Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good-Chapter 10
Chapter 10: Mistress and Servant Punished
Seeing that Luo Qing Luan was going to be punished, Dai Yue, who had been standing obediently by the side, could no longer endure and stepped forward. Kneeling down, she begged, "Master, you can't! After all, My Lady is the future prince consort. If you punish her and injured her body, what will we do if the emperor finds out? This engagement was bestowed by the empress in those days. The empress already passed away. No matter what, Master has to give the empress face and spare My Lady, alright?"
How would he care what Dai Yue says? With one kick then another, Luo Cheng kicked her away and said angrily. "Absolutely disgraceful! Even a little servant girl like you dare lecture this general? Luo Qing Luan, is this your underling?"
Not tolerating words of reason, he waved his hand and shouted coldly. "As your father, today, I have to properly teach you a lesson. I'll have you understand what is a proper upbringing, what is the consequence of looking down on your elders!"
"Throw her into the woodshed and lock it up for three days. No one is allowed to give her any food!"
His eyes were brimming with inexhaustible coldness and loathing. Luo Cheng continued on with a dark expression, "Reflect upon yourself properly for me. If you still dare to be reckless in the future, I won't forgive you so easily!"
He was just about to leave when he saw Dai Yue groaning with pain on the ground, then added, "Have this servant girl locked together in the woodshed!"
"Yes, Master!"
Without any unnecessary movement, without resisting, Luo Qing Luan was pushed by several servants with no trace of politeness, along with Dai Yue. They were locked in the woodshed in the back garden. Looking at the filthy firewood next to her, Luo Qing Luan didn't complain at all.
It's just that in her heart, she already no longer regard Luo Cheng as her father.
This man, so biased. Having her not eat for three days, didn't he clearly want her dead? Even if she didn't die from hunger, by that time, she would still be on her last breath. How could she still defend against Wang Xue Ru and Luo Qing Shuang's vicious attacks?
No matter where she was, counting on other people was useless. Even her closest relatives were so cold and distant, what else could she think?
Just wait until after she got out. She must properly make plans on how she could be free of Luo Cheng's control. Only then could she live a better life, free, at ease, and unrestrained.
At night, cold winds blew. Cracks were everywhere around the woodshed. The cold wind caused the Qing Luan mistress servant duo to shiver uncontrollably.
"My Lady……you, are you cold?" Clearly injured herself, yet as if she didn't feel it, Dai Yue tried hard to walk closer, but her steps were unsteady. Seeing that she's going to fall on the hard firewood, Luo Qing Luan quickly supported her.
Only after touching did she discover that Dai Yue was ice-cold from head to toe while her forehead boiled. Most likely, after she was kicked by Luo Cheng and exposed by the cold wind, Dai Yue became ill with a fever.
"Someone come! Someone help!" She no longer cared about much else. Luo Qing Luan only thought about calling someone here to let Dai Yue drink some medicine. Otherwise, she's afraid that Dai Yue won't last three days.
She yelled for half a day and not only was there no one, there wasn't even the sound of movement. She then recalled that tonight, there indeed wouldn't be anyone to send them dinner. It seemed Luo Cheng was truly ruthless. He clearly knew that Dai Yue had been injured, yet locked her up. He basically wanted to punish her with death, and that could also be considered giving his daughter a lesson.
"Dai Yue……" Luo Qing Luan's complexion darkened as she anxiously called out to her.
Thanks to the moonlight, Luo Qing Luan was able to see that Dai Yue was weak and mumbled to herself, but it's unclear what she was saying. If she still didn't receive treatment, very likely, even if Dai Yue didn't die of starvation, she would die first from sickness.
Since she was unable to call anyone, Luo Qing Luan also wasn't about to sit and wait for death. She looked left and right and noticed the firewood behind her. She immediately chose a relatively small branch and broke a piece off.
"Having no needles, using this thing is probably barely enough to get by?" Looking at the small stick of firewood in her hand, Luo Qing Luan carefully supported Dai Yue up with one hand while the other hand held the stick of firewood and accurately pressed at the relevant acupoints on her back.
Again, she used the Ghost Hand Nine Needles method, but this time, there were no needles at the pressure points. She merely used the branch of firewood to stimulate the acupoints on Dai Yue's body. Even though the effect was not as thorough, it was still better than nothing. Moreover, the stick was firmer than her fingers, so the result was slightly better than using fingers.
With her clothes as a buffer, the stick wouldn't touch Dai Yue's body directly and wouldn't injure her. Luo Qing Yue conscientiously used the stick to stimulate each and every acupoint related to injury or colds.
After about an hour, she finally stopped.
Feeling Dai Yue's forehead, Luo Qing Yue let out a long breath.
It could be considered to be effective. Dai Yue's fever already diminished. Even if Dai Yue were to have been kicked at the heart by Luo Cheng, leading to heavier internal injuries, as long as Luo Qing Luan persisted in treating her, even by using a stick of wood, she's confident that she could cure her.
Ghost Hand Nine Needles method…how could it be ordinary!
For a consecutive three days, Luo Qing Luan and Dai Yue were locked in the woodshed. Don't mention food, even water was not brought to them. If it weren't for the rain coming down on the second day, allowing the two of them to drink barely enough water. Most likely, even if they didn't starve to death, they would've died of thirst."
"My Lady, in the future, you really shouldn't contradict the master. Otherwise……" Dai Yue sobbed as she spoke.
"It's alright. There won't be a next time." Luo Qing Luan replied faintly.
Wait until they get out of this place. She'll look for a way to make money and slowly break away from Luo Cheng's control. As for Luo Qing Shuang and Wang Xue Ru, heh heh……she'll collect these debts for sure. Everyone, wait and see!
