Chapter 704 Listen to Advice
The room was completely silent; even the Prince of Luo stopped drinking his tea.
Although Dr. Yan could not feel that dog hair had any insulating properties, Granny Fang's spirit of exploration was commendable.
"Going from nothing to something is a process; it cannot be accomplished overnight."
For the first time ever, the Prince of Luo spoke up for Granny Fang, but Granny Fang avoided his gaze.
"Take care of the wound first."
Lin Yuesha was very upset. Even if it was rabbit fur, why did they have to target dogs? Daqi doesn't have the term rabies, but that doesn't mean the virus doesn't exist.
Without a vaccine, all you can do is clean and disinfect the wound, and then leave it to fate.
"Your Highness, sob sob! I don't know which despicable scoundrel came to our manor's villa to steal, but he just happened to take Big Blackie's fur. Big Blackie ran to the water basin and saw it, and he was so sad that he couldn't eat!"
A servant from the Prince's mansion came to report, his voice trembling with tears, wiping away his sobs, "I fed Da Hei Zi his favorite meat bone, but Da Hei Zi wouldn't eat and seemed to have lost all his spirit!"
Daheizi is a dog that Luo Wang has raised since it was born. It has always been kept in the villa and allowed to roam freely. It is a puppy born to an old dog that has been with Luo Wang for more than ten years, and it is now five or six years old.
Luo Wang had a special affection for Da Hei Zi, and upon hearing that someone was pulling dog hair, he immediately stood up angrily.
"Granny Fang, did you do it?"
Prince Luo glared angrily at Granny Fang. Even with his good temper, he couldn't take it anymore. He stepped forward, snatched the vest, and tore it open forcefully, revealing a lot of black dog hair flying out.
This scene was so glaring, what else could the King of Luo not understand!
Lin Yuesha glanced at the amount of dog hair; Granny Fang had taken quite a bit, and since she was caught red-handed, even Lin Yuesha couldn't defend her.
"This old servant meant well."
Granny Fang looked miserable. She didn't keep any dogs in the manor, but she had always wanted to do experiments, so she set her sights on the dogs in the other courtyard. She even disliked the dogs because of their black fur. Who knew that the big black dog was the beloved pet of Prince Luo!
"Still trying to argue!"
Prince Luo pointed at Granny Fang, trembling with rage, "You insolent servant! You insolent servant!"
After waiting for a while, Da Heizi was led in by a servant, with half of its hair missing. King Luo became even angrier.
"When I was plucking the dog's fur, Da Hei Zi bit me. So I made a meat bun with some medicine on it. After Da Hei Zi ate it, he fell into a deep sleep. Then I used clippers to shave the dog's fur, making sure it didn't suffer any torment."
Granny Fang explained that she was wrong and did not mean it. Besides, Prince Luo also said that her spirit deserved to be commended!
"Pah! What kind of reward is this?!"
Luo Wang cursed out loud. So this unruly servant forced Da Hei Zi to shave his fur, and he was supposed to thank him? That was utterly outrageous!
He's so heartbroken that he won't even eat meat or bones anymore!
"Big Blackie is very intelligent. You shaved its fur so badly, do you think it will be happy?"
The Prince of Luo gave Granny Fang a good scolding and was about to punish her with a cane, but Lin Yuesha had to plead for leniency. Punishment was unavoidable, but could she at least work in lieu of punishment?
"Make that wretched servant clean the chamber pot!"
The King of Luo was heartbroken and could not be let off easily!
"How about this, since Granny Fang's hand is injured and she can't clean the chamber pot for the time being, why don't she take care of Da Hei Zi's daily life until Da Hei Zi grows new fur?"
Lin Yuesha tried to plead for her, and Granny Fang almost burst into tears. She thought it would be better to clean the chamber pot. Da Heizi sniffed, and then looked at her with a cold gaze. Granny Fang couldn't help but tremble.
Big Blackie holds grudges, and Granny Fang knew that the future would be bleak.
"Miss, please save this old servant!"
Granny Fang begged for mercy, but Lin Yuesha gave her a wink. She was usually so shrewd and calculating, but couldn't she use her brain? The Prince of Luo was about to leave the capital, and what would happen then would be up to her.
Lin Yuesha remained unmoved and continued to discuss the travel necessities with everyone, explaining the uses of the backpack.
The small pockets on the left and right sides of the bag can hold bamboo tubes, making it more convenient to get water.
Time was of the essence, and Lin Yuesha didn't have time to find a blacksmith to make a water cup, so she had to make do with a bamboo tube for the time being.
Of the group, Lin Yuesha was most worried about Yan Yan. The others were either men or experienced like Madam Xu. Only Doctor Yan was traveling far away on a fast horse for the first time.
Normally it's fine, but if it's a busy day, riding a horse is a real ordeal.
Privately, Yan Yan said to Lin Yuesha, "Sister Yuesha, you don't need to worry about me. I am a doctor and know how to use medicine. My period is just around the corner, so I took some herbs in advance to postpone it. It won't delay my trip."
That's exactly why I'm worried.
Herbs such as gardenia and scutellaria are too cold in nature. While they can delay menstruation, they can also cause menstrual irregularities and harm the body.
"You actually knew that?"
Yan Yan asked in surprise, "You asked Granny Fang?"
"No."
Lin Yuesha reminded Yan Yan, "Have you forgotten what you mentioned back at the girls' school?"
Yan Yan didn't remember what she said. The Northwest was in dire need of military doctors who knew how to suture, so she and Doctor Liao thought they should go as soon as possible without delay.
If we had delayed even a day, innocent soldiers might have died from excessive blood loss from their wounds; the foreign tribes are ruthless and insidious.
Seeing this, Lin Yuesha said no more. All she could do was prepare as much food as possible to make the group as comfortable as possible.
“Sister Yue Sha, I actually saw through Young Master Qi's mask a long time ago, and I even reminded you back then.”
Yan Yan was referring to the time in the North when, after Hongtao was injured, a pockmarked man with a big beard appeared in the courtyard, and Yan Yan saw him up close.
"It seems that this is indeed the case."
Lin Yuesha recalled carefully, feeling quite annoyed. Yan Yan had reminded her, but she misunderstood and thought Yan Yan wanted to get plastic surgery for her pockmarked face. What a lapse in judgment she had!
Lin Yuesha really wanted to hit herself; she was too stupid and clumsy, and Yan Yan couldn't handle her.
"I could already tell that he was different towards you back then. Now that you're engaged to him, you should pay more attention to him."
Yan Yan thought of her fiancé, who was framed and killed, but no one dared to expose the mastermind behind it, because that person wielded immense power.
Therefore, Yan Yan felt extremely relieved when she learned that Prince Luo had ambitions. She was willing to lend Prince Luo a hand, on only one condition: to exonerate her unjustly deceased fiancé.
"All we women ask for is a peaceful life, as long as he cares about us."
Yan Yan could tell that Lin Yuesha was deliberately avoiding the pockmarked face, and she still felt some resentment. However, her tantrums were useless and only made the pockmarked face feel disheartened.
A man's willingness to go to such lengths is enough to prove his sincerity.
"Sister Yan, I know."
Lin Yuesha listened to the advice and planned to have a good talk with the pockmarked man. However, as the departure date drew closer, she became increasingly panicked.
From the north to the capital, whenever she encountered a problem, the first person she thought of was the pockmarked man; she had gotten used to it.
Lin Yuesha came out of Yan Yan's room, and at the corner, a figure was standing next to a tree.
