White Fence Dream

Chapter 258 Calling people
When the shouting sounded, Mrs. Zhuang, who was sewing shoes and socks for her daughter under the lamp, was startled.

When Li Yu came before, she avoided the room. After a while, she heard Li Yu's brisk footsteps leaving, and then Zhou Jingyun and the man in the room seemed to have an argument.

Mrs. Zhuang didn't think much about it. She thought Zhou Jingyun must be trying to reason with that person and appeal to his emotions.

but.
In this prosperous world, who would want to leave if they can still live? How can a few words persuade them?

The most important thing now is Ah Li’s own consciousness.

She was holding the needle in a daze, and heard a scream of "Zhou Jingyun" full of fear. Her hand trembled and the needle pierced her finger, and a drop of blood oozed out.

what happened?
Could it be that Zhou Jingyun hit that person?
impossible.

Not to mention that it was Bai Li's body, even if it was that person, Zhou Jingyun respected him very much.

"Zhou Jingyun, you are crazy——"

Madam Zhuang looked at the blood dripping from her finger and heard another shout. She hesitated. Although Zhou Jingyun seemed to be rational, it was really crazy to encounter such a thing.
"Huang Ru - Teacher - come here quickly -"

The female voice came again.

Huang Ru, that’s her name, anyone can call her that, but the teacher——

In fact, Mr. Zhuang only taught Bai Li to read, and she was the one who taught him other skills such as playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, making incense and brewing tea, etc., so she was Bai Li's teacher.

Only Bai Li would call her that.

Mrs. Zhuang threw down her needle and thread and rushed out.

"Ali——" She rushed into the main room, "Are you awake?"

Before she finished her words, her heart choked as she saw the scene inside.

Zhou Jingyun was lying on the ground. The woman held him in her arms, one hand pressed tightly against his chest, her palm stained red with blood.
This, this, could it be that the man was so angry that he attacked Zhou Jingyun?
The woman looked up at her, tears streaming down her face: "He took my hand and stabbed himself with a dagger—"

Mrs. Zhuang suddenly realized that she knew about the dagger. Ever since Bai Li was awakened by the hairpin, Bai Li asked Zhou Jingyun to find a dagger to carry with him in case of use to warn him.

Bai Li was sleeping, and Zhou Jingyun cut her several times with a dagger, but she never woke up.

So, Zhou Jingyun did the opposite and stabbed himself with a dagger? And Bai Li, who was obsessed with the illusion of family affection, woke up when he saw the person he cared about in reality getting hurt?
Without thinking too much, Mrs. Zhuang rushed over to check.

Zhou Jingyun was unconscious, but still breathing.

She replaced Bai Li and pressed the wound to stop the bleeding.

"Go call someone! Find a doctor!"

Although Bai Li was crying, he did not hesitate and stood up and rushed out.

When the voice shouting "Zhou Jingyun" was heard in the courtyard, Mother Xu had already planned to go back.

Li Yu stayed here quietly, and then left happily. Everything was safe and sound, so she prepared to go back and report to the Marquis' wife.

As soon as she came out from the corner, she heard a woman's voice screaming "Zhou Jingyun", which scared her so much that she almost fell down.

Did the prince have a quarrel with that Miss Bai?

She hesitated for a moment. At this time, night had fallen and the lights were still on at the gate of the prince's courtyard. Taking advantage of the night, she walked around the wall and came to the front of the door, listening inside.

Just as she closed her mouth on the door, she heard hurried footsteps coming towards her. She didn't have time to dodge before the door opened and someone rushed out, bumping into her.

Mother Xu cried out, fell backwards, and was caught by someone the next moment.

"Mother Xu!" a female voice shouted.

With the help of the swaying lights in the courtyard, Mother Xu saw that it was Miss Bai and was a little embarrassed: "Miss Bai, hey, I just happened to pass by and..."

Before she could make an excuse, Bai Li interrupted her.

"Go and fetch the lady," she said, "and fetch the imperial physician immediately."

