Originally, Lu Jiao didn’t want to get involved, but Zhu Baozhu dragged her out.

Lu Jiao couldn’t shake off Zhu Baozhu’s hand, so she had to follow her with Feng Zhi trailing behind. Zhang Biyan stood up and walked out, and the other people in the banquet hall, regardless of whether they were afraid or not, stood up and followed.

In the courtyard, Du Lanzhu’s calf was bitten by a venomous snake Her maid came forward and pulled up Du Lanzhu’s pants, revealing her pale and soft calf, which was visibly swollen.

Lady Xia looked at her leg with concern. This person better not die on her turf.

Lady Xia thought of Lu Jiao’s medical skills and turned to look at her, “Lady Lu, can you help examine her? This person cannot die here.”

Although Du Lanzhu was an uninvited guest, the venomous snake came from this household. If Du Lanzhu survives, all could be negotiated. However, if she died, it would be troublesome.

Lu Jiao naturally understood this, but she did not want to treat Du Lanzhu’s injury. However, in front of Lady Xia and the other ladies, it was not good to not show face. So she pretended to respond and took steps toward Du Lanzhu.

“Okay, Lady Xia, I’ll take a look at Lady Du.”

A smile that was neither a smile nor a frown appeared on her lips, and her eyes glimmered.

Du Lanzhu immediately remembered her grudges against Lu Jiao. She knew that this woman could heal and had heard from classmate Han that her medical skills were quite good.

If she let this woman treat her… What if she took the opportunity to harm her? After all, she had done many things to harm her.

The more Du Lanzhu thought about it, the more afraid she became. When she saw Lu Jiao walk towards her, she immediately waved her hand to stop her, “I don’t want you to treat me. Hurry up and get out of here.”

After she finished, she felt dizzy, but she bit her lip hard and didn’t let herself faint.

“Xiaowen, take me to the clinic immediately, and don’t let this b!tch Lu Jiao treat me.”

Lu Jiao deliberately spoke urgently, I ‘Lady Du let me examine you. The snake venom cannot be delayed. If it is delayed, you may be crippled in the future.”

Du Lanzhu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and cursed, “B!tch, you even cursed me! Even if I become crippled, I don’t want you to treat me. Get out of here.”

After she scolded her, she stared at her maid, “Xiaowen, did you hear what I said? Don’t let this woman treat me. She will harm me.

Xiaowen was startled by Du Lanzhu’s words. She thought about their relationship and it was indeed not appropriate for Lu Jiao to treat her.

Xiaowen reached out to help Du Lanzhu, but she couldn’t move her all by herself. Lady Xia didn’t want to stand around and do nothing any longer. She didn’t want anything to go wrong.

She immediately ordered two servants, ‘You two, go with Lady Du’s maid and take Lady Du to the medical clinic.”

“Yes,” the two maids from the Lu family immediately went to help Du Lanzhu.

Although the Lu family’s banquet proceeded as usual afterward, the guests were somewhat distracted. Two or three women occasionally looked at Lu Jiao with suspicious eyes, as if wondering if Lu Jiao was responsible for the incident with the snake.

Lu Jiao ignored their glances and focused on eating and chatting with her companions, including Zhu Baozhu.

Occasionally, Lady Xia would also glance at Lu Jiao. Although she did not say anything outright, her expression was somewhat unfavorable. She had hosted so many banquets and nothing had ever gone wrong before. She never expected that something like this would happen today because of Xie Yunjin’s wife.

Lu Jiao naturally sensed the message in Lady Xia’s eyes. Although she didn’t say anything, she felt somewhat displeased.

Her eyes darkened slightly. In the future, she decided not to attend the Lu family’s banquets anymore to avoid being disliked by others.

In all honesty, Lu Jiao felt quite unlucky. As soon as she arrived in the district, she encountered a woman as troublesome as Du Lanzhu. She had done nothing wrong, yet she suffered so much because of this woman.

Zhu Baozhu noticed that Lu Jiao’s mood was not good and quickly comforted her in a low voice, “I believe you didn’t do anything. Du Lanzhu is a lunatic with an abnormal brain.”

Zhu Baozhu had always felt that Du Lanzhu was not normal. Could a normal woman be so blatant about her relationship with her cousin? Even if they had a relationship, they should keep it discreet. However, Du Lanzhu behaved as if she could do whatever she wanted.

She was to blame for what happened to her with the Han family. Yet she came to blame Lu Jiao. She was just looking for excuses.

Lu Jiao laughed lightly when she heard Zhu Baozhu’s words and said, “It’s

Just as the banquet was ending, the Lu family’s servants returned and quickly reported to Lady Xia.

Madam Xia did not avoid the crowd’s gaze and directly asked, “How is Lady Du doing?

The two servants had difficult expressions on their faces as they replied, “Lady Lu, because we rushed her to the clinic in time, there is no immediate danger to her life. However, she is now unable to speak due to her twisted mouth and nose. The doctor who treated her snake bite also said that there may be other symptoms in the future, such as hair loss, hunchback, and paralysis. In short, while her life was saved, her future will be very bleak.”

Lady Xia’s face turned pale. Since Du Lanzhu was bitten by a poisonous snake while at the Lu family’s house, the Lu family would definitely have to give an explanation to the Du family.

With a displeased expression, Lady Xia asked her servants to walk several ladies out.

Lu Jiao and Zhu Baozhu left together. Lady Xia watched them as they left with an extremely unhappy expression.

Lu Jiao, Zhu Baozhu, Tang Xiaoya, and others had just left the gates of the Lu mansion and were preparing to board their carriages when two or three people across the street surrounded Zhang Biyan, the young lady of the Zhang family.

“That woman, Du Lanzhu, really is unlucky. Not only did she lose her man, but she was also bitten by a poisonous snake. Do you think someone intentionally did it? Otherwise, where would the snake have come from in the Lu family?

We’ve never encountered such a thing before when attending banquets.”

“Yeah, maybe someone had an ulterior motive. If that’s the case, the person who did it is really vicious.”

Zhang Biyan didn’t add fuel to the fire and instead stopped them, “That’s enough. Don’t talk nonsense. She’s just a girl from the countryside and doesn’t understand these things. Du Lanzhu was probably the victim of someone’s evil scheme.”

After Zhang Biyan finished, she boarded the Zhang family’s carriage and left.

Looking at the departing carriage, Lu Jiao raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, although Zhang Biyan’s words were meant to help her, why did they still make her feel so uncomfortable?

Beside her, Feng Zhi spoke angrily, “What kind of people are they? Lady Lu, it’s better not to attend such banquets in the future. It’s really not worth it.”

Lu Jiao nodded after some thought, “Unless it’s necessary, we definitely should not attend such banquets in the future.”

She may have been incompatible with these banquets, which is why she always encountered these unpleasant incidents whenever she attended them.

After speaking, Lu Jiao boarded the Xie family’s carriage with Feng Zhi. Behind them, Zhu Baozhu waved at her and said, “Sister Lu, we’ll come to visit your home tomorrow.”

Lu Jiao didn’t refuse and replied, “Sure, come over and play.” After speaking, she instructed uncle Lin to take her home..
