Wuhen's words only made Su Chen more uneasy.
Su Chen thought for a long time and finally remembered the line that the heroes in movies and TV dramas said when they were showing off. She thought that the line was quite appropriate to use in the present.
Her expression was very "serious," and she said, "We've only met by chance, nothing to brag about?"
"Hmph." Wuhen smiled contemptuously and said nothing more.
Su Chen wasn't stupid; she naturally knew that he was looking down on her.
But now is not the time to fight. Most importantly! She can't beat them...
With her frail body, she could be crushed by Wuhen at any moment.
As the old saying goes, "A great man can bend and stretch." But right now, preserving your life is the most important thing.
Su Chen pretended not to hear. Immediately, she wrapped her robe tightly around herself and fled without looking back. Fu Zi followed her out of the shop, looking dejected.
She walked for a while without daring to leave, and only after confirming that no one was following her or hearing her speak did Su Chen finally breathe a sigh of relief.
She poked Fu Zi with a look of disdain and said, "What's the use of being so tall and strong? When it comes to the real battle, I'll probably have to save you."
"I..." Fu Zi stammered, probably realizing he had been quite cowardly, not daring to utter a single word...
Because of her personality, Su Chen knew that this wasn't entirely his fault. She had said something in a fit of anger, and since the other person was already quite insecure about his size, it was really inappropriate to rub salt in his wounds like that.
Thinking of this, Su Chen quickly changed the subject, saying, "Alright, alright, let's go back to the manor. I'm tired."
It has to be said, her day was truly... being pinched, thrown around, and constantly thinking about how to survive and complete the mission. Now she felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. Her already frail body couldn't take it anymore, and she was in pain all over.
With Fu Zi's help, she finally limped to the Qian residence, and then limped to the steward.
When Fuzi arrived at the housekeeper's house, the housekeeper was already asleep. Fuzi knocked on the door for a long time.
Who is it?
"I."
Who are you?
"I am who I am."
Su Chen, her face full of black lines, stood on tiptoe and patted Fu Zi's shoulder, "You say I'm who I am? You're a different kind of firework! Move aside, I'll take your place!"
"I am Qian Sushi." The Rules for Students say that when knocking on a door, you must state your name directly. Don't just say "me" right away. Who are you? Are you calling me by my name?
Upon hearing "Qian Su Shi," the housekeeper was terrified. He immediately jumped out of bed and rushed to open the door.
The butler, impeccably dressed and beaming, greeted her with a fawning smile: "Young Madam!? What has happened that has brought you here in person?"
"I've come to ask for a maid."
Upon hearing this, the butler exclaimed, "Damn it, I've forgotten about this! The young mistress's temper has been getting worse lately!" He then said, "I'm sorry, young mistress, I was so busy that I forgot to send you a new maid."
"It's alright, send one over now, and bring a bottle of liniment while you're at it." Su Chen said, then leaned against the wall and went back.
The housekeeper was left standing there, completely baffled as to what the young mistress was doing with the liniment.
As for Su Chen, she went back to her room and lay down on the bed, waiting for the maid to apply liniment.
After waiting for a long time without anyone showing up, just as I was about to get up and go look for them again, the door creaked open.
Su Chen was too lazy to get up. "You're here? Could you please apply some liniment for me, just on my back? I can apply the rest myself. Thanks."
The person didn't speak, but Su Chen felt the bedding sink a little, so they must have sat down next to her.
Su Chen didn't think much of it and let the "maid" apply liniment to her bruises.
