Blossom in Adversity

Chapter 25: Apparently no salt?

Views:

Hua Zhi's eyes went dark for a while. She knew very well that she was not injured in any vital parts. This was caused by excessive blood loss. She would recover if she took good care of herself, but the people below didn't know that.

Biting her tongue to prevent herself from passing out, Hua Zhi ordered, "Keep the news secret. Send someone tomorrow. No, Nianqiu, go back tomorrow and tell grandma that the fruits here will soon be ready to fall from the trees. I need to stay here for a while to deal with this matter. Keep it a secret from Yingchun so that she can handle things at home. Tell her to send a batch of goods over in seven days."

After taking a few quick breaths, Hua Zhi continued, "Go to the housekeeper and ask for a group of people to do the work. They must be trustworthy. We don't want the people from the second and third aunts. We'll take as many as we can get out of the house."

"Miss, can you please take care of yourself at this time?" Bao Xia's voice was hoarse and she couldn't stop crying.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. The wound looks serious but it's not a vital part. See if the three are still alive. As long as they are still breathing, we must try to save them. Let Wu Da go get a doctor at daybreak. I may fall asleep and have a fever. Don't worry. Use wine to clean my wound. Oh, the man should have given me medicine just now. Use that medicine. He is not hostile."

Hua Zhi fell back on the bed, feeling dizzy, "I must not let my grandmother know..."

The sound stopped abruptly. Bao Xia was so scared that he hurried to check the young lady's breath. After confirming that the young lady had fainted, he covered her mouth and cried.

Nian Qiu slapped himself in the face and forced himself to calm down. "I'll go find some wine. You take care of the lady."

Outside the house, everyone was waiting there.

Wu Da held the two porcelain bottles in his hands, "Miss Nianqiu..."

Nian Qiu took it and asked, "Are those three still alive?"

Wu Da rubbed his face vigorously. "Chen Liang is dead. Liuzi and Saner each have two knife wounds. I asked Jiezi and the others to take care of them first."

"Go get a doctor when it's daybreak." Nian Qiu said without further ado, took two steps and turned back, "Come with me to find some wine, and you can use the wine to clean their wounds."

"yes."

Everybody move.

Fudong and Liu Xiang carried a bucket of hot water into the room and wiped the young lady's body with it. They watched helplessly as the young lady twitched in pain and even fainted every time they applied wine on the wound. They couldn't imagine how painful it must be.

In the study, a man was playing with a silver hairpin while listening to his subordinates' report.

"Master, now that we have found out, do you want to send someone to retrieve the things?"

"No need, just report it." The man raised his head, revealing a scar on his right cheek that ran from the ear to the corner of his mouth. "Have you found out the identity?"

"Yes, that's the eldest daughter of the Hua family." Seeing that the master was rarely interested in someone, the person reporting told him everything he knew. "The second and third daughters of the Hua family are both talented, but the eldest daughter has never been well-known. She rarely participates in those tea parties. Even if she has to go out, she will cover her face with a veil. There are rumors that she looks plain and is not liked by her family. Surprisingly, she is now the head of the Hua family. Not long ago, Madam Hua went to the Shen family to cancel her marriage. According to the information we found, it was the eldest daughter of the Hua family's own idea."

Looks like she's not salty? The man broke the shrapnel, his lips slightly curled. Even though she looked so embarrassed that night, it can be seen that her face is beautiful and rare, and what's even more rare is her character.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have expected that a young lady who grew up in the boudoir would have such a skill of risking her life, not letting her servants fight for her, but using her own strength to consume most of Qin Zheng's combat power to leave a glimmer of hope for others. How could such a person care about those reputations, how could she not be able to manage a family? To her, those so-called reputations are just a burden.

When he arrived, he just saw her trying to stab the hairpin into Qin Zheng's original wound at the risk of getting injured, and then taking the weapon away from the other party at the cost of being stabbed. If she hadn't lacked strength, she might not have been the one who fell in the end.

Being able to keep a cool head in such a situation is something that not only a weak woman but even an adult man may not be able to do.

The Hua family hid her so quietly, could it be that Hua Yizheng had anticipated that the Hua family would face this difficulty? !

Or maybe... she hides herself too well on weekdays, and even Hua Yizheng doesn't know that his Hua family has such an outstanding granddaughter

Yes, no wonder she was seen riding a horse galloping on the street that day. That was the day when the Hua family was sentenced to exile and their property was confiscated. I'm afraid she started to be the head of the family at that time.

It's really interesting. The man looked down at the sharp silver hairpin in his palm. This thing was also very interesting. The jewelry used by women would not be so sharp. She was not afraid of hurting herself.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

"Your Highness, the prince sent a message saying that the third young master is ill and wants to invite Shaoyao to his house."

"At this hour? He looks very ill." The man curled his lips coldly, "But it has nothing to do with me. He can die if he wants. Let Shaoyao go to the Hua family farm and bring back a few more bottles of medicine."

“…Yes.” The subordinates had long been accustomed to their master’s attitude towards the prince, so they were not surprised. However, it was intriguing that he would let Shaoyao go to see the eldest daughter of the Hua family.

"Chen Qing, check this matter again for me. Why do I feel like the Second Prince is involved here?" The man narrowed his eyes dangerously. Even if he was a knife, it was a knife in the hands of the Emperor. Not everyone could use it. If someone couldn't remember it, he didn't mind making a deep impression on him.

I don't know when the rain stopped, and light appeared in the sky.

The carriage stopped outside the manor, and Nian Qiu and Wu Da went together, one going back home and the other to see a doctor.

Inside the house, Fu Dong changed the handkerchief again, touched the young lady's neck, and said with joy, "The fever seems to have subsided a little. Bao Xia, come and touch it."

Bao Xia quickly reached out his hand to check, and a look of joy appeared on his face, "Yes, it has retreated a little."

Both of them were very relieved that the young lady did not have a high fever, but was just slightly higher than usual, which was much better than expected.

"It's really a good medicine. I think those two people should be fine."

Baoxia decided to give one of the bottles of medicine to Liuzi and Saner. Having followed the young lady for so many years, she knew her young lady's character very well. She had to give it to them no matter how reluctant she was. After all, the two of them were also injured because of the Hua family.

The young lady is very protective of her servants. Even servants like them, who have lowly lives, will be protected as long as the young lady treats them as her own.

Unfortunately, the dosage of this medicine is small. If I use it sparingly, I can only use it three times. If I can save that bottle...

Baoxia sighed and stopped thinking about it.

"Hold Sister Xia, there's someone outside who wants to see you." Liu Xiang ran in and whispered, "It's a woman wearing a veil. She said she was asked to treat the young lady's injuries."

Bao Xia frowned. The young lady has always been lazy about going out. She seldom interacts with her sisters at home, let alone outsiders. What's more, the incident happened last night and the young lady asked everyone to keep it secret, so no one should know about it.

But she said she came to treat the young lady's injuries...
