Chapter 3 Sincere Repentance

Good question.

Jiang Yutang inwardly criticized the original owner of the body, but said slowly and deliberately, "The situation is urgent."

Just four words.

Cheng Daier wanted to say more, but Jiang Songzhi interrupted her, saying, "Weren't you also startled just now? Although my sister has studied medicine, this was the first time she had ever seen anything like this. It's normal for her to act in a moment of panic."

This time, she fell silent.

After dealing with the leeches, the constable glanced at Cheng Dai'er and asked, "Should we continue?"

Cheng Daier took a deep breath: "I'll believe your nonsense for now, but I'll definitely ask you properly once my brother wakes up."

She emphasized the word "ask".

Jiang Yutang wasn't worried; the next handover point was only a day's journey away.

As long as Cheng Lanzhou doesn't wake up at this point, and the escorts are responsible for transporting them, they won't bother with such trivial matters.

The yamen runners didn't make things difficult for them.

While the two of them were on duty in the capital, the Jiang and Cheng families, though in decline, still maintained a certain reputation in the capital over the years. Although many took advantage of their misfortune, there were also those who did not forget their kindness.

Therefore, he didn't want to go too far.

Moreover, getting money without offending anyone is something many people dream of.

The wine wasn't taken away; it was left behind.

Cheng Daier snatched the wine away, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

"Remember to tighten your trouser legs, preferably by tying them with a rope, otherwise they'll crawl inside again," Jiang Yutang reminded her.

The Cheng family members didn't turn their heads; they went to the very end of the line, keeping a distance from them.

Yun breathed a sigh of relief, then seemed to have thought of something: "Tang'er, could your father also have leeches on him?"

"Don't rush, let me see."

Jiang Yutang wanted to call her "Mother," but after a long pause, she swallowed the words back.

When the secret letter was exposed, Jiang Shengan and Cheng Lanzhou were summoned to the palace by the emperor, punished with beatings, and carried out.

The person was lying on the trolley, unconscious.

Beside the stroller stood three people: the fourth brother, Jiang Sumin, who had difficulty walking; the eldest sister-in-law, Mu, who was holding a one-year-old girl; and the second sister-in-law, Zhu, who was heavily pregnant.

Including her, Yun Shi, Jiang Songzhi, her second brother Jiang Jiuzhe, and her third brother Jiang Huaiyu, there were nine people in total, which made up the entire Jiang family.

Jiang Sheng'an was badly injured, and to prevent sweating from causing inflammation of the wound, Jiang Sumin tore off a piece of cloth to shield Jiang Sheng'an from the sun.

Upon seeing Jiang Yutang approach, his expression involuntarily turned grim.

"Fourth Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law," Jiang Yutang called out, "I've come to examine Father."

Mu and Zhu responded softly, without saying anything more.

Jiang Sumin sneered: "Didn't you say the other day that you couldn't stand the sight of blood and had forgotten all your medical skills? What, have you remembered them now?"

Jiang Yutang was not surprised by his attitude.

In reality, during this period of the dream, the Jiang family members all harbored some resentment towards the original owner, and it was common for them to make sarcastic remarks to her. However, they were all all bark and no bite.

Otherwise, her three older brothers wouldn't have bothered with her just now.

Jiang Sumin was the same; in his dream, he was dragged to death by bandits on horseback while trying to save the original owner of the body.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yutang felt a surge of frustration.

She had no parents and was raised by her grandfather alone. Although her grandfather gave her a lot of love, she always longed for a complete family.

She didn't understand why she was still not satisfied when the original owner had such good parents and brothers who treated her so well.

She gathered her thoughts and said earnestly, "I was wrong before, Fourth Brother, Mother, I won't cause trouble anymore."

"What trick are you playing now?" Jiang Sumin asked blankly, clearly not believing him.

Jiang Yutang had said these words countless times. Every time she made a mistake, she would put on a pitiful look, and then they would feel sorry for her and couldn't bear to punish her.

Time and time again, each time more outrageous than the last...

Jiang Sumin's expression turned pained, and his eyes reddened. What right did he have to blame Jiang Yutang?

If they had disciplined Jiang Yutang strictly back then, how could he have become the way he is today?

All of this was indirectly caused by them.

Although Jiang Yutang didn't know what he was thinking, she could guess that it was because of her.

She quickly replied, "I'm serious."

Jiang Sumin waved his hand, moved with difficulty, and made way for him. Jiang Yutang stepped forward to help him, but he avoided her.

Finally, Jiang Songzhi helped the person away.

There were no doctors in the exile group; she was the only one who knew medicine.

Fearing that Jiang Yutang might change his mind again, Madam Yun said anxiously, "Tang'er, quickly show your father a good look."

Jiang Yutang nodded, her gaze falling on Jiang Shengan.

Even though I've seen it many times in my dreams, the impact of seeing the wound in person is still very strong.

The twenty strokes of the cane in the palace were different from those elsewhere. If one was in poor health, their spine would be broken, and even if they didn't die, they would be crippled for life.

Jiang Shengan's back was covered in so much flesh that there wasn't a single good piece of flesh; in some places, you could even see the bare bones.

After three days, some parts of the wound had formed a thin scab, but most of it was still a bloody mess.

She remembered that there was medicine for treating external injuries in her backpack, and with that thought, she immediately got up and ran towards where the backpack was hidden.

"Tang'er!"

Yun panicked, thinking that she couldn't bear it anymore and didn't want to be treated.

Jiang Sumin's face was beyond ugly; he muttered a curse under his breath, "A leopard can't change its spots."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang Yutang suddenly ran back, carrying a black package in her hand. The package was very unusual and unlike anything she had ever seen before.

"What is this?" Jiang Songzhi asked in confusion.

"This... I found this. I just peeked inside and there was medicine inside, which can treat Dad's injury."

Jiang Yutang quickly changed the subject, making up a random excuse: "Father's injury is serious and must be treated as soon as possible."

After saying that, she ignored the others, opened the package, took out iodine and rinsed the wound, then took out Yunnan Baiyao, crushed it, and sprinkled it on Jiang Shengan's back. After that, she took out gauze and bandages and wrapped the entire back evenly.

Finally, I took out the anti-inflammatory medicine, looked around and saw there was no water, so I just put it under his tongue.

If we're about to lose our lives, what does a little suffering matter?

The entire set of movements was so fluid and graceful that the Yun family members were dumbfounded.

"Tang'er, what is this white, net-like thing?"

Jiang Yutang didn't know how to explain, so she simply imitated the original owner's angry expression: "I've already treated them all, do you still want me to explain the steps to you one by one? Isn't that annoying?"

Although the acting was stiff, the effect was very good, and the group indeed stopped asking questions.

Yun was always gentle and was used to Jiang Yutang's unpredictable temper, so she didn't take it to heart.

Seeing the worried and haggard faces of the family, who were once wealthy and pampered, now suffering such a fate due to the original owner's actions, and with her soul transmigrated into the body of this wicked woman, Jiang Yutang felt a strange sense of guilt.

Currently, until she finds a way back, she can only weather the storm with the family members in the book.
