Chapter 507 Beauty Can Soothe Pain
As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, the sound of swords being drawn rang out all around.
Yu Wan was held tightly in his arms, and screams rose and fell around her.
She instinctively grabbed Yun Shang's collar.
Seemingly sensing her fear, Yun Shang gently pressed the back of her head and hugged her tighter, saying, "It's alright, don't be afraid."
Yu Wan didn't see the bloodstains on the ground, but Xi Zhu did.
She was protected by the guards and watched helplessly as the men in black fell one by one.
She had never seen such a bloody scene before, and her legs went weak, making it almost impossible for her to stand.
Fortunately, this one-sided and brutal massacre ended not long afterward.
Yun Shang coldly instructed the guards to clean up the mess, then turned and carried Yu Wan toward the carriage not far away, with the guards also helping Xi Zhu to follow.
Once they were away from the stench of blood, Yun Shang released his hand from Yu Wan's eyes, making sure she had her back to the corpses.
After being put down by Yun Shang, Yu Wan realized that her legs were already weak and she couldn't stand up at all.
Upon seeing this, Yun Shang immediately picked her up and carried her horizontally.
Xizhu stumbled forward, tears streaming down her face, choking back sobs, "M-Master, are you alright?"
Yu Wan patted Yun Shang's arm, telling him not to move, then turned to Xi Zhu and smiled, "Don't cry, your girl is lucky and will be fine."
Seeing that Yu Wan didn't seem to be lying, Xi Zhu finally smiled through her tears.
A smile had just appeared on her face when suddenly her eyes rolled back and she fell straight to the side.
Yu Wan was startled, "Xizhu—"
Fortunately, a guard caught Xizhu in time. "Madam, there's no need to be nervous. Miss Xizhu just fainted because of a sudden emotional upheaval."
Yu Wan breathed a sigh of relief and told him to take good care of Xizhu.
Yun Shang then carried Yu Wan into the carriage.
As soon as Yu Wan sat down, she saw Yun Shang suddenly reach out to her, his hand landing directly on her collar.
Yu Wan instinctively flinched, "What are you doing?"
Yun Shang's thin lips were pressed tightly together, his expression indifferent. "Check him over to see if he's injured anywhere."
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, because once he did, Yu Wan belatedly realized that her whole body was in pain.
Especially the hands.
Yu Wan looked down at her hands.
Only then did he realize that his palms had been rubbed raw and bloody by the reins, and there were several bloody marks on his wrists from sharp blades.
She was under so much stress that she didn't even notice the pain.
Previously, Yu Wan's hands had been hidden in her sleeves, and Yun Shang had not noticed them due to a moment of carelessness.
Looking at Yu Wan's bloodied and mangled hands, he felt both heartache and self-reproach.
Taking out a medicine box from a hidden compartment in the carriage, Yun Shang gently took her hands in his arms: "I'll apply some medicine to stop the bleeding first, and then we'll find Elder Feng to treat it once we enter the city."
Yu Wan nodded.
The moment the powder was sprinkled on the wound, she gasped in pain, and her fingers trembled involuntarily.
Yun Shang immediately softened her movements, gently blowing on the medicine as she applied it: "It'll be done soon."
His eyes were gentle, and his previous aloofness seemed to have never existed.
Yu Wan tried to distract herself by staring at him, and for a moment she really didn't feel the pain anymore.
Sure enough, beauty can relieve pain.
……
At this hour, Old Man Feng had already returned to the Yun residence, so Yun Shang had no choice but to return as well.
The news that Yun Shang was carrying Yu Wan to find Old Man Feng had quickly reached the Shen family.
Shen rushed over as well.
When she arrived, Old Man Feng was cleaning Yu Wan's wounds.
Yu Wan's hands were not only chafed raw by the reins, but also covered in dust and pebbles from rolling on the ground. Some stones got stuck in her flesh, and Old Man Feng could only remove them little by little with bamboo tweezers.
