C49 Threatening

At the same time, in Lin Ruo Xi's courtyard, First Lady had already left. Not long after, Qing He invited the doctor over.

The doctor took Lin Ruo Xi's pulse and found that there was no problem. He then said, "Miss's pulse is stable and there is no problem."

Hearing the doctor's words, Lin Ruo Xi coughed lightly and asked, "How is that possible? Doctor, I was beaten up by someone just now. Although it was only ten or so times, I am still a woman. How can I be fine?"

The doctor frowned slightly and took her pulse again. There was still no problem. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that the Miss in front of him no longer had any weak expression. Her eyes were filled with warning.

"Doctor, you have to think about it carefully." Lin Ruo Xi's tone was calm, but it made people shudder.

The doctor was a smart person after all. He understood the reason immediately and immediately changed his words, "Miss's injuries are very serious. Her Qi and blood are not flowing smoothly. Her external injuries are congested with blood. I will prescribe a prescription for Miss to cool down and detoxify her."

Lin Ruo Xi's frown softened and she said softly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Doctor. Qing He, help me bring the bracelet from the dress."

"Yes, Miss."

Lin Ruo Xi took the bracelet. Her father had specially bought this bracelet for her on her tenth birthday to reward her for her best performance among all the other Misses who had learned the zither. At that time, she was very fond of it, but now, she had seen through it. It was just an external object.

“Miss Lin is truly grateful for the doctor’s hard work. Please accept this gift.” Lin Ruo Xi handed the bracelet to the doctor.

The doctor took the bracelet and saw that it was of excellent quality. He understood that the bracelet was not for free. He immediately nodded and bowed. “Miss, if you have anything to ask, just tell me. I will do my best to help you.”

Lin Ruo Xi nodded in satisfaction and beckoned for the doctor to come closer. She then said, “The thing I want the doctor to do is very simple. After you go out, tell him how serious my condition is. Just tell him how serious it is. Just remember this, besides the stick injury, I also have a whip injury.”

The doctor was stunned for a moment before he understood. He said, “Young Miss, please rest assured. I know what to do.”

Lin Ruo Xi nodded with relief. She thought about her plan and laughed softly.

The doctor opened the prescription and walked out of the room. He said to Qing He as they walked, “Miss, your young lady’s injuries are very serious. You have to be careful. There are two jars of medicine here. One jar is for the stick injury, and the other jar is for the whip injury. Remember not to mix them up. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Qing He recorded it down and sent the doctor away. When she was about to return to her room, she was shocked to see Lan Xiu suddenly appear.

"Aunt Lan Xiu, what are you doing here?" Qing He asked as she gently caressed her chest.

Lan Xiu looked around the room and asked, "How is your Miss's injury?"

Qing He tightened the medicine container in her hand and said, "The doctor said that it's fine. She'll be fine after applying some medicine."

"Really?" Lan Xiu had already heard what Qing He had said to the doctor.

"Yes, Aunt Lan Xiu. Qing He still has to take care of Miss, so I'll be leaving first." After saying that, she hurriedly entered the room as if she was afraid that someone would know something.

Lan Xiu stood there for a long time before turning around and leaving, returning to the Grand Lady's place.

When she returned to the room, Lin Ruo Xi saw her panicked expression and asked, "What happened to you?"

"Miss is really smart. Aunt Lan Xiu was indeed in our courtyard just now." Qing He walked to the bedside and said to Lin Ruo Xi.

Lin Ruo Xi nodded and smiled. She had lived with the Grand Lady since she was young, so she knew her well. Although the Grand Lady was strict, she loved them very much. Now that she knew that she was punished, she would still care about them. Wasn't her confidant Lan Xiu?

She knew that Lan Xiu would definitely appear, so she had already told Qing He. Now that she had guessed it right, she asked, "What did you say?"

"I followed Miss's instructions and intentionally let the doctor and I stand not far away from Aunt Lan Xiu. She heard that Miss was injured by the whip, but when she asked me, I said that Miss was fine and didn't say anything about the whip wound."

Lin Ruo Xi

Hearing Qing He’s words, she nodded in satisfaction. Then, she casually picked up the book she had read before and said while flipping through it, "Qing He, you grew up with me since you were young. There should be a lot of people in the residence who know you, right?"

"Yes, Qing He has received the Miss’s favor since she was young. She followed me into the Lin Residence and stayed there for more than ten years. Most of the people here know each other, and some of them are quite close to each other." Qing He looked at the smile on the Miss’s face and asked, "Is there anything Miss needs me to do?"

Lin Ruo Xi looked at the maidservant who was a few years younger than her and said with a smile, "I just want you to walk around with them more often and tell them some things that they don't know."

"For example, the relationship between Miss and Third Miss …" Qing He boldly guessed. Seeing the smile on the Miss's face, she knew that she had guessed it right.

"That's right. I want you to spread some rumors. Say that the cosmetician was introduced to me by Lin Ruo Yin and that Lin Ruo Yin came to see me that night when I was in the firewood shed." Lin Ruo Xi said while reading the book.

Qing He nodded in understanding. Then, she thought of something and asked, "Miss, will that cosmetician betray us?"

Lin Ruo Xi shook her head. She recalled the conversation between the three of them after they attacked Lin Ruo Yin that day.

"If this matter is exposed, I want you to push all the responsibility to Lin Ruo Yin." Lin Ruo Xi looked at the two people in front of her. She had to make the worst possible plan.

"This..." The doctor hesitated. After all, it was a little immoral to do so.

As if she could see the doctor's hesitation, Lin Ruo Xi sneered and said, "Do you have any morals to do this kind of thing? I'll tell you the truth. It's best if this thing succeeds, but if it fails, if you two dare to betray me, no matter what, I will still be the daughter of a noble family in the capital. It will be very easy for me to kill you two." After saying that, she cut off a branch of a flower.

"Miss, you must be joking. Since we are here, we are naturally on the same boat. Miss, don't worry. If it fails, we will do as you say." The cosmetician was open-minded and agreed immediately.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruo Xi said firmly, "Don't worry. They won't."

Qing He accepted her orders and turned around to leave the room.
