Chapter 215 The Master Even Stole the Maid’s Job

The cold wind swept across and the snow was everywhere.

A bonfire was lit outside the tent, just to bring some warmth to Jiang Yuzhu.

After being on the frozen ground for so long, her legs and feet could not bleed and were numb from the cold.

Despite this, Jiang Yuzhu still insisted on seeing the patient just to save the lives of the soldiers.

Jiang Yuzhu smiled bitterly. It was not that she was so noble, but because she had received modern education, she always had a passion to defend her country.

Having a low sense of morality doesn’t mean she is unpatriotic!

The tent curtain was opened and a gust of cold wind rushed in instantly.

Xie Zhao's tall body entered the tent, and the small space suddenly seemed more crowded.

Here, Jiang Yuzhu had just treated a seriously injured soldier. When she saw Xie Zhao bringing hot water, she quickly soaked her hands in the water and said with a smile, "Yuanhe, you are still very careful."

As a doctor, it is important to keep your hands flexible.

However, the temperature in the tent could not rise, and Jiang Yuzhu's hands were exposed, so her joints were frozen and swollen.

"It's so cold in the border town. The boiling water turned cold in less than a cup of tea."

Soaking in the hot water, Jiang Yuzhu felt a warm current flowing through her body. She stamped her feet and gradually regained consciousness.

Xie Zhaogang met Mo Qianyu in the main tent of the army. After understanding the current situation in the army, he went straight to the tent where Jiang Yuzhu was to help.

"Have a sip of egg soup and eat two hot buns."

My wife does physical work, and looking at her pale face, it is obvious that she is physically exhausted.

Jiang Yuzhu suffered a lot to save an insignificant person.

For a moment, Xie Zhao found that he could not see her clearly.

In the capital, who can make Jiang Yuzhu suffer? Not even the emperor and the queen mother.

Everyone is equal in front of money. Xiao She never takes advantage of Jiang Yuzhu and often complains to Xie Zhao about his family's emptied assets.

Such a cost-conscious person was willing to spend a large sum of money on military supplies for soldiers in border towns.

Although most of the money came from robbery, it was real silver.

Jiang Yuzhu kept the flowers for herself, and no one could say no.

Xie Zhao thought for a moment and opened the food box in his hand.

There were big, plump, white buns on the porcelain plate, emitting a slight heat.

He said, "Let's eat something to fill our stomachs while no soldiers are being carried here."

"good."

Jiang Yuzhu struggled a bit. She hadn't felt anything before, but when she saw her stomach growling after eating, she realized that she was hungry again.

It was cold in the north and consumption was high, so Jiang Yuzhu became hungry quickly.

Smelling the aroma of the egg soup, Jiang Yuzhu's eyes were full of confusion, and then she only drank two small spoonfuls of the soup to moisten her throat.

"The egg soup is just the right temperature. Drinking a bowl warms your stomach."

Seeing that his wife did not move, Xie Zhao took the initiative to bring out the egg soup and placed it in front of her.

At this moment, Jiang Yuzhu's eyes had already moved elsewhere, and she refused, "No, I'll just eat two buns."

It is true that drinking a bowl of egg soup will make you feel comfortable, but it is a pity that drinking such watery soup will inevitably require going to the toilet.

Treating the wounded is crucial. She doesn't want to waste even a moment and is unwilling to give up any hope.

Without chewing the food slowly, Jiang Yuzhu almost swallowed the bun whole and started to see the wounded soldiers again.

There were still people queuing outside the tent.

Although people knew that it was better to be diagnosed and treated earlier, no one rushed to get the treatment.

"Yuanhe, help me get the hemostat."

"Mulberry bark thread."

With Xie Zhao around, Jiang Yuzhu's treatment speed was greatly improved.

Xie Zhao only read through the several steps of dealing with trauma once and memorized them by heart.

Then the two of them worked together. Jiang Yuzhu didn't even need to ask for things, Xie Zhao would take the initiative to hand them to her.

