Chapter 40

Servants served them busily and sent the two girls back to the hut. Because the hut was really so simple that there was no place to lie on in the main hall and the study, they couldn't care about the significance of this place and opened the bedroom directly. Although no one was living here and the bedding was put away, a couch was very wide. Now it was at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, so after being tidied up, it was enough for Wei Changying to lie on.

After sending Wei Changfeng out, the maidservants untied their clothes and skirts to check their injuries. At the moment that Wei Changying's back was shown, all the maidservants took a cold breath. A granny, who stood close to her and acted as an a.s.sistant, even cried out!

“How is the injury?” Wei Changying just thought that she had hit a stone on the ground when she fell. Her waist was in great pain. However, she suffered a lot when she was learning martial arts. Although she couldn't use her strength and could hardly speak for a while because of the injury, she didn't really think it was a big deal. Now, seeing their responses, she couldn't help being surprised and asking hurriedly.

Lvfang painfully looked at her waist with regret, and then said difficultly, “Miss Wei, it's all black and blue on your waist. Even on your back…”

“I felt that I had hit something when I fell down.” Wei Changying was a martial artist after all. When she was a beginner in martial arts, it was inevitable that she would get bruises after a day of practicing. She was relieved to hear the words. Because now she lay down and didn't have to spend energy standing up. She looked sideways and spoke more fluently, “Is it just a bruise? Is the wound broken?”

Lvfang bit her lips and said, “The wound is not broken. But the bruise….”

Because she had been practicing martial arts over the years, Wei Changying's skin was not as delicate as that of an ordinary young lady but more flexible. However, with a comfortable life and a young age, she had clean and white skin. Now the clothes and skirts were spread out, and only her back was exposed. Although she was in a shabby room, her skin also radiated the unique brilliance of youth, which even the beauty of jade could not be compared with.

As a result, the color of the bruise on her waist was more shocking.

“It doesn't matter. It will be fine if I wipe it with medicinal liquor later.” Wei Changying heard that Lvfang only mentioned the bruise, but she wiped the sweat from her brow. Just then, although the bamboo thicket had a gentle slope, it was inclined after all. She wanted to help Song Zaishui in a hurry and jumped down without seeing the terrain clearly. If she had been unlucky, there would have been sharp bamboo branches in the place where she fell, which the thin summer clothes she was wearing couldn't resist. Although she fell with her back down and she was not worried about her face, but it would not be beautiful to have a scar on her back.

Now it was just bruised. For her, it was just something about going back and lying down for two days. As soon as she was relieved, she immediately remembered Song Zaishui. She looked down from the couch and said, “How are you, Zaishui? Did you get hurt?”

Before, when they were on the top of the mountain, Wei Changfeng scolded Chunjing. But on the way to send these two people down, Wei Changfeng totally ignored Song Zaishui. It was not because he was young and couldn't consider the whole situation when an accident happened. After all, there were enough attendants around them. Firstly, Wei Changying was his lineal sister, and Song Zaishui was just his cousin. Generally, Wei Changfeng respected the two people equally. When they met an accident, the difference in the relations.h.i.+p would be shown. Secondly, Wei Changfeng heard that Wei Changying ordered Chunjing and Xiajing to stop Song Zaishui from entering the thicket and then got injured when saving Song Zaishui. Although he was young, he was talented. How couldn't he figure it out? It was suspicious that Song Zaishui suddenly fell in the thicket.

Initially, if her cousin only fell down on purpose, Wei Changfeng would not blame her like this. But Song Zaishui fell down on purpose and got Wei Changying injured. Wei Changfeng was very upset about his sister's injury, so he got angry. He was young and dignified, so he was not afraid of Song Zaishui's future ident.i.ty. In his anger, he was clearly giving his cousin a black look.

