Chapter 40: The Bustling General's Mansion.
Liu Weimin was so frightened he bolted, but he kept on talking: "You don't want your commission anymore?"
Xiao Yingchun sneered: "You may have snatched the order, but don't forget, they've only signed the contract; they haven't paid yet!"
"What makes you think they'll honor that contract?! Have you read it carefully?"
"They haven't paid yet, and the boss is giving you a commission?"
"What the hell are you thinking!"
"Get lost!"
After sending Liu Weimin away, Xiao Yingchun angrily gathered up her broom and sat back down behind the counter, her eyes unconsciously glancing towards the back door.
I wonder if Fu Chen'an's injuries have healed... When will he be able to come back?
...
When he was taken back to the Marshal's Mansion, Fu Chen'an regained consciousness for a moment, only to hear a woman with a gruff voice yell, "Brother An, what's wrong?"
Relieved, he closed his eyes and passed out.
The scabbed wound had opened, bleeding profusely, and healing was proving difficult.
The imperial physician arrived, as did the emperor's envoy, Hu Jiaying. Even the crown prince had come.
After examining him, the various immortals unanimously concluded that Fu Chen'an's injuries were serious and required rest and recuperation.
The emperor then arranged for sixteen beautiful, delicate women to arrive, euphemistically dubbed them "attendants of General Fu."
Fu Chen'an was handsome and strong, and the maids scrambled to serve him.
Unexpectedly, as they reached the gate of Fu Chen'an's courtyard, they were met by a young woman with a face full of flesh, holding two butcher knives in her hands. "Who dares to enter my brother's room?"
The maids were unconvinced: "We were appointed by His Majesty to serve General Fu. How can you not let us in?"
"I, Niu Shiniang, said no, and I won't! You wicked women, don't you think I know what you are up to?"
"Brother An can't even move. What are you thinking? Taking advantage of him?"
"No way!"
"Want to serve him? See that little kitchen over there? Go cook!
" "Brother An loves delicious food and has a big appetite. You're serving him by bringing it here. Brother An will only get better if he's well fed!"
The maids looked at each other.
The one closest to the front was pushed from behind by someone and stumbled towards Niu Shiniang.
"Ah!" The maid who was pushed out, with a hint of triumph amidst her fear, rushed towards Niu Shiniang.
Niu Shiniang refused to retreat, raising her powerful left leg and delivering a powerful kick to the chest.
"┗|｀O′|┛Ah~~"
the maidservant, struck in the chest, choked and collapsed unconscious.
"Ah!"
"Murder!"
The other maidservants, terrified, rushed to the small kitchen.
"I'll go cook!"
"I'll pick the vegetables!"
"I'll make the soup..."
The courtyard gate was now quiet, and Niu Shiniang, satisfied, snorted, hooked her left foot, and pulled a bamboo chair over, sitting directly under the loquat tree outside the gate.
"I'll be on guard here today. I'll see who dares to go in!"
Inside the house, the old doctor Niu Gensheng was cleaning Fu Chenan's wound, and he kept saying, "This wound is strange. It looks so deep, but it's not festering..."
After cleaning the wound, Niu Gensheng took out a packet of medicine powder from his arms, poured a little on Fu Chenan's wound, and took out a stitch-free patch and stuck it on Fu Chenan's wound.
The guards next to him saw it and nodded repeatedly, "This is how Doctor Niu treated us when we were in the army." After
Niu Gensheng finished treating all of Fu Chenan's wounds, he stuffed two anti-inflammatory pills into Fu Chenan's mouth and drank water. Then he said, "Are these medicines that the little calf asked you to bring back really so effective?"
"Of course! Old doctor, you don't know how many of our brothers' lives this medicine has saved..."

All these were bought by General Fu from a mysterious shop.
Before returning, the Marshal personally instructed them: Be sure to protect General Fu, and not to reveal a single word to outsiders about the mysterious shop and the things inside.
So they only dared to give the medicine that Doctor Niu asked them to bring back to Doctor Niu's father: Old Doctor Niu Gensheng.
Niu Gensheng is an honest man, loyal to the Marshal and his son, and trustworthy.
Sure enough, after General Fu returned home, various imperial doctors and the Crown Prince had the first round of examinations. Niu Gensheng then asked Niu Shiniang to keep all outsiders out, and he took care of the case himself.
Anyway, the courtyard was full of guards left by the Crown Prince, in the name of protection, but in fact it meant surveillance.
Fu Chenan didn't wake up, and the guards didn't dare to act rashly.
They would guard, and they would guard too.
If you don't move, I won't move either, so we
'll just wait and see. Everything will have to wait until Fu Chenan wakes up.
When Fu Chenan woke up, it was dark.
An oil lamp as small as a bean illuminated the dim room, and a gray-haired person lying on the bed, snoring.
Fu Chenan reached out and pushed.
Niu Gensheng suddenly got up and met Fu Chenan's face with a faint smile.
"Uncle Niu, I'm fine." Fu Chenan's voice was tired and hoarse.
"You kid! You scared your uncle Niu to death!" Niu Gensheng said as he turned on the oil lamp and went out to ask Niu Shiniang to prepare food and bring it in.
Niu Shiniang wiped the oil on her mouth, picked up a plate and handed it to her father first: "Dad, this is something An Ge'er can't eat. I can't eat it anymore, you eat it."
She took the other plate and walked into the house.
Niu Gensheng knew that it was made by those beautiful maids, so he didn't act pretentiously. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
Niu Shiniang wanted to feed Fu Chenan, but Fu Chenan didn't let her. He wanted to eat it himself. He was afraid that Niu Shiniang would choke him to death.
Niu Shiniang had no choice but to carefully help Fu Chenan sit up and put the bowl and chopsticks into his hands: "Eat."
Fu Chenan was hungry and ate quite a bit before putting down the bowl and chopsticks: "Did you make this?"
It didn't taste like it!
Niu Shiniang rolled her eyes and her voice was deliberately low and rough: "Those goblins outside made this..."
Niu Shiniang explained the origins of those goblins and her behavior of stopping them.
Fu Chenan nodded in praise: "Well done! You are worthy of being my sister Niu!"
Niu Shiniang was instantly happy: "That's what I should do."
Seeing that he had finished eating, Niu Shiniang handed him another bowl of medicine: "This is a decoction for calming the nerves. My father said that getting more sleep will help your injury recover."
Fu Chenan thought of that smiling face and his heart warmed: even if it was just to see her earlier, he should get better soon.
Fu Chenan picked up the bowl of medicine and drank it all.
Feeling sleepy, Fu Chenan covered himself with the quilt in a daze: "I'll sleep for a while..."
Niu Shiniang laid him flat and covered him with the quilt, then walked out of the house and sat down on the doorstep to take a nap.
Niu Gensheng was full and walked over to kick his daughter: "Go to the next room to sleep."
Niu Shiniang said drowsily: "No, it's not like we haven't slept under the eaves before..."
Besides, it's hot now, and it's cooler outside than inside the house.
Niu Gensheng stopped talking, went back into the house and lay down beside Fu Chenan's bed. After a while, two snoring sounds came one after another from inside and outside the house.
The two groups of people guarding outside the yard looked at each other: How could General Fu sleep with such thunder-like snoring? !
Even a dead person would be woken up, right?
Fortunately, Fu Chenan drank the tranquilizing soup... He couldn't hear anything.
