Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 1009: Awesome Stealth Skill (3)

"Sister, the doctor has arrived, you..."

Before Shi Xiaowen could finish speaking, Guh Siyi impatiently interrupted her.

"Let the doctor come in and treat my injuries, you go out and guard the door for me."

Shi Xiaowen bit her lip and cast a worried glance at Guh Siyi, then turned her head and gave a look to the middle-aged doctor, silently stepping out.

The doctor brought by Shi Xiaowen was an internal disciple of their Shimen. He had heard bits and pieces about the matters between Guh Siyi and Shi Xiaowen. Though he sympathized with Shi Xiaowen, he only paid lip service. In the entire sect, Guh Siyi, as a disciple of the Great Elder, was the most favored and also the most likely to become the next Sect Leader. Nobody was foolish enough to seek trouble with Guh Siyi over a mere Shi Xiaowen.

"Come here, treat my injuries!" Seeing the middle-aged doctor standing still, Guh Siyi frowned with impatience and ordered in a low voice.

The doctor’s body shook, he nodded and hurried over.

Because Guh Siyi was covered with a silk quilt, he naively thought she had only sustained minor injuries, but after he felt her pulse, his face instantly turned pale.

"Miss Guh, how... did you get injured so severely?"

Guh Siyi took a sharp breath in, the pain in her chest only adding to her irritation.

"Quit blabbering, leave the medicine here, and treat my wounds simply. Remember, no one else is to know about this, or you’ll risk your life!"

The doctor opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn’t say anything. He took out several small porcelain bottles from his portable medicine box, explained their usage to Guh Siyi clearly, and then carefully retreated.

Outside in the inner parlor, in the small living room of Guh Siyi’s bedroom, Shi Xiaowen was sitting on the sofa.

After the middle-aged doctor came out, Shi Xiaowen hurriedly stood up from the sofa.

"Uh...there’s nothing seriously wrong with Miss Guh’s health, I prescribed some medicine for her, she should be well after a few days. That... Miss Guh asked you to go in, I’ll take my leave now."

Saying this, before Shi Xiaowen could speak, the middle-aged doctor, carrying his tiny medicine box, hurriedly left.

Shi Xiaowen stood in place, watching the back of the middle-aged doctor as he departed, a subtle flicker in her eyes. She said nothing, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door to the inner room.

"Sister, how are you feeling?"

Guh Siyi looked at Shi Xiaowen coldly, and with a sarcastic raise of her eyebrows, responded, "Don’t trouble yourself, I’m quite alright. You stay here and attend to me these next few days, don’t go anywhere!"

"Yes, Sister."

Just after her words, someone knocked on the door of Guh Siyi’s bedroom, and the voice of a Guh Family servant came from outside.

"Young Lady, you have a package."

At Guh Siyi’s gesture, Shi Xiaowen opened the bedroom door, smiled and said thanks, accepting the box handed over by the servant.

"Sister, someone sent this to you."

Shi Xiaowen placed the box on the bed, then stood up and looked around for a paper knife. freёnovelkiss.com

Leaning back against the headboard of the bed, Guh Siyi extended her hand with effort to pick up the box wrapped in kraft paper, giving it a gentle shake.

There was a faint rattling inside the box, apparently, it contained something small.

"It took you half an age to find a paper knife! What are you good for?!"

Shi Xiaowen’s body paused; she didn’t speak but quickened her search.

"Sister, found it!"

She respectfully handed the paper knife to Guh Siyi and said no more. Guh Siyi’s rules were well known within the Shimen - no one was allowed to touch her belongings without permission.
