"Iâm warning you, donât try any tricks on me, or this old woman of yours, and all of you, will die."
"The mother is bleeding, and itâs untreatable!" The Second Old Master of the Mu Family naturally knew why his wife would do such a thing, so he wouldnât step in to help.
"Since even such a simple ailment canât be cured by Uncle, you might as not practice medicine anymore, lest you harm others with lack of expertise."
A cold voice came from behind, and upon hearing it, Yang Chuxiaâs taut nerves finally relaxed, "Mu Shaoling, youâre finally here, hurry in and save Dongyang!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was the sound of cracking, followed by a flicker of shadow before her eyes.
Yang Chuxia looked over and saw that Mu Shaoling had already entered the room, and the Second Old Master of the Mu Family was grimacing, his hand hanging loosely with a few fingers seemingly broken.
The pain left him unable to even cry out.
Inside the room, upon seeing Commandery Princess Dongyangâs bloodless face, Mu Shaoling almost lost his mind, luckily he had arrived in time.
Without further thought, he immediately checked her pulse and applied acupuncture.
A moment later, the bleeding stopped.
The previously fainted Dongyang had also woken up, but at this moment, her forehead felt a bit dizzy, and her vision was blurry and unclear.
"Mu Shaoling, is that you?" "Yes, itâs me, Dongyang donât be afraid, Iâm here, Iâm sorry, for making you suffer so much." Mu Shaoling casually took out a few pills, "Take these first."
"Why are you only here now, why..."
"Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry I came late."
"Mu Shaoling, am I going to die?" Dongyang started to cry, "I can hardly see you."
"Donât be afraid, how could you die with me here?" Mu Shaoling brushed aside her sweaty hair. "Itâs alright now, you take a rest, Iâll go prepare your medicine."
"No, donât go!" Seeing him get up, she quickly grabbed his clothes.
"Be good, Iâm not leaving, just going to prepare your medicine, sleep for a while, I promise youâll see me when you open your eyes."
"Promise youâll keep your word!"
"Yes, I will keep my promise." He bent down to kiss her and only then did Mu Shaoling leave.
"How is Dongyang?"
"For now, sheâs fine." Mu Shaoling said gratefully, "Thank you so much for this time."
"No need for thanks between our two families, quickly go and prepare Dongyangâs medicine."
Mu Shaoling nodded and hurried to the pharmacy, not once looking at the people sprawled out on the ground.
When he finished brewing the medicine and entered the room, he met Dongyangâs wide eyes, evidently she was afraid he would disappear while she slept, and thus refused to let herself doze off.
"Come, drink the medicine." Mu Shaoling gently propped her up, speaking softly, "It will make you better."
"Are you going to leave again?" After drinking the medicine, Dongyang clutched him and asked, her eyes filled with grievance, worry, and a mix of emotions.
Mu Shaoling thought at that moment, he must be crazy to want to test their feelings for each other.
"Are you going to leave again?" Unable to wait for his answer, Dongyang asked urgently again.
Just as Mu Shaoling was about to say something, the sound of a headache-inducing voice came from outside.
"Oh, whatâs happening in the Mu Family? No need for such a special welcome, right?"
Before the Mu Family could answer, Prince Le turned to Yang Chuxia, "Madam Ye, youâve been here quite a while, itâs time to head back."
"Whatâs the rush? Sheâs not going to run away." Yang Chuxia snorted coldly, "Prince Le, you came just in time. Commandery Princess Dongyang gave birth to a daughter, yet these people sought to harm her in the chaos. You must see justice for Commandery Princess Dongyang."
