Ming Zeyue was definitely brought up in pampered pampering. Normally, even if she got bumped, she would make a big noise. At this moment, she was unexpectedly so tough. But for someone like her, it was not toughness, but more like she was unrepentant. This made her grandfather even more furious, "Keep hitting!"
"Stop hitting her, stop hitting her, Dad. Yue'er is spoiled. If you continue to hit her, it will cost her her life. Dad, please stop hitting her. It's all my fault. I didn't teach her well. If you want to hit her, hit me. Don't hit Yue'er anymore. Please, please..."
Ming Zeyue's mother was held tightly by two maids. She wanted to rush over to stop them, but she couldn't break free no matter how hard she struggled.
Ming Zeyue's father also clenched his fists, his whole body was shaking. Looking at his father with a gloomy face and his eyelids not moving, he still had some understanding of his biological father. His heart became cold and hard, just like a stone frozen in ice in winter, cold and hard. If you are tough, it is a provocation to him. If you beg for mercy, it may add fuel to the fire. Whatever you do may be wrong.
Finally, he suddenly walked towards his wife, grabbed her and slapped her twice, "Why don't you shut up? It's all your fault. A loving mother often spoils her child." After beating her, he pushed her away, "Dad, Ming Zeyue committed such a big mistake, it's not a pity to die, but Ming'er Zhixin is getting married, if she dies now, it will inevitably bring bad luck, why not wait until after tomorrow to deal with it?"
If you say that death is unlucky, but more than one person has died, does that mean servants are no longer human? Doesn’t servants have bad luck
The Minister of War naturally knew what the eldest son meant, but he was just trying to save people in a roundabout way. Beating a servant to death and beating a granddaughter to death are two different things after all. The former may be labeled as cruel, not to mention the latter. As the saying goes, even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, so what is the meaning of beating a granddaughter to death? He was given a way out, so he just went along with it.
As for the daughter-in-law's begging for mercy, was it adding fuel to the fire? Maybe, maybe not. What could a little girl know? She had someone in her hands. How could she be so resourceful that she would make someone do things for her without regard for their lives? Most likely...
Mrs. Ming fell to the ground, but she didn't care about herself, stumbled to her feet and ran towards her daughter.
Ming Zeyue had fainted at this moment. Madam Ming hugged her and cried bitterly, "Call the doctor, call the doctor..."
The Minister of War did not stop him. He stood up and said, "Send Ming Zeyue away tonight." Then he turned away.
After the patriarch left, the irrelevant people also dispersed. No matter what they thought of Ming Zeyue before, it was too tragic now. They felt a little sympathy for her, but at the same time, they had another understanding of the patriarch of their family. When he became ruthless, he could really disregard blood ties. At the same time, they also warned themselves in their hearts that they should be more cautious in their words and deeds in the future. Of course, they could not do the same thing as Ming Zeyue.
In the end, they were the only ones left; some were indifferent, while others were panic-stricken.
Ming Zeyue was sent back and woke up in pain again. This time, facing his "family", he was not so hard anymore. He cried out in pain, and his whole body looked messy, so miserable.
“Yuer, Yueer…” Madam Ming grabbed her hand, “Doctor, doctor—why are you so stupid, why are you so stupid, it’s all mother’s fault, it’s mother’s fault…” Madam Ming couldn’t stop crying.
Some of the speculations of the Minister of War were correct. She did not just acquiesce in the destruction of the dowry...
But her daughter took on everything. This silly child, silly child...
“Mom, I’m used to being willful and stubborn. No matter how big the problem is, it’s always my fault. You’re different, you’re different…” Ming Zeyue grabbed her mother’s hand, her eyes a little dazed, perhaps numbed by the pain, and she murmured lifelessly.
If she took the responsibility alone, the impact on their family would be much smaller. But if it was her mother, then the whole family would be affected. If she was really so selfish and only considered herself, she would not agree to cancel the engagement when she was in Pingjin Marquis Mansion. She was determined to fight to the end. But she would rather become a laughing stock and even thought about living a secluded life in the future. Why did she bring up the matter of marrying for someone else? Not only did they rob her of her things, but they also robbed her mother of her things!
"Mom, do you think we should treat Zeyue's wound first? Doesn't the parenting manual say that although Zeyue is not a child anymore, the situation is similar, so it should be okay? Otherwise, if the blood sticks the cloth to the wound..." Ming Zeyue's sister-in-law spoke cautiously.
