Chapter 31: Her Savior

  "Get out of the way, you clumsy oafs!" Yao Cunhui let out a helpless sigh and instructed Hong Lian and Hong Zhi: "It's better if only Rong Ma is here. You two go to the kitchen and make me a bowl of light and quiet silk gourd egg drop soup and some fine porridge! Use a clean pot, put in less oil, use clear water for the soup, and simmer the porridge slowly to bring out the flavor. Go on! At this time, don't bother the kitchen staff, you two do it yourselves!"

  Hongzhi and Honglian exchanged a glance, then hastily assented and left.

  "Second Miss..." After Hong Zhizhi left, Rong Ma looked up at Yao Cunhui. With her keen intuition, she had already guessed that Yao Cunhui intentionally wanted to get rid of Hong Zhi and must have something important to discuss with her.

  Yao's eyes were half-closed, and his pale face had two abnormal flushes on it. His forehead was hot, and he felt dizzy all over.

  The wound on her leg became inflamed, the temperature was scorching hot, causing a violent pulse to throb, as if it were about to tear out of her body. In comparison, the scratches and abrasions on her back, arms, waist, etc. no longer felt painful.

  "Second Miss, what are you going to say? Speak slowly, I'm listening!" Yon Ma secretly sighed, with a heartache in her eyes, and supported Yao Cun Hui who was on the verge of collapse.

  Rong's mother was wrong, Yao Cunhui didn't want to say anything, but wanted to do something.

  "Mother Rong," Yao Cunhui gasped, casting a faint glance at Mother Rong: "Do as I tell you, don't ask why, don't hesitate, because...I'm out of breath, and I won't say it again!"

  Yao Cunhui said this sentence in a disjointed manner, her pale face turned even whiter, and she panted heavily.

  Rong's mother tightened her heart and hurriedly patted and rubbed her chest and back, repeatedly responding: "Okay okay, Second Miss, you just give the orders, Rong's mother is listening, listening to everything!"

  Rong's mother was heartbroken, and Second Miss would give her life if she asked for it. Her orders, how could she not listen? As long as she was fine, as long as she recovered quickly, she would be willing to do whatever she wanted!

  Yao Cunhui's pale and dry lips curled up with a faint smile, her weak nod, then ordered Rong Ma to prepare wine, warm water, clean gauze, towels, ointment and other things, and told her to wash her hands clean.

  Mother-in-law did it too.

  "Now, do as I say." Yao Cunhui leaned forward slightly, exerting herself to lift the thin blanket, her gaze falling on her left leg. She looked at Rong Ma and instructed her step by step what to do next, gesturing laboriously with her hand.

  "Second Miss!" Mrs. Rong was stunned, she hadn't expected that Yao Cunhui wanted her to set the bones! She didn't know how to do this at all! Although Yao Cunhui roughly instructed her on what to do, but she couldn't bring herself to do it!

  "Second Miss, old slave, I'll go and invite the doctor, I'll go and invite the doctor now!" Madam Rong's face turned pale, her palms felt a chill.

  "It's already dark outside, are you going out?" Yao Cunhui sneered.

  The rules of the Yao Mansion, once night falls, no one is allowed to enter or exit. If you need to see a doctor, it's possible, but you must go through Madam Ma! Rong Ma and Yao Cun Hui both know that going through Madam Ma will only make things worse, it won't be of any use!

  "Tomorrow at dawn——"

  "It's too late." Yao Cunhui shook her head. By tomorrow morning, even if they invited the best orthopedic doctor, she would still miss the opportunity and her leg would be crippled! Even now, it was not the best time to treat it, but there was still hope!

  "If you don't want your second miss to become a laughing stock from now on, if you don't want her to be unable to get married, then you can just ignore what I'm saying!" Yao Cun's eyes were icy cold, and his tone was equally chilly, devoid of any warmth.

  Rong's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, Second Miss, I'll listen to you!" How could Second Miss become a cripple? How could Second Miss not get married? No, absolutely not!

  "If it hurts, Second Miss, you can call out." Nang Ma glanced at Yao Cun Hui and her trembling hand gently touched Yao Cun Hui's leg bone.

  How painful it must be! Rong's mother couldn't even bear to think about it, she was afraid that even a slight touch would hurt her, how could she bring herself to do it?!

  Rong's mother was completely empty, as if all her strength had been sucked out of her body. Her eyes were filled with tears that she couldn't hold back.

  Rong's thick and large hand gently fell on Yao Cunhui's dislocated small leg bone, a sharp pain immediately spread throughout her body. Yao Cunhui's eyes suddenly spun around and turned black, biting her teeth tightly without daring to make any sound that would scare Rong. However, her tense body still betrayed her pain! Rong quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

  "Rong Ma, the pain won't kill me, it's just temporary!" Yao Cunhui panted, her chest heaving up and down as she stared at Rong Ma: "Hurry up, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on much longer!" If she fell unconscious again, that would be the end of everything!

  Rong's mother steeled herself, knowing the pros and cons, gritted her teeth and said: "Miss, bear with it!" As she spoke, she mustered up her courage, placed her large hand on top, and began to move according to Yao Cunhui's instructions.

