Chapter 34: The Lu Family doesnt need a power hungry person like you 2 (2/2)

Meanwhile at the main courtyard.

Tian Tian was the first person from the courtyard to see Su Liya as she limped in. She nearly dropped the bowl of water she was carrying. ”What happened sister Liya, why are you injured?” she whispered quickly. She placing the bowl of water on the ground and rushed over to give Su Liya a hand.

Su Liya quickly waved her off ”It is nothing, I fell on my way back”, she replied shifting away.

”You got all these injuries from falling?” she said pointing at the scratches on Su Liya arm and cheek. ”It must have been quite the fall”.

”I wasn't paying attention, I fell at the door of the laundry house” Su Liya replied. She didn't see the need to let Tian Tian find out the real truth behind her fall. If she informed Tian Tian then it was only a matter of time before Zhu Fengyin found out.

Since this was the result of her own careless actions, there was no need to drag anyone else into this case. Judging from the Lu family servants response, the order must have come from someone high up.

In the Lu family, there were only two female masters, Madam Lu and Lu Yiling. The management of the house was usually handled by the females. The Duke and general were busy court ministers, they wouldn't have time to arrange something like this.

While the fourth young Master Lu Yong was preparing for the imperial examination and is always at the academy. None of the men would have time to do this, which left only Madam Lu and Lu Yiling.

Apart from a few surface injuries, she wasn't that hurt so it can't be Madam Lu's doing. From what she knew about Madam Lu when it came to her children, she had no bottom lines. If this was Madam Lu's doing, she would have received bodily harm and probably got sold off too.

After weighing everything, Su Liya concluded that it was Lu Yiling's doing. Lu Yiling and Lu Yaozhu were very close, she didn't want anything to ruin her brother's future. Lu Yiling wasn't malicious at all, if anything she was doing her a favour by not informing her mother.

Since Lu Yiling wished to give her a way out, Su Liya decided to follow suit. Su Liya changed the topic ”is our Young Miss awake?”

Tian Tian understood that Su Liya didn't wish to pursue this any further and didn't press on. She nodded ”Yes, I just brought her water to wash her face. if You don't want to make her worry, you can get back to the room and wait. I will send a maid with warm water and medicine for your injuries”.

”Thanks” Su Liya replied

”no need for that” Tian Tian patted her hands and went back to pick up the bowl of water. While Su Liya carefully walked to her room
