Chapter 484: Pregnant?
As the shouting and screaming grew louder and louder, and there were also sounds of fighting coming from the backyard, it seemed that the attacker had broken through from the back or side, climbed over the wall and entered the county government office.
Even someone as calm as Madam Ye couldn't help but show a hint of anxiety at this moment: "Madam, it looks like they can't hold on any longer. Why don't we rush out through the side door? Maybe we still have a chance—"
Lu Zhenzhen smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Mammy, this fight is so loud, but it's been half an hour and no one has come to help. Even if we rush out, I'm afraid it will be useless."
"What's more, in this county town right now, is there any place safer than the county government office? Look at all these people, and they haven't been able to break into the county government office in half a day. But if we go out, we might fall into their hands."
Nanny Ye was also panicking: "Then Madam, what should we do? Are we just going to sit here and wait for death?"
Lu Zhenzhen said calmly, "Of course we can't just sit there and wait for death!"
He walked to the side, picked up a torch, went to the gatehouse next door, threw it in directly, and poured two buckets of oil on it.
Nanny Ye, who was following behind, was terrified: "Madam, what are you doing?"
Lu Zhenzhen smiled slightly: "Mammy, I didn't do anything! These are the rebels who attacked at night, and they want to set fire to the county government office——"
Soon, a fire broke out in the gatehouse, and the flames quickly rolled up the window sills and rolled up the eaves...
Seeing that the fire was almost out, Lu Zhenzhen picked up the gong next to her and started beating it.
In the dark night, the sound of gongs and drums broke the silence.
Lu Zhenzhen ordered, "Shout with me—"
"There's a fire, there's a fire in the county government office—"
Nanny Ye immediately followed suit and shouted.
Then came Dingxiang and the others, followed by the servants.
The sound is getting louder and louder.
The people nearby who had heard the noise but had remained silent could no longer sit still.
This assassination has nothing to do with them, so it's reasonable for everyone to pretend to be dead.
But the county government office is on fire. What if it burns down their house?
Immediately, the houses nearby gradually lit up their lights, and the barking of dogs became louder and louder.
There were people further away, already running towards this side with torches.
The opponent's offensive seemed to pause for a moment and then weakened.
It seemed that the other party also had some fear and hesitation.
Lu Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief. It was good enough that the other party was afraid and hesitant.
If we hold on any longer, these people will probably retreat at daybreak.
It seems a little too early to relax.
Then a cold snort was heard, and then something cut through the air and headed straight for Lu Zhenzhen.
Lu Zhenzhen felt a flash before her eyes and her body turned sideways reflexively.
Then my left arm felt cold and numb.
A huge force hit her, causing her to step back several steps and sit down on the ground.
Lu Zhenzhen looked down and saw an arrow stuck in her left arm, which had penetrated her arm. Blood dripped onto the ground along the wound.
After seeing the injury, Lu Zhenzhen realized that she felt a sharp pain.
Looking up, she saw a figure who had just climbed over the courtyard wall. He was holding a bow with an arrow on it, and was pointing it steadily at her.
Seeing Lu Zhenzhen looking over, the archer smiled maliciously: "If I can't kill that bastard official Fu Zhiyi, killing his wife will be enough!"
After saying that, he loosened his fingers slightly, and the arrow flew towards Lu Zhenzhen's eyebrows.
Next to them were the screams of Nanny Ye, Dingxiang and the others.
Lu Zhenzhen acted quickly, grabbing the armchair next to her with her right hand and smashing it towards the direction where the arrow came from.
In the archer's surprised eyes, the armchair knocked the arrow away at the critical moment.
The arrow shot into the ground with a puff of sound.
Lu Zhenzhen's blow affected the injured part of her left arm, causing severe pain. Her face turned pale and she could barely stand.
The archer sneered: "It seems that this county lady is quite interesting. What a pity. You can break the arrow in my hand once, but can you break it a second time? Prepare to die——"
After saying that, he reached into his quiver and took out arrows, intending to shoot two more arrows.
Just as his hand touched the quiver, something sharp cut through the night sky. With a puff, the archer froze and fell from the courtyard wall, his life or death unknown.
Then, a familiar voice echoed from far outside the county government office: "Attacking the county government office is considered treason! Surrender immediately and you will have a chance to atone for your sins. Otherwise, according to the law, your entire clan will be executed!"
It was Fu Zhiyi's voice.
He finally arrived!
Lu Zhenzhen's tense nerves finally relaxed, and everything went black before her eyes, and she knew nothing.
When she woke up again, she opened her eyes and saw a familiar scene: her bedroom.
Every time she moved, she pulled the wound on her left arm, and she gasped in pain.
Before I could react, a large group of people surrounded me.
Nanny Ye, Dingxiang and the other four maids either looked haggard or had red and swollen eyes.
But he didn't see Fu Zhiyi.
Lu Zhenzhen blinked and opened her mouth to speak, but her throat felt dry and her mouth bitter.
Fortunately, Nanny Ye is very reliable.
As he came forward, he gently helped Lu Zhenzhen to sit up halfway, and stuffed a pillow behind her head so that she could lean back more comfortably.
At the same time, he gestured to Haitang to pour a cup of warm water and fed it to Lu Zhenzhen to moisten her throat.
Then he said, "Hurry up and tell the master that the lady has woken up! And ask the young doctor Qi to come over!"
Dingxiang was quick on her feet and quickly agreed and rushed out.
Lu Zhenzhen finally had the chance to ask, "Mammy, what happened? How long have I been sleeping? Have all the rebels been captured? What's the situation outside now?"
Nanny Ye didn't have time to answer.
There were hurried footsteps outside the house.
The door curtain was opened, and Fu Zhiyi quickly reached the bed in three or two steps.
Nanny Ye and a few maids were very tactful and had already moved aside.
Fu Zhiyi grabbed Lu Zhenzhen's hand, his eyes reddened, and his voice was hoarse: "Zhenzhen, it's good that you woke up, it's good that you woke up——"
"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be hurt—"
Before he could finish his words, Qi Chaihu had already arrived, panting and gasping, dragged here by Dingxiang.
After calming down a little, Qi Chaihu stepped forward to take Lu Zhenzhen's pulse.
After a long while, he nodded and said, "Madam's pulse is stable now. The arrow was not poisonous. Madam only suffered a superficial wound. She just needs to take good care of herself for the next few days."
Lu Zhenzhen frowned: "My injury hurts so much, can't you give me some painkillers?"
Qi Chaihu flatly refused: "Madam, you are pregnant now. There are several drugs in the painkiller that are not good for the fetus. You must not use it! Madam, for the sake of the child, please be patient for a few more days."
Pregnant? Lu Zhenzhen was dazed for a moment before she realized, did this mean she was pregnant?
