Chapter 254: Chapter 254
Di Yi and Xuan Liu looked at Pei Shu’er with suspicion.
Xuan Liu finally couldn’t hold back and asked, "Young Madam, what did you do to the master?"
He looked at the master, who seemed as if he had been poisoned.
Pei Shu’er said, "I stimulated his meridians."
Xuan Liu was still somewhat worried, after all, Pei Shu’er was the main culprit who caused the master’s family to be exiled, and he feared she had malicious intentions.
But Di Yi pulled him back and shook his head at him.
Only then did Xuan Liu remain silent.
Pei Shu’er walked to Tang Zan and said softly, "I know you won’t sleep well tonight, but once the pain passes tonight, it will be better, and you can have the surgery tomorrow morning."
Pei Shu’er said to Xuan Liu and Di Yi, "Your master will feel unwell tonight; you two should stay and take care of him."
After saying this, Pei Shu’er was about to leave but was caught by Tang Zan by the wrist.
He opened his black eyes; at this moment, his skin was so pale, and his eyes so dark, making him appear even more frail.
"I don’t want them, I want you."
Seeing the villain in such a different light, Pei Shu’er’s heart softened somewhat.
Moreover, those words made her feel needed.
She looked towards the two subordinates and said, "You two go out."
After they left, Pei Shu’er sat by the bedside, gently wiping his sweat, while also softly massaging Tang Zan’s left leg.
Tang Zan felt a little more comfortable; in a daze, he pulled Pei Shu’er onto the bed and embraced her from behind.
The previously unbearable pain became bearable with her in his arms, as if he was filled with strength.
Pei Shu’er felt Tang Zan’s cheek pressed against her neck, and with each breath, she could feel his anguish.
She whispered, "It will be better tomorrow."
It wasn’t until the latter half of the night that Tang Zan fell asleep in a daze, but even in sleep, his head instinctively nuzzled against Pei Shu’er.
His lips also subconsciously kissed Pei Shu’er’s neck.
After the harrowing night during which Pei Shu’er was captured by the Dazi and nearly drowned,
Tang Zan had figured it out, regardless of past vendettas, he already knew Pei Shu’er was related to the exile.
Just to a deeper extent.
Now, as long as Pei Shu’er stays by his side and mends her ways, it would suffice.
A lifetime would be enough for her to repay.
Pei Shu’er slept well last night; when she woke up, she was almost half lying on Tang Zan.
Tang Zan’s hand held her, sleeping deeply. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn nοvelfire.net
The inner garment was slightly damp from sweat, making it clammy.
Even after Pei Shu’er woke up, Tang Zan had not yet awakened, still deeply asleep, appearing extremely fatigued.
Di Yi came to the entrance of the tent calling Tang Zan’s name.
Pei Shu’er said, "Tang Zan needs to have surgery on his leg today, go to the Deserted Mountain and have Yinxing and Honghua prepare; we will conduct the surgery there."
Upon hearing this, Di Yi was initially stunned, then his eyes widened with joy.
Master is finally going to treat his leg, which means the master’s leg actually has hope.
Thinking of this, Di Yi couldn’t care about anything else and hurried to Deserted Mountain to inform the two.
Meanwhile, Xuan Liu went to request a month’s leave from General Zhao on Pei Shu’er’s behalf.
Upon arriving at Deserted Mountain, Di Yi finally calmed down.
He felt he was indeed too optimistic; how could the leg be healed just like that.
In fact, the master had sought help from a Divine Doctor from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion when in the Capital, but after examining for a long time, the Divine Doctor still shook his head.
"This leg cannot be treated."
Pei Shu’er has medical skills, but they are perhaps limited.
And Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan rode horses to Deserted Mountain one after the other.
Now that everything was done, no matter what would happen between Tang Zan and her, she had to cure his leg.
By then, she would truly have no debts with the third room.
Moreover, this person who had saved her multiple times from peril could shine with his own light, rather than being a pearl covered in dust.
As for whether Tang Zan would kill her after being cured, she felt there was not much difference.
After all, whether now or healed, she couldn’t defeat him.
If absolutely necessary, she still had space.
Moreover, she had a premonition that Tang Zan wouldn’t harm her again.
After arriving at the Deserted Mountain, Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan found that the people at the mountain were already waiting at the gate of Desolate Mountain City Wall.
Seeing them arrive, Liu Xu ignored Tang Zan and went directly to pull on Pei Shu’er.
"You’re here, come quickly, you must be exhausted from the journey, come inside and have some porridge first."
Pei Shu’er couldn’t refuse her mother-in-law’s kindness and went to drink some porridge, and Tang Zan also drank a little.
Not until they entered the operating room did Liu Xu hold Pei Shu’er’s hand, her smile finally fading to reveal deeply hidden worry.
"Shu’er, I know you have talent, but Zan’er’s leg is already , and I know it’s not easily healed. Don’t feel pressured, even if it can’t be cured, it’s alright."
Pei Shu’er smiled and said, "Mother, don’t worry, it will be fine."
Tang Qingning also patted Pei Shu’er on the shoulder, saying, "Shu’er, just do your best."
Tang Peizhong also didn’t say much, knowing it was impossible for Tang Zan to be cured; he had already heard from Liu Xu about how Tang Zan’s injury happened.
He had also examined Tang Zan’s leg, and with his years of experience, knew his son was destined to be crippled for life.
Though it was quite a pity, he’d never be able to channel inner strength throughout his life.
However, injuries beyond human repair cannot be helped.
Hot water and tools were well-prepared, and Pei Shu’er also pulled out her surgical instruments, while Yinxing and Tang Qingning assisted nearby.
Tang Zan was made to sleep deeply after being pricked on the numbing and sleeping acupoints by Pei Shu’er.
After all, he was her brother, and Tang Qingning took a deep breath as she watched Pei Shu’er puncture several acupoints with a silver needle, her face turning pale.
Pei Shu’er cut open the wound on Tang Zan’s foot, especially making this incision large, as the meridians were utterly atrophied.
If not for Spiritual Spring Water, it would take multiple surgeries to repair these meridians.
Fortunately, there is such a divine artifact as Spiritual Spring Water.
The surgery had already lasted four hours, Yinxing’s hands were trembling, and Tang Qingning’s initial hidden worry turned into anxiety.
Tang Qingning said, "Shu’er, if the surgery takes so long and it’s not possible, don’t force it; no one will blame you."
Pei Shu’er’s hands remained steady as she reconnected the meridians, and only a very tiny seam could be seen once attached. Pei Shu’er applied a bit of Spiritual Spring Water at the junction.
"It’s alright, big sister-in-law, you have to trust me."
Tang Qingning’s mouth curved into a bitter smile. She knew Pei Shu’er was skilled in medicine, but there are always limits to any skill.
Yinxing also felt there wasn’t much hope, even if the Young Madam was skilled in medicine.
With such entangled meridians, if the Young Madam connected one incorrectly, the foot could never fully recover.
She thought the young master might still be a cripple for life.
