The sun was very strong in the afternoon, and when Chen Yao returned to her yard, she was already covered in sweat.
"Prepare some water. I want to take a bath."
Xichun replied "yes" and quickly asked someone to prepare water.
Yue Zhu stayed in the room and brought Chen Yao the drink she had prepared in advance, "Miss, drink some to cool down."
Chen Yao hummed and asked her to put it aside and drink it later.
Yuezhu put down the drink and stepped aside without disturbing her anymore.
Chen Yao sat quietly on the chair, holding in her hand the document of commitment that Qi Yunxiao had just folded for her.
As soon as she opened it, every word on the paper caught her eye.
September 21, 18th year of Jinghe. I was seriously wounded, nearly dead, but fortunately saved by a benefactor. I write this letter today to repay my benefactor's promise: regardless of wealth or poverty, I will repay him with all my heart. From now on, whenever a favor is needed, I will certainly help.
At the end of the document, the seal of "Linyuan" was neatly stamped.
Chen Yao smiled, looked at it again, and then folded it up and told Yue Zhu, "Bring me my carved huanghuali wood box. I want to put something in it."
Yue Zhu agreed, found the wooden box and brought it over. "Miss, look, is this it?"
Chen Yao: "Yes, that's it, give it to me."
Yue Zhu gently placed it in front of Chen Yao and asked curiously, "Miss, this wooden box usually contains your most precious things. What are you going to put in it now?"
Chen Yao held the folded document between her fingers and waved it in front of Yue Zhu. "Here, this is it."
Yue Zhu took a closer look, propped up her chin and muttered, "It's a piece of paper with words written on it."
Shen Yao smiled and said, "This is not paper, it is a thousand gold coins."
Yue Zhu was puzzled: "What do you mean by a thousand gold coins?"
What thousand gold?
Of course, a promise is worth a thousand gold.
But Chen Yao just smiled without saying anything. After putting the things in the wooden box and covering it, she gently pinched Yue Zhu's face and ordered, "Please help me put it away."
Yuezhu nodded in confusion and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
......
East courtyard.
Qi Yunxiao sat at the desk, playing with the seal in his hand, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Why... can't I remember anything?
But this little object is so familiar.
In addition to it, there was also a jade pendant that he had just placed under his pillow.
So, those were the only two things he had with him? He didn't even have a basic wallet.
Does this mean that before he got into trouble, there must have been someone following him, and they must have been people he trusted very much, and most likely more than one.
Then why were they separated and he was the only one left here?
Looking at the wounds on his body, the most serious one was the knife wound on his chest near his heart, followed by the blow on his head. The wounds on other places were not as serious as these two.
But in both cases, it was obvious that the purpose was to take his life.
Who on earth wants to kill him so much?
Who is he to have such an enemy? Even the enemies around him couldn't be defended.
Too many doubts piled up in his mind. Qi Yunxiao tried to find a breakthrough one by one, but he still couldn't figure out any clues.
At this moment, Ling Su came over with a few new sets of clothes and called him, "Mo Chuan, I brought you some new clothes. Do you want to try them on to see if they fit you?"
Qi Yunxiao was concentrating on his thoughts and subconsciously said, "Leave it there. You step back first."
Ling Su: ???
What was with this master's tone? Aren't they all guards? And according to chronological order, he was his senior!
Is this how you talk to your senior? This guy is simply... arrogant!
Qi Yunxiao also realized that something was wrong with him, "Sorry, that's not what I meant. I might have been... possessed for a moment."
Although Ling Su felt a little depressed, he soon recovered. He just waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I won't bother with you. I'll put that thing here for now and won't bother you. Call me if you need anything."
Qi Yunxiao pursed his lips: "Thank you."
Ling Su laughed out loud and said, "No need to thank me. These are all Miss's wishes. I am only doing things for her. You can thank her in person later."
Qi Yunxiao raised his head and said, "Well, I understand, but thank you very much anyway. Thank you for your help."
Ling Su listened to what he heard and felt that it was truly soothing. His mood brightened, and before leaving, he told him something that he didn't know if it would help him regain his memory: "That night, you most likely came from a small path on the western outskirts of the city. Although I don't know exactly what happened to you, that path is not often used by many people, and not many people know about it either."
......
On Chen Yao's side, she was sitting lazily in the bathtub, enjoying the attentive massage service of Xichun and Yuezhu.
Faced with their master's delicate and fair skin, Xichun and Yuezhu didn't dare to use too much strength with their hands, for fear of accidentally leaving marks on it.
But Chen Yao had been busy all day and was feeling very tired. She wanted them to push harder to push away her fatigue, so she said bluntly, "Press harder."
Xichun and Yuezhu looked at each other somewhat embarrassedly, then shook their heads at her at the same time.
Xichun said softly, "Miss, I can't bear to leave."
Yue Zhu followed up, "Miss, I can't bear to leave either."
Chen Yao: ...
"You really don't have to worry about it. Just press harder. I'll tell you if it hurts. Come on, try it a little harder."
Xichun hesitated: "Miss, is that true? Then where should I start?"
Chen Yao pointed to her shoulder and said, "Here, try it."
Xichun stretched out his hand, and this time he finally used a little more strength. Chen Yao was satisfied, "Okay, okay, I'll use this strength from now on."
Xichun: "Okay, but if you feel any pain, you must tell me."
Chen Yao nodded with her eyes narrowed in comfort, muttering, "When I marry into my husband's family, I will definitely take you both with me. You both are very much in my heart."
Xichun and Yuezhu both laughed and said, "Wherever the young lady goes, we will follow."
