next day
"Ouch, ouch... My old arms and legs are killing me! I don't know if it was because of my sleeping position last night or what, but they hurt so much when I woke up this morning!"
"Me too! Me too! My body feels so heavy..."
"You guys too? I thought it was just me."
All morning, the Jiang family members greeted each other with complaints about their aching backs and sore waists from sleeping too long last night.
The servants were in pain all over, but they dared not slack off and busied themselves preparing breakfast.
With two huge dark circles under his eyes, the moment Mr. Jiang opened his eyes, he saw the delicate and beautiful concubine beside him. He immediately thought of how he had been beaten the night before, and was so frightened that he scrambled off the bed.
The concubine had just woken up and hurriedly asked with concern, "Master, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, don't come any closer! Don't come near me." Old Master Jiang rubbed his lower back and ran out quickly.
He hadn't forgotten his dream from last night, in which the concubine had beaten him the worst!
Secondly, there's his wife!
They were ruthless when they beat him up, daring to smash his knees with a fire poker, which really took his life.
"Hiss... Strange, why would I have such a dream?"
Mr. Jiang muttered to himself as he slowly walked over to prepare for dinner. Just as he reached the table, he saw that Mrs. Jiang was already seated.
Mr. Jiang shuddered at the sight of her, his knees still throbbing. Seeing Mrs. Jiang glaring at him, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Ahem... Um, why hasn't Yongqiang arrived yet? He's not even eating breakfast this early in the morning? It's one thing to be incompetent, but to not even eat? Does he have no regard for his health?"
The topic shifted to her son, and Madam Jiang, who also looked tired, perked up and asked the old nanny beside her, "Go and call Qiang'er over quickly. He can't skip breakfast. If he gets sick, only I, as his mother, will feel sorry for him. That old bastard of his father doesn't know how to care for his son!"
"Yes." The old nanny accepted the order and went to carry it out.
This old nanny had served Madam Jiang for many years and held considerable influence within the Jiang family.
Finding that Jiang Yongqiang was still asleep, she lifted the blanket covering his face. Just as she was about to wake him, a strong smell of urine hit her nose.
"Yue!" The old woman almost vomited from the smell, making a dry heaving sound.
The sound woke Jiang Yongqiang up.
"Help me, help me..." Jiang Yongqiang shouted in a panic, but before he could finish the sentence, he found himself back on the bed, with a strong smell of urine in the air.
Jiang Yongqiang quickly realized that the smell of urine seemed to be coming from below him!
He's already twenty years old, and he still wets the bed?
Jiang Yongqiang was shocked.
What shocked him even more was that he discovered that the people who served him in the courtyard, as well as the old nanny who served his mother, had all seen it!
Jiang Yongqiang felt his face burning, as if his skin had been thrown on the ground and stomped on.
"You, you are not allowed to tell anyone! Anyone who dares to tell anyone about this, I'll skin them alive!" Jiang Yongqiang threatened anxiously.
"Yes, yes..." Everyone quickly agreed, except for the old nanny who took the opportunity of gagging to secretly roll her eyes.
She was Madam Jiang's most trusted maid, and nothing could be kept from her!
When she got back, she was going to tell the madam that her young master must be a fool, that he was so old and still wet the bed!
How am I going to get married in the future?
What good girl could marry a foolish young master?
The old woman was filled with worry.
...
Jiang Yongqiang was helped to bathe and change clothes by others, and the old nanny had already told Madam Jiang about it.
"..." Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang felt dizzy. Last night she felt as if she was being paralyzed by a ghost, and now hearing this news made her feel even more uncomfortable.
"No, quickly send a servant to the pharmacy to fetch Doctor Wang!" Madam Jiang ordered.
The old nanny naturally wouldn't go herself, but quickly arranged for a servant who often followed Jiang Yongqiang to do evil deeds to go out and find a doctor.
"Why does the nanny insist on calling me today? I slept wrong last night and my neck is stiff. I feel dizzy and uncomfortable all over... Besides, I have to serve the young master later. If I'm sent out, who will serve him?" The rascal complained.
"I don't know what's wrong with you today, it's not just you little brat! Didn't you see that our master, mistress, and young master are all sick? The master is sick, why don't you hurry up and fetch the doctor? If you delay things, you'll be dead! None of the old or young in our family are easy to talk to, so hurry up and go!" The old nanny didn't care about anything else.
The man was unwilling, but he had no choice but to go.
I walked absentmindedly to the door, and as soon as I lifted my foot, I was stopped by the threshold and tripped.
He landed face down.
Her face was already unattractive, but God gave her a forced makeover; two teeth flew out of her mouth, causing her to fall and bleed profusely.
What was initially reluctant has now become extremely willing. The man quickly covered his face and ran towards the pharmacy.
He didn't care if the master or the young master were sick, but if he himself was injured on the face, he had to go find a doctor right away!
Early in the morning, it's the perfect time to sell breakfast. One breakfast stall sells fragrant meat wontons, which taste quite delicious.
This person hadn't eaten breakfast yet, their mouth hurt, and they were hungry. They thought that they could just swallow wontons whole without any problems.
As usual, he walked over and scooped a bowl for himself without saying a word.
