Chapter 39 Be Gentle, It Hurts



The slap made her round face immediately swell and turn red. She covered her face, stared with her small, barely open eyes, and opened her mouth in disbelief: "Zhang, what did you say? Didn't you spill the food? How can you blame me?"

Granny Zhang snorted coldly and looked up at the old women behind her: "Who do you think spilled this food?"

The old women all said in unison, "It was the fat woman; we saw it with our own eyes."

Fat woman: "..."

"Fatty, you just wait and see. If I say you spilled this food, then you spilled it. Otherwise, well, you should know that I just dealt with a disobedient servant two days ago."

The fat woman's face turned deathly pale in an instant: "Yes, it was me, it was me who knocked it over, it was me who knocked it over."

Granny Zhang glanced at Zhu Yu, then led her group of old women away.

The fat woman glared maliciously at "Lu Xiaoyun" in front of her and cursed, "You bitch!"

Zhu Yu's expression was cold and aloof. He quickly picked up a shard of porcelain from the ground and slashed it across the fat woman's neck.

The fat woman's pupils contracted sharply, and she was so frightened that she retreated abruptly. Although the sharp porcelain shard in Zhu Yu's hand did not sever the blood vessels in her neck, she was still cut, and blood gushed out from her thick neck in an instant.

Zhu Yu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the whole room was as cold as an ice cellar.

Seeing this "Lu Xiaoyun," the fat woman dared not act recklessly anymore. Her fat face, swollen like a pig's head from being slapped, lost all color, and her eyes were filled with unconcealed terror. She clutched her injured neck and fled in panic.

Li Feng was so frightened by his young mistress's actions that his face turned as white as snow.

"Miss..."

Zhu Yu collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted, and coughed several times. Blood seeped out again from the wounds on his body that had already healed: "Help me up."

Li Feng rushed forward to help Zhu Yu up. Seeing the blood-soaked clothes of "Miss," tears streamed down her face again: "Waaah, Miss, what should we do? The wound has reopened. Miss, please bear with it. I will go and beg the Prince right away. He will surely not abandon you."

Zhu Yu closed his eyes wearily. From the moment Zhang Mama entered until she left, the jade bracelet on his wrist had been burning hot, with the heat increasing in waves.

There's no need to even look at it; this data is probably rising dramatically.

Sure enough, it's 860 points.

It rose another hundred!

Zhu Yu, weak and listless, used Li Feng's help to stand up and lie down on the bed: "No, don't go. I'd rather die than have you beg her. Li Feng, remember my words, from now on, never beg anyone. Even if you starve to death, even if you die of illness, never beg anyone!"

That woman wished she were dead. Why beg her? Did she expect him to laugh at him?

Li Feng shook her head frantically: "Miss, the Prince is actually a very good person. Really, Miss, you see, he had Lord Jiang send over the food box. Although, although we can't eat it now, the Prince did send it over, so we can't blame him. If I just go and beg the Prince again, he will definitely send over more food."

"And the wounds on your body, your face, Miss... Waaah... It's all my fault for being useless..."

Zhu Yu smiled wryly: "I just delivered the food box and she called Zhang Mama over. Is she doing this for a good reason? Li Feng, don't be fooled by her appearance."

That woman is a vicious snake; he even thought she had changed her nature.

Say one thing to my face and another behind my back!

This kind of behavior is truly disgusting!

Seeing Li Feng bring over some water, Zhu Yu sat up straight and took the wet handkerchief from Li Feng's hand: "Give me your hand."

"Miss..."

Zhu Yu glanced at her, said nothing, and grabbed Li Feng's hand to treat the injury on her hand.

Li Feng, startled like a frightened bird, quickly withdrew. Touching her wound, she gasped in pain, "Miss, I'm fine, I'm fine. I can handle it myself. I don't feel any pain at all, really, it doesn't hurt."

Even though she said that, tears were clearly streaming down her face.

Zhu Yu rolled his eyes at her, annoyed: "Don't move, it doesn't hurt, why are you crying!"

Li Feng: "Waaah..."

As Zhu Yu spoke, he used a handkerchief to wipe the mud off her hands and then used a bamboo stick to scrape off some ointment to apply to her.

Unfortunately, before the bodies were swapped, Zhu Yu was a rough old man who had never applied medicine to a young girl before. He was clumsy and rough, and even when he was injured, he never went easy on her.

Therefore, his actions caused Li Feng considerable pain.

Li Feng: "Waaah..."

"Miss, perhaps I should do it myself."

"Don't move."

Li Feng: "Waaah..." But, Miss, it hurts! Could you please be a little gentler?

Li Feng: "Miss, my hand doesn't need any medicine, it will be fine in a little while. This medicine was sent to you by the Prince, and there's only a little bit, so I can't waste it."

Zhu Yu glared at her: "Don't move. If my... Consort said there was no mistreatment, then there was no mistreatment. If you move around again, I'll stomp your paws right now!"

Li Feng was startled. Why was his young lady still so irritable? But he didn't dare to move again.

Tears streaming down her face, she said, "But, but, it'll be gone once it's used up, Miss. Your injuries haven't healed yet, sob, it's all my fault..."

Miss Guan, this medicine hurts even more than if I didn't apply it. If you really want me to apply it, please let me do it myself. This isn't a matter of wasting time or not. It was supposed to get better in three days, but now it won't get better even in five.

"Stop crying!" Zhu Yu frowned in annoyance and suddenly raised his voice, startling Li Feng back into tears.

Li Feng immediately wiped away her tears: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Zhu Yu glared at her; her words seemed rather inexplicable.

“Your face, Miss…” Li Feng looked at Zhu Yu’s face, which was swollen and had five clear finger marks, and wanted to cry but dared not.

Zhu Yu snorted coldly, stuck out his tongue and licked the wound on the corner of his mouth, saying indifferently, "It's a minor injury, nothing to worry about."

"A minor injury?" Li Feng blinked her tear-filled eyes and stared blankly at Zhu Yu. In the past, the young lady cherished her face the most, applying a lot of things to it every day. If there was even the slightest red mark, she would beat and scold all the servants and maids in the courtyard.

Now that things have turned out this way, how could Miss not care at all?

Miss has really changed a lot.

"Do we have any silver?" Zhu Yu asked, pulling over a bundle of white cloth.

But Miss's bandaging technique is really good, even better than that female doctor's.

She looked up blankly at Zhu Yu, a smile gradually spreading across her lips. Her mistress must have gotten better.

"What are you laughing at? I'm asking you a question, do we have any money?" The little girl seemed to be thinking about something else again.

Li Feng's head drooped instantly. He shook his head and, apart from a few shabby clothes, was penniless.

All the dowry brought by the young lady's mother ended up in the pocket of the stepmother.
