C5 Return the Favor

Chu Nianhe supported Madam Lin and sat on the bed. Seeing that the room was cold and empty, she turned to Xiaochan who was behind her and said, "Go and bring a cup of water for Aunt."

Madam Lin drank the hot tea, some color of blood slowly returning to his pale face.

She caressed the scared and asleep Nian Yi and said to Chu Nianhe, "Eldest Miss, it's all thanks to you today …" Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive. "

Chu Nianyi sighed and said, "Aunt should also know how to protect herself. Why did she keep quiet and allow herself to be bullied by Madam Su?"

A tinge of gentleness appeared between the brows of his Madam Lin. "If this can help old master lessen the amount of trouble, then I am willing as well.

Chu Nianyi looked at Madam Lin in shock, unable to say a word.

In her previous life, she was only immersed in her own world and rarely cared about the sorrows and joys of others in this mansion. She also never knew that this unfavored Madam Lin would actually have such deep feelings for her father.

She forced a smile and said in an obscure tone, "Aunt Lin, although father is your only husband, there are many concubines in this mansion …"

She could not continue, and only hoped that she could understand her own Madam Lin a little bit more and figure out what was going on.

Madam Lin looked at Chu Nianyi's hesitant appearance and understood in his heart. The smile on his lips also became gentle, "Nianhe, when you meet the one you love, you will be willing to give your all for him."

Give up everything, even your own life?

Chu Nianhe's chest was once again burning with anger. She suddenly stood up, ignoring the shocked expression on her face, blessed herself slightly, and walked out of the room.

It was already the middle of the night after having caused such a ruckus for the most part of the day. Chu Nianhe walked slowly into the manor. Xiaochan, who was by her side, seemed to have noticed her thoughts, and silently accompanied her back to the courtyard.

It was as if the depths of the dungeon could not be seen.

Chu Nianhe walked barefoot on the damp and sticky ground. She was a little scared, and she really wanted to turn back and leave this dark and rotten place. However, something seemed to be calling her from the front.

She endured the uncomfortable feeling and walked step by step towards the voice.

Something seemed to have kicked her foot. She looked down and saw that it was a person's head!

Chu Nianhe almost screamed out. Isn't that Yan Liqing's face?

Her heart clenched in pain as she knelt on the ground and hugged the head tightly.

Liqing, don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. she whispered, trying to catch another glimpse of his face.

Who would have thought that it would actually turn into Yan Lichen's appearance!

The familiar lips were still smiling, spookily saying the love words he was good at.

A Liang, help me ascend to the throne, then we can be together in the open.

A Liang, I will make you my queen...

"Ah!" Chu Nianhe shouted as she woke up soaked in sweat.

Xiaochan ran over when she heard the sound. When she saw Chu Nianhe's pale face with her hair sticking to it, she asked worriedly, "First Miss, what's wrong?"

He carefully observed his master's expression and said, "Master has invited Seventh Belo to the banquet today. Young miss, you should get up quickly."

Chu Nianhe glanced at Xiaochan. "What is he doing here?"

Xiaochan was a little confused by Master's attitude, but she still replied honestly, "Miss, you forgot that when you fell into the water, it was Seven Belle who saved you from the pond. Today, Master personally arranged a feast to thank you."

Heh, Yan Lichen, you actually delivered yourself to us so quickly.

Seventh Prince and Yan Lichen had already been sitting in the lobby for two hours. Chu Pingke, who was beside him, had chatted with him until his mouth was dry. Even after several rounds of tea, Chu Nianhe still hadn't arrived.

"Noble Master …" Chu Pingke smiled awkwardly, "My daughter really doesn't know etiquette. Please don't take it to heart, Noble Master."

"Sitting down is really boring," Yan Lichen didn't seem displeased on the surface: "I heard that the Prime Minister's garden is very special, I'll go take a look first."

Saying that, he walked out the door.

Yan Lichen walked around the carefully carved fake mountain, and somehow walked to the side of Prime Minister's Mansion's pond.

From afar, a graceful figure entered his line of sight. Her long hair that was like a waterfall hung down to her waist, and her slender jade-like hands brushed past her ears, adding to her feminine charm.

Isn't that the big miss of Chu Family?

Heh, he had been reluctant to come, but now he had the time to stay here!

Yan Lichen raised his eyebrows and walked forward a few steps. "Esteemed Miss Chu, why are you at the pond again? It's better to be careful."

Chu Nianhe suddenly felt a wave of disgust in her chest when she heard his voice. She didn't even bother to turn her head and just said lightly: "What does Noble Master mean? "Could it be that you are pursuing me relentlessly and hope that I can thank you for saving my life?"

Yan Lichen didn't expect Chu Nianhe to have such an attitude and was slightly annoyed for a moment.

Chu Nianhe suddenly turned around and looked at him with a cute and adorable smile, "Noble Master, was I the one who fell here that day?"

Saying that, she waved at him.

Yan Lichen was used to seeing girls from noble families with strict manners. When had he ever met such a quick-witted girl? Especially Chu Nianhe, who was born to be beautiful. Her smile almost melted the cold intent of autumn.

Yan Lichen originally wanted to use this matter to establish a relationship with Prime Minister's Mansion. Since Chu Nianhe had come to his doorstep, there was no reason not to accept.

The corner of his mouth curled into a demonic smile. As he walked towards Chu Nianhe, he said, "Esteemed Miss Chu need not be afraid of the past. I will always take care of you."

Protect yourself at all times?

Chu Nianhe sneered in her heart as she quietly opened the lid of a small gourd in her hand. A strange fragrance slowly drifted out.

She had sent someone to secretly find this spice long ago. As long as they were able to smell it for just a little bit, they would be able to lose consciousness and even have a short period of memories. She had already taken the antidote, so she could only smell the fragrance, but it would not affect her mental state.

Before Yan Lichen even got in front of her, he felt dizzy and then suddenly collapsed!

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Nianhe signaled to Xiaochan, who was looking at them nervously from afar. Then, he pulled Yan Lichen's arm, lifted him up forcefully, and threw Yan Lichen into the pond! Seeing Yan Lichen struggling in the water, Chu Nianhe revealed a happy smile.

Don't you like to design and save people? Today, I'll let you have a taste of being saved!

Seeing Yan Lichen slowly sinking into the water, Chu Nianhe thought Xiaochan would probably call someone over soon, so she headed towards the other direction of the pond.

Very soon, Xiaochan's exaggerated yells came from the fake mountain. A few of the servants accepted the order and rushed to the pond. They quickly went into the water to rescue Yan Lichen, who was paralyzed all over.

Yan Lichen was filled with water, and a group of Maid servants carried him to a nearby warm room in a fluster. Everyone was discussing in front of the door. This was a prince, and now that he had fallen into the water of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even the Prime Minister would not be able to escape.

Chu Nianhe saw that the doctor in the house had come to treat him, so she pretended to be in a hurry and walked towards the Warm Pavilion.
