Carrying a Lucky Charm, I Thrive with My Husband on the Road to Exile
Chapter 106: Ignoring
Gu Kaichen had never seriously read a medical book and was completely at a loss in this situation.
Now pushed by his wife, he panicked further, "I’ve never dealt with wounds before; I don’t know where to start?"
"Then what should we do? We can’t just watch as the blood keeps flowing!" Xu Yulan saw this fool standing there dumbly, ignoring everything, and grabbed the previously wrapped cotton cloth, fighting her fear, and pressed tightly against the wound.
"Since you can’t handle it, quickly find someone who can," Xu Yulan saw Xu Huizhen’s face growing paler, and tears began to fall.
In the Gu Family, her aunt was the kindest to her. What would she do if she lost her aunt?
"Help, someone come quickly!" Just thinking about this possibility, Xu Yulan started to act hysterically, using her rustic ways.
"My mother-in-law’s wound has reopened, does anyone know medicine?"
Xu Yulan’s loud cries drew Gu Baijiang’s displeasure, "Kai Ping, go see what’s going on?
Women should prize gentleness and serenity; such conduct is simply disgraceful for a wife."
"Father, sister-in-law is also worried about mother." Gu Kaiping was also anxious; the one lying inside was the mother who raised him, and he couldn’t be as indifferent as his father.
"I understand your concern for your mother, but what does shouting so loudly solve?" Gu Baijiang lowered his voice, "Does our Gu Family’s reputation still matter?"
Gu Kaiping’s expression was complex, "Father, if there’s no doctor, mother might die because of this."
"But what can be done? It’s her fate.
If we were in the mansion, even the Imperial Physician, I could find a way to bring here, but her luck is unfortunate."
Gu Kaiping, "..." Didn’t he know why mother got injured? Didn’t he have any idea?
But the thoughts in his heart, he didn’t dare utter, he could only look at the car with a complicated gaze.
The commotion in the Gu Family was naturally known to the escorts; Liu Pingkang didn’t care about Xu Huizhen’s life.
He had already reported the matter above, and at most later, someone would document it more thoroughly.
"The wound didn’t reopen for the past few days; why did it reopen today?" Ma Zhi had his doubts. He had been watching over the Gu Family, worried those men in black might return.
Xu Huizhen hadn’t come out of the car since she got in, but after so many days, the smell inside the car grew stronger, and he tried to stay away.
"The journey has been relatively smooth, and the ox cart shouldn’t bump. I even heard Old Madam Gu energetically scolding people in the morning.
One possibility is it was deliberate."
Liu Pingkang’s words made Ma Zhi widen his eyes, "Are you saying a Gu Family member did it? Who could it be?"
Liu Pingkang, "Only the Gu Family knows."
"This family really has a lot of drama," Ma Zhi scoffed, "Boss, we might not reach the post station today, should we find a village..."
"Getting soft-hearted?" Liu Pingkang turned, looking steadily at Ma Zhi, "Do you think I am somewhat unkind?"
People like them out in the field must understand these things.
At least they know how to treat simple wounds, lest an emergency occurs, who would save them?
"Boss, I didn’t mean that; they’re not worth us stepping in.
I only thought that if Mrs. Xu’s life could be saved, she would definitely face off with whoever harmed her, it’d be quite a show." Ma Zhi didn’t dare offend Liu Pingkang, hurriedly explaining his thoughts.
"The commotion might be entertaining, but it’s not that good to watch," Liu Pingkang saw Ma Zhi’s still youthful face, too young; today, he’d play the good guy.
"We escort prisoners not just to complete tasks, but also to seek safety and smoothness.
Considering the Gu Family’s current situation, the journey won’t be peaceful.
Encountering such a family is always trouble.
Old Madam Gu is no easy character; if she really survives to retaliate, you’ll have a show, but if something unpredictable occurs, we’ll have trouble going back."
"It’s that serious?"
"Think carefully, and also stay vigilant on your side, especially with Old Man Gu; if those men in black approach him again, don’t foolishly charge in."
These youths were trained by him; it’s best they all stay safe.
"Boss, I understand."
Liu Pingkang glanced at him; hearing his quick agreement, he knew he didn’t understand a thing.
Bai Suihe was passing time learning to patch shoe soles with Dongmei, the three masters and servants chatting idly.
She naturally heard some noises from the front, but the Gu Family wasn’t approachable at the moment; carelessness might draw her into trouble.
Bai Suihe lacked many things, but she had self-awareness. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
She wasn’t the heroine of a breezy story, possessing martial arts or Herculean strength; she was just a normal girl trying to keep her small life, awaiting safe childbirth.
Especially with a female lead ahead, she had read many stories of those aiming big, sacrificing family wantonly; she wouldn’t foolishly charge to be cannon fodder.
"Miss, when we stop to eat, should we send some over there?"
"As usual, send two portions over." Bai Suihe didn’t care about this food; her efforts weren’t wasted these days. Their actions were visible to others.
In the future, if people use this to attack them, it depends on if they can silence the mouths of many.
"I wonder how the old madam’s wound is healing; Miss, do you want to visit today?"
"As usual, let’s go." It’s just a formality; Bai Suihe didn’t expect Xu Huizhen would want to see her now.
"Miss, your temper is too good; if the second young madam speaks sourly again today, don’t stop me." Chunxiang was upset seeing the indignities Miss had suffered at the Gu Family.
In the mansion, it was understandable, abiding rules and norms Miss must adhere to.
But now their situation has worsened, constantly oppressing Miss is excessive.
If not for Miss and Master’s foresight, preparing in advance, their life at the Gu Family would be unimaginable.
"She’s attending Old Madam these days, maybe more temperamental, let it be." Bai Suihe knew the story’s progression, it’d be better if Xu Yulan’s behavior clashed with the main house.
"Unless they’re too excessive, you don’t need to speak up for me; anger can harm health." Bai Suihe didn’t want her two maids holding anger inside, it could really cause illness.
The maids exchanged glances; Miss was too kind; they wondered when this non-competitive nature could change?
It seems they need to protect Miss more, ensuring no harm from the Gu Family.
