Xue Mian ran to the door of the private room, and the maid guarding the door said, "Third Master, I have something to tell you."
Xue Mian had just been stopped by the maid at Zheng Xiu's door, so he said impatiently with a fierce face, "What do you want to tell? I just came from Second Aunt, and she knows I'm here to see A Shao."
Recently, he did come to Xue Shao's place frequently, and Xue Shao didn't care about it, and often let him come and go freely. The maid didn't dare to really make him angry, so she stepped aside.
Xue Mian walked in, pushing the door and muttering, "Xue Shao, why do you close the door in broad daylight?" As he spoke, he pushed the door open and went in.
The slingshot in Zheng Yu's hand was already aimed at the pillow leaning against the door panel, and suddenly Xue Mian's loud voice came out. He was startled, and his hand loosened, and the marble flew out -
with a "puff" sound, the marble hit Xue Mian's face.
"Ouch!" Xue Mian screamed, and fell backwards.
The wet nurse followed behind him and rushed forward to protect him.
Xue Mian did not continue to fall, but his left eye went black, accompanied by a burning pain.
Zheng Yu and Xue Shao were both startled and ran forward.
"Xue Mian, what's wrong with you? Where did you get hit?" Xue Shao asked concernedly.
Xue Mian covered his eyes to prevent people from seeing, and said, "My eyes, ah, my eyes hurt."
This is a hit in the eye!
Xue Shao pushed Zheng Yu quickly, "Go tell mother quickly, and ask her to call a doctor!"
Zheng Yu knew that he had made a big mistake, and stood there in a daze. It was only after Xue Shao pushed him that he reacted, lifted the curtain and ran to the main house.
"Sister, it's not good!" He shouted as he ran into the house.
Zheng Xiu heard the noise inside and walked out quickly and asked, "What's wrong? Don't be anxious, tell me slowly."
Zheng Yu's face turned pale and said, "I, A Shao and I were playing with slingshots in the room, and Xue Mian just pushed the door in and got hit!"
"Who told you to play with such dangerous things!" Zheng Xiu was anxious and angry. She asked Ming Hui to ask the doctor in the mansion, and pulled Xue Shao to walk quickly to the compartment, "Where did you hit Brother Mian?"
Zheng Yu stammered, "It seems, it seems to have hit the eyes..."
Zheng Xiu staggered with fright. Being hit in the eyes is serious. Not to mention in this era, even in modern times, if the eyes are hit by something like marbles, there is no guarantee that it can be healed. If Xue Mian had a mishap...
the more she thought about it, the
more anxious she became. She simply picked up the hem of her skirt with one hand and ran over without caring about her image. When she arrived at the door of the private room, Zheng Xiu stood for a while, calmed herself down, and then went in.
Xue Mian had been sitting on the couch with the help of his wet nurse, but he still refused to let go with one hand covering his eyes, and kept shouting in pain. Xue Shao was anxiously running around beside him.
Zheng Xiu walked up to Xue Mian, squatted down, and said softly, "Mian'er, where are you hurt? Let your aunt take a look."
Xue Mian had already started to shed tears, and while crying, he mumbled, "My eyes, my eyes hurt."
Zheng Xiu quickly took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Don't cry, don't cry, you must not cry if your eyes are injured. "
It would have been better if she didn't persuade him, but after she did, Xue Mian burst into tears, "Aunt, am I going blind? I don't want to be blind, wuwuwu..."
Zheng Xiu and Xue Mian didn't have a very deep relationship, but Xue Mian often walked around her. When she heard him say that, she felt uncomfortable like needles were stabbing her in the heart.
"Don't be afraid, the doctor will be here soon. Our brother Mian is a lucky man, and he will be fine." Zheng Xiu coaxed him softly, "Be good and take your hand down, okay? The doctor will be here soon, and how can he treat you if he doesn't see the wound? "
Only then did Xue Mian sob and put down his left hand that was covering his left eye.
Zheng Xiu took a closer look and saw that Xue Mian's left eyebrow bone had become red and swollen, and there was also a swollen spot on his eyelid. His skin was fair and tender, and the redness and swelling were particularly shocking.
Ming Hui also hurried back with the doctor at this time.
Zheng Xiu stepped aside and let the doctor check Xue Mian's injuries.
The doctor gasped when he saw the redness and swelling on Xue Mian's eyes. The whole capital city knew that the Third Young Master was the eyeball of Princess Guihe. If he couldn't heal the injury, he would definitely not end well.
He didn't dare to neglect it, and calmed himself down and said to Xue Mian: "Third Young Master, let me take a look at the wound for you. It may be a little painful, please try to bear it. "
Xue Mian nodded and urged, "Let me have a look."
The doctor gently opened his eyelids and examined him carefully. After a moment, he finally let out a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his face, stood up and said, "The third young master injured his brow bone and eye socket, but fortunately his eyeball was not injured."
"Will that affect his vision?" Zheng Xiu asked hurriedly.
