1117: Chapter 1117: Not Going to Die (3) 1117: Chapter 1117: Not Going to Die (3) In the wing-room of the back courtyard.
Dao Xuzi had applied medicine and bandaged Dou Xuemeiâs wounds, and the bleeding had already stopped.
Seeing Yang Ruxin enter, he couldnât help but purse his lips, âDonât worry, this person wonât die.â
âI know she wonât die,â Yang Ruxin nodded, âAnd she herself wouldnât want to die either.
However, Iâd like to know when she might wake up?â
âHow would I know?â Dao Xuzi gave Yang Ruxin a look, âIf someone wants to sleep, can I control that?â
Yang Ruxin snickered, âThank you for your hard work, Master.â Then she turned to Lin Xiwang, who had been following Dao Xuzi around doing odd jobs, âDonât forget to give Master a leg massage and a shoulder knead when heâs freeâŠâ
âDonât worry, Sister Xin,â Lin Xiwang giggled.
Dao Xuzi glanced at Yang Ruxin again and then ambled away with his hands behind his back.
Only then did Yang Ruxin turn to Mei Ping, âAre you her personal maid?â
Mei Ping nodded eagerly, âThis servant Mei Ping, is the young missâs maid.â
âNow that your young miss is injured, are you planning to leave or stay here to recover?â Yang Ruxin asked with a slight raise of her eyebrows.
Mei Ping looked up, surprised.
Why would Miss Yang ask such a question?
âIf you stay here to recover, then the cost of medicine, food, and lodging will all be on you,â Yang Ruxin said with a smile.
âSeeing as weâre relatives, I wonât ask for much, one silver piece per person per day.
As for the medicine, my master is none other than the famous Divine Doctor; we wonât ask for much either, just a hundred silver pieces will do.
You can decide whether to pay now orâŠâ
Upon hearing this, Mei Ping immediately grimaced.
Where would she find so much silver?
And even if she had it, she wouldnât dare to take it out.
Yet they couldnât leave either, for where would they go after leaving?
If something happened to her young miss, her own family wouldnât be able to live with themselves: âMiss Yang, as you see, my young miss got injured while trying to save youâŠâ
âDid I ask her to save me?â Yang Ruxin looked at Mei Ping with amusement, âAnd wasnât it you who brought Chai Huan with you?
If we really want to get into it, couldnât I report you to the officials?
Werenât you here to scheme for wealth and take lives?â
âNo, the servant didnât mean that.â Hearing this, Mei Ping quickly apologized in fright, âThe servant meant, could we perhaps wait for the young miss to wake up before deciding?
I really canâtâŠâ she said, then knelt down with a thud, âMiss Yang, I beg for your mercyâŠâ
âIs that soâŠâ Yang Ruxin stroked her chin, âSince youâve said as much, it would be unkind of me to turn you away now.
Very well, Iâll put it on the tab for now.
Weâll discuss it when your young miss wakes up.
Remember, if you try to default on the payment later, I will go to the Dou Family to collectâŠâ
âYes.â Mei Ping breathed a sigh of relief for the moment.
Yang Ruxin glanced at Dou Xuemei, who was lying on the bed, the corners of her mouth curling slightly, and then she turned and left.
Meanwhile, Dou Xuemei, who had been keeping her eyes closed, clenched the hand under the blanket.
This Yang Ruxin truly could not be dealt with using common sense.
So, what should she do?
She couldnât keep feigning unconsciousness forever, could she?
But if she were to wake up, what then?
She really hadnât thought it through, so she might as well just keep feigning for the time being.
Sanni stood in the courtyard, and when she saw Yang Ruxin come out, she hurried forward, âBig sister, hasnât she woken up?â
âIf she wants to faint, let her faint,â Yang Ruxin spread her hands.
âBut big sister, why save her at all?â Sanni frowned, âJust give her another stab and let her die.â
Yang Ruxinâs heart sank, and she looked at Sanni in disbelief, âMengmeng, do you really think like that?
Do you really want to kill her?â
