang Yanyan, and although she is still young, she will soon enter the palace and become the queen.
Perhaps it was because she had been silent for too long that Xie Ru felt a little uneasy.
She asked cautiously, "Madam Hou, are you dissatisfied with our little tree?"
Lin Yiwan quickly denied, "Of course not. Xiaoshu is a child of impeccable character. It's just that I think Qingning is still young. Although she is Zhan Yan and I's adopted daughter, we all treat her as our own daughter. I don't want to arrange a marriage for her so early!"
Xie Ru couldn't help but laugh: "Qing Ning is about to reach the age of marriage. In our capital, it's not uncommon for women to be engaged before the age of marriage. If you really don't want her to get married early, why not hold an engagement ceremony between the two families first? That way, as long as they have a formal status, no one will be interested in Qing Ning in the future!"
Lin Yiwan immediately understood that Xie Ru was selfish and wanted to get Zhan Qingning as her daughter-in-law as soon as possible.
