Chapter 681 - 680: Demoted to Official Servant
Wang Yongan awoke again to find himself lying on the kang, the place where he had been hit with a plank was evidently treated with medicine, feeling cool and soothing, no longer the painful burning sensation that pierced to the bone.
Turning his head to look around, he saw Lady Qian, asleep on the edge of the kang desk with her hair messily tied up, her face showing exhaustion and streaked with dried tears.
Lady Qian always took great care in her appearance, sporting shiny, well-combed hair and clean, neat clothes, and her makeup was always properly applied whenever she appeared before Wang Yongan.
Suddenly seeing Lady Qian like this, Wang Yongan felt somewhat unaccustomed to it for a moment.
He opened his mouth to speak, only to find his throat hurting and dry, and it was unbearably painful to even think about speaking.
Reluctantly giving up, Wang Yongan reached out to awaken Lady Qian, but as soon as he moved, a sharp pain shot through his wound, causing him to see stars and his undershirt was soaked with cold sweat in an instant.
He couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.
Fortunately, this slight movement was enough to quickly awaken the vigilant Lady Qian, who casually smoothed her hair and looked at Wang Yongan.
Wang Yongan mouthed the gesture for drinking water, and Lady Qian, having attended to him for many years, understood him well. With just a glance, she knew what he needed and poured him a cup of warm water, helping him sit up halfway to drink it.
After drinking a cup of water, Wang Yongan finally felt some relief in his throat and could manage to speak with some difficulty.
"How did I get back here?"
