Chapter 0013 – Rescue (2 / 2)

Dr. Sun nodded and shook his head, “For now, if you can last through tonight, your life will be saved.”

Hearing this, Chen Zhirou finally breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful gaze at Xiang Capsicum as well, who respectfully lowered her head.

Soon, mother Jin was carried to a room in the Chen Mansion, Xu sent four maids to take turns caring for it, and Dr. Sun also stayed in the Chen Mansion for the time being, waiting to watch over the patient at any time during the night.

After finishing this side, the Chen family members began to busy themselves with apologizing to the guests who hadn’t left yet, and a grand banquet came to an absurd end.

Hearing that the royal concubine was attacked, the officials quickly came and took the theater crowd into custody. When the officer in charge asked Chen Zhirou if she wanted to interrogate Liu Wenjing and the others overnight, Chen Zhirou hesitated.

“The concubine is tired today, so the matter will be discussed tomorrow.”

Chen Zhirou waved off the crowd on the grounds that she wanted to rest, and Xiang Capsicum was also ready to retreat with the crowd when Chen Zhirou called out to her.

“Little girl, I also have to thank you for today.” Chen Zhirou’s eyes revealed genuine gratitude, “If mama Jin can get through this, this consort will definitely thank you heavily. I came out in a hurry this time, so this will be given to you as a thank you gift.”

Chen Zhirou removed an ancient red gold bracelet from her wrist and placed it in Xiang Capsicum’s hand.

Fragrant Capsicum panicked, busy saying, “Your Highness, this is too expensive, slave girl, slave girl can’t accept it by any means.”

“Take it.” Chen Zhirou smiled and patted her hand without refusal.

Holding the heavy gold bracelet, Shankar inexplicably had a sense of unreality.

It was ridiculous to say that, in addition to the short sword gifted by the Gongzi during the rainy night, this gold bracelet was, after all, the most expensive thing she had ever received in this life.

Shampoo Capsicum felt like her entire body was floating, forgetting how she even exited the door.

As she wandered towards her house, she unexpectedly saw Chen Zian outside the door.

Xiang Capsicum’s footsteps lurched, remembering the two people indulging in the house a few hours ago, her face reddened, inexplicably a little embarrassed. Tonight has already happened too much, she is already tired to the point of numbness at this point, but Chen Zian here, it is indeed she who first caused the sinful debt.

With her heart in the right place, she bypassed Chen Zian as if no one else was there, and Chen Zian froze and silently followed from behind again.

Shampoo sighed, all the trouble she had caused.

That’s all.

With a crossed heart, she turned towards Chen Zian and knelt down, respectfully crouching her head and said, “Second young master, now that there are many people and eyes, today’s matter, please allow the slave girl to explain it to you some other time.”

Chen Zian was so shocked that he stopped and subconsciously wanted to go forward to help her.

But the extremely guarded demeanor of Kaede made him withdraw his hand with another slight loss.

Obviously more than an hour ago, the two of them were still doing that kind of intimate thing, how is it that only such a short period of time has passed now, she is so formal and raw to this extent.

He pinched the prepared cloak in his hand and opened his mouth obscurely, “Xiang Capsicum, today, you have saved people with merit and relieved the Chen Mansion of its peril, this Duke commends you with a cloak, there is no need to thank you for your kindness.”
