Fifteen minutes later, at the entrance of the Happiness Home.
Changshun helped Zhen Wanwan down from the carriage, with Chen Yong following closely behind. The entrance to the Happiness Home was bustling with people.
Today, the apprentices at the Happiness Home have all mastered seven or eight tenths of their skills, so the Happiness Home has also developed its own businesses, mainly selling furniture, handicrafts, and fabrics.
Half of the profits will be kept by the individual, and the other half will be confiscated and used for the daily operation of the Happiness Home and for charitable purposes.
Since last year, Zhen Wanwan has stopped contributing money to the Happiness Home.
At this time, a waiter was directing things at the door, and the scene was not chaotic.
After watching for a while, Zhen Wanwan went to the side gate, which led directly to the backyard.
As soon as she stepped into the backyard, she heard laughter and chatter coming from inside, along with the noise of people working.
Most of the people there don't have much physical labor capacity; many work together in groups to do one thing, which is very slow, but everyone's face is filled with a happy smile.
This was the first time Changshun had ever seen such a scene. He seemed to see children his own age, some writing in the sand, some helping with chores, and others reading attentively.
There were also several babies crying for milk, and an aunt was busy comforting one after another.
Zhen Wanwan was eager to see A Yue, so she said to Chang Shun, "Chang Shun, you play with the other children here for a while, I'll call you when we get back!"
Changshun dared not disagree. He nodded and said, "Sister, you go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me. I'll wait for you here!"
Zhen Wanwan nodded. Changshun was a sensible child and would definitely not run around. Besides, nothing would happen in the Happiness Home. She felt at ease and took Chen Yong to find someone.
Inside the room, A-Yue struggled to open her eyes, feeling as if she had been stabbed all over her body, and she had no strength in her limbs.
She looked around and felt that everything looked very familiar. Before she even knew where she was, she saw someone carrying in a bowl of medicine.
"Mr. Qu! What are you doing here? No, where is this? How did I get here?"
The next second, A-Yue seemed to remember something, and hurriedly tried to get up, but her legs gave way and she fell to the side of the bed.
"Mr. Qu, how is my wife? Is she injured?"
She remembered seeing King Jing before she lost consciousness, but she didn't know if he had rescued her.
Qu Huaiyuan placed the medicine on the table beside him and hurriedly went to help A Yue up.
"Don't worry, Miss Yue, Zhen Niangzi has been rescued! Guabao and Tianbao have also been rescued! You should focus on recovering from your injuries first, otherwise your wife will definitely worry if she sees you like this."
Hearing this, A-Yue felt relieved. She sat on the edge of the bed and drank the medicine soup on the table in one gulp without even frowning. Qu Huaiyuan's outstretched candied fruit suddenly had nowhere to go.
This girl, Yue, is a tough guy; even the smell of this medicine makes her want to cry.
Hearing these words while standing at the door, Zhen Wanwan's eyes gradually welled up with tears. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and went inside.
"Ah Yue! I've come to take you home."
The moment A-Yue saw Zhen Wanwan, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes: "My wife! I'm so relieved to see you're alright!"
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been careless, they wouldn't have been able to launch a sneak attack, and my wife wouldn't have been in such a dangerous situation."
A look of regret crossed A Yue's face, and she felt extremely guilty.
"Ah Yue! What nonsense are you talking about! Didn't I say that if we can't win, running away is the best option? I have my own way of protecting myself, so don't worry."
"But you're so disobedient, how did you get hurt like this?"
When Zhen Wanwan saw that A Yue's lips were pale and she could barely stand up, she knew at a glance that she had lost too much blood.
Even though this girl is so badly injured, she still cares about her. She felt both touched and angry. What a stubborn girl!
She took a few steps forward, gently hugged A-Yue's waist, and choked out, "Silly girl, your life is more important to me. Promise me, next time something like this happens, run first. I have the ability to protect myself, understand?"
A-Yue felt her warm body temperature, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably: "Wife, I... okay, I promise you."
On the surface, A-Yue agreed, but only she knew that if she encountered the same situation again, she would still do it without hesitation.
Qu Huaiyuan and Chen Yong silently served as the background, waiting for the master and servant to express their feelings.
Zhen Wanwan and the other girl also remembered that there were two other people beside them. They wiped away their tears shyly and smiled at each other.
"Brother Qu, thank you so much for your trouble and for saving A-Yue."
Zhen Wanwan thanked him sincerely. Qu Huaiyuan stiffened slightly, not daring to take credit, and explained, "At that time, the prince was in a hurry to find you and couldn't be left alone, so he asked me to stay and take care of Miss Yue."
Zhen Wanwan was a little surprised. Had Zhu Yuan forgotten to tell her about A Yue?
"Anyway, thank you, Brother Qu."
A-Yue also formally thanked Qu Huaiyuan.
Qu Huaiyuan accepted their thanks with a slight smile, cupped his hands and said, "I still have classes at the academy, so I'll be leaving now."
Seeing this, Chen Yong greeted A Yue a few times and then took his leave.
Only Zhen Wanwan and A Yue remained in the room. Zhen Wanwan pretended to take out a pill from her sleeve, a pill she had bought for a huge sum of money from Tmall Genie.
"Ah Yue, this is what the Divine Physician of Herbs gave me before he left. Eat it and you'll get better soon."
Looking at the pills in Zhen Wanwan's hand, A Yue said in a panic, "My lady, this medicine is precious and cannot be used on me. I have thick skin and this little injury is nothing. I can just take some medicine and I'll be fine."
"Stop talking nonsense! Eat quickly. If you stay sick for too long, I won't be able to find anyone to protect you."
Upon hearing this, A-Yue accepted the pill without hesitation and swallowed it directly.
She felt a cool, refreshing breeze coursing through every corner of her body; it felt wonderful, and she could sense that her old injuries were being healed.
A-Yue looked at Zhen Wanwan with surprise: "Wife, this medicine!"
"Shh! Yue, you know the temperament of the Hundred Herbs Divine Doctor. He doesn't like too many people knowing about his affairs, so you must stay alive and not mention it to anyone, understand?"
Zhen Wanwan said with a serious expression.
For a long time, she rarely bought such miraculously effective pills, firstly because they were very expensive, and secondly because she was afraid of attracting attention and being persecuted.
A-Yue was still apprehensive when she thought of the Hundred Herbs Divine Doctor's temper. She nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Changshun stood in a small corner and observed for a while before mustering up the courage to step forward.
"Hello, may I stay here and look around?"
The girl, who was diligently reviewing her lessons, heard someone speaking behind her. She turned around and saw a boy she didn't recognize; he must be a new student.
"Sure! But you can't bother me."
Changshun quickly raised his hand to assure him, "No! I'll just stand here and watch."
