After all, there are no taboos in marriage. Even though he was threatened by Zhen Muyao, he didn't take it too seriously. However, he knew Jian Shu's temper and didn't dare to be too harsh. If something happened to Jian Shu, it would not only be embarrassing for him, but also for the entire Jian family. Although it wouldn't lead to revenge, it would still be bad.
After a commotion, the banquet had already started outside. It was not convenient for Xiaocao to continue staying in the bridal chamber to accompany Zhen Muyao. As someone who came to escort the bride, they would be given special treatment. However, the focus was on Brother Zhen and his people. Xiaocao happened to hear that their people were at Jian's house, so she went straight to find her own family.
Then, Xiaocao not only saw her mother, sister and sister-in-law, but also her second aunt with her two daughters.
It turned out that when Du was still in the boudoir, she had a very good relationship with Jianshu's mother. However, because Du's circumstances were not good in the following years and she seldom went out, they became estranged. Now, Du has recovered and is no longer shy about going out, so their previous relationship has naturally returned.
So, there are always some connections in this whole process.
Although the taste of this wedding banquet was a little worse than the special meal prepared by Mrs. Zhen at noon, it was still good overall. However, since it was a wedding banquet, there would naturally be toasting and drinking. In order to have steady hands when holding the scalpel and the silver needle, Xiaocao never drank a drop of alcohol, even if it meant "not giving people face". Therefore, Xiaocao focused on eating, and although he deliberately slowed down his pace, he was 70% to 80% full when the wedding banquet was halfway through.
The drinking and finger-guessing games at the female guests' table were quite interesting. Xiaocao watched them and ate something occasionally, so she didn't feel bored at all.
When it was almost over, Xiaocao left the table and prepared to change her clothes. Wenrenxi and Wenrenying followed her. These two girls did not fight like sworn enemies as they did in the past. However, when the two girls came together next to Xiaocao, they actually started to "compete for her favor".
Who does one like more... Although it's not a life-threatening question, it seems that as long as she says she likes this one more, the other one will burst into tears immediately. Xiaocao is very confused. Why would he target her out of the blue
So wherever you go, there will always be two "tail-chasers" around.
Halfway through the journey, he heard two girls arguing. Originally, this had nothing to do with them and avoiding them was the wisest choice. However, Xiaocao heard the two words "Tingyu". Although he was not very sure, the mere similar pronunciation could make Xiaocao's nerves sensitive, so he changed his route almost subconsciously.
Wenren Xi and Wenren Ying didn’t understand what was going on, but they followed without thinking, and then found out that their fourth sister was “eavesdropping”.
No, when did the fourth sister develop this hobby? Or did the content of the quarrel between the two girls attract her attention? She did not ask, but just stood quietly beside Xiaocao.
"… Bitch, you're hooking up with Wei Jincheng and want to marry Brother Tingyu. Don't think I don't know your dirty thoughts. I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"
"Shen Jiaying, stop talking nonsense. If you dare to say another word of nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart. Everyone knows that you like Brother Tingyu, and Brother Tingyu's wife candidate does not include you, and you actually slander me like this? You should let your aunt take a good look at what kind of face you have."
"You... I only treat Brother Tingyu as my brother. Who is like you, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot? I saw with my own eyes that you were flirting with Wei Jincheng, and you still dare to quibble and bite me back? Do you think you can hide it from everyone by pretending to be good in front of your aunt? I will definitely expose your true face."
"Why are you exposing me for something I didn't do? I'm telling you..."
Xiao Cao was no longer interested in listening to what was happening behind her. She turned around and left without saying a word. She walked so fast that Wen Renying and Wen Renxi had to jog to keep up with her.
They didn't know what made the fourth sister's mood become so bad. Although the content of the quarrel between the two girls was quite weird, what did it have to do with the fourth sister
After changing clothes, the two wanted to say something, but Xiaocao seemed to completely refuse to talk.
But when Han saw Xiaocao, she was surprised and asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Cao exhaled softly. She knew she shouldn't bring out certain emotions. She shook her head and said, "It's okay."
Before Han could say anything else, Zhen Muyao's maid came over in a hurry and said, "Fourth Miss, our son-in-law is injured. Please go and take a look. Our young lady is so worried now."
