"Wounds need to be treated eventually. Do you have any medicine here? If you don't, I can get some from my room. "
Jia Baobao said and was about to get up.
Jia Rong quickly reached out to stop him, "Yes, yes, ugh …"
He accidentally pulled on his wound again, and his facial features scrunched up into a ball.
"Uncle Bao, I have everything in my room. It's in that cabinet."
Jia Rong pointed at the cabinet at the side.
Jia Baobao rummaged through it and found that there was a lot of medicine inside. It was a big box full of medicine. People who didn't know would think that his family owned a pharmacy.
What kind of life was he living!
When Jia Baobao brought the medicine over, he hesitated and refused to let her apply it.
The System whispered, "Hmm, he won't let you do it."
Jia Baobao said, "… How can you be so dirty!"
Jia Rong whispered, "Uncle Bao … I know you care about your nephew, but this kind of work can be left to the servants. I … I've seen my wounds when I was beaten before. It's so ugly. Don't hurt uncle's eyes."
Jia Baobao didn't want to talk nonsense with him. He rolled up his sleeves and was ready to force himself on.
The System said, "Oh, you're forcing yourself on me."
Jia Baobao said angrily, "I'll block you if you keep talking."
The System said, "Okay, okay, I won't disturb you. I'm going to eat some melons. Kacha — —"
Jia Rong's face turned red. He was ashamed and self-abased.
"If you don't let me apply the medicine, then I'm leaving." Jia Baobao pretended to leave.
"Don't …" Jia Rong's expression changed. He murmured, "Uncle Bao, don't go."
Jia Baobao didn't know why, but the image of the little puppy barking pitifully appeared in his mind.
Jia Baobao turned around and said, "Is there something wrong with your body? I didn't turn you into a dog that day. If I had that ability, why would I still stay in the house? Why would I be beaten up by Master all day long? "
Jia Rong thought for a while and his face turned pale.
He nervously grabbed Jia Baobao's sleeves and said with heartache, "How could he be so cruel? How could she be so ruthless to someone like you? "
Jia Rong's heart ached when he thought of this.
"Everyone else thinks that we're the young masters of the House of High Dukes and that we're living like gods. How would they know about our hardships? My father himself is fooling around everywhere, yet he says I'm licentious and shameless. If he was in a bad mood, he could have his servant spit in my face. Eldest son and eldest grandson, ha! I can't even compare to a manservant with a little bit of face here! "
Jia Rong was extremely sad.
"Whoosh —"
Jia Baobao lifted his blanket.
Jia Rong: "…"
Uncle Bao, give me back my sorrow!
He covered his bruised, red, and bleeding wounds, feeling so uncomfortable that he wanted to cry.
Jia Baobao moved his hand away. "Don't move."
Jia Rong gritted his teeth, his face red, and buried his head under the pillow, pretending that he was an ostrich.
Jia Baobao: "Tsk tsk, look at this, the lines are turning purple. Is this really your father?"
The System saw it more clearly than Jia Baobao and could not help but sigh.
Jia Baobao's slender fingers picked out a little ointment from the red porcelain box and carefully applied it to his wounds.
His skin tightened and he could not help but shudder.
"Hiss — Ugh —"
Jia Rong groaned, his whole body trembling from the pain.
Jia Baobao could not help but shake his head. "Bear with it, it'll be better after the ointment is applied."
Because her eyes were filled with lines, she did not feel ashamed and applied the ointment calmly.
Jia Rong, on the other hand, was so ashamed that she wanted to die. Her undamaged skin was dyed red.
He only felt that he had dirtied Uncle Bao's eyes.
The ointment was good, it did not take long for the wounds to cool down.
"You're so stupid. He hit you, and you just let him hit you? Even if you can't hit him back, you can still run. If you have nowhere to go, you can come to my place. If you have no money, you can come to me. "
The System: "Yeah, you're just worried about how to spend coins."
Jia Baobao was suspicious. "Why do I feel like you're scolding me?"