  "Ah!" Yao Cunhui bit the quilt tightly, and big drops of sweat immediately appeared on her forehead! The piercing pain seemed to suck out all the air in her lungs, leaving her breathless for a moment. She suddenly felt that she was absurd enough to let Rong Ma, a complete outsider, replace her as a bonesetter!

  Is she really too bold? She has the courage to try it out herself!

  "Not... again!" After enduring the pain, Yao Cunhui weakly opened her lips and uttered these few words. She also instructed Rong Ma a few more sentences.

  After the first one, the second, third and even fourth ones became less difficult. Mama Rong plucked up her courage and tried again, once, twice.

  Yao Cun Hui's heart was in extreme pain, her entire body trembling with fear. Sweat gathered and flowed down her face, dripping onto her neck, her disheveled hair clinging to her cheeks and neck, her clothes beneath her already soaked through.

  She had no idea that pain could be so intense! It was as if her soul and body were being torn apart, as if she was trapped between ice and fire, suffering.

  "Second Miss..." Mother Rong's tears fell again, she had never hated herself as much as this moment!

  "Once more..." Yao Cun Hui's pale face, devoid of even a hint of blood color, forced out a smile as he panted: "I... can take it!"

  She didn't know how weak her voice was at this moment, and how painful and desperate her expression was!

  "Let's not try anymore, Second Miss, Second Miss! If it's crippled, then it's crippled. I, the old slave, will take care of you for a lifetime, I will take care of you!" Rong Ma couldn't help but cry: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

  She can't bring herself to do it, she really can't bring herself to do it! Not to mention watching her in so much pain, just looking at that wound is already too much for her to handle!

  "Mother-in-law!" Yao Cunhui suddenly summoned up the strength from somewhere, her eyes wide open and her voice stern: "You, do you want me to... take matters into my own hands?!"

  She didn't give up, how could she? If she gave up, her father would never take her seriously again - although he doesn't now either. But she believes that she can make him take her seriously and rely on her like a right-hand man! Only by getting his recognition will she have the chance to step out of her cage, break free from her shackles, and take control of her own destiny!

  This is a hurdle. If she can't even get past this hurdle, what qualifications does she have to control her fate, and how can she be called the master of her fate?

  "Alright, alright, I'm coming, I'm coming!" Aunt Rong was already heartbroken and couldn't bear it, seeing Yao Cunhui like this made her even more anxious, she hastily nodded repeatedly.

  "What's going on!" A strange man's voice suddenly rang out, Yao Cunhui and Rong Ma looked up at the sound, a man wearing a dark night-traveling robe flashed forward, his deep eyes like the sea flashing with surprise and heartache.

  "Hui'er!" Before Rong's mother and Yao Cunhui could open their mouths, Shen Ke was already standing in front of the bed, his eyes fixed on the blood-stained sheets and Yao Cunhui's legs, which had been brutally battered by Rong's mother. He gasped, as if someone had stabbed him in the chest with a knife. His fierce and angry gaze turned to Rong's mother, exuding an intimidating chill.

  "You, you——" Tong's mother was also shocked and stared at him. She wanted to ask who he was, but she was suddenly intimidated by his aura, as if she was enchanted, and the words that reached her lips couldn't be spoken.

  "Shen Ge!" In Yao Cunhui's dark and nearly desperate heart, endless light and hope suddenly rose up, although his expression was still disheveled, although his face was still pale, but the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a layer of radiant vitality.

  "Save me..." Yao Cunhui murmured, her downcast eyes falling on her own legs.

  "Qī ér!" Shen Ke's fist clenched tightly at his side, and he casually pushed Rong Ma aside, sitting down on the edge of the bed, gently stroking Yao Cun Hui's leg as he trembled with rage: "Who did this to you?"

  Yao Cunhui's nose felt a sourness, her eye sockets were moist, and she realized that the feeling of having someone to rely on was so warm and so solid.

  "What a surprise, it's a fall!" Yao Cunhui smiled slyly.

  The muscles on Shen Que's face twitched violently. Was the unexpected event in the mansion really unexpected? How could Shen Que not know?

  "Endure for a moment, I'll help you set your bones right." Just by looking at the situation in front of him, Shen Ke understood everything without needing to ask.

  Shen Que's neat and efficient replacement of Yao Cunhui's bone was done with a slight frown and a low hum, followed by a faint "click" sound, and it was all over. Yao Cunhui's brow gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on his pale face.

  Shen Que's hands didn't stop, and he instructed Rong Ma with his mouth. With a few quick movements, he helped Yao Cun Hui clean the wound, applied medicine, and carefully bandaged it. His actions were light and agile, with a hint of elegance.

  She stared blankly, willingly obeying him, and repeatedly told herself in her heart: What a waste of life, it's really a waste of life!

  Look at their methods, and think about yourself! Rong's mother was so regretful that she wanted to slap herself a few times. What had she done? She had tormented the young lady like that!

  "Miss, is Second Miss okay?" Mother Rong asked anxiously, swallowing hard and speaking in a hoarse voice.
