Houmen's concubine

Chapter 69 Return to the City
There is always a banquet in the world, not to mention that the mother and son of the Li family just met them by chance, and it was okay when they didn't know their identities.

Now that their identities have been exposed, and people in the world are unpredictable, the mother and son of the Li family are indeed kind-hearted, but Xie Yuheng doesn't want to gamble on people's hearts, and he doesn't want to make the little girl feel sad.

Only money was given, although it seemed a bit cold-hearted, but it was indeed the most suitable repayment he could think of.

It's just that I can't explain this thought in detail to the little girl. The little girl is still young and doesn't know the unpredictable people behind it.

Going down the trail from the mountain, they could only ride horses. It was still Xie Yuheng and Wang Tonger who rode on a pure black tall horse led by Huang Yu.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yan was standing beside the carriage waiting, when he saw Xie Yuheng, his eyes were red, and he immediately went forward to pay respects, and said in a choked voice, "I have seen my son."

"Well, let's go!" Xie Yuheng nodded to Xiaoyan, as if he wasn't the one who was injured, and lifted the hem of his robe to get on the carriage first.

Wang Tong'er also quickly got into the carriage on the horse stool.

The carriage back to the city went surprisingly smoothly. When entering the city, they were not questioned by the city guards, and the journey went unimpeded.

Outside the mansion, Xie Yuheng got out of the carriage first, rode on the black horse and left with a group of guards. By the time Wang Tonger got out of the carriage, he had long since disappeared.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yuheng was really a workaholic, and he didn't take a rest even when he was injured.

Accompanied by Xiao Yan in women's attire, Wang Tong'er still lived in the original wing.

She didn't see Xie Yuheng until she took a comfortable bath and returned to her room after dinner.

It is estimated that he is going to deal with serious business. This encounter with bandits is definitely not an accidental event. They came here to kill Xie Yuheng. Even if you pinch your toes and think about it, there are many doubts. Who has the courage to pretend The bandits assassinated the imperial envoy in the middle?

Xie Yuheng must have offended someone and harmed someone's interests, making them jump over the wall in a hurry to pretend to be bandits, but also to kill Xie Yuheng.

Killing the imperial envoy is a capital crime of extermination!

After lunch the next day, Xie Yuheng came back from outside with a tired face.

He seemed to be very tired, his eyes were slightly blue, and he looked like he hadn't slept last night.

Wang Tong'er asked with concern: "Master, have you eaten yet?"

He said with a bit of tiredness in his tone: "I'm not hungry for the time being, let's take a rest first."

"Oh, the servant girl asked the kitchen to prepare the ingredients first, and then do it after you wake up."

"Yes. Come here and help me change my clothes." Xie Yuheng nodded and walked to the wing.

Huh?
Where's Xiaomo?
Xie Yuheng has never allowed Xiaoyan to serve her close to her since she wore women's clothing, so Wang Tonger could only obediently follow him to the dormitory.

Xie Yuheng was originally injured, and it must be very tiring to deal with official business with the injury and stay up all night.

Otherwise, he loves cleanliness so much, a person with a cleanliness habit would go to bed without taking a shower?

These are the hardships and risks that as the son of the Hou Mansion, for the sake of his own responsibilities and dedication to his career, he has to bear the hardships and risks.

It's not like the second generation ancestors like Xie Yuhuai, who only care about eating, drinking and having fun, enjoying the shade of their ancestors.

Wang Tong'er took off Xie Yuheng's outer robe and middle coat, took them to the hanger on the other side of the screen and hung them up, helped Xie Yuheng tuck in the quilt and came out, sat at the desk by the window and was about to flip through the stack of books to see if there were any books she liked to read When I was reading a book, I saw Xiao Mo rushing in with a medicine box in his hand, leading an old doctor with white beard and hair.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Mo asked, "Little madam, where is the son?"

"Shh, the son just fell asleep." Wang Tong'er raised her index finger to her lips, glanced at the dormitory inside, and said softly.

She is not used to this "Little Madam", and there is nothing she can do if she is not used to it. Whoever asks herself to hold someone else's job must do what he says.

As long as he doesn't say anything about letting himself be his concubine, it's fine.

When Xie Yuheng just came back, she wondered why she couldn't see Xiao Mo behind him?

It turned out that it was Xiao Mo who asked the doctor to treat Xie Yuheng's injury.

"Is it Xiaomo?" Xie Yuheng asked lazily from the dormitory.

"My lord, the slave has invited Dr. Xu over here." Xiao Mo put down the medicine box in his hand, and introduced the old man with white beard and hair who was standing in the outer room cautiously to Xie Yuheng.

I don't know if Xie Yuheng was not asleep or was he awake even when he was asleep?He woke up when there was a movement, and said in a hoarse and tired voice: "Doctor, please come in!"

Wang Tong'er stood aside and greeted politely: "Oh, Dr. Xu, please come in." While speaking, he ordered Xiaoyan: "Pour a cup of tea for Dr. Xu."

In front of outsiders, she is Master Xie's favorite concubine, and the job of serving tea and water has to be done by someone else.

"Yes, little madam." Xiao Yan turned to Wang Tong'er and went to serve tea with small steps.

Wang Tong'er rolled her eyes at the back of him leaving.

"Thank you, Ma'am, old man." Dr. Xu followed Xiao Mo into the bedroom while stroking his beard.

When Xiao Yan brought tea to Dr. Xu, Dr. Xu was helping Xie Yuheng untie the bandage that Brother Li was bandaging. He glanced at the black herbal ointment, nodded and said: "Master Xie's wound is very good. The herbal medicine used by hunters in the mountains to heal wounds, otherwise the wounds would not heal so quickly, and they might have a high fever."

In fact, it’s not surprising, because the hunters who hunt in the mountains all year round, if the herbs used to treat their injuries are not effective enough, they are bitten by wild animals or injured by other reasons, wouldn’t their lives be safe when they go to the town down the mountain to see a doctor?
It's just that their herbal medicine is not as pure and delicate as that of a serious doctor's ointment.

Dr. Xu helped Xie Yuheng reapply the medicine, and then wrapped up the wound with a special healing bandage.

Afterwards, he left the ointment for the wound and told Xiao Mo, who had been working as an assistant beside him, "Change the medicine for your lord every night, and don't touch the wound with water." The porcelain bottle came and said: "This is a pill for anti-inflammatory and pain relief, three times a day, take it on a full stomach, six pills per meal."

Dr. Xu is an expert in treating trauma, so he doesn't need to boil soup and medicine to take it, just eat his pills.

"Oh, I'll remember this junior, thank you, Doctor Xu," "This is your consultation fee." Xiao Mo thanked, and took out a small ingot of gold and handed it to him.

Wang Tong'er took a look, this little ingot of gold should be worth a lot of silver!

"Hey, it's too much." Dr. Xu politely declined, and it was heavy in his hand.

"Doctor Xu, you don't have to be polite, I'll reward you with more!" Xie Yuheng waved at him and said, "Little Mo, send Old Doctor Xu out of the house."

"Thank you sir, I will take my leave first!" Dr. Xu bowed to Xie Yuheng and cupped his hands, picked up the medicine box and left accompanied by Xiao Mo.

　People's hearts are unpredictable in the world, Xie Yuheng doesn't want to gamble with people's hearts.

　　Therefore, the best way to repay Li's mother and son is to give money.

　　Seeing this, the kind Wang Tonger felt bad...
