“What’s wrong?”
Xu asked, puzzled, when she saw her stop in her tracks.
“Nothing.”
Song Wangyue withdrew her gaze and proceeded to walk outside.
When they got outside, they and Xu got into the carriage and went back to the mansion.
There were guards waiting, and when they saw her, they bowed, “Miss Song ……”
Before he finished his words, he sensed that something was wrong with her, and was about to ask if her wound had split open, when he saw Song Wan Yue giving him a wink, he swallowed his words back.
“I’ll go over later.”
Song Wangyue’s voice was as normal.
The guards responded.
Song Wan Yue and Xu returned to the house and sat down on a chair, smiling curtly at Xu, “Mother, my wound seems to have cracked.”
Xu’s face turned pale and she busily untied her cloak, seeing the blood coming through the thick clothes and reddening her eyes. She was the one who had been careless; Lao-san’s hand was so strong that he must have torn Yue’er’s wound.
“I, I’ll go get ……”
Xu’s words were incoherent.
“I have it in my bag.”
Xu panicked and went looking for the bundle, finding it and bringing it over to the table to untie it.
Song Wan Yue had already untied her clothes and saw the thick gauze, Xu held back her tears to untie it, when she saw the wound, she could no longer hold back her tears, her shoulder was pierced, this was not a small wound.
Song Wan Yue was helpless, she knew that Xu would definitely cry when she saw it, that’s why she hid the injury.
“First, pour the golden sore medicine from the white porcelain bottle.”
Xu wiped her tears, picked up the porcelain bottle and opened the stopper, shaking her hand and poured it on the wound, the bleeding stopped, she went to fetch hot water again, took a soft cloth and wiped the blood around the wound, poured the golden sore medicine once more uneasily, took gauze and wrapped it carefully before she dared to let her tears fall down.
“Mother, I’m really fine, those guards were much more seriously injured than I was.”
“How can you compare with them, they are people who have been practicing martial arts for years, their bodies are strong and they are men, you ……”
Xu couldn’t go on, tears bursting from her eyes.
If she knew Yue’er was so badly injured, she, she ……
She couldn’t keep Yue’er from saving Qi Ying.
“I blame Third Uncle, if he hadn’t yanked me, the wound wouldn’t have cracked, wait, when Sister Qi Ying is okay, let’s see how I’ll settle the score with him.”
Song Wan Yue tried to change the subject, but Xu was not so easily fooled, and her tears kept falling.
Song Wangyue didn’t know how to comfort her.
“The child’s mother, Yue’er ……”
Song Lin’s voice came, after he parked the carriage to the back yard, he went to give a word to Master Song again before coming over, pushing open the door, he was shocked to see Xu dropping her tears again, “What’s wrong, Lao San’s daughter-in-law can’t make it?”
Fearing that Xu would say that she was badly injured, Song Wan Yue replied, “It’s because I was pulled by Third Uncle on my arm just now and the wound opened up, Mother was distressed.”
“Lao-san pulled your arm?”
Song Lin glared.
“Third Uncle is also in a hurry.”
“It’s not okay to be in a hurry. ……”
As he said that, he only saw the bloodied gauze that had been replaced on the table, and immediately felt a little black in front of his eyes, the gauze was stained red, how much blood did Yue’er have to have left?
“How do you feel now? No, so much blood, something must be wrong, I, I, I’ll go get the doctor ……”
Before she finished her words, she drew her legs and was about to run outside, but Song Wan Yue was quick to stop her, “I’m fine, mother has already bandaged me up.”
Song Lin was not willing to believe her words.
Seeing that she couldn’t stop her, Song Wangyue hurriedly added, “Ask my mother if you don’t believe me.”
After saying this, she gave Xu, who was still shedding tears, a wink.
Xu opened her mouth and wiped her eyes before she spoke, “It’s not a big deal, I’ve already bandaged it up, there’s no need to call a doctor.”
Yue’er was injured on her shoulder, so if she asked a doctor to come over, after all, she would have to let him look at the wound.
Song Lin believed her words, so he didn’t insist any further, but took the blood-stained gauze in his hand and said with a huff, “When Qi Ying is fine, let’s see how I’ll clean up Lao San.”
It was a quarter of an hour before Song Lin and Xu both left, and Song Wan Yue let out a long breath and drank another cup of hot water before going to the courtyard where the guards lived.
It was almost dark, but the guards were all standing neatly in the courtyard, and when they saw her coming, they all shouted for Miss Song.
Without waiting for them to speak, Song Wangyue said, “I know you want to go back, but there are still two days left before the New Year, it’s freezing cold and the injuries you have are not suitable for such a rush, so stay for the New Year and leave afterwards.”
“This ……”
“Don’t worry, when you leave I will write a letter to Uncle Xiao to inform him of the reason, he will not chastise you. Besides, it’s almost New Year’s Eve and the workshop is on holiday, so it’s a good time for you to go over and help look after the workshop and talk to those brothers of yours.”
“Then, thank you, Miss Song.”
The ten guards thanked each other in unison, and Song Wangyue waved her hand, thinking that Grandma Song was over there guarding Qi Ying, and Xu was in a bad mood, so she simply pointed out the restaurant to one of the guards who was not injured, and told him to ask for two tables of food.
The guard answered and went away.
Two quarters of an hour later, Boss Jin personally brought over two tables of food, and when he saw Song Wan Yue, his first words were, “Miss, we’ve made a fortune.”
The hot pot upstairs was turning over tables every day, and the barbecue buffet in the lobby was like a free meal, with many people waiting in line at the door every day.
Seeing that he was in high spirits and seemed to have lost a lot of years in age, Song Wangyue also smiled and her eyebrows were stretched, “Then let’s stay open until the 30th of the New Year, and open on the 10th of the first month after the New Year.
Five taels of silver is almost half a year’s wages for a staff member, so Boss Jin is naturally happy for them, “I’ll thank you for them.”
“It’s all because of you, if it wasn’t for you, the restaurant wouldn’t have been so hot, by rights you should have been allowed to go back to the capital for the New Year, but now ……”
“No hindrance, no hindrance ……”
The owner of the restaurant, Jin, did not care at all, he could earn a lot of silver for the owner, not to mention not going back to the capital for the New Year, he would be happy not to go back to the capital in the future.
“Then it’s hard work for you.”
He waved his hand repeatedly and said a few more words, before he left with a smile on his face.
After eating and resting for a while, Song Lin set up a carriage and sent Song Wan Yue and Xu over, telling Xu repeatedly on the way, “Keep an eye on Lao San, if he dares to pull Yue’s arm again, don’t be polite.”
Song Wan Yue laughed as she listened.
When the carriage stopped in front of the mansion, Song Wan Yue and Xu got down and saw a red lantern hanging on each side of the entrance, swaying back and forth with the cold wind, very festive and conspicuous.
Song Wan Yue looked at them for a few more moments and walked in with Xu.
The house was already lit up, Qi Ying was not yet awake, Song San Xiao was sitting in front of the bed, watching over her, and Grandma Song was cooking in the kitchen.
