Chapter 504 - 504 Killing Two Birds With One Stone



504 Killing Two Birds With One Stone

The Lingzhi and the Gu Queen were both kept by Grandma. When he found out that they were going to use the Red Lingzhi that they had painstakingly obtained to save Helian Beiming, Grandma did not say anything and gave the Red Lingzhi to Yu Wan.

In the room, Old Cui drew the knife, stopped the bleeding, and stitched Helian Beiming up in one go. Outside the room, Yu Wan brewed blood tonic pills and Lingzhi soup according to Old Cui’s prescription. Other than the taste being bad, there was nothing wrong with it.

Yu Wan fed Helian Beiming medicine. Helian Beiming actually still had a trace of consciousness, but he could not completely wake up. There was a small amount of calming medicine in the medicine, so he fell asleep again.

“Go back to your room and rest first. Old Cui and I will guard Uncle,” Yu Wan said to Yan Jiuchao behind her.

Yan Jiuchao could not help much here. He nodded and returned to Old Madam’s courtyard.

Yu Wan heaved a sigh of relief. She was still worried that Yan Jiuchao was unwilling to leave. It seemed that she had underestimated Yan Jiuchao’s adversity quotient. The more muddle-headed this person was usually, the calmer he was at the critical moment. At this moment, if he stayed, he would not be able to do anything other than stare. It was better for him to return to the courtyard and have a good sleep. This way, at least one of them would have the energy to take care of the old madam and children during the day.

Yu Wan and Old Cui had been busy with Helian Beiming’s injuries. At dawn, Helian Beiming’s injuries were finally controlled. Next was to prevent postoperative infection. In Old Cui’s words, his medical skills were brilliant and there was no problem, but Helian Beiming’s body was long broken, so it was unknown if he could survive the critical period.

The two of them did not dare to leave Helian Beiming’s room. Old Cui casually put two stools together and lay down. Yu Wan guarded the bed, and the little snow fox jumped to the pillow and curled up.

When Helian Beiming opened his eyes weakly, he saw a little head lying on the edge of the bed. He slowly raised his hand and touched it. Yu Wan was woken up. She looked up at Helian Beiming and said in a daze, “Uncle, you’re awake? How do you feel?”

Helian Beiming’s chest hurt so much that it was about to split just from breathing. However, he only slowly smiled. “Very good.”

“What’s so good about it? It must hurt like hell.” Yu Wan hurriedly grabbed his wrist and took his pulse. His pulse was not much different from before. It did not improve, but it did not worsen. This was a blessing in disguise. “Uncle, don’t worry. The wound has been treated properly. You’ll recover soon.”

They couldn’t say anything like a critical period. After all, resisting the illness required powerful willpower and a desire to live. They couldn’t deal a blow to him now.

Helian Beiming was not a fledgling youth. He had already suffered countless injuries when he went into battle to kill the enemies, so how could he not understand his situation? However, since the little girl did not let him worry, he did not have to worry.

“I’m sorry,” he said suddenly.

This voice was extremely soft. It did not sound like it was directed at Yu Wan, but rather like it was muttering to himself. However, Yu Wan’s hearing was different from ordinary people, so she still heard it.

Yu Wan was stunned for a moment before she realized what he was apologizing for. He knew that they had used the Red Lingzhi. He felt that he had let Yan Jiuchao down. At that time, he should have had a trace of consciousness. He wanted to stop him, but he could not wake up.

Yu Wan held his hand like a little girl being doted on by her elders. Her eyes were filled with admiration as she said, “Don’t say that. If it weren’t for Uncle, we wouldn’t have been able to stay in Nanzhao anymore and wouldn’t have had the chance to obtain the Red Lingzhi at all.”

Helian Beiming’s dry lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he fell asleep again.

It was impossible to hide Helian Beiming’s injury from the Old Madam. After all, Helian Beiming had been eating in the Old Madam’s courtyard recently. If he suddenly didn’t go, the Old Madam would definitely ask. They could bluff her once or twice, but they would still expose themselves after a long time.

However, since Helian Beiming’s injuries had been treated, they could just lighten the situation.

“Uncle went out yesterday and encountered an assassin. He was slightly injured,” Yan Jiuchao said.

“Is it serious?” The old lady asked worriedly.

Yan Jiuchao said, “It’s not serious. He just has to lie in bed and recuperate.”

The old lady frowned. “Who is that assassin?”

Yan Jiuchao sighed. “I’m not sure. He escaped.”

After all, he was her biological son. How could Old Madam not dote on him? She quickly went to Helian Beiming’s courtyard with Yan Jiuchao.

Helian Beiming had just fallen asleep after drinking the medicine. She had long known that the Old Madam was coming, so Yu Wan asked Zi Su and Fu Ling to clean up the blood in the room and even used the medicinal fragrance and incense to cover the blood smell left in the air.