Mother Xu froze and asked, "Please, imperial physician?"

"I said I would not hide it from my wife." Bai Li said in a low and urgent voice, "Tell her that the prince is injured, but his life is not in danger for the time being. Tell her to come here quickly."

Mother Xu felt her ears buzzing. Is the prince injured? How was he injured?
"Mom, come on!" the female voice rose.

When she shouted, Mother Xu turned around subconsciously. Even though her legs were weak, she ran quickly towards where the Marquis's wife was.

Bai Li stood in front of the courtyard gate and was about to turn around, but then he noticed something and looked in the other direction of the corner.

"Haruzuki!" she shouted.

The night was shaking in the corner, and a figure seemed to be frightened and trembling, then fell to his knees.

Chunyue didn't know how she got here.

The prince was reluctant to call them back, and they had nothing to do, so they couldn't help but come over to take a look. Although they didn't know what they were there to see, they just wanted to see the child or the new person. Unexpectedly, as soon as they got close to the wall, they saw Mother Xu moving towards the door from the opposite corner, eavesdropping by the door, and then they were caught.

She was so flustered that she didn't hear what they said and didn't dare to move for fear of being discovered. Then she saw Mother Xu running away in a hurry. She thought about waiting for the lady to go in and then quietly slipping away. Unexpectedly, the lady suddenly looked over and called out her name.

"I deserve to die." Chunyue said tremblingly while kneeling on the ground.

She didn't want to explain anything and was just prepared to kowtow and admit her mistake. She would accept it even if the prince wanted to kick her out.

"Don't kneel." The female voice said, "Help me get Doctor Zhang."

Chunyue was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and looked at the woman standing at the gate of the courtyard. The light in the courtyard shone on her body, making her look strange, yet inexplicably familiar.

"Go find Jiang Yun and ask him to take you there." The female voice said, "Tell Doctor Zhang that it was a knife wound."

Chunyue stood up subconsciously: "Yes, young madam." After that, she stumbled out. Soon her steps became steady, but her heart was in turmoil.

What did she just say? Why did she call the other party Young Madam?
But at that moment, she really blurted out that the person in front of her was the young lady.

What about the knife wound?

The prince was injured and dying, so the dead young lady appeared?

She was terrified and ran through the night with a mess of thoughts.

"Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun——"

The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang ran out of the room with hurried footsteps. The maids and servants inside and outside followed her with lanterns in their hands, confused and anxious.

"Don't follow me." The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang stopped them. Looking at her pale face, the maids and servants stopped at a loss.

"No need to follow." Mother Xu supported the wife of the Marquis of Dongyang tightly and said with a smile, "It's okay, Madam, go see the prince."

That’s right. The prince doesn’t allow family members to enter, so it’s fine for the marquis’ wife to enter, but others should stay away to avoid embarrassing the mother and son.

The maids and servants stopped in response.

"Madam, let's go." Mother Xu supported her and hurried out.

The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang walked quickly and stepped over the threshold.

"What did you say?" she asked in a trembling voice.

She was just about to eat when Mother Xu suddenly rushed in, looking like she had lost her soul. She leaned over and whispered in her ear, "The prince is injured. Please call the imperial physician."

At that moment, she thought that Mother Xu was talking nonsense.

Then the next moment, I saw blood on Mother Xu’s cuffs.

blood.

She just felt dizzy, but fortunately Xu's mother held her tightly.

"Ma'am, hold on, there's no danger to life."

She took a deep breath and held on.

Yes, there is nothing that cannot be sustained.

She had experienced so many things in this year. Zhou Jingyun suddenly got married, but the wife suddenly died. Zhou Jingyun suddenly became unruly, and suddenly there was a rumor about his affair with Long Yang. Suddenly he brought back the daughter of a guilty minister, and brought back the little princess who had been replaced.
Now I just heard that he was injured, that's nothing.

nothing!
The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves and pinched herself, causing pain on the palms and backs of her hands.

