Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 218: Enduring the Injury is Like Enduring Torture

The doctor packed up the medicine box and re-splinted Jia She's leg, carefully tying each knot.

He stroked his beard, nodded with satisfaction, then slowly stood up and gave Madam Xing and Jia Lian a reassuring look.

"The elder master is in good health, but he should rest as much as possible for his leg injury."

"Don't do too many heroic things, don't move around randomly."

"It happens once or twice, but it won't happen three or four times."

"If it breaks again, I'm afraid it will become a habitual break."

"At that time, even gods would be unable to save the world."

When Mrs. Xing heard this, her heart tightened and she couldn't help asking, "Doctor, can the master's leg be restored to its original state?"

The doctor hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly:

"It depends on how you recover in the future. I'll come back in a few days to see how your injuries have recovered."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xing's face darkened slightly and she lowered her head, as if she had some new idea in her mind.

Seeing this, Jia Lian hurried forward, respectfully led the doctor out the door, and asked about the prescription as they walked.

At this time, Jia Cong walked forward slowly, bowed to Madam Xing, and said in a low voice: "Mother."

Mrs. Xing frowned and looked at Jia Cong. Seeing that he was alone, she asked, "Where is your nurse? Why don't you ask her to come and clean up for you?"

Jia Cong just lowered his head, remained silent, and was unwilling to say more.

At this time, Wang Shanbao came with Jia Yingchun.

Mrs. Xing thought it was just right and thought that all the concubines' sons and daughters could look at it together.

This saves me the trouble of greeting everyone one by one.

Jia Cong and Jia Yingchun, Jia She's illegitimate children, are a pair of deaf and dumb.

After performing the ceremony, he stood aside and would not move unless someone moved him.

I don’t know if this is the case with Jia She’s offspring, or if their mother is also like this.

It seems that only an honest concubine can give birth to a child?

Mrs. Xing had her own plans in mind and was not concerned about the education of her children. She just said calmly, "Go and see your father. He has suffered a lot."

There was a hint of indifference in her voice: "Go back after you finish reading. If you can behave yourself, our family will be at peace."

Jia Cong and Jia Yingchun did not dare to disobey. They walked silently to Jia She's bedside and stood there quietly for a moment without making any sound.

Mrs. Xing also has five other concubines serving her, and they all look a bit creepy.

It feels especially like a moment of silence.

After a moment's silence, Mrs. Xing quickly waved her hand and sent them away.

Before leaving, she especially gave Jia Yingchun some instructions.

"Second Miss, when you go to pay your respects to the old lady later, she will ask you how the master is doing. What are you going to say?"

Jia Yingchun was stunned for a moment. Normally, it was not her turn to speak when paying respects, so Tanchun took the lead.

But since the mother asked this, it was possible, after all, he was her father.

Yingchun looked back at Jia She, who was lying very quietly, and said stiffly,

"Father slept very soundly."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xing showed a satisfied smile on her face: "Good child, that's right."

"Remember, a good sleep is the key to keeping your body healthy."

"Your father just lacks rest."

It was rare for someone to smile at Jia Yingchun, so she was a little flattered.

Although I am the second young lady, no one in the mansion treats me as a human being.

He was born without a mother, and his father was not a virtuous man who often beat and scolded him.

Although I am a girl and have never really fought, I have been scolded so many times that I dare not say anything.

Now with Mrs. Xing's smiling face, Jia Yingchun also smiled.

"Thank you, mother, for the compliment."

Although Jia Cong is also a mud monkey with no one to take care of him, he also knows how to read people's faces.

He blinked and remembered these words.

Everyone who asks says that father sleeps soundly.

When Jia Lian came back from sending the doctor away, he saw everyone in the room waiting for him.

Several of my father's other aunts and maids were wiping my father's face, and another aunt brought clean clothes for him to change.

Mrs. Xing called Jia Lian very naturally, "Come and help? Help your father up and change his clothes."

“They don’t have enough strength.”

"Your father has always been very clean. These sweaty clothes are uncomfortable against his body."

Jia Lian was stunned. Wouldn't it be tiring to change like this while dizzy?

So he asked in surprise, "Mother, aren't you going to wait until father wakes up before changing it?"

Mrs. Xing glared at him, "You don't know your father's temper. He starts to get angry as soon as he wakes up."

"Just change it in advance while he's asleep, and then you'll feel comfortable when you wake up, and naturally you'll be in a good mood."

"It can also show your filial piety, and we who serve you can also get some benefits."

At this point, Mrs. Xing's eyes were like knives.

"Otherwise, when he wakes up, you will have to bear his wrath!"

When Jia Lian heard this, he felt that what Mrs. Xing said made a lot of sense.

I was also kicked and beaten and had a stress reaction.

"Mother, that makes sense. Change it now."

After saying this, he stepped forward, and the other concubines automatically made way for him.

Jia Lian sat down behind Jia She and supported his upper body.

Several concubines and maids were taking off their clothes or putting on their clothes.

Jia She's body was tossed back and forth, inevitably pulling his injured leg.

Jia She, who was in a coma, couldn't help but frown and cry out in pain.

"Hmm."

Every time he cried out in pain, Jia Lian felt that Jia She was about to wake up, and his hands would tremble.

His hands shook and the aunts had trouble putting on their clothes.

They wiped their bodies, changed their clothes, and put on and off clothes for a long time. Not to mention Jia She, even Jia Lian and several concubines who cooperated with him were tired and sweating.

Finally it was completed, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off their foreheads.

At this time, Madam Xing praised again, "Very good, from now on, follow this standard, wipe the body, turn over, and change clothes every three hours."

Upon hearing this, not only Jia Lian, but also the concubines were stunned.

Jia Lian asked in confusion, "Mother, aren't you too diligent?"

Mrs. Xing said confidently, "How can I be diligent?

"I think it's taking too long. I think it should be changed once an hour."

"In the past, your father was busy with official duties and had no time to clean himself when he got dirty."

"Now that I have some free time, I should clean myself up and take care of my body."

"What's the matter? After having you serve for a few days, you're already complaining?"

The other concubines dared not speak, so Jia Lian had to explain a few words.

"Mother, I usually have other errands to attend to, and it would be bad if I were delayed."

"Do you think this is feasible? Can I ask Cong'er to come in and serve you?"

Mrs. Xing glared at him, "How old is he? Do you think he can do the job he just did?"

"But as your stepmother, I naturally can't say anything to you. If you think it's okay, just let him serve you."

At this point, Mrs. Xing sighed, "It's a pity that I don't know whether your father can see your filial piety."

"If he wakes up, I don't know if I can help you get away with it. After all, everyone knows that I'm afraid of your father."

Having said this, Mrs. Xing wiped her eyelids with her handkerchief.

At this time, Jia She, who was lying on the bed, groaned and seemed to be waking up.

Jia Lian glanced at the bed and had to grit his teeth and agree.

Mrs. Xing smiled and said to Jia Lian, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. Just do your job."

"But now your father has to go to the bathroom again!"
