So he said, "Miss Qiu, this place is rather remote, and the defenses may be a bit weak. Someone, please take Miss Qiu to a side room to rest."
He certainly couldn't leave the other person to sleep in his son-in-law's room.
Qiu Honglei had no objection: "Thank you, Lord Mingyue."
At the same time, he was secretly annoyed. It was all that mysterious woman's fault. Otherwise, he could have waited for Zu An to come back and get closer to him.
After arranging things for Qiu Honglei, Chu Zhongtian hurriedly summoned his steward Hong Zhong and asked him to rearrange the manor's defenses, since too many things had happened at the manor recently.
Chu Huanzhao was sent to check on her sister's injuries. She only realized halfway there that she had gone to settle scores with that vixen, so why was she just leaving like that?
However, thinking of the other party's disheveled appearance, she finally felt a little better. She wondered who that mysterious woman was, and thought that she had really helped her vent her anger.
After a while, her mood suddenly dropped again. Although she was usually carefree, she could still distinguish between beauty and ugliness.
I originally thought that Qiu Honglei's reputation was just a rumor, after all, how beautiful could she be?
But having just seen it with her own eyes, she had to admit that the other woman was indeed incredibly beautiful, exuding feminine charm in every gesture.
She couldn't help but glance at her flat chest and muttered under her breath, "The thing is, it's so big..."
"What are you saying?" Qin Wanru was guarding outside her daughter's door when she suddenly noticed that her little daughter had returned, muttering to herself, looking as if she was unhappy.
"It's nothing." Chu Huanzhao's gaze suddenly sharpened as he noticed his mother's ample bosom, and he became even more depressed.
Why didn't I inherit this trait from my mother? Otherwise, I wouldn't have to be afraid of that Qiu Honglei.
"What's wrong with you?" Noticing that her face looked abnormal, Qin Wanru couldn't help but reach out and touch her forehead. Her eldest daughter had already had an accident, and she didn't want anything to happen to her youngest daughter as well.
Chu Huanzhao blushed and quickly changed the subject: "It's nothing, how is my sister now?"
Now it was Qin Wanru's turn to blush: "Your brother-in-law is... is he receiving treatment?"
Upon hearing the news about his brother-in-law, Chu Huanzhao immediately beamed with joy: "Brother-in-law is amazing! I'll ask him to treat me whenever I get sick in the future!"
Qin Wanru, who was standing to the side, was shocked and hurriedly said, "No, absolutely not!"
"Why?" Chu Huanzhao looked bewildered, unable to understand why she would react this way.
"There's no reason why, it just doesn't work." Qin Wanru blushed as she thought of Zu'an's treatment method.
"Why can my sister do it, but I can't? Mother, you're being too biased." Chu Huanzhao was already unhappy about Qiu Honglei's matter, and then he thought about how his parents had always praised his sister since he was a child. Although they didn't say it explicitly, children can still keenly sense which one their parents prefer.
Years of pent-up grievances suddenly erupted, and tears streamed down her face. After leaving behind a single sentence, she ran away without looking back, ignoring Qin Wanru's calls from behind.
"This child!" Qin Wanru stomped her foot. Chu Chuyan and the others were at a crucial moment, and she didn't dare to leave the door to chase after her youngest daughter. She could only stomp her foot helplessly.
My silly daughter, if you knew how your brother-in-law treated your sister, would you still want him to treat her?
It's all that guy Zaun's fault!
Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 531!
Zuan, who was inside the house, was startled. He thought to himself, "Is this woman incompatible with me? Why is she suddenly angry with me now?"
Chu Chuyan noticed his unusual behavior and asked with a somewhat dazed expression, "What's wrong?"
When the voice came out, she was startled and could hardly believe it was her own voice.
She had never spoken in such a charming and languid tone before, yet now it all seemed so natural.
Zuan smiled slightly: "It's nothing."
Hmph, your mother's always irritating me, she'll take it out on you too.
...
She didn't know how much time had passed, but Qin Wanru was almost exhausted from standing at the door when the door was finally opened, and Zu An came out dressed.
Qin Wanru was secretly annoyed, thinking to herself, "Are you an animal? How much time has passed? Why did it take you so long to come out!"
Unfortunately, he couldn't say these words out loud, so he could only ask, "How is Chu Yan?"
Zuan replied, "She's out of danger now. After a few more treatments to stabilize her condition, she should be fully recovered. At that time, the hidden illness in her body will also be completely eradicated."
Qin Wanru was dumbfounded: "How many more times do I need to stabilize it?"
"Hmm~" Zu An's face flushed. This was actually due to his own selfish motives. In fact, after today, Chu Chuyan's injuries would be almost fully healed.
But now that he's in charge, wouldn't he be a fool to let such a good opportunity slip by?
Qin Wanru's face turned pale and then red, but in the end she didn't say anything. Instead, she hurriedly went inside to check on her daughter's safety.
Zuan felt that leaving now would seem heartless, but it would be awkward for him to stay while the mother and daughter were having private conversations.
Just as they were about to leave, Yue Shan rushed over in a hurry: "Where are the master and mistress? Something terrible has happened!"