"Jian Shu is injured?" Xiao Cao immediately suppressed her other emotions. "Where is he? Lead the way." Without saying anything else, she pulled the person away and turned back to tell the maid to get her medical box.
Han and Du looked at each other and followed.
"Where are you injured? How did you get hurt?" He is the groom, how could he be injured.
"One of my uncle's cousins got drunk and said some nasty things to my uncle. He also pushed him, knocking over the table and breaking the plates. When my uncle fell, his arm just happened to hit the plates..."
Even so, the injury would not be serious. Does Mu Yao feel so sorry for her man
"Fourth Miss, you don't know that my son-in-law is very afraid of pain. He has been like this since he was a child. Everyone around him is very careful not to let him get hurt. Who would have known that today..."
The grass understood.
People are now decorating the yard of the new house, which will also be where the couple will live in the future.
Zhen Muyao hugged Jianshu's shoulders with one hand. Jianshu was crying loudly. Zhen Muyao wiped the sweat and tears of Jianshu with a handkerchief. Jianshu's mother was pressing the wound on his arm tightly. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law kept comforting him.
Jian Shu's father, who was standing next to him, felt both distressed and angry. It was so embarrassing for such a grown man to cry like this on his wedding day.
"Sister Xuan, please let Jianshu take a look." Seeing Xiaocao, Zhen Muyao spoke hurriedly.
Xiao Cao stepped forward and said, "Madam, please let go first."
Mrs. Jane quickly let go and stepped aside.
Seeing Jianshu's condition, Xiaocao couldn't help but frowned. Regardless of the blood all over his arm, he took out a silver needle to stop the bleeding and relieve the pain. After a few needles, Jianshu's condition was obviously much better.
When Xiaocao's maid brought the medical kit, Xiaocao took out the needle and prepared to treat the wound. Jianshu's face immediately changed due to the pain. Xiaocao had a bad suspicion and quickly numbed Jianshu's entire arm with the needle.
Then he quickly treated the wound. The cut was not long, but a bit deep. He wiped the dirty blood deep in the wound and disinfected it, then sewed a few stitches. The whole process was smooth and fast, and it was done in no time.
He then wiped the blood from the rest of the body and breathed a sigh of relief.
But Zhen Muyao saw that Xiaocao's expression was not relaxed, and his heart was also lifted. "Sister Xuan, is there any other problem?"
"Just a suspicion, I need to confirm it."
Xiaocao asked Zhen Muyao to take off Jianshu's wedding dress, leaving only his undershirt. Jianshu felt a little embarrassed, but Zhen Muyao would not allow him to refuse. Since Sister Xuan had spoken, any hidden dangers must be eliminated.
Xiaocao chose to insert needles in different positions such as the head, arm, hand, leg, and foot, and observed Jianshu's reaction, from pain to almost fainting. Xiaocao's silver needles didn't even stay on him for too long, his reaction was so violent that Zhen Muyao and her mother-in-law were extremely anxious. Her mother-in-law even wanted to stop it, but fortunately Zhen Muyao stopped her firmly.
Finally, Xiaocao sprayed some anesthetic on the white cloth covering Jianshu's wound and removed the last silver needle.
"Jian Shu's body is a bit troublesome."
"Sister Xuan, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me now."
Others followed suit.
"Jian Shu's sense of pain is stronger than that of ordinary people. Let's put it this way. A small cut on his body may be equivalent to a large cut or a broken bone for others. The degree of his current injury is almost equivalent to an ordinary person crushing the bones and flesh of his arm. That's why his reaction is so strong."
Almost everyone showed an incredible expression.
"how so?"
"This situation does exist, but it's very rare and most people don't know about it. So, Jianshu is not afraid of pain, but the pain he feels is several times or even ten times that of others. For ordinary people, a casual bump or collision in daily life is nothing, but he is different."
"So, Jianshu is not being squeamish most of the time, he is just really in pain?" Zhen Muyao said to Jianshu in a daze.
"That's right."
"Oh, oh, how much suffering did my son endure in the past? When he was young, he would cry out in pain all the time. We all thought he was not a boy at all, more delicate than a girl, and sometimes even thought he was pretending. Because of this, his father beat him a lot. My son was really in pain, why didn't we know it? Why didn't we believe him?" Mrs. Jane wiped her tears, turned around, and beat her husband. "Before, I told you not to beat him, but you just wouldn't listen. My son, how painful must he have been at that time?"
