Chapter 281: Temporary Peace of Mind, Recuperation and Recovery
In the bedroom.
Jiang Shiyuan watched Aunt Mushao treating her husband's injuries, tears as big as beans falling down her face. Although the child was her backbone, so was her husband. When she thought about how her husband had been seriously injured in the search for the child, while she could only cry in the backyard all day, Jiang Shiyuan felt an indescribable sense of self-blame, so she asked.
"Aunt Mushao, can this sword be drawn?"
"Yes, but it's not easy. It requires a large amount of hemostatic herbs. We don't have those at the moment, so we have to buy them as soon as possible."
"I'll do it!"
After Jiang Shiyuan finished speaking, he walked outside and ordered his men to split into four groups. One group went to the princess's residence, one group went to the Marquis Wenyuan's residence, one group went to the Jiang family, and another group went to the medical clinic in Xijing City to buy medicine.
No matter which side you are on, more is better than less.
In less than half an hour, all the medicinal materials were ready, not only those for stopping bleeding, but also various healing medicines and tonics were all delivered like a sea. Seeing those things, Aunt Mushao picked out a few that could be used, then glanced at Liuhua and said.
"You don't need my orders."
"Master, rest assured, I know what to do!"
Liuhua has been studying medicine with Aunt Mushao for a year. She was already able to concentrate and now she was even more calm. So she cooperated with Aunt Mushao and started to draw the sword for Pei Zisu.
For Pei Zisu, Ma Fei San was rarely used.
After making sure that he had no reaction, Aunt Mu Shao picked up a small knife beside her and pressed the wound quickly and neatly. Then she pinched the broken root and lifted it hard. The sword came out, but blood gushed out of the wound.
Jiang Shiyuan and Wu were so frightened that they almost fainted.
Fortunately, Liuhua was quick to get started. He sprinkled the powder on the wound quickly, then quickly covered it with gauze and pressed it to stop the blood flow.
Aunt Mushao took a look at the blood flowing on the ground and the broken sword, and said with relief.
"It's not poisonous. It's much easier to treat."
After hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan was finally relieved. He watched as the master and disciple bandaged his wounds neatly. When they were about to wipe his body, Jiang Shiyuan stepped forward, took the handkerchief and said.
"I come."
Then she wiped the blood off bit by bit and changed his underwear, allowing him to fall asleep peacefully.
During the whole process, Pei Zisu never opened his eyes.
If it weren't for his uneven breathing, Jiang Shiyuan would have worried that he was dead. He pinched his jaw and fed him medicine. Then Aunt Mushao handed the bottle to Jiang Shiyuan and gave him instructions.
"Feed him every three hours to prevent him from getting a fever. Change the dressing on his wound every day. There's nothing else to do. I estimate he will wake up tomorrow morning, so everyone should rest well and conserve your energy so that you can take better care of him."
Aunt Mu Shao said this exactly for Jiang Shiyuan to hear. Although she was not as seriously injured as Pei Zisu, she had been exhausted recently. Her body, which she had finally recovered in Hanzhou, had been tossed around a lot these days.
So it’s hard to say who is healthier between the couple, they are both about the same.
Now, the children have been found and are safe. Although her husband was injured, he can be cured. All the things that Jiang Shiyuan was worried about have been resolved. She is mentally relaxed and will naturally be able to recover.
"Don't worry, aunt. I will take good care of myself, my husband and the children." Aunt Mu Shao nodded, and then went to see Su Sheng. His injury was nothing compared to Pei Zisu's, but the problem was that he was old and in poor health. If he just took more care of himself, it wouldn't be a big deal.
The same goes for the children. They are too frightened and they just need to be taken care of.
In the following days, there were still stormy weather outside, but Ning'an Garden was peaceful, mainly because everyone was recuperating from their injuries, so the maids and servants who came in and out were much more cautious.
On this day, Pei Zisu had changed the medicine and Jiang Shiyuan was preparing to wash his hair. Now that he was injured, his body could only be wiped, but if his head was not washed, Pei Zisu would not be able to bear it.
So she helped him lie down on the chaise longue, put a chair under it, and then started to wash him little by little with some calming scented lotion.
Jiang Shiyuan's movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid that Pei Zisu would feel pain.
But Pei Zisu was not afraid of even having his chest pierced, so how could he cry out in pain when having his hair combed? So he looked like he was enjoying it, and while washing his hair, he listened to what Jiang Shiyuan said.
"Grandmother and her family wanted to come and see you, but I refused, saying that you had to recover from your injuries and that you would go to see her when you were well. Father and brother also came a few times, but they always came when you were asleep, and they only looked at you through the screen and left. Mother-in-law was a bit busy, as she had to come and see you and take care of Su's cousin. Even the two children were clamoring to come over, but I was afraid that it would affect your rest, so I thought I would send them over in a few days."
Little by little, they were all related to family members, and there was not a single mention of the storm outside.
I don’t know whether Jiang Shiyuan is unaware of the situation or just doesn’t want to say it.
Pei Zisu grabbed her hand and said something with some guilt.
"I'm sorry for making you worry. I originally promised to accompany you when I came to Xijing City, but I ended up getting you and the children involved."
"What nonsense! You and I are husband and wife, and we should share glory and difficulties together. I just didn't expect that the children would be involved."
When she said this, there was some anger in her tone.
Although Pei Zisu didn't say much, she was not stupid and could guess what was going on by connecting all the details together. However, she didn't expect that Marshal Pei would be among the people behind this, and that he would even use the children for Aunt An.
Really, ridiculous!
Feeling her emotional fluctuations, Pei Zisu pulled her hand and then spoke solemnly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely resolve this matter. From now on, no one will be able to threaten you and the children again."
Jiang Shiyuan nodded, she believed it.
Not to mention her husband, even her mother-in-law would eat Marshal Pei!
While the couple was talking, they heard a maid coming in to report something.
"Master, Madam, an old friend is visiting."
"Old friend?"
Who could it be at this time? The couple was a little confused, and when they got everything ready and went to meet him, they found that the person was actually their second cousin Wang Kuan.
Jiang Shiyuan was surprised, but also a little happy.
"Why did my second cousin return to Beijing? Aren't you still repairing the canal?"
"How can we spend our whole lives repairing canals? Now we are repairing water diversion channels, but I am afraid it will take three to five years to complete. Let's take our time. This time I came to the capital because I have political affairs to report and I heard about the children's situation, so I came to see if there is anything I can do to help."
