tonight?
Mei'er was shocked and pulled Yunhe aside, saying nervously, "If the old lady finds out we're going out so late at night, she'll be worried."
"Then don't let the old lady know. I'll trouble you, Sister Mei'er. The eldest young lady instructed that you must be brought back." Yunhe's words clearly did not give Mei'er a chance to bargain.
Mei'er wasn't angry. She even thought that the young lady was a kind and righteous person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have run to such a place in the middle of the night for a dead servant.
On the other side, keeping her promise, Madam Su stuffed the drugged Granny Yang into her pocket and handed her to Yunhe. She thought that such a frail girl was no match for her, and that she could find another way to send her out of the Qian family mansion later, at least saving Granny Yang's life.
Unfortunately, Su's wishful thinking backfired. Yunhe tied up the bag, tossed the bundle over his shoulder, and strode out of the courtyard.
Old Mrs. Wu, who was standing beside her, sighed with emotion, "It seems this is her fate."
"Do you think I'm too heartless?" Madam Su gripped the silk handkerchief tightly. If she hadn't witnessed Youxue's needlework during the day, she would never have believed that the good-for-nothing in the eyes of the world had actually become a doctor.
Why……
I was so blind back then, why didn't I notice that Youxue was different from ordinary people?
"No, she died for the young master. I believe she can die in peace." Granny Wu shook her head, supporting the swaying lady.
Madam Su smiled wearily, rubbed her aching temples, and looked up at Granny Wu, saying, "No matter what, I am grateful to her. Although we haven't found a way to save Bowen, it's a blessing that he's alive."
"What about Lord Sai's side?" Granny Wu was a little worried, because for so long, it had been Granny Yang who had been the one to contact Lord Sai.
Madam Su shook her head and said calmly, "Lord Sai has high standards; even I wouldn't take him seriously, let alone a servant. Besides, Youxue's guess might not be wrong. I, as the lady of the house, don't even know the secrets of the Qian family, so how could an outsider like her know them?"
"Madam's consideration is very wise. It would be wise to be more careful when dealing with Lord Sai in the future," said Granny Wu, though she was very worried.
Lord Sai is of noble status; he is not someone an ordinary person can handle. If we were to force our way through, not only the Qian family, but even the Su family would likely be implicated.
...
Xuan Mingye woke up, truly awake as his body temperature rose.
The moment he opened his eyes and regained the ability to move, he wanted to do one thing: bring back that heartless little brat, Qian Youxue, and give her a good beating.
"Regretted it?" Bu Yu brushed the ash off the incense sticks, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"I have never cared for anyone so much in all these years. I never expected to fall for someone so heartless. In this critical moment, instead of thinking about saving me first, you're trying to negotiate with me." Xuan Mingye's face darkened as he was helped to sit up by Leng Xue.
Hahaha……
After listening, Bu Yu burst into laughter, then patted his chest with a bitter face, saying as if he were about to cry, "She's not just heartless, she's a robber. Ask Wuya, all the herbs I painstakingly gathered in that room, she didn't leave me a single one."
Haha... Hahaha...
Xuan Mingye actually laughed after hearing this, but what he said next almost made Bu Yu want to bang his head against the wall.
