Chapter 97: Chapter 97: On the Edge of the Blade

Bai Suihe had already heard the commotion downstairs, and Dongmei and the others were the first to stand guard outside the door.

She opened the door and let them in, "You all stay here."

"Miss, are these people coming for the Gu Family again?"

Dongmei couldn’t hide the anger in her eyes. Ever since Miss married into the Gu Family, she had been tormented by the old lady of the family and involved in their exile. Who knows what trouble they’ve stirred up this time, leading to such a life-threatening disaster?

"They probably are, but with the escort here, as long as we don’t show ourselves, we shouldn’t be in danger." Bai Suihe could only comfort them like this.

"Miss, should we go down and have a look?" Zhuang Datou came over and specifically observed the situation. The fighting downstairs was fierce, and the escort had just gone down as well, so it should calm down soon.

Bai Suihe said, "Let’s wait and see first."

Bai Suihe really didn’t want to get involved. Even if Zhuang Datou and the others had martial skills, they couldn’t solve the problem.

Bai Suihe was just a weak young woman now, and the only one with martial skills, Gu Kaiyuan, was already drunk.

He hadn’t been drunk earlier, but after returning to the room, he had gone to drink a pot of liquor.

Bai Suihe could understand his feelings; he was afraid he couldn’t stop himself from running downstairs again.

But if she wanted to live well in this world in the future, she still needed to cultivate some of her own power, so as not to feel so insecure when encountering such situations again.

This time, the target of these people was Gu Baijiang, but in the future?

Because of her arrival, the plot had changed slightly, and Bai Suihe really didn’t dare to gamble.

Perhaps due to the intervention of the escort, the two groups of men in black quickly retreated, but they left behind several bodies.

The escort went to examine them and found no traces on their bodies.

It’s often such a situation that makes people more worried; if things are done so meticulously, their intentions must be significant.

Liu Pingkang held back his anger, walked over, and knocked on the door, "Gu Baijiang, open the door."

Yet, there was no response. Guo Baoshu stepped forward and kicked the door, "Stop playing dead in there. People have been dealt with for you; hurry up and come out to explain."

Last time, several brothers were injured because of them. This time, although everyone only suffered minor injuries, they were still very angry.

They were escorts for convicts, not bodyguards for the Gu Family.

"Stop kicking, I’ll open the door," Gu Baijiang also heard the commotion outside, and hearing the escort’s voice felt like a lifeline.

He laboriously carried Xu Huizhen to the bed, then tremblingly opened the door, "Sir, doctor..."

"What?" Seeing Gu Baijiang covered in blood, Guo Baoshu swallowed his words and could only helplessly look at Liu Pingkang. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Go find a doctor," Liu Pingkang had already seen Xu Huizhen lying on the bed, covered in blood, and recalling the cut by the door earlier, he could guess what happened.

"Yes!" Ma Zhi turned and left without a word. Seeing the innkeeper hiding behind the counter, he pulled him out, "Where’s the nearest doctor? Go get one quickly."

"I’ll go find one right away," Once the innkeeper realized they were safe, he sighed in relief. Everyone thought they would lose their lives tonight; it was terrifying.

As the fighting stopped, those prisoners hiding in the common room also rushed out, including the Gu Family members.

Seeing the mess at their parents’ room, a few of them didn’t dare to delay and ran over quickly.

"Dad, Mom, what happened?"

"Dad, are you hurt?" Gu Kaiping supported Gu Baijiang, full of worry.

"Ah," Xu Yulan screamed, "Mom, Mom’s hurt."

In the Gu Family, her life depended entirely on Xu Huizhen, so she was most anxious.

Seeing Xu Huizhen lying motionless on the bed, how could she not panic?

"Mother," Bai Suihe pushed through the crowd with the help of two maids, looking at the scene in shock.

So many people were just watching Xu Huizhen lying there, letting her wounds bleed. With the strong smell of blood, Bai Suihe couldn’t help but feel nauseated, covering her mouth as her face turned pale.

This gory sight made one’s heart uneasy.

"Find a doctor, find a doctor," Gu Kaiping released Gu Baijiang and squeezed into the room, kneeling on the bed to look at Xu Huizhen.

With a trembling hand, he checked her breath and found she was still breathing, finally letting out a sigh of relief, "Where’s the doctor? Hurry and get a doctor to save her."

"The doctor is here, the doctor is here," the innkeeper shouted loudly, but he couldn’t squeeze in.

Hearing this call, everyone finally made way for him. The innkeeper pulled in a young man holding a medical box.

A doctor so young? The Gu Family felt a jolt; could this doctor handle it?

Bai Suihe remembered from the book that although this doctor was young, he did have some skills and actually pulled Xu Huizhen back from the brink of death. But along the way, care was limited, wounds reopened several times, and she ultimately passed away.

In the previous life, Gu Kaiyuan rushed out at the first sound and kept vigil at the door, but relying on his strength alone, he couldn’t withstand so many people. Already injured, he suffered several more cuts.

But this didn’t bring gratitude from the Gu Family; instead, they even blamed Gu Kaiyuan for his impulsiveness, saying his conflict with the opponents provoked them, causing Xu Huizhen to be injured.

During that time, life for Gu Kaiyuan and his wife was genuinely difficult, criticized from all sides, and Bai Suihe, pregnant, had to care for an unpredictable Xu Huizhen.

Despite being healthy, signs of miscarriage appeared.

Later, when Xu Huizhen passed away, all the blame was placed on Gu Kaiyuan, claiming everything was his fault, leading to Xu Huizhen’s death.

This time, even without Gu Kaiyuan charging ahead, Xu Huizhen’s outcome seems just as fated.

The doctor went in, looked at the wounds, and his expression grew somber, "The wounds are quite deep, and I don’t know if internal organs are affected. Even if I treat her, given your current conditions, there’s no way for her to rest properly. Moreover, the medication cannot be stopped. Do you still want to proceed with treatment?"

The doctor was aware of the people living in this courtyard, which is why he asked.

If the patient were ordinary, with his medical skills and some medicine, they’d survive but become frail and frequently ill in the future.

But these were exiled prisoners, not allowed to rest here.

The Gu Family remained silent, unsure how to respond to the doctor’s words.

"Doctor, please save my mother’s life," Bai Suihe took out a silver note from her bosom, "I have 50 taels here. Is it enough?"

Xu Huizhen opened her eyes and saw Bai Suihe’s pale face, her expression complex.

Ms. Bai was indeed filial. Looking at the other daughters-in-law, especially Mrs. Liu, who kept her head down, Xu Huizhen wondered what she was thinking.

"Treat her," Gu Baijiang sighed, after all, they had been a couple, "Sorry to trouble you, doctor."