"Yes, yes, what does the book say? What does it say? Hurry up, hurry up..." But Madam Ming was still in a panic and couldn't even stand up. "Childcare manual, childcare manual... Doctor, doctor, go to the Wenren family and invite the fourth daughter of the Wenren family over. Hurry up, hurry up - don't ask for the imperial physician, go to the Wenren family, go to the Wenren family -"
So when the people from the Ming family came to the door in a hurry, Xiao Cao was a little confused and frowned fiercely. Ming Zeyue was unruly and willful, arrogant and domineering, but in fact he was not a vicious person. In Xia Bihe's case, not only was she really angry, but Xia Bihe herself didn't want to live anymore. There were many factors that led to the near drowning...
The ones who came to invite Xiaocao were Mingzeyue's brother and sister-in-law. They begged many times and were very sincere.
Xiaocao rubbed his brows. Even though Ming Zeyue had done many wrong things, his crime did not deserve the death penalty. If he was beaten with a stick, he might break some bones... Xiaocao finally carried the medicine box and followed him to Ming's house.
Han was worried, so she followed him.
When I entered the room, the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau was still there, and it was that "familiar" Imperial Physician Dong.
When Imperial Physician Dong saw Xiaocao, his eyes lit up and he moved aside proactively.
Unfortunately, Ming Zeyue is a girl, and her injury is in a special place, so the Ming family naturally cannot let her watch on the spot.
Xiao Cao didn't have so many concerns. He just looked at the wound and then inserted a silver needle into the spine. Ming Zeyue's entire lower body lost consciousness and she felt no pain. She lay there weakly, crying.
Seeing Ming Zeyue's situation, it wasn't just Mrs. Ming who felt that she had found the right person...
The wound has been treated. Although it is rough, it is still somewhat useful. Xiaocao treated it again. It must be said that the Minister of War was really cruel. This was his former favorite granddaughter. He beat her without hesitation. His heart is really like stone. In other words, some people can be dealt with easily when their interests are not violated, but once the bottom line is crossed, they may immediately turn their backs on them.
In comparison, Xiaocao really thinks that Xia Duyu is much stronger.
Ming Zeyue was hit not only on her buttocks, but also on her lower back. The flesh on her buttocks was thicker, so it was okay. But if she went straight to her lower back, she might hit the bone. "I'm going to take out the silver needle and show you the bone. Bear with it."
Mingze Yue thought of the pain she had felt before and bit the sheet directly into her mouth.
Xiaocao took out the silver needle. In order to know the situation accurately, he would not be gentle when he was doing it. At that moment, Mingzeyue's whole face was deformed due to pain and excessive force. She tightly grasped the sheets with her hands. It was not known whether it was really too painful or she thought of something, tears rolled down her eyes again, and then her whole body loosened its strength and she fainted.
"Yue'er, Yue'er..."
“Don’t worry, ma’am. She just fainted because she couldn’t bear it. This is a kind of self-protection. The situation is not worse. However, the bone is fractured. Although it is not shattered, it is not easy to heal. She may not be able to stand up in the future.” After all, the sciatic nerve was also injured, which is somewhat similar to the situation of King Dingbei. Of course, Ming Zeyue’s injury is much lighter, and Xiaocao has different perceptions of the two, so now, there is actually no emotional fluctuation.
Mrs. Ming's eyes went dark, her legs went weak, and she almost fell down.
"Madam, madam, don't be anxious. It's just a possibility. The possibility of cure is still greater." After all, judging from the healing status of King Dingbei's injuries, the efficacy of the medicine is very good. Only some minor adjustments need to be made to the medicine for Ming Zeyue. Of course, this person's physique is also very particular. How can Ming Zeyue, a delicate lady, compare with King Dingbei
As for the medicines we use now, they are purely for skin injuries and have little effect on muscles and bones.
Madam Ming tried hard not to faint. "How to use the medicine? Miss, can you please leave the recipe to us? Don't worry, we will never pass on the recipe to anyone else." After all, some people have exclusive secret recipes and they take it very seriously. "Yuer's grandfather has said that she will be sent away tonight, so..."
"Given Miss Ming's current condition, moving will not do her any good. She could have recovered, but with this move, maybe..."
