Chapter 1388: Chapter 1388: ng Yunzheng Applies dicine
Shu Yu was taken aback, suddenly turning her head, looking at him with surprise, “Yun!”
ng Yunzheng sighed in relief, looking at her weary and haggard face, feeling sowhat helpless and distressed, “Luckily, I arrived in ti; otherwise, you would have gotten hurt badly. Even if you’re in a hurry, you should have co by carriage.”
“I was afraid I wouldn’t make it.” Shu Yu’s hands and feet trembled slightly, “Is my master still here?”
“Yes.” ng Yunzheng carried her into the courtyard, calling back to Xia Yan, “You help Ying Xi.”
It was clear neither of them could walk anymore.
Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief; as long as her master was still here, she felt at ease snuggling in ng Yunzheng’s arms as he carried her into the courtyard.
The gate opened, and Shu Yu realized there was soone inside.
An elderly woman was washing clothes in the courtyard. Seeing them, she hurriedly stood up, “Young Master ng.”
ng Yunzheng nodded slightly, carrying Shu Yu further into the house, while the woman curiously observed their backs.
They entered the room, and ng Yunzheng poured her a cup of water, feeding her to drink. Then he went outside and fetched a basin of hot water, using it to wipe her face.
Shu Yu didn’t have to move at all, as her palms were blistered, and her arms were trembling.
Looking at her swollen and blistered palms, ng Yunzheng furrowed his brow tightly, sowhat regretting sending that letter.
“Were you really that anxious?” He seed angry, not knowing whether he was upset with himself or with her.
Shu Yu pursed her lips; she found it hard to explain her many doubts that needed answers.
For instance, she wanted to know whether her master knew she had traveled through ti, whether he knew about Shu Yu’s matters, why he didn’t directly tell her about her past. These questions had lingered in her mind for a long, long ti, always a source of inner turmoil.
So this ti, upon learning her master’s whereabouts, she had rushed over urgently, but she couldn’t explain it clearly to ng Yunzheng.
“Sorry, it won’t happen next ti.”
ng Yunzheng looked up at her exhausted appearance and, in the end, didn’t say anything further.
He retrieved so ointnt, carefully applying it to her wounds. Shu Yu recoiled slightly, and ng Yunzheng glanced at her.
She forced a smile, “It hurts.”
ng Yunzheng blew on her wounds, speaking to divert her attention, “Once your hands are treated, I’ll have Aunt He apply dicine to your legs. What do you feel like eating tonight? I’ll cook for you later.”
Since her hands were already in such a state, her thighs were naturally worse off. But given they weren’t married yet, it wasn’t proper.
Aunt He?
Shu Yu turned her head, “Is that the woman in the courtyard?”
“Yes.” ng Yunzheng nodded, his actions exceedingly gentle. “Aunt He lives in the house in the alley ahead. After I rented this courtyard, I hired her to do so work here.”
Although ng Yunzheng had Xia Yan as an assistant, Xia Yan’s cooking skills were truly subpar.
Furthermore, he was busy, running errands to buy things and gathering news, scarcely ho.
ng Yunzheng thus hired Aunt He to help during the day with laundry and cooking, letting her return ho to rest at night.
Aunt He was honest and straightforward, not speaking much, not touching what she shouldn’t. Over these months, they got along quite well.
Shu Yu nodded, then inquired about her master’s whereabouts.
“In the Zhong Family Village, thirty miles outside the city.” ng Yunzheng finished applying dicine and stood up to call Aunt He.
Aunt He arrived quickly; Shu Yu originally wanted to ask more about her master but seeing this closed her mouth temporarily.
Forget it, applying the dicine was urgent.
