Chapter 0076 The Oath (1 / 2)

Since the fragrance capsule went to the duty, Chen Zian tea and rice up.

He couldn’t help but look at the door over and over again, losing the taste for even the sage books he used to never tire of reading.

In desperation, Chen Zian picked up another travelogue to read through it, but with each page turned, those landscape scrolls seemed to transform into the shadows of the Fragrant Capsicum.

The book is written in the mountains and rivers precipitous, he will unconsciously associated with the fragrance capsule that delicate and colorful figure; the book described the gurgling of water, his thoughts will drift to her dark eyes with autumn waves. No matter where he reads, he can’t help but think of last night’s wedding candles.

He shook his head hastily, trying to chase away the charming thoughts that filled his head.

The rituals of the Duke of Zhou are so intoxicating that it is no wonder that the world clouds that wine and sex are misleading.

He had to close the book and continue to wait with bated breath for Shankar to return.

For a moment, he wonderfully empathized with a woman in a boudoir: just doing nothing, waiting day after day for her husband to return home, looking through the autumn water, sadness, no wonder he wrote so many poems about women’s grievances.

Just as he looked to the door for the umpteenth time, Shankar finally returned, but with a miserable white face.

Chen Zian hurriedly rolled his wheelchair forward and asked, “Why does your face look so bad, but did the master over at the Guanyin Temple give you a hard time?”

Fragrant Capsicum shook her head and sat down alone on the wooden bed, saying somewhat helplessly, “Zian, can you hug me?”

Chen Zian hurriedly leaned forward and embraced Xiang Capsicum, feeling the trembling of her body, he gently stroked Xiang Capsicum’s back and softly inquired, ”Is it possible that the condition of the patient in the Guanyin Temple has worsened? Or have you encountered something difficult? You can tell me slowly, no matter what, there is still me.”

Xiang Capsicum took a deep breath and buried her face in his shoulder, ”Zi An, I just don’t understand, why, why do they all want to harm me? In the Chen Mansion, I was so kind as to help them, but Caidie and Xiaohong still wanted to harm me like that. Now that I’ve entered the White Horse Temple, no one knows that I’m a lowly maid with no one to rely on, and there’s still a master to back me up, I thought it would be better, but I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect–“

By the end of the sentence, there was already a sobbing tone in the voice of the fragrant capsule.

It was as if she had been confined to her body again by that ugly big man, and she was back in that fire that she could barely put out, and once again she saw Chen Zian’s near-death appearance.

Chen Zian heartily hugged Xiang Capsicum tighter, gently patting her back with his hand.

Xiang Capsicum cried on his shoulder for a while before she stopped her tears and whispered about what she had seen today behind the wigwam.

Chen Zian frowned and said, “In that case, what happened that day was deliberately framed by Rou Niang? But why did she do that, was it just to harm you, or was it to kill her husband by your hand?”

Xiang Capsicum shook her head: ”I don’t know either. Rou Niang is the only female steward among the four districts of healers, I have nothing but admiration for her, and she has taken care of me, but I never thought that she would have such an evil heart. I want to beg Lord Zhang to deal with her impartially, but I’m afraid–“

“Are you afraid that you’ll miss the White Horse Temple’s cure for the epidemic? After all, there are more sick people in the White Horse Monastery one by one, and if there are any less healers, there will be trouble.”

Xiang Capsicum nodded and shook her head again, “Not only that, I’m also afraid that she has some kind of bitterness, and even more so, I’m afraid that one day I’ll be in the same situation as her and will make the same decision as her.”

“You naturally wouldn’t be like that.” Chen Zian, however, firmly held Xiang Capsicum’s hand, “You have a compassionate heart, are kind but not weak, and are brave but not reckless. More importantly, no matter how difficult it is, you have never harmed others due to your own selfishness, this is the biggest difference between you and Rou Niang.”

Xiang Capsicum was somewhat embarrassed by Chen Zian’s praise, “How can I be as good as you say? I’m afraid you’re not bluffing me.”
