Yan Lingzhen did not refuse the doctor’s request, she first washed her hands with hot water, and then approached the bedside.
Although she still had the body of a child, her expression was very cold and detached, "Whatever I ask for later, hand it to right away, I don’t want to hear any other nonsense."
"You..." The doctor was dissatisfied with the way Yan Lingzhen spoke. Just monts ago in front of the Commandery Princess, she had seed like a cute little girl, but as soon as the door closed, she changed completely, like a little demon. But then he thought that this was a new thod of stopping blood, and if he could learn it, he didn’t know how much he could increase his consultation fees in the future, and he would have the money to buy a big house and marry off his son next year. With this in mind, the doctor coughed, "Rest assured, Divine Doctor."
Yan Lingzhen seed to know that the doctor stayed with other intentions in mind, but at the mont she did not care to dwell on it.
Huai Yu’s injuries were indeed serious; she had lost a lot of blood before Yan Lingzhen returned.
Now they could not give her a blood transfusion, they could only stitch up the wound first and then use traditional Chinese dicine to gradually nourish her blood and qi.
Thinking this way, Yan Lingzhen took a gulp of the alcohol into her mouth, and then stated, "Let’s begin."
Minutes and seconds passed, and Yan Wanqing sat in the courtyard without leaving.
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Yan Lingzhen, but she felt that during such tis, even just waiting outside would make her feel a little better.
Of course, she wasn’t the only one who hadn’t left.
The Miss Wang from the Wang Family had left and then co back, bringing with her plenty of dicinal herbs to replenish the Young Marquis’s qi and blood.
Yan Wanqing did not refuse.
If it was truly just to repay a kindness, she had no reason to refuse.
Yan Wanqing sat waiting in the courtyard, while Wang Keren paced back and forth at the door.
The afternoon sun quickly set behind the mountains, and the whole courtyard darkened, with candles lit inside the house, but Yan Lingzhen had not co out yet.
A full five an hour had passed.
The night air was cool, and Cong Ge took out a cloak to drape over Yan Wanqing.
"Miss, why don’t you go back first? You have been waiting for five an hour," Cong Ge expressed concern for Yan Wanqing’s well-being.
Yan Wanqing looked exhausted and, after thinking for a mont, said, "That would be good, to change clothes." She was still wearing the clothes from the welcoming event earlier today, which were now uncomfortable and constricting.
As she stood up, Yan Wanqing felt a darkness descend before her eyes, which alard Cong Ge who quickly supported her.
Imdiately after, Yan Wanqing heard Cong Ge cry out in alarm, "Miss!"
Yan Wanqing felt a warm sensation at her nose and reached out to touch it, finding it very wet.
The darkness in front of her gradually returned to normal, and she could see the blood on her fingers.
"Hand the handkerchief," Yan Wanqing said softly, and taking the handkerchief she covered her nose, "Support back."
Cong Ge worriedly suggested, "Should we call for..."
"Let’s go back first, I’ll be fine. Huai Yu’s situation is the priority," Yan Wanqing turned away so no one could see her bleeding and asked Cong Ge to support her as they walked out.
Wang Keren only saw Yan Wanqing being hurriedly supported by a maid as she left, and she frowned slightly, shaking her head, then continued to wait.
After all, she was pampered and spoiled. If not for the emperor’s decree of marriage, how could the Young Marquis willingly tie himself to such a cold-hearted woman?
The more Wang Keren thought about it, the more she felt that Huai Yu did not deserve this.
Thinking of Huai Yu pushing her away that afternoon, then taking a dagger for her, Wang Keren’s cheeks flushed with color again.
She truly hoped the Young Marquis was okay, how could there be a man in the world who spoke so gently, and was so handso...
Wang Keren’s expression fluctuated as she quietly waited outside the door.
Another half an hour passed.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
Wang Keren hurried forward to greet them but then suddenly stopped, "Who are you?"
A flustered little maid pushed the door open and ca out.
Yan Lingzhen was so exhausted at that mont, half-opening one eye, all she wanted was to find a room to crash into sleep, but soone blocked her way.
She frowned and tried to walk by from the side, but didn’t expect to have her clothes grasped.
"Little girl, how is the person inside doing? Where is your master?" Wang Keren peered inside, subconsciously mistaking Yan Lingzhen for the physician’s little dicine attendant.