The doctor shook his head and said, "To answer the second wife, the third young master's vision should not be affected, but the injury is serious. If it is a little more crooked, there will be nothing we can do. "
Fortunately, fortunately," Zheng Xiu chanted "Amitabha" twice, and asked Minghui to follow the doctor to get the medicine. She walked out of the house and told Fen Ge to go to Changfeng Garden to inform Princess Guihe of the whole story.
Before, a maid beside Xue Mian had gone to report the news in the chaos, but Zheng Xiu still thought that after all, it was her thing that happened, so it would be better to let her own people explain the situation.
"Don't help A Yu to hide the truth, tell the truth, understand?"
Fen Ge responded, and hurried away.
Just now, the doctor was treating Xue Mian, and Xue Shao pulled Zheng Yu out. At this time, the two stood together and talked.
Xue Shao said: "Listen to me, go back first, my second aunt has a bad temper, I'm afraid she will get angry with you. "
Zheng Yu naturally refused and said, "I hit the man, I can't leave, I should stay and take responsibility."
Xue Shao was also a little anxious, "I gave you the slingshot, and I asked you to hit the door, the responsibility is mine. A Yu, go back quickly." He obviously wanted to get rid of Zheng Yu and bear the consequences alone.
Zheng Yu's eyes were burning, and he said firmly: "A Shao, don't say it, a man should take responsibility for his own actions!"
The two were in a stalemate, and Zheng Xiu, who was next to them, had finished talking to Fen Ge, and interrupted: "Don't argue, A Yu is right, he did it, he can't just walk away and evade responsibility."
"But my aunt..." Xue Shao said, "If she gets angry, what can A Yu do?"
Zheng Xiu took one of them by the hand and walked inside, "Of course they will be punished, and the punishment will stop until the princess stops being angry." Putting herself in his shoes, she could understand Princess Guihe's impending anger. Thinking back to when Zheng Rong almost blew up his brother's eyes with firecrackers, didn't he want to rush over and beat Zheng Rong up?
Minghui brought the medicine, but Xue Mian refused to let her touch it, and just screamed in pain.
Zheng Xiu took the porcelain bottle containing the medicine and coaxed Xue Mian softly, "Mian'er, can you let your aunt apply the medicine to you? I'll be gentle, and you won't feel so much pain after applying the medicine."
"Really?" Xue Mian was skeptical.
"Really, when has your aunt ever lied to you?"
Xue Mian then obediently leaned his head over.
Zheng Xiu dipped her fingertips in the ointment and gently rubbed it on the wound.
After applying the ointment, Xue Mian felt that the burning pain in his eyes was no longer so severe, and it finally subsided.
It had been almost two quarters of an hour since Xue Mian was injured, saw the doctor, and applied the ointment. Princess Guihe should have received the news long ago, but now there is no news at all, which is really strange.
Just as he was thinking about it, Fen Ge came back to report.
She entered the house, bowed and said, "Madam, there is a commotion in Changfeng Garden. The princess heard about the injury of the Third Young Master and fainted out of shock..."
Zheng Xiu heard and immediately stood up and said, "How is the princess now?"
Fen Ge replied, "I only know that the doctor of Changfeng Garden is treating the princess. I can't enter the house, but I heard from the maid that the princess has not woken up yet."
"Let's go, I'll go and take a look." Zheng Xiu said as she was about to go, and told Minghui, "Send someone to inform the Second Young Master and the Crown Prince."
One wave has not settled, another wave rises, and Zheng Xiu's mind is also a mess.
"I'll go too." Xue Mian jumped off the couch, put on his shoes in a hurry, and followed Zheng Xiu's steps. Xue Shao and Zheng Yu, the two instigators, naturally followed them.
What Fen Ge said was not an exaggeration. Changfeng Garden was indeed leaderless and in chaos. Especially since Xue Qin was out that day, Xue Mian was in trouble, and Princess Guihe was unconscious, there was no backbone. After
the female doctor came to see them, she looked solemn and said that her ability was limited and she still needed to ask the palace physician for help. Fortunately, the old nanny and Qiu Rui were not afraid of danger and asked someone to take Princess Guihe's card and deliver it to the palace.
When Zheng Xiu brought people to Changfeng Garden, the person who went to the palace to report the news had just left. Zheng Xiu
was the master after all, and the servants were so scared that they naturally did not dare to stop.
The female doctor, Qiu Rui, and the old nanny were guarding the bed.
Zheng Xiu entered the room and saw Princess Guihe lying on the bed with a pale face, so she asked, "How is the princess?"
Qiu Rui sighed, "The female doctor dare not make a judgment, nor dare to use medicine." The female doctor came from the palace and was taught by the old doctor in the palace. If she were not a woman, she would be fully capable of being a military doctor. Even she couldn't tell for sure, so the severity of Princess Guihe's condition can be imagined.
Xue Mian, with one eye swollen, fell to the bedside, pushed Princess Guihe and said, "Mother, mother, get up quickly, I'm fine, don't sleep, get up quickly and see me!"
"Third Master, the princess's condition is not stable yet, you can't do this." The old nanny hurriedly hugged her.
Xue Mian had already started to cry, and he stayed in the old lady's arms obediently without struggling .
