Upon realizing this, Doctor Lin broke out in a cold sweat, but dared not be negligent. He quickly and carefully took Rong Qingqing's pulse and examined the injury on her forehead.
Finally, they applied medicine to her.
Actually, the injury on her forehead was just a minor one. It didn't break the skin; there was just some bruising and swelling. It didn't need any treatment and wouldn't leave a scar.
However, since Xie Jingrun had given instructions, he naturally dared not be careless.
After applying the medicine to Rong Qingqing, he was drenched in sweat and felt completely exhausted.
"Alright, it's nothing serious now, Madam. Don't worry, this injury of yours will definitely not leave a scar."
"Thank you, Physician Lin." Rong Qingqing looked in the mirror and knew her injury very well. It would be strange if such an injury left a scar. Xie Jingrun was making a big fuss over nothing!
"This ointment is specially made by our Imperial Hospital. Apply it to the wound morning and night, and the swelling and bruising will subside quickly," Doctor Lin said, taking out an ointment and explaining carefully.
Xiao Tao reached out and took it.
Rong Qingqing said to Changlin, "Then I'll trouble Chief Guard Changlin to see Physician Lin off."
"Physician Lin, please!" Changlin gestured to Physician Lin.
Physician Lin dared not linger at the inn, so he slung his medicine chest over his shoulder and hurriedly left.
After everyone left, Rong Qingqing stood with her legs crossed, still very confused.
Was Xie Jingrun setting a trap for her? Otherwise, why would he suddenly treat her so well? He even invited the imperial physician to examine her.
"Miss, why is the Marquis suddenly being so nice to you?" Xiao Tao asked curiously when she saw that there were no outsiders in the room.
"What do you mean by that?" Rong Qingqing asked back.
"You bumped your head, and the Marquis even invited the imperial physician to examine you. Isn't that a good thing?" Xiao Tao said matter-of-factly.
Rong Qingqing tapped her fingers on the table and shook her head, saying, "There are no free lunches in this world. I'm more inclined to believe that he's set a trap for me."
Xiao Tao analyzed, "Perhaps, the Marquis is simply thanking you for managing the mansion so well?"
Speaking of this, Rong Qingqing got angry, "Then he doesn't even give me my monthly salary."
Xiao Tao frowned. "That's true. The Marquis is too stingy. But luckily, Miss has money now, otherwise she would really be unable to move an inch."
Rong Qingqing's anger turned into a smile. "Yes, that's why women still need to have their own money. In this world, men are the most unreliable people."
Xiao Tao nodded in agreement, "Miss is right." Since her mistress stood up on her own, she had also come to understand many things.
"You should apply this ointment too," Rong Qingqing said, looking at the ointment in her hand. "You also bumped your forehead. This is a special ointment made by the Imperial Hospital, so it's definitely more effective than the ones from outside."
Xiao Tao touched the wound on her forehead and shook her head, saying, "No need, it doesn't hurt anymore, it's nothing serious. Miss can apply the ointment herself."
"Listen to me, go and apply it quickly." Rong Qingqing said sternly.
"But..." Xiao Tao wanted to refuse, but when she met her young mistress's stern gaze, she changed her mind and said, "This servant will apply it now."
“That’s right.” Rong Qingqing said in a gentle tone.
In the afternoon, Rong Qingqing woke up from her nap when Xiao Tao suddenly came in with a happy expression and announced, "Miss, Miss Shangguan has arrived."
Rong Qingqing was greatly surprised and quickly instructed, "Please come to the flower hall for tea."
Xiao Tao smiled and said, "This servant has already invited them over for tea."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing quickly washed up before heading to the flower hall.
