Having no other choice, she had to go out looking disheveled.
The people in the mansion still bowed and scraped to her as usual, and the crow in the courtyard still cawed at her... Everything was perfectly normal, except for the "little tail" that always followed behind her.
Calling it a small tail might not be quite accurate, because this tail is so large that it's hard to ignore.
Walking into a quiet alley, after Su Chen turned around for the nth time, she saw a huge figure forcefully squeeze himself into a cramped corner.
Upon seeing this, Su Chen covered her face and sighed, "Come out. Who can't see this?"
"I see you, so come out." She waved wearily toward the corner of the wall.
The "little tail" peeked out slightly, barely revealing one eye.
“It’s you, no need to look anymore.” Su Chen nodded.
The "little tail" then slowly emerged from the corner.
"Who are you? What are you doing following me?" Su Chen put her hands on her hips, trying to intimidate the burly man with her presence. But... the way she tilted her head back didn't look imposing at all.
"Young mistress, this servant Fu Zi is here on the orders of the steward to protect the young master and young mistress." The burly man clasped his hands and bowed his head.
"You've been... cough cough, right next to me, this young mistress?" What? If that's really the case, then everyone knows everything I've done these past few days, right? Maybe... maybe that villain already knows. Then... why don't you ask her? Are you going to catch her red-handed? Why...
"No, I only accepted the order yesterday when the young master came to you."
Su Chen secretly comforted her heart. Thank goodness, no one would know about the awful things she had done.
but……
"Wasn't it your young master who took me to the clinic yesterday?"
"Yes, but the young master came back again and woke up everyone in the manor, including the master and madam."
"Huh? Master and Madam have been woken up?" What happened that made him wake his parents up in the middle of the night?
Fu Zi scratched his head, thought for a while, and finally shouted loudly, making Su Chen tremble.
"Yes, I remember now! They said they wanted to investigate Cai'er's recent activities."
Cha Cai'er? Why are you investigating her? Su Chen recalled everything that happened before she fainted yesterday.
That's it! Cai'er can openly harm her in the mansion. This time she escaped, but next time she might harm the entire Qian family! Qian Duo probably investigates her because he's afraid she'll threaten his and his parents' lives.
Su Chen tried hard to recall, and Cai'er said, "If you have to blame someone, blame the Qian family for marrying you, and for making me serve you."
Is she blaming the Qian family? Does she have a grudge against them? She refers to herself as "this one," does that mean she's the leader of some sect? Or some famous martial arts master with a title?
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, this person seems pretty awesome! She definitely can't beat her, and besides, she's not even in the character pool, so thinking about it is pointless.
Su Chen saw that Fu Zi was still hunched over and quickly helped her up, saying, "Don't hide, just stay by my side."
Who knows, Wuhen might be a bloodthirsty person? If we put Fuzi, who's as big as a small hill, next to him, we might scare him away.
Even if the probability seems to be 0.0001%, there is at least a chance that it isn't.
So, Su Chen took Fu Zi for a stroll around the town.
Rumors had long circulated in the town that the young mistress of the Qian family was a shrew, and now seeing this strong, bear-like man beside her, everyone quickly closed their shops, afraid of serving this scoundrel.
