Surprisingly, Xie Qingfeng, who had a short temper, just scratched his head when he heard this, and did not continue to drive her away.
Su An felt a stinging pain in her fingertips and silently withdrew. An Wu closed the door slightly and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Su An couldn't help but call out to her, asking in a low voice, "An Wu, do you know who that woman inside is? She seems to be quite familiar with Fu Zhun..."
These words made An Wu, who was still socially awkward, flinch before explaining softly, "That is Miss Li Wanyue, the daughter of the Duke of Anguo."
"She was once married to the prince, and she has come to visit him."
Upon hearing this, Su An unconsciously clenched her hands, but felt no pain at all, and just stood there blankly.
Miss Li… she had heard the emperor mention her before; she was Fu Zhun’s former fiancée.
It is said that after Fu Zhun became disabled in both legs, the Li family dissolved the marriage.
"I understand, thank you. I'll stay here and keep watch." Su An forced a smile, watched An Wu's figure disappear, and then let out a soft breath.
The daughter of the Duke of Anguo... Now that the engagement has been dissolved, why has she suddenly come looking for me again?
Su An paced back and forth at the door, inexplicably agitated. But before long, Xie Qingfeng suddenly shouted from inside the house, "Hey, someone outside, come and help!"
Su An was already unsteady on her feet, and startled by the sound, she pushed open the door and rushed inside. "What's wrong?"
Xie Qingfeng, whose body was splattered with blood, glanced at her amidst his busy schedule and said, "Go and fetch a basin of hot water to apply as a hot compress to the area around your prince's injured leg."
Upon hearing this, Li Wanyue, who was standing anxiously beside him, frowned and a hint of hostility flashed in her eyes as she looked at Su An.
Su An didn't notice Xie Qingfeng's meaningful words. Upon hearing this, he immediately ran out and brought back hot water and a towel.
He skillfully picked up a towel, wet it, wrung it out, and then quickly walked to Fu Zhun's side. Fu Zhun was half-conscious, with a few strands of hair sticking to his cold and handsome face, and veins throbbing on his temples from time to time.
Su An felt uncomfortable watching this and quickly looked away, placing her gaze on his calves.
At this moment, Li Wanyue stepped forward, skillfully pushed Su An aside, and snatched the towel with her slender hand.
She slightly raised her chin, a hint of smugness and provocation appearing in her beautiful eyes. "Your Highness is of noble status, and I have always been the one taking care of you. There's no need for you to trouble yourself. Besides, this is not a place for you to linger."
As she spoke, she took Su An's place and gently wiped Fu Zhun's inner thighs first.
"You took care of the Prince?" Su An's eyes suddenly blazed with anger. He couldn't help but stare at her, questioning her word by word: "Since Miss Li is so concerned about the Prince, why did you abandon him in the first place?"
"What did you say!" Li Wanyue was stunned, seemingly not expecting that Su An would even know this much.
She immediately clenched her hands slightly, biting her lip and saying with a wronged expression, "I don't know where you heard this news from, but your information is not comprehensive."
"I, Li Wanyue, have never abandoned the Prince. The reason for breaking off the engagement was because my parents forced me!"
"The prince and I are in love. You, an outsider, are unaware of the details, so don't make baseless accusations!"
Having said that, she raised her eyebrows, her gaze both tender and reproachful as she looked at Su An: "Besides, are you trying to delay the prince's treatment by acting like this? Don't you even know what kind of occasion this is?"
Su An was speechless, feeling a bit stuck in her throat by her words. Despite her reluctance, she had no choice but to silently give her some space.
Then she lowered her eyes to hide the disappointment and bitterness in them, and walked out slowly, not noticing Xie Qingfeng's speechless expression beside her.
Su An returned to the door, leaned against the wall, and unconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes, crumpling the fabric.
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly, an indescribable torment.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Qingfeng finally came out of the house.
Su An immediately rushed forward eagerly, "How is the prince?"
Xie Qingfeng didn't answer directly, but stared at her with a look of utter dismay, and said sarcastically, "I'm not trying to be mean, but how can you be so, so useless?!"
All that effort to call her in and teach this little brat a lesson has been for naught; she's left him speechless.
"Tsk, look at Miss Li. Her aura is what makes her a match for the prince. She's the true princess."
Su An said with a dry, bitter voice, "Thank you, Doctor. I have no marriage agreement with the Prince, and we have no relationship whatsoever."
Not to mention that the young lady from that noble family already had feelings for Fu Zhun.
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingfeng frowned even more deeply.
She snorted in exasperation, turned and walked away, saying, "Whatever, I don't care."
"..." Su An scratched his head on the spot, glanced at the room, and finally couldn't help but step inside again.
But as soon as she entered the door, she saw a scene that made her blood boil.
Li Wanyue lay on her side in Fu Zhun's arms, her long, jet-black hair cascading over Fu Zhun's chest, intertwining with his black robe.
At this moment, she tilted her head back delicately, gazing at Fu Zhun with eyes full of deep affection.
At this moment, Fu Zhunjun's face was so pale it was almost transparent, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was still uncomfortable while unconscious.
Under such circumstances, how could this daughter of a duke actually lie down and take the blame?!
Su An instantly felt a nameless fire ignite within her, so angry that her eyebrows furrowed and her beautiful eyes widened. She took a few steps forward, pointed at her, and shouted, "What are you doing? You're putting pressure on the prince's wound!"
Her voice was clear and loud, suddenly echoing in the room, causing Li Wanyue to freeze for a moment, and she immediately frowned in displeasure.
Su An was so anxious that she didn't check carefully. From this angle, she only thought that Li Wanyue had really fallen on Fu Zhun and would aggravate his wound, so she reached out and pushed Li Wanyue away without thinking.
"Ah!" Caught off guard, Li Wanyue stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
Her eyes widened in shock, a flash of disbelief and anger crossing them. "You're nothing more than a maidservant who serves the prince, yet you dared to push me!"
Not to mention she was shocked, the others who were hiding outside the window after hearing the commotion were also slightly agape in surprise.
"This Su An truly lives up to her reputation as a bewitching enchantress who dared to seduce the prince; she's incredibly valiant!"
“But Miss Li is the daughter of a Duke, and Miss Su might get into trouble,” An Wu said in a low voice with some concern.
"That's not necessarily true. Just look at how protective the prince is of his own... tsk tsk tsk!" An Si was both indignant and couldn't help but watch with great interest. "Let them fight! That's what makes it interesting!"
As expected, Li Wanyue was furious. She shouted and shoved Su An hard, "You blind fool, get out of here right now!"
Su An laughed in anger, and, not to be outdone, rolled up her sleeves and bumped into her. "You're the one who's blind! The prince's injuries haven't even healed yet, and you're already rushing to pounce on him. Why didn't you have this kind of guts when you abandoned the prince before?!"
"You! You're utterly outrageous—!"
