Chapter 576 Abnormal Fortune
Wen Jiu had actually guessed this a long time ago, but based on her understanding of Li, she should not go so far as to harm the master.
The woman in the backyard had a deeply ingrained mindset, and she would never think of hurting her man.
Su Peisheng sighed when he heard Wen Jiu say this, and then he continued: "Although the weather is cold, the Second Prince's body cannot be kept for too long. Even if the master is heartbroken, there is nothing he can do but have the Second Prince sent away.
Concubine Li woke up and couldn't see the Second Prince. She immediately became furious. She yelled that she wanted to kill someone and was so delirious that she didn't recognize anyone.
Thinking of Li now, Su Peisheng still had some lingering fear as he said, "Miss Dongchan, Laishou, and the wet nurse who served Concubine Li were all injured. Even I was not spared, though my injuries were lighter. When the master saw Concubine Li stabbing at him, he didn't even try to dodge, and the stab hit him right in the heart. I was so scared that my soul flew away. But Master Buyan, in order to protect the master, knocked Concubine Li unconscious again."
Wen Jiu couldn't help but frown as he listened. "And then? Did the Fourth Master go see someone else?"
Su Peisheng: "The master was injured, so we immediately went to call the palace doctor. However, after the master left, he used some fists and feet, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Both the servant and the master were thrown away. Seeing that the master went to the front yard, the servants went to the front yard to look for him. We searched everywhere but couldn't find him, so we thought of coming back to take a look at you.
I saw bloodstains at your door, and Dashao said he saw the prince go in, so I felt a little relieved. I was just about to report to you when I heard the master ordering a servant to change your water.
Wen Jiu frowned slightly after hearing the whole story. "So, I disappeared for a while, and you didn't see me? Did you see anyone up ahead?"
Su Peisheng immediately shook his head: "I didn't see anyone else. But I did see bloodstains on the study window. I think the master went back to the study before coming to your yard."
Wen Jiu knew that no matter how much he asked, he wouldn't get any answers. He wanted to know if the master had run into someone, so perhaps the only way to find out was from the Fourth Master. He immediately handed him a packet of heat-clearing and hemostatic powder and said, "Please take care of yourself. Go back and apply it. This wound should be taken care of. The master is asleep, so just rest for a while. I'll send someone to call you when it's almost dark."
Su Peisheng was relieved. He was actually very tired at the moment. After hearing this, he said, "Master Wen, you really care about me."
Wen Jiu waved his hand: "Stop talking about these polite things, go quickly, it seems you can still sleep for another hour."
Wenjiu replaced the pot of brown sugar water on the table with spiritual spring water and asked him to take it down and drink it slowly.
"Master, I've arranged for Eunuch Su to sleep in the adjacent compartment." After Liusu sent Su Peisheng off, she quietly walked over to the wine maker and urged, "It's so late, why don't you take a rest too?"
Wenjiu sat on the table, his head propped up, his fingers unconsciously rubbing against the table, his brow furrowed. It was obvious that he hadn't taken Liusu's words to heart.
Liusu looked at him and couldn't help but sigh. She said, "Master, if you are afraid of touching the prince's wound, I will make a bed for you on the small couch. Will you stay there for the night?"
Wenjiu shook his head and stood up suddenly: "No, I have to go see the children."
After hearing this, Liusu immediately stood up and followed, and picked up a thicker cloak and put it on Wenjiu.
"Greetings, Concubine." The wet nurse who was on night watch in the room was shocked when she saw Wenjiu, and immediately stood up and came over to greet Wenjiu.
Wen Jiu was also taken aback. He hadn't expected that at this hour, there would be a large crowd of people standing in the room. A rough count revealed eight people. Two others were squatting by the charcoal fire, staring intently at it.
The red charcoal fire in the charcoal basin was obviously almost burned to ashes, and the small window in the corner of the room for ventilation was always open.
Wenjiu let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that everyone was scared, afraid of repeating the same mistake.
After taking another closer look at his sleeping sons' faces, Wenjiu turned and walked out the door, letting out a sigh of relief.
Wang~
Suddenly hearing this voice, Wenjiu turned around and found that Wangcai had run over to her at some point and circled around her twice.
He followed Wenjiu and circled around the door, humming and trying to get in with his feet, obviously wanting to get in.
Wenjiu patted its head and said, "Why are you so good today? Have you stopped pulling at my skirt? Big Head and Little Wolf are asleep, what are you doing here now?"
"Hmph~" Wangcai grunted and stretched out his claws to scratch the door again.
Wen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then he squatted down and said, "Wangcai, are you worried about me? Do you want to go in and see him?"
"Wang!"
This time, Wangcai started to use his head to warm the wine, and then stretched out his claws to scratch the door.
Wen Jiu saw it like this and rubbed its forehead with his hand: "I'll take you in to see the master, but you can't shout. Don't disturb his rest. If you agree, just shout."
"Wang!"
Seeing Wangcai squatting there waiting obediently, Wenjiu couldn't help but be surprised.
Wangcai had always been smarter than most animals. People say a clever dog has the IQ of an eight or nine-year-old. Perhaps it was because Wenjiu fed it so much food from the spiritual spring, but Wangcai and the others seemed exceptionally intelligent. There were surprisingly no obstacles in their communication.
The Fourth Master has a special feeling for Wangcai, and it is obvious that Wangcai is also thinking about the Fourth Master.
Wenjiu simply brought it into the house. The Fourth Master was still asleep, so Wenjiu sat beside him and covered him with the quilt.
Wangcai also circled around the Fourth Master's bed, sniffed close to the Fourth Master, and finally licked his hand. He squatted there and looked at the Fourth Master for a long time without calling out.
Wenjiu looked at Wangcai's obedient appearance and couldn't help but touch its head. He lowered his voice and said, "Wangcai, you should go back and rest. I'm fine. I can feed you meat tomorrow morning. Go quickly."
Wangcai took another look, and the Fourth Master licked his hand, then began to pull up his trouser legs to warm the wine.
Wenjiu immediately lowered his voice and said, "Wangcai, stop making trouble and go to sleep."
Wangcai, however, changed his previous obedient attitude and kept pulling Wenjiu's trouser legs and dragging her out.
Wen Jiu had no other choice but to follow it outside. However, Wang Cai had no intention of stopping and continued to pull her outside.
