Chapter 234 - Appreciating The Flowers (1/2)

Liu Ya and others had waited in silence for a long time outside, while in the hall downstairs, Head Servant Zhang and Zhan Huan were seated silently.

The sun was rising higher and higher and the temperature was also gradually rising, but there was still no movement in the bedroom upstairs. Head Servant Zhang glanced over uneasily. He somewhat could not sit still anymore and coughed. “It’s about time to change the dressings for Young Master.”

“Head Servant Zhang, don’t waste your breath!” Zhan Huan curled his lips and continued, “Since Young Mistress is here, why should we look for trouble? Having her here will be stronger than any miracle medicine! You do not know this, but during the past few days, we were in a hurry to arrive and Young Mistress did not rest well. She must’ve been exhausted and only fell asleep after much difficulty. I’m sure Young Master can’t bear to wake her up. Whoever goes in and disturbs them will only be asking for it! In any case, I’m not going!”

Zhan Huan was scolded by Head Servant Zhang before he could finish. “Rascal, do you need a spanking? Are the Masters’ decisions for you to decide? One more word and I will pull your tongue out!”

With their heads lowered, Qian He and the rest secretly chuckled while Zhan Huan turned sullen. He rubbed his head and sighed, mumbling with his lips curled.

Although Head Servant Zhang scolded Zhan Huan, he felt that his words were reasonable so he did not mention going upstairs anymore. Soon, after seeing the two married maidservants coming down, Head Servant Zhang quickly got up and asked, “Are Young Master and Young Mistress awake?”

“Yes, they need hot water to freshen up! Liu Ya also asked if lunch is ready? Have it served later! Also, bring a pot of boiling water upstairs to make tea!” The one from the Shi Zhong family instructed.

Head Servant Zhang agreed and instructed the servants. Then, everyone parted ways to do their tasks.

It was past noon when the two upstairs finished eating.

When it was time to change the dressings, Shi Fengju and Sang Wan were dumbfounded when the gauze was torn! It was clear that the wound on his leg had turned red and swollen with faint blood stains.

Looking at each other, Sang Wan turned slightly angry while Shi Fengju shifted away guiltily.

“Head Servant Zhang, please invite Physician Li over! The wound on Young Master’s leg doesn’t look very good,” Sang Wan got up and instructed.

Head Servant Zhang was anxious when he heard her and hurriedly asked: “Did it swell because of the hot weather these two days? I’ll send someone to call the physician here quickly!”

Shi Fengju was searching his heart for a reason he could use. Upon hearing Head Servant Zhang, he became overjoyed and laughed. “Exactly, the weather has been so hot these past two days that it became intolerable! Hurry and call Physician Li over.”

Puzzled, Head Servant Zhang silently wondered to himself: This is neither a good thing nor good news, so why did Young Master become overjoyed?

“Sang Wan, it really doesn’t hurt. It’ll be fine after Physician Li takes a look at it. Don’t be angry, okay?” When Shi Fengju saw Sang Wan sitting silently at the side, he knew she must be furious so he spoke while holding onto her hand with a smile.

“My arrival only did you more harm instead. If Mother finds out, she will definitely blame me for not taking care of you properly! There mustn’t be a next time!” How could Sang Wan not be angry? Sang Wan was very furious. Head Servant Zhang was not a fool. Things would not always stay the same forever. If someone were to tell Wang Shi, she definitely could not avoid a scolding.

When Shi Fengju heard her, he felt slightly disappointed. He said with a soft sigh, “Sang Wan, are you angry because you’re afraid my mother will blame it on you?” He had thought that it was because she was concerned and worried about him.

Sang Wan was dazed. She came back to her senses and replied, “What do you mean? I’m naturally afraid that Mother would blame it on me. However, how can I feel good seeing you like this!”

“Sang Wan!” Shi Fengju smiled and held both her hands, “I really am fine! Don’t worry. My injuries will have recovered when I return. Mother can’t be any more joyous than that, so why would she even bother about something so trivial! In any case, I’m willing to suffer this minor pain! It’s really nothing, so don’t take it to heart, hmm?”

Sang Wan simply did not know whether to cry or laugh. She could no longer be angry with him and said with a smile, “Don’t move about. Hurry and lean back obediently. Physician Li will take a look later when he arrives.”

Sang Wan had a guilty conscience. Since Physician Li had good medical expertise, if he managed to find out the cause of the wound worsening, she would be very embarrassed.

Shi Fengju was not bothered and leaned back like what he was told. However, he was unwilling to let her leave. He still pulled her to have a seat beside him and held her hand as they talked until Physician Li arrived. Only then did he let her hide behind the partition.

“It was still fine yesterday. How did it worsen so suddenly!” Physician Li burst into the room. After greeting Shi Fengju, he sat on the stool that Liu Ya had brought over before checking his pulse.

Realizing that his pulse was indeed pulsating abnormally, he frowned slightly and unwrapped the gauze that lightly covered his leg. When he saw the wound, he was in a great shock. “It’s inflamed! How did it become like this!”

Shi Fengju coughed awkwardly and said vaguely, “I suppose it must’ve been because the weather got a little hot these past two days…”
