Chapter 232: What Do I Do If You Didn’t Regain Consciousness?

“Oh look at the time! I don’t know if you usually take your dinner or medicine first. Has the physician arrived?” Sang Wan hurriedly got up and tidied the hair near her temples before calling Liu Ya in.

Liu Ya came in and lit the candles which illuminated the entire room. Head Servant Zhang also came in and said with a smile, “Young Master, Physician Li is here. Would you…”

Shi Fengju glanced at Sang Wan. Sang Wan couldn’t help but say, “Since Physician Li is here, hurry and invite him in so that he can quickly have a look at Lord!”

With that, she dodged to the back of the partition.

“Let Physician Li in!” Shi Fengju nodded his head.

Head Servant Zhang acknowledged his words and went downstairs to receive him. Physician Li examined the wounds as per usual and checked on how he was doing. As he lightly pressed around Shi Fengju’s body, he asked how he felt. Then, he checked the wound behind his head and told him with cupped fists, “Congratulations, Young Master. Your injuries are healing well. As long as you change the dressings on time, take good care of your wounds, eat light and avoid spicy foods, you will be fine after some time. I will provide a prescription so have your servants pick the herbs according to it. From now on, I will not come every day but every four days to adjust the prescription based on your condition. If you have any doubts, you can send someone to call for me!”

Shi Fengju felt fine. However, Head Servant Zhang had been worried for nothing, as such, Shi Fengju did not feel it was right to refuse his good intentions. However, now that Sang Wan was here, he was unwilling to see the physician twice a day. Now that his wish had been granted, there was a joyful smile on his face, “We have troubled Physician Li! That’s great! Head Servant Zhang, please send Physician Li off!”

After they left, Sang Wan came out from behind the partition and said with a smile, “Since Physician Li said so, clearly you are fine now! Are you hungry? Why don’t I ask them to serve the food! I’ll help you change your dressings later.”

Seeing her nag and being concerned about him, he felt warm in his heart. With a smile, he looked at her and said, “Anything is fine”.

When Sang Wan saw that he clearly did not wish to be concerned about his injuries and every other trivial matter, she could only instruct with a smile.

Head Servant Zhang and the others had experience serving him, so the food they prepared was plain yet tasty. Since they were afraid his injuries would get inflamed, there was no seafood but only ordinary chicken and pork. There was white gourd and short ribs soup, chicken and bean curd, fresh bamboo shoots and tenderloin meat, minced pork and steamed egg, stir-fried vegetables with lily and fungus, bok choy with chicken oil, and many more which were extremely light and refreshing.

The two married maidservants went upstairs with the meal boxes and laid the table in the middle of the hall. Head Servant Zhang, Zhan Huan, and the others helped Shi Fengju get off the bed and walk over. He then sat on a wide rattan chair with a backrest.

Shi Fengju’s eyes glimmered. Before he could say anything, Head Servant Zhang had already led everyone to take their leave. In a split second, only both Shi Fengju and Sang Wan were left in the room.

Head Servant Zhang had never attended to him closely but Zhan Huan knew in detail. He had quietly told him beforehand that when their Young Master was getting along with their Young Mistress, he did not like anyone else to be around. Therefore, he secretly took note of it. When he saw Shi Fengju’s gaze, he knew that Zhan Huan was right.

When Sang Wan saw that everyone had left, who else was there to serve him besides her? After all, he was a patient.

She got up and put a bowl of soup gently before him and said with a smile, “Drink some soup to warm your stomach first. Tell me what you want to eat and I’ll take it for you.”

Shi Fengju said with a smile, “I’m fine. You don’t have to bother about me. You must have been exhausted from your journey here. You should eat too!” With that, he held up the bowl of soup in his hands. He scooped a spoonful of soup and tested the temperature before putting it in front of her mouth.

Sang Wan was in a daze and stared blankly at him.

Shi Fengju chuckled with a smile. The porcelain soup spoon touched her soft lips and he spoke with a smile, “Have you gone dumb? Hurry and open your mouth!”

Sang Wan rigidly opened her mouth and swallowed before she promptly said, “I… I’ll do it on my own. You should quickly eat some! Otherwise, the dishes will turn cold!”

“Alright.” Shi Fengju laughed. Then, he lowered his head and slowly ate while chatting with her.

A short while after eating, Sang Wan helped him to a seat on the couch. Under Head Servant Zhang’s guidance, the two married maidservants came in with a wooden basin and a pot of jet-black liquid medicine to clean Shi Fengju’s wounds.

After which, the ointment would be applied before wrapping the wounds with new gauze.

Head Servant Zhang used to be the one doing it, but Sang Wan was naturally the one to do so now.
