The Eldest Sister Who Struck It Rich

The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.

Chapter 576: Promise

Chapter 576: Promising one's body

Since it is a life-saving favor, then it is reasonable to pledge one's body to him.

What's more, it was Chu Jinnian who broke his promise first.

He had originally agreed to go back early, but he didn't go back for such a long time. Not only did she come to look for him in the end, but she also made herself look like this. It was really too much.

So, logically speaking, an apology and compensation should be made.

Zhuang Qingning felt more and more at ease, and could even be said to have taken advantage of the situation with a clear conscience.

Chu Yunzhao and Jing Zhao, who were outside the house, had no idea what was going on inside and were just guarding outside.

Naturally, they felt a little uneasy while waiting, especially Chu Yunzhao, who paced back and forth in the yard for many times, raised his foot and walked up the stairs, thinking of pushing the door open to see what was going on, but when he thought of the scene he had just seen, his hand could not help but tremble, and he quickly retracted it.

After repeating this several times, Chu Yunzhao could only look at Jing Zhao and ask, "This Miss Zhuang, is her medical skill really reliable?"

"this……"

Jing Zhao scratched his head and replied, "Miss Zhuang once saved a businessman in the county who was poisoned by the chief shopkeeper because he punished him. The poison was quite strange at the time, and many doctors were helpless and said that he would not live long. But Miss Zhuang cured the man after a few days of treatment."

"Besides, Miss Zhuang has also been doing business selling mosquito repellent herbal bags. These mosquito repellent herbal bags are very effective, and the formula was also created by Miss Zhuang."

"If you say so, this Miss Zhuang is a very good doctor." Chu Yunzhao nodded thoughtfully, but his frowning brows did not relax. He only asked, "But how did this Miss Zhuang know that Jinnian was poisoned so quickly?"

Jing Zhao spread his hands in confusion, "I don't know about this either."

"I only know that the eldest son treats Miss Zhuang very well. Even the people who take care of Miss Zhuang are the sisters Su Mu and Su Ye. The fourth prince also saw it just now. The eldest son even gave the jade disk left by the princess to Miss Zhuang..."

"I think that the eldest master must have had a secret contact with Miss Zhuang on weekdays. It is not a big deal for Miss Zhuang to know about this."

"Yes." Chu Yunzhao nodded again, "So, Jinnian and Miss Zhuang do have a deep friendship."

Just now, Zhuang Qingning also came in a hurry with a worried look on his face. It seemed that he was very worried about Chu Jinnian's current condition.

It seems that Chu Jinnian and his fiancée are indeed in love with each other.

Chu Yunzhao did not have a deep impression of his aunt and they met only a few times, but in his impression, his aunt seemed to be very opinionated and not lacking in wisdom.

Chu Jinnian once said that this marriage was carefully selected by the Princess of Qi. Chu Yunzhao was worried that the Princess of Qi was just trying desperate measures to prevent the Prince of Qi and Luo from making a fuss about Chu Jinnian's marriage. Now it seems that she must have been a long-term thinker.

Chu Yunzhao nodded repeatedly, and he admired his aunt even more. He was even pleased that Chu Jinnian's marriage seemed to be going smoothly.

only……

Chu Jinnian, this bastard!

But since I have never mentioned these things to him, how could I ever treat him as a brother?

No, after Chu Jinnian wakes up, I have to settle this account with him! "Jing Zhao."

Chu Yunzhao spoke up, "Go and inform Prefect Yang, and have him prepare some exquisite midnight snacks. Also, prepare some women's clothes and clean up a clean room."

But before settling the accounts, Chu Jinnian has to take good care of his fiancée.

Jing Zhao understood and hurriedly told people to get ready.

The meal was ready quickly. It consisted of four delicious home-cooked side dishes, plus some delicious local sesame cakes from a hanging oven. In addition, some red bean rice dumplings were also prepared.

I think it’s because Zhuang Qingning is a girl, and I want to see if she likes sweets.

After everything was ready, Chu Yunzhao knocked on the door gently, "Miss Zhuang."

Zhuang Qingning was changing Chu Jinnian's second bottle of medicine inside. She was frightened by the sudden shout and almost fell off the stool. Fortunately, she had excellent balance and managed to steady herself. After hanging up the medicine, she took the curtain above to cover the bottle and the infusion tube. Then she walked to the door and replied from inside the room, "What's the matter, Fourth Prince?"

"I know Miss Zhuang is currently receiving treatment, so I shouldn't have disturbed her. I was just worried that Miss Zhuang must have been very tired after coming here so early in the morning and treating Jinnian. So I asked someone to prepare some food for her. If Miss Zhuang is free, she can enjoy some of it." Chu Yunzhao answered truthfully.

Chu Jinnian was receiving an IV drip at this time. Just now, a certain Wu had reported that his condition was stable now. As long as the remaining two bottles of IV drip were finished, the most dangerous moment of the night would be over.

Zhuang Qingning just breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Yunzhao's question at this time also made her feel empty, so she opened the door a crack and took the plate from Chu Yunzhao's hand, "Thank you, Fourth Prince."

Seeing that Zhuang Qingning was obviously on guard, Chu Yunzhao did not deliberately look inside, and just said, "It's my job, Miss Zhuang, you are too polite."

"I wonder how Jinnian is doing right now?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zhuang Qingning stayed inside for a long time and showed no intention of taking any medicine, which surprised Chu Yunzhao.

"I have taken the detoxification pills three times. Judging from my pulse, the poison has been suppressed and is no longer penetrating into my internal organs. However, it will take some time to detoxify."

Zhuang Qingning said, "At the earliest in the morning, at the latest at noon, Jinnian should be able to wake up by then."

Seeing that Zhuang Qingning was very confident and gave a precise time for waking up, Chu Yunzhao, who had been as confused as a headless fly before, felt much more at ease and breathed a sigh of relief. "This is really great news. Thank you, Miss Zhuang."

"It is indeed my responsibility." Zhuang Qingning said softly, "It's just that Su Ye and Su Mu came here with me earlier. It took me a day and a night to travel. I really don't have time to take care of them now. I hope the Fourth Prince can help me settle them down."

"Don't worry, Miss Zhuang." Chu Yunzhao cupped his hands, "I won't bother you any more, Miss Zhuang, please have your meal soon."

Zhuang Qingning nodded, brought the food into the house, put it on the table, and closed the door again.

The table was some distance away from the bed, and Zhuang Qingning was worried, so he took the sesame cake, cut it in half, put some vegetables in it, took the bowl of dumplings, and sat next to Chu Jinnian, watching the condition of the drip while stuffing food into his mouth.

He ate voraciously, not even bothering to taste the dishes. After he felt he was no longer hungry, Zhuang Qingning continued to sit by the bed and help Chu Jinnian warm the infusion tube.

As the night deepened, the whole earth fell into silence. Even Jing Zhao and Chu Yunzhao, who were guarding outside, began to doze off.
