Rebirth Of The General’s Granddaughter
chapter-118

He shrieked and howled, “Ah!…… Ye is going to die from pain!……”

His shouts scared the people outside. Looking at the vomiting maidservants, the already discontented Duke Yongnan glared at them with knives in his eyes. He strode into the room. “What is it? Does the wound hurt, Xiang’er?”

Zi You shook her head and feigned pity as she said, “How can it not hurt? It’s rotten to such an extent, but the maidservants were afraid of dirtying their hands so they were clumsy. If it isn’t that men and women should maintain distance…… You’er would have personally removed the cotton bandages. Duke, with such a big rotting hole, if the necrotic flesh isn’t removed and the pus isn’t drained, Shizi gege’s leg will be wasted. The necrotic virus might even enter the bloodstream and lead to toxemia. This is what caused Shizi gege’s fever. Shizi gege will not get better if the necrotic flesh is not cut off. Moreover, from the current depth of the wound, it has already rotted to the bone. You’er is afraid that even if the necrotic flesh is cut off, Shizi gege will be lame.”

“I don’t want that…… You’er, I beg you to save me,” Zhao HongXiang shrieked and howled. Tears and snot flowed together.

Old General Mu frowned and was black-belly. How useless. That much pain and he yells this much. He can’t even compare to that dandy Shangguan LingRan. He was so heavily injured, but remained silent every time his dressing was changed.

Duke Yongnan did not care about what Old General Mu was thinking at this time. He thought about the imperial doctor’s words. “Shizi Ye’s injury is really strange. It’s supposed to be a sore, but it has been treated internally and externally for such a long period of time. It not only is not getting better, but the wound is rotting deeper?”

One imperial doctor came and said that. Two came and said that. Finally, they couldn’t treat it and refused to come. “Duke, it’s not that this official doesn’t want to go to your fu to treat Shizi Ye, but this official’s medical skills are not up to par and cannot treat it. This official does not know what kind of sore Shizi Ye has. It is a difficult case. Please seek a better qualified doctor, Duke.”

A better qualified doctor. A better qualified doctor. If an imperial doctor couldn’t treat it, where was he going to find a better qualified doctor? Wasn’t this asking him to watch his son die?

Since then, Duke Yongnan was anxiously looking for doctors everywhere. With the idea that he had nothing else to lose, he made his final decision.

He stomped his foot and gritted his teeth as he said to Zi You, “Treat him however you think he should be treated. No matter what, Uncle [polite address] won’t blame you.”

“No.” At this time, Nee Chen rushed inside. She knelt with a “thump” in front of Duke Yongnan and cried, “Duke, even the imperial doctors cannot cure him. She’s just a little yatou. How can she cure Xiang’er? Are you playing with Xiang’er’s life?”

“Qiyan.” Zi You looked at Nee Chen and secretly sneered. She immediately ordered Qiyan, “Pack up my things. We’re leaving.”

Duke Yongnan and Zhao HongXiang were anxious once they heard that Zi You was leaving.

The two almost condemned at the same time. “Mother, are you trying to kill me? What nonsense are you saying? Why aren’t you apologizing to Grandpa Mu and You’er?”

“Didn’t I tell you not to come out? Why didn’t you listen? Someone…… Drag your Furen away.”

Nee Chen saw that her husband and son didn’t listen to her. She anxiously ran to shout at Zi You, “Mu Xiaojie, we have no hatred or enmity with you. You can’t use Xiang’er as practice. Can you guarantee that you will cure Xiang’er……”

Nee Chen had not finished speaking, but was slapped by Duke Yongnan. “Shut up, you crazy woman. You’re really crazy.”

“Father, send someone to lock her up.” Zhao HongXiang shouted coldly in a hoarse voice. “Don’t let her come over and ruin things.”

With his words, Old General Mu felt that Zhao HongXiang was even more disgraceful.

No matter how bad Nee Chen is, she has no ill intentions towards you, her son, right? Even if she is wrong, you shouldn’t treat your biological mother like this.

Old General Mu looked at his granddaughter and was about to say, “Let’s leave.”

But he saw Zi You imperceptibly shake her head. A sharp light flashed in her eyes. She rushed at Duke Yongnan and said, “Uncle, it is understandable that Aunt is not assured with You’er’s medical skills. After all, You’er has learned medicine for only a short period of time and is young. Aunt is also worried about Shizi. It’s unavoidable that she is anxious and says exaggerated things. You’er was wrong just now and let emotions cloud her judgment. Please forgive Aunt and rest assured, Uncle and Shizi. Although You’er has only learned medicine for a short period of time, because You’er considered the needs that are necessary on the battlefield, You’er has been dedicated to studying external trauma. You’er will definitely do her best to treat Shizi.”

“You’er……” Zhao HongXiang was moved by her words.

Duke Yongnan was moved too. He expressed vehemently, “Rest assured and treat as you wish, You’er. Whether it’s a good or bad outcome, Uncle will not blame you.”

