Chapter 1734: Chapter 1734
Su Yunjin said she would undress herself, and Gu Ya did not object. Just a moment ago, when Gu Ya helped his little wife undress, he accidentally touched her wounds several times. Afraid of touching them again, Gu Ya thought it would be quite alright for her to undress herself. So Gu Ya stood there, waiting for his little wife to undress.
Su Yunjin first untied her belt, then her outer garment. The wound was on her waist, and it only required her to loosen her inner garment and pull it aside a little to see the injury.
Since she hadn’t taken off all her clothes, only her waist was exposed. Despite this, Su Yunjin showed no signs of embarrassment undressing in front of Gu Ya.
Indeed, Su Yunjin’s hunch was spot on. Her waist was swollen just like her wrist and had bruises. Compared to the redness and swelling on her wrist, the bruises on Su Yunjin’s waist were even more severe. When Gu Ya saw the bruises on his little wife’s waist, his handsome face turned even darker.
Su Yunjin tried touching the swollen area on her waist. It was fine when untouched, but it hurt when she did. Frowning in pain, Gu Ya took out a box of ointment from his bosom, "Yunn Jin, this ointment is for reducing swelling and removing bruises. Please bear with it. I’ll apply it for you now."

The ointment in Gu Ya’s possession was given by Prince Ning. Not only could it reduce swelling, but it was also effective in relieving pain. Su Yunjin knew medicine, and as soon as Gu Ya opened the ointment and she caught its scent, she understood its ingredients and efficacy. Knowing the ointment in Gu Ya’s hand was good medicine, Su Yunjin became a little excited, her eyes sparkling bright.
"Husband, where did you get this ointment?" Su Yunjin said she would have Xue Chu help her buy medicine in town tomorrow, but that turned out to be unnecessary. With the ointment Gu Ya provided, her minor injuries were no issue; applying it morning and night for at most two or three days would heal her wounds completely.
Su Yunjin looked happily at the ointment in Gu Ya’s hand, then scooped a little with her hand and sniffed it. Scenting it up close, Su Yunjin could further identify the specific herbal components in the ointment. This indeed was a rare remedy for swelling and bruises. Just as Su Yunjin joyfully planned to apply the ointment on herself, Gu Ya suddenly spoke above her, "Yun Jin, I’m sorry. I didn’t take good care of you."
The little wife was his woman, and now that she was injured, it was his oversight for not protecting her well. Gu Ya looked at Su Yunjin, his eyes filled with guilt and tenderness. Su Yunjin was initially taken aback, then she smiled, saying nonchalantly, "Husband, it’s just a minor injury, it’s nothing." It was merely some bruising on her wrist and waist; such minor injuries were no big deal.
A little ointment would heal it quickly. Besides, in Su Yunjin’s view, her injuries were nothing compared to those suffered by Xue Chu and the others.
They didn’t mind, so why would she make a fuss over her small injuries? Su Yunjin was unconcerned, but suddenly Gu Ya grabbed her hand and said, "Yun Jin, this incident was my negligence. Rest assured, I will definitely protect you and the child better in the future, ensuring neither of you gets hurt." Gu Ya’s expression was serious and earnest, his tone full of promise. To Gu Ya, being a man meant protecting his woman and child. If he couldn’t do that, what kind of man would he be?
