Chapter 5: Bad News Arrives
"Knock knock, open the door, no." The urgent knock on the door in the middle of the night woke up many people, and the family opened the door to take a look, and found that it was a man dressed in tatters and covered with wounds, who had fainted and was lying in front of the gate of Liufu.
Jiading picked up the man, brushed his hair with his hand, wiped the dirt on his face, and after carefully looking at the man's face, he found that this man turned out to be the housekeeper of Liufu, so he hurriedly asked others to tell the second lady that the housekeeper had returned.
The second lady heard from her subordinates that the butler had returned alone, but she was injured, and her heart panicked. When she came to the guest room, she saw that the housekeeper was full of wounds of all sizes, some of which had festered and blackened, and still emitted an unpleasant smell, so she immediately asked the next person to find a doctor to treat him, and told the next person not to tell the two young ladies first, and not to make a noise about this matter.
The doctor cut out the ulcerated and blackened area with a knife, applied some anti-inflammatory herbs to the wound, wrapped the herbs with a cloth, and boiled a pair of antipyretic medicines for Caifu to drink, Caifu's condition gradually improved, and the next morning, Caifu's fever finally subsided.
Caifu's fever subsided, and he slowly sobered up, so he asked his subordinates to help him go to the second lady, saying that he had something very important to tell the second lady.
The second lady has not slept since she came back from a coma last night when she saw the housekeeper Caifu, and she is very worried. The lord went out to do business with the butler, and the two never separated. But now only the housekeeper has come back alone, and he is still injured, and the second lady can't help but start worrying about the master, I don't know if the master is also injured, where is the master, and whether there is anyone to take care of him.
"Second lady, the housekeeper is here, saying that there is something important to tell you." After a maid reported, the two housekeepers helped the housekeeper Cai Fu into the second lady's room.
When the second lady heard that the housekeeper had something to say, her brows tightened, the expression on her face became more nervous, and the worry in her heart became a little heavier, afraid that the old man would really have an accident.
As soon as the housekeeper Caifu entered the house and saw the second lady, he knelt on the ground, crying and said, "Second lady, no, we met robbers with the master on the way to do business, and the master and others were killed by the robbers, I am sorry for the master, I failed to save the master, the second lady is all my fault, it is all my fault." "The housekeeper Caifu has been crying and admitting his mistakes.
"The master was killed?" When the second lady heard the news, she stood up suddenly, "The master was killed?" The second lady couldn't believe it and repeated it again, the news was too sudden and sad, the second lady couldn't accept it for a while, stood stunned for a while, and fell backwards and fainted.
"Second lady, second lady" The maids and housekeepers in the house saw that the second lady had fainted, and hurriedly rushed over to help the second lady, and the house panicked instantly.
"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you call the doctor, call the doctor", the subordinates panicked, fortunately, there is still the housekeeper Caifu, you can command the subordinates, after the subordinates listened, according to the instructions of the housekeeper Caifu, they quickly went to invite the doctor, and several people carried the second lady to the bed according to his command, and asked a family member to invite the two young ladies.
When the doctor came to see the doctor, the family members and maids seemed less flustered, and began to listen to the doctor's arrangement to decoction the medicine in an orderly manner.
The two young ladies did not know the news that the housekeeper Caifu had returned from injury, and when they heard the news that the housekeeper Caifu had asked someone to inform the second lady that she had fainted, the two young ladies were a little surprised.
Originally, after the second lady came back from a coma last night, even though she felt that something was wrong, she still didn't tell the two young ladies, she didn't want to let the children worry because of uncertain things, but now this bad news has to be told by the housekeeper Cai Fu.
After Ning Er and Lu'er heard what the housekeeper Cai Fu said, they were stunned. Obviously, my father was so healthy when he went into business, and he was still joking with them, saying that when he came back, he would bring them beautiful clothes and jewelry, but now how did it become like this, my father was killed by robbers.
When Lu'er heard the news, she was stunned for a moment, and soon rushed into the second lady's room to visit the second lady, Lu'er didn't know how sad her mother would be, but she knew that her mother must need her company very much now.
Ning'er was a few years older after all, and when she heard the news of her father's murder and heard that the second lady had fainted, she didn't panic, but still thought in her heart: The second lady needed Lu'er's company very much at this time. So Ning'er didn't go to see the second lady immediately, but hurried to see the second lady after Lu'er rushed in for a while. When I went to see the second lady, I also asked a few family members to help the housekeeper Caifu into the room to rest.
