Nanny Wang took her leave as ordered, leaving only Mrs. Liu wailing on the ground. She never expected that Cheng Xiran would have the audacity to do this!
On this side, Cheng Xiran managed to help Zhuque back to her own room. On the way, Zhuque regained consciousness and struggled to walk on her own. Cheng Xiran wrestled with her, and the two almost fell. Fortunately, they met Yun'er on the way.
"Miss, what happened back there? It seems that the steward also went to the back yard through another door."
Yun'er was still in a daze, and Cheng Xiran didn't want to explain it to her. She just ordered weakly, "Come quickly and help me support Zhuque. Let's go back to the room first. Then you go and invite the doctor, and then go to the newspaper office. Tell the shopkeeper that if I don't go to the newspaper office within two hours, ask him to find an excuse to come and look for me!"
Yun'er half - understood and went to the other side to support Zhuque. It wasn't until they helped her lie on the couch that Yun'er was shocked into silence by the terrifying wounds on her body. For a moment, she even forgot what she was supposed to do.
It wasn't until Cheng Xiran, who had brought in clean water from outside, reminded her that she rushed out in a hurry.
Seeing Zhuque's forehead constantly sweating, Cheng Xiran's heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife. But she could only slowly wipe the wounds on Zhuque's body, cleaning them up first so that the doctor could make a better diagnosis when he came.
She didn't care what would happen next. At the moment, there was only one thing on her mind, which was to save Zhuque.
After about a quarter of an hour, Nanny Jin from the old lady's room came, bringing some excellent golden wound ointment. Seeing her looking hesitant to speak, Cheng Xiran said helplessly, "Nanny Jin, I know what you want to say. I'll handle this matter myself. Grandmother is not feeling well. She probably can't bear to hear these things. If we can keep it from her, we should."
Nanny Jin sighed deeply and said, "Miss, why do you have to compete with that Mrs. Liu? Right now, she's just looking for a chance to pick on you. Aren't you just walking into her trap?"
Just as she was speaking, there came a rush of footsteps from outside. It was Yun'er bringing the doctor.
"Doctor, please go in quickly and take a look at Zhuque!"
Cheng Xiran invited him in. Yun'er was so tired that she drank a whole cup of cold tea in one go. Then, as if remembering something, she ran to Cheng Xiran's side and whispered to remind her, "Miss, Nanny Jin has gone to invite the prime minister. What should we do now?"
"Have you done everything I told you to do?" Cheng Xiran asked calmly.
Seeing Yun'er nod, she felt a little relieved.
"The wounds are a bit serious, but fortunately, the bones and tendons are not injured. It's just some flesh wounds. For the next half - month, apply the medicine twice a day and rest for a while, and she'll recover. There's no major problem."
After the doctor wrote out the prescription, Cheng Xiran finally let out a long sigh of relief. "Yun'er, see the doctor out properly and then go to get the medicine according to his prescription. I'll take care of applying the medicine to Zhuque."
Nanny Jin watched for a while and finally spoke up to persuade, "Although Mrs. Liu is a concubine and has never been promoted to the main wife all these years, how could the prime minister not want to do so? It's just that he is concerned about his reputation and doesn't want to be gossiped about."
"To be honest, in this prime minister's mansion, Mrs. Liu's power has already exceeded that of the old lady."
Cheng Xiran ignored her and only had Zhuque on her mind.
Actually, she knew all the ins and outs of this matter. But as long as she grasped the fact that Prime Minister Cheng cared about his reputation, she could muddle through this matter. That's why she didn't ask Helian Duo for help. She thought she could handle it on her own.
Even though there was still a tiny bit of fear in her heart.
