55. Powerful (1)

Yu Laojun was squeezed and patted on the back a couple of times until she finally regained consciousness.

Yu Qingjia was squeezing her extremely hard, for fear that she might not be able to regain consciousness if she didn't add more strength.

When the old woman finally opened her eyes, the maids all around her breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately inquired more about her condition.

Yu Qingjia glanced lightly at the reddish patches on Yu Laojun's skin, and she could clearly see the nail marks she left behind on it when she was squeezing her tightly.

She tried to hold back the smile that was trying to escape from her lips.

She secretly pinched her palm, and felt the stinging pain.

Her expression turned serious in an instant, she then went ahead and eagerly clutched Yu Laojun's hand and shook it hard,

“Laojun, you've finally woken up! How is your body, have you been burned?”

She wasn't burned.

However, It is not easy to say whether it is a blessing or a curse.

That's because when Yu Qingya accidentally slipped, and splashed the medicine, Madam Li was quick to see the opportunity and immediately jumped forward to block it.

Yu Laojun managed to avoid getting burned by the splashing medicine, but she was pressed by Madam Li's body in a very hard way.

Now Yu Laojun felt that her entire body, and bones are out of place, her ribs were hurting, her midsection were also in pain.

In short, her entire body was now very painful, and uncomfortable.

If it wasn't for the fact that she hadn't recovered yet, Yu Laojun would have wanted to curse at Madam Li, that stupid idiot!

The bowl of medicine had already gone a long way when it was poured over, how much could be left of it?

Besides, there was still the quilt, and blankets in the way, so I'm afraid it wouldn't even reach her body.

She was not scalded by the medicine, but because of Madam Li blocking the bowl, she was almost crushed to death.

The bones of older people are very brittle, and they can break easily with a casual fall.

How can it withstand the weight of an adult woman?

Madam Li on the other side was in no better condition than Yu Laojun.

That's because Yu Laojun still had the quilt to block the boiled medicine, but Madam Li did not.

In fact, she blocked most of it for her, and the steaming hot medicine seeped into her thin clothes, and along with her skin.

Even if Madam Li did not look, she knew that her back had turned completely red.

“Yu Laojun, I managed to block it all for you, you didn't get burned right?”

Madam Li was sobbing, and she was kneeling at the edge of the bed while constantly wiping her tears.

Her hair was disheveled, her face was yellow, and such a bitter and distorted cry won't be a sight for sore eyes.

Yu Laojun was obviously furious that she was about to spit blood, Madam Li's bitter appearance was really disgusting, and she could not say anything to rebuke her.

She could only say with a sullen expression, and a frown, “Thanks to the ancestors' blessing, I was lucky enough not to be crushed to death by you.”

When Madam Li heard her words, her mouth opened wide in shock.

She had thought that the effect of her jumping forward today would be comparable to Feng Zhaoyi's rescue of the emperor from the bear1(Feng Yuan (馮媛, imperial title Zhaoyi (昭儀), died 6 BC. She was viewed largely positively for her heroism and (presumed) humility, and viewed sympathetically for her death at the hand of her romantic rival Consort Fu. In 38 BC, while Emperor Yuan was watching a fight between wild animals, accompanied by a number of his concubines (but apparently not by Empress Wang Zhengjun), a wild bear broke loose and tried to get out of the cage. All of the noble men and women present, including Consort Fu, fled the scene. Only Feng stepped toward the wild bear, which was killed at the last moment by imperial guards.), and Yu Laojun would be grateful for her, and praise her.

However, contrary to her expectations, the words that came out of Yu Laojun's lips weren't words of praise but admonishment.

It seems that Yu Laojun did not appreciate her very much, and was even sarcastic to her.

She even insinuated that she was heavy.

Madam Li was so aggrieved that she burst into tears, and started sobbing.

She clutched her handkerchief, her lips were drawn out, and she said bitterly, “Why am I so miserable…”

It was a familiar opening sentence, and the other maids, who crowded around the bed, were all motionless.

Some of them were not good at holding themselves back, they had to turn around and roll their eyes casually.

It can be very difficult for a woman to live in these chaotic times.

Madam Li does not have a son, and has lived like a widow for so many years.

She would often cry, so the maids had to follow along, and shed a few tears with her.

However, there is always a time and place for everything.

'What is the occasion now?'

This is obviously not Madam Li's turn to complain.

Yu Laojun was also annoyed by her sobbing and crying.

Her eyebrows furrowed tightly, but she still looked at Madam Li patiently and said,

“I know, you didn't have it easy all these years. Okay, stop crying, stand up first and let the servant girls take a look at the injury on your back.”

Madam Li stopped crying immediately.

When Yu Qingya saw this she quickly took the opportunity to take two steps forward,

“Laojun, this Fourth Miss did not mean to mess up just now… It's just that I seem to have tripped over something.”

Yu Qingjia gently raised her eyebrows, and sharply swept her gaze across the empty space that Yu Qingya passed by earlier,

“You actually tripped inside Yu Laojun's room?”

Yu Qingya stammered a little.

Apparently, she was unable to say anything either.

Yu Laojun had terrible legs, so her servants mostly made sure to keep her room clean, and tidy, without any obstructions.

Also, who would dare to let anything scatter around Yu Laojun's courtyard?

Unless they're looking for death, then obviously none.

The floor is obviously flat, and clean.

They can't even see a speck on it. So how can anyone trip?

Yu Qingya felt the unprecedented feeling of being unable to refute.

She also felt that her tripping over was ridiculous, but she really felt something hitting her legs just now, and then her knees went weak and she couldn't control it at all.

Her entire body then lunged forward.

Even if she had a hundred thousand guts, she would never dare to throw boiling water in front of Yu Laojun at all!
