Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Duan Yunfei Is at My Place About a quarter of an hour later, there was a knock on the door. Shen Qinglan opened the door, took the items Aunt Yang had prepared and said, "Aunt Yang, thank you for your trouble. It’s going to rain soon, you should go home and rest early." The bloody smell in the room had already been dealt with by Shen Qinglan, so Aunt Yang, standing outside the door, didn’t smell anything. After all, having worked in a wealthy household, Aunt Yang had suspicions but didn’t ask any questions. She smiled and said, "Then you should also rest early, young lady. Just call me if you need anything." Shen Qinglan nodded. After seeing off Aunt Yang, Shen Qinglan then brought the hot water into the room, took off Duan Yunfei’s outer robe, and helped him onto the bed to lie face down. She used a needle to pick a thin thread from the Ice Silkworm Skirt, then threw both the needle and thread into the hot water to soak. After soaking for a while, she took it out to dry and threaded the needle. After cleaning the wound and bringing the candle flame close, she said in a low voice, "There’s no anesthetic, so you’ll have to endure it." With that, she began stitching Duan Yunfei’s wound, thread by thread, occasionally roasting the needle’s tip with the candle flame. During this process, Duan Yunfei awoke from the pain but then fainted again, repeating this several times. His stunning features had lost all color, leaving only paleness. Once the wound was stitched up, Shen Qinglan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she poured out the bloody water and returned, the rain began to pour down. In the early morning, Duan Yunfei developed a high fever, his face flushed red with heat. Outside, the heavy rain continued with no sign of stopping. Shen Qinglan used a cloth to catch the rainwater and occasionally changed the compresses on him. It wasn’t until around 3 a.m. that Duan Yunfei’s fever subsided. The sound of rain still pattered on the roof, the wind howled endlessly, and the branches outside the window swayed, as if countless wild beasts were roaring. Having missed the window to sleep, Shen Qinglan no longer felt drowsy and sat at the table until dawn’s faint light appeared. She then picked up an oil-paper umbrella and went out of the room. She wandered around the streets and found that the town’s pharmacies were not yet open, so she had no choice but to head toward Shengxiang Restaurant. Just as she reached the entrance, she saw Old Tang leading people hurrying over. Apart from a few waiters from the restaurant, the two Xuan Family brothers with disheveled hair followed behind him. The two brothers both looked unwell, deathly pale, with several minor injuries on them. As soon as Old Tang saw her, he hurriedly said, "Miss Shen, the restaurant is not open today, you should go back and rest, ah!" After saying that, he was about to leave with his men. Shen Qinglan quickly pulled him back but before she could speak, Old Tang said anxiously, "Oh dear, young lady, whatever it is, wait until I get back, I have urgent matters!" The Xuan Family brothers mentioned that while returning to Jinxi Town, they fell into the enemy’s entice-the-tiger-away-from-the-mountain strategy, and Duan Yunfei is now missing, which made him extremely anxious. After all, he’s the only Young Master of Yongning Manor. If anything happened, what would they do? Old Tang was almost in tears but Shen Qinglan still didn’t let him go. Only to hear her say, "Duan Yunfei is with me. He was seriously injured and had a high fever last night, he’s already unconscious." "What?" Xuan Ying, who had a vacant look, suddenly regained his focus and hurriedly grabbed Shen Qinglan’s hand, asking, "You said the Young Master is with you?" Shen Qinglan pulled her hand back and nodded. "Oh dear!" Old Tang patted his chest and said, "Why didn’t you say so earlier, you scared me to death!" Shen Qinglan: ... Did you give me a chance to speak?
