Chapter 5 Care
Xia Yanjing was thinking of his words when he saw the servant behind him open the door and look outside. Seeing that there was no one there, he quickly came to Xia Yanjing's side and whispered.
"Master, there's no one here right now, please sit down and copy."
Xia Yanjing was somewhat suspicious that Fang Yu was setting a trap for him. After all, this young servant must be Fang Yu's man, and he didn't believe that he could be so kind.
Seeing that Xia Yanjing didn't believe it, the young servant looked around and said, "Master, my name is Xiaozhu. Your father and I are good friends. I won't harm you."
Xia Yanjing was still a little suspicious. After all, they were not of similar age, so how could they be good friends?
Seeing that Xia Yanjing didn't believe her, Xiaozhu quickly said, "Master, I made a mistake and was punished before, and it was Brother Xiaohong who helped me. I really didn't come here to harm you."
Seeing that Xiaozhu's words were sincere and did not seem fake, Xia Yanjing, along with his legs being numb, sat down half-believingly. Only when he saw that nothing had happened did he feel relieved.
"Thank you, Xiaozhu. I wanted to ask if you knew what happened to the stone."
After Xia Yanjing came back, he was taken to the hall and then to the ancestral hall. He had received such punishment, and he didn't know what the consequence of the stone would be.
"I don't know about this, but I will ask someone to find out." Xiaozhu didn't say much, but he also knew that Shi Tou might be in danger.
Then Xiaozhu went back to the door to keep watch. If An Momo came to check and found that Young Master Yan Jing was slacking off, they would definitely be in trouble.
Although Xia Yanjing was worried, he was powerless at the moment. He hated his own incompetence and was unable to protect the people he wanted to protect.
Now he can only complete the task as soon as possible so that he can go find Shi Tou earlier and hope that Shi Tou is doing well.
Late at night, there was a light knock on the door. Xia Yanjing got up quickly when he heard the noise, but Xiaozhu signaled that nothing was wrong and secretly opened the door.
A man in servant's clothes walked into the door with his head lowered. When the door closed, the man raised his head and Xia Yanjing found that the man was his biological father.
"Dad, why are you here?" Although Xia Yanjing was very happy to see his biological father, he was a little confused about the purpose of his biological father coming here so late at night.
"Master, you shouldn't call me that. I'm just a servant in the Marquis' Mansion."
When Xiaohong heard Xia Yanjing calling her dad, her eyes instantly turned red. She thought he was useless and couldn't help her son.
"You will always be my father. This is a fact that no one can change." Xia Yanjing still insisted. After all, he was a model young man who had received nine years of compulsory education. How could he not even recognize his own father?
"My goodness." Xiaohong was so moved that she shed tears. She couldn't help but went forward and hugged Xia Yanjing.
Xia Yanjing patted his father's back comfortingly and asked with concern, "Dad, why are you here so late at night? Is there something important?"
"Jing'er, Daddy told you not to worry. After you came back today, the Lord ordered Shitou to be beaten with twenty boards. He is in great danger now."
"Dad, Shitou grew up with me. Please help me. I don't want to see anything happen to him."
"I've already privately used my connections to find a doctor for Shitou, but those people were too brutal, and the doctor's skills are limited. Although he was able to save his life, the doctor said that Shitou might not be able to walk normally in the future."
"Dad, there must be a way, right? As long as you can save the stone, you can take anything I have."
Xia Yanjing was heartbroken after hearing this. After spending many days together, Xia Yanjing had already regarded Shitou as his own brother, and Shitou was in this situation just to protect him.
"Jing'er, I'm sorry. It's Daddy's fault for being incompetent. The doctor said that if Shitou can be treated by a doctor who's good at breaking bones within five days, there might be a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, everything will be in vain."
Xia Yanjing was stunned for a moment. No, he couldn't let Shitou become a cripple in the future. He was still so young and hadn't married yet. All this was caused by him. He must do something.
"Dad, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Shitou for three more days. After that, I'll find a way to find a royal doctor to treat Shitou."
"Jing'er, even the Marquis can't easily invite the imperial physician in the palace, let alone us."
Xiaohong shook her head helplessly. For them, this was simply an impossible task.
"Dad, I have to try no matter what, otherwise I will feel guilty. Even if Shitou's leg cannot be healed in the future, I will support him for the rest of his life." Xia Yanjing said earnestly.
"Okay, Daddy won't stop you. For so many years, Daddy has never been by your side to take care of you. Daddy should thank Shitou."
After Xiaohong finished speaking, he was already calculating the money he had saved over the years. He would give all the money to his son and support him no matter what he did.
"Thank you, Dad. It's so late, you should go back and rest. Don't let the master's people find you." Xia Yanjing knew that his biological father was in a bad situation too. Although he was reluctant, they had to separate.
"Okay, Daddy will leave now." Xiaohong looked back every few steps as he left. If he was not worried that his arrival would implicate his son, he would be willing to stay with Xia Yanjing in the ancestral hall.
Xia Yanjing kept smiling as he watched Xiaohong slowly leave, without any eagerness. He knew that this was Xiaohong's reluctance to leave him, and he not only did not feel annoyed, but felt warm inside.
In modern times, Xia Yanjing is an orphan who struggles alone and has no family. Now he has a father and a stone who treat him sincerely, and he is very happy.
Shengxia's appearance flashed through his mind. If he could marry Shengxia, his life would be complete. However, Xia Yanjing knew that his status was too low and he was not worthy of Shengxia at all. Thinking of this, Xia Yanjing quickly shook his head and decided to be more realistic in his dreams.
On the other side, Shengxia rushed to Sheng Mansion as quickly as possible after leaving the palace. Shengxia saw Sheng Yuan sitting on a chair at the door from a distance. Shengxia knew that this was his brother waiting for him to come home.
Sheng Xia jumped off the horse with a swift movement, her eyes already moist. She quickly stepped forward, half-knelt in front of Sheng Yuan, and said in a tearful voice, "Brother, I'm back."
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."
After not seeing each other for four years, Shengxia has long lost the immaturity of four years ago and has now returned as a great hero. Sheng Yuan looked at Shengxia with eyes full of heartache.
"Brother, you have suffered. It's because of your incompetence." Sheng Yuan noticed the scars on Sheng Xia's hands and face, and pounded his disabled legs in hatred.
"Brother, don't be like this. I did this voluntarily. It's not your fault. I don't regret it at all." Sheng Xia held Sheng Yuan's hand and also felt sorry for her brother.
"Young Master, Young Master, don't stand at the door. Let's go in quickly." Butler Wu secretly wiped his tears and said to the two of them.
