Chapter 122
"They exploited you and humiliated you so much back then. Now it's time for them to suffer."
Cuizhu snorted and went home with them contentedly.
However, at this moment, Qi Nanfeng, who had just woken up, stared at Ruan Mian with bloodshot eyes, and the fire of anger in his eyes burned fiercely.
Before anyone could react, he suddenly stood up, pulled out a dagger from somewhere, and stabbed Ruan Mian in the back with a muffled sound!
In the blink of an eye, a figure quickly rushed out from the crowd, stretched out his arm, and decisively grasped the sharp blade!
Blood cut through his palm, quickly staining his white robe and blade red.
Ruan Mian woke up with a start, his eyes darkened, and he grabbed Qi Nanfeng's wrist bone and pushed it upwards suddenly.
The two of them exerted their strength together, and Qi Nanfeng almost used up all his strength to fight back.
But in the end, he was no match for the strength of Ruan Mian and the others, and all he heard was a violent scream!
The sharp blade was thrust back into his eyes, piercing straight into his eyeballs. "Ah..."
Qi Nanfeng pulled out the knife in agony, covered his bleeding eye tightly, and rolled on the ground.
Ruan Mian turned around and saw Xie Huaian’s palm almost pierced, and her brows furrowed.
"grown ups!"
"How could you catch it with your bare hands? Don't you know how dangerous that is?!"
Xie Huaian is quite patient.
The pain did not change his expression, but Ruan Mian's accusation made him feel wronged.
"Madam Ruan, I'm already like this, and you still blame me, is that appropriate?"
Ruan Mian knew that he was in the wrong, so he took him into his cellar first and asked Cuizhu to bring the medicine box.
The Zhang couple also came forward, and Mr. Ruan assisted Ruan Mian, carefully treating his wounds.
While everyone was not paying attention, Ruan Mian took out some hemostatic drugs and some anti-inflammatory Western medicines from the space.
The cut was so strong that the bone was visible. After disinfecting and cleaning it, she had to sew it up for him.
In the space there were military medicines looted from the Xuanjia military camp last time, as well as some mulberry thread for suturing wounds.
Although the tools were simple, they were enough to deal with his external injuries.
With the addition of spiritual spring water as auxiliary treatment, there will be no major problem.
Moreover, Ruan Mian unexpectedly discovered that his father's suturing skills were no worse than his own.
He volunteered to suture the wound carefully and cautiously.
When everything was ready, it was already dark outside.
Yun Xiu was waiting anxiously by the side, and when he saw that Xie Huaian was fine, his heart finally settled down.
Ruan Mian looked at his tightly bandaged hands, which looked like a big bun, and felt very uncomfortable.
This was the first time someone risked their life to protect me. I didn't know what words to use to describe the emotion in my heart.
In short, she felt that Xie Huaian was an extremely good person, at least to her, he was a true friend.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to save her.
With his actions, Ruan Mian was certain that she would protect him to the end.
Of course, this is a later story.
The most urgent thing is that he needs to rest well.
After Ruan Mian instructed Yun Xiu on some basic matters, he added, "I will bring you food in the next few days. You are in such a bad state now, so you need to eat well."
Yun Xiu subconsciously wanted to politely decline on behalf of his master. After all, he understood his master and didn't want to owe him anything.
But he didn't expect that before he could finish his words, Xie Huaian readily agreed.
"Okay, this is a life-saving favor for Madam Ruan. Madam Ruan... please take good care of me. It's getting late today, so I won't bother you anymore."
He politely said goodbye to the two elders of the Zhang family. After he and Yun Xiu left the house, Zhang heaved a long sigh and couldn't help but sigh.
"Even in this situation, he still sacrificed his life to save you. Mianmian, Lord Xie is a rare good man."
Mr. Ruan nodded appreciatively. "He's a good boy. It's said that he's the second son of the Nanping Marquisate. But after graduating from high school, he devoted himself to becoming an official. Even after the family split up, he never mentioned his Marquisate background. To this day, some people still don't know he's the son of a Marquisate."
"Master Xie is actually the son of the Marquis of Nanping? I've never heard of him before."
Zhang was extremely surprised, and even Ruan Mian was surprised.
The original book did not mention his family background, but only said that he entered the court through his own ability and became a confidant of the emperor.
But how did Mr. Ruan know these secrets?
Upon questioning, Master Ruan finally said, "Your grandfather once saved the Marquis of Nanping. The Marquis of Nanping went south to look for this son. I saw him then, and he looked just like he does now."
"He's been raised outside since he was a child and rarely sets foot in the Marquis' Mansion, so few people know him. And if he doesn't say anything, there must be a reason for not saying it. Now that we know about this, there's no need to go to great lengths to tell outsiders, understand?"
Everyone present nodded. Zhang saw Ruan Mian's absent-minded look and suddenly had an idea.
She approached Ruan Mian and whispered, "Mian Mian, what do you think of this Lord Xie? Is he a good man?"
As soon as Ruan Mian heard it, he knew what she was planning.
He quickly said, "Mother, matters of the heart require mutual affection, and I've already made it very clear before."
Zhang then remembered that she had tried to match them up once before, but she had forgotten about it.
She quickly replied, "Look at mother, her memory is getting worse and worse. She forgets everything as soon as it happens. Since Mianmian doesn't have that in mind, mother won't say much."
At this moment, Ruan Mian had not taken his mother's words to heart.
I couldn't help but think of Xie Huaian's family background. The Nanping Marquis's family is now in Kyoto. Was there no reaction from over there after he was demoted?
He said last time that the poison in his body was caused by his mother...
…
The next day, Ruan Mian made fresh fish soup, as well as a dish of stir-fried bacon and delicious mushrooms and brought them to Xie Huaian.
I also changed his medicine.
She thought he could endure it very well, but she didn't expect that the man took a breath of cold air before her hand even touched the wound. If someone didn't know, they would think Ruan Mian had used too much force!
"My lord, I haven't done anything yet!"
"Sorry, it hurts too early."
Xie Huaian smiled awkwardly, and when Ruan Mian actually took action, he took an exaggerated breath.
Ruan Mian really thought she had hurt him, and quickly retracted her hand: "Does it still hurt?"
I saw his eyebrows move slightly, and he smiled easily: "It seems that the pain is right this time."
Ruan Mian: ...
She discovered that adults were sometimes not as serious as she thought.
He looks imposing, but in fact he is a sickly person, so thin that he cannot take care of himself.
I didn't even have the energy to get out of bed and eat something: "Madam Ruan, I have to trouble you to help me."
Ruan Mian glanced at the food on the table. There was nothing he could do. It was because of him that he was injured.
So he obediently took the food and fed it to the injured person spoonful by spoonful.
Ruan Mian is not a very careful person when it comes to taking care of patients, but fortunately Xie Huaian is not picky either. Whatever she says is what it is, and whatever she asks him to do is what he does, except... he is often not able to move around easily.
