Ignorant Of Her Good Intentions

As Xie Yunjin heard Lu Jiao's voice, his eyebrows became less hostile.

Lu Jiao reached out to help him tilt a little and fed him medicine.

Under the dim light, the man's eyebrows seemed to be highlighted with a halo of light. His eyebrows, which already looked delicate, seemed to look even more attractive and three-dimensional. As he had lowered his head slightly, his long eyelashes, which looked like a mini fan, gave way to his nose, which had a high bridge, and further down were his thin lips. Despite the lack of blood, they looked quite sexy.

Without the usual coldness, he was a really handsome young man, as dazzling as the moonlight.

Lu Jiao couldn't help but recall a sentence from the book when she saw him like this. Even though Master First Assistant was middle-aged, he was a rare, handsome man in Dazhou. Both his talent and his unworldly appearance are unmatched by ordinary people.

Such a talented and handsome character turned out to be a big villain.

Lu Jiao couldn't help but sigh. Xie Yunjin, who had finished drinking the medicine, looked up at her and snorted coldly, "It's over."

Lu Jiao came to her senses all of a sudden. What was she lamenting about? This man hated her now and wished that she could be executed by Lingchi, so she should treat his leg sooner and get a divorce from him as soon as possible.

[T/N: Lingchi refers to a method of torture and execution practised in ancient China. Numerous small cuts were made on the victim's body. None of them were deadly by themselves, but the combination of them would cause the victim to die a slow, painful death. It is often referred to as "lingering death," "slow slicing," or "death by a thousand cuts." Lingchi was reserved for very heinous crimes, such as treason.]

As she thought about it, she calmly took back the empty bowl, set it aside on the tattered cabinet, and helped Xie Yunjin lie down.

After she helped him get comfortable, she asked promptly, "Was it bitter? Do you want to eat some candy?"

Xie Yunjin turned his head to the side, frowned at her, and snorted coldly, "No."

Lu Jiao mentally scolded herself for even asking that question. But when she remembered how Xie Yunjin had rushed out today, she couldn't help but give him a serious warning.

"From now on, you must not get out of bed on the spur of the moment. You must take good care of yourself. How can you recover from your injuries if you keep on getting out of bed every now and then?"

Even if she wanted to operate on him, she'd have to wait for his concussion and spleen congestion to heal.

His continued tossing like this for the past few days made it difficult for his concussion and spleen congestion to heal. If they don't heal, how can she operate successfully?

As Xie Yunjin listened to Lu Jiao's words, he said nonchalantly, "I feel that my health is much better, so there shouldn't be any serious problems."

Lu Jiao gave him a cold stare when she heard his reply. Is that the state of your health? That's because I used the spiritual spring water to help you recuperate. The spiritual spring water can only nourish your body. It won't make you recover from a concussion or spleen bleeding.

But because Lu Jiao couldn't say anything about the spiritual spring water, she could only stare coldly at Xie Yunjin and give him a warning again.

"Anyway, I don't care whether your health is good or not. From now on, you have to stay in bed. You must stay in bed no matter if you are eating, peeing, or pooping."

Xie Yunjin's face instantly darkened. What does she mean by 'eating, peeing, or pooping on the bed'? Is this something a woman would say? Or is this perhaps a man?

At this instant, Xie Yunjin even suspected that the person in the original Lu Jiao's body was probably a man.

"Are you a woman?"

"Oh, can't women say they eat, pee, and poop?" Lu Jiao sneered.

Xie Yunjin stared at her and found that when she said this, her demeanor was extraordinarily unpretentious, and he seriously thought about the woman's usual behavior. It really didn't look like a man, so this person should be a woman.

Just as Xie Yunjin was lost in his thoughts, Lu Jiao turned around and strode out.

Xie Yunjin assumed that she was going out to continue cooking in the kitchen. Unexpectedly, Lu Jiao had just gone out to take something strange made of bamboo from the outside. When she came in again, she lifted it to show him. "See this. It can be used when you want to relieve your bowels, even when you are lying on the bed."

