Chapter 64 The second wife wants water? We won't give it to you even if we pour it out.
Yun Zhaoxue also felt that it would be too wasteful to pour the spiritual spring water directly onto the wound.
Soak cotton balls in water and gently apply them to the wound. The spring water has antibacterial and disinfecting properties, preventing the wound from festering and becoming inflamed, and promoting wound healing.
It wasn't that I forgot to give him the medicine at the city gate, which caused the wound to reopen; rather, it wasn't that I forgot.
It was intentional that they didn't let him use it. The spiritual spring water was too potent and would arouse suspicion. Xiao Xuance was not stupid; he was capable of commanding the three armies.
Xiao Xiuning walked over and said, "Yun Zhaoxue, quickly give me the water."
Yun Zhaoxue was displeased by the commanding tone and retorted, "Why should I?"
The two houses were far apart, and a group of people around them were chattering.
We can't hear anything from the second wife's side.
"Hurry up, Second Aunt is coughing to death, that's a living person."
Yun Zhaoxue scoffed, "That's your second aunt. What does she have to do with me? Are we that close?"
Seeing that she wouldn't give her any water, Xiao Xiuning looked at Xiao Xuance with pleading eyes and said urgently, "Third Brother, if there's no water, Second Aunt will die of thirst. She has whip marks on her body, and they're very bad. She's already fainted."
When the whip marks were mentioned, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Xuance's eyes, and his voice was indifferent: "The people from the second and third branches have already broken ties with us in the prison. We have no obligation to help them. You don't need to go over there either. Just sit here!"
Xiao Xiuning looked at her in disbelief, "Third brother, how could you just stand by and watch Second Aunt and the others die? They are our family. Blood is thicker than water, and even if the bones are broken, they are still connected by tendons."
"Mother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, do you have any water? Quickly, let me go be the second aunt."
When Yang heard her daughter's request, she softened and was about to hand over the water bag in her hand. There was not much water left in the water bag, only a small sip, and they were reluctant to drink it.
Yun Zhaoxue snorted lightly, "Hmph!"
Yang came to her senses, withdrew the water, and glanced at her cautiously.
She seems angry.
This daughter-in-law is not someone to mess with. She even said that if there is no water, we can ask them for some. She plans to ask for some more this afternoon.
If we give the water away, she'll get angry and won't give it to them anymore.
The thought of implicating her daughter-in-law and grandchildren made her hesitate; people are selfish.
Yun Zhaoxue turned her head, glared at the man beside her, and nudged him with her elbow.
In chaotic times, the Holy Mother is the first to be killed.
Once there's a first time, there will be a second. They're already struggling to take care of themselves, why would they help others? Or should they report Wu, the woman who reported her for having something in her belly?
She'd rather walk by herself; you don't want a teammate like that dragging you down.
Xiao Xuance asked, "If you were the one lacking water, would Mother give it to you?"
Absolutely not! They would even kick someone when they're down.
His words pulled back the last shred of pity in Yang's heart.
She shook her head and politely declined, saying, "Ning'er, there's no water around here. I need to give my water to Jun'er and the others, not to them."
If Xiao Xiuning wants a drink, she can give it to her, but she can't help others.
Xie Wanyun and Song Mingyan glanced at Yun Zhaoxue gratefully; their third sister-in-law was truly remarkable.
The water bag in Yang's hand was their and their child's lifeline. They were obedient and dared not contradict their mother-in-law. They were anxious but dared not stop her.
"Mother, you have always been kind and compassionate, how have you become like this now?" Xiao Xiuning stomped her foot in anger, forgetting that her knee was injured and she was wincing in pain.
Yun Zhaoxue continued to treat Xiao Xuance's wounds, pouring water from the water pouch directly onto the wounds in front of him.
The spring water mixed with fresh blood slid onto the ground, forming a small pool of blood.
She'd rather let it fall than let them benefit from it.
Xiao Xiuning, "..."
"You'd rather waste water than use it to save someone, how can you be so heartless?"
Madam Yang said to her daughter, "Ning'er, Xue'er is your third sister-in-law. You cannot be rude to her. Apologize!"
"Why? Why is it that every time we argue, I'm the one who has to apologize and back down, while I never apologize!"
Xiao Xuanwu, pale from his wounds, forced himself to say, "Fourth Sister, we're family. Why do you always side with outsiders and bully your own family?"
Hearing her mother and younger brother blaming her, Xiao Xiuning's eyes immediately welled up with tears. "How did I bully her? She's the one who bullied me."
Yun Zhaoxue concluded, "I used water to treat your third brother's injuries, and in your eyes it was a waste. Your second aunt's life is life, but your third brother's life is not life."
Xiao Xiuning hurriedly explained, "I, I didn't mean that. Third Brother isn't seriously injured, but Second Aunt is almost dead and desperately needs water to save her life."
Yun Zhaoxue said softly, "The injury isn't serious, but he's become a cripple, his body is weak, and if the sweat soaks the wound and causes an infection, it will kill him."
After applying wound medicine and bandaging the wound, she asked, "Are you sure this is your own sister?"
Xiao Xuance: "...It should be."
"Third Brother, what do you mean 'should be'? I am your own sister, don't you want to acknowledge me anymore?"
Yun Zhaoxue said, "That's the Changgui sister."
Xiao Xiuning pointed at Yun Zhaoxue and cursed back, "Ah! You're the one who's a traitor! I was so anxious that I forgot about Third Brother's wounds. I'm also very concerned about Third Brother. Stop trying to sow discord here."
The second wife's side waited in vain for Xiao Xiuning, so they sent Ye Hongying over to ask for water and wound medicine.
She stared at Yun Zhaoxue, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment: "The prince's wound reopened because you made him push heavy objects. You used the water he painstakingly brought to wash your face and treat his wounds just to make him continue pushing the cart. If you truly cared for him, you wouldn't have made him push heavy objects with his injury."
