Chapter 633 Will I get a reward?
"It's nothing, just a minor injury, nothing serious."
As Gu Qianhan spoke, he grasped Shen Wantang's hand with his other hand, not wanting her to see his injury.
Shen Wantang didn't say anything, she just kept looking at him.
Before long, Gu Qianhan succumbed to her clear and determined gaze. He knew she was determined to see it.
He had no choice but to roll up his sleeve and show her his injury.
Shen Wantang looked at the long wound on his arm and couldn't help but gasp: "You call this a minor injury? It's still bleeding, why aren't you applying any medicine?"
Moreover, when she grabbed his arm just now, she must have touched his wound, but he didn't utter a sound. He can really endure it!
Seeing her distress, Gu Qianhan smiled gently: "It is indeed a minor injury. The wound looks scary, but it is actually very shallow, so there is no need to apply medicine, and I didn't plan to tell you."
Shen Wantang shook her head helplessly. She had never known that the famous young nobleman in the capital had such strong endurance.
Perhaps it's because he's been too independent since childhood, and no one cared about him when he got hurt, so he's gotten used to it.
Perhaps it's because he has already died twice, so this kind of injury is nothing to him now.
A slight ache rose in Shen Wantang's heart. She stood up and went to the cabinet to get some ointment and clean cotton cloth.
A cotton cloth was dampened and used to wipe away the dried bloodstains on his arm and clean his hands.
Then gently wipe away the newly seeping blood with a cotton cloth before applying the medicine.
Under the dim light, her movements were gentle and meticulous, her expression focused and serious. For a moment, Gu Qianhan wanted to freeze this moment forever.
Because it was night, she had removed her hairpins and let her hair down. Now, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, she was dressed simply, her skin was like cream, and her lips were red and her teeth were white. She was as beautiful as a painting.
"A-Tang".
"Um?"
You are so beautiful.
"Um."
"I'm so lucky."
Shen Wantang looked up at him with amusement: "Then please be luckier next time, Mr. Gu, so you don't end up with such a big cut on yourself."
"Okay, this was an accident. I'll be more careful next time."
Shen Wantang nodded, bandaged his wound, and then gave him two bottles of medicine: "One bottle for external application, change the dressing twice a day; one bottle for internal use, take one pill three times a day."
Gu Qianhan put away the medicine, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace: "I'll remember that. Thank you, Dr. Shen. I feel like even if my head were to fall off, I could be saved with you here."
However, she couldn't save him in her previous life.
Shen Wantang raised her hand and touched his face: "Don't talk nonsense. My medical skills are limited. You should cherish your life."
Gu Qianhan loved having his face touched by her. Her movements were always gentle, and her hands were soft. She had touched his face the first time he died in the dungeon, and he had remembered it for two lifetimes, right up to this day.
Unfortunately, she only touched it for a short while before taking her hand away. Then she took a box from the table next to her and handed it to him.
He asked, somewhat puzzled, "What is this?"
Shen Wantang smiled at him: "Why don't you take a look and you'll see?"
He reluctantly released her waist, took the box, and opened the lid.
A box full of silver notes was laid out before him, and he was stunned: "Is this the money you got from selling those things? You're giving it to me?"
Shen Wantang smiled, her eyes crinkling: "It's not a free gift. You'll have to pay me back double in the future."
Gu Qianhan put down the box and hugged her tightly: "How did you know I was short of money?"
"Hmm, just guessing."
"With such intelligence, why didn't you keep these things for yourself? Aren't you afraid of losing money by giving them to me?"
"Anyway, you delivered it, so there's no such thing as losing money. If you have any conscience, I can even make a profit in the future."
As Shen Wantang spoke, she touched his chest: "You still have a conscience, don't you?"
Gu Qianhan felt a tickle in his heart from her touch, and he chuckled, "I have a conscience, but not much. However, it's just enough for you."
Shen Wantang reached out and hugged him: "That's fine then."
Gu Qianhan lowered his head and kissed her cherry-red lips.
She's so soft.
He's starting to regret setting the wedding date for the 16th of next month. Only half the month has passed, and he still has a whole month before he can marry her—it's going to be so long.
Shen Wantang blushed and her heart pounded as he kissed her. She tried to push him away, but he only hugged her tighter and tighter.
"Gu Qianhan, it's getting late, you should go."
"Are you being so heartless? Are you just going to kick me out?"
"I think I've been too soft-hearted, which is why you've taken advantage of me."
"Then I'll stay for another fifteen minutes, and then I'll leave, okay?"
Shen Wantang remained silent, tacitly agreeing.
After a while, she heard Gu Qianhan say, "I took the million taels of silver that Ye Zhongli embezzled."
"Yes, I guessed it."
"So I'm still relatively well-off right now. Keep all your things for yourself, don't sell anything, understand?"
"good."
"I also sent people to rob the Grand Secretary's mansion. The spoils were no less than those from Ye Zhongli's place. Grand Secretary Liu, who was known for his integrity and honesty, was rolling in money."
"Yes, I guessed it was you. No one else would be so bold as to rob the Grand Secretary's mansion."
"I also robbed several of the Crown Prince's banks. Did you guess that too?"
No, not at all.
Because Shen Wantang had no idea which banks belonged to the Crown Prince, let alone that any banks had been robbed, she assumed the Crown Prince was ashamed and kept the matter a secret.
But the fact that Gu Qianhan seized so many places shows that he really needs an astonishing amount of money.
Shen Wantang remained silent for a while before finally asking the question that had been on her mind: "So, are you better prepared this time? Do you think you can succeed?"
He had failed once before, so Shen Wantang was genuinely worried that he might fail again...
She often felt that her decision to marry him was somewhat irrational.
However, she knew better than anyone else that she had fallen in love with him, and she could no longer marry just any man and be a couple in name only, like she had done the previous two times.
She couldn't bear to watch him die in front of her again; she didn't want to experience that kind of pain once more.
"Don't be afraid."
Gu Qianhan's deep voice rang in her ear: "I have experience now, and I will definitely succeed this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to propose marriage. In my past life, I was afraid of failure, which is why I didn't take you away from Xiao Qingyuan."
Shen Wantang rested her face against his firm chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and whispered, "Okay, I believe you will succeed."
Gu Qianhan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then said, "There's one more thing I need to tell you."
"What's up?"
"I told Liu Nanshi about Chu Yanluo's rebirth, and I also told her personal nanny about Chu Yanluo changing her appearance to become a maid for your elder sister. Liu Nanshi now knows that it was Chu Yanluo who sold her to the Wan Hua Lou."
Shen Wantang couldn't help but laugh: "I was just wondering how to tell Liu Nanshi about these things, and you've already taken care of it for me. You've done a great job!"
"Will I get a reward?"
Shen Wantang tilted her head back and gently kissed his chin: "No!"
