He Jiuniang studied medicine and had a better understanding of the human body than anyone else; she just hadn't thought about it in that way at all.
After realizing what had happened, she knew that her sundress might have had a significant impact on Lu Baichuan.
After all, Lu Baichuan is a normal man, a normal man who has been holding back for so many years, so it's normal for him to be a little sensitive.
However, she felt a little embarrassed at this moment. She gently lifted one corner of the blanket with her thumb and forefinger to cover him, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Um, calm down for a while, I'll show you later!"
After saying that, she turned and ran away. She didn't take the first-aid kit with her when she left; she deliberately left it here because she would be coming back later, and she couldn't escape the bone examination and acupuncture tonight.
Lu Baichuan didn't want to talk anymore. He closed his eyes to try to calm himself down, but his mind was filled with the images he had just seen. Not only did he fail to calm down, the images intensified.
Before the nosebleed could be stopped, he got up again and changed his handkerchief.
In short, I feel that life isn't so wonderful anymore.
He Jiuniang was not in a calm mood after returning home. After such a commotion, she probably wouldn't be able to drink mung bean soup. So she took a cup of bubble tea from her space and drank it iced to calm herself down.
The fault definitely lies with her; she didn't think things through, which is why she ended up hurting Lu Baichuan.
From Lu Baichuan's perspective, he didn't feel that since she was his wife, he should do anything to her as long as it was reasonable. Instead, he chose to endure it, which made He Jiuniang very satisfied with him.
You can tell he has feelings for her, otherwise he wouldn't have been trying so hard to get close to and please her these past few days.
Knowing that she wouldn't have many feelings for him after being away for so many years, he suggested sleeping in separate rooms and actively tried to cultivate their relationship.
He Jiuniang saw all of this, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.
I originally wanted to draw a picture, but my mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts, and I didn't get anything done. After more than half an hour, it was completely dark, and if I didn't get acupuncture soon, it would be the middle of the night before I could go to sleep.
So she went to knock on Lu Baichuan's door again.
Lu Baichuan calmed down by now, and both of them wisely avoided bringing up what had just happened, instead trying to stay calm and avoid causing any more embarrassment.
He Jiuniang quickly examined his bones and inserted acupuncture needles, then had a servant boil hot water for him to take a medicinal bath before hurriedly returning to her room to sleep.
My mind was a mess all night.
The next morning, He Jiuniang was woken up by noise outside. It was just dawn, and she should have been able to sleep a little longer, but when she heard Lou Chong and the others' voices, she couldn't go back to sleep.
She hurriedly got up, dressed, and went outside, where she saw Lou Chong and the others carrying Lu Baichuan out on a stretcher.
Lu Baichuan was able to walk yesterday, but he fell last night and it got worse.
To prevent them from having to be sent back shortly after arriving like before, Lou Chong and his team immediately arranged for a stretcher.
In the past few days, Lu Baichuan has lost all face in his life and has stopped struggling. He doesn't refute anything they say or do.
"What are they going to do?"
Seeing this, He Jiuniang walked over curiously, thinking that something had happened to Lu Baichuan.
Lou Chong hurriedly explained, "Sister-in-law, those guys in the cell refuse to confess and haven't been eating for the past few days. They're trying to starve themselves to death. Two of them have already fainted!"
They had never seen such a tough nut to crack before, and they had tried every kind of torture they could find these past few days, but to no avail.
To this day, he still refuses to reveal a single word and is determined to die.
They rushed over early in the morning, hoping Lu Baichuan would take a look and get some useful information out of him.
"Then I'll go with you."
He Jiuniang turned around and went back to her room. She quickly washed up and followed Lou Chong and the others.
He should have gone yesterday, but he had a fight with Lu Baichuan and didn't dare to mention it.
"Sister-in-law, it's so great that you can go! We've all heard about your ability to cut flesh without mortally succumbing, and we've always wanted to see it for ourselves!"
Lou Chong rubbed his hands excitedly. They had initially wanted to ask her to come along, but the boss said it was still early and she should sleep a little longer, so they didn't rush to call anyone. They didn't expect her to come by herself.
He Jiuniang smiled and said, "That was a method used in desperation. It's too bloody, and I don't really like it. I have other gentler methods."
Lou Chong and the others immediately looked at Lu Baichuan with pity, thinking that their boss's life would probably be quite miserable from now on, and he might be subjected to various forms of torture at any moment.
Lu Baichuan himself showed little reaction, and his emotions were not apparent, except for the two large dark circles under his eyes.
"Boss, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Shang Yifei had been holding back for a long time, but he couldn't help but speak up.
They knew that their boss and his wife slept in separate rooms, so it couldn't be for any particular reason, but the fact that he suddenly had such big dark circles under his eyes was really a bit funny.
Lu Baichuan glanced at him indifferently and asked in return, "Have you been free lately?"
It's one thing for him to come to his house for free meals, but he even dares to laugh at him?
Shang Yifei immediately shut his mouth, turned his head and walked properly.
At this moment, Madam Li came out carrying a food box and said, "Third Master, Third Madam, the kitchen has made some meat buns. Take them with you to fill your stomach on the way!"
"I'm actually a little hungry!"
He Jiuniang happily accepted the food box, surprised that they had gotten up so early to make breakfast.
It's definitely good to have more hands; before, it was just Aunt Xu alone who couldn't handle all the preparations.
And these servants were indeed honest and dutiful, which He Jiuniang liked very much.
He Jiuniang opened the food box, took two for herself, gave two to Lu Baichuan, and shared the rest with Lou Chong and the others. They had been exhausted from working on this case these past few days, and if they hadn't been well taken care of by the Lu family, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
For convenience, He Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan rode in a carriage, while Lou Chong and the others rode horses, but they traveled very slowly just to take care of Lu Baichuan.
The two stared at each other in the carriage, neither of them saying a word.
When they arrived, the meat buns had all been eaten. The food box was placed on the carriage, and He Jiuniang helped Lu Baichuan inside.
Seeing that his wife hadn't abandoned him, Lu Baichuan's mood finally improved considerably.
He must actively cooperate with the treatment, recover his health and appearance as soon as possible, and move to the main house to live with his wife so that he won't have to suffer like he did last night.
This was He Jiuniang's first time in a prison like this; it was just as eerie as the ones she had seen on TV before.