After seeing that the medicine box was running low on wounds, Xie Zhao ordered his men to replenish it quickly.

The wounded who had been treated were carried out and more were carried in.

Jiang Yuzhu gritted her teeth and persisted. When her vision went dark, Xie Zhao put the candy into her mouth in time.

The candy was the cheapest kind of maltose, which cost one penny in the North. Neither she nor the original owner had ever eaten anything so cheap.

But the moment she put it in her mouth, Jiang Yuzhu's mind became clear and even her heart felt sweet.

As more soldiers retreated from the battlefield, the number of people waiting outside the tent also increased.

Jiang Yuzhu couldn't remember how many patients she had treated, she only remembered that there were endless wounds to suture.

Later, she was only responsible for suturing. The injured soldiers applied medicine by themselves, and those with lighter injuries stayed behind and took the initiative to explain to those who came later, just to reduce Jiang Yuzhu's workload.

At this moment, the soldiers were only grateful in their hearts, but they didn't know that she was the daughter of the Jiang family and also Mrs. Xie.

After working all night, when the sky was just beginning to turn pale, Jiang Yuzhu was sweating all over and her legs felt like they were filled with lead.

There were no more wounded soldiers lined up outside the tent.

Xie Zhao told Hong Jin to prepare food. He went out for a while and when he came back he found Jiang Yuzhu asleep leaning against the chair.

She looked very tired, with her lower eyelids tinged with blue.

"Master, Madam..."

Hong Jin brought the food box and hesitated whether to wake people up.

After a night of snow, the campsite was covered with deep snow. Even the fire was reduced to small sparks, and the temperature in the tent dropped sharply.

"It's easy to catch a cold sleeping here."

Xie Zhao ordered someone to bring a carriage, put Jiang Yuzhu on the carriage and sent her to the military tent that had just been built for him.

"Hongjin, go get some hot water and some clothes to change into."

Originally, the maid was serving Jiang Yuzhu, but Xie Zhao was worried that the servant was clumsy, so he took the initiative to wash Jiang Yuzhu's body and massage her calves and ankles.

During this time, Jiang Yuzhu opened her eyes drowsily, and seeing that the person beside her was Xie Zhao, she fell into a deep sleep again.

"Yuzhu, you still lack the heart to guard against others."

Although Xie Zhao said this, there was a hint of doting on his face that he himself was not aware of.

"Master, General Mo wants you to come over to discuss matters."

Outside the military tent, Hong Jin took the initiative to remind.

Originally, the wife had been troubled, and Hong Jin was thinking about serving her carefully and doing her best, but who knew that the master would even take the maid's work and insist on doing it himself.

Behind Xie Zhao's back, Hong Jin's eyes revealed a hint of contempt, as she always felt that the master was weird.

Xie Zhao took a towel and wrung Jiang Yuzhu's hair dry.

He lowered his eyes and gently stroked Jiang Yuzhu's cheek with his hand.

She didn't know if it was because of the cold wind last night, but her face was now stained with a beautiful pink hue, and even her red lips were shining with water.

In her sleep, Jiang Yuzhu felt someone was staring at her and moaned subconsciously.

Xie Zhao's mind moved slightly, and he leaned over and kissed her lips.

I help my wife wash, dress, and take care of her. It’s not too much to ask for some benefits, right?

After doing everything subconsciously, Xie Zhao felt a secret pleasure from the sneaky intimacy.

After leaving the military tent, facing Hong Jin's inquiring eyes, Xie Zhao's face had already returned to its cold expression, and he said concisely: "Take good care of the madam."

"Yes, sir."

Hong Jin responded cautiously, with a suspicious look on her face. After she entered the military tent, she felt that the atmosphere was not right.

When Hongjin saw the red mark on Jiang Yuzhu's neck, she was shocked. She asked why the master took the initiative to serve the mistress, it turned out that he had selfish motives!

Madam is so tired, what a beast!

Hong Jin decided immediately that even if it offended the master in the future, she would have to stay in the middle to prevent the master from taking advantage of the lady without her knowledge!
