Lu Hualiang raised an eyebrow.
Then, expressionless, he said, “The maids have all taken a holiday.”
“Taken a holiday?” Xia Weibao looked doubtful. “They were clearly here at dinner time.”
“After dinner. Housekeeper Fu felt that with college entrance exams in a couple of days, he gave the maids time off to accompany their children for the exam.”
Very good, that was a slick shift of blame!
The college entrance exam is indeed very important, a significant turning point in life that indeed requires full commitment to preparation.
Xia Weibao didn’t suspect anything and even thought that Lu Hualiang was quite humane.
“Then could you help me get a part-time nurse?”
“Do nurses not need to sleep in the middle of the night?”
Xia Weibao was in a difficult position, her brow furrowed into the character for “river”.
“Maid, nurse, what exactly do you want to do, making such a fuss just to sleep.”
Lu Hualiang was unfazed, a master who could certainly fool a lie detector!
Xia Weibao looked slightly embarrassed, “The injury’s on my back, I can’t apply the medicine myself…”
Having already obtained the medicine, Lu Hualiang’s heart leapt with joy, this was exactly the effect he wanted!
But would he reveal that?
All he did was give her a disdainful glance, “Troublesome.”
Then he walked over to the side of the bed and sat down, reaching out to lift her clothes.
Xia Weibao was alarmed, protecting her chest with both hands, ready to defend herself, “What are you doing!”
“Helping you with the medicine, hurry up, if you don’t sleep I still have to.”
He’s going to apply medicine to her?
What about her dignity?
“Can you do it yourself? Or should I call Housekeeper Fu to help you?”
She would rather not apply the medicine…
She reached for her phone, “I’ll call Xiang Chu to help.”
“Xiang Chu?” Lu Hualiang’s eyes slowly narrowed.
“Yes, he’s my apprentice.”
“Xia Weibao, you actually called a man to help you with your medicine!”
Xia Weibao frowned, did she just hear the sound of teeth grinding?
It must be her imagination.
“Xiang Chu is a doctor; in his eyes, I’m a patient, and patients aren’t distinguished by gender.”
“You’re a patient in my eyes too, and I’m your husband besides. It’s the middle of the night, is it alright to bother someone to rush over, don’t they need sleep?
I never thought you to be such a selfish person, hurry up, apply the medicine and sleep.”
Xia Weibao felt immensely embarrassed by his words.
Indeed, calling someone over that late would disrupt their rest.
But, to have Lu Hualiang apply medicine to her…
It felt somewhat awkward.
If this person were Emperor Xia Liang, it would be fine, but unfortunately, he was only a lookalike, not her Majesty.
However, Lu Hualiang didn’t give her a chance to refuse; he had already lifted up her clothes.
Xia Weibao felt helpless, “Wait a moment.”
Then, she reached out to unbutton her clothes from the front.
After unbuttoning, she immediately pulled the quilt up to cover the front.
Only then did she let Lu Hualiang help her take off the top.
“What’s the point of covering up? Who would want to look.”
Why did she detect a note of frustration? Was it just her imagination?
As the clothing was removed, Lu Hualiang looked at her back and suddenly felt his mouth go dry.
The back was a mess of wounds, blackened flesh with bits of new pinkish flesh emerging that looked particularly ferocious.
Yet, he felt his body grow warm at the sight.
It must be said, Xia Weibao had a great figure.
Her slender shoulders were adorned with two butterfly blades, her long back with clearly defined shoulder blades, her delicate waist barely a handful, with smooth contours on both sides leading to the curve of her hips, which stirred the imagination…
Plop, a drop of an unidentified red liquid suddenly fell onto Lu Hualiang’s hand.