Because he did so, Lvfang and others worried about their young lady. Although they could not act as obviously as Wei Changfeng, they ignored Song Zaishui more or less. Before, these two girls were sent in together to check the injuries. Lvfang and others seized the wide couch first and only left Song Zaishui and her servants with the recliner by the window. At that time, Lvfang and the granny were shocked, not only because they worried about Wei Changying, but also intending to show Song Zaishui.

Now Wei Changying asked Song Zaishui herself. Although Lvfang and others were silent, there was anger in their eyes. Their young lady got injured for saving Song Zaishui, and she couldn't even get up. But Song Zaishui didn't ask about her till then. She kept quiet after being helped to the recliner by Chunjing.

She was so heartless….

Song Zaishui was a sensitive girl. She felt the anger of Wei Changfeng and the servants of the Wei Family, but she didn't explain. In a low voice, she said, “I'm fine.”

Her maidservant Chunjing wanted to say something but was immediately stopped by Song Zaishui's cold eyes.

Wei Changying was lying on the couch, so she didn't notice this scene. Hearing this, she felt relieved and said, “That's good.” After feeling relieved, she groaned and urged, “Where is the doctor? Where is the medicinal liquor? Nothing there? What is Changfeng doing! Send someone to ask!”

Lvfang knew that the young lady was fond of tossing people when she had nothing to worry about. She hurriedly pacified her for Wei Changfeng and said softly, “The fifth young master has ordered young master Wei Qing to ride his horse back to the city and call a doctor. Miss Wei, please bear the pain for a moment!”

“Alas… If there is no doctor or medicinal liquor, won't you heat water and rub my back with hot pads?!” When Wei Changying was a kid, she was used to getting bruised, so she had been experienced in dealing with it for a long time. However, after the first few years of practicing, Wei Changying seldom got bruised after practicing martial arts, so Lvfang and others forgot all these simple ways of relieving pain. It wasn't they who got hurt in the past.

Being reminded by Wei Changying, they all blushed. Lvfang bowed quickly, “I'm negligent! I'll do it now!”

Wei Changying said, “Today we haven't had lunch yet. Can the stove here work?”

Another two older women reached out their hands and wiped on their skirts. They hurriedly saluted, “We'll go and have a look.”

There were only a few people left after she said. Wei Changying bit her sleeve hard, but she didn't know who to toss next. Suddenly, Song Zaishui said in a soft voice, “Slow down and ask someone to wring a hot pad to rub it first. You can't see it on your back. I think it is bad. I don't know whether it's just skin injury or bone….” At this point, she paused for a moment. Her voice lightened a little and said, “It's better to endure it until the doctor comes to see it.”

Wei Changying spat out her sleeve and said in a mournful voice, “I don't think it's so miserable, is it? Bones… My bones must be very hard.”

“Wait until the doctor comes.” Maybe Song Zaishui was in a bad mood. She said it slightly.

Wei Changying thought that her cousin was depressed today. She stopped Song Zaishui, but got involved and injured. Maybe Song Zaishui couldn't get off the embarra.s.sing situation now. So Wei Changying didn't go against her as usual. Instead, she said obediently, “OK.”

The two sisters were speechless for a while, so the room fell quiet.

The lineal daughter of the clan of the Wei Family and the future Crown Princess, who was a guest of the Wei Family, were injured on Little Bamboo Hill. This was a big event. Wei Qing returned to the city on the horse. Within an hour, he brought two doctors back.

However, when the doctors went up the mountain and arrived outside the hut, the anxious Wei Changfeng didn't have time to cheer up, but he had a headache again. The position of Wei Changying's injury was not suitable for others to see, but these two doctors were all men!

After tossing for such a long time, Wei Changying couldn't stand it. She bit the handkerchief and ordered the maidservant to press the bones on her back and waist to make sure they were all good. Miss Wei confirmed that it was only flesh injury and only needed to dissipate the blood stasis. The two vexed doctors were relieved and wiped the cold sweat. According to the situation described by her, they put down the prescription for dissipating the blood stasis and told them what to pay attention to. Since it was confirmed that it was just blood stasis, Wei Changying was experienced and didn't care what the doctor said.

