This woman always puts on a cold and hard-hearted appearance, but in reality, she is more soft-hearted than anyone else.
But there was nothing he could do about her.
Could this be a case of one thing subduing another?
Before Feng Beichuan could dwell on it any longer, Li Chang'an turned around, grabbed her horse, and prepared to hurry back to treat its injuries.
“Chang’an, I’ll go with you! You’re still injured. How about I call a carriage to take you back? You can leave the horse to me too. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you get back to the General’s Mansion safely.”
Feng Beichuan quickly turned around, caught up with Li Chang'an, and stopped him.
Li Chang'an thought about it and felt that this was a good idea, because she felt that although her knee had not broken any bones, it was definitely injured quite badly, and it did hurt a bit when she walked.
"Young lady, let me take a look at your injury. You seem to be having some difficulty walking; I'm afraid it's not good."
Upon hearing the voice, they saw a petite and delicate woman walking towards them.
The woman was only about shoulder-length to Li Chang'an. She had a face like a peach blossom and a pair of slightly upturned phoenix eyes, exuding the gentle charm of a woman from Jiangnan, just like the impression she gave off.
The woman spoke in a soft, gentle voice, which was very soothing to listen to.
"Boss, can I borrow this chair for a moment?"
After the woman finished speaking, she turned her head and nodded to the owner of the wonton stall next to her to thank him. Then she took a small stool and placed it behind Li Chang'an, indicating that she should sit down. She then squatted down to prepare to examine Li Chang'an's injuries.
"No need to trouble you, young lady. I can just apply some wound ointment when I get back. Thank you."
Li Biao'an nodded slightly to the woman, his tone softening considerably.
This is indeed a rare and wonderful person.
Li Chang'an couldn't help but think to himself, "I wonder which family this girl comes from. She's not only kind-hearted but also has such good manners. She's really likable."
But to everyone's surprise, just a second ago Li Chang'an was silently praising the woman in his heart, but the next second he saw the woman frown slightly and say with a serious face: "How can you not take your injury seriously at all? What if you develop a chronic condition? Do you still want to ride a horse in the future?"
I never imagined that I would be lectured by such a seemingly gentle and weak girl.
Feng Beichuan was also dumbfounded, his expression even more surprised than Li Chang'an's.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Li Chang'an politely nodded slightly to the woman, then obediently sat down on the small stool.
This really shocked Feng Beichuan. He had never seen Li Chang'an be so cooperative with anyone, let alone a complete stranger.
Thinking this, Feng Beichuan couldn't help but feel indignant—considering how familiar he and that woman were, why was she still so distant towards him?
Seeing that Li Chang'an was no longer insisting on his own way, Liu Mengwan's brows relaxed slightly. She quickly checked the wounds on Li Chang'an's arm and knee, and then said softly, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go get the first-aid kit."
After saying that, she turned and left.
After Liu Mengwan left, Feng Beichuan's face darkened as he looked at Li Chang'an's injured knee.
This woman was injured so badly, yet she was still trying to tough it out?
"Does it hurt a lot?"
Feng Beichuan squatted down and stared straight at Li Chang'an's swollen knee. He saw that the skin was scraped and blood was seeping out. He felt heartbroken and at a loss for what to do.
"Thank goodness...you, you can stand up now..."
Li Chang'an's expression became somewhat unnatural. She couldn't help but frown and reached out to cover her legs with the hem of her dress.
A strange feeling welled up inside me; I felt it wasn't appropriate for a grown man to be squatting in front of me and staring at my legs.
What's more, this is happening on the street.
"Don't move."
After saying that, Feng Beichuan stood up with a solemn expression. Just then, Liu Mengwan returned, followed by a little girl carrying a medicine box. Judging from her attire, she was probably her maid.
Liu Mengwan walked up to Li Chang'an and squatted down again. She then reached out and took the medicine box handed to her by the maid. She opened the medicine box and took out some fine cloth for bandaging wounds and a small medicine bottle.
"It will hurt a little, but just bear with it, it will be over soon."
Liu Mengwan whispered a few words of instruction, then opened the medicine bottle and carefully sprinkled the powder inside onto Li Chang'an's wound.
"Chang An, if you can't stand the pain, just pinch me. If that doesn't work... here, you can bite my arm!"
Feng Beichuan watched Li Chang'an apply the medicine with a frown, his expression even more nervous than Li Chang'an himself. After speaking, he actually rolled up his sleeves and stretched his arm out in front of Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an was speechless for a moment, and said helplessly, "No need."
In fact, the pain during the application of the medicine was nothing to her, and she didn't even blink once from beginning to end.
"alright."
Liu Mengwan spoke softly, then skillfully tied a knot at the bandage before standing up.
The maid who had been watching over her immediately went over, knelt down to pack up the medicine box, and then left.
"Don't get the wound wet for three days, and don't engage in strenuous activity for seven days. Here, take this bottle of medicine. Remember to change it every day. Oh, and here's this scar removal cream. Apply it twice a day, morning and evening, once the wound has scabbed over, and it won't leave a scar."
After saying that, Liu Mengwan took out a small, exquisite box from her purse and handed it to Li Chang'an.
"Thank you. My name is Li Chang'an. May I ask how you should address me, young lady?"
Li Chang'an reached out and took the box, then solemnly nodded and thanked the other party.
"Liu Mengwan".
Liu Mengwan's answer was very simple, which added to her overall air of an ice queen.
"Judging from the girl's accent, she doesn't seem to be a local from the capital?"
Although Liu Mengwan's tone remained indifferent, it was surprisingly to Li Chang'an's liking, so she couldn't help but ask another question, and she didn't think the other party had done anything impolite.
Compared to those who put on airs, Li Chang'an preferred dealing with simple and genuine people.
"Our ancestors were from Suzhou, but we only moved to the capital a little over a month ago, so it's unlikely we'll be able to change our accent anytime soon."
Liu Mengwan smiled faintly at Li Chang'an.
Feng Beichuan raised an eyebrow slightly, pondered for a moment, and a glint of light flashed in his dark eyes.
Is it the Liu family of Suzhou?
"I wonder where your esteemed residence is located? I will certainly pay you a visit in person to express my gratitude when I have the time."
Li Chang'an's attitude was exceptionally sincere, and after this conversation with Liu Mengwan, she was even more inclined to become friends with him.
