Chapter 1769: 1769 treated Qinghe’s leg
Maid Yinzhu carried a tray, on which were a few plates of dessert and a pot of tea, “Master, I’ve placed your tea on the table.”
Xiao Qinghe directed his gaze towards Su Qingyue, “Qingyue, it’s been a long ti. May I disturb you at the Mansion?”
“Of course you can.” Su Qingyue replied with a smile, “Even if Fourth Brother doesn’t co to find , I was planning to look for you.”
Upon hearing her words, hope flickered in his eyes, “Really?”
Su Qingyue nodded gently, “Fourth Brother, I have half good news to tell you.”
His warm eyes were as serene as water.
She continued, “These few years, I have often researched how to treat your legs, and I’ve finally found a thod, but it lacks a dicinal ingredient, the Thousand-knot Grass. The Thousand-knot Grass grows outside Poison Death Valley, in Ghost Forest; it was Third Brother who brought it to . Your legs have hope of healing.”
His clear eyes filled with astonishnt and then ecstatic joy, his voice trembled slightly, “Qingyue, is what you said true?”
Xiao Yuchuan had so criticism about him not calling the third sister-in-law by her title, yet said nothing.
She nodded, “Indeed. Nowadays, I am seventy percent confident that I can help you stand again. But… your leg bones need to be broken again, and even the leg tendons have to be severed and reconnected. After severing, I will use dicine to help the severed veins to grow, reaching the previously numb areas…”
She calmly explained her plan.
Xiao Yuchuan said, “Fourth Brother, this thod will bring you a lot of pain. My wife said there’s a thirty percent chance it might not work.”
“A seventy percent chance of healing is enough. Even if it’s only ten percent, I’d take the gamble.” Xiao Qinghe was too eager to stand again.
Su Qingyue inford him, “The dicine I use is half poison and dicinal redy. If it fails, your thighs will be eaten away by the poison, and then the only option is to amputate to prevent the poison spreading throughout your body…”
“I am not afraid.” His gaze settled tranquilly on his own legs, “For so many years, these legs have been useless anyway, and if I remain unable to stand forever, amputation makes no difference to .”
“Very well. Ti waits for no one; starting tomorrow, I will begin treating Fourth Brother’s legs.” She resolved to heal him!
“Thank you.” Gratitude swelled in his eyes.
“I’ll arrange a separate yard for Fourth Brother.”
“You decide.” His voice was soft, as if it was just like in Wushan Village, where he got used to letting go of everything into her hands.
“Fourth Brother, let take you around the Mansion.” She walked behind him, pushing his wheelchair out of the hall, towards the flowering and lush garden.
Xiao Qinghe couldn’t help but recall when they were in Wushan Village, back when the family was building a new house, she was the sa, pushing his wheelchair from the newly-built house back to the old house; he loved those tis spent with her.
Ti and again, he remained imrsed in those monts before they parted.
Often in dreams, he believed they hadn’t separated yet, that joyous event in Wushan Village was not her marrying Third Brother, but her marrying him…
Only upon waking did he realize, so many years had passed.
From the ti he refused her outright back then, she never returned to his side.
Quietly in the courtyard, watching the grasses and wildflowers, the tree branches swaying noisily in the breeze.
Wanting to be alone with her, Third Brother was there beside her, taking her place to push his wheelchair.
Third Brother was the obstacle he could never overco between him and her.
He was the one who personally pushed her towards Third Brother back then.
Xiao Qinghe’s heart was filled with imasurable pain, one million regrets, yet all were in vain.
