Chapter 423 Ruthless!

t so angry that he vomits blood! At such a time, shouldn't we first bribe the family of the deceased and suppress the matter Why has it gotten to this point!"This is complaining mixed with contempt, l...Those few men instinctively took a few steps back, glanced at each other, and felt some trepidation. Then they spat out a few harsh words.

"Consider yourselves lucky today, someone interfered. But remember this, as long as you bear the surname Su, you can't escape my grasp!"

After saying that, they turned and ran away.

The onlookers all cheered loudly, "Oh, finally they're gone! Those people were so despicable! Finally saved!"

Lao Er also let out a relieved breath, but upon looking down, he quickly called out to the crowd, "Everyone, please help get them to the clinic."

It turned out that the siblings, perhaps feeling safe, had already passed out.

A kindhearted shopkeeper removed a piece of the door, and two passersby helped carry the woman. Li Laoer carried the child on his back, and haphazardly found a medical clinic before rushing in.

The doctor at the clinic was quite dedicated, taking the pulse of the two siblings and applying medicine to bandage them. He was busy and sweating profusely.

Finally, the doctor gave Li La Er a few packets of medicine and powder, "We don't have female doctors here, so it's not good to examine this girl's injuries. Please go back and check her carefully."

Also, this girl has severe internal injuries and needs to take medicine and rest in bed for two months. It's best to see a doctor again in a few days!

Li Lao'er hesitated for a moment, took the medicine bag, and then paid.

The two passersby who helped him up have already left, he just doesn't care.

He thought about it for a moment, then slipped a few coins to the little medicine boy and entrusted him to go and tell the fairy guest.

The little medicine boy was quick, and in just a moment he brought Li Zhensheng over.

Li Zhensheng perhaps didn't understand, thinking his younger brother was hurt, and ran with sweat pouring down his face.

When he saw that it was his younger brother who had saved the two, he let out a long sigh of relief and didn't say much. He quickly helped get the injured siblings onto his family's carriage.

Soon, the carriage left the city and headed towards Suijin Beach.

This isn't a time for questions. Li Zhensheng just tossed out a topic, "Second brother, now that you are also an Earl and will need to attend court occasionally, shouldn't you get yourself a personal attendant or a servant to follow you Otherwise, if something urgent happens, you won't even have someone to run errands."

Li Lao'er also discovered this problem, and replied, "Okay, I'll discuss it with my mother and the village chief. We'll find two reliable boys in the village."

Li Zhensheng shook his head. "I think it's better to borrow one from the Hou Mansion. We are all ordinary farmers in our village and don't understand those etiquette rules. Following you might do more harm than good."

"Borrow one person from the Marquis's mansion, and find two clever half-grown boys from the village. After a few years, the boys will be useful."

Li Lao Er smiled, "Big brother is still the most thoughtful. Lao Si said that the Marquis will be back in a couple of days. I'll ask him then."

As the two talked, they arrived at Suijin Beach. Someone in the valley saw them and ran forward to speak. Li La Er asked a few questions and learned that Dr. Zhang was not there, so he hurried into the village.

A few days ago, Mrs. Cui sent over a dozen soft rabbit skins. The old lady wanted to sew a small jacket for her granddaughter, and was spreading them out on the kang with Grandma He to stitch together a rough draft.

Suiyun and Suiling were picking red adzuki beans, preparing to steam bean paste buns for dinner.

Jia Yin sat under the window, secretly counting her pearls.

These are all that my uncle and older brother brought back from the south. They've been saving up for a year, it seems like quite a lot.

In the twelfth lunar month, Wen Juan's sister-in-law came to visit. She wanted to bring a small gift as a token of appreciation, since people had helped her sew up her torn hand when she was injured and even provided her with a hanging pouch for it.

But she couldn't bear to touch any of the pearls....

Oh, these are all her little babies!

Grandma He listened to the young mistress sighing from time to time, and she couldn't see what the young mistress was busy with, so she looked at the old lady.

The old woman laughed, "Don't mind her, this girl is materialistic, she probably flipped through her good things again."

Everyone started to laugh, just then there was a commotion outside the courtyard gate.

The old woman jumped in fright and got up to go have a look.

Jia Yin also hurriedly packed her things and jumped onto Shui Yun's back.

Shuiling was quick-witted and nimble. She quickly snatched a large robe and wrapped the little mistress tightly in it.

Young and old arrived at the door and were astonished to see two people lying inside the carriage, both badly injured.

"Who is it What happened" The old woman saw blood on her second son's body and hurried forward to pull him over and examine him, "Are you hurt too"

Li Laer replied, "Don't worry, Mother. I'm fine. It was these two who... Well, let's just send them to... to Madam Cui's courtyard first to stay for a while. Then I'll tell you the whole story."

Grandma He was very perceptive and immediately stepped forward to carry the young lady.

Li Zhensheng looked at the child and thought of his own son. He felt sympathy and took the child into Cui's house with his own hands.

The Cui family's courtyard was empty for most of the year. Mrs. Cui had already made arrangements, so when the Li family ran out of place to live, they were welcome to stay there.

Therefore, everyone wasn't polite and settled the siblings in the south room of the west wing.

Shui Ling quickly went to build the fire, and the old woman personally fed the two siblings water. Seeing that the two were only half alive, she couldn't help but sigh.

"What a tragedy! Such a good child, how could he be injured so badly"

At this time, Doctor Zhang was also invited.

Although he was still a bit upset, the moment he saw that his siblings had only suffered from external injuries, his eyes lit up.

The town doctor's medicine and bandages, he ripped them all off again, muttering disdainful remarks the whole time.

"Goodness, such a big wound, and you only applied medicine This needs stitches! Such a quack doctor, a real quack!"

As he spoke, he took out a half-finished potion he had just concocted and applied it to the child's wound. Then he stitched up the two-inch gash on the child's forehead.

Perhaps the medicine's effect was limited, the unconscious child whimpered in pain.

The old woman's heart softened. She grasped his uninjured hand and whispered comfortingly, "Child, don't be afraid. Bear with it. The doctor will treat you, and you'll be fine soon!"

The little boy fell silent for a moment, then whispered two words, “Grandma”

The old woman must have thought of her own grandmother, but she couldn't bear to disappoint the child. After all, the child would suffer if she didn't make it right. So she vaguely said, "Aiya, good child, it will be done soon."

As expected, the child relaxed visibly. A tear rolled down their cheek, but they didn't say another word.

When it came to treating the child's broken leg, Dr. Zhang was truly furious. He scolded, "Who is responsible for this! This leg has been broken for at least two days, how come it wasn't treated If it were any later, the bone would have healed and the leg would be permanently shorter!"

As he spoke, he called out to Lao Er Li and the others, "Help me hold him down so he doesn't move around. This child's leg bone needs to be reset properly. That quack doctor didn't set the bone fragments correctly!"

Everyone rushed forward to help. Sure enough, as soon as Dr. Zhang moved, the child cried out and woke up, struggling desperately.

The old woman quickly hugged his head in her arms, carefully, afraid of touching his wounds. "Child, give your leg bone right away, it will be fine soon, bear with it, just bear with it!"

Fortunately, Dr. Zhang's movements were quick and he thoroughly bandaged the wound. The child was in so much pain that his face turned pale with sweat.

Jia Yin stood a few steps away, covering her eyes and refusing to look. Just from the sound, she felt a sharp pain in her leg bones.fore the gates of the palace even opened, the imperial decree arrived.The one who came to deliver the imperial edict was actually the eunuch supervisor, which surprised both Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng gr...
