Jian Yunzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “I’m not worried about them. I’m concerned about my sister. She’s fainted now, frightened by you.”
Everyone at the scene was puzzled. They were puzzled by Jian Yunzhou’s lie.
The floor is littered with kneeling servants, blood everywhere, yet Rong Qi is unscathed. They weren’t sure if Jian Yunzhou was looking at the truth around him.
Ms. Liu said, “Mr. Jian, your sister was fine just a moment ago. She suddenly fell over when she heard you coming in. That’s quite a coincidence.”
“You mean my sister is pretending?” Jian Yunzhou turned to Old Master Ye. “I didn’t expect my first invitation to the Ye residence for tea to be met with my sister being bullied. It’s one thing for Mr. Ye to be absent, but my sister being knocked unconscious? Is the Ye family trying to disrespect me, Jian Yunzhou?”
“No, no, Mr. Jian, you’ve misunderstood. We didn’t target you,” Ms. Liu hurriedly said.
Ms. Liu had heard from Ye Shaochen about inviting an important guest to the Ye residence, but she hadn’t expected it to be Rong Qi’s brother, and on this very day. Had Ms. Liu known, she would have stayed away. Ms Liu thought if her actions against those from Clearcreek Mansion ruined her son’s prospects, she’d regret it to death.
But at that moment, Rong Qi, frustratingly silent, lay in Jian Yunzhou’s arms, eyes closed, face pale, looking utterly weak.
Ms. Liu was so angry. If this was an act, then Rong Qi was doing it too convincingly.
Another woman spoke up, her voice still gentle, “Mr. Jian, you really have misunderstood. Your sister fainted on her own; no one targeted her. On the contrary, all these servants in the living room were injured by her alone.”
Implying that Rong Qi was so formidable that not only did they gain no advantage, but they were also counterattacked.
Jian Yunzhou’s cold brows furrowed slightly as he looked at the people on the ground. He asked, “They’re that weak? To be beaten like this by someone as frail as Rong Qi was too pathetic.”
Everyone was shocked by Jian Yunzhou’s remark.
Mrs. Ye Sr., with a stern face, glanced at Rong Qi in Jian Yunzhou’s arms and ordered, “Send someone to get a doctor. I refuse to believe that someone fine just now could faint so suddenly!”
Jian Yunzhou’s eyes flickered, glancing at the person in his arms, standing still on the ground.
Mrs. Hong and Mrs. Fan were genuinely worried about Rong Qi. Especially seeing how Rong Qi’s face had turned as white as it could be. They thought whether it was real or fake fainting, her health was the most important.
The family doctor arrived quickly, seeing Rong Qi still standing, and a tall man next to her, said, “Please lay the patient on a chair.”
“Am I in your way by standing here?” Jian Yunzhou asked.
The family doctor was at a loss. He thought, ‘It’s not about you standing; the patient is also still standing!’
But seeing the man’s imposing demeanor, the family doctor hesitated to approach. After a moment, he moved forward, attempting to check Rong Qi’s pulse.
Jian Yunzhou suddenly spoke, “Be professional, will you? No handkerchief? Don’t you know about gender propriety?”
‘Rong Qi isn’t just anyone to be touched casually.’ Jian Yunzhou thought.
The family doctor, thoroughly fl.u.s.tered, turned back and had a servant fetch a handkerchief. Yet, just as he touched Rong Qi’s wrist, his expression drastically changed, and he checked her pulse again, more carefully.
Those who were previously skeptical now watched the family doctor’s solemn expression and instantly became uneasy..