The System: "You're wrong."
"Oh."
Jia Baobao raised his right hand, the light green ointment on his fingertips slowly spread on his skin.
Jia Rong sneaked out of the pillow and looked at her in a daze.
Her peach blossom eyes were naturally smiling, and when she was focused, they were full of affection.
His heart was pounded so hard that it almost went sideways.
"… Did you hear me?" Jia Baobao raised his head and stared at him.
"Oh," Jia Rong replied blankly.
When she stared at him, her eyes were smiling too.
"If you really run out of money, I'll take you out for a walk. It'll be enough for you to spend."
Jia Rong did not quite understand what she meant.
"It's done." Jia Baobao applied the remaining ointment on the white handkerchief.
He was disappointed. "Ah? That's it? "
Jia Baobao glanced at him. "What's wrong? Haven't you been beaten enough? "
Jia Rong smiled shyly and said, "If Uncle Bao wants to beat me, I'll gladly endure it."
Jia Baobao said to the System, "Is this guy used to being abused?"
The System: "I don't know, don't ask me, I'm still a child."
Jia Baobao was speechless. "What are you thinking about all day!"
The System: "…"
Jia Rong thought that Jia Baobao was talking to him. He said gently, "Uncle Bao … I lost my mother when I was young, and my father only knew how to humiliate me. I just want to be close to Uncle Bao."
His handsome face had a gentle smile. "Thank you for helping me today, Uncle Bao, I …"
His voice was hoarse and choked.
The System: "Ding, congratulations on completing the mission. The item card has been received, please receive it in time."
Jia Baobao was happy. "Don't be sad, you're a man, why are you crying?"
She touched her purse and stuffed it into Jia Rong's palm.
Jia Rong held the purse in confusion. "Uncle Bao, this …"
"Your life hasn't been easy. I didn't bring anything to see you, this is all I have."
Jia Rong's pale face blushed. "The purse …"
Wouldn't such a personal item be given to …
Hehe.
"You can keep all the money."
Jia Rong's blush quickly faded.
Ah, he misunderstood her again …
Jia Rong weighed the purse in his hand. It was estimated to be dozens of taels.
"No, how can I take uncle's monthly allowance? Uncle's monthly allowance is only two taels, and you're giving me so much at once …"
Jia Baobao pressed his hands on his shoulders. "Just take it. Go out and eat, or if your father hits you again, just run out and find a place to stay for a few days. Come back when he's not angry anymore."
She raised her eyebrows. "It's okay to squander, but don't ruin your health."
She curled her lips. "You'll get sick if you mess around."
Jia Rong's face stiffened. He gritted his teeth and said, "Who's the one who gossiped in front of Uncle Bao? I, I didn't … I just listened to some songs and drank some wine … I know, it must be Qin Keqing. That androgynous person slandered me! "
Androgynous?
Jia Baobao asked the System, "What does the androgynous person look like?"
The System glanced at her newly obtained item card. "You'll know soon enough."
Jia Rong pinched the purse with her fragrance. He couldn't wait to swear to the heavens. "What do you mean by squandering? I won't do it!"
Jia Baobao was dumbfounded. "Huh?"
Jia Rong reached out and held her hand. He said solemnly, "Everyone looks down on me. I was indeed a bastard before. But as long as Uncle Bao believes in me, I'll work hard. I don't care about others, I just want to leave a good impression in Uncle Bao's eyes."
"Wait …"
"Uncle Bao, don't worry. I know you said that to provoke me. Squandering? What squandering? I'll never squander. "
"No …" I'm absolutely sincere.
"Uncle Bao, since you're here, I don't have anything to entertain you. I heard that Uncle Bao likes to drink wine. I just happen to have a jar."
Jia Rong looked out of the window and ordered the servant to bring the wine.
The servant girl hesitated. "Uncle, is that okay? That's Grandma's … "
"Huh? What? I don't have the final say in this house! "Jia Rong flew into a rage.
The servant girl had no choice but to bring the wine.
