“Daughter isn’t tired. Being able to do something for father and mother is her blessing,” Wei Qingwan replied.
“Having you here really puts my mind at ease,” said Yunshi.
The sensible demeanor of their daughter infused a bit of comfort into Yunshi’s anxious heart.
“Mother, be at ease. Doctor Cheng said father is now safe and only needs to continue recuperating before he wakes up. During this time, I’ll take good care of father and won’t let anything happen to him,” said Wei Qingwan.
Yunshi nodded.
Wei Qingwan continued to reassure Yunshi, “Mother, you should go back and rest. As father recovers, you also need to recover as quickly as you can. When father wakes up and sees you well, he will be relieved.”
She then turned to Maid Cuiping who brought Yunshi over and said, “Cuiping, help mother to rest in her room. Her body hasn’t fully recovered and she shouldn’t be moving around. There’s still some ginseng soup in the kitchen. Ask someone to bring it for mother to drink.”
“Got it,” replied Cuiping.
Under Wei Qingwan’s order, Cuiping helped Yunshi back to her room and Wei Qingwan remained watching over Wei Mingting.
Wei Qingwan mainly fed Wei Mingting his medicine and ginseng soup. Changing Wei Mingting’s bandages was still something Wei Qingwan could not do, it had to be left to Doctor Cheng and his apprentice.
When Doctor Cheng unwrapped the bandages revealing Wei Mingting’s ghastly wound, Wei Qingwan, although startled, looked away and refused to watch closely.
The blood on the wound had already clotted and some had even started to scab, but the gaping hole where flesh had been torn out was still there. The massive scar was as creepy as a giant centipede.
Noticing Wei Qingwan’s reaction, Doctor Cheng told her to wait outside until the medicine was changed, and the wound was rebandaged.
Later in the afternoon, the room heated up a bit and Wei Qingwan noticed beads of sweat on Wei Mingting’s forehead. She used a warm towel to wipe away the sweat from his face.
As she wiped his face, Wei Mingting’s brows moved slightly, then he slowly opened his eyes.
“Father?!” Wei Qingwan could hardly believe her eyes. Shock turned into immense joy, and then tears sprung from her eyes and rolled down her cheeks.
“Wan…” Wei Mingting tried to speak, but his throat could barely make a sound. His whole body felt immensely heavy as if a massive stone was pressing down on him.
“Father, don’t try to speak yet. Your injuries are severe, and it took a lot to save your life. You still need to rest and recover!” Wei Qingwan frantically explained.
Wei Mingting indeed lacked the energy to speak, and his body felt incredibly heavy. He couldn’t move any part of his body easily, so he blinked his eyes to indicate he understood.
Wei Qingwan couldn’t help but cry, “Father, you’ve suffered so much!”
Seeing his daughter cry, Wei Mingting wanted to speak again, “Don’t…cry…”
“I won’t cry, I won’t cry. Father rest well, I will stop crying. You don’t need to speak.” Wei Qingwan hurriedly wiped away her own tears.
Hearing the noise, Doctor Cheng came over to check Wei Mingting’s pulse, then he said deeply, “Mister Wei’s condition has improved. This wakeup indicates danger has passed! Good! Congratulations!”
Doctor Cheng then cautioned, “Mister Wei, do not move around recklessly. You must rest well, neither worry nor think too much, prioritize your health above all else.”
Wei Mingting blinked his eyes to show he understood.
Concerned, Wei Qingwan asked Doctor Cheng, “Doctor Cheng, is there anything else I need to do?”
Doctor Cheng said, “Take your medicine on time, change your bandages on time, and like before, you can also feed Mister Wei some ginseng soup. When his body gets a bit better, you can gradually add some easily digestible food. But remember, recovery should be steady and gradual, don’t rush it!” “Understood!” Wei Qingwan nodded her head obediently, attentively keeping in mind the doctor’s advice.
At night, when Wei Ruo came, Wei Mingting’s bedside was crowded with Wei Qingwan, Yunshi, and a bunch of maids.
Wei Ruo stood at the door watching for a while, asked Doctor Cheng a couple of questions about Wei Mingting’s condition.
After confirming that Wei Mingting was out of danger, she decided to leave.
“Why are you leaving?” Wei Yilin, who had been keeping vigil with Wei Ruo, inquired seeing her leave.
“Father has passed the critical period. Anyone can take care of him from now on,” Wei Ruo answered.
Wei Ruo did not want to join the crowd in the room. The room was filled with people, and both Yunshi and Wei Qingwan were constantly talking. She would rather sleep with the time she had.
Wei Yilin pondered, “Alright then, you must be tired after these few days, go back and rest!”
Wei Ruo did not have much to say to Wei Yilin, she simply turned around and went back to Tingsong Garden.
After no longer needing to worry about Wei Mingting, Wei Ruo had a good sleep and a good rest.
The next morning, as usual, she inquired about Wei Mingting’s condition, and learning that he was recovering as expected, she went to the Four Treasure House to find her wet nurse.
Brother Xiaoyong was home during these days and Wei Ruo did not want to miss these rare moments of reunion.
Arriving at the Four Treasure House, Wei Ruo familiarly proceeded into the backyard.
“Ruoruo!” Xu Zhengyong heard the sound and came running out of the house.
“Are you okay?” Wei Ruo asked again.
“Of course I’m fine, Ruoruo. Don’t you believe what I told you last time? I said I only got some minor external injuries, it’s really not a big deal,” Xu Zhengyong answered.
“You’re not without a history of ‘lying about military events.’ You used to be naughty and would say you were fine even when you bumped your head and it bled,” Wei Ruo revealed.
“That was so long ago, Ruoruo. Why are you bringing it up now?” Xu Zhengyong said a bit embarrassed.
Then Xu Zhengyong changed the topic and asked Wei Ruo about the main thing: “Ruoruo, do you still have medicine?”
Hearing Xu Zhengyong ask Wei Ruo about medicine, the wet nurse who came out of the house interrupted, “Xiaoyong, do you think your young mistress’s medicine comes with the wind? Nowadays, both rice and medicine are expensive, don’t you know to treasure it?”
Xu Zhengyong’s face turned a bit red with embarrassment. Of course, he knew that medicines were expensive these days, but on the battlefield when his comrades were injured, he couldn’t think about that much.
The campaign this time lasted for more than half a month. Although they were successful in repelling the enemy in the end, the casualties of the soldiers were more serious than previous battles, naturally, the medicine was not enough.
“Wet nurse, don’t blame Brother Xiaoyong. These medicines are prepared for him and his comrades to save lives. Whether it is Brother Xiaoyong or his comrades, they are all heroes who protect our country. I don’t mind giving them the medicine at all.”
Wei Ruo then turned to Xu Zhengyong and said, “Brother Xiaoyong, don’t worry. Yingying and I have a plot of medicinal field in Xingshan County, and soon we will be able to produce a batch of good blood-stopping medicine. I will have this batch of medicine refined and sent to you and your soldiers immediately.”
“Ruoruo, you’re the best!” Xu Zhengyong happily hopped around a few times..
