Chapter 159: Persistent High Fever, Injury Worsen (1)

Tengtang Xi paused and looked at him. “Did you call me?”

Zhong Shenghao turned his head. “Or do you want me to call her up?”

“No!” Tengtang Xi got up and went downstairs while holding a basin.

Even though there was some reluctance in her heart, she naturally did not want to lose her face since she said she would stay.

She did not want to believe that a lady like her could not win a maid.

She filled up the basin with water after reaching downstairs. She then came up and started to wring the towel again.

“My dear lady, don’t you know that you need to get ice cubes?”

Tengtang Xi looked down and glanced at the water in the basin. There was indeed no ice in it. But why he did not say so just now?

She raised her head and glare at Zhong Shenghao. “Why didn’t you say it just now?”

“Why should I? Didn’t you see that I have made her put ice cubes in the water just now?”

“You!”

His words made Tengtang Xi a little speechless to refute. She gritted her teeth and could not say a word.

She then turned around desperately and went to the kitchen to get the ice cubes.

After that, she put the ice cubes into the water. She followed what Zuo Weiyi had done earlier by wringing the towel and putting it on Shi Yuting’s forehead.

Just as she stretched out her hand, a bright red thing was suddenly thrown over her.

Tengtang Xi jerked her hand away in fright and stared angrily at Zhong Shenghao after looking at the bright red gauze that fell on her hands.

“What are you doing?!”

Zhong Shenghao turned his head. He was expressionless. “Changing the dressing to clean the wound. Can’t you see?”

“You! Do you have to throw it on my hand?!”

“My dear lady, if I don’t throw it into the basin, should I throw it onto the floor instead?”

Tengtang Xi was immediately speechless when he said this!

Zhong Shenghao did it on purpose. He could have just thrown the gauze that he had just replaced into the trash can, which was in front of him. It was just that Tengtang Xi was standing in between, so he could not see the trash can at all.

The water that was just fetched by Tengtang Xi was immediately dyed red.

“Go down and fetch some water again.”

Tengtang Xi was angry listening to his order. However, she had nowhere to vent her anger. She could only suppress it and obediently go downstairs to fetch more water.

Throughout the morning, she was either going downstairs to change the water or going to the next room to help Zhong Shenghao get the tools he needed for medical treatment. She was tired and her legs were sore by noon.

Growing up, she had never been as busy as a servant like today.

“Tengtang Xi!”

Just as she was lying on the sofa preparing to take a short break, Nuannuan who was on the upper floor rushed down and pointed at Tengtang Xi angrily!

“Who gave you the right to order my servants around?!”

Tengtang Xi turned her head. She was not afraid of facing Nuannuan’s anger.

“Are you talking about that Zuo Weiyi?” She just learned from the other servant that that maid was Zuo Weiyi.

Shi Nuannuan was stunned. How did Tengtang Xi know her name?

“Grandfather and the others will arrive here in an hour. Wait and see, I will make Zuo Weiyi disappear from here by then.”

“Don’t you dare!”

“I don’t. But Grandfather will surely do it.”

If he knew that his grandson had a complicated relationship with a maid, would he have agreed to that?

She heard that the Shi family had restrictive regulations in their household. And also, for marriage, the two families were of equal social rank and status.

Especially with Shi Yuting’s current status, the first lady must not be an unknown maid.
