The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

The hand on her face disgusted Du Mingxian, but she stubbornly refused to move.

Niu Bao touched her twice before withdrawing his hand. "I'll have the doctor come over and check her injuries again later. You take good care of her, and I won't treat you badly. I'll also put in a good word for you with the madam."

"Yes, Mr. Niu, rest assured, I will take good care of your aunt. I will tell the steward in a little while and ask the manor to send a doctor over."

Niu Bao was very satisfied with Granny Wang's attitude. "Take good care of her. You can go out now. I'll give her some water."

"I'll help you, sir."

Niu Bao didn't want her help, but he thought that he couldn't watch over her all the time. This person was someone he had rescued from the fire with great difficulty, and he couldn't let her go.

"Okay, bring me a bowl of water."

Granny Wang fetched water, and Niu Bao put the medicine into the water in front of Granny Wang. Then he helped Du Mingxian up and fed her the medicine little by little.

As soon as the medicine entered her mouth, Du Mingxian knew what it was: muscle relaxant powder. Who on earth was giving her such a medicine?

Unable to resist, she didn't swallow a drop of the water in her mouth, only making swallowing motions, transferring the water into her spatial storage.

However, she still had muscle relaxant in her mouth, which made her very uncomfortable. She just hoped that the two people would leave quickly.

"Sir, is this the medicine that my aunt absolutely needs to take? Or should I take over the administration from now on?"

Niu Bao sighed, "If she were more obedient and well-behaved, I wouldn't have given her this kind of medicine."

Granny Wang was a gossip, and as soon as she heard there was gossip, she immediately perked up. "Sir, is there something troubling you? You're with Madam now, so you can tell her anything, and she'll help you."

Niu Bao didn't mention his wife, but looked at Du Mingxian lying on the bed. "We were childhood sweethearts and promised to be together when we grew up, but... who would have thought that she would change her mind after growing up?"

“But that man was clearly lying to her. He was a scholar who had completely fooled her. She had a gambling father, a sick mother, and a young brother.”

“Even in this situation, she was still very kind-hearted. She believed the scholar who lied to her. She gave all the money I gave to her family to that scholar, including her mother’s medical expenses.”

"Later, I had no choice but to take her away from my hometown and come to the capital. It was also because your wife is kind-hearted that I didn't know where to take her."

"Even if I don't have any feelings for her now, I don't want her to be deceived by others after she goes out. She'll be weak after using this muscle relaxant, and I don't want her to do anything foolish."

"Wang Pozi, you'll be taking care of her now. If you pay attention, I'll ask the madam for some benefits for you."

Granny Wang was deeply moved. Having been deceived by the book before, she felt even more sympathetic towards the lovestruck Niu Bao. "Mr. Niu, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn't run away."

"That's good." Niu Bao handed the medicine bottle to Granny Wang. "Take this. If I'm busy with Madam's place and can't come over, you can feed her this medicine. There's enough for three more doses. Just feed her once every two days."

“Although I have a good relationship with the madam in this mansion, I don’t have any trusted confidants. Now that you, Granny Wang, have been sent to my side, you are one of my people, and I will not mistreat you in the future.”

As Niu Bao spoke, in order to get Wang Pozi to take better care of Du Mingxian and keep an eye on her for him, he took out a hairpin from his pocket and said, “Take this hairpin. I originally prepared it for her, but now that she’s injured, never mind. You can use it for now. I’ll give you something better later.”

Granny Wang was incredibly excited. A pure gold hairpin! How much money could that fetch? She immediately reached out and took it, her eyes shining. "Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on her and make sure she never has a chance to leave."

"Thank you, I'll head over now. Madam only allowed me to come back for a quick look, I still need to go back to Madam's courtyard."

"Okay, sir, go ahead and get busy. I'll take care of things here."

Niu Bao left, feeling quite pleased with himself. Sun Xiangxiang, that woman, was a womanizer and a playful one, but she was still a decent person and generous. She had recently given him some things.

Adding the things he brought out and hid from the Crown Prince's residence, it's enough for him to live a good life for the rest of his days.

He just doesn't know when the capital will be less strict, so he can go back to his home.

Du Mingxian, lying in bed, heard the entire conversation between the two. She was utterly speechless at Niu Bao, wondering where this damned liar had come from, speaking so eloquently without a single word being true.

They gave her so many excuses for feeding her muscle-relaxing powder.

Granny Wang was overjoyed with the gold hairpin. She originally wanted to go out and show it off, but considering that she had promised Niu Bao to take care of Du Mingxian and keep an eye on her, she didn't dare to go out and put the hairpin away.

This time, instead of dozing off at the table, she pulled up a stool and sat down next to Du Mingxian's bed, staring intently at Du Mingxian.

After watching for a while, she murmured to herself, "No wonder Mr. Niu is unwilling to let go. Look at this pretty face, so delicate and tender. It's no less beautiful than Madam's."

"It's just that Madam didn't see your face. If she had, she definitely wouldn't have let you stay."

Du Mingxian originally intended to pretend until Granny Wang left, and then try to see if she could move. As long as she could move slightly, she could take out spiritual water from her space. With the spiritual water, the effects of the muscle-weakening powder on her body would dissipate quickly.

However... who could have imagined that this old woman would make a move that was completely unpredictable?

He even brought a stool and kept staring at her. No matter how strong her willpower was, she couldn't withstand that.

In the end, she could only slowly open her eyes, looking at Granny Wang with a bewildered expression.

"You're awake! You're finally awake! If you hadn't woken up, I would have thought you'd never wake up again."

Du Mingxian: "..." This person is really mean.

Granny Wang got up and stretched. "Do you want some water now? Never mind, you probably don't. Lie down and I'll go call the doctor for you."

After Granny Wang left, Du Mingxian tried to move, but she was still lying there unable to move, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand.

"Water." She tried to speak; her throat was much better, and she could even utter a few words, which was the happiest thing for her.

Before long, Granny Wang brought over a doctor.

When the doctor saw that Du Mingxian had woken up, he didn't say anything. He reached out and took her pulse. "It's fine as long as she's awake. Just change her dressings on time."

Granny Wang nodded emphatically, "Does it need any more medicine?"

"Yes, I'll catch one and bring it to you in a bit."

"it is good."

After the doctor left, Granny Wang looked at Du Mingxian, stepped forward and began to undress her. "Let me check your wound. The medicine on your wound needs to be changed again."

Du Mingxian thought of the arrow wounds and remained silent, letting Granny Wang do as she pleased.

"You're a woman, can't you use your brain? How could you be fooled by others? Are you stupid? Are scholars really that good? Those things are all lies, especially about scholars."

Du Mingxian could tell that she harbored deep resentment towards scholars.

"You...were...deceived...by...a...scholar...?" She uttered a few words in a hoarse voice.

Wang Pozi's hand, which had just been changing the dressing, suddenly tightened, and Du Mingxian felt pain coming from the wound.
