Chapter 71: Reappearance of clues
Hearing this, Qingwu's eyebrows curved into crescents, and he gently leaned his crutches against his hands without saying anything else.
With this crutch, and with a little trick, she didn't believe he would resist using it.
Just use it, stand up, move around more, and your legs will get better.
After bidding farewell to Xiao Ji and sending A Zhu away, Qing Wu went to find Zhao Tong and gave him a few instructions, asking him to stay away from Xiao Ji and help him less in order to stimulate him to walk.
Zhao Tong immediately refused, "Madam, your heart is good, but you don't know... The master's leg injury is extremely serious. He has only recovered for twenty days. How can he walk so easily?"
Hearing this, Qing Wu was stunned for a moment, "Is he seriously injured?"
She had seen Xiao Ji when he fell off his horse. Although his leg was broken, it should not be difficult for a young man of his age to recover. Three months should be enough.
While washing his feet, Qingwu also carefully examined his legs. The imperial physician's medical skills were excellent and he had handled the situation very well. Everything seemed to be recovering well, so why did Zhao Tong say it was extremely serious?
Seeing Qingwu's puzzled expression, Zhao Tong continued, "Madam, have you forgotten? Didn't the head of the Imperial Hospital declare that even if the master's leg healed, she would still be lame?"
Qingwu was startled. Xi Qingtong had never said this to her before. But after thinking about it, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Qingwu's lips.
How could Xi Qingtong be willing to tell her? She couldn't hide it. After all, if she told her, she would know that the husband she was going to change to would be lame, and she might not be willing.
However, the most important thing right now is not to worry about Xi Qingtong's concealment, but whether Xiao Ji's leg will have any sequelae.
But according to what she found out from touching the bones that day, although the leg was broken, it should not be shattered. It just needs to be reconnected. How could it be lame?
Qingwu also had doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to express her judgment. After all, she was "Xi Qingtong" now and shouldn't know these things.
Or was it that she wasn't skilled enough and made a mistake in judgment? At this moment, Qingwu thought of her grandmother again.
It would be great if grandma were here. Her medical skills are better than hers. She would definitely be able to give an explanation if she took a look.
Thinking of her grandma, Qingwu couldn't help but wonder if she was still alive. Although her grandma had always been in good health, she was very worried because there had been no news from her for four years.
Seeing Qing Wu's eyes were also filled with worry, Zhao Tong mistakenly thought that she was worried about Xiao Ji, and fearing that she would also fall into sorrow, he changed his words and said:
"Madam, don't worry. The imperial physician isn't a miracle doctor, so what he says may not be completely correct. You're right. It's good to ask the master to move around more. Maybe one day she'll be back to normal."
Hearing Zhao Tong's words, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Qing Wu's brows. She lowered her eyes to hide her expression and coughed lightly, "Yes, Liu Lang's leg will be fine. I'll go to the back first. Madam should be waiting in the backyard to teach me how to grow vegetables."
After saying that, he left in a hurry. Zhao Tong didn't think anything was wrong. He thought Qingwu didn't want to show her sadness in front of him, so he went to Xiao Ji and told him about this matter.
Of course, Zhao Tong did not mention Qingwu's instructions, but only mentioned Qingwu's inquiry later, and then he advised:
"Madam is so concerned about your leg injury. Master, you must not make her sad. This is what Madam asked the carpenter to make a few days ago. Please use it for a while. Don't let Madam down..."
But at some point, Xiao Ji's eyes fixed, he raised his hand and stopped Zhao Tong who was still trying to persuade him.
"Wait, you said, Madam is surprised by my injury?"
Zhao Tong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Xiao Ji fell into deep thought. Why would his wife be so surprised by his injury? If outsiders didn't know his condition, it would be fine. But she had been in the East Palace all this time, so how could she not know?
Xiao Ji's eyes were filled with confusion again. He asked Zhao Tong to repeat the conversation with him exactly as it happened.
Although Zhao Tong was a little confused, he still tried his best to recall and recount it carefully. After he finished speaking, he looked at his master who was still in deep thought, and his heart couldn't help but drop.
Is this what happened?
But then he heard his master ask, "Do you think there's something wrong with the lady?"
Zhao Tong scratched his head, thought for a long time, and said in a silly voice: "I... don't know."
Hearing this, Xiao Ji glared at him, then sighed helplessly, "Forget it, you haven't had much contact with the Madam...it's normal that you don't know."
He was also anxious, actually asking Zhao Tong such a vague thing. He should just leave it to himself and observe slowly.
So he changed the subject, "Where did the lady go?"
"Madam said she went to the back to learn how to grow vegetables."
"Push me over and take a look."
"good."
The despised Zhao Tong secretly vowed to observe his wife carefully to find out what his master meant by "something wrong".
Although he was complaining in his heart, he still obediently pushed Xiao Ji's wheelchair towards the backyard.
After walking around a rose bush, I could see the girl's back from afar. In the morning light, her jade arm holding the shovel was dazzlingly white. She was aiming at a piece of soil and pressing it down hard.
The two Zhu'er and Fugui who were surrounding her were so pitiful that they rubbed their hands anxiously and repeatedly advised: "Madam, please don't do this. Let the servants do these rough work..."
Xiao Ji couldn't help but frown. Why would a spoiled girl dig the ground? If she wanted to experience the joy of farming, she could just sow some seeds nearby...
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he saw Qingwu waving a shovel and turning over the first ridge of soil.
Xiao Ji's eyebrows raised instantly, and he saw that the thin muscles on his arms, which he thought were thin and weak, bulged, and it was obvious that he had some strength.
Zhao Tong was stunned by this scene and murmured, "Master, I have discovered that something is wrong with Madam..."
How could a lady from a noble family do such a thing?