Jia Baobao took a closer look and saw that the jar was wrapped in red paper. It was very delicate. The jar's mouth was sealed with small red clay. The neck of the jar was tied with a golden rope. On the jar's body, there were three big words written with gold powder — "Nu 'er Hong".
"Which girl's Nu 'er Hong is this?"
"Uncle, just drink it. It doesn't matter whose it is."
Jia Baobao shyly measured it with his fingers. "I can only drink a little. I'll get drunk easily if I drink too much."
Jia Rong's eyes lit up. "What will happen if Uncle gets drunk?"
The System curled its lips. "Why are you looking forward to it?"
Jia Baobao's eyes curved. He smiled and said, "If I get drunk, I'll study hard until I forget to eat and sleep."
Jia Rong trembled.
It was too, too scary.
Jia Rong quickly said, "Then Uncle will only drink a little. You can take the rest back to drink."
Jia Baobao rubbed his hands and opened the clay seal.
A mellow aroma wafted out.
She carefully scooped some out with a spoon. The wine had just covered the bottom of the cup.
She held the cup and touched the cup with the tip of her nose. She sniffed and stuck out the tip of her tongue and carefully licked it.
So strong!
Jia Baobao's eyes narrowed.
Jia Rong lay on the bed and supported his face with his hands. He watched her expression intently. Seeing that she couldn't stand the strong wine, he couldn't help but laugh softly.
Jia Baobao waved his hand. "Alright, this is enough for now. I'm leaving. Have a good rest."
Jia Rong's finger lightly brushed across the blanket. "Actually, if Uncle gets drunk, you can also rest here."
"Uh …"
He lowered his eyes and said dejectedly, "Uncle only goes to Qin Keqing's room when he's drunk. You don't even remember my room …"
Jia Baobao's teeth hurt. "Don't make it sound like I'm thinking about your wife."
The System said coldly, "Yes, you don't have that ability."
Jia Rong thought for a while and said softly, "Uncle Bao, don't get too close to Qin Keqing. Don't you think it's weird that I, the eldest son and eldest grandson of Ningguo Province, married such a … woman?"
Jia Baobao was surprised. "That's your wife. What do I think? To be honest, I don't even remember her face. "
Jia Rong's eyes widened. The corner of his mouth rose into a silly smile. "Uncle, really?"
Jia Baobao was speechless.
Don't be happy too early. I don't remember your face either.
"Qin Keqing is weird. I can only be bullied to death by him. Uncle, please don't follow in my footsteps."
Jia Baobao couldn't understand. "Why would I follow in his footsteps? Do you think I can marry her? "
Jia Rong choked. He felt like he couldn't breathe because of Uncle Bao's words.
Jia Baobao picked up the jar of Nu 'er Hong. "Alright, you don't have to send me off. I'm leaving."
"Uncle …" Jia Rong called out. However, she didn't show any mercy and walked further and further away.
On the way out of Ningguo Province.
Jia Baobao curled his lips and said, "He's so talkative. Come, quick. My Daily Mission is completed. Can I draw a card now?"
The System was speechless. "… Heartless. Draw your card!"
The Nine Palaces Grid appeared once again, each grid containing a card.
Jia Baobao sighed. "It would be great if I could draw a skill card."
Although item cards could be used multiple times, those item cards were like a joke to her. They were useless. Skill cards were more useful. At least, when the enemy turned into a little puppy, his combat power was almost zero.
She pressed on the middle of the grid again.
"Ding! Wow! Congratulations! Congratulations! "The System's tone was very excited.
Jia Baobao was also nervous. "Did I get it? Did I get it?"
"Congratulations. You got … an empty card."
Jia Baobao was speechless.
Why are you so excited about an empty card?
The System flipped the card over with a smirk. The card was blank. This meant that she didn't get anything.
Jia Baobao said, "Alright, I knew it. Come, let's take a look at the item card from the Blue Mission."
The System placed the item card in front of her.
Nervous, so nervous.
