Chapter 7: Changing the Dressing"Ji…" Jiang Yiyue was about to say "Young Master Ji."Suddenly, she realized Xiaohua and Xiaoshu were right in front of her.She quickly changed her words and asked with concern, "Husband, husband, what's wrong with you?"Xiaohua's words had made Ji Shuhuai choke.Jiang Yiyue's two calls of "husband" caused Ji Shuhuai to cough uncontrollably.Jiang Yiyue hurriedly put down the food and brought over tea: "Husband, drink some tea to soothe your throat.""No, no… cough… no need…" Ji Shuhuai turned his handsome face to the side, taking a moment to recover."Jiang Niangzi's husband has stopped coughing!" Xiaohua and Xiaoshu shouted together, as if they had won a battle.What was so exciting about that?These two children… Ji Shuhuai nearly started coughing again.Jiang Yiyue put down the teacup and said, "Husband, eat more slowly."Ji Shuhuai looked up at Jiang Yiyue, hesitating over the words "husband.""What did you want to say?" Jiang Yiyue asked proactively."Nothing." In the end, Ji Shuhuai said nothing.Jiang Yiyue didn't press further. Instead, she turned toward the door and invited, "Xiaohua, Xiaoshu, come in."Ji Shuhuai glanced sideways.Xiaohua and Xiaoshu had been looking at Jiang Yiyue the whole time.They only saw Ji Shuhuai's profile and thought he looked very handsome.But now, as they met his cold, stern gaze, they instantly felt an unspoken pressure.The two children's faces stiffened, and their steps halted simultaneously."Come in." Seeing the two little ones still standing at the door, Jiang Yiyue invited them again.Xiaohua didn't dare to enter.Xiaoshu tugged at her clothes and whispered, "Xiaohua, let's go."Xiaohua wanted to play with Jiang Yiyue and was still hesitating.Xiaoshu directly pulled Xiaohua's hand: "Jiang Niangzi's husband is so scary. Let's hurry and leave.""Jiang Niangzi, we'll come play with you tomorrow." After saying this, Xiaohua followed Xiaoshu and ran off."Hey, Xiaohua, Xiaoshu, you…" Jiang Yiyue called out but couldn't stop them.She looked at Ji Shuhuai and said, "You scared them away.""Me?" Ji Shuhuai asked.Jiang Yiyue nodded: "Yes.""Do I look that scary?" Ji Shuhuai asked, displeased."No, you are extremely handsome," Jiang Yiyue praised without hesitation.What unmarried girl would praise a man so directly?Not the slightest bit of shyness!For a moment, Ji Shuhuai didn't know how to respond.Jiang Yiyue continued, "But you are too serious. It makes people afraid.""Are you afraid?" Ji Shuhuai asked."Yes, I am," Jiang Yiyue replied bluntly."I can't tell." After learning Ji Shuhuai's identity, Jiang Yiyue sometimes acted flattering, sometimes respectful.He could tell she had her own opinions and pride deep down, but he couldn't see any fear in her."When I'm afraid inside, it's not easy for others to notice," Jiang Yiyue said.Nonsense!Ji Shuhuai glanced at her but said nothing more."Let's not talk about it." Jiang Yiyue scooped a spoonful of meat porridge and brought it to Ji Shuhuai's lips: "Let's eat."Ji Shuhuai continued eating.After feeding Ji Shuhuai his meal, Jiang Yiyue also fed him his medicine.Feeling a bit tired herself, she lay down on the bed to rest.Ji Shuhuai glanced at her."What's wrong?" Jiang Yiyue asked."Nothing." Ji Shuhuai turned to look at the window."Should I open it?" Jiang Yiyue asked."Yes," Ji Shuhuai replied.Jiang Yiyue got up and opened both wooden windows a crack.Ji Shuhuai watched intently.Jiang Yiyue sat back in her original spot and called out, "Young Master Ji."Ji Shuhuai glanced sideways at her.Jiang Yiyue asked curiously, "Are you waiting for someone to rescue you?""Yes," Ji Shuhuai did not hide it."Um…" Jiang Yiyue hesitated.Ji Shuhuai did not respond.After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Yiyue said, "You promised me, you know."Ji Shuhuai turned to look at her in confusion, "Promised you what?"Jiang Yiyue replied, "To repay me.""Repay you for what?" Ji Shuhuai did not understand."I saved you," Jiang Yiyue had to ensure Ji Shuhuai would help her.Otherwise, once she returned, there would be no way out for her.She anxiously said, "Back in the mountains, you were almost dead."I supported you and kept walking forward."At that time, we agreed that after returning to the capital, we would tell everyone that I assisted you in suppressing the bandits.""When did I suppress any bandits?" Ji Shuhuai asked.Huh?Back then, Jiang Yiyue was exhausted and in pain as she helped Ji Shuhuai walk.Focused solely on getting him to repay her, she had thought of the merit of "assisting in suppressing bandits."She had forgotten that the bandit suppression never actually happened.This…She quickly tried to cover for herself, "Aren't you planning to suppress the bandits?"You are Ji Shuhuai, after all!"You are the one who can least bear to see the common people suffer."Even when injured, you are brave and strong."So."So I thought you would definitely rid the people of this scourge."You would definitely go suppress the bandits."Right?"Perfect!She had managed to smooth it over.She secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.Just as she was about to speak again, Auntie Qi called out, "Lady Jiang."She hurried to the door, "Auntie Qi."Auntie Qi smiled and said, "I've come to change your dressings.""Thank you for the trouble, Auntie Qi.""It's no trouble," Auntie Qi carried the medicine chest over.Jiang Yiyue sat back down on the bed.Auntie Qi said, "Take off your clothes."Jiang Yiyue froze.Ji Shuhuai looked over.Auntie Qi offered no explanation.Jiang Yiyue put on a shy expression and said, "Auntie Qi, I'm embarrassed.""You're already a married couple sharing a bed, what's there to be shy about?" Auntie Qi opened the medicine chest.Jiang Yiyue added, "We were only recently married."Auntie Qi glanced at Jiang Yiyue, who was lowering her head, and then at Ji Shuhuai, who had turned his face away.Young people really are thin-skinned.She closed the medicine chest and said, "Then how about going to my room for the dressing?"Jiang Yiyue adopted the demeanor of a young wife, "Thank you, Auntie Qi."Auntie Qi stood up and walked out.Jiang Yiyue followed her to the door.Suddenly remembering that she and Ji Shuhuai were now husband and wife, she couldn't be too distant.She turned her head and said, "Don't worry, husband, I'll be right back."Upon hearing this, Ji Shuhuai felt a shiver run down his spine and turned to look at her uncomfortably.Jiang Yiyue winked at Ji Shuhuai, putting on an intimate expression.Ji Shuhuai felt goosebumps all over.Jiang Yiyue quickly finished having her dressing changed and thanked Auntie Qi once more.Auntie Qi said, "Lady Jiang, there's no need to be so polite. You've already paid with silver."That was true.Doctors also needed to make a living.When Jiang Yiyue woke up this morning, she had given her gold hairpin to Auntie Qi.She smiled and said, "Silver is silver, gratitude is gratitude. They don't conflict."It was said that noble ladies from the capital were arrogant and delicate.Lady Jiang showed none of that.All Auntie Qi saw was openness and sincerity.She grew even fonder of the young lady before her."Auntie Qi, please go about your business. I'll go check on Ji… my husband," Jiang Yiyue said."Alright, I'll come over later to change his dressing," Auntie Qi replied.Jiang Yiyue turned and walked back.Just as I reached the doorway and saw the scene inside the room, I froze on the spot.
