Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 333 - 325: Only After Ruan Mian Finished Treating the Wound Did He Compose Himself and Express Genuine Thanks
"Sister Mianmian, where did you come from..."
Before he finished speaking, Ruan Mian had already untied the bandage, suddenly pulling open his shirt, revealing a large patch of skin near his collarbone.
Yun Xiu was instantly stunned, a flush of red quickly spreading across his face.
He instinctively wanted to pull his clothes back together, but at that moment, Ruan Mian was already using spiritual spring water to clean his wounds, preventing him from moving.
She didn’t notice his flushed face, assuming it was due to the pain.
"Just bear with it; once I apply the hemostatic powder, it will be much better."
Yun Xiu looked at her serious face and immediately averted his gaze, only letting out a muffled grunt from the occasional pain.
It wasn’t until Ruan Mian finished treating the wound that he managed to compose himself and sincerely thanked her.
Ruan Mian smiled slightly, nonchalantly saying, "Why are you being so polite with me? Do we need to stand on such ceremony between us?"
Yun Xiu lowered his gaze, smiling lightly, "Of course, I must thank you. Not only for this, but for everything else as well."
"Alright, if you want to thank me, just make me something delicious when we return. I used up quite a bit of energy just now, and now I feel hungry."
Hearing this, Yun Xiu quickly stood up, not daring to delay, and hurried back to the house with Ruan Mian as fast as they could.
However, he was quite perplexed about the ruffians from earlier today.
"Were those people sent by Miss Wen? But I noticed they only targeted you, Sister Mianmian, and did nothing to Lord Lin. Besides, their moves were all consistent; they must be a well-trained group of thugs, not just some random hired hands. If we don’t catch Miss Wen, there could be future trouble."
Ruan Mian was unhurried: "It’s okay, when soldiers come, we’ll deal with it as needed." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Wen Qiang pinning her hopes on an old woman only shows that she doesn’t possess much cunning. Dealing with her should not be difficult, but her ability to employ such well-trained individuals to silence others suggests support from Qin Fu.
Qin Fu is Wen Yuan’s backup; although Ruan Mian doesn’t yet know his exact position among the Princess’s faction, it’s certain that he holds a significant status.
Especially noting from the correspondence between Wen Yuan and him, Qin Fu is also a villainous person who uses unscrupulous means for amassing wealth.
Since Wen Qiang has connected with him and came to Wuheng to silence people, could she be using their resources for assassinations?
Thinking of this, she patted Yun Xiu on the shoulder: "Let’s head back first."
She was indeed hungry, but exhaustion was also a truth.
Constantly on the move, all she wanted was to rest for a while, but after returning to the house, she remembered Yun Xiu had to change his medicine tonight, so she prepared the medicine for him in advance on the stove, asking Cui Zhu to help boil it, worried that she might fall asleep and neglect it.
After arranging these, she prepared to rest, but after taking two steps, Ruan Mian suddenly felt all her blood rushing in reverse, her vision darkening, unable to steady herself!
Before she could speak, only Cui Zhu’s frightened voice remained in her ears.
"Miss!! Miss!!"
Cui Zhu was shocked, quickly running over to support her, but by then Ruan Mian had lost consciousness, unresponsive to any of her shouts.
Now panicking, Cui Zhu hurriedly called over Wanshu and the others, together moving Ruan Mian to the bed and then went to get Mr. Ruan to diagnose his daughter.
By the time Ruan Mian awoke, it was already the next day.
Recollecting the scene before she fainted, she tried to sit up, only to feel a wave of dizziness. Beside her, a familiar voice immediately sounded.
"Sister Mianmian!"
Yun Xiu quickly got up and stepped forward to hold her down: "Your body isn’t well yet, go back to sleep, Mr. Ruan instructed that you must not get out of bed for the next few days, you need to rest properly."
Ruan Mian felt her own pulse, shaking her head, "It’s fine, just overexertion, no need to worry."
But Yun Xiu insisted on not letting her get up, ultimately forcing her back into bed, covering her snugly with the quilt.
Ruan Mian was taken aback, unable to help but laugh, "Are you turning me into a cocoon?"
Yun Xiu sat by the bed seriously, "You always think of others, instructing them to rest well when they’re sick. When I caught a common cold, you took meticulous care of me, as you do with others. But what about yourself? Have you ever considered your own well-being?"
"You’ve exhausted yourself, claiming it’s fine, but neglecting your own health. If...If our elder in heaven knew, how could they rest easy? How could I explain it to them?"
Ruan Mian was somewhat stunned, as it was rare to see Yun Xiu so seriously.
His words truly came from the heart.
A wave of warmth surged in her heart, and she had to confess, it was her fault for making those around her worried.
Thus, she gave up resisting and laid down obediently: "Since you say so, I’ll rest well for a few days, but I’ll need help with my care, I..."
"No need to trouble others, I’m enough, I’ll go bring your medicine."
Before Ruan Mian could speak, he had already run out of the room.
She opened her mouth, watching Yun Xiu’s back, and couldn’t help but recall the scene of rescuing him from the Beast Fighting Arena.
Back then, he was so small and frail, narrowly escaping death from the beasts.
Without her noticing, Yun Xiu had grown so much.
From this back view, the once little boy had unknowingly begun to blend in with the ranks of men.
When he remained by Ah Huai’s side, he learned a lot, and his skills had since improved greatly, she hoped he could continue to grow and develop well.
Ruan Mian suddenly realized that she was developing a parental instinct, helplessly shaking her head, almost forgetting she was a time traveler.
As she found herself gradually integrating into this life, she had no regrets or laments.
Yet, while she was lost in her reflections, far away in another town, Qin Fu’s dispatched men had already sent reports of the incidents at Wuheng.
Qin Fu, reading the content of the letter, found it incredulous, slowly raising his head to meet the gaze of the small official beside him, commenting.
"I never expected Wuheng to change so significantly, all because of a young woman, Old He, did you ever think that just one woman could..."
He hesitated, handing the letter to the small official next to him.
The official known as Old He took the letter, equally shocked: "It seems what those people previously said about firearms might actually be true."
"Mr. Qin, if that woman indeed has such remarkable skills and can create such powerful weapons, we better be on guard."
"Furthermore, Miss Wen also said before that this woman is not ordinary, ruthless and cunning, Mr. Wen likely fell victim to her schemes, so we..."
