Gu Chaoyan took hold of Sword One’s hands, stopping her from the next move. Then she patted her hands and consoled her, “I am fine. The two guards did not use much force. Don’t worry, what I need is to use some medicine when we come home.”
Sword One was anxious so she panicked, but Gu Chaoyan wasn’t that comfortable showing the wound in the wagon, since the wound was on her back.
Sword One felt like crying, but she did not do anything more.
She had just been panicking a moment, without realizing that they were in a wagon and her Elder Miss had her wound on the back.
Elder Miss might look like a cold person, but she was a person who got bashful easily. Although she never showed that clearly, her red ears had exposed her inner emotions.
Okay, so they would not check the wounds now, but Sword One still took her Elder Miss into her arms and said, “Elder Miss, then lean against me, so the bumping wagon won’t hurt your wound.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded and leaned against Sword One.
Five hits. The guards had spared their force too. She was thankful for those guards, who might think that it was not right to hit girls or just fear Zhou Huaijin’s existence.
In the meanwhile, she was getting worried too.
Well… It was about her physical conditions.
She was getting weaker and weaker. In the previous life, she had gone through ups and downs and even got seriously injured, but she had never felt so weak. She had gone through all kinds of lethal moments as well, and she was always in a proper condition.
However, now… she had thought that her own adjustment would work, and that for a long while, she should be doing well, but it seemed that after winter came she had not been feeling very well.
She got tired easily and she got small colds all the time. Right now, she was feeling terrible after just getting hit five times on the back.
The wounds could get healed easily since she had the magical water, but the physical condition of hers could not recover that easily.
She decided to pay some more attention to this too.
All the way to the mansion, she was frowning. When the wagon pulled over, she stopped thinking, took a deep breath, and got off the wagon with Sword One’s help. Sword One was worrying that Gu Chaoyan would collapse.
As they came to the inner chamber, Sword One said anxiously, “Qing, get Elder Miss a clean blouse.”
Qing hurried away to fetch the clothes.
Sword One helped Gu Chaoyan to lie down on her stomach.
Gu Chaoyan gave Sword One a medical bottle. “This is for the wound, put it on and the wound will be better by the following day.”
Sword One nodded.
The moment the blouse was removed for the medicine, Sword One burst into tears as she saw the wounds.
Elder Miss kept saying that she was fine at the wagon and she believed that, but the wounds were all over her back! Elder Miss must have been going through so much pain!
Sword One was afraid that Gu Chaoyan could not stand the pain. So she kept putting on the medicine little by little, as she asked with a small voice, “Does it hurt, Elder Miss?”
“No.” Gu Chaoyan answered. She had a much higher tolerance of pain than others – it was a result of training in her former life.
However, when the medicine was all put on, sweat drops appeared all over her forehead.
As she was wiping the sweat away, Zhou Huaijin came in and saw the wound on her back. His face changed directly as he asked, “What is going on?”
“A hit at the Government Office.” Sword One answered.
“I will make them pay!”
