She had a slight fracture in her foot bone and Yan Su cast it with a small plaster.

As for the ointment, he raised his eyebrows and winked, saying he was scared to apply it for her, lest he die in the wilderness tonight.

Ye Lu felt embarrassed, how could this man be so sarcastic? Always joking about her and Third Young Master Jun. Surprisingly, Third Young Master Jun allowed him to carry on blustering. What on earth was the relationship between these two men? From what she could tell, they seemed to be on pretty good terms.

"Find a maid to help me apply it." Ye Lu really feared that Third Young Master Jun would personally intervene again, she wouldn’t be able to handle such a blessing.

The last time he applied the medicine for her, it felt like agony.

"Do you think I would allow someone else to do this kind of thing?"

Ye Lu was exasperated, "What’s the problem with someone else helping me apply ointment to my wound?"

"Third Young Master personally attends to you, and you still have complaints?" Third Young Master Jun’s voice had a hint of danger, filled with anger.

"...No." She shrank her neck and was forced to obey. She was speechless at his tyrannical behavior. After all, this brutish man was wilful and not open to resistance.

"Take a bath first, or the wound will become infected."

He lifted her up and walked straight to the bathroom.

"For this, I’m definitely capable of doing it myself." Shaking her little head, Ye Lu immediately said there was no need to bother him.

"So, you plan to hop in? Don’t waste any more words. With a fractured foot, you’d be better off out of the window, and save us all the hassle!" Third Young Master Jun impatiently carried her into the bathroom.

He lifted her injured leg and placed it on the edge of the bathtub.

Ye Lu widened her eyes, she had a fracture, not an amputation, could he please stop treating her like an invalid.

Third Young Master Jun sat in front of the washbasin, crossed his arms, and kept staring at her. She was very uncomfortable and could only glare back at him: "Aren’t you going out?"

"No. To prevent you from falling into the water and drowning."

"Am I that stupid?"

Ye Lu clenched her teeth, she had a fracture, not water on the brain. Who could be so stupid as to drown in a bathtub? This big person, the water only reaches the navel, who would drown in a bathtub? Idiot! What exactly did this man think her to be? Did he genuinely think she was as stupid as a pig?

"If you aren’t stupid, how could you end up like this? You’re a pig. No, pigs are better than you - at least they run when they are in danger, you put yourself in harm’s way by being stupid." His sarcastic tone suggested severe disappointment.

Isn’t this woman usually sharp-tongued, always resisting him?

How could she have ended up like this when she met others? Seeing the injuries on her body made him furious, dare to treat her so cruelly.

"You..." Ye Lu was mad enough to twist her face, this rude and crude man even launched a personal attack on her. He was the pig, his whole family were pigs, "Good women don’t argue with men, I won’t talk to you, to avoid getting angry to death!"

She couldn’t be bothered to care about him; this man must have taken the wrong medicine tonight, acting so strangely.

After her quickly taken bath, he carried her out and lay her on the sofa again, completely ignoring her protest, and began applying a pile of ointment to her arms and feet.

Ye Lu could only quietly let him apply the ointment to her wound.

The heat from the tip of his fingers went up her foot. His technique was pretty gentle as he applied the ointment all over her wounds.

But what followed was rough.

"Ah ... it hurts... what are you doing?" She could feel a burning pain on her knee. This uncouth man was definitely taking vengeance.

Third Young Master Jun rubbed his palms until they were warm, then he started massaging the bruise vigorously.

"Foolish woman, it’s a bruise. If you don’t massage it well to dissipate the accumulated blood, how will it get better? Bear with the pain, this way, it will recover faster."

Ye Lu was speechless for the moment, she was surprised by his detail-oriented care.

Every bruised place was massaged by him. Though it was incredibly painful, actually, after the massage, she could feel an invigorating sensation as if the clotted blood had dissipated.

After spending more than an hour massaging all her injuries, he covered her with a soft silk quilt.

"Go to sleep."
