In a split second, the Big Housekeeper, who had been watching the duo of Pei and Qu, quickly pushed Doctor Qu aside, avoiding the danger of being hit by the falling thick tree trunk.
The trunk hit the ground with a heavy "bang."
If it had hit someone's head, they would be either dead or severely injured.
Qu Fulan, realizing what happened only after the fact, felt her heart tremble. Before she could thank the Big Housekeeper for saving her, she heard someone urgently shouting from a distance, "Heir Pei!"
Everyone looked over and saw Pei Ji'an clutching his chest and kneeling on one knee, his face extremely pale, meanwhile blood was seeping through his shirt.
"Heir Pei, are you alright?" Qu Fulan hurried over to check.
Pei Ji'an looked at Qu Fulan. She didn't know that his heart had stopped beating for a moment, but he managed to suppress the tightness in his chest and slowly shook his head, "I'm fine."
