Chapter 386: Chapter 135: Danger on the Descent_4

Doctor Tang finished diagnosing Qiao Lan and immediately prescribed a treatment, "Administer the medicine to her, but if she has not awakened by tomorrow morning, prepare for her funeral."

Hua Lei woke up not long after her fall, but the shock had been too severe. Her whole body still burned with pain, especially since she injured her leg due to landing incorrectly, which affected her tendons and bones. After examining her, Doctor Tang applied a plaster cast and warned Hua Lei that she must rest well since such bone and tendon injuries would take a hundred days to heal, and she wouldn’t recover without lying in bed for three to five months.

It wasn’t until the end that Doctor Tang examined Yueyao. He let out a sigh of relief and said, "Third Young Lady has only suffered some minor injuries and none of her vital organs are damaged. However, she still needs to recover properly. I will write a prescription right away." In truth, Doctor Tang was quite puzzled because normally, young ladies from noble families would be frightened out of their wits in such a situation, unlike Third Young Lady who remained so calm. Well, the Third Young Lady of Lian Mansion truly was exceptional and could not be judged by common standards.

Yueyao had Nanny Hao give Doctor Tang a substantial red envelope. Doctor Tang did not accept it, as this child had already been through enough; how could he take this red envelope? Lian Mansion would pay the consultation fee.

Yueyao looked at Lady Mo, who had returned after seeing off Doctor Tang, her expression cold as frost, "Auntie, this horse scare was no accident; someone tampered with the horse." Yueyao said this to observe Lady Mo’s reaction. She wanted to know if it was indeed Lady Mo who had sabotaged her. Although she felt this approach was somewhat naive, even if Lady Mo had sabotaged her, there was little chance of uncovering any clues.

Lady Mo, who seemed anxious on the surface about Yueyao’s accident, was actually not the least bit worried in her heart; she even hoped that Yueyao would truly have an accident. This way, not only would she rid herself of someone who opposed her, but she would also get her hands on all of Yueyao’s money.

Lady Mo was startled, "Third Girl, if you say someone harmed you, do you have evidence?" The horse was clearly just an accident; who would want to harm her? It didn’t occur to Lady Mo immediately that Yueyao suspected her because she indeed knew nothing about this incident.

A vicious glint flashed in Yueyao’s eyes, "I don’t know who wants to harm me, but I am certain someone interfered with the horse. Before I jumped off the carriage, I saw the horse go mad. It’s been sunny for the past three days, the roads are clean and devoid of ice. How could a horse slip under such conditions? Even if it really was a stroke of bad luck and it slipped on ice, that wouldn’t cause the horse to go mad and rush down the mountain. Clearly, someone wanted to put me in mortal danger. I wonder what sort of deep hatred this person has against me to wish for my death so eagerly. What benefit could they possibly gain from my death?"

A sense of alarm rose up in Lady Mo as she caught a glimpse of fear in Yueyao’s words that were obviously hinting at something, "Third Girl, such accusations cannot be made lightly. You have so little influence, who could you have clashed with? Third Girl, I know you are speaking nonsense because you’ve been frightened. Rest well, and you will recover in a few days."

Yueyao looked at Lady Mo and said coldly, "This time, I was almost killed. Who knows what will happen next time. Eldest Aunt, you must find the culprit. Otherwise, I cannot feel safe even when stepping out of the house."

Lady Mo, seeing that Yueyao was insistent on the idea someone wanted to harm her and kept demanding to find the perpetrator, had a headache. Under the gaze of everyone, she could only soothe, "Alright, alright, alright. Your auntie will send people to investigate." If she did not appease her, she feared the relentless girl would cling to her and even accuse her of being the mastermind behind this, truly an annoying creature. She stirred up trouble as soon as she returned.

After leaving Lanxi Courtyard, Lady Mo saw the red marks on her own wrist and was both angry and annoyed, "This girl’s injuries are surely fake; how could she have such strength if she was truly hurt?"

Granny Lau whispered, "Madam, are you really going to look for the perpetrator?"

Lady Mo said irritably, "Look for what perpetrator? This was nothing more than an accident. She’s had her head rattled by the blow; surely we don’t have to go mad along with her."

Observing Lady Mo’s expression, Yueyao was sure that the incident was truly an accident. She sneered to herself; accident or not, she intended to make it known as a meticulously planned murder. This way, she could gain the upper hand and make Lady Mo and her Eldest Uncle agree to her terms.
