Ji Lan's goal was clear. If she ran out now, even if Ji Yunkai didn't "commit suicide", she would still end up with the stain of "committing suicide".
"Lan'er, stop!" Imperial Advisor Ji bellowed, his tone was extremely stern, but Ji Lan acted as if she did not hear him, her steps not stopping as she stepped over the threshold.
"Ahh…!" Ji Lan screamed in pain. She stepped out of the doorway with her left foot, but her right foot was caught, causing her body to stumble and fall straight down. With a *ka* sound, Ji Yunkai heard the sound of bones breaking.
Imperial Advisor Ji's expression changed greatly as he quickly stepped over the threshold to help Ji Lan up. Seeing Ji Lan's face covered with blood, Imperial Advisor Ji was angry and at the same time, he pointed at Ji Yunkai. "Yunkai, you, you, you…."
Imperial Advisor Ji's fingers were trembling, he was so angry that he couldn't even form sentences.
"What's wrong with me? Wasn't she going to the doctor? Perfect!" Ji Yunkai leaned on the bedpost, slowly calming down her messy breathing.
Right now, not only did she feel cold all over, her mind was also dizzy. She had just used up all of her strength to throw the porcelain bottle. She didn't want to move at all. All she wanted to do was lie on her bed and have a good sleep to recover.
"Daddy, it hurts… It hurts." Tears and blood covered Ji Lan's face. She held her chin with one hand and held her waist with the other, not daring to move.
The porcelain bottle collided into her back, causing her to gasp in pain. However, this was not what hurt the most. The most painful part was her lower jaw and nose.
"Lan'er, don't cry. Your father will get someone to call a doctor. Lan'er will be fine." Seeing Ji Lan's face covered in tears and blood, Imperial Advisor Ji's heart ached. However, he didn't dare touch Ji Lan because he was afraid that she would be injured again.
"Daddy..." The moment Ji Lan opened her mouth, blood mixed with saliva dripped down. At this moment, she was definitely not at all like one of the four beauties of Revelation.
"Alright, Lan'er, don't cry. If you don't, Father will help you find a doctor." Imperial Advisor Ji glared at Ji Yunkai fiercely, and called out: "Where is the servant? What, did everyone die?" Why was it that in such a huge courtyard, there wasn't even one servant?
"It hurts, it hurts…." Ji Lan waited for a long time, but no one came. She cried even louder than before. This time, her crying caused the wounds on her face to be affected. Ji Lan was crying even harder because the pain was excruciating.
"Lan'er, don't cry, don't cry. Father will help you out." Imperial Advisor Ji was so confused by Ji Lan's crying that he decided to help Ji Lan out himself. But the moment he touched Ji Lan, she cried even more fiercely, "It's painful... It hurts, it hurts…."
Ji Lan shouted indistinctly, her tears falling even more violently.
"Haha…" Seeing this, Ji Yunkai could not help but burst out laughing.
As expected, she was overjoyed to see that the person she hated the most was even worse off than she was.
"You... you... you're still laughing, are you even human!? Your sister was in a hurry to find a doctor for you. Instead of gratitude, you even injured her! But now, you can actually smile! How can I have a daughter like you!?" Imperial Advisor Ji was extremely disappointed in Ji Yunkai. At this point in time, he had automatically forgotten the reason why Ji Lan went to find a doctor in the first place.
Ji Yunkai was too lazy to explain to him, and just replied like the original owner, "Same here." From hope to disappointment, the original owner was completely disappointed in the Imperial Advisor Ji. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given up on saving herself.
The original owner had been practicing medicine since she was three years old. She had studied medicine for fifteen years and was able to cure the Emperor's poison. How could she not stop the blood from flowing from her own wrist?
She was sure that the original owner did not want to commit suicide, yet she truly did not want to live.
"You, you, you …" The scolding words were just about to reach his mouth when he saw that Ji Lan was right beside him. Imperial Advisor Ji swallowed it down and said in disappointment, "Yunkai, you have disappointed Father greatly. There are still five days until your wedding with Prince Yanbei. In these five days, stay in your room and think about it."
Ji Yunkai lowered her head and did not speak, where could she go like this?
But in Ji Lan's eyes, all of this was the protection of Imperial Advisor Ji. Ji Yunkai's wrist was injured, so she could not go out. He just wanted to cover up the wound on her wrist, and did not want others to know about it.
Ji Yunkai had hurt her, but father was only concerned with helping Ji Yunkai cover up her own wound, he didn't care about her injuries at all!
Thinking up to here, Ji Lan felt even more heartbroken and cried her heart out. Imperial Advisor Ji's heart ached, but there were no servants in the courtyard, so he did not dare touch Ji Lan, for he knew not what to do.
At this moment, Madam Ji arrived with her servants.
The moment Madam Ji's figure appeared, Ji Yunkai clearly felt fear!
Of course, the one who was afraid wasn't really her, but rather, her body's instincts. The original owner was very, very afraid of Madam Ji!
Madam Ji was thirty-three this year, but she looked like a twenty-eight-year-old woman. Her face was elegant and refined, and her body was graceful and lithe. She didn't look like a woman who had given birth to a child at all.
Madam Ji walked to the door. Without even looking at Ji Yunkai, who was in the room, she asked with furrowed brows, "Husband, what's wrong with Lan`er?" Madam Ji's voice was gentle and amiable, neither too fast nor too slow. Even though her own daughter's face was covered in blood, there was no hint of anger in her voice.
It was a little far away, so Ji Yunkai could not see the expression on Madam Ji's face. She did not know whether she was anxious for Ji Lan or not, but Ji Yunkai was sure that Madam Ji was definitely not so simple.
If she was simple, the original owner wouldn't be so afraid to see her.
"Madam, you came at the perfect time. Quickly, get someone to help Lan'er down. Her back is wounded from the crash, and her lower jaw is also injured from the fall." Seeing that Madam Ji had brought the servants, Imperial Advisor Ji heaved a long sigh of relief.
"She's fine, why is she injured? Husband, haven't you always been here?" Madam Ji's eyes turned. When she saw the pieces of the porcelain bottle on the ground, she still did not look at Ji Yunkai and only asked Imperial Advisor Ji a question.
"It's just Yunkai. There's nothing serious about it." Imperial Advisor Ji's face was flushed red, looking extremely uncomfortable.
Lan'er was injured right before his eyes. He was at fault for this matter.
Madam Ji nodded in understanding and said gently, "So it's Yunkai. Husband, don't be angry. It's just a small grudge between two sisters. It'll be better in a few days."
"Madam is right." Imperial Advisor Ji's face turned ugly, and the smile on his face relaxed.
"Mother, I…." Ji Lan didn't want them to continue. Ignoring the wounds on her face, she forced herself to speak. However, Madam Ji gently cut her off just as she was about to say something.
"Husband, in two days, people from the Ministry of Rites will come. How can Lan'er meet with people like this?" Madam Ji looked at Imperial Advisor Ji with a troubled face. She appeared gentle and timid, and had a look of not knowing what to do....
