Chapter 1697: Chapter 1698: Avoid Suspicion
The wet nurse ca over holding Little Tiangua. Su Yunjin took the dicine, not even sparing a mont to tease her daughter, and hurriedly brought the ointnt into the courtyard. Outside, Aunt Bao had already deftly cleaned Hong Wu and Xue Chu’s wounds. Seeing the situation here, Aunt Liang also proactively stepped forward to help. Initially, Aunt An wanted to assist as well, but Su Yunjin handed her a few packets of herbs. “Auntie, Brother Xue and the others have been injured and need dicine. These are dicinal herbs for treating wounds. Please take them to the kitchen and brew them as I instructed. Once ready, bring them over to share with everyone.”
Aunt An nodded, took the dicine from Su Yunjin, and left for the kitchen. The wounds of Xue Chu and the others were on their arms and backs. Su Yunjin opened the ointnt and first applied it to Xue Chu and Hong Wu’s arm wounds, then gave the ointnt to them, allowing them to apply it to each other’s back wounds.
In fact, Su Yunjin could have helped Xue Chu and the others apply the ointnt to their back wounds, but since this is ancient tis, there are distinctions between n and won. Just helping them with the arm wounds made the two very uncomfortable. If Su Yunjin were to help with the back wounds, they would probably dash away in a flash. Moreover, giving the ointnt to Xue Chu and the others to apply on each other also avoided gossip.
After Xue Chu and Hong Wu applied the ointnt given by Su Yunjin, they quickly felt the pain in their wounds lessen significantly. Xue Chu looked at Su Yunjin with delight, “Madam, this ointnt of yours is truly effective. After applying it to my wounds, they hardly hurt anymore.”
“Madam, it’s the sa for . My wounds don’t hurt anymore either,” Hong Wu said cheerfully. The others, hearing about the effectiveness of Su Yunjin’s ointnt, all hurried to apply it too. “Brother Xue, hurry, hurry, the wound on my back is hurting a lot. Apply it on quickly.”
“ too, too, Brother Xue, do apply so on as well.” Everyone was eager to apply the ointnt, a bit impatient. Xue Chu scooped so remaining ointnt onto his hand, applying it for one of the others, saying, “Don’t rush, don’t rush, everyone will get so, just co one by one.”
Hong Wu stepped up to help, “Brother Xue, give the ointnt, I’ll help apply it to everyone.” With Hong Wu and Xue Chu both helping, Su Yunjin went to get cotton strips to bandage everyone’s wounds. Aunt Bao and Aunt Liang also assisted Su Yunjin, and soon everyone was both treated with ointnt and bandaged with strips.
Finally, Su Yunjin turned to Xue Chu and Hong Wu, “Brother Xue, Brother Hong, everyone’s bandaged up, now it’s your turn.” Xue Chu and Hong Wu had been helping apply the ointnt to everyone else, so their own wounds were not yet bandaged. Su Yunjin intended to help bandage their wounds, but Xue Chu quickly grabbed two cotton strips from the table, chuckled, “Madam, Brother Hong and I can bandage each other, no need to trouble you.”
Xue Chu mimicked Su Yunjin’s earlier actions of bandaging others and swiftly helped Hong Wu bandage his wounds. Although the bandaging wasn’t as neat as Su Yunjin’s, it would suffice. Su Yunjin smiled, allowing Hong Wu and Xue Chu to bandage themselves. Watching everybody’s bandaged wounds, Su Yunjin couldn’t help but think of King Chu, who was also injured while saving her today. Should she send so wound dicine to him as well?
Forget it!
Better not to send it.
She and King Chu should maintain their distance. Since King Chu saved her this ti, she could repay him in the future when the opportunity arises.
