Why wasn't he killed in Chapter 187?
“Mr. Yuan, you’re still being merciful. Does someone like that even deserve to have legs?” Lan Su picked up the last slice of lemon.
Yuan Hongqu felt her stomach and intestines twitch; Lan Su really wasn't afraid of acid at all.
The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and by curfew, the snow on the ground was already a foot thick.
Many people, both inside and outside the city, are worried, fearing that this snowfall will be like the one before the Lunar New Year.
However, having learned from the lesson of that snowfall, they had made preparations in advance and were no longer so panicked.
The reconstruction of the western part of the city is still ongoing, and most families have already moved into their renovated homes.
I heard that many families of high-ranking officials and nobles donated money to them, which is why the houses were able to be built so quickly.
If we rely on them themselves, I'm afraid the houses will be difficult to build.
I heard that the money was raised through a charity auction spearheaded by the matriarch of the Rongguo Mansion. She's such a kind person.
If this snowfall turns into another disaster, Grandma Rongguo Mansion will probably still help them, right?
Wang Xifeng, who was being talked about by everyone, still hadn't rested even after curfew.
Wang Xifeng felt that those who were housekeepers had a hard life.
They get up earlier than the crowing rooster and go to bed later than the guard dog.
They still have to put money into their jobs.
Wang Xifeng was furious at the thought of this.
One night, she woke up in the middle of the night thinking she had gone home.
When I looked, I found out we were still in this godforsaken place.
She was furious and slapped Jia Lian, who was fast asleep beside her, twice across the face.
Jia Lian woke up with a start and saw Wang Xifeng sleeping soundly. However, the pain on her face was real, so he just assumed it was because his dream was a little too real and didn't think much of it.
......
Tonight, Wang Xifeng will once again have a sleepless night.
Lady Wang was going to stay with her sisters and look after her nephew. The doctor said that as long as Xue Pan didn't have a fever tonight, he would gradually get better.
Aunt Xue was worried about her son. Even with a house full of maids and servants watching over him, she, as his own mother, still couldn't rest easy.
She needs to guard it herself.
Even if it was just for show, Madam Wang would stay with her sisters until midnight.
As the head housekeeper, and with both of these women being her aunts, Wang Xifeng couldn't possibly go to bed early since neither of them had gone to sleep.
Besides, even if she found an excuse to go back, Madam Wang wouldn't let her have any peace and quiet.
Today, she found a whole bag of ginseng alone. Later, she consulted a doctor and, having heard that the Duke of Qi's bone-healing ointment was good, she was asked to go and ask for the medicine herself.
After a busy day, Wang Xifeng thought to herself, "Why doesn't Lan Su just beat Xue Pan to death?"
Death is the end of everything, why not just bury them!
After all, the death of such scum is something to be celebrated by all.
Now that he's half-dead, he's dragging her down with him.
Sigh, I'll have to talk to Sister Yuan next time and ask Lan Su to be more efficient.
Xue Pan's broken leg was successfully reattached this time. He had been on the verge of death several times, but finally his fever subsided and he woke up.
Wang Xifeng had just gone back to sleep when she was woken up again.
"Grandma, the young master of the Xue family has woken up. Madam Xue said to quickly call the doctor in to take a look. The old woman at the second gate will only open the door when she sees your nameplate."
"You wake me up with something like this? What use are you to me? Can't you make your own decisions?" Wang Xifeng glared at Ping'er, annoyed.
She had just fallen asleep when that damned Jia Lian said it was snowing today and he was worried something might happen at their estate, so he went there overnight. Now she can't even find him to vent her anger when she gets home.
Wang Xifeng wanted to yell at a few people to vent her anger, but all the maids and servants in the room were waiting for her, and none of them were asleep.
She felt a little reluctant.
At this point, he couldn't take it anymore and vented his anger on Ping'er.
Ping'er had no complaints. She knew that her grandmother's temper had mellowed considerably in the past two years, otherwise someone would definitely have been bleeding tonight.
"Grandma, you said it yourself, if I need a license plate in the middle of the night, it has to be approved by you."
Wang Xifeng vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.
"Take the sign over and take a look. Whatever you need, bring it to them as well. You've worked hard tonight, so don't work tomorrow. Take a good rest. You'll have to stay up tonight. Make yourself some ginseng tea over there."
Ping'er accepted the order and went out. Although the wind was biting cold outside and felt like knives piercing her face, Ping'er did not feel cold at all. Instead, she felt very moved: Although her grandmother had been angry with her, she still cared about her the most. She had only stayed up for one night, and she was given leave and tea.
Xue Pan slept all day, and although his legs ached, he was surprisingly in good spirits.
It could also be due to consuming too much ginseng.
He had his bones set twice, and aside from everything else, he chewed two old ginseng roots.
Aunt Xue was worried that he would be in pain and unable to eat, so she would boil a strong ginseng soup for him to drink as water.
When Xue Pan woke up, his eyes were bloodshot. He felt like he had an inexhaustible supply of energy that desperately needed to be released, or he would explode.
However, this time the doctor was afraid that he would move around and cause the newly set bones to shift again. Therefore, apart from the splint on his leg, Xue Pan was wrapped up like a dumpling and tied to the bed board. Except for his fingers and eyeballs, and the fact that he could lift his neck slightly, it was very difficult for him to move anything else.
This idea came from Wang Xifeng, and surprisingly, the doctor said it was excellent and adopted it immediately.
Wang Xifeng's original intention in coming up with this idea was twofold: first, to get back at Xue Pan; and second, because she remembered the mess she had seen when she visited before, and the maids and servants who had been injured by Xue Pan, and that her family would have to pay for the losses.
If Xue Pan isn't taught a lesson, she really feels... she's paying this money unwillingly!
Three days later, the weather cleared up.
After the snow, the sun should have been shining brightly, and the snow was gradually melting away.
However, the sun after the snow was so scorching that the snow that had accumulated for three days was reduced to watery slush in just one day.
"Grandma, our family's invitations have arrived." Dressed like a phoenix, Wang Xifeng, radiant under the bright sun, arrived at Rongqing Hall holding a gold-embossed invitation.
His family had been waiting for the invitation from the Imperial Household Department for a long time.
Although they were not worried that they would not have a place at Daiyu's birthday banquet.
Wang Xifeng firmly believed that even if the Imperial Household Department did remove the Rongguo Mansion from the list, Yuan Hongqu would find a way to add it back. However, without receiving the invitation, she was still uneasy.
Because of the heavy snow, it wasn't appropriate to go to other people's houses to ask if they had received the invitation.
Fortunately, the snow had just stopped when the Imperial Household Department sent an invitation.
Their family was among the first to receive the invitation, which made Wang Xifeng very proud.
"Grandma, it seems the East Mansion hasn't received the invitation yet. Should we keep it a secret for now?"
