Wen Xinya couldn't help but be surprised. The "Seventeen Posts" by the calligrapher Wang Xizhi has always been a national treasure-level cultural relic that is sought after by collectors. It is said that once a piece of "Seventeen Posts" called "Yimin Post" was sold at a sky-high price of 300 million!
But, that was many years ago.
The value of these collectibles has increased significantly in recent years, and it is estimated that they would not be sold at this price at auction now.
Grand Duke Moville was indeed generous. In order to give Si Yiyan an explanation and to appease her, he was willing to spend a huge amount of money.
Grand Duke Moville showed his full sincerity, but Si Yiyan was still a little dissatisfied and kept pursing his lips without saying a word.
Wen Xinya tugged at his sleeve, smiled and said, "Rex has always loved me and couldn't bear to see me get hurt. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, but my injury is not too serious. I'll be fine in a few days after applying some medicine."
This means accepting the apology and sincerity of Grand Duke Moville, and the words were said very nicely, without mentioning a single word that would damage the reputation of the Grand Duke's Mansion.
When Grand Duke Moville heard about Qin Ya, he immediately ordered someone to get the things.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the private room. It was the doctor coming.
Grand Duke Moville quickly asked the doctor to enter the private room.
The doctor carefully examined the wound on Wen Xinya's arm and said, "Fortunately, the wound is only on the surface of the skin. Fortunately, the bones and tendons are not injured. It's just that the lady's skin is sensitive and the wound was not treated immediately, so it has worsened a little."
The doctor's words made Si Yiyan purse his thin lips again: "This injury, take good care of it, how long will it take to heal?"
Although the injury was better than he had imagined, he still felt heartbroken. It was not the first time that he had experienced the pain of her body and his heart. Therefore, he was extremely displeased with Aurora's behavior and had already started thinking about how to punish that woman Aurora.
The doctor said, "With good care, it will probably take about a week."
The injury was not too serious, and was lighter than Miss Aurora's. Aurora fell off her horse, and her body was covered with wounds of varying sizes. Her foot was sprained, and it would probably take her a week before she could get out of bed, and more than half a month to heal. It would take a month to fully recover.
Si Yiyan's eyes were a little heavy.
Wen Xinya said quickly: "Don't worry, I'm fine. This injury looks scary, but it doesn't hurt that much. Look at me... I don't look like I'm in pain at all."
She lied. Among all the punishments, flogging was the cruelest and was called torture. How could Aurora say it was okay after using all her strength to flogging her? In fact, her wound had been hurting badly. At first it was like a burning pain, as if her skin was bursting. Now it was like being doused with chili water, the pain was penetrating into her bones and piercing her heart.
She was afraid of being discovered by Si Yiyan, so she had been enduring the pain. She didn't expect Si Yiyan to be so perceptive and was easily discovered by him!
It would have been better if she didn't say anything. After she said that, Si Yiyan's aura condensed: "Does this injury hurt? Here..." He pointed to the position of his heart, and his voice suddenly became low and hoarse: "It's very clear!"
"I..." All the words Wen Xinya wanted to say to comfort him were stuck in her throat. Her throat felt extremely dry. She opened her mouth, but found that no sound came out.
Her injuries were actually just superficial ones. They looked scary, but they were not that serious. Although her skin was a little damaged, the damage was not serious. It was nothing like those real whip wounds that were scary with skin and flesh torn apart.
Grand Duke Moville said, "I have some excellent ointment. I guarantee that Miss Bella's injury will heal quickly after applying it, and it won't leave any scars."
Grand Duke Moville looked at the two people opposite him with a hidden gaze. The mask blocked the expression on his face, but the deep affection he showed freely could not be faked. It seemed that the rumor that those in power in Lucifer were all infatuated was not groundless.
His eyes narrowed.
If this is the case, Miss Bella will become the biggest obstacle to the marriage between the Moville Mansion and Lucifer.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, "Thank you, Grand Duke."
Soon, the ointment was delivered.
The doctor was about to reach out to take it, but a hand was faster than his. The jade bottle, those hands were slender and beautiful, with the hardness of jade, distinct joints, but also with the firmness of horns and bones.
Si Yiyan said calmly: "Don't worry about treating the wound and applying medicine, doctor, I can do it myself!"
After these words were spoken, even Grand Duke Moville couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. He actually valued Miss Bella to this extent
Si Yiyan didn't care about the doctor's panic and Grand Duke Moville's surprise. The wound was so serious that it would definitely be painful to deal with. Instead of leaving it to others who might not know the severity of the problem, it would be better for him to do it himself.
Si Yiyan placed her arm on his leg, took out the disinfectant cotton, and started cleaning around the wound, carefully moving towards the wound. His movements were as gentle as a feather, yet meticulous without missing a single mistake.
"Hiss!" Although Si Yiyan was so careful, the stimulation of the disinfectant still made Wen Xinya's lips tremble in pain, and the arm placed between his legs also shivered a few times.
"Does it hurt? I'll be gentler." Si Yiyan could imagine how painful and pale her face must be under the mask, so he couldn't help but be gentler. From time to time, he lifted her arm, put it to his lips and blew air, thinking that this would relieve her pain.
Wen Xinya found it a little funny. The pain from the injury was caused by alcohol. No matter how careful he was, it was useless.
His blowing action reminded her of when she was little, her little sister who lived next door had a mother who accidentally hurt her finger while cutting vegetables. It bled a lot, and she held her mother's finger and said, "Mom, it hurts, blow on it and it won't hurt anymore!"
At that time, she was just like Si Yiyan, carefully blowing on her mother's wound, as if this would really relieve her mother's pain.
In fact, these are just words used by adults to coax children, but later on, the children begin to think that these words can cure all diseases.
However, such a sincere gesture still moved her beyond words.
Soon, the wound was cleaned, and Si Yiyan applied the ointment that Grand Duke Moville had brought out for her. The effect of the ointment was really good. It felt like cool mint when applied to the skin, very refreshing and comfortable.
After treating the wound, Si Yiyan did not plan to stay at the banquet any longer: "Bella is injured, it is inconvenient for us to stay for long, so I'll take my leave first."
Xinya was seriously injured, and it took half an hour to get from Moville to the manor, so he decided to treat her injuries briefly before going back.
It was already half past ten. The banquet had lasted for four and a half hours, but nothing had been accomplished. However, since things had come to this point, Grand Duke Moville could not force him to stay any longer, so he had to say, "I am sorry for the delay in today's banquet. Rex, please forgive me."
The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries, and Si Yiyan couldn't wait to leave with Wen Xinya.