Lord Jian just frowned and endured it, feeling extremely regretful in his heart. If he had known it earlier, how could he have been willing to hit him
"Mom, mom, don't hit my dad." Jian Shu hurriedly tried to stop him, but he was at a loss. He himself couldn't believe it. He thought he was just a spoiled child. He thought that he was too painful for others to bear the pain that no one cared about. So, it wasn't that he couldn't bear it, but that he was different from others? ! "Mom, mom, don't cry. It's all in the past. My dad will definitely not hit me again. I'm getting married today. Don't cry."
Mrs. Jian wiped her tears quickly and said, "Okay, okay, I won't cry, I won't cry."
Zhen Muyao was also very distressed when she pulled Jian Shu. "Sister Xuan, with Jian Shu like this, shouldn't we be extra careful not to let him get hurt?" Any injury would be like breaking a bone, who could stand it.
"Not only that. If he is sick or in pain anywhere, you must see a doctor in time. Otherwise, if it becomes serious, he may not be able to bear it. Try to avoid bumps and bruises as much as possible. Serious injuries are definitely not okay. Once he is seriously injured, he may die in pain." There is nothing absolute in the world, so we still have to think of a solution.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Muyao clenched Jian Shu's hand, then immediately released it, "Sister Xuan, is there no way to alleviate this situation? I'm not saying that he can recover like a normal person, but just not be so serious."
"Yes, there are, but it will have an impact on his body. After all, his condition is congenital and systemic, so I don't recommend using it. In fact, as long as you don't go to dangerous places or do dangerous things, there usually won't be any big problems."
"But what if..."
"Muyao, I'll explain it to you in detail later."
So Zhen Muyao nodded and said nothing more. He turned to look at Master Jian and Madam Jian, "Dad, Mom, there are guests outside, you go and greet them. Jian Shu is in this condition, so don't let him go out."
"That's fine." Madam Jian pulled Zhen Muyao's hand, "Muyao, I'm sorry for putting you through this today."
"Mom, it's nothing."
In fact, according to the rules, on the wedding day, the daughter-in-law has to stay away from her mother-in-law, and she has to wait until the next day when she offers tea to call her parents. Who could have thought that such an accident would happen
Lord Jane and Mrs. Jane asked the other guests present to leave.
Zhen Muyao also pulled Jianshu back to the bridal chamber, asked him to wash up, and then turned back to look for Xiaocao.
Xiao Cao asked the maids to go out, and then put the anesthetic spray bottle in Zhen Muyao's hand, "Give this to Jianshu. If something really happens, ask him to spray it on the wound. A light touch will do. If it is inconvenient and you can't bear it, just spray it directly on the mouth and nose. It can immediately numb the senses and make people fall into sleep. This medicine is overbearing. It can quickly make large beasts faint, so you must keep it well. And, Muyao, you have to promise me that you can't use it for other purposes."
"Don't worry, Sister Xuan. Although I sometimes mess up, I still know the importance of things. How could I use it somewhere else if Jian Shu wants it?" What if she doesn't have it when she needs it urgently? So, she will definitely keep it well. As for why she didn't give it to Jian Shu, how could she not be there where Jian Shu was
"This medicine is effective for half a year. When it's about five months old, remember to ask me for a new bottle. Also, it's best not to use it under normal circumstances. If you use too much, I'm afraid it won't be effective at a critical moment."
"Okay, I'll remember that." Zhen Muyao nodded solemnly and put the things away carefully.
"Muyao, I'll keep you for a while and ask you something."
"Sister Xuan is so polite to me, just ask."
"Do you know about the situation of Prince Wei of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion?" Xiaocao did not beat around the bush.
Zhen Muyao was surprised, not knowing why Xiaocao asked this. However, no matter what the reason was, it couldn't be for no reason. "Sister Xuan, you are stumping me. I don't care much about people who have nothing to do with me."
"Let's not talk about anything else. Do you know his name?" "Wei Tingyu", is it Tingyu, or some other word, or maybe it's just similar in pronunciation? But no matter whether it's these two words, since they are "the same", when she mentioned the two words "Tingyu" to him, Wei Shizi shouldn't have no reaction at all. What on earth is he...
