Inside the carriage

Yu Lan was at a loss, because she saw Hui Zhen’s painful expression and the wound that kept bleeding, nervously looking at Liu Yun, "Sister-in-law, what should we do?"

No matter how much friction she had with Liu Yun before, now the latter was her backbone.

"I, I don’t know what to do either?" Liu Yun also wanted to find someone to share the burden, but when she saw An Tong’s terrified eyes, her reason slowly returned.

"Where’s the medicine? First re-bandage mother’s wound, then go tell the three brothers quickly, let them find a doctor."

Yu Lan, "Sister-in-law, where is there any medicine? The previous medicine has all been used up.

But Auntie’s wound, if it keeps bleeding like this, it could be deadly."

These past few days they cared for her carefully, the wound had been festering, but at least it wasn’t as horrifying as now.

"No medicine, what can I do? I’m not a doctor," Liu Yun panicked too, "How about you watch here, I’ll go find them?"

This issue is impossible to hide, otherwise the two sisters-in-law would become the target of resentment for the three brothers.

Clearly, it was their father-in-law who caused this trouble, why do they have to bear the blame?

An Tong was trembling in a corner, but his grandmother’s previous words kept echoing in his mind.

Is it true that their family suffered such misfortune because their grandfather really did something illegal?

Just like the Holy Decree said, what about those silver coins?

If those black-clad men came for those silver coins, how large would the amount be?

This matter, he must discuss it with his father properly, there’s a chance grandfather wouldn’t hide it from his eldest son.

Hui Zhen was sweating profusely, yet clearly heard her two daughters-in-law discussing what to do.

These two foolish women, instead of calling for help, they’re saying so much, do they think her life is too long?

She wanted to rebuke, wanted to criticize, but couldn’t open her mouth; due to the pain, she was tightly clenching her teeth, yet found no relief.

Kai Yuan kept listening with his ears perked, unexpectedly a long time has passed and there was no sound from inside.

Mother’s constant rebuke, did father really hold back?

But judging by his expression, it doesn’t seem that way; each step he takes seems like he wants to stomp a hole in the ground.

Kai Yuan handed the rope to Kai Chen, "Second brother, I think I heard mother wake up, I’ll bring the medicine pot to the front to heat it."

These days, they would brew the medicine while resting, and once Hui Zhen woke up, they would bring it to the yoke of the carriage for a simple heating.

"Alright," Kai Chen was surprisingly amenable, because he sensed something was not right, feeling like something was about to happen.

"Big brother, you go ask, if mother wants to eat something?" Kai Yuan skillfully started busying himself, not forgetting to use Kai Ping as a scapegoat.

Kai Ping, "...didn’t she say she wanted noodles before?"

Kai Ping showed reluctance to bring upon himself bad luck.

"The meat bought before is already used up, not sure if plain water noodles would do?" Kai Yuan kept working without pause, his feet moving with the ox cart’s speed, his hands orderly doing tasks.

Kai Yuan had already gone this far, Kai Ping had no words to refuse.

Bracing himself, he knocked on the car frame, "Mother, have you woken up? Is it time to prepare to take the medicine?"

Liu Yun seemed to have finally found her backbone, hurriedly lifting the curtain, "Kai Ping, mother’s wound has split again, bleeding a lot, can you see if there’s any doctor nearby?"

Her voice carried a hint of pleading, her expression also showed fear.

All saying that a child resembles his father, would Kai Ping also be so ruthless in the future?

When she becomes old and decrepit, would she end up like her mother-in-law, constantly being disliked?

"How did it split open? How were you taking care of her?" Kai Ping’s first reaction was to scold, "In this desolate wilderness, where can I find a doctor?

Is it serious? Can she hold on? If it’s really bad, first put some medicine on mother."

"There’s no medicine left," Yu Lan’s voice was tearful, "Big brother, quickly think of a solution, at this rate, aunt will lose her life."

Kai Ping hurriedly rushed over to lift the curtain, seeing Hui Zhen curled up there, the blanket underneath already stained with fresh blood.

"This, this..." Kai Ping’s face turned pale, after all, she was the mother who raised him, "Stop the carriage, stop the carriage, quickly stop."

"Mother, what happened to you?" Kai Yuan, following next to the cart, obviously couldn’t pretend not to know, squeezed in with a worried expression, even knocking over the medicine pot; luckily, he managed to salvage it, otherwise with the Gu Family’s nature, they might ask him for compensation.

"What’s happened to mother?" Kai Chen’s first reaction was to pull the rope for the ox to stop.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, how did you care for mother? How could her wound have split again?"

In the previous life, they carefully took care, yet all the blame was thrown on them in the end.

This time he didn’t get involved, Bai Suihe also stayed far away, now it’s up to the two women to face the upcoming accusations.

"This has nothing to do with us," Liu Yun frightenedly waved her hand, her voice lowered significantly, as if muttering, "Shouldn’t this be asked of father?"

Kai Yuan’s eyes flickered, in the previous life, mother’s wound also split open, but the couple outside the carriage took all the blame, everyone accused them of not taking proper care.

Now Bai Suihe is far away, and he has been outside all the time, the true culprit must be the ones inside the carriage earlier.

The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law don’t have the guts, Gu Antong is even less likely, so the result is clear.

"What nonsense are you talking?" Kai Ping was the first to react, although unwilling to believe in his heart, as a Gu Family member, he must protect the family’s reputation, "Surely it’s because you didn’t care properly, causing mother’s wound to split.

Don’t just stand there, hurry and think of a remedy."

"It’s not us..." Yu Lan wanted to vindicate, but was caught up by Liu Yun next to her, "Just now, mother accidentally moved her wound while turning, also blame us for not watching constantly, husband, why don’t you check if someone nearby has golden sore medicine?"

For Liu Yun’s prudence, Kai Ping gave her a look of appreciation, "You take care of mother, the three of us brothers will think of a solution."

After speaking, he put down the curtain to block some probing eyes, as the commotion had already drawn frequent glances from the front.

"Third brother, quickly check over at the Bai Family, ask if sister-in-law has golden sore medicine." If it can be obtained from the Bai Family without paying a cost, or even without returning it, that’s his first choice.

Kai Yuan placed the items in his hands properly, without a word turned and headed to the back.