Helian Beiming lay on a clean bed with a circle of gauze wrapped around his body. His face was too pale, but the old lady was a little presbyopic. She could not see him carefully when she was close.

Yu Wan and Old Cui were both there. Seeing the Old Madam come over, the two of them stood up to make way for her.

The Old Madam sat down on the edge of the bed and touched her son’s forehead. She said anxiously, “Aiya, Doctor Cui, is my son alright?”

Old Cui said seriously, “In my opinion, there’s no need to bandage those small injuries! Why did you have to pick me up in the middle of the night and pester me with this and that! Do you think I’m very free?!”

Hearing him say this, the Old Madam was relieved. But she became worried again and whispered to Yu Wan, “Is your uncle really fine?”

Yu Wan smiled and said, “Of course, Grandmother. If something really happens to Uncle, won’t my husband and I be anxious?”

“That’s true.” The Old Madam nodded in enlightenment. After thinking for a while, she felt that something was wrong. “Then why isn’t he awake yet?”

Yu Wan smiled and said, “There’s a calming medicine in Doctor Cui’s prescription. One will feel sleepy normally.”

This sentence was not fake. There were indeed calming ingredients in the medicine, but Helian Beiming was weak because he had lost too much blood. No matter how effective the Red Lingzhi and blood tonic pills were, they did not directly transfuse blood into the body, so the effect would only be seen in a few days.

Fortunately, Old Madam was coaxed. She subconsciously did not want anything to happen to her son, so she was naturally willing to believe that what Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan said was the truth. However, just as Yan Jiuchao was about to send Old Madam back to Wutong Courtyard, the people from the West Manor unexpectedly arrived.

The young couple’s eyes turned cold at the same time. News from the West Manor was really fast. They had yet to say anything when the people from the West Manor came looking for them.

It was the Second Old Master and Helian brothers.

“Something happened to my uncle. Is it true?” Helian Cheng walked in noisily. He had a surprised expression and didn’t seem to be pretending. Helian Yu’s reaction was similar to his. The two brothers had heard about Helian Beiming’s injury and immediately put down their half-finished books and rushed over.

After all, they had lived together for so many years. It was impossible for them not to care about the other party at all. However, this care was limited. How could his uncle compare to his biological grandfather and brother?

Old Cui rubbed his eyes and said impatiently, “What are you doing? The patient has just rested. Don’t wake him up!”

Helian Cheng glared at him coldly and snorted. “Who are you to speak?”

Yu Wan said, “Doctor Cui is a famous doctor hired by the eldest branch. Cousin, please pay attention to your words when you talk to Doctor Cui.”

“Hmph!” Helian Cheng rolled his eyes. He wanted to say something, but Helian Yu stopped him.

Helian Yu gave him a look. The elders were all around. Why were they arguing?

“Aren’t you going to greet Old Madam?” Second Old Master said in a deep voice. The brothers obediently called her Grandmother. “And your big brother and sister-in-law?” The Second Old Master said.

The two of them reluctantly called her sister-in-law. Yan Jiuchao couldn’t even be bothered to look at them.

The Second Old Master walked to the bed worriedly and greeted the Old Madam. “Sister-in-law, is Ming’er alright?”

The Old Madam said, “He’s fine. It’s just a scratch. He’ll recover in a few days. Why are you all here?”

The Second Old Master said warmly, “Didn’t I hear that Ming’er was injured? I specially invited a doctor over to take a look at Ming’er.”

The Old Madam said, “There’s no need. Doctor Cui and Ah Wan have already seen Ming’er.”

The Second Old Master said, “This… It’s always good to have more people take a look. Doctor Liu is a famous doctor in the Capital who specializes in treating external injuries. Moreover, he’s quite proficient in the treatment of damage to the meridians. Why don’t we let him take a look at Ming’er? Perhaps he can recover from Ming’er’s old injuries.”

If he only said that he was here to treat Helian Beiming’s superficial injuries, the Old Madam would definitely not be tempted. After all, her granddaughter-in-law and Doctor Cui had already treated them. If she let other doctors interfere, it would seem like she did not trust them. However, it would be different if he mentioned the doctor could treat Helian Beiming’s old injuries. This did not conflict with their treatment at all.

Of course, this was from Old Madam’s point of view. If it were Yan Jiuchao, Yu Wan, and Old Cui, it would be another matter. Not to mention that Helian Beiming’s old injuries could not be cured at all, even if they could, why didn’t this doctor come earlier or later? He only brought this doctor into the manor when Helian Beiming was about to die. Was it a coincidence in time, or was he deliberately finding an excuse to expose Helian Beiming’s injuries?

The Old Madam was old. If she found out that her only son was so injured, how could she withstand it? And once something happened to the Old Madam, Helian Beiming would definitely not be able to recuperate in peace.

What a plan to kill two birds with one stone, Second Old Master.