Zi You revealed a smile that even peach blossom would be bashful of. In a moment, she eclipsed all the precious chrysanthemums in the room.

She looked comfortingly at Old General Mu. Then she said to Duke Yongnan, “You’er will give treatment now. It will be very painful, so Shizi, I will give you a packet of pain-relieving medicine. Drink it first and the pain will lessen a bit. Uncle, you and grandfather should go outside. You’er will start now.”

Then she took out the refined poppy flower powder and had Zhao HongXiang take it.

She took his pulse five minutes later. His heart rate had not accelerated so she knew the medicine had not taken effect yet.

Thus, she sneered to herself. She took out a pair of scissors and stabbed it towards the dead flesh in Zhao HongXiang’s leg.

“Ah…… It hurts……” It was indeed very painful. Zhao HongXiang screamed heart-piercingly and gut-wrenchingly and began to struggle.

“Hold your Shaoye down,” Zi You ordered the two new maidservants and increased her strength.

It hurts, right? But compared to the pain in my previous life, what does this count as? If I don’t make you suffer terribly in pain, won’t I be sorry to myself?

Zi You gritted her teeth and looked at Zhao HongXiang as she cut off pieces of his necrotic flesh.

Zhao HongXiang’s shouts quieted down. He felt that soaring, pleasurable, and immortal-like feeling that he had experienced before.

Even the pain from his wound was lightened.

He comfortably groaned. “En…… It’s much better. You’er, the medicine is really good. I don’t hurt much anymore. En…… Very comfortable……”

His eyes looked blurrily at Zi You. His face even gradually flushed red.

The two maidservants had been pressing his body down and staring at his face. His face suddenly showed a strange expression and his body suddenly turned hot. The two maidservants became jumpy.

Two pairs of hands on Zhao HongXiang’s body slowly changed from pressing him down to caressing.

As a result, Zhao HongXiang’s eyes that were staring at Zi You transferred to the maidservants.

He looked at their coquettish eyes looking affectionately at him. He immediately remembered his and the maidservants’ experiences.

His “cocoon” stirred and was ready to go.

He looked at the maidservants and smiled. Then he turned his gaze back to Zi You.

He and the maidservants’ movements completely fell into Zi You’s peripheral vision.

Zi You gritted her teeth in hatred. This beast was like this and he was still thinking of that sort of thing? See how I will take care of you.

Zi You’s scissors viciously stabbed into Zhao HongXiang’s kneecap……

“Mother……” It was a bone, so of course it would be very painful. Zhao HongXiang again cried out. “Why does it hurt again? You’er…… Be gentler……”

“Bear with it, Xiang gege. The rotten flesh must be completely cut off before your leg can heal,” Zi You unhurriedly and calmly replied. She deliberately raised her voice so that Duke Yongnan could hear.

She again, ruthlessly cut towards the not-yet-rotten flesh from the side.

Zhao HongXiang again cried out heart-piercingly and gut-wrenchingly. “Ouch, ouch, ouch…… You’er, give me the pain-reliever again. I can’t take it anymore……”

Zi You deliberately loudly and lightly said, “How can you casually take the medicine? There’s a limit. If you take too much, it will be harmful to the body. Bear with it, Xiang gege. I’m almost done.”

She again cut with vengeance. She went to cut the not-yet-rotten flesh that still had nerve endings.

Zhao HongXiang finally experienced what was heart-piercing and gut-wrenching pain. But he just took opi*ids, so his brain was in a hyper state and excited. Thus, he could not faint dead away.

He had to consciously bear the pain, but that pleasurable and immortal-like feeling hit him from time to time. It was really pain mixed with happiness.

When all the rotten flesh was cut off and the color of normal flesh was seen, Zi You stuffed medicinal-soaked strips inside the cavity.

This process was still very painful. Zhao HongXiang just felt that the pain was lessening, but he once again wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves from the pain.

When the medicine was applied and the wound was dressed, Zi You used her spiritual power to create a sweat-soaked forehead for herself. She stood up and said in exhaustion, “I’m sorry, Xiang gege. I know you’re in pain, but I had to harden my heart and treat you like that. Otherwise, let’s not speak of your leg being wasted, but I’m afraid that it might be the end of your life. Qiyan, invite Duke Yongnan and grandfather inside.”

Duke Yongnan and Old General Mu came inside. Zi You saw Duke Yongnan’s red eyes and knew that he must have shed tears in distress after hearing Zhao HongXiang’s shouts.

But Zi You was not sympathetic. She thought, ‘If it wasn’t because of you in my previous life, why would I marry your son and suffer?’

You didn’t kill me, but I died because of you. I will also avenge this hatred.

Besides, how good can you be if you have a scum son like Zhao HongXiang? Your selfish nature can be seen from your selfish actions today.

With such a wife and son, as the head of the family, I doubt that you’re a good person.

I hate that I wasn’t lucid in my previous life and treated you like a good person. When you were sick, I waited on you by your bedside, but I was still insulted by your wife and son.
