On the hospital bed, Wei Yanran woke up and wanted to get up, but was held down by her mother, "Don't move. The doctor said you need to rest. The silver needles on your body have not been removed yet, so you can't move around."
Silver needle? Only then did Wei Yanran notice that she really had several silver needles inserted into her body.
"Mother, how long have I been sleeping?"
Mrs. Wei said with pity: "Silly boy, you scared your mother to death. You slept for more than an hour. My mother almost lost her sight of you."
Wei Yanran consoled her cheerfully: "How could it be? Mother, my daughter is just anxious for a moment. She will be fine if she takes a nap."
Mrs. Wei shook her head and said with some complaint: "A lot of things happened during the hour you slept. It's all your fault for your careless brother, who almost killed you."
As he spoke, he told the whole story in detail. When he finally talked about Xiao Rui, Mrs. Wei smiled, "Fortunately, your father is mature and prudent and invited Xiao Rui, who is known as the best in medical skills in Chang'an. He is really well-deserved, and he is so simple. The needle will save your life."
"Although this young man has a bad temper and even dares to yell at me, I can still be considered his elder. But, it's okay for most talented people to be arrogant about their talents."
"It's a pity. If he hadn't been engaged to the princess, he would have been a good match. The key is that he and your father get along very well. You also know that your father's temper is stubborn and hard, and he has offended many people. This is rare. There was a young man who caught his eye and got into a fight with him. Alas..."
Wei Yanran was confused, Xiao Rui? Which Xiao Rui?
"Mom, what are you talking about? Who saved me?"
"Oh? Haha, why are you still shy when talking about Xiao Rui? It can't be that you are really interested in him..." Mrs. Wei asked in surprise.
Wei Yanran was about to burst into tears, "Mother, why are you like my brother? Can you believe hearsay and market rumors? Don't you think your daughter is not wronged enough?"
Mrs. Wei quickly wiped her daughter's tears and said coaxingly: "It's wrong, wrong, don't say it, don't say it. The rumors in the market are indeed not trustworthy. That Xiao Rui is not as romantic as the rumors say. I saw his behavior today, but When rescuing people and doing things, he is clear-minded and orderly, without any dandyism."
"I saved your life today. When we meet later, don't show off your temper again. Since the rumors are false, then I am also one of the victims. I feel wronged just like you."
"This child is the same. He has been wronged but he can endure it, and he dares to come to your door to see a doctor. It's really good..."
Wei Yanran's outlook was completely changed when she heard her mother's murmurs. What's going on? I woke up after a long sleep. What was my mother's attitude? Didn’t you denounce Xiao Rui with me before? Why, why is it all praise now?
"Mother, you know that I hate Xiao Rui, why did you ask him to save me?"
Mrs. Wei frowned and reprimanded with a straight face: "Yan'er, how could you do this? That liar and quack doctor almost killed you just now. If it weren't for Xiao Rui, you would have died long ago."
Then, Wei Yanran was dumbfounded as he recounted what happened next. The complaint on his face turned into a complex one. He fell into silence for a moment, his eyes were in a trance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Not long after, several people who came after hearing the news poured into the bedroom.
After some concerned greetings, Mrs. Wei reminded: "Okay, Yan'er is safe. You two can talk about old times later. The silver needle on her body has not been removed yet. Mr. Xiao, please excuse me."
After saying that, he actually gave Xiao Rui a polite salute. He looked carefully.
Xiao Rui quickly returned the favor, "Madam, you're too polite. Not to mention my relationship with Dr. Wei, in fact, we also know Miss Wei. We are friends. We should save her."
Mrs. Wei nodded gratefully and urged Wei Zheng and his son: "Let's go out first. Don't interfere with Dr. Xiao's treatment."
Without any explanation, she grabbed her husband and son and left. The maids certainly had their eyes on him and left one after another.
Xiao Rui was confused. Didn't I say clear the place? Did you have an illusion just now? Why did you feel that Mrs. Wei's eyes were weird? Remember not long ago, wasn’t she very dissatisfied with me and glaring at me?
"Miss Wei, I'm going to take the needle for you, be careful not to move around." Walking to the bed, Xiao Rui said gently, thinking that the other person's eyes were blank and he was just in a daze from exhaustion.
With a flick of the body, several silver needles on Wei Yanran's body were cleverly left on Xiao Rui's fingertips. If Dr. Song had seen this unique skill, he would have been surprised.
Just when Xiao Rui reached out to pull out the needle between the opponent's eyebrows, Wei Yanran actually said, "Why did you save me?"
ah?
Xiao Rui felt that the palm of his hand was burned by a burst of heat, and the hand holding the needle was unsteady.
Wei Yanran hissed softly in pain, and started to complain again: "A stingy man will definitely retaliate. You will retaliate against me just like this."
Only then did Xiao Rui see clearly that it was the hot breath exhaled by the other party that was facing the palm of his hand.
"Hey, why did I take revenge? What are you talking about? If you don't want to suffer pain, just be obedient and don't move. Otherwise, take one and it will hurt you."
There was no sympathy in her tone, it was all scolding. Wei Yanran snorted lightly and stopped speaking as if she was angry.
After taking out the silver needle, Xiao Rui packed his things and said, "It was your father who ran to me on horseback to save you. If you want to thank you, you should thank your father. The mission is accomplished. If you hate me because of the rumors, that's fine. I just don’t stand in your way.”
Wei Yanran was surprised: "My father invited you?"
There was no surprise, but instead he said a little sad and aggrieved: "Huh, I'd rather you not save me."
Xiao Rui rolled his eyes and said in a cold tone: "What's wrong? Didn't I save people after I rescued them? Do you believe the rumors?"
"I don't believe it."
Xiao Rui wondered: "Then why are you doing this? Because of what happened last time? That's even more unreasonable. Last time I was beaten by you, and my official robe was torn into strips, and I was almost punished by a saint. . I didn’t even ask you for compensation, so what do you think this is? The Tang version of Farmer and Snake?"
With that said, he put the silver needle bag into his arms, turned around and left without any hesitation. How could he not afford to hide from such an unreasonable lady? I don't want to serve you.
"Hey! You just told my mother that we are friends, is it true?" Seeing Xiao Rui about to leave, Wei Yanran finally retreated, couldn't help but asked, and blurted out what was on her mind.
Xiao Rui wanted to say I don't know you, but he looked back at the other person's pale face and couldn't bear to look like a weak woman. He smiled and said: "As long as you don't yell or glare at me when you see me in the future, I can treat you as if we were strangers before, and we are friends."
"You are weak. I will prescribe a prescription. You should take the medicine on time every day and get more sleep. You will be better in half a month. As for the rumors, I will find out the real culprit who spread the rumors and give you an explanation then. Let's go. Got it!"
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out. Wei Zheng and his son saw each other off. Mrs. Wei entered the room rudely and asked her daughter something in a low voice.
After leaving the prescription and riding out of Wei's house, the sky was already a little gray. Xiao Rui smiled bitterly and said: "What's the matter? It's a good first day of the new year and I'm as tired as a dog. This day seems to be a few months older than me." All wonderful.”
After driving his horse home, as soon as he reached the street, a palace servant came over, handed him a secret letter, and turned away.
Xiao Rui thought it was his father-in-law Li Er's roar, but when he opened it, it turned out to be a piece of intelligence about who spread the rumors.
