I'm already a concubine, who wants to fight with you?

Chapter 59 Healing
Many of the wounds on Lidie'er's body were cracked, and if they were not sutured simply, they would not be able to heal on their own.

Su Lu was confused by Xie Fei's instructions. She was not comfortable letting Li Die'er be alone with Xie Fei, but she had no choice but to obey Xie Fei's orders.

After hesitating for a moment, she left quickly.

Xie Fei had nothing useful in his hands, so he turned around and took the lamp on the table to clean the dust, which he would need to disinfect the scissors and needles later.

While waiting for Su Lu, she fetched another basin of water and wiped the blood off Li Die'er's body.

Inevitably the wound was touched, and Lidie'er twitched in pain and had to wake up in severe pain.

The dull eyeballs moved slightly in the eye sockets, and Li Die'er's eyes seemed to be covered with blood mist, and her vision was blurred.

It took her a long time to see clearly who was wiping the blood scab off her. Her chaotic brain gradually reflected Xie Fei's appearance.

"Thank you... little girl..."

Xie Fei was trying to pick out the maggots from the rotten flesh on her back, and said softly and comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, Su Lu will be back soon. When she gets the medicine, I will sew up your wound."

We also need to prepare Ma Fei San. Li Die'er is not Yuan San, and she can't withstand the forced stitching.

Li Die'er couldn't think too much at the moment, and it took her a lot of effort to understand that Xie Fei was really saving her.

"Why……"

Why save her?

She was a member of Miao's family, and Xie Fei was almost implicated because of Miao's miscarriage.

Shouldn't we transfer our hatred towards Miao to her, a lowly servant?

Xie Fei was concentrating on dealing with the rotten meat. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Didn't you also frame me in order to distance yourself from the matter?"

At that time, if Li Die'er admitted that it was Xie Fei who instigated Miao's miscarriage, it would be very difficult for Xie Fei to get away with it.

This child is kind-hearted, but too honest.

In this world, the more honest you are, the more you suffer.

Her body was in so much pain that Lidieer let out several extremely shrill moans and almost died.

Xie Fei chatted with her to keep her awake.

"I was also beaten like this when I was a child. At that time, everyone just watched and waited for me to die. Whenever I see what happened to you, I always think of myself at that time."

It was as if her childhood self was asking for help across time and space, falling to the ground in a pool of blood, saying miserably and sadly, "Save me, someone save me."

Really, it's hard to remain indifferent.

More than half an hour later, Su Lu came back panting. The maid who was usually so dignified and calm had her hair messed up due to running.

Xie Fei then told her to boil the medicine, starting with the Ma Fei San.

Xie Fei himself had to prepare for the suture, disinfect the tools first, and then quickly make some plasters.

Another two or three hours passed before the treatment of Li Die'er was completed.

The anesthetic effect had not yet worn off and Lidie fell into a deep sleep.

Xie Fei instructed: "She is particularly important during this period. If she shows any signs of fever, call me immediately. Also, in terms of diet, just eat millet porridge and egg custard, and avoid spicy, fishy and greasy food."

Su Lu wrote them down one by one, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I hope you won't let Miao know about this for the time being."

Xie Fei naturally understood this, and it would be best not to tell anyone except her and Su Lu to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The delay lasted until the afternoon, and Su Lu took Xie Fei to inspect the shops and manage the farm.

However, compared to the past, Su Lu, who would just stand by and watch, letting Xie Fei suffer alone, would actually quietly give him some advice.

Although Xie Fei was not stupid, he had never managed a household before, so many things had to be taken care of by Ye Lu.

Xie Fei was busy until the evening, and went to see Li Die'er again. Li Die'er had woken up, was able to lie on the bed, and barely ate a few mouthfuls of millet porridge.

Xie Fei took her pulse and felt that she was too weak.

"Millet porridge alone is not enough. Prepare some fish porridge for her. Remember not to use peppercorns, onions, ginger, and garlic."

Su Lu said, "I have been the housekeeper for a few days now. You should know that everyone in the kitchen, from the old lady to the servants, has a fixed amount of food."

It's not that you can give Li Xiaoniang whatever you want to eat. The data has to be recorded in the accounts. If it doesn't match, it will be difficult to explain.

Xie Fei said: "Then add it to my food and send it to her."

"Yes." Su Lu replied.

Li Die'er was also very grateful and murmured, "My dear, you treat me so well. How can I repay you?"

"Whether to repay or not, we'll talk about it later." Xie Fei was also tired, so he went back to his room after giving a few instructions.

Su Lu asked someone she trusted to look after Li Die'er, and she went back to the room with Xie Fei, where she made the bed and burned incense as usual.

Noticing that the incense burner had been extinguished by water, she asked implicitly, "If you don't like incense, can I replace it with potted plants?"

Some unclean things may be added to spices, but flowers and plants have natural and elegant fragrance and are not easily tampered with.

Xie Fei collapsed on the couch and said weakly, "No need for anything. I don't like it."

Su Lu nodded slightly and asked someone to move the incense burner away.

She continued to make the bed and said casually, "By the way, this little girl can actually be a doctor?"

Xie Fei put his index finger on his lips and said with a smile: "I also have leverage over Miss Su Lu, so let's keep this a secret between you and me, how about that?"

Su Lu looked at her quietly.

It was not until today that Su Lu discovered that Xie Xiaoniang's eyes were truly beautiful.

Although her eye shape is not that pretty, her gaze is so firm and clear, and flawless like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, making her whole person shine.

Bowing deeply to Xie Fei, Su Lu said, "Although I am a servant, I can still distinguish right from wrong and will definitely not put me in an unjust position."

From now on, she will never mention this matter in front of others.

The next morning, Xie Fei slept in for the first time in a long time, and Su Lu did not come to urge him.

She thought today would be quiet, but unexpectedly, Xiang Xiaoniang and others came as soon as she got up.

A group of concubines were sitting in the hall, chatting and laughing, looking very comfortable.

Xie Fei drank a cup of tea slowly and saw that Miao, Xiang Xiaoniang and others all had rosy faces and looked extremely healthy.

"I haven't seen you closely for a few days. You all look much better. Did something happy happen to you?"

Xiang Xiaoniang pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not a big deal, just eat well and sleep well, and you will be in good spirits."

Fang Qinrou, who was sitting at the bottom, also whispered, "Since Sister Xie took over, she has rarely made things difficult for us, and we are all living well."

Xie Fei gently put down the teacup and was about to speak when Miao scolded him, "What you mean by this is that the Madam has treated us harshly, right? Fang Qinrou, you little vixen, how dare you gossip about the Madam behind her back? Are you going to die?"

Fang Qinrou's face turned pale, and she immediately lowered her head, about to cry.

Seeing this, Xie Fei slowly tried to smooth things over.

"Speaking of which, is Sister Miao feeling better? I asked the kitchen staff to prepare a special meal for you these few days. I wonder if it suits Sister Miao's appetite?"

Miao had some reservations about her and always suspected whether Li Die'er was really bewitched by her, so her tone was quite unfriendly.

"They're all gone. You don't have to send me food every day to please me. I have my mistress to take care of me. I eat abalone, ginseng, shark's fin and fish maw every day. I don't need to be grateful to you for your little favor."
