Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Saving Wei Jinyi_l

“Yes, yes, yes.” Xiaobei rushed to do it.

He exposed Wei Jinyi’s chest by flipping open the blanket covering him and unbuttoning his upper clothes.

Contrary to Wei Ruo’s expectation, Wei Jinyi wasn’t as frail as he appeared to be. Instead, his muscle blocks were firm without excessive bulkiness – forceful but not overly muscular.

At this moment, Xiumei came back with Wei Ruo’s “emergency medical kit”.

“Take out a single tablet from the bottle with the red label, mix it with a bowl of water, stir well and feed it to him.” Wei Ruo continued to instruct.

Having spent many years by Wei Ruo’s side, Xiumei was adept at assisting her. Quickly, she dissolved the pill and handed it over to Xiaobei.

“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and feed it to your young master!” Xiumei urged Xiaobei as she saw him stalling.

“Where…where did Miss get this medicine?” Xiaobei asked.

“You don’t need to worry about that. Merely knowing that it can save your young master is enough! Do you think our Miss will harm your young master? Is it necessary to bother about harming him when his condition is already this bad?”

“Alright…alright…”

Unable to think beyond this, Xiaobei moved to the bedside with the bowl of medicine.

Carefully, he fed the medicine to Wei Jinyi using a spoon.

Wei Ruo soaked a towel in cold water, wringed it dry, and then wiped Wei Jinyi’s upper body with it.

Subsequently, she opened the acupuncture kit, pulling out long and thin silver needles. fre(e)webnov(l).com

Seeing the silver needles, Xiaobei turned pale and his hand trembled, causing the medicine to spill from the spoon.

On the side, Xiumei reproached him with concern, “Be careful, our Miss put a lot of effort into making this medicine!”

“Don’t be distracted, just do your task. At this point, you have no choice but to trust me.” Wei Ruo stated sternly.

“Yes…yes…” With continual affirmations from Xiaobei, he forced himself to concentrate on his task.

Swiftly and accurately, Wei Ruo performed acupuncture on Wei Jinyi, striking him with a dozen needles in no time.

Just then, there was a big commotion outside the door. Someone was coming.

“Miss…” Xiumei looked at Wei Ruo with worry.

“You guard the door, I’ll be done in a moment.” Wei Ruo said.

“Yes.”

Upon receiving the command, Xiumei went to the door.

The visitors were Nurse Zhang and Maid Cuiping from Madam Yun’s side.

“Is the young lady home?” Nurse Zhang asked Xiumei gravely.

“Yes,” Xiumei replied.

“Please fetch the young lady out. Madame is waiting for her in Wangmei Garden.” Nurse Zhang requested.

“Please wait a moment, Madam. Our young lady has something to deal with, and she will come out as soon as she’s finished.” Xiumei didn’t budge, using her body to block the door.

“What are we waiting for? Escaping doesn’t solve anything. Had we known earlier, we should have been more restrained.”

Nurse Zhang naturally assumed that Wei Ruo was avoiding punishment.

“Our young lady is not escaping.”

“Not escaping? Then what is she doing right now?”

“Our young lady just needs a bit more time, so could Madam please wait a while.” Xiumei repeated her sentence.

Seeing this, Nurse Zhang sighed, “It’s good that you protect your young lady, but now that the Madame wants to see her, your blocking will invite the Madame’s reproach. And I fear even the young lady can’t save you then. You and I are both servants, it’s better to do our duty and not to provoke the master.”

Nurse Zhang gave some extra advice, seeing Xiumei was only about thirteen or fourteen.

“If Madam wants to punish me, I accept. But now, could Madam and Sister Cuiping please wait a while, my young lady will be out in a moment.”

Xiumei was stubborn and only took Wei Ruo’s words seriously.

“You have yet to learn your lesson! If you are always this stubborn, you will be at a great disadvantage! Never mind, I will not talk to you anymore.”

Seeing that Xiumei wasn’t persuaded, Nurse Zhang and Cuiping advanced together to forcefully break the door.

Xiumei pressed her back tightly against the door. Without resisting Zhang and Cuiping’s actions, she didn’t budge an inch, blockading the door steadfastly.

Inside, Wei Ruo heard the quarrel outside, but she was engrossed in completing the acupuncture for Wei Jinyi.

After finishing, Wei Ruo quickly packed away the acupuncture kit to prevent anyone coming in from seeing it.

“He’ll continue to be unconscious for a while, but if all goes well, he’ll wake up by tomorrow morning.”

“Really… is it true?” Xiaobei looked at Wei Ruo in disbelief.

“Don’t doubt, I don’t joke around with people’s lives. There are two more tablets in the bottle. Dilute one with a bowl of water as I instructed earlier. After your young master wakes up, feed him a bowl, and another bowl tomorrow night.” Wei Ruo further instructed.

“Alright, alright. I got it!” Xiaobei promptly agreed.

Wei Ruo addressed Xiaobei, who wore a blank look, “Do not disclose to anyone what I did for your young master today. Can you do it?”

Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, then nodded blankly.

Wei Ruo didn’t know whether he understood or not. Regardless, she had no other option now. Saving a life was her own choice, and she was ready to bear any consequence that came with it.

Wei Ruo looked towards the door and guessed roughly why Madame Yun had sent for her.

“Look after your young master well. I have other troubles to deal with.”

After instructing Xiaobei, Wei Ruo walked to the door and opened it.

Nurse Zhang and Maid Cuiping outside the door looked embarrassed.

Despite their struggles, they gained nothing from Xiumei. The two of them were panting from exertion due to all their effort but failed to pull away Xiumei blocking the door.

Wei Ruo first looked carefully at Xiumei to ascertain that she wasn’t hurt in the argument, then said to Nurse Zhang and Maid Cuiping,

“Don’t make things difficult for my maid. I’ll go with you now.”

“Miss…” Xiumei looked anxiously at Wei Ruo.

“I’m fine, you go back to Tingsong Garden first.” Wei Ruo instructed.

Xiumei was still worried, but she chose to trust Wei Ruo.

Adjusting her clothes, Nurse Zhang looked annoyed and helpless, “If the young lady had come out earlier, nothing would have happened. Why make everyone go through so much trouble? Mind your demeanor when you meet the madam later.”

“Let’s go. It is urgent, isn’t it?” novelbuddy.c(o)m

After saying this, she walked ahead of Nurse Zhang.

Seeing this, Nurse Zhang and Maid Cuiping hurried behind her, as if they were afraid of Wei Ruo running off.

Wei Ruo didn’t have any intentions of running. Within the Wei Residence, where could she possibly run to?

Wei Ruo was taken to Wangmei Garden by Nurse Zhang and Maid Cuiping – it was brightly lit.

The already asleep Madam Yun was now sitting solemnly in the main room, properly dressed.

Nurse Li was kneeling before her.

Wei Ruo stood next to Nurse Li, calmly facing Madam Yun.

Madam Yun stared at Wei Ruo, questioning angrily, “What is the meaning of this, Ruoruo? Why did you create a scene in Wanwan’s courtyard in the middle of the night? You even pushed Wanwan and caused her injury! Do you know, Wanwan bled a lot from her foot!”
