Chen He didn't know why things turned out like this.
He was originally just extremely hungry and wanted to rob the child's purse to get some silver to exchange for food and then find a way to get out of the capital. But who would have thought that he would inexplicably become the little girl's savior and was taken back home by her family.
He had never seen such a big house, nor so many well-dressed people. The servants of the noble family, who used to feel disgusted even at the sight of him, took him to clean and change clothes, respectfully calling him "young master", and the little girl's sister, who looked like a fairy, called a doctor for him.
Chen He's injuries had not been treated for a long time, and many parts of his body had abscesses. When the doctor was cleaning his wounds, he was shaking with pain and had to grit his teeth to prevent himself from screaming.
After the wound was bandaged, the doctor turned and went to the outer room, but a moment later the little girl's frightened voice was heard.
"Sister, will he die?"
"Don't talk nonsense, the brother inside is just injured."
The woman's gentle voice came, followed by a questioning voice: "Doctor Lin, how is he?"
"This young man has numerous injuries. Not only are his hand and leg bones broken, but his internal organs are also damaged. Moreover, his external injuries have been left untreated for too long and have already rotted away."
"Although I just cleaned him up, he needs to be taken care of carefully from now on, otherwise it might affect his flexibility in the future. Moreover, this young man is weak and looks like he hasn't eaten for a long time. For the next two days, apart from soup and medicine, he can only eat light food and avoid eating any meat or fish."
"I understand. I will tell the servants to come and ask Doctor Lin to prescribe a prescription for his recovery. Don't be stingy with the herbs."
"yes."
The doctor was led away, and the people outside walked inside. It seemed that they did not expect that he woke up. The pretty girl's eyes lit up and she rushed over.
"You're awake!"
Chen He's body tensed instantly.
"Zhizhi!"
Rong Zhen shouted softly and walked to the bedside, pulling up the little girl who was holding onto his quilt. As if she could see the nervousness of the young man on the bed, she said softly, "Don't be afraid. This is the Taifu Mansion. My name is Rong Zhen, and this is my sister Rong Yue. Do you remember that you saved her before?"
Chen He didn't know what a Taifu was, but he knew that the two people in front of him were nobles who were more powerful than Master Zhang.
The Zhang family was already extremely wealthy, but the maids and servants in the mansion were not even as wealthy as this family's. Moreover, this family's house was in the east of the city and was several times larger than the Zhang family's.
He clutched his palms with full vigilance, thinking that if someone found out that he had robbed the girl's purse before, he would probably be beaten to death like Archie.
Rong Zhen, however, thought he was uncomfortable in a strange place, so she lowered her voice, "Today, my sisters and I went on an outing to the west of the city. A Yue accidentally got separated from the people in the mansion, and was lured to a secluded place by that beggar using a rabbit. If the young master hadn't rescued her in time, she would have been taken away."
"There were many people watching by the lake at the time, and when we heard the noise and went over to look for the young master, he was unconscious. So I had no choice but to take the initiative and bring you back."
Rong Yue just turned seven this year, with chubby cheeks. She stood beside her sister, looked at Chen He softly and said, "Don't be afraid, we are good people. My father is the Taifu, the master of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He is very powerful..."
Chen He's hand trembled. He didn't know the Grand Tutor, but he knew the Crown Prince.
The opera sang that the prince was the emperor's son and the future emperor. The father of the two people in front of him was actually the prince's teacher. He never thought that he would get such a noble person just by thinking about it for a moment.
"Why don't you speak? What's your name?" Rong Yue asked.
Chen He's mind raced, and in an instant he whispered, "I don't know."
Rong Yue exclaimed, "Huh?"
Rongzhen standing by was also surprised.
Chen He's face turned pale: "...I don't remember what happened before..."
Rong Zhen looked at the young man's confused expression, and saw that he was covering his head as if in pain. She quickly turned around and told the maid outside to invite Doctor Lin back who had just left.
Doctor Lin hurried back, examined him, and asked some questions before frowning and saying, "This young man has a head injury and a bump from behind. Perhaps he accidentally bumped into something and caused a brain bruise, which is why he's forgotten everything."
