Chapter 69 Girl, you woke up

More than a month ago, Jiang'an.

After Chunzhi jumped into the river, she sank into the water and swam hard to the shore. However, the wind and rain were too strong that day, and the waves were huge. She was washed downstream by the fast-flowing river and was rescued by a large ship.

When I woke up, I was already lying in the cabin.

The first person Chunzhi saw when she opened her eyes was a young man in his twenties, dressed in a green suit, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and a gentle demeanor.

"Girl, you're awake."

Even his voice was as pleasant as that of a fairy from heaven.

Chunzhi supported herself on the edge of the bed with one hand and tried to sit up, but suddenly she felt a stomachache and quickly covered her abdomen with her hand.

My child...

"Miss, you've been unconscious for two days. Don't rush to get up. Just lie down and talk to me." The young man said gently, "You've been unconscious due to exhaustion and have been soaking in the water for a long time. If you want the baby in your belly to be safe, you need to rest well."

When Chunzhi heard him say that the baby was still in her belly, she calmed down a little and looked at him blankly, "You are..."

The young man spoke again, "My surname is Song, my given name is Chengxuan, and my courtesy name is Anlan. Two days ago, the girl was washed in front of my boat by the river, and the boatman fished you out..."

Song Anlan spoke gently, and suddenly he started coughing. He turned his head and raised his sleeve to cover his lips. It took him a while to calm down.

Chunzhi leaned on the edge of the bed and slowly sat up, saying softly, "Thank you, Mr. Song, for saving me."

This Mr. Song seems to be a very good person, but he looks very sickly.

Song Anlan said: "It was the boatman who saved you. I just asked someone to change you into clean clothes."

"More than that." A young maid came in with medicine and happened to hear the two talking. "Our master not only asked the boatman to rescue you, but also took your pulse and prescribed medicine for you. He even boiled the medicine himself. He stayed by your side day and night for two days..."

"Qingye." Song Anlan called the maid.

The maidservant named "Qingye" in front of him immediately stopped and said, "I know, it's good to show kindness without expecting anything in return."

Song Anlan smiled and said to Chunzhi apologetically, "Qingye is rude, please don't take it to heart."

Chunzhi said, "Young Master saved me, and Miss Qingye took care of me. I am so grateful to you that I don't care about these things."

Qingye brought the medicine to the bedside and said, "Miss, drink the medicine first."

"Thank you." Chunzhi said, picked up the bowl of soup and drank.

I almost vomited it out after just one bite.

She forced herself to swallow it, but for a moment she didn't have the courage to take a second sip.

This medicine... is too bitter.

Chunzhi frowned.

She hasn't taken any medicine for many years. Ever since she recovered from a serious illness at the age of nine, she has been in very good health.

Even being pregnant doesn't cause any discomfort.

But now, after learning that Huo Zheng treated her as a plaything, she seemed to have a heart disease. After being caught in a storm and rolling in the river, she was now physically and mentally exhausted and had to take medicine.

"I've been a doctor for a long time, but my medical skills are not very good. The medicine you prescribed is really too bitter. It really makes things difficult for you, young lady." Song Anlan said in a gentle voice. He smiled and took out a small paper bag from his sleeve, opened it and handed it to her. "I have some candied fruits here. After you drink the medicine, eat two candied fruits, and your mouth will not be so bitter."

Chunzhi gritted her teeth and drank the medicine in the bowl. Her tongue was numb with bitterness and tears were about to flow. She couldn't speak and immediately grabbed two candied fruits and put them in her mouth.

The sweetness of the candied fruit instantly dissipated the bitterness of the medicine. She slowly bit the candied fruit, covering up the bitterness bit by bit.

Qingye took the soup bowl, walked to the table, poured a glass of water and handed it to Harue.

Chunzhi quickly swallowed the candied fruit, said "thank you", then took the teacup and drank the water slowly.

"Young lady, you haven't eaten for two days. You must be hungry, right?" Song Anlan instructed in a gentle voice, "Qingye, go and bring the porridge over."

"Yes." Qingye responded and left.

Chunzhi leaned on the bed and drank water in small sips.

The cabin was quiet.

There was only the sound of water flowing as the boat moved.

She is still on the river.

Chunzhi held the water cup and called out, "Mr. Song."

Song Anlan said: "Miss, if you have something to say, you can say it."

Chunzhi asked, "Do you still have the clothes I wore earlier?"

Huo Zheng forced her into a corner with no other options but to jump into the river, without even bothering to take anything out of her bag.

The hundred taels of gold and the silver notes were in the bundle, and she only had the three hundred taels of silver notes given by Lu Jingyun.

Song Anlan said, "The girl's clothes are still there, but the banknotes have been soaked in water and are in tatters..."

When Chunzhi heard this, she sighed secretly.

This money comes easily and goes easily.

She will have to rely on her own hands to make a living.

When Song Anlan had someone rescue her, he saw that she was dressed simply and knew that these banknotes must be very important to her, so even though they were in tatters, he did not throw them away directly, but had someone collect them.

As he spoke, he immediately asked someone to bring Chunzhi's original clothes and the torn banknotes.

When Chunzhi saw the tattered silver bills, her heart almost broke.

That’s a full three hundred taels.

Seeing her heartbroken and speechless, Master Song said gently, "I have a small fortune. If you need it, I can give you some gold and silver. You just woke up and are not feeling well. You must not worry about money or anything else."

Upon hearing this, Chunzhi quickly said, "Money is something outside of one's body. You can't bring it with you when you are born, and you can't take it with you when you die. Let the banknote be broken. I am lucky to be able to save my life."

"Speaking of this..." Song Anlan asked her, "How could the girl fall into the water when she was pregnant?"

Chunzhi couldn't tell someone she just met about what happened between her and Prince Chang'an.

Especially since this person also knew medicine and knew that she was pregnant.

But she didn't want to lie to Song Anlan, so she looked embarrassed and remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

Seeing her like this, Song Anlan knew that she had something to hide, and immediately said, "If it's not convenient for you to talk about it, I won't ask."

He is so understanding.

Instead, Chunzhi felt even more guilty.

Song Anlan even said, "If you haven't decided where to go, you can go home with me first. We have a lot of houses, but few people. I have a younger sister who is thirteen years old and has always been in need of company. If you are willing to keep her company, that would be perfect."

Every word he said was to protect Chunzhi's self-esteem.

It seemed as if letting Chunzhi live in his house was a great help to him.

In fact, at this time Chunzhi really had nowhere to go and was penniless.

"Then I'm sorry to bother you, Master Song." Chunzhi said, "I can do any job. I won't live and eat in your house for free..."

Song Anlan smiled and said, "Miss, there's no need to be so polite."

Chunzhi followed Master Song back to the Song family and realized that Song Anlan's claim of having a small fortune and many houses was really too modest.

The immortal-like Song Anlan in front of him turned out to be the richest man in Dongzhou and the head of the Song family.

Chunzhi followed Song Anlan and his group back to the Song family.

When the thirteen-year-old Miss Song came out with her companions, she looked at Chunzhi with wide eyes and asked Song Anlan in astonishment, "Brother, is this the sister-in-law you brought back to me?"