"I know, I know." Madam Ming gritted her teeth, as if she had made a decision. "Just treat the girl as she needs, please."
Xiao Cao nodded, "I'll leave the prescription for the internal medicine, and the external medicine will be prepared when I return. After all, it's not very convenient for your house right now. It depends on whether Madam will send someone to get it, or I will have someone deliver it to you."
"I'll send someone to get it. Why should I trouble your people to run back and forth?" Mrs. Ming was very sensible at this moment.
"That's fine," Xiao Cao paused, "Madam, send someone you can trust, and don't let the things pass through other people."
Mrs. Ming nodded hurriedly. Needless to say, Mrs. Ming would also pay attention to this point. After all, there might be people who wish her daughter to die.
Xiaocao left the prescription and went with Han. Madam Ming still asked her son and daughter-in-law to see her off and wait at the Wenren House to bring the medicine back. During this time, she needed to make her father-in-law change his mind.
When leaving, Xiaocao turned her head to glance at the wall that seemed very abrupt and unsightly. There was a small door in the upper middle. On the other side of the door, there was a girl, with only half of her face exposed. She was an "acquaintance". Wasn't the girl present when she entered the palace to meet the empress dowager? However, the feeling she gave people now was completely different from that time.
Xiaocao's eyes met hers directly.
For some reason, Xiaocao always felt that her gaze was a little creepy.
Leaving the courtyard, "That girl just now..."
Brother Ming Zeyue moved his lips and said, "My cousin from the next room will marry into Prince Cheng's mansion in my place. If you meet her in the future, please be careful. After all, she came to treat my injury today, and she has something to do with us..."
Xiaocao learned about the proxy marriage from Zhen Muyao. She didn't look surprised, but she didn't expect that it was this person she had met once. "Just because I treated Miss Ming's injury, could she hold a grudge against me?" Xiaocao found it a little unbelievable.
"I hurt her badly this time. She probably wanted me to die. It's normal for her to be angry and resentful of me because I saved her. We are the ones who caused trouble for her. I'm sorry."
Han at the side did not speak, her face looked a little ugly. Anyone who brings disaster upon himself while trying to save others would feel unhappy. Compared with the previous offense against Prince Dun, she cared more about it. After all, the situation was different. Although this woman married the powerless Prince Cheng and was destined to be an unpopular princess, she was still a princess after all. Women had many private means to target women.
Xiao Cao didn't seem to care too much, and even smiled. "I personally think that if she is a smart person, she shouldn't do stupid things. After all, how can she guarantee that there won't be a day when she needs me."
The Ming couple deeply agreed with this. Even those people from the Imperial Hospital, who could be held hostage by them, would have to be more polite at ordinary times. After all, even if they didn't use any dirty tricks, a little bit of manipulation would be enough to make people suffer.
I vaguely feel that the medical skills of this Miss Wenren are probably better than those people, and she is a woman. If other women encounter certain situations, she may be the only one who can save them. If you offend her too much, then you may have no choice but to wait for death. After all, she is different from those people in the Imperial Hospital. When you come to her for medical treatment, you seek her medical treatment. Whether she will accept it depends on her mood.
Thinking of this, my guilt was alleviated a little.
The medicinal materials at home were not complete, so I took a detour and went to the pharmacy to buy some.
Because the house was fully equipped with all the necessary equipment, the medicine was prepared quickly and they didn't have to wait too long.
But when he arrived at the gate, he ran into Zhen Muyao who was coming to visit the Wenren Family in a carriage.
How could the Ming family not know about the feud between Zhen Muyao and Ming Zeyue? Moreover, in the upper circles, many people knew about Zhen Muyao's collusion with the fourth Miss Wenren, so this head-on collision was somewhat embarrassing.
Xiaocao was a little surprised, "Mu Yao, why are you here at this time?" Xiaocao looked up at the sky, it was about to get dark.
"I'm free and have nothing to do, so I came to play with you. It's really late, so I'll stay at your place tonight." Zhen Muyao smiled and glanced at the Ming couple. "You two have the medicine, why don't you go back quickly?"
The awkward atmosphere did not diminish, so he nodded and left quickly.
After the two of them left, Zhen Muyao pulled Xiaocao and asked, "Did they come to you for help?"
"You are so well-informed. - Are you angry because I treated Ming Zeyue, Muyao?"