However, as what she said to Song Zaishui before, although the bone was not injured, she'd better not move now and had to live on Little Bamboo Hill for two or three days before she could go back to the mansion.

In this way, not only did they need more people to serve, but the firewood, rice, vegetables, bedding and clothes should also be taken here to make Wei Changying's life here comfortable.

For the result that Wei Changying only got a flesh wound and there was no danger of breaking her face, the servants were already very thankful. It was a small matter for them to toss for two or three days.

Wei Changfeng repeatedly confirmed with the doctors that his elder sister was fine. Although the doctors Wei Qing hurriedly invited were well known in Fengzhou, how could they tell about the new injury only by checking the pulse outside the bed-curtain? It was Miss Wei who said that the bones were good. The doctors dare not let Wei Changfeng confirm with Wei Changying, but they were afraid of taking responsibility. They had to use some advanced terms from the medical books to answer. But Wei Changfeng happened to have dabbled in the medical books and asked more deep questions.

The two doctors thought very hard to deal with his questions, almost sweating. They thought they could leave. Unexpectedly, Wei Changfeng wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, “My cousin also fell down at the same time. I don't know whether she was frightened. Please have a look at her.”

These two doctors were both born and bred in Fengzhou. Although they were not people of the Wei Family, they had heard about the future Crown Princess, who was a guest of the Wei Family and was n.o.bler than the First Miss of the Wei Family, so they agreed carefully.

Wei Changfeng thought Song Zaishui was OK. After all, when she fell down, it was Wei Changying who supported her. At most, she was frightened and needed the spirit-quieting decoction. He asked the doctor to diagnose Song Zaishui because he simply didn't want to lose the face of the Song Family. She was his cousin, after all. Although he was annoyed that Song Zaishui implicated Wei Changying, since Wei Changying only got a flesh wound, he didn't need to treat her as an enemy.

Asking the doctor to diagnose now, he also had the purpose to apologize for neglecting her before and compensate her.

Unexpectedly, when the doctor came in and just asked Song Zaishui to stretch her wrist out of the curtain to feel her pulse. Inside the curtain, Chunjing cried, “Miss Song's arm is dislocated!”

Wei Changfeng was surprised. Inside the curtain, Wei Changying was also surprised, “When was it dislocated? Why didn't you tell me?”

Chunjing said, “Just…” Then the weak but cold voice of Song Zaishui came out, interrupting her. She said lightly, “Just now I was scared, I also didn't know when it was dislocated. Before, my body was numb. I just felt it now. If Chunjing didn't remind me that my arm hung weirdly, I wouldn't realize it.”

She said so, but how could the pain of dislocation not be felt in an hour or two? Song Zaishui must feel guilty for her cousin so she just bore the pain and didn't mention it. Such pain might not be a big problem for Wei Changying. But for Song Zaishui, a weak real lady, who would pant after climbing a 30-feel-high mountain… This perseverance even moved Wei Changfeng, who was dissatisfied with her before. He groaned, “Let's not talk about this first. Connect the arms for my cousin quickly!”

Song Zaishui's arm was not just dislocated. Her left knee just hit a piece of gravel when she fell down. Fortunately, it wasn't broken, but she also got a large bruise, so that she couldn't exert herself when she came down from the top of the mountain. She was supported all the way by the maidservants. But Chunjing and Xiajing were just pressed by her and dare not say it.

Seeing that her injury was not lighter than that of Wei Changfeng, Wei Changfeng was upset and worried. He told the older one of the doctors to connect the arm of Song Zaishui and prescribe another medicine to dissipate blood stasis. After feeling the pulse, the doctor confirmed that Song Zaishui didn't have other injury except these two injuries. After all was done, Wei Changfeng's handkerchief in his hand was also wet. When he was about to speak, he heard sounds of voices and commotion outside. Unexpectedly, Madam Song brought people here personally!
