Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui burst into tears. She held back her sobs and said softly, "I'm not afraid. I just feel sorry for the young lady. How could the master be so cruel to use such a heavy hand? The young lady's back..." She couldn't continue, but just silently wiped Murong Zixi's wound with a handkerchief.

Murong Zixi turned her head and lay down without saying anything else.

Xiao Cui cleaned the wound carefully. Her movements were gentle and careful, for fear of hurting Murong Zixi.

Murong Zixi felt a warm feeling surge in her heart. This little girl was quite loyal. In her memory, every time she was bullied by Murong Jiaoning, this little girl always stood up and protected the original owner.

"Xiao Cui, thank you." Murong Zixi said softly.

Xiao Cui raised her head, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Miss, this is what I should do. Did I hurt you? Be gentler."

Xiao Cui didn't expect that the eldest lady was not stupid anymore and would thank a servant like her. The eldest lady was such a good person, but the master actually...

Murong Zixi felt warm in her heart, she knew Xiaocui's loyalty and kindness. She decided that no matter what happened in the future, she would protect this girl who treated her sincerely.

"No, it doesn't hurt."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui felt even more distressed for the young lady. How could it not hurt? She carefully put the baby on Murong Zixi's back and applied medicine on it.

"Miss, let me check you again to see if there are any injuries anywhere on your body."

"No, I can do it myself in other places. You go out, I'll do it myself."

"Oh." Xiao Cui walked out of the room, looking back every few steps, and closed the door.

As a modern person, she is not used to exposing herself to others without reservation. Murong Zixi took off her clothes and applied medicine to the wounds caused by the whip.

There were still traces of tears on Xiao Cui's face. Seeing this, Nanny Li hurried over, pulled Xiao Cui's sleeves with both hands, walked aside, and asked with concern: "How is the young lady? Have you applied the medicine to the young lady?"

Xiao Cui's eyes were red again, and she choked up as she answered, "I've applied medicine to the young lady's back, but...but the young lady was also whipped on the front and has injuries. The young lady wouldn't let me see, saying she would apply the medicine herself. Mammy, you don't know, the injuries on the young lady's back...are simply horrible to look at. How could the master be so cruel? Even if the young lady is not well, she is still his biological daughter..."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Li sighed, with a helpless and sad expression on her face. She looked up at the sky and said quietly, "Since the Madam left, who in this general's mansion cares about the existence of the eldest daughter? The eldest daughter was also instigated by the second daughter and the others. She refused to return to the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion and even rejected the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion. Even if the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion wanted to intervene, it couldn't."

At this point, Nanny Li's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something: "Oh, right, now that the eldest lady has recovered, she might be able to accept the Loyalty Marquis Mansion. After all, the Loyalty Marquis Mansion is her maternal grandfather's home, and the old lady and the others love the eldest lady very much."

Hearing this, Xiao Cui's eyes also flashed with a glimmer of hope. She nodded and agreed, "Mammy, what you said makes sense. Tomorrow I will talk to Miss about the Loyalty Marquis Mansion. If Miss leaves the General's Mansion and returns to the Loyalty Marquis Mansion, her life will be better than in the General's Mansion. The people in the Loyalty Marquis Mansion are the ones who really care about Miss."

The two looked at each other and smiled, although there were still tears in their eyes. Nanny Li said, "It's getting late. The young lady likes the food you cook. The young lady is injured, so you should go and make something light for her."

Xiao Cui said "hmm", wiped the tears from her eyes, and ran to the small kitchen in their yard.

It's ironic, their eldest daughter is the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion, and the master despises her for being stupid and usually doesn't allow her to eat in the front hall. They cook for her in the small kitchen in the yard, and the ingredients are purchased by the people in their yard themselves.

As soon as the lady left, the master promoted Aunt Xiao as his second wife. The people in the Loyalty and Righteousness Mansion were afraid that the eldest daughter would be bullied, so they selected some servant boys from the mansion to serve her.

Although the General's Mansion initially disagreed, the Loyalty and Righteousness Mansion took a firm stance and demanded that either the infant Murong Zixi be taken back to the Loyalty and Righteousness Mansion to be raised, or the Loyalty and Righteousness Mansion's people be used to serve her.

Unexpectedly, when the eldest daughter was six years old, she fell into a lotus pond and became mentally retarded. Over the years, they have been trying to trick the eldest daughter into taking away the dowry left by the lady.

Fortunately, the nanny stopped them from cheating the eldest daughter out of all the lady's dowry.

That Mrs. Xiao refused to pay monthly wages to the people in Ziwei Pavilion, claiming that their indentures were not in the hands of her mistress and that they were not members of the general's mansion. She also said that the mansion was in financial difficulty and that the eldest lady's monthly salary was withheld.

The servants of Ziwei Pavilion have always been paid monthly wages by the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty.

Xiao Cui thought about it and felt sorry for the eldest lady. The eldest lady had been bullied a lot over the years.

But now the eldest lady is no longer foolish and will definitely get better in the future.

Thinking of this, Xiao Cui happily prepared food for her eldest daughter.

Murong Zixi applied the medicine, gently selected a simple dress from the cupboard and put it on, then lay down on the small couch with her eyes slightly closed.

After a while, Xiao Cui's voice came from outside the door. She brought the freshly prepared food and said softly, "Miss, I have prepared the food. Would you like to have dinner now?"

Hearing this, Murong Zixi slowly opened her eyes, sat up straight, and said in a gentle voice, "Come in."

Xiao Cui pushed the door open and walked to the table carefully carrying the food, placing the light dishes one by one. On the table, there were several plates of green vegetables as green as jade, and the meat porridge was steaming hot, exuding a faint aroma of rice and meat.

Murong Zixi looked at the food on the table with a faint smile on her lips. Her stomach was growling with hunger, as if she was playing an empty city trick.

She stood up, walked slowly to the table and sat down, picked up the meat porridge, blew on it gently, and then drank it in small sips.

The porridge was at just the right temperature, melted in the mouth and tasted great.

"Miss, you are injured and can only eat these light foods. When you are healed, I will prepare delicious food for you."

"The porridge tastes good, I like it."

Xiao Cui was delighted when she heard that, "As long as Miss likes it."

Murong Zixi was not used to being stared at while eating, "You should go down and eat too!"

"I am here to serve the young lady."

Murong Zixi shook her head and said, "No need."

"Oh" Xiao Cui walked out of the room. Why did she feel that the eldest lady was no longer stupid and didn't like her to serve her? Was it her illusion? Xiao Cui glanced inside again from outside the room and sighed slightly in her heart.

Nanny Li looked at Xiao Cui guarding the door, walked over, and whispered, "Why are you guarding the door instead of going in to serve the young lady?"

Xiao Cui looked back at the room again, spread her hands, and said in a somewhat decadent manner: "The eldest lady doesn't want me to serve her, Mammy, you said that the eldest lady has recovered. Does that mean she doesn't like me to serve her anymore?"
