The noise caused the people inside and outside the jewelry store to come over and stretch their necks to look.
The old lady was in so much pain that she bared her teeth.
“Oh my legs! What are you all standing there for?! Quickly come over and help me!” The old lady shouted. Her sunken face broke out in cold sweat, and her turbid eyes flashed with some sparkling light, “G-Get the doctor!”
Xie Qiao stepped forward, and the maids and servants behind her got busy immediately.
If she fell outside, she could not say that she was being abused at home, right?
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, she had only touched the old lady once, and after that, she had been pushed far away. No matter how big the sin was, it would not be blamed on her.
However, Xie Qiao had a melancholic look on her face now.
She looked like an obedient junior.
She hurriedly called for someone to carry the old lady into the carriage.
Shop at the jewelry store?
How could she still go there?
The boss of the jewelry store was also a little confused. He looked at Xie Qiao nervously, Xie Qiao took out ten taels of silver from her pocket, “Shopkeeper, don’t worry. My Grandmother is old and hasn’t gone out for a long time. She accidentally fell and affected your business. I’m really sorry. This silver can be used as compensation.”
When the shopkeeper heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief.
This old lady had fallen twice in front of his door. When people saw that, they thought that his place was terrible!
Today’s business would definitely be affected.
However, this girl was sensible.
“The old lady fell at our door. This humble also feels bad. I wonder where your house is. We’ll send someone to send some apologies later…” The shopkeeper said uneasily.
If it was the family that used to extort people, they would probably have to compensate now!
“No need,” Xie Qiao said. After that, she turned around and sent the old lady to the medicine shop.
The old lady wailed and wailed in the carriage, her hands trembling as she covered her legs, “Oh my goodness… How can my old arms and legs withstand the torment…”
She could not stop wailing, the old lady thought something was wrong again.
“T-Tell me, why have I been so unlucky these past two days? I fell yesterday, and I fell twice today. Could it be that that girl’s fate really conflicts with mine?!” After the old lady finished speaking, she thought it was likely.
She had been fine before, but after seeing Xie Qiao, she kept falling.
Now, her legs were broken!
Jia Huan could not be sure either, but she was also injured. She was feeling uneasy, so when she heard that, she immediately agreed, “I think so too. Didn’t you say earlier that Ms. Peng was not on good terms with you? There must be some similarities between this mother and daughter!”
“We must marry off this jinx!” After the old lady finished speaking, she sucked in a breath of cold air.
It hurt, so much so that she could not stand it anymore!
The old lady fell heavily. She did not go to the jewelry store, but instead, she went to the medicine store. After entering, two streams of nosebleeds actually fell.
She was so scared that she was dispirited, and her entire body went limp.
She was old, and she was already afraid of death.
She could still reattach her broken arms and legs, but this bleeding… she was not sure if there was anything wrong with her body, and if too much blood flowed out, she would definitely become much weaker.
Her lifespan might not be as long as it used to be!
The more she thought about it, the more scared the old lady became. She let the doctor take her pulse obediently.
“The Old Madam is in shock. I’ll prescribe something to calm her nerves and go back in a while. It’s not a big problem. Your legs… We’ll have boards clipped on them. You’ll need to rest for a while,” the doctor said.
The old lady heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. She said, “Thank you, doctor…”
Clink, a tooth landed on the table in front of the doctor.