Yan Lingzhen, unable to move with her clothing clutched, began to grow irritated, "Let go."
"Where is your master? Why are you the only one out here? How is the Young Marquis doing?" As she spoke, Wang Keren stepped forward into the room.
Yan Lingzhen would never let her in, stretching out an arm to block her, "Who are you?"
Just now, Huai Yu was only covered with a layer of blanket, wearing a thin undergarnt; if this woman were to enter, wouldn’t it be totally improper?
She had already warned the physician not to go around gossiping. Who was this inexplicable woman and why was no one taking care of this?
"Don’t be disrespectful!" Before Wang Keren could speak, her maid, in a fluster, said urgently, "This is the young lady of the Wang Family. You, little dicine attendant, truly have no manners. Quickly step aside, do not block our young lady’s way."
"Wang Family?" A foggy-headed Yan Lingzhen couldn’t recognize anyone of that na, "Don’t know them."
"You!" The little maid felt outraged by Yan Lingzhen’s ignorance of Wang Keren.
Wang Keren gently said, "Don’t get angry, Ling Dang. Little children have no idea about these matters." She then looked at Yan Lingzhen, and continued in her gentle voice, "Little dicine attendant, please step aside, and let check on the Young Marquis."
"The Young Marquis has just finished treatnt and cannot see visitors right now," Yan Lingzhen refused without a thought.
Wang Keren was not willing to leave; she hoped to be the first person Huai Yu saw upon opening his eyes, hence she continued, "I promise not to disturb the Young Marquis, I just want to quietly glance at him from inside the room, that would be enough."
"No."
"What’s wrong with you, girl? Where is your master? The master hasn’t spoken yet, is it your turn?" shouted the maid nad Ling Dang, scolding her.
The noise was loud, and Yan Lingzhen’s face turned cold, "Shut up."
Ling Dang’s face instantly flushed with anger, "Who do you think you are, daring to tell to shut up!"
"What is all this commotion! Don’t you know the patient needs rest?" The Divine Doctor, who had just finished neutralizing a poison he had ingested, ca out from the house upon hearing the ruckus outside, annoyed and infuriated.
Seeing the Divine Doctor co out, Wang Keren hurriedly approached and asked, "How is the Young Marquis’s wound?"
Looking at Wang Keren, the Divine Doctor asked, "Who are you?"
Ling Dang was about to introduce her, but then she heard Yan Lingzhen speak up, "Can’t you hear? The patient needs to rest." She raised her elbow and pushed aside the people crowding the doorway, then turned around and closed the door.
Wang Keren stumbled from the push but was fortunately steadied by her quick-reacting maid; otherwise, she would have fallen to the ground and embarrassed herself.
At that mont, her face darkened, and seeing her young lady nearly pushed over, Ling Dang raised her hand, wanted to give Yan Lingzhen a lesson.
Yan Lingzhen didn’t dodge and stared straight at Ling Dang, "If you don’t want your hand anymore, go ahead and try!"
Ling Dang felt a chill all over, not expecting a little maid to possess such a soul-piercing gaze.
By the ti she ca to her senses, she was already a mix of annoyed and ashad.
A re dicine attendant, what of it? To hit her would be just that, the physician wouldn’t dare to fart.
Just as her hand swung down, the Divine Doctor, in sheer terror, nearly jumping out of his skin, rushed forward to block and Ling Dang’s hand landed squarely on the physician’s face, emitting a crisp sound.
The Divine Doctor, holding his face, thought with relief that it was good he wasn’t the one hit, as in the house, he had heard very clearly that this raggedy maid was none other than Commandery Princess Anping’s sixth sister!
"Have you eaten the courage of the bear and the leopard?" the Divine Doctor pointed at Ling Dang and scolded, "How dare you lay a hand on the sixth young lady of the Township Manor!"
"What? The sixth young lady..." Ling Dang stepped backward in shock, tumbling down the steps to the ground, stunned.
Standing on the steps above her, Yan Lingzhen looked down, "Told you, if you don’t want your hand, go ahead and try. You insisted on trying, now think about how you’re going to beg for rcy from my elder sister, alright?"
She didn’t want to invoke her sister’s fearso reputation, but truth was, it was extrely useful.
