Chapter 237 Someone wants to kill her!
On the other side, Yu Wan anxiously helped Yun Shang back to the mansion.
Throughout the journey, fine beads of sweat kept sliding down her cheeks, but she was completely unaware of it.
At this moment, Old Man Feng was drying herbs in the yard. When he saw the two of them like this, he quickly dropped the basket of herbs in his hand and hurried forward to meet them.
Seeing Yun Shang's pale face and blood-stained clothes, Old Man Feng's expression instantly turned serious.
As he led the two into the house, he muttered, "How did this happen? How did they get injured like this out of nowhere!"
Once inside, Yu Wan helped Yun Shang to sit down by the bed and said anxiously, "Elder Feng, please take a look! He's been beaten twenty times and is bleeding a lot."
Old Feng squatted down and gently lifted Yun Shang's clothes, which were soaked with blood.
Looking at those shocking wounds, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.
The kid has delicate skin, and although his external injuries aren't extremely serious, they still look quite frightening.
Old Feng glanced at Yu Wan, who looked anxious, and muttered under his breath, "Tsk, that's really ruthless. Anyone who didn't know better would think they had a grudge against this body. Our delicate Lord Yun is suffering terribly."
Upon hearing this, Yu Wan immediately became anxious.
"Grandpa Feng, is he badly injured?"
Yu Wan's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were also a little red.
Looking at Yun Shang's bloody and mangled wounds, even though she kept reassuring herself that Yun Shang was the protagonist of this book, he would definitely be alright.
But the worry couldn't be stopped.
Yu Wan looked at her hands with red eyes.
She helped Yun Shang back, her hands and clothes stained with his blood.
The red was so bright and painful it stung her eyes.
Yun Shang saw the tears in Yu Wan's eyes, frowned slightly, and said calmly, "Elder Feng, please don't frighten her."
"Don't worry, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt."
"You've been beaten like this and it still doesn't hurt!" Yu Wan's voice choked with sobs, her eyes red and tears threatening to fall. "Who told you to take the beating for me? You still had to go to work, and now you're like this, how can you go?"
This was the first time Yun Shang had seen Yu Wan cry.
His originally calm expression couldn't help but show a hint of panic. He wanted to raise his hand to wipe away Yu Wan's tears, but his movements faltered due to the pain in his back.
He subtly lowered his slightly raised hand and said in a relaxed tone, "It just looks scary, but it's really nothing to worry about."
"Is that right, Elder Feng?"
He spoke even more gently in the last sentence.
Old Feng subconsciously looked up and met someone's threatening gaze.
He rolled his eyes and said bluntly, "It's serious, but you won't die."
He was scathing in his words, but his hands didn't stop either, taking out clean gauze and a bottle of medicine to clean the wound from the medicine box.
"I'll go get him some herbs. You use this medicine to clean his wounds."
Yu Wan nodded, took the medicine, but her hands trembled slightly.
She took a deep breath, poured the medicine onto the gauze, and carefully wiped his wound.
Yun Shang's body trembled slightly, his brows furrowed, but he did not make a sound.
Yu Wan could easily notice, but seeing him putting on such a brave face, she pretended not to notice anything.
After wiping Yun Shang's wounds clean, she quickly lowered her hands to hide her trembling hands.
Just then, Old Man Feng came in after preparing the medicine.
He had intended to have Yu Wan apply the medicine to Yun Shang, but out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Yu Wan's trembling hand.
He paused for a moment, then walked straight to the bedside as if nothing had happened.
He muttered under his breath, "I can't let you administer this medicine. You're not skilled enough, and you won't be able to get the dosage right."
Upon hearing this, Yu Wan breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious.
Her hands were shaking badly; if Old Man Feng had asked her to do it, she might not have been able to.
Old Feng skillfully applied the herbs evenly to Yun Shang's wounds. His movements were not as meticulous and careful as Yu Wan's, and Yun Shang couldn't help but groan.
Yu Wan watched anxiously from the side, and couldn't help but mutter, "Old Feng, please be gentle."
Old Feng thought to himself that the young couple's relationship had really progressed by leaps and bounds, and they were both so fond of each other.
He continued with the action he was doing.
"Yu girl, don't be in such a hurry. This boy isn't that delicate."
"This is already minor enough. If this injury isn't treated properly in time, it could lead to long-term health problems."
Upon hearing this, Yu Wan could only obediently shut her mouth.
After finally finishing applying the medicine, Old Man Feng straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "He needs to rest in bed for at least three days, and his diet should be light, avoiding meat, fish, and foods that may aggravate his condition."
"You need to wash and change the medicine on time every day."
Yu Wan nodded quickly, looking at Old Man Feng with gratitude: "Grandpa Feng, thank you for your hard work."
Old Feng disliked this kind of mushy talk the most, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, you two should take it easy. Just don't come running to me every few days with injuries all over your body."
Yu Wan responded obsequiously, "Yes, yes, we will remember your teachings."
……
Dali Temple.
Granny Sheng presented the complaint and evidence to Su Mu and took her statement. Su Mu then told her to go back and rest, and to wait for the yamen to summon her at any time.
When Miao Hong helped her out the door, the sun was already almost setting.
Grandma Sheng has been grieving over Sheng Rongxi's death for the past few days, and after a whole day of turmoil today, she no longer has the strength to even walk.
But she didn't want to worry others anymore, so she gritted her teeth and persevered.
But Miao Hong could easily see it.
But she didn't point it out. Instead, she asked the yamen runners to hire a carriage and carefully helped Granny Sheng into it.
Inside the carriage, Granny Sheng leaned weakly against the carriage wall, looking haggard, and said softly, "Miss Miaohong, thank you for your trouble today."
Miao Hong smiled and gently patted Granny Sheng's hand, comforting her, "It's no trouble at all."
"Don't worry, Grandma. With the young master and his wife here, they will definitely give your granddaughter justice."
Just then, a slight noise came from outside.
Miao Hong perked up her ears alertly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She reached out and lifted the carriage curtain, her expression suddenly changing.
This is not the way to Plum Alley!
She has lived in Shengjing since she was a few years old and is quite familiar with all the streets of Shengjing.
Although the alleys of Shengjing are interconnected, this one road will definitely not lead to Meizi Alley!
Miao Hong was filled with doubt and unease, but she forced herself to remain calm and said to Granny Sheng as if nothing had happened, "Granny, please close your eyes and rest for a while."
Grandma Sheng, unaware of anything amiss, nodded wearily upon hearing this and closed her eyes.
Miao Hong took a deep breath, reached out and lifted the carriage curtain a crack, seemingly to start a casual conversation, "Which car dealership does this gentleman work at?"
The driver seemed surprised that Miao Hong would suddenly speak to him. He reacted slowly for a couple of moments before saying without turning his head, "Jinshun Carriage Shop."
Jinshun Auto Service?
Miao Hong's face paled instantly, and she was almost immediately certain that this driver was not from Jinshun Car Rental!
There is indeed a Jinshun Carriage Company in Shengjing City, but just a few days ago, all the carriages rented out by Jinshun Carriage Company were refurbished, and the company will not provide carriage rental services for half a month.
Miao Hong glanced at Granny Sheng, who was completely unaware of what was happening.
She was just a maid; no one would want to kill her.
These people must be after Granny Sheng!
