Jiang Sihe turned her head and whispered softly.
"Sir... please ask Aunt Lin... to help me..."
She felt it was inconvenient for her to see Pei Yanchao at the moment, but she didn't know how to explain her situation to him.
And she had just been carried back by Pei Yanchao. She didn't know if something on her had stained his clothes...
Just as Jiang Sihe secretly stole a glance at his clothes.
Pei Yanchao also lowered his head following her gaze. At the same time, they both saw a spot of bright red blood on the lower hem of his cyan brocade robe...
"You're injured? Where's the wound?"
Aunt Lin couldn't hold it in any longer upon hearing this. She grabbed Pei Yanchao's wrist.
"Master, please come out for a moment..."
Pei Yanchao was pulled to the door. Aunt Lin lowered her voice and said, "Master, this girl seems to have got her period..."
At this, Pei Yanchao, whose face was always fair and cold, blushed slightly. For the first time, he stammered when speaking.
"Then... then what should we do?"
Aunt Lin was taken aback. The always calm and steady master actually seemed like a young lad at this moment...
"We should boil some sugar water and apply a hot water bag on her lower abdomen... But this young lady seems to have more severe symptoms. It should be because she didn't take good care of herself when she was young... We should ask a doctor to prescribe some tonics and let her recuperate slowly... Or..."
Aunt Lin didn't dare to say the rest of the words. Generally, if a woman has irregular menstruation, it will improve after she gets married and has children.
But she really couldn't say this to the innocent master.
"Shall this old servant go and boil the sugar water and prepare the hot water bag?"
Pei Yanchao glanced inside and said uneasily, "Please trouble Aunt Lin to go in and take care of her. I'll go and boil the sugar water!"
"How can we let the master do such things..."
"It's okay. I'll go to the kitchen..."
After saying that, he quickly walked towards the kitchen.
Aunt Lin saw that he almost fell when going down the steps. Suddenly, she realized that the master was shy!
She couldn't help covering her mouth with her sleeve and secretly laughing.
Entering the room, she saw that the girl had covered herself completely with the quilt. She couldn't help walking over quickly.
"Girl, covering yourself with the quilt like this is not good. It's stuffy..."
"Has Lord Pei left?"
Jiang Sihe had recovered a bit by now. She whispered from under the quilt.
Aunt Lin replied with a smile, "Yes, he's left."
Only then did Jiang Sihe breathe a sigh of relief. She lifted the quilt and looked at Aunt Lin with a bit of apology.
"I'm really sorry today. I even soiled your daughter's clothes..."
Jiang Sihe had seen the bloodstain on the back of her skirt just now. She felt really bad about soiling someone else's clothes.
"It doesn't matter. Don't blame yourself. It's just a piece of clothing. May I ask if the girl has prepared sanitary pads?"
Her menstruation was rather irregular. This time, it caught her completely off guard. She shook her head shyly and said, "No!"
"It's okay. I'll go and sew one for you later. Now let me help you change your clothes first!"
Jiang Sihe felt embarrassed and quickly said, "No need. Please bring my clothes later. I can change them by myself..."
"Girl, don't feel embarrassed. This is the hardship of being a woman. You need someone to take care of you at this time!"
Jiang Sihe was slightly touched by the old woman's words. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Auntie!"
"The master has gone to boil sugar water for you. Later, apply a hot water bag on your lower abdomen to ease the pain. You should feel better..."
Hearing that Pei Yanchao had gone to boil sugar water for her, Jiang Sihe couldn't help feeling a bit uncomfortable again. She felt so embarrassed today.
Aunt Lin helped Jiang Sihe change her clothes and then put a hot water bag on her stomach.
After finishing all this, Pei Yanchao had boiled the sugar water. He was standing at the door with a bowl of soup in his hand and gently knocked on the door.
"It should be the master with the sugar water. I'll let him in..."
Just as Jiang Sihe was about to say something, Aunt Lin quickly walked over and opened the door.
"The master is here. Please give the sugar water to the young lady. I'll go and put away the clothes..."
Pei Yanchao retracted his hand that was about to hand over the bowl.
"Okay!" He replied softly to Aunt Lin. Then he carried the bowl into the room.
Jiang Sihe had let down her long hair. She was leaning on the couch. Her face had regained a bit of color and was not as pale as before.
"Are you feeling better?"
Hearing Pei Yanchao's voice, Jiang Sihe nervously pulled the quilt up a bit.
"I'm much better..."
Pei Yanchao sat down beside the couch with the bowl in his hand. He held the bowl with one hand and used a spoon to scoop up some soup. He even blew on it gently.
"Come, drink some sugar water!"
He did these actions smoothly without any thought of avoiding suspicion. Jiang Sihe looked up at him in surprise.
Wasn't this a bit inappropriate?
"Sir, I'd better do it myself..."
Pei Yanchao held the spoon in his hand and didn't seem to intend to give it to Jiang Sihe.
After a moment of stalemate, she had no choice but to give in. She took a sip from the spoon that was stretched out.
After that, Pei Yanchao said nothing and fed her the whole bowl of sugar water spoon by spoon. He even took a handkerchief from the tray to wipe her mouth.
Jiang Sihe was so frightened that she quickly reached out and grabbed the handkerchief to wipe her own mouth.
If she let him wipe her mouth again, she was afraid she would start having wild thoughts again.
"You don't take good care of your own body. Now you know how painful it is when you suffer?"
Pei Yanchao bent down to tidy up the things on the tray. He couldn't help scolding her in a deep voice.
Jiang Sihe was stunned again by his scolding, which was like that of an elder.
"I... this was an accident... I'll be more careful in the future!"
She replied obediently.
Pei Yanchao saw that she looked obedient on the surface, but he knew that she must be thinking something else in her heart!
Just as he was about to scold her again, a voice came from the door.
"Sir, the doctor is here..."
Yan An didn't dare to enter the room or even take a look inside. He just stood at the door with his head down and reported softly.
"I'm fine now. There's no need..."
Jiang Sihe whispered. Pei Yanchao's face darkened. He shot a cold look at her.
"Can you play around with your health?"
Jiang Sihe lowered her head under his scolding.
Pei Yanchao said to Yan An in an indisputable tone.
"Let him in!"
"Sir, there's no female doctor nearby. This subordinate was afraid it would be too late, so I grabbed a rural doctor and rushed back in a hurry!"
Yan An quickly explained.
"It's okay. Let him in!"
After Pei Yanchao said that, he lowered the gauze curtains on both sides of Jiang Sihe's couch.
An old doctor with his head down followed Yan An into the room.
Pei Yanchao stood aside with his hands behind his back. When the old doctor entered the room, he first took a glance at Pei Yanchao. He saw that he was tall and handsome.
He knew that he was not an ordinary person. And the aura around Pei Yanchao showed that he was an official.
Then he looked at the slender and fair wrist stretching out from the couch. It was a young girl. He wondered what the relationship between this girl and the man was...
He walked over carefully. After taking the girl's pulse, he secretly confirmed in his heart that the girl on the couch should be the wife of the official standing aside.
It seemed that this lady had some problems with gynecology.
"Madam, how old are you this year?"
Jiang Sihe stiffened when she was called madam. She quickly opened her mouth to defend herself.
"No... I'm not..."
"Fifteen..."
But Pei Yanchao answered the doctor's question first.
"That's right. It seems that the master dotes on his wife and doesn't want her to conceive too early..."