Ning Er walked to the second lady's room, and saw that the doctor was still diagnosing the second lady's pulse, Yiyi squatted in front of the second lady's bed crying, Ning Er walked to Yiyi's side and hugged Yiyi in her arms, "It's okay, Yiyi, and my sister is here, you can't keep crying, you have to take good care of your mother quickly, be good." ”
Yiyi looked much calmer in Ning'er's arms, Ning'er wiped away the tears on Yiyi's face with her hand, and handed Yiyi to her maid Chunliu. "Chunliu, take care of the second lady and Yiyi, come to me if you have anything." Ning Er stood up and walked towards the doctor, "Doctor, when the second lady wakes up, please be sure to prescribe a few pairs of calming medicine for the second lady to take." Rest assured, your medical expenses will not be less than yours. ”
After instructing Yiyi and the doctor, Ning'er turned around and faced the family in the house, "Now that something has happened to the master, the second lady has fainted, although I don't know whether the master's matter is true or false, but now please do your own duties, and do your usual work, the housekeeper Uncle Caifu is also injured, everyone will come to me first if you have something, and after the second lady is well, we will discuss other matters." ”
The people were a little stunned when they saw Ning Er suddenly talking like this, the eldest lady who was bullied and didn't dare to resist in the past has now taken care of the affairs of the house, and she looks particularly neat and neat, and the eldest lady who was only willing to do so in the past is like two people.
"Yes, Miss." In the past, those subordinates who bullied Ning Er stopped talking about it, the eldest lady grew up all of a sudden, and it seemed that the affairs of the house were in order, in the face of the people who had bullied her, whether it was the second lady or the next person, now it was a good opportunity to take revenge, but Ning Er did not do this, and the people couldn't help but admire the eldest lady a little.
"Everyone is still doing what they should do in the house as usual, maintaining the daily life of the house, and everyone should not make a noise about this matter. You don't have to worry, we have been in business in Liufu for several years, and we still have some family backgrounds, okay, let's disperse first. ”
After Ning Er finished instructing, she took a few people to visit the housekeeper Caifu, after all, it was the news brought back by Caifu, whether it was true or not, you have to ask to know.
Ning Er kept thinking when she walked to the housekeeper's room: Could it be that a businessman deliberately caused this accident, the Liu family has been in business for decades and has robbed many peers of their business, will it be revenge, but how can ordinary revenge have anything to do with robbers, is it a murderer, is the purpose to rob the Liu family's business?
Ning Er walked into the housekeeper's room with a mind full of questions, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw that the housekeeper was already lying on the bed, with large and small wounds all over her body, and gauze was wrapped in many places.
The housekeeper Caifu was injured so much, and when the second lady fainted just now, he could still command people to deal with things without panicking, and Ning'er had a little admiration for the housekeeper Caifu.
When the housekeeper saw the eldest lady coming in, he hurriedly wanted to get up, but there were many wounds on his body, just when the second lady fainted, the housekeeper Caifu commanded the people, and the wounds were a little cracked, Ning'er saw that the housekeeper Caifu couldn't get up, so he immediately walked towards him and slowly helped him lie down.
"Uncle Caifu, lie down, you were injured because of business with my father, don't worry, we will let the doctor treat you with the best medicine, but I still want to ask you about the situation that day, what happened on the day you were injured, and what happened to my father?" After Ning Er helped the housekeeper lie down, she took a chair and sat at the head of the housekeeper's bed.
As soon as the housekeeper Cai Fu heard the eldest lady Ning'er ask about the master, his emotions became a little excited again, and a big man actually sobbed in public.
"Miss, I have been doing business with my lord for so many years, and I have walked a lot of places, and I have seen a lot of robbers of all sizes. But this time, they seem to be coming directly at the master, regardless of the property, it will hurt people's lives. A few people rushed to the master, I was injured and fainted, but then after waking up, I looked around and didn't find the master, I really had no choice, so I came back to report the news. ”
Ning Er listened and observed the housekeeper Caifu's expression, it was indeed really crying, she didn't stumble when she spoke, and she did have a faint look of fear when she spoke, which made Ning Er feel that this matter did not seem to be simple.
"Do you remember the characteristics of the robbers, such as their height, appearance, accent or something?"
Hearing Ning'er's question, the housekeeper Caifu paused, thought for a while and said, "They all wear black masks and are relatively tall, but they don't feel like robbers, they are quite well-behaved, but they look like killers specially hired to kill people." ”
"Uncle Caifu, since you have returned to Liufu, you can recuperate with peace of mind first, it is not necessarily a bad thing that you woke up and did not find your father, we still have to think about this matter in the long run."
Ning Er gave a few instructions, asked the subordinates to take good care of the housekeeper Caifu, and left.
Ning Er returned to her room, thinking about what the housekeeper Cai Fu said, if what Cai Fu said was true, they didn't want money but just came to kill people, then the people behind this are too terrible, my father has been in business for many years, and he has never heard of a feud with anyone, even if he robs the business, he shouldn't take someone's life, the people behind him must be planning something, but what is there in the Liu family that is worth risking murder to obtain?
