Xu Hengyi had been following along for several days and was well aware of Xie Jiang's difficult and troublesome nature. However, upon hearing about Xie Jiang's performance in the front hall, he was still stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.
How could someone like Xie Jiang exist in this world? His uncle and father were both afraid of her.
She even had the audacity to demand that his second brother carry her!
Why didn't she just fly to the heavens!
What upset him the most was that his second brother actually carried her in the end!
His second brother! He hadn't even been carried by him!
Let alone being carried, ever since his eldest brother had returned to the Daoist sect, his second brother had been raised as a heir. His second brother was not very close to any of his siblings.
His second brother always had a stern face, incredibly serious, even more frightening than his uncle, so they dared not get close.
But not daring did not mean they didn't want to!
Which of them, as younger siblings, hadn't looked up to their second brother since childhood? If their second brother showed a little extra care to someone, that person would be proud and boast for months.
Yet, his second brother actually carried Xie Jiang! On what grounds!
Did his second brother like unreasonable and morally corrupt people like Xie Jiang?
He wondered if his second brother would carry him if he went to his second brother's front.
Yi Shan could understand the young master's indignation, but was Young Master Xie an ordinary person? "Young Master, let's not compare ourselves to Young Master Xie. There is nothing Young Master Xie dares not do."
Yi Shan took out the ointment Xie Jiang had given him, carefully pulled down Xu Hengyi's pants, and tried to apply the medicine as gently as possible.
Xu Hengyi trembled with pain, tightly gripping the large welcoming pillow in his arms. "She's just relying on curing Grandmother, so our whole family has to be grateful to her. No matter how excessive her actions, we have to clean up her mess."
"But I always feel that given Young Master Xie's temperament, even without curing the Old Madam, she would dare to act so recklessly without regard for the consequences." Yi Shan blew on the wound while applying the medicine, trying to alleviate some of Xu Hengyi's pain.
Xu Hengyi thought it made sense. "This kind of arrogant personality isn't something that develops overnight. She probably had a rotten disposition from childhood."
The fresh exposed wound, touched by anything, felt like torture. Even with Yi Shan's utmost care, it was unavoidable, and Xu Hengyi gasped again. "What kind of family is the Xie family to raise a child like this?"
After the medicine was applied, Yi Shan pulled down the soft, smooth covering. Xu Hengyi exclaimed.
Yi Shan quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Hengyi pointed to his buttocks with his finger. "Xie Jiang's character is questionable, but the medicine she gave is not ordinary. I suddenly feel no pain at all. The outer wound is covered with a cool layer, and inside it's warm and very comfortable."
"Perhaps after a night's sleep, I'll really be able to get out of bed." Xu Hengyi was happy and expectant, and immediately closed his eyes, preparing to sleep.
...
Xie Jiang slept soundly until dawn.
She was too lazy to inquire about how Princess Qingyuan was pacified.
As long as she was pacified.
When eating braised pork, who cares how the pig was slaughtered?
When Xu Hengyan arrived, Xie Jiang was preparing to eat breakfast.
"Good morning, Young Master Xu. I just made sweet potato porridge. Would you like to try some?"
"Good." Xu Hengyan stepped forward and sat down.
Guang Bai skillfully picked up a bowl to serve the porridge, when he heard Xu Hengyi's excited shouts from afar, "Xie Jiang! Xie Jiang! Divine Doctor Xie—"
The shouts grew closer, accompanied by the sound of running.
Guang Bai couldn't help but wonder, wasn't the third young master beaten quite badly yesterday? Why was he out?
Just as Guang Bai placed the sweet potato porridge, emitting a sweet aroma, in front of the young master, Xu Hengyi rushed in like a gust of wind.
Guang Bai almost suspected that the Duke and the second master were just acting yesterday.
