Chapter 189
Meanwhile, Le'an carried Yunxi all the way back to Jibai Residence.
Shen Rang sat on the second-floor corridor, holding a book in his hand, but his gaze seemed to pierce through the rain and fall on nowhere.
Soon, a commotion startled him: "Help! Help!"
"Boil water and give Auntie a bath. Hurry up!"
Shen Rang suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed on the person in Le An's arms.
It's Yunxi.
Her face was slightly purplish, and her black hair, soaked by the rain, clung messily to her face; she looked utterly disheveled.
She was so vibrant before she left, even snuggling in his arms and acting all cute and innocent. And now, after just one trip, she's like this.
Shen Rang casually tossed the book aside: "Go and fetch a doctor."
After saying that, he braced himself on the railing with one hand and jumped down.
Jing Yuan dared not delay and rushed out wearing a straw hat.
Le An only felt a figure land in front of her, and before she could react, her hand felt light, and the person in her arms had been taken away.
Shen Rang then turned around and headed straight for the bathroom.
Le'an strode after Shen Rang's figure: "Young Master, you must stand up for Aunt! When Aunt went over today, the Young Madam didn't even give her a place to take shelter from the rain, and just made Aunt stand in the courtyard. That's bad enough, but she didn't let Aunt go in for more than half an hour! That's why Aunt couldn't take it anymore!"
Shen Rang pursed his thin lips and strode into the bathroom.
Hot water is always available in the kitchen, and the bathroom is now ready and steaming.
Shen Rang skillfully removed Yun Xi's clothes. Fearing that her body couldn't withstand the sudden change in temperature, he didn't dare to put her into the hot water rashly. Instead, he used a handkerchief soaked in hot water to wipe her little by little until her body temperature warmed up before putting her in the water.
Seeing Yunxi's complexion gradually return to normal, Shen Rang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Shen Rang called Ji Xiang in and helped Yun Xi change into some dry clothes. Only then did Shen Rang have the mood to ask Le An to tell him what had happened in Liuyun Garden.
After listening to Le'an finish speaking, Shen Rang's expression didn't seem to change much, but for some reason, the room felt even more oppressive than the outside.
Just then, the doctor arrived, and Shen Rang told Le An to go back and led the doctor upstairs.
The doctor stepped forward and examined the patient, saying, "The fever is caused by wind-cold-dampness entering the body. Your Highness need not worry. I will go down and write a prescription for your concubine to drink, and the fever will gradually subside."
"Thank you for your trouble, sir. Best wishes."
Ji Xiang understood and quickly stepped forward to lead the doctor away.
After a while of preparing and decocting the medicine, Jixiang quickly brought over a bowl of it.
Shen Rang was not good at taking care of people. Even if he wanted to, he was afraid that he would not know how to handle Yun Xi properly and would make her uncomfortable. So he just watched Jixiang feed Yun Xi, and told Jixiang to take good care of her. Then he got up, opened his umbrella and left Ji Bai Residence.
No sooner had Shen Rang left than Le An arrived.
She had just drunk a bowl of ginger soup, and there were still beads of sweat on her forehead.
"The young master has left, and we don't know where he went."
Jixiang sighed as she looked at the wind and rain outside, which showed no signs of abating.
Le'an raised an eyebrow: "Isn't it easy to guess? She must have gone to stand up for her aunt!"
As she spoke, she sat down on the edge of the bed, her gaze falling on Yunxi's flushed face, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind at an inopportune moment.
Yunxi's dizziness was just right!
If Yunxi really stood there for more than half an hour and then came back safely, wouldn't she have suffered for nothing, while Yunwan would have been fine?
That's too lenient on her!
