Chapter 0039: Floating and Sinking (1 / 2)

Chen Zian seemed to be caught in a lengthy nightmare.

The cries in his ears were intermittent, and it was as if he had gone back to when he was a teenager fainting from the heat, his body hot and rolling.

Auntie went to Xu to kowtow for ice, but in vain, holding him on the bed and crying out in pain.

“Mother, don’t cry, Zian is fine.”

He tried to speak out in consolation, but somehow couldn’t make a sound in the slightest.

He forced himself to suffer in the heat for a long time, and the scene in front of him abruptly changed to the winter day of that year.

The supply of charcoal from Songfeng Yuan was pitifully low, so he could only wrap himself in a quilt, shivering with cold, and copy the scriptures word by word at his desk, the hand holding the brush having lost consciousness at some point. The young Chang Rong shivering at his side, once and for all cracked the ink stone in the ink stone formed into ice.

But he was really, really cold.

Just when he wanted to give up, he suddenly heard Chang Rong whispering in his ear, “Young master, hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer–“

Yeah, hold on a little longer. Hold on a little longer.

It would be good if he got into the Xiu Cai, his father would notice him, and both he and his aunt would have a good life-

Just then, a familiar aroma came from what appeared to be a woman hugging the cold and trembling man and feeding him spoonful after spoonful of hot soup.

“Second young master, drink it and you won’t feel bad.”

“Second young master, hang in there, it’ll be over soon.”

The man’s embrace was so warm that even the bitter hot soup took on some sweetness.

He finally felt some physical relief and tried to continue to get up to copy the scriptures, but he was getting sleepier and sleepier.

“Second young master, go to sleep.”

A soft and gentle female voice rang in his ears, it should be someone he knew very well, but he couldn’t remember how.

He finally drifted off to sleep again.

Watching Chen Zian’s complexion stabilize, Xiang Capsicum and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Miss Fragrant Capsule, I really don’t know how to thank you.” Aunt Shen’s eyes were swollen from crying, and she tightly pulled on Xiang Capsicum’s hand, “Zi An doesn’t know when he’ll wake up yet, you’d better go back to rest quickly.”

Chen Zian had already been unconscious for two days and nights, and although Ming Yue and the others had also been serving in the room, because Xiang Capsicum knew more about medicine, they still also took care of him for two days without being clothed.

Xiang Capsicum’s face was already a bit white, but she still shook her head and reluctantly smiled, “Auntie, I’m fine. The eunuch has suffered such a crime, how can we as slave girls rest in peace?”

Akatsuki, who was serving at the side, suddenly felt that there was something strange about those words.

Xiang Cai is obviously a member of Biyun Courtyard, not Songfeng Courtyard, so what’s so “uneasy” about it?

But Mingyue didn’t dare or want to open her mouth to question, she also wanted Xiang Capsicum to be here to take care of him for a while longer. She only hated that she didn’t have this ability to see patients and save people, and had to bother the maids from other courtyards to come over and take care of the second young master.

The second young master was such a good man, if he were to be lost in this way, where would she find such a good master?

As they were talking, Wang Xuan suddenly ran in from outside to report, “Master, they’re finally back!”

Ningyuan County is a hundred miles away from here, the person who reported the letter is already fast, but also to arrive last night. Chen Qingxiong and other people received the letter are horrified, immediately pack up their traveling clothes, whip quickly to rush back.

Chen Qingxiong quickly marched to the house, even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by Chen Zian’s injuries, “He was fine before he set out, how could, how could he have become like this!”

Xu was also anxious out of tears, but not for Chen Zian’s injury, “This, this, the marriage with the Wang family, is it going to be impossible!”

Xiang Capsicum’s heart was chilled, Chen Zian was still in such a life and death situation, Xu was even delusional enough to think of climbing up the Wang family’s high branch!

It seems that Xu can’t be counted on.
