General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 729 Wu Mengniang’s miserable appearance (1)

"But this logic is correct!" Aunt Li was not stupid. She knew what Ji Xiaou meant. But it was undeniable that if the Liu family had not divorced and expelled Ji Xiaou, Ji Xiaou would still be working as a maid in the Liu family, and might even be worse than a maid.

"I can't argue with you two!" Aunt Wu said sullenly. She didn't want to refute because she also felt that they were right.

"Okay, tell me quickly, where is Wu Mengniang now?" Aunt Li glared at Aunt Wu and asked.

"...Where else could she be? Of course, in my house." Aunt Wu rolled her eyes at Aunt Li. "We told everyone that we had sent her away, but there was no one in her family anymore. Where else could I send her? I could only clean up the firewood room at home and let her live there reluctantly."

"Aren't you afraid that your son will make trouble with you?" Aunt Li raised her eyebrows.

"Of course I'm making a fuss! I showed him a match before, and he fell in love with the third girl from the Xu family in the neighboring village. I was just about to arrange a betrothal for him! But something happened to Wu Mengniang. If people knew that Wu Mengniang was in my house..." How could Aunt Wu not be worried, but she had no way to drive Wu Mengniang away.

"Let's go!" said Ji Xiaomu.

Aunt Wu glanced at Ji Xiaou and saw her nod. Then she took Ji Xiaou and Aunt Li to the back door of the Wu family. The back door was the woodroom, where Wu Mengniang was sleeping on the bed.

As soon as Ji Xiaou entered the room, she heard Wu Mengniang's panting. She frowned and hurried forward.

I touched her forehead and it was burning hot.

She has a high fever.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Wu and Aunt Li were stunned when they saw Ji Xiaomu's actions and walked over.

"She has a high fever. It should be an infection caused by the wounds on her body." Ji Xiaomu checked Wu Mengniang's body. There were wounds of all sizes on her body, new and old wounds stacked on top of each other. The old wounds had not healed yet, and new wounds had appeared. The wounds were all festering. It would be strange if she was not infected.

Seeing the miserable state of Wu Mengniang, Aunt Li and Aunt Wu were both shocked, and Aunt Wu was even more shocked. "I thought she was just beaten, but I didn't expect her injuries were so serious! No wonder she didn't let me apply medicine for her injuries... The wound is festering, it must be so painful! She actually endured it all the time..."

"It's difficult to treat her here. We have to take her back." Aunt Ji frowned and took Wu Mengniang back to the Li family together with Aunt Li.

Originally, Ji Xiaomu wanted to take Wu Mengniang back to her own home, but Aunt Li refused no matter what. She said that now besides her, there was only Uncle Li in the Li family, and their son and daughter-in-law were not at home. The room was empty, and no one would notice if Wu Mengniang stayed there temporarily. So Ji Xiaomu let her go.

When the three of them worked together to take off all of Wu Mengniang's clothes, Aunt Li and Aunt Wu couldn't help but redden their eyes when they looked at the wounds on her body. More than one wound on her body had festering, and the pus had stuck to her clothes and dried up. Taking off her clothes was equivalent to tearing the wound open again.

Wu Mengniang, who was suffering from a high fever, opened her eyes because of the pain. When she saw Ji Xiaomu in front of her, she thought she was dreaming and fainted before she could even open her mouth.

Aunt Ji was responsible for taking off her clothes, while Aunt Li used boiled warm water to wash her body and wounds, and Aunt Wu cooperated by holding a towel to wipe her body.

Mother Ji invited Yun Sisi and Duan Yue to come over. After Yun Sisi took Wu Mengniang's pulse and checked her wounds, she immediately wrote a prescription. Duan Yue went to get the medicine without saying a word. After she boiled the medicine and fed it to Wu Mengniang, after a while, Wu Mengniang's high fever subsided and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
