Chapter 38 The Marquis's Adopted Daughter and the Cold Prince 10
Everyone in Songhe Hall was stunned.
Shen Chi Su still had tears on her face, she couldn't believe it: "What, what?"
Ning Changting looked at her indifferently, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
It seemed as if all of Shen Chi Su's thoughts and schemes were exposed in front of him.
"Don't you want to live in the manor? I'll arrange it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or now." Ning Changting said.
Lady Ninghou stared at him in shock: "Chisu is still a girl in her teens, how could she…"
"Yes, she knows very well that the Marquis' Mansion would not do this, so why does she still say that?" Ning Changting said coldly.
Lady Ninghou fell silent.
She gradually came to her senses.
Ning Changting said: "You left Cheng'en Temple without saying a word. In order to find you, Yanshu and I encountered bandits and were stabbed and nearly died."
"From the moment you stepped into Songhe Hall, your heart and eyes were filled with deception and calculation. Even if you don't care about us who are not related by blood, don't you care about your own sister?"
On the way to Songhe Hall, Nanny Wen brought Shen Chi Su and told her about Cha Jiu's injury.
But Shen Chi Su never cared.
All she could think about was how to avoid punishment and the position in the Imperial Hospital.
Only herself.
Seeing this, the old lady also shook her head and sighed.
How come the two children, who have the same background and upbringing, have such different personalities?
Shen Chi Su didn't expect that she was completely seen through and was very embarrassed.
She still wanted to argue: "Brother Changting, I'm not..."
"Just call me Prince, like before."
Ning Changting didn't want to look at her again, and left after saying something.
"If you want a job at the Imperial Hospital, you must kneel at the entrance of Tingyuxuan for four hours every day. If you can do this for half a month, I will bring you your resignation letter."
…
Unexpectedly, Shen Chi Su, who has always been proud and arrogant, actually insisted on kneeling for half a month.
However, this did not make Ning Changting look at her with higher regard.
Instead, he felt that Shen Chi Su was willing to give up everything for the sake of profit.
On this day, Ning Changting came to Tingyuxuan to visit Chajiu after court as usual.
He chose to ignore Shen Chi Su who was kneeling pitifully at the door.
Xiaomei was about to go in with a tray to change the medicine for Chajiu.
"Let me do it." Ning Changting said.
Xiaomei hesitated for a moment, but finally handed the tray to him obediently.
It’s better not to meddle in the masters’ affairs.
Cha Jiu had woken up, but he couldn't turn over and stand up, so he could only lie on the bed like a clumsy turtle, reading the storybook with difficulty.
As soon as she heard some movement at the door, she immediately stuffed the notebook in her hand under the pillow.
The image of a well-behaved lady cannot be lost.
Ning Changting came in holding a tray.
"Brother Changting." Cha Jiu called obediently.
"Yes." Ning Changting came to her side and rubbed her head, "I'll change the dressing for you."
Cha Jiu nudged her head in his warm palm.
Like a little kitten.
Ning Changting's heart softened all of a sudden.
Cha Jiu wore her underwear inside out so that she could apply medicine easily without touching the wound.
Ning Changting carefully lifted the undergarment, and the centipede-like scar was revealed before his eyes, shockingly.
Guilt welled up in his heart again.
Such wounds will definitely leave scars.
If she sees this in the future, she will be very sad.
"I keep hearing crying outside these two days. Is it someone outside?" Although no one told Cha Jiu about Shen Chi Su's punishment, she couldn't pretend she knew nothing about it.
Ning Changting said: "If you do something wrong, you will be punished. This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't worry about it."
"Oh." Cha Jiu did not ask any more questions. After a while, she suddenly said, "Brother, the wound is itchy."
Ning Changting comforted him: "The wound is healing and growing flesh, it's normal to itch."
Cha Jiu pursed her lips: "But it's so itchy, the kind that I can't stand."
After all, she wanted to grab it herself.
"Don't move!" Ning Changting was startled and grabbed her restless hand in time.
He looked around but didn't see any fan or anything like that could help her relieve the itch.
Cha Jiu's other hand began to move again.
This time Ning Changting simply grabbed her hands.
Cha Jiu couldn't help but twisting back and forth like a tapeworm.
Suddenly, Ning Changting leaned down to her waist.
Cha Jiu suddenly felt a thin stream of air, carrying a moist and cool feeling, brushing across the itchy wound like a small feather.
The air flow also consciously rotates back and forth, taking care of every inch of skin.
Only then did Cha Jiu realize that Ning Changting was blowing gently on her wound.
ah……
Cha Jiu was inexplicably shy: "Brother, go down a little further."
Ning Changting was stunned, then he pointed at the wound with his finger: "Here"
"A little lower."
Ning Changting did not raise his cold fingers, but gently stroked from the upper inch of skin to the lower inch. However, his mind was pure and he asked, "This..."
Cha Jiu's body shuddered and he almost moaned: "...You'd better stop touching me."
If I touch it again, my whole body will itch.
Ning Changting didn't know what had happened to Cha Jiu's mind, but he still obeyed and stopped touching her.
He changed the medicine gently, then picked up the oral medicine and fed it to her.
It was inconvenient for Cha Jiu to lie down, so when the medicine reached his mouth, he only drank half and spilled the other half. It took him half a day to finish the small bowl of medicine.
"It's so bitter." Cha Jiu's face wrinkled.
Looking at the drop of medicine hanging on her plump and pink lips, Ning Changting naturally reached out and wiped it off.
"Is it very bitter?" Ning Changting thought about what Cha Jiu said, and subconsciously put the finger stained with the medicine on her lips to his mouth and licked it.
Cha Jiu was stunned.
Ning Changting was also stunned.
Damn, how can you do this in front of others?
Ning Changting had no choice but to pretend that nothing had happened: "Yes, it is indeed very bitter."
Cha Jiu: “…”
Just pretend.
After changing the medicine and taking it, Ning Changting helped Cha Jiu put on her clothes, rubbed her head, and turned to leave.
Cha Jiu reached out and grabbed the corner of his sleeve.
Ning Changting turned around and saw her looking at him pitifully: "Brother Changting, can you stay with me for a while longer? I will have nightmares if I close my eyes."
Ning Changting knew without thinking that what she dreamed of was the moment when the bandit swung his knife at him.
How could he say "no"?
So he sat back down beside the bed and stayed with her until Cha Jiu fell asleep.
At this moment, Ning Changting's restrained gentleness finally released: "Yanshu, good dream."
He placed a light kiss on Cha Jiu's forehead.
He didn't notice that Shen Chi Su was standing at the door, covering her mouth with her hands, looking at the scene in shock.