When Xie Yunjin saw what was in Lu Jiao's hands, his face darkened, and his eyebrows and eyes turned cold.

"What strange thing is this?"

This time, when Lu Jiao saw his furious appearance, she didn't feel scared. On the contrary, she felt a sadistic pleasure.

"Well, you see this, this goes under you, and you just have to relieve yourself, do you understand?"

Before she could finish her sentence, the man on the bed gritted his teeth and said, "I don't need it. Take it away."

He can be sure that he will not be able to relieve himself using this thing.

Even if he was seriously injured, he could still support himself to the ground. He would never lie down on the bed to relieve his bowels with that toy. Just by thinking about it, he knew that he couldn't bring himself to use it.

Xie Yunjin even suspected Lu Jiao was teasing him deliberately. "You made this deliberately?" he asked, his eyebrows arched indifferently.

Lu Jiao rolled her eyes furiously. What does he mean deliberately? She kindly made a simple commode to facilitate him, but he actually suspected her like this. He was really ignorant of her good intentions.

"Do whatever you want, I won't care," Lu Jiao strode out, putting the commode away in annoyance.

When she got to the door, though, she remembered something else and cast a thoughtful look at Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin was just about to ask this woman to leave when he saw her standing like this on the doorstep of the room.

But before he could do that, Lu Jiao asked him quickly, "Xie Yunjin, I want to ask you, did you get out of bed and support yourself all the way out of the east bedroom to the doorstep today, or did you get out of bed and fall down?"

Lu Jiao was worried because if he had had to walk on his legs forcibly, had his leg been injured even more and had his leg injury aggravated further? She'd rather he carefully went out by supporting himself, but just as Lu Jiao had finished speaking, on the bed, Xie Yunjin gritted his teeth glumly, "Go away."

Hearing his nonchalant answer, Lu Jiao got angry, and she couldn't be bothered to talk anymore to him, so she turned around and walked away.

In the room, Xie Yunjin was also enraged. Today, those people bullied the quadruplets, and the helpless feeling of powerlessness hit him once again.

He never imagined that one day he would be unable to even protect his sons. He got out of bed with his strenuous efforts, despite his fractured leg, and walked out by supporting himself against the wall at that time.

But, his legs didn't have even an ounce of strength, and eventually, he collapsed to the ground. However, he crawled all the way out when he heard his sons' cries constantly coming from the outside.

Xie Yunjin's whole body was full of rage now. His eyes had turned bloodshot, and for the first time in his life, this thought came up urgently in his heart. He wanted to heal his legs. He NEEDED to heal his legs. Only then could he protect his sons. Only then could he stand up like a normal person.

Dr. Zhou had previously stated that if a military doctor would perform surgery on his legs, they could possibly be cured, so he had to find one somehow.

Xie Yunjin forcibly suppressed the burning anger in his heart and considered calmly how he could find a military doctor.

Although Lu Jiao had earlier said that she would find a military doctor who could treat his legs, Xie Yunjin didn't believe it. He could only count on himself because how could she, a woman who somehow ventured into his life inexplicably, possibly find a military doctor to perform surgery on his leg?

In the kitchen, after she had braised the pig head, Lu Jiao took it out of the pot. She closed the kitchen door and tossed the braised pig head and the rest of the pork stew into the space, worried that it may get spoiled outside.

The things in her space are maintained at a constant temperature and will never spoil. They will always be soft and tender, just like the medicinal herbs, fruits, onions, and garlic she grows, and they will only get better instead of going bad.

When she entered the space, she felt comfortable all over her body. Her entire body was much more relaxed as she saw the peaches, grapes, watermelons, strawberries, and cherries not far away.

She couldn't help picking a peach and two grapes to taste. After tasting them, she really wanted to give them to the four little ones.

However, such fruits are rare even in Qili town, and it would be difficult for her to explain their origin later.

While she was eating the grapes, Lu Jiao thought about picking some peaches for the little children tomorrow.

She had previously visited the Qili town market, and could claim to have bought the peaches there. Xie Yunjin would definitely not think too much about it.
