Chapter 224 Report of safety

When Li Shiying and Zhuye helped the semi-conscious Xie Zhi down from the carriage, the servants at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence were shocked to see Xie Zhi covered in blood, and then hurriedly came to greet them.

"Miss, this is...?"

"Quickly, find a doctor!"

Li Shiying immediately instructed the servant, and then together with Zhuye, helped Xie Zhi all the way to her room.

Upon seeing this, the maids all gathered around. Although they didn't understand what was going on, they quickly stepped forward to help and carefully helped Xie Zhi lie down on Li Shiying's bed.

Seeing that Xie Zhi's clothes were mostly stained red with blood, and her face was extremely pale, Li Shiying was really frightened. She hurriedly asked loudly, "Where is the doctor?! Hasn't the doctor come yet?!"

"Miss Hui."

The maidservant beside her quickly said, "Someone has already gone to look for them, they should be here in a little while!"

Even so, Li Shiying was still extremely nervous, and her hands and feet trembled as she thought about the dangerous scene just now.

If it weren't for this woman stepping forward to protect her and Zhu Ye, she probably wouldn't know what fate awaited her now...

Madam Li soon heard the commotion. Upon hearing that her daughter had brought back a woman covered in blood, she immediately panicked and rushed towards Li Shiying's courtyard.

"Ying'er!"

Madam Li strode forward and, seeing the large crowd gathered in the room, grew even more anxious. The maids, seeing that it was Madam Li, immediately made way for her. When Madam Li reached the bedside, she immediately noticed Xie Zhi on the bed.

"oops!"

When Madam Li saw the bloodstains on her body, she exclaimed in surprise, "What...what happened?! How come this young lady is covered in blood?!"

Li Shiying was already in shock, and now that she saw her mother arrive, she couldn't contain her grievances and immediately threw herself into Madam Li's arms.

"mother……!"

Li Shiying couldn't help but sob, "Just now, my child encountered some thugs on her way home. They had malicious intentions, but fortunately, this young lady came to her aid... However, she was accidentally injured by those villains while protecting my daughter..."

Upon hearing this, Madam Li finally understood the whole story, but when she heard that her daughter had almost been in danger, she couldn't help but gasp in shock, followed by a look of fury.

"Even in the capital, right under the emperor's nose, someone dares to be so audacious as to lay a hand on an official's daughter!"

After saying this, Madam Li quickly looked Li Shiying over and asked, "Are you injured?"

"No."

Li Shiying wiped away her tears, "On the contrary, it's this young lady..."

Madam Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Ying'er. Since this young lady saved you, your mother will definitely ask someone to treat her properly and will absolutely not let anything happen to her."

Just then, the servant finally arrived with the doctor. Upon seeing this, Li Shiying rushed forward, "Doctor! You must save this young lady!"

The doctor quickly replied, "Don't worry, Miss. Let me examine this young lady's injuries first."

Upon hearing this, Li Shiying quickly stepped aside. The doctor walked to the bedside, carefully cut a slit in Xie Zhi's clothes, examined her injuries, and then carefully checked her pulse. After a moment, under Li Shiying's anxious gaze, he finally gave an answer.

"Don't worry, Miss. Although this young lady has lost some blood, fortunately, she has not been seriously injured. After I apply medicine and bandage her up, I will prescribe some medicine for her to take properly, and she will recover in a few days."

Upon hearing that Xie Zhi was out of danger, Li Shiying finally felt relieved. After the doctor finished treating Xie Zhi's wounds, she thanked him profusely and sent him away.

"Since this girl was injured while saving you, let her stay at our house for the time being."

Madam Li took Li Shiying's hand and said, "As for those thugs, Ying'er, you don't need to worry. I will tell your father about it in a moment, and he will definitely arrest these arrogant villains!"

Li Shiying nodded repeatedly, looking at Xie Zhi with her eyes closed on the bed, still feeling uneasy.

When Xie Zhi woke up, it was already noon the next day.

To make the scene more realistic, the knife was plunged solidly into her abdomen. As soon as she opened her eyes, the stinging pain made Xie Zhi gasp involuntarily.

Zhu Ye, who had been staying by her bedside, heard the commotion and quickly called out, "Miss! The young lady has woken up!"

Xie Zhi regained consciousness and, after briefly looking around at the furnishings in the room, realized that she must be in Prime Minister Li's residence.

After all, she knew Li Shiying's personality well. If she were injured while saving her, Li Shiying would bring her, her savior, home to treat her properly. As long as Xie Zhi had saved Li Shiying's life, everything would be much easier.

Although this move is indeed quite risky, nothing ventured, nothing gained; everything in this world is a matter of loss before gain.

A moment later, Li Shiying and his wife hurriedly entered the room. Seeing that Xie Zhi had indeed woken up, Li Shiying was so happy that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Girl...you're finally awake!"

Xie Zhi was gently helped to sit up by Zhu Ye. Although she knew perfectly well what was going on, she still pretended to be confused. "Where...where am I?"

"Good child, you are in Prime Minister Li's residence."

Madam Li was very grateful to the person who saved her daughter's life. "Yesterday you stepped forward and saved my Ying'er's life, but you were injured yourself. Now you are recuperating in our mansion."

"So that's it..."

Xie Zhi forced a slightly pale smile. "It was just a small favor. I just happened to be passing by and stumbled upon this scene. I really didn't expect to save Li Xiang's daughter by accident. It's a good deed for me."

At this point, Xie Zhi coughed again, and Li Shiying, seeing this, quickly said, "Alright, alright, your injuries haven't fully healed yet, so don't talk too much. You need to take good care of yourself now!"

After saying this, Li Shiying hurriedly added, "I am truly grateful for your help, young lady. You were unconscious yesterday, but now that you have woken up, you will need to stay here for a few more days to recover. However, you did not return home last night, and I'm afraid your family must be worried. May I ask your name, young lady? Could you please tell us your address so that we can send someone to let your father know that you are safe and sound, and so that they will not worry?"
