Chapter 1023 Patient
Before Zhang Juexia could ask what was going on, Lai Xi came in to report, "Madam, nothing happened. It was Escort Leader Ren who came to check and see if the people on duty at night were slacking off."
"knew!"
"Madam, Captain Ren said that you can just rest in peace."
"Thank Brother Ren for me."
After Lai Xi left, the slight sleepiness Zhang Juexia had felt disappeared.
She came to the bedroom and looked at Ye Ben lying on the bed, feeling extremely melancholy.
She lay in bed with her clothes on. The more she thought about it, the more confused her mind became. She simply got up, found a book, lit a candle and started reading.
Although the knock on the door outside was very light, Zhang Juexia still heard it.
She put down the book in her hand, stretched, and thought about going to the front yard to find out what was going on.
Before she reached the gate, she saw Liu Mingda talking to Lai Xi from afar. Soon, he and Lai Fu helped another anxious man standing nearby to lift a person off the carriage.
When several people were about to go in, Zhang Juexia quickly came to the carriage and asked anxiously, "Uncle Liu, what happened?
Bei Xiu, what happened to him? How did he get hurt?
Liu Mingda held Zhang Juexia back and said, "Juexia, if you have anything to say, let's go inside and talk. The patient also needs to rest."
How could Zhang Juexia be willing to accept this? However, Liu Mingda's hand was too strong and he pulled her inside.
Liu Mingda turned back and warned Lai Xi, "Tell them not to reveal a single word about what happened today.
Also, close the door and do what you need to do!
If someone asks, do you know what to say?"
Lai Xi nodded and said, "Doctor Liu, don't worry.
The master is injured, please give him medical treatment as soon as possible!"
After such a short journey, Zhang Juexia was already soaked. She didn't know how she followed Liu Mingda and the others into the house. But when she wanted to go into the inner room to take a look after the patient, she was stopped by Liu Mingda, "Juexia, we are all tired from traveling so fast. Go and get us some food.
The patient has a slight fever, so you can just give him some porridge."
Zhang Juexia pointed inside with a pale face, meaning that she had to go in.
Liu Mingda refused to compromise, "Juexia, be obedient!
Remember to be gentle and the fewer people who know about this, the better.
Do you understand?
Zhang Juexia was pushed out by Liu Mingda. She wanted to go in and see what happened to Ye Beixiu?
He is her husband!
Just as she was struggling to break free from Liu Mingda and was about to go in, the man inside said weakly, "I'm hungry."
Zhang Juexia then stopped and looked at Liu Mingda in confusion.
Liu Mingda pointed to his stomach again and said, "Juexia, we haven't stopped for a moment on the road. I'm too old to stand being hungry!"
Zhang Juexia cheered up and went to the kitchen. Fortunately, there were some leftovers in the kitchen. Zhang Juexia prepared some food for them with ease and brought it over.
"Uncle Liu, you guys eat. I'll go feed Bei Xiu."
“Wait, Bei Xiu’s illness is a bit strange, I’m afraid he won’t recognize you and might hurt you again.
Let the porridge cool down first, I will ask Da Chen to help feed him later.
Don’t worry, he won’t starve. You can go and rest first!
I'll talk to you after I've eaten and drunk enough."
Liu Mingda’s meaning was very clear, that is, Zhang Juexia was no longer needed now, so let her do what she should do!
But she was in no mood to do anything else at the moment. She glanced unwillingly into the inner room and said to Liu Mingda in an almost threatening tone, "Uncle Liu, you know my character very well.
There is nothing I can't do if I want to.
This is my home, and the person lying on the bed is my husband, why don’t you let me take a look at him?”
Liu Mingda listened to her words but was not annoyed, "Juexia, I understand your personality, so I talk to you in such a good temper.
Although you are a little stubborn, you are also a sensible child.
There is a reason why I did this.”
Zhang Juexia looked at Liu Mingda's tired appearance and decided not to argue with him anymore, "Forget it, you guys should eat first!
He's just lying in bed, so he can't get away."
"Juexia, please help us get a few more quilts."
Zhang Juexia was stunned, "Uncle Liu, we still have extra guest rooms at home, you can go and rest after you have eaten.
I'll just stay here and watch over Bei Xiu."
Liu Mingda thought for a moment and said, "He's seriously injured. We have to stay by his side and take care of him for a few days.
So, you have to help us get this quilt.
Also, when it gets light, remember, no one should come near here.
When it’s time for dinner, you just need to bring in some food yourself.”
"Uncle Liu, what you said is a bit too much. The person lying on the bed is my husband. Why don't you let me get close?"
Liu Mingda was already getting impatient, "If it weren't for Bei Xiu's sake, I would have kicked you out.
Let me ask you, do I understand medicine, or do you?
If you want your husband to live, do as I say."
Liu Mingda pushed Zhang Juexia out of the door and slammed it shut.
Zhang Juexia was also panicking standing outside the door. She stood there for a moment, and the cool breeze seemed to calm her down a little.
She was just too concerned and confused. Liu Mingda was right. She didn't have any medical skills, so maybe her presence would just cause more trouble.
"Uncle Liu, I listen to you. You must save my husband's life."
“It would have been better if you had been so obedient earlier.
Okay, remember what I said."
"I remember."
After Zhang Juexia left, Liu Mingda dared to come to the table to eat. Dachen pointed outside.
Liu Mingda gestured to him not to worry.
Zhang Juexia walked to the warehouse, found some new bedding, and brought it to them.
After she finished all these, Liu Mingda urged her to leave.
She wanted to grab Liu Mingda and ask him how Ye Beixiu got injured, where he was injured, and how serious it was.
"Your husband won't die anytime soon, so you can rest assured.
However, if you continue to cause trouble like this, I won’t be able to guarantee it.”
She was stunned.
"Juexia, you're smart. You have to understand that you can't cause more trouble at this time. Be obedient and go to rest quickly. You'll be of great use in the future!"
She lay down on the bed again with her clothes on. Although her mind was confused and she couldn't sleep, she still forced herself to close her eyes.
She stayed up in a daze until dawn, then got up from the bed, gave some instructions to the people at home, and went to the kitchen to instruct the cooks to prepare some food according to her instructions.
When she finished all these and stood in front of her guest room, hesitating whether to go forward, Li Yun came trotting over from behind, "Madam, are there guests at home?"
"Yes, he has been placed in the guest room. Sister Yang, this guest is a bit strange, so don't let anyone get close to him on weekdays.
When the food is ready, let me know and I'll deliver it myself."
Zhang Juexia glanced at Li Yun out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that she didn't suspect anything, he felt relieved.
