After being rushed to the Murong residence that night, Aunt Guan worked hard for two days. She was finally relieved to see that Murong Bai could sleep peacefully.
Murong Feng and Shangguan Rushuang, who hadn't slept for two days, quickly gathered around, "Dr. Mei, how is my son?"
Shangguan Rushuang also looked anxious.
Aunt Guan waved her hand and said, "Although his emotions have stabilized, the damage to his Achilles tendons has lasted too long, and I am helpless to do anything about it. I'm afraid Young Master Bai will never be able to walk again!"
When Pei Feiyan locked Murong Bai in the dungeon, she not only bound his hands and feet with iron chains, but also severed his Achilles tendon.
Upon hearing that Murong Bai could no longer walk, Shangguan Rushuang immediately covered her face and suppressed sobs, "Master, Bai'er is the eldest son. What will happen if he can't walk in the future?"
Suppressing his grief, Murong Feng bowed deeply to Granny Guan and said, "Please, Physician Mei, you must think of a way! Save my son!"
Aunt Guan wasn't refusing to help, but medical surgery wasn't her forte, and she truly didn't know where to begin, yet she couldn't bear to do it. She quickly helped Murong Feng up, cupped her hands in greeting, and said, "Let me go back and think of a way. I'll write back to you in the next three to five days."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Rushuang quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "It's all our fault for being so anxious and talking all the time that we forgot to invite you to the table. The dishes are ready, Doctor Mei, please have something to eat first. Doctor Mei has been working tirelessly for two days and two nights to save Bai'er. You've worked so hard. Please, please, have some food."
Murong Feng also submitted a petition.
It was truly exhausting. Murong Bai's body was covered in deep and shallow wounds, some scabbed over, others still bleeding. For the past two days, he had been cleaned and stitched up, wrapped up like a mummy.
Murong Bai was suffering greatly from mental torment, becoming somewhat delirious and emotionally unstable, and unwilling to speak. Only after seventy-two silver needles were inserted into his head did he gradually calm down and fall asleep.
After two days and two nights of toil, apart from a few sips of strong tea to keep her awake, Aunt Guan couldn't take it anymore. She just wanted to go back and sleep for a day and a night. She hurriedly said, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite! There are still a lot of things waiting for me to take care of at the clinic. If there's any situation here, just call me anytime. I'll go back first."
At Murong Feng's signal, Shangguan Rushuang hurriedly went to the side to prepare the consultation fee. Only then did she lower her voice and say to Granny Guan, "It's a misfortune for our family to have such a shameful thing happen. Please, Doctor Mei, keep your mouth shut, lest the Murong family be ridiculed by the world!"
"Please rest assured, Lord Murong, I will definitely not leak this information."
After getting into the sedan chair and returning to the clinic, Aunt Guan fell into a deep sleep, only waking up when the sedan chair was alighted.
As soon as she stepped out of the sedan chair, she ran into a group of acquaintances returning from a meal. Lan Yamei quickly ran to Aunt Guan's side, hugged her arm, and asked with concern, "Have you eaten? You look tired."
"I haven't eaten yet, and I am indeed quite hungry." Aunt Guan was not polite to her own people and made no attempt to hide anything.
"I'll go, I'll go, I'll order food for Grandma." Wang Fengyang quickly took on the task and turned to run towards Zuixianglou.
After saying goodbye to Aunt Guan, the Liu family father and son went to the clinic to get busy. Zhao Zhicheng also had a few patients who needed treatment, so he said goodbye and went to get busy as well.
Seeing that Aunt Guan looked tired, the Qiu brothers didn't follow her and silently went out one after the other.
Grandpa Ouyang and Lan Yamei were left to accompany them, one on each side. Zuixianglou was very fast; the three of them had just sat down upstairs when their food arrived. A large bowl of white rice, accompanied by a plate of braised beef and a plate of braised tofu.
Lan Yamei said, "Yangyang, we have something to talk about in a bit, go back to your room and read."
Wang Fengyang knew this was to protect him, so he nodded sensibly and went back to his room to study the darts manual.
Aunt Guan drank the tea in her cup in one gulp, picked up her rice bowl and started eating, looking extremely hungry.
After Aunt Guan put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth, Uncle Ouyang handed her a cup of warm water, which she gulped down.
Lan Yamei hurriedly asked, "How is Murong Bai? Is there any news about Butterfly?"
Upon hearing this, a tear rolled down Aunt Guan's cheek. She quickly wiped it away before asking, "How did you know it was Murong Bai who came to treat you?"
"Hey! Just guessing!" Lan Yamei didn't dare admit that she had climbed over the wall of the Murong Mansion.
Aunt Guan was half-believing and half-doubting. She glanced around to make sure no one was overheard before lowering her voice and saying, "This matter cannot be told to anyone. You all must keep your mouths shut."
The two nodded quickly.
Aunt Guan sighed and gave a brief account of Murong Bai's situation. Besides feeling sorry for him, Lan Ya Mei deeply felt how powerless it was to be born into a wealthy family. She asked, "Where's Butterfly?"
"Butterfly is dead. They found her favorite necklace and a pile of rotting corpses in the burrow. It must be Butterfly." Aunt Guan sobbed uncontrollably.
Butterfly only fell in love with someone she couldn't love, yet she died so tragically. The hierarchy is truly a man-eating devil! In modern society, a talented and beautiful girl like Butterfly would certainly have a good life!
"Then, the remains?" Lan Yamei couldn't bring herself to say it. Should she ask for them back?
"That place has been burned down by the fire, so let's bury her there! It's a way of keeping her in the Murong Bai family that she always loved. Yesterday, the craftsmen brought back a lot of flowers and plants, and today they've turned Pei Feiyan's courtyard into a garden." Aunt Guan was heartbroken but powerless to do anything about it.
"Take a nap!" Grandpa Ouyang said tenderly as he massaged Grandma Guan's shoulders.
"I can't sleep, I have to go check on the clinic." With that, Aunt Guan tried to get up again, swaying slightly.
Grandpa Ouyang and Lan Yamei pressed down on the doctor at the same time, saying, "There's a doctor here, don't worry."
"Is there a doctor?" Aunt Guan didn't know that the distant cousin that Lan Yamei brought back was also a doctor, so the two of them gave each other a brief introduction.
