Feng Heming

Chapter 21

Jiang Yuanxi sat on the twig with a pale face, watching several medicine boys come and go, the copper basin in his hand was full of blood.

There was a fishy smell in the room, which was very pungent.

Not only Jiang Taifu was in this room, but Jiang Song and Zheng Youniang were also gathered around the bed, watching the doctor nervously.

Jiang Yuanxi felt very cold, as if his hands and feet had lost all feeling, the coldness pierced his heart.

She shouldn't have lost control of her strength just to show off, just to impress Qi Hongmao.

She shouldn't, fifth brother fell off the horse, it was her fault, it was all her fault.

She lowered her head, looked at her white and green hands, and watched her fingers convulse unconsciously, but a thought arose in her heart - she shouldn't learn everything!
If he didn't learn everything, Brother Wu would be fine, everything is her fault!

A beast that cannot be tamed is not a good beast.

Power that cannot be mastered will only harm others and oneself.

Under this stimulation, Jiang Yuanxi totally denied his past efforts.

"Teacher, Grand Master, Grand Madam, the blood on the fifth son's head has stopped, and the old man even gave him ginseng soup. As long as the fifth son does not have a high fever tonight, he will wake up tomorrow. The old man will be here Wait and see how the five young masters are doing tonight."

An old doctor in a plain robe said with a tired face.

"It's time for Dr. Hu, Fusheng, take Dr. Hu down and have a good rest."

Jiang Song ordered the housekeeper Jiang Fusheng to take Dr. Hu down to rest. After Dr. Hu left, the solemn atmosphere in the room eased a little.

"Boss, daughter-in-law, you send someone to take good care of Wulang. I still have unfinished business in the government office, so leave first."

Jiang Taifu told Zheng Youniang, when she came out of the inner room, she saw Jiang Yuanxi, stopped, came to her, and gently rubbed her head.

"Your fifth brother should be fine, you can take care of your fifth brother here."

Knowing that Wu Niang was feeling uncomfortable, Jiang Taifu simply asked her to stay here to take care of Jiang Boyong.

Jiang Yuanxi nodded, "Wu Niang knows."

When Jiang Song and Zheng Youniang came out, they also saw Jiang Yuanxi. Seeing her daughter's pale face, they looked at each other and sighed together.

Zheng Youniang stepped forward and stroked her daughter's shoulder, "Doctor Hu said, if your fifth brother doesn't have a high fever at night, this test will be over. You listen to your grandfather, stay and take care of your fifth brother, and pay attention to it all the time. If there is a situation, immediately send someone to find Dr. Hu, and then report back to A Niang."

"Well, Wu Niang knows."

After Father and Mother left, Jiang Yuanxi stood up and went to the inner room.

When she saw the back of a woman in a honey-colored dress, she paused.

"Aunt Chu, I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Jiang Yuanxi knelt down beside Aunt Chu, and said apologetically.

Aunt Chu stretched out her hand, patted Jiang Yuanxi's hand lightly, stopped her hand suddenly, grabbed Jiang Yuanxi's palm and said anxiously, "Wu Niang, why are your hands so cold? Are you suffering from the cold?"

Jiang Yuanxi looked at the woman's anxious face, his nose turned sour, and mist quickly gathered in his eyes, "I'm sorry, Aunt Chu, I'm sorry, just hit me, scold me, if it wasn't for me, fifth brother wouldn't be hurt of."

Aunt Chu took out her handkerchief, gently wiped away Jiang Yuanxi's tears, held her in her arms, looked at her sleeping son on the bed, patted Jiang Yuanxi's back lightly, and said softly:

"Fifth Niang, don't blame yourself. Auntie knows that you didn't think about it. No one would have thought that the arrow would pass through the bull's-eye, right? Your fifth brother will be fine."

There was a faint indifference in the voice.

It was as if the one lying on the bed was not her own son.

"Your hands are too cold, this is not acceptable. My aunt asked the maid to bring you a basin of warm water to wash your hands, and then asked Dr. Hu to prescribe you some tea."

In the past, when Jiang Yuanxi heard that Aunt Chu cared about her in every way, she would take it for granted, but when the fifth elder brother was lying on the bed not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and Aunt Chu still cared about her, she suddenly couldn't bear it.

Obviously Fifth Brother is Aunt Chu's son, he crawled out of her stomach, why should he care more about her than Fifth Brother?
She thought of the past, when Aunt Chu cared more about her than Fifth Brother when she was in front of Fifth Brother, how would Fifth Brother feel in his heart when he saw it?
Jiang Yuanxi suddenly felt that Fifth Brother was wronged, and at the same time felt that he was even more hateful, because most of Fifth Brother's grievances came from her.

"Auntie, I'm fine. Please take care of Fifth Brother. Fifth Brother won't be out of danger until tomorrow."

Jiang Yuanxi's lips twitched, and said softly.

Aunt Chu glanced at her son, and said in a cold voice, "Life and death depend on fate, no one can help him, if he can survive tonight, it means that his life should not die, if he can't, that's what his fate should be."

Jiang Yuanxi's eyes widened suddenly.

Is this really Fifth Brother's own mother?Why do you treat Brother Wu like this?

Jiang Yuanxi suddenly felt sorry for Fifth Brother, she slowly backed away from Aunt Chu's arms, looked at Aunt Chu with strange eyes,
"Aunt Chu, Fifth Brother is your own! How can you do this? Even Auntie cares about Fifth Brother more than you do!"

Aunt Chu was silent, and then spoke in a low voice, "Wu Niang, Madam is Goro's mother, and it is only natural that Madam cares about Goro."

Jiang Yuanxi shook his head desperately, and murmured: "It's not like that, Aniang didn't stop your mother and son from making out at all, it's not like that"

Aunt Chu took Jiang Yuanxi's hand, feeling that her hand was still so cold, she pulled it and walked outside, and when she went out, she ordered the maid to prepare warm water and Dingjing tea.

After Jiang Yuanxi drank the Dingjing tea without saying a word, he went back to the bed silently, put his hands around himself, rested his chin on his knees, and looked at Fifth Brother quietly.

Aunt Chu stood behind her, seeing her like this, she smiled helplessly, with a hint of pampering in her smile.

At night, before Jiang Yuanxi could heave a sigh of relief, Jiang Boyong developed a high fever, which was fierce.

Dr. Hu stayed in front of the bed all night to keep an eye on the situation, Jiang Yuanxi helped Aunt Chu feed the medicine, put a wet handkerchief on her forehead, and even Zheng Youniang kept watch all night.

Jiang Boyong's high fever subsided only after the cock crowed and dawn broke.

Seeing this, Aunt Chu immediately persuaded Zheng Youniang to go back to rest, and also wanted to persuade Jiang Yuanxi to go back, but Jiang Yuanxi clearly refused.

Until the sun was high, Jiang Yuanxi dozed off and looked at the bed from time to time. When she saw Jiang Boyong's eyelids twitching slightly, she shouted in surprise, "Doctor Hu, Doctor Hu, my fifth brother is awake, come quickly! "

The next moment, Jiang Yuanxi saw the young man lying on the bed open his eyes. The moment he saw her, he seemed to be taken aback, and then a complex look that she couldn't understand flashed across his eyes.

Then she heard Fifth Brother say something she didn't understand.

"Aren't you recruiting a son-in-law? Why are you here?"
