Chapter 315 Mr. Chu
I still don't plan to let him go! But let's get up tomorrow morning. At least I have one more night to think about how to make up this lie. It's better than being pushed to the guillotine now.
The corners of Fan Wenxuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he stood up, flicked his sleeves and left.
Chu Jinnian yawned, rubbed his sore eyes, and put down the book in his hand.
After several days of traveling, he was quite sleepy.
But if I didn't go to check on Zhuang Qingning who was still unconscious before going to bed, I would feel a little worried.
Chu Jinnian picked up a coat and put it on.
But just two steps out of the room, he turned back.
Fan Wenxuan's words just now did remind him that even if he cared about her, he still had to know his limits. Otherwise, he would be worse than an animal, and to Zhuang Qingning, his words would probably be even more unpleasant.
Chu Jinnian returned to his room and sent someone to inquire. When he learned that Zhuang Qingning was fine and just sleeping as usual, he felt relieved and went to bed to rest. ——The morning light was dim and the birds were singing.
Zhuang Qingning gradually regained consciousness and woke up.
But my eyelids seemed very heavy, and it was very difficult to open them. My head also seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and I felt extremely uncomfortable if it shook even slightly.
Zhuang Qingning subconsciously raised his hand and placed it on his forehead, wanting to rub both sides of his forehead to make himself feel more comfortable.
It wasn't a big deal to lift it up, but she felt as if she had lifted something up, and it instantly covered her.
Hmm...
What is that?! Zhuang Qingning struggled, pulled off the thing covering his head, and sat up.
This is, a piece of clothing? And it seems to be a man's clothing.
But why are the man's clothes here? And where is this place...
Zhuang Qingning looked up at the unfamiliar environment he was in, and his heart sank slightly.
Could it be... that she has traveled through time again? [Pfft, host, you are overthinking.]
[If it is a second time travel, for a life form like the host who has a system, it will have to report to the system management bureau and be assigned a destination. It will definitely not be so quiet.]
That's good.
Zhuang Qingning breathed a sigh of relief.
At least she doesn't have to say goodbye to those people in this world whom she doesn't want to leave.
But where is it now and why is she here?
[Well, host, please recall it carefully yourself? ]
Reminiscing memories?
Zhuang Qingning tilted his head.
Yes, last night when she was fighting with the two thieves and her life was hanging by a thread, a certain Five said that it had a big move. After it finished speaking, someone appeared and saved her from the thieves' knives. Then she felt dizzy and desperately grabbed the sleeve of the person who saved her...
In other words, she was probably rescued by that man and brought here. After she fainted, she still desperately pulled the man's sleeve, so that the man had to take off his coat, so she had a man's coat in her hand...
this……
This is so embarrassing!
Zhuang Qingning imagined the other party's depressed expression last night when he was unable to extricate himself and finally had no choice but to throw his clothes off, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Just as Zhuang Qingning was thinking about how to thank and apologize to his savior, the door suddenly opened.
A round-faced woman with two buns, dressed like a maid, walked in. Seeing Zhuang Qingning awake and sitting on the bed, she was immediately surprised and said, "Miss Zhuang, you're awake. That's great."
"Hurry up, go and tell the eldest master that Miss Zhuang has woken up. Go quickly."
Last night, Chu Jinnian sent people over several times to inquire about Miss Zhuang's situation. Gan Cao naturally understood the importance of this matter, so it would be best for him to report it as soon as possible.
After instructing others, Gancao walked up to her quickly and bowed, "Miss, are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you hungry? You have slept all night, I am afraid you are thirsty now. I have prepared some warm water, Miss Zhuang, please have a drink."
After saying that, he handed over the teacup.
It was hot in the summer and Zhuang Qingning had slept for such a long time that he felt really thirsty. He drank all the water in the teacup in one gulp.
Seeing this, Gan Cao filled Zhuang Qingning's cup again.
After drinking three cups, Zhuang Qingning put the cup down and said, "Thank you..."
Zhuang Qingning wanted to thank him, but suddenly realized that he didn't know the other person's name, so he smiled apologetically.
"My name is Gancao. I'm a maid here. Miss Zhuang, you can just call me Gancao." Gancao grinned.
She has a round face and shallow dimples, which is very cute.
"Thank you, Miss Licorice." Zhuang Qingning replied with a smile.
"Miss Zhuang, you are too polite. You are my master's guest, so this is the norm." Gan Cao put away the teacup. "Miss, you must be hungry. I will go and prepare the meal. Does Miss Zhuang have any dietary restrictions?"
"Miss Gancao, please don't bother me." Zhuang Qingning said, "Just fetch me some water. I want to wash up and go thank your master."
"I just don't know your son's name..."
If you don't know who to thank, it will only make things even more awkward.
The first thing he did after waking up was to thank the man who saved his life. He even tidied his appearance to show his respect for the favor. He was indeed a very polite person.
"The eldest son's surname is Chu, Chu Jinnian." Gancao replied with a smile.
"Thank you Miss Licorice for telling me."
"Miss Zhuang, you are too polite. Please wait for a moment. I will be back soon." After saying this, Gan Cao went out to prepare water and things for washing.
After Gancao came back, Zhuang Qingning washed up, tidied his hair, and got up.
Gan Cao said, "I have just sent someone to inform the eldest master that Miss Zhuang has woken up. The eldest master is in the flower hall now. Miss Zhuang, please follow me."
"Please lead the way, Miss Licorice."
Zhuang Qingning followed Gancao out of the room, out of the yard, and along the corridor to the flower hall she mentioned, and saw the eldest son Chu Jinnian, her savior, as Gancao mentioned.
Sharp eyebrows, eagle eyes, and extraordinary bearing. Zhuang Qingning couldn't think of any more adjectives to describe him at this moment. He only knew that when he saw the person in front of him, a line of words suddenly emerged in his mind.
The piled stones are like jade, and the rows of pines are like emerald. Lang Yan is unique and there is no other like him in the world.
The saying "The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world" probably refers to people like this.
As expected, the saying goes, "a beautiful person with a kind heart" is a good one.
Zhuang Qingning withdrew her gaze and bowed to Chu Jinnian. "Thanks to Lord Chu's help last night, I was able to save my life. I came here today to express my gratitude. Thank you Lord Chu for saving my life."
Lord Chu? Gan Cao was stunned.
She didn't seem to mention just now that her son was an official in the court, so how did she know that?
Chu Jinnian was also surprised. When he saw Gancao's confused expression next to him, he realized that Gancao had not informed him of this matter in advance.
So……
