Chapter 337: Chapter 315: Delivering Medicine_1
After carrying Goose Warm Stones for a whole day, Daohua’s shoulders were unbearably painful that evening.
Wang Manman entered the room with hot water for washing and saw Daohua massaging one of her shoulders with her hand. She hurried over, “Miss, you should clean up first, and then I’ll give you a massage.”
Daohua didn’t refuse and nodded. After freshening up, she lay down on the bed.
“Oh, why is it so red?”
Seeing the two striking red marks on Daohua’s shoulders, Wang Manman exclaimed in surprise.
Daohua turned and put her index finger to her lips to shush her, “Shh, keep your voice down. Do you want to bring grandmother here?”
Wang Manman lowered her voice while gently kneading Daohua’s shoulders, whispered, “Miss, why don’t you stop carrying the Goose Warm Stones tomorrow?”
Daohua shook her head, “No, if I don’t go, then Xiao Yeyang will be all by himself, which will be too lonely.”
Wang Manman fell silent for a moment, “Then… then carry less with you.”
Daohua laughed, “I’m already carrying very little. You know how sensitive my skin is, it turns red at the slightest touch. It looks scary, but it’s not so painful.”
“But Xiao Yeyang, he always carries a full load. I took a look, and the ropes are so tightly wrapped around his shoulders, he must be suffering terribly today.”
Wang Manman sighed, “I don’t know why Master Gu has the Little Prince working on the road himself. Wouldn’t it be faster to have someone else do it? Why make it hard for him?”
Daohua didn’t respond; her master just wasn’t feeling good inside, still hung up on the Gu Family’s house being burned. Unable to settle accounts with Prince An Jing, he could only take it out on Xiao Yeyang.
Thinking this way, Daohua felt even sorrier for Xiao Yeyang.
Unable to win Prince An Jing’s favor, yet he had to carry the debts Prince owed.
Thinking about it, she truly felt stifled for him.
“Poor child!”
Just then, a call from Lady Yan came from next door, and Daohua immediately sent Wang Manman to check.
Soon, Wang Manman came back and said, “Miss, grandmother wants to bathe, I need to help her fetch water. I’ll come back later to massage your shoulders.”
Daohua waved her off, “Grandmother’s needs are more important. Don’t worry about my shoulder; you go.”
Once Wang Manman left, Daohua lay on the bed and closed her eyes, intending to fall asleep quickly, but the burning pain in her shoulder was uncomfortable, forcing her to get up to apply some medicine.
After applying the medicine, Daohua felt much better. She put down the medicine bottle and was ready to go back to sleep. However, after only a couple of steps, she stopped, “Xiao Yeyang came in such a rush this time. Did he bring any medicine with him?”
With that thought, Daohua walked to the clothes rack, dressed again, picked up the medicine from the table, and left the room.
…
“Master, bear with it a bit, this servant will fetch some hot water to soothe it.”
Just as Daohua stepped into the courtyard, she saw Defu hurrying toward the kitchen. Seeing that Xiao Yeyang’s room door was open, she walked straight in.
“Xiao Yeyang!”
Xiao Yeyang, who was shirtless and lying on the bed, heard Daohua’s voice and quickly tried to get up, reaching for his clothes. But then he saw Daohua entering the room.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang without a shirt, Daohua froze.
And Xiao Yeyang, taken aback by Daohua’s sudden entry, was also stunned.
The room fell into silence.
There were no screams as expected, nor was there a shy covering of the face to flee. Seeing Daohua staring at him with wide eyes, Xiao Yeyang’s neck and ears reddened visibly.
He quickly grabbed his shirt and put it on haphazardly. Only then did Xiao Yeyang glare at Daohua, lowering his voice to ask, “Why are you here in my room?”