She inexplicably thought of the time when she gave birth to a child.

Giving birth is really painful.

Raising a child, it turns out, is so painful.

Women, as mothers in this life, you deserve to be loved by your children.

"Have you called for the imperial physician?" she asked in a hoarse voice.

Mother Xu nodded and said tremblingly, "Before meeting the Madam, let Mother Huang take the invitation."

The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang took a deep breath and said, "Don't alarm the Marquis."

Mother Xu nodded again: "The Marquis is attending a banquet at the Duke Zhenguo's house and will not be back tonight."

The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang stopped asking questions and walked quickly. When she saw the prince's courtyard, she paused.

"Tell me, there is no danger to life?" she asked again in a trembling voice.

It seems that some people are afraid to go in.

Mother Xu's eyes were sore, thinking that Miss Bai had just bumped into her, and she helped her up. Her sleeves were stained with blood, and she didn't know what happened inside.
"No, no." She forced a smile to comfort him.

The courtyard gate was closed, but an old maid immediately opened it when she heard footsteps.

"Madam," she said, her voice a little nervous, "The young lady asked me to wait and open the door for you."

Although he drove out the maids and servants in the house, Zhou Jingyun brought in a few people from outside, but the wife of the Marquis of Dongyang ignored them and never met them.

She was in no mood to care about anything at this moment. She just hurried to the main room. The lights were on in the room and it was quiet. Only the sound of her footsteps could be heard.

Bai Li stood in the room and turned around: "Madam."

Seeing her, the wife of the Marquis of Dongyang turned even paler. Mother Xu also felt dizzy. She had not seen clearly in the dark at the door before, but now under the lights in the room, she could see the bloodstains on Bai Li's body.
"Jingyun——" The wife of Marquis Dongyang's voice was hoarse.

Bai Li moved aside, and Zhou Jingyun, who was lying on the ground, appeared in his sight.

His robe was cut open, and the cut cloth was wrapped around his chest. Amid the bloodstains, the handle of a dagger was clearly visible.

Mrs. Dongyang's legs went weak and Mother Xu could no longer hold on to her, and they both fell to their knees on the ground.

"Jingyun, Jingyun--" Lady Dongyang Hou shouted in a trembling voice, stroking Zhou Jingyun's face helplessly with her hands.

Zhou Jingyun's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he was breathing deeply and rapidly.

"Madam, the bleeding has stopped." Madam Zhuang knelt beside him and said softly, "It's just that it's inconvenient to move, let alone draw the knife. We need doctors to come."

Mrs. Dongyang held Zhou Jingyun's head and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, who? The King of Chu?"

"No." Mrs. Zhuang said, "This matter is a bit complicated. I will talk to you."

"It was me." Bai Li interrupted Mrs. Zhuang, "It was me who harmed him."

The wife of Marquis Dongyang looked at her with red eyes.

Every mother will go crazy for her children. Mrs. Zhuang stood up and stood in front of Bai Li, but was gently pushed away by Bai Li.

"Master, I will do it myself." She said, kneeling down in front of the wife of Dongyang Marquis. "I said I will not hide anything from you anymore. Besides being a fugitive criminal, I am also sick."

The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang looked at her, her tightly closed lips trembling, as if she was trying hard not to say anything unpleasant.

"It's a strange disease that will turn me into someone else and cause me as Bai Li to fall into a deep sleep." Bai Li said, and when he saw the redness in Madam's eyes, there was a hint of confusion. "Madam, don't think about what this means. Anyway, just think of me as crazy."

In the eyes of the world, she is indeed a lunatic.

"Anyway, in order to wake me up, he stabbed himself."

Mother Xu shouted from the side: "You, are you saying that our prince stabbed himself? It has nothing to do with you?"

There was anger in his voice.

The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang looked at her, still without saying a word, her eyes filled with anger and despair.

"No, it has something to do with me." Bai Li said, leaning forward and knelt, "It's me who made him like this."

Anyone who gets close to her will have a bad ending.
