In that instant, a trace of hesitation flashed through Wei Ruo’s mind. But she quickly pushed the hesitation away—she ultimately couldn’t bring herself to leave someone to die.

She was now Xu Heyou, not Wei Qingruo. If the man turned out to be a problem, she could just toss him back into the mountains to feed the wild dogs once he recovered!

With that thought, Wei Ruo took out the hemostatic powder* she always carried with her and roughly sprinkled it over the wounds on the man’s front.

*Hemostatic powder is a type of medicinal substance used to stop bleeding quickly. It works by promoting blood clotting at the site of a wound.

There were also wounds on his back, but since the carriage was narrow and the road bumpy, Wei Ruo didn’t risk turning the man over.

This hemostatic medicine could effectively help stop bleeding and disinfect in a short time, giving the man a better chance at survival.

When the carriage arrived at Wei Ruo’s manor, Wei Ruo stayed in the carriage with the injured man while Xiumei went to find Steward Yu.

After Steward Yu arrived, under his arrangements, Wei Ruo and Xiumei helped carry the man down from the carriage.

“Miss, there’s an unused old room at the far east side of the estate,” said Steward Yu.

“No one else saw, right?” Wei Ruo asked.

“Rest assured, Miss, only me.”

“Good.”

The three of them worked together to move the injured man into the unused old room in the east.

This room used to be occupied by the servants living on the estate, but recently, Wei Ruo had arranged new, unified accommodations for all the workers, so this room was vacated.

After placing the man on the bed, Wei Ruo instructed Steward Yu to fetch medicinal herbs.

Wei Ruo happened to be making medicinal powder in the newly built workshop, and there were still some herbs on the estate that she could use.

Then Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to boil hot water and bring some charcoal fire. The hot water would be used later to clean the man’s wounds, and the charcoal would warm the room to make the upcoming treatment more comfortable.

When Steward Yu returned with the herbs and saw that Wei Ruo was about to remove the injured man’s clothing, he hurried forward and said, “Miss, let me handle this. I know that saving lives is the priority and you don’t mind these formalities, but if something can be avoided, it should be. After all, this old man may not be good at much, but applying medicine is something I can manage. Just tell me what to do, and I’ll learn.”

His tone was sincere, and his gaze concerned.

Over time, Steward Yu had come to understand what kind of person his young mistress was—she would help homeless refugees and show compassion to the laborers working on the estate.

So he wasn’t surprised that she would rescue someone, but he still hoped that within his abilities, he could protect her reputation as much as possible. A good girl like her should have a good marriage in the future!

After thinking it over for a moment, Wei Ruo said, “Alright, I’ll leave it to you. In that basin of hot water over there, I’ve already added the medicine. Soak the clean gauze in it and use it to carefully clean the wounds all over his body.”

She added, “After cleaning, apply the powder from the porcelain bottle labeled ‘wound medicine’ to the knife wounds. If the injury is just a scrape, use the powder I’ve just mixed in the bowl. Since it’s winter and the weather is cold, after applying the medicine, wrap the wounds with gauze. If you can’t wrap it properly, just cover him with a clean blanket first.”

“Alright, I’ve got it. Miss, it’s cold outside, so please wait in the room next door. I’ll call you once it’s done,” Steward Yu said.

After Wei Ruo and Xiumei went out, they didn’t sit idle—they began decocting medicine using the herbs available.

The variety of herbs on the estate wasn’t very complete at the moment, so Wei Ruo had to simplify the prescription.

Author’s Notes:

Steward Yu (in his heart): A wild man’s body shouldn’t be seen by the young miss—it would sully her eyes.
