“Also, boil a large amount of hot water for me. I’ll write down the medicinal herbs I need shortly. Once you have the prescription, go to the pharmacy in the city immediately to get them and bring them back as fast as possible,” Physician Cheng instructed.
Wei Ruo nodded and began giving orders to the servants in the residence one by one. “Mo mo Zhang, take some people to boil hot water. Jing Hu, go fetch the medicine. Cuiping, help my mother to rest.”
Everyone was surprised at first. The Madam had already lost all composure, yet at this moment the eldest young lady remained calm and was actually taking charge of the situation.
Soon after, they all responded and swiftly carried out Wei Ruo’s instructions.
“Yes, Eldest Miss.”
Yun Shi was unwilling to leave, but she was in very poor condition at the moment. Her body had gone limp and she had no strength left, so Cuiping took the opportunity to firmly escort her to the next room to rest for the time being.
Wei Ruo then turned to look at Wei Qingwan. “You should return to your own courtyard as well.”
“With Father in this condition, how can I leave in peace?”
“And what use are you staying here? The room is already chaotic with people rushing in and out. No one has the time to take care of you. Also, wipe your tears. Father has not passed away yet, hold them back for now.”
Wei Qingwan pressed her lips together, her face pale as she looked at Wei Ruo.
Seeing her like this, Wei Ruo couldn’t be bothered to deal with her any longer. She ordered Cuihe, the maid at her side, to take her away.
“Help your young lady back to Wangmei Courtyard. Don’t stay here and cause trouble. If you delay Father’s treatment, I’ll hold you responsible!”
Wei Ruo’s words were sharp, and there was a fierce glint in her eyes that startled Cuihe.
Although she was the second young lady’s maid and technically not under the eldest young lady’s authority, Wei Ruo’s gaze made her instinctively believe that the eldest young lady truly could punish her.
Cuihe hesitated for a moment before nodding, then helped Wei Qingwan leave.
After that, Wei Ruo said to several deputy generals, including Xu Zhengyong, “You generals have worked hard. After such a battle, you must all be exhausted. Please return to rest and recover, and report your safety to your families.”
The men all nodded. There was nothing they could help with by staying here anyway, so it was better not to add to the Wei family’s troubles.
After that, only Wei Ruo, Doctor Cheng, Xiumei, and the servants attending inside the room remained.
The servants had already prepared hot water, tools, and some urgently needed medicine.
“Physician Cheng,” Wei Ruo called again.
“Is that you, my young friend?” Physician Cheng asked.
After working side by side in the small courtyard for such a long time, Doctor Cheng was somewhat familiar with Wei Ruo, especially her eyes.
Moreover, he was a highly experienced physician. Used to judging people by their bones rather than appearances, he was better than most at seeing through Wei Ruo’s disguise.
Wei Ruo nodded.
Physician Cheng immediately showed a look of delight. Then, noticing the servants around them, he said, “All of you may leave. Miss Wei and her maid can stay to assist me, that will be enough.”
Physician Cheng’s decision puzzled the others. Why would he ask the eldest young lady of the residence to assist him? Normally, servants would be used for such tasks.
But given the extraordinary circumstances, the servants naturally didn’t dare ask questions and obediently withdrew from the room.
With the outsiders gone, Physician Cheng hurried to the bedside and lifted the quilt covering Wei Mingting.
As he began unwrapping the bandages around Wei Mingting’s wound, he spoke with Wei Ruo.
“You were beside me when I examined your father earlier, so you must have seen everything. How confident are you about treating this illness?”
