In fact, Qiuyue was not really worried about Wen Zhu. She was just afraid that if Fu Yu found out something was wrong, Wen Chan might suffer the same fate.
Thinking of this, Qiuyue almost wanted to settle the score with the woman surnamed Wu immediately.
Wen Chan's face looked very unhappy. She asked Qiuyue to get a bottle of ointment and then sent the master and servant away.
Everything in Wen Chan's house is of the best quality. The small jars containing the ointment alone are extremely exquisite, not to mention the medicine inside.
Back in the back room, Hongyu carefully opened the jar, and a fresh herbal fragrance wafted out: "Miss, I will help you apply the medicine."
Wen Zhu looked down at his hands and said, "No need." It doesn't matter if these small wounds are not treated.
Hongyu sighed and said, "Miss, why are you doing this?"
Wen Zhu's eyelashes trembled slightly. "That old woman must have come here on the orders of the young lady. If we do nothing, there will be a lot of trouble waiting for us in the future. Why don't I just get a minor injury so that everyone can be in peace."
She was doing this for both of their own good, and her tone was sincere.
Hongyu didn't know that what Wen Zhu actually wanted was to let Wen Chan feel the pain too.
Hearing her say these words, I was so moved that I was speechless. I even began to think in my heart how nice it would be if she was Gui Wen Zhuguan.
Seeing Hongyu's expression, Wen Zhu said again: "If I delay healing this injury, maybe it will keep the young lady at bay for a few more days. Please keep this medicine for me."
She decided to make Wen Chan suffer the same injury.
Hongyu quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay, don't worry, young lady, I will definitely keep it well."
Wen Zhu lowered his eyes and looked at his injured hand.
On the other side, the master and servant were extremely anxious.
"Didn't I specifically tell you to tell the people down there to be more careful? How did you do that?!"
Wen Chan angrily threw the flowers she had just arranged on the ground and said, "Now that hand is injured like this, do I have to suffer with it too?"
Qiuyue said with sweat on her forehead: "Young Madam, I really gave instructions. It must be that Mrs. Wu doesn't know the rules. I will go and teach her a lesson!"
"It doesn't matter whether I teach a lesson or not!"
Wen Chan's face flushed red. "Look at her injuries. They'll take at least a few days to heal. But I haven't been with the prince for six or seven days, using my period as an excuse. How can I wait?!"
This newlywed couple has not been married for long. If they haven't had any intimate behavior for half a month, who knows what people would say about them.
Wen Chan gritted her teeth. How could it become like this?
She originally wanted to make Wen Zhu feel uncomfortable for a while, but she didn't expect that she would be implicated too.
Wen Chan looked down at her well-maintained hands, which had never been injured since she was a child.
"Madam..." Qiuyue's voice trembled with fear, "Do you really want to do this?"
Outside the wall, Hongyu was squatting in the corner, listening carefully to the conversation in the room, and planning to turn around and tell Wen Zhu what she heard.
When Wen Zhu heard that Wen Chan had really asked Qiu Yue to pick up branches, he almost laughed out loud. This injury was not in vain.
Hongyu didn't understand: "Miss, why did the lady do this?"
If she didn't want anyone to find out, she could just let Wen Zhu wrap her hand up so that Fu Yu wouldn't know that her hand was injured.
In this case, Wen Chan only needs to pretend, why bother himself?
"Maybe the young lady thought it would be safer to hurt her as well." Wen Zhu said.
Hongyu thought about it and said, "That's true."
If Fu Yu discovers any clues, Wen Chan's inability to sleep with Wen Zhu will be exposed, and Wen Zhu's identity will also be revealed. This matter is of great importance, and we must ensure that everything is foolproof.
Over there, Qiuyue trotted out the door.
It is not difficult to find thorny branches. Qiuyue felt pain in her hand even when she pinched it gently. Thinking that Wen Chan would have to hold it tightly in a while, she gritted her teeth in pain and cursed Wen Zhu several times in her heart.
Qiuyue carefully wrapped the flower branch and hid it in her sleeve. She was about to go back when she suddenly heard a familiar voice say, "No one is found in the entire backyard?"
Hearing the sound, Qiuyue immediately squatted down and hid behind the bushes.
Didn’t Fu Yu go to the front yard? Why is he here?
"Yes, I asked the housekeeper and looked around myself, but I really didn't see anyone." Mo Yi said.
He was also confused. How could such a grown man disappear in broad daylight?
"Oh right," Mo Yi suddenly thought of something, "I think it might be the servant brought by the Madam."
Fu Yu frowned.
She was a maid who came with us. She should be busy in Liuyun Garden. Why did she run to the backyard to pick up branches?
"Forget it," Fu Yu shook his head, "Forget it, let's just leave it at that."
After saying that, Fu Yu walked forward.
If I continue searching, it will probably attract more attention and my family will not have peace.
Behind the bushes, Qiuyue looked bewildered. Fu Yu couldn't find anyone at home? This was too strange.
Qiuyue didn't dare to delay and hurried back to Liuyun Garden carefully.
Everything was normal in the main house until dark, when Wen Zhu was called over. Wen Chan gave her a beating as usual before letting her in.
The room was still dim. Wen Chan did not mention it specifically after being injured, so Fu Yu did not notice the injury on Wen Zhu's hand that night.
The next morning, Fu Yu was surprised when he saw the scars on Wen Chan's hands: "What happened?"
Wen Chan was startled and instinctively put her hand away: "I didn't notice the thorns on the branches when I was picking the flowers. It's a minor injury. Don't worry, husband."
Fu Yu sighed: "If you were injured, you should have told me last night."
He is not an impatient person, so he can just wait until Wen Chan recovers from his injuries.
Wen Chan laughed dryly: "It's really just a minor injury, it won't affect anything."
She smiled, but she was very unhappy. Wen Zhu said nothing. Wasn't her injury in vain?
Thinking of this, Wen Chan felt as if his chest was blocked.
She and Wen Zhu are just not compatible!
After waiting for Fu Yu to leave, Wen Chan said, "Send someone to find Wen Zhu."
She had to let out the anger in her heart.
Qiuyue said, "Madam, the second young lady went out a long time ago and hasn't come back yet."
After hearing this, Wen Chan felt even more upset.
Wen Zhu, who Qiuyue mentioned had left a long time ago, was now strolling on the garden path, leisurely enjoying the beautiful scenery around him.
Suddenly, she saw someone walking towards her.
The man was tall and straight, wearing a light green embroidered robe, with broad shoulders and a slim waist, and walked with a steady pace. He looked very handsome from a distance.
"It's the prince!" Hongyu exclaimed in a low voice, and quickly pulled Wen Zhu aside to salute.
With Hongyu present, Wen Zhu had no choice but to follow Hongyu and bow her head in greeting.
Fu Yu saw that the two women were wearing maids' clothes and bowed politely to him, so he didn't take it seriously at first.
But when he passed by Wen Zhu, he smelled a familiar fragrance.
Like the scent of the white handkerchief that morning.
