In order to satisfy his wife’s curiosity, tonight he indeed sent soone to pay attention to the woman trampled by the horse. That woman was really seriously injured and only woke up two days later. If it weren’t for Mu Chongwu sending soone to get the best doctor and using the best dicines, including a century-old ginseng, she wouldn’t have woken up and would have died silently.
When the woman woke up, the first thing she did after opening her eyes was not to cry out in pain or complain about any discomfort in her body, but to insist on returning to the small courtyard she had rented.
The maid sent by Mu Chongwu to attend to her advised her for a long ti, but she did not agree. The maid, helpless, had to find Mu Caiwei to report this news to him. Upon hearing this, Chongwu said, "Did she say why she insists on going back? Is there any imperative reason to return?"
The maid said, "Yes, this girl said her wet nurse is still waiting for her in the small courtyard. Her wet nurse fell ill, and if she’s not there, no one will take care of her, and the old lady will lose her life."
So that’s the reason!
Knowing the reason, Mu Chongwu murmured, "Fool, she’s almost out of life herself, yet she’s concerned only about others."
Even as he said this, he instructed the servant beside him, "Go to her wet nurse’s courtyard and bring her wet nurse to the dical center for treatnt as well. No matter how much the dical fees are, I will cover all of them. Tell them to focus on recuperating without worrying about money..."
The servant went to carry out the orders. With Mu Chongwu’s instructions, the girl’s wet nurse was quickly moved into the dical center, staying in the sa room with the girl, cared for by the most famous female doctor there. With the two of them together, the girl finally felt at ease, and she felt even more grateful to Chongwu.
One day, when Wanyan Chao entered the palace to attend a feast, Chongwu, having no official position, was not allowed to enter the palace gates and thus took the opportunity to visit the injured woman.
When he arrived, it happened that the woman was sleeping, and her wet nurse was sitting under the large tree in the courtyard, cooling off. Knowing Chongwu’s identity, the wet nurse hurriedly knelt and kowtowed to Chongwu, tearfully saying, "This old servant thanks the young master for repeatedly helping our young lady. If it weren’t for you, our young lady would have long suffered misfortune."
Chongwu, being a courteous and good young man, saw the elderly woman kneel and kowtow to him and gently said, "Please rise, elder. Helping you was a re effort and nothing worth ntioning. However, listening to your accent, it seems like you co from the south. You two won traveling such a long way, why not bring a male relative with you? It’s not safe for two won to travel alone."
The nanny said, "Replying to the young master, this old servant and our young lady know it’s unsafe, but with sudden changes at ho, we had no choice but to co to the Capital to seek help from relatives. Alas, the world’s warmth is cold; our relatives, seeing our decline, not only refused to help but also cheated us out of all our money. With nothing left, this old servant fell ill from worry. Our young lady is kind-hearted and couldn’t bear to leave this old servant to die. She even went to the restaurant to perform arts to earn so money for this old servant to buy dicine..."
At this point, the nanny choked up, sighing, "Pity our young lady, once a proper young lady from a wealthy family, now reduced to performing arts at a restaurant. On top of that, unfortunately, during miserable tis, she was hit by that damn Liaodan person, almost losing her life..."
Chongwu had long noticed that this girl did not seem to be from a small household; upon hearing the nanny’s story, he suddenly realized that she was a downtrodden young lady from a wealthy family. No wonder she had such a serene, elegant, and demure aura!
"May I boldly ask your young lady’s noble family na and where her ancestral ho is?"
