The masters of the Prime Minister’s Mansion all tasted the freshness and praised Song Ci as if he was Shennong reborn, unparalleled in the world.
But Song Ci hadn’t had time to be happy before he received news that his youngest daughter-in-law had returned injured.
Song Ci immediately took Madam and Mrs. Lu to rush to Prince Dingbei’s Mansion.
Inside Prince Dingbei’s Mansion, Song Zhiyu was so angry that smoke seemed to emit from his seven orifices, pointing and cursing at Yuan Yi and the others.
"You’re supposed to be first-class guards, yet this bunch of people can’t even protect the master properly. What use are you?"
"Husband, don’t blame them." Niu Pan’er couldn’t help but defend the guards, saying, "I was the one eager to save someone, which led to this calamity. Actually, it’s nothing serious; the doctor said it will be fine with some rest."
"And you have the nerve to speak! Before you left, what did you promise? You looked me in the eye and swore you’d come back in one piece. And now? You’ve broken your word!" Song Zhiyu looked at her bandaged left leg, feeling an unspeakable sting, not sure whether it was heartache or something else, and said, "Saving people, saving people, is that person more important than you? Is it worth risking your life for? This time was lucky; what about next time?"
Damn it, he almost became a widower. This damned woman, bold beyond belief!
Everyone was stunned that Song, the Commandery Prince, dared to scold the Commandery Princess; they were wide-eyed, admiring his might.
And Niu Pan’er, well, she showed a flattering smile and said, "It was all an accident, an accident is something unexpected, so... I promise, there won’t be a next time!"
"A next time? Are you dreaming?" Song Zhiyu glared at her and angrily shouted at Yuan Yi, "What are you standing there for? Go quickly to invite the Imperial Physician. No, you go to Guixiang Alley to find that Iron Crutch Guy and ask him to come and set the Commandery Princess’s bones and apply medicine."
Yuan Yi: "Iron Crutch Guy?"
"He’s an ironclad doctor, very skilled in bone-setting and such, better than many doctors, and his use of medicine is excellent. Go get him to take a look first." Song Zhiyu waved his hand.
Yuan Yi thought to himself, Huang Lv, this ironclad doctor, can he really do it?
"Lord, maybe we should invite the Imperial Physician. The Commandery Princess’s status is noble; how can we use some unknown doctor?"
Song Zhiyu sneered, "Now you remember her noble status. Where were you earlier, allowing her to whimsically save others?"
Can’t afford to offend, can’t afford to offend!
"I once fractured a bone myself, and it was this Iron Crutch Guy who fixed it. In less than a month, I could walk slowly, so don’t underestimate unknown doctors. Haven’t you heard? Masters are hidden among the common folk!" Song Zhiyu snorted, "He just keeps a low profile and hides his talents and fame."
Even felt that the Commandery Prince’s words carried some logic.
Yuan Yi was even more surprised, realizing he wasn’t completely useless!
He looked towards Niu Pan’er and seeing her nod, sent someone to invite the so-called Iron Crutch Guy.
"Don’t be angry; I don’t feel pain anymore." Niu Pan’er tugged at his sleeve, feeling secretly delighted.
Turns out, getting injured has its perks, getting to see this side of Song Yulang.
"Why would I be angry? It’s not me who feels the pain. Serves you right if you are in pain!" Song Zhiyu pulled back his sleeve.
He didn’t know why he felt angry, just didn’t like seeing this person looking so sickly. She should always be full of life.
He must be going crazy!
"Oh well, let me be in pain then." Niu Pan’er sighed.
He picked her up and carried her into the inner chamber, then called maids to come and serve, as the Iron Crutch Guy would need to change her into clothes suitable for bandaging when he arrived. Follow current novᴇls on NovelHub(.)net
"Move gently, don’t touch her leg, or I’ll sell all of you!" Song Zhiyu commanded fiercely.
Niu Pan’er smiled with curved eyes, her heart warm and filled with affection for her dear youth.
