Right now, the best approach is to cut through the chaos swiftly, detoxify and bandage the wound speedily, as that will be the least painful way for Bai Mowan.
Her swift actions, however, displeased Xiao Jinxing, "Can’t you be a little gentler?!"
Ye Qichi paid no attention to Xiao Jinxing.
She didn’t know which eye of the dog Prince saw her handling not gently.
It was just a bit fast, that’s all.
Ignorant and narrow-minded.
Ye Qichi continued with the task at hand.
"Keep yelling, see if I don’t just stop!" Ye Qichi had her temper too.
She, the young mistress from the prestigious An’s medical family, in the apocalypse, only performed surgeries for those at the ceiling level of difficulty. For minor surgeries , that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could handle, let alone scolding, she wouldn’t even bother to touch.
This current doubting by Xiao Jinxing also annoyed her.
Xiao Jinxing was threatened by Ye Qichi, and held back from speaking further.
Ye Qichi did it with a hint of disdain.
Knowing full well they can’t "beat" her yet still provoking; isn’t that just self-degrading?!
The room finally quieted down.
After detoxifying the wound, Ye Qichi bandaged Bai Mowan.
After finishing the treatment,
Bai Mowan was in so much pain, she nearly fainted.
Ye Qichi said, "The wound on your back cannot be exposed to water before it scabs over. Carelessness may lead to infection. Don’t get out of bed today or tomorrow. Later on, you should move around appropriately to help blood circulation, which can promote healing of the wound. However, be very careful not to touch the wound when getting up, as tearing it open again would make recovery even harder."
Ye Qichi gave her instructions.
Xiao Jinxing didn’t respond.
After all, all he saw was the fragile Bai Mowan.
Ye Qichi didn’t repeat herself.
She was well aware that Xiao Jinxing just didn’t wish to acknowledge her, not that he didn’t hear clearly.
She covered Bai Mowan’s body with a quilt and said, "Miss Bai has sweated a lot. You can wipe down her body with warm water, which will make her feel more comfortable. Make sure the water doesn’t touch the wound. Tomorrow’s meals should not be too greasy, try to keep them light. You can instruct Pang Nan to prepare some fish soup for her to drink; fish soup is more conducive to the healing of wounds than chicken soup. Additionally, if Miss Bai suddenly develops a fever, it must be taken seriously as it suggests inflammation, which is very serious. Be sure to inform me immediately!"
"Where are you going?!" Xiao Jinxing spoke up.
Without turning his head, his gaze remained solely on Bai Mowan.
So, the bastard did hear what she said, he just didn’t want to bother with her.
"I am going to check on the plague patients," Ye Qichi answered.
"You’re not allowed to go!" Xiao Jinxing’s voice was cold and firm.
Ye Qichi didn’t want to waste words with Xiao Jinxing.
The only reason she followed Xiao Jinxing back was to treat Bai Mowan.
Now that the treatment was done, she had nothing else to do.
Without responding to Xiao Jinxing, she stood up and said, "It would be best for you to stay with Miss Bai tonight. If she’s going to have a fever, it’ll happen tonight. After tonight, there shouldn’t be any problems."
After leaving these words, she walked out directly.
Xiao Jinxing’s face visibly darkened.
Ye Qichi left the room.
All the servants were waiting outside the door. Ye Qichi gave them a few instructions and then asked, "Has Master Pang returned?"
"Lady Ye, Master Pang has left the estate and hasn’t returned yet. If you need to see Master Pang, the servant can send someone to deliver a message to him," the servant replied eagerly.
Ye Qichi thought for a moment, "No need, I’ll talk to him when he returns. By the way, which room is mine?"
Before leaving, she still needed to clean herself up a bit.
She knew without looking what a mess she must appear.
"Lady Ye, it’s right next door," the servant hurriedly replied. "Your room and Prince Chen’s room are right next door."
Her room with Xiao Jinxing?!
With Bai Mowan around, how could Xiao Jinxing possibly share a room with her?!
But it didn’t matter.
She wasn’t going to dwell in that room anyway.
Xiao Jinxing probably wouldn’t either.
So, she didn’t need to make another request to the servants.
"Bring in some hot water for my bath, and prepare some food for me as well; I’m starving. Prepare a lot," Ye Qichi ordered, then added, "When Master Pang returns, have him come to see me; I have matters to discuss with him."
"Yes, Lady Ye," the servant quickly went to prepare.
Ye Qichi moved her body and went to the next room.