Xi Zhu, on the other hand, was protected by Yu Wan the whole time and did not suffer any serious injuries.
When she saw Yu Wan's wound, she burst into tears.
Originally, only she was crying, but when Madam Shen arrived, it became two people crying.
Old Man Feng was driven crazy by the two crying. After enduring it for a while, he couldn't hold back any longer and pointed outside, "If you don't want Yu'er's hand to be ruined, then go outside and cry."
The crying of Shen and Xizhu stopped abruptly.
Madam Shen wiped away her tears, forcing back her heartache, and said, "Old Master Feng, you must heal Yu Niang's hand."
Old Master Feng waved his hand: "Get out, get out, don't get in the way."
Xizhu didn't dare to say another word and followed Madam Shen out with her head hanging low.
The room fell silent, with only the sound of Old Man Feng intently tending to his wounds.
Yun Shang stood to the side, his gaze never leaving Yu Wan's hand.
A shadow of malice flashed in his eyes as he looked at the hideous wound on her palm.
"How did things get like this after just one trip out?" Old Man Feng sighed. "Bear with it, Yu girl."
Yu Wan forced a smile. "It's nothing."
She can still hold on.
Yun Shang suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his arm in front of Yu Wan: "If it hurts, bite me."
Yu Wan looked up at him and saw his outstretched arm, and couldn't help but chuckle: "I'm not a child..."
Before she could finish speaking, a sharp pain struck her, and she instinctively opened her mouth and bit the arm in front of her.
When Yu Wan came to her senses, she realized that her mouth was full of the taste of blood, so she quickly let go.
A bloody bite mark was visible on Yun Shang's arm, but he remained unfazed.
Old Feng worked quickly and finished bandaging the wound: "Alright, don't get it wet for the next few days, and change the dressing on time."
“Your hand…” Yu Wan looked up, her face full of guilt.
"It's nothing, it doesn't hurt at all." Yun Shang said softly, then turned to ask Old Man Feng in a calm tone, "Is she alright?"
"No bones or tendons were injured, just some superficial wounds." Old Feng packed his medicine box. "If you apply the medicine on time, it won't leave any marks."
Yun Shang was finally relieved.
Inside the house, Yu Wan finally managed to persuade Madam Shen to leave. She took the tea that Yun Shang handed her and took a big gulp. "Yun Shang, how did you end up outside the city?"
"I went back to the manor and learned that something had happened at the workshop. I felt something was wrong, so I took some people and rushed over there."
Fortunately, he got there in time, otherwise Yu Wan would have...
Yun Shang didn't even dare to think about what he would have seen if he had arrived even a moment later.
Yu Wan wanted to ask something more, but Yun Shang picked her up without allowing her to refuse: "We'll talk about these things later. You need to take a bath and rest now."
The maids had prepared hot water and clean clothes in the bath room long ago.
Yu Wan originally wanted to wash herself, but she couldn't refuse Yun Shang, so she had to let him do it.
Yun Shang helped her take off her clothes, and when he saw the blue and purple abrasions on her body, his eyes suddenly darkened.
His fingertips trembled slightly as he carefully avoided the wound and helped her remove her clothes.
“I can do it myself…” Yu Wan’s cheeks flushed slightly as she tried to take the handkerchief.
Yun Shang avoided her hand, "Your hands are also injured, how can you wash them?"
Yu Wan glanced at her hands, which were wrapped up like rice dumplings, and fell silent.
Forget it, what's there to be shy about? It's not like we've never seen it before.
With constant self-hypnosis, Yu Wan quickly found herself comfortable enjoying being served.
When he carried her back to bed, Yu Wan was already drowsy.
Yun Shang tucked her in and whispered, "Go to sleep. I'll stay here with you."
Yu Wan's eyelids twitched, and she murmured, "Yun...Shang, we must find out who's behind this. They harmed the workers in my workshop..."
"Wang the Cripple and the others... were already pitiful enough, but now they've died without any explanation..."
Yun Shang's eyes were cold and deep.
Someone died in the workshop?!
