Upon hearing this, Madam Chen gasped and asked, "How is Madam Li?"
The maid said, "Madam Li is fine; she just fell on the road."
Little Chen knew that although the scenery on the back mountain was beautiful, the mountain path was not easy to walk on. The monks in the temple had paved the mountain path near the temple with bluestone slabs, with steps layer upon layer. One side of the path was a hillside, and one could easily fall into the ravine if one was not careful.
Ms. Chen said anxiously, "How could you have fallen on that road? Oh, my daughter, what have you done to deserve this?"
Zheng Yunyun fainted from the pain and was carried to a side room, where she woke up from the pain again. As a girl, she had been pampered since childhood and at most she would prick her finger with a needle when learning needlework. She had never suffered like this before.
Zheng Yunyun was in so much pain that her face was covered in sweat. Little Chen took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Zheng Yunyun's forehead. She turned to ask Granny Du, "Has the doctor arrived yet? Quickly send someone to urge him again."
Du Mama agreed, put down the clothes she was about to change Zheng Yunyun into, and went outside.
When Ms. Chen saw that Zheng Yunyun's clothes were covered with withered branches and leaves, her delicate skin on her face was scratched by the dry grass and branches on the ground, and there were still some withered leaves stuck to her disheveled hair.
Tears welled up in Xiao Chen's eyes with heartache. While she was urging people to quickly change Zheng Yunyun's clothes, she wiped Zheng Yunyun's face with a handkerchief and picked up the dead leaves from Zheng Yunyun's hair with her hands, whispering, "Yun'er, hang in there, the doctor will be here soon."
Zheng Yunyun fainted from the pain and then woke up. When she woke up, she was sweating profusely from the pain in her legs and body. She cried and said, "Mother, Mother, it hurts so much, it hurts so much."
Ms. Chen quickly supported Zheng Yunyun's shoulders and said, "Good child, don't move around, don't move around, you can't move your injured leg."
Zheng Yunyun grabbed Xiao Chen's arm, her eyes unfocused, and said, "Mother, Mother, you must save me. I know my leg is broken. Mother, I don't want to be a cripple. You must have someone heal my leg."
Little Chen cried and said, "Good child, good child, Mother will definitely find someone to heal your leg. Don't worry, good child."
Don't rush, take a good rest.
Zheng Yunyun grabbed Xiao Chen's hand, panting, and said, "Mother, I really can't become a cripple. If I become a cripple, how can I get married? Mother, you must save me!"
Mrs. Chen patiently comforted him, "Good child, Mother will definitely save you. Don't worry, the doctor will be here soon."
The area near the Great Buddha Temple is the largest town on the outskirts of Beijing. There is a clinic in the town. After receiving the letter, the people brought by Xiao Chenshi immediately went to the town to invite a doctor, and they actually managed to find a doctor with very high medical skills.
When Granny Du reached the door of the side room, the doctor was being escorted by people from the Pingxi Marquis's residence, rushing towards them. Upon seeing Granny Du, the two servants who had gone to fetch the doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Granny Du, "Granny, the doctor has arrived."
Granny Du led the doctor towards the side room, saying to the doctor as they walked, "Doctor, our young lady fell down the hillside and broke her leg."
The doctor said, "As long as the internal organs aren't damaged, it's easy to treat."
When Madam Chen heard the doctor arrive, she quickly stood up from the bedside. After a brief examination, the doctor said to Madam Chen, "Madam, your daughter has only broken her leg. After I put on a splint, she will need to rest for several days before she can move."
Upon hearing this, Madam Chen asked, "Doctor, there's something urgent at home. Is it alright if we take the child back in a carriage?"
The doctor shook his head and said, "Madam, when you have a broken bone, you should avoid moving it around. For the sake of your daughter's leg, I hope you will stay here with her for a few more days. Otherwise, her leg may not be the same as before."
Ms. Chen said, "Doctor, please use the best medicine."
The doctor said, "Don't worry about this lady."
The doctor prescribed medicine, both for internal and external use. Granny Du arranged for someone to accompany the doctor to the clinic to get the medicine. Zheng Yunyun was relieved to hear the doctor say that her leg would be back to normal after resting.
After all the commotion, Madam Chen felt dizzy and lightheaded. Sitting at the table in the room, she looked at her daughter, who was still pale and in pain, and asked Granny Du, "Where is Boyun?"
Granny Du said, "Young Master returned to the capital early this morning, saying he had arranged to hold a poetry gathering with some students from the academy."
Madam Chen felt a surge of irritability. She grabbed a teacup and smashed it on the ground. She said to Granny Du, "Go, arrange for someone to bring him back to me. With his sister in such a terrible situation, how can he possibly be in the mood to attend a poetry gathering?"
