PDLP Chapter 215 Holiday
Chapter 215 Holiday
Once the dizziness subsided and the bleeding on his forehead had mostly stopped, Xiao Fu managed to get up from the ground.
Who would have thought that just getting up to use the outhouse in the middle of the night would lead to tripping over the threshold on the way back?
Xiao Fu herself felt incredibly embarrassed to tell anyone.
Lighting a candle, Xiao Fu grimaced as he tended to the wound on his forehead in front of the mirror, then forced a bitter smile at his reflection.
This was so outrageous that she believed in the authenticity of fortune telling for the first time.
If she had known it was so effective, she would have consulted more thoroughly during the day to see if there were any ways to resolve it.
To avoid having to go through this late at night.
It's no wonder they suffer.
I extinguished the candle again and slowly lay back down on the bed.
The drowsiness I felt earlier had vanished without a trace after that fall.
The wound on my forehead was still throbbing, a reminder not to ignore its presence.
Xiao Fu stared into the dark room with his eyes wide open, still managing to find humor in his misery: "I guess my bloodshed is over? Or should I go back to that stall when it's light?"
By constantly letting her mind wander, Xiao Fu successfully ignored the pain in her forehead and managed to fall asleep.
When she got up again and sat in front of the bronze mirror, seeing her miserable reflection, she suddenly didn't want to leave the room.
Of course, there are some things we still have to face.
Xiao Fu let out a long breath, tidied her hair and makeup, and mustered her courage to resolutely step out.
As they approached the door of the main house, Qianrong immediately noticed her red and blue wounds and asked in confusion, "Sister Xiaofu, what happened to you?"
"Don't even mention it." Xiao Fu gave a wry smile. "It's all tears when I talk about it. But it's not a big problem, I'll be fine in a couple of days."
"Then you must be extra careful these next two days."
"I know, go in quickly."
When I stepped into the room, Wei Dongning was already up, staring at Xiao Fu's forehead with a hesitant expression.
After thinking for a moment, she swallowed her question: "Do you remember where you put the wound medicine I brought from home? Take it back and use it; it will help you recover faster."
It wasn't that she didn't want to ask, but she was worried that Xiao Fu would feel embarrassed if she asked in front of so many people.
Besides, we can ask Xiao Wu, who's still half asleep, what happened last night.
It was just that Xiao Fu bumped into something.
Seeing that Wei Dongning didn't press the matter, Xiao Fu felt a great sense of relief: "Thank you, Madam."
She genuinely felt ashamed about what happened last night.
Wei Dongning waved her hand, glanced at the location of her wound again, and then grimaced as she looked away.
Gu Peiyan watched as if he were watching a play, with his wife as the lead actress, and the play was called "Changing Faces".
The next second, Wei Dongning leaned against him: "I feel like Xiao Fu has enabled pain sharing for me."
"Ok?"
"When I see the cut on Xiao Fu's forehead, I feel like my forehead is hurting too."
Gu Peiyan didn't quite understand this feeling yet, but she still nodded in agreement.
"It seems that the old man's calculations yesterday were quite accurate; now I'm tempted to get mine done too."
"According to what you told me, if something had really happened, that old man would have reminded you yesterday. Since he didn't mention it, then nothing has happened, so just let nature take its course."
"You're right."
"Hurry up and pack, we still need to pay our respects to Father later."
Gu Song has been extremely busy lately because of the upcoming scientific expedition.
Not to mention Wei Dongning, even Gu Peiyan has rarely seen Gu Song lately.
Finally, both father and son had a day off today. Before going to bed last night, Gu Peiyan had discussed with Wei Dongning that they would take Gu Song to the estate to visit their aunt Gu Shuang.
This will allow Gu Song to relax a bit.
Wei Dongning has never had any objections to not having to make plans and just following along.
She quickly tidied herself up, had Xiao Fu help her comb her hair, and then moved closer to Gu Peiyan, ready to go out with him.
Just as she stepped out the door, Wei Dongning suddenly stopped.
Even Gu Peiyan was pulled so hard she stumbled: "Xiao Fu, you can stay home and play with Xiao Wu today. You need to rest more after you're injured, especially your head, which is very sensitive. If you feel unwell, go see a doctor as soon as possible."
"Yes, young lady."
Seeing Xiao Fu's relieved expression, Wei Dongning knew that she had made the right decision, so she pulled Gu Peiyan and continued walking towards Gu Song's courtyard.
After walking a distance, Gu Peiyan finally asked the question that had been bothering her: "Why didn't you let Xiaofu come with you?"
It wasn't that he didn't care about his servants; it was just that Xiao Fu's behavior didn't seem that serious.
"What girl doesn't care about her appearance? Besides, Xiao Fu's wound is so obvious, everyone can see it, how embarrassing for her. Besides, you have a day off, isn't it normal for Xiao Fu to rest for a day?"
“That makes sense.” Gu Peiyan quickly accepted Wei Dongning’s statement, turned to Qian Rong who was following them, and instructed, “You don’t need to come along today either. Take a day off.”
Qianrong listened to their conversation word for word, never expecting that he could get such a good thing.
After realizing what was happening, she immediately thanked them, "Thank you, young mistress, thank you, young master."
As he turned to leave, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
Gu Peiyan narrowed her eyes, staring at Qian Rong's departing figure: "Why did this kid thank you first today?"
"You're not jealous of this kind of thing, are you?"
