C6 Enemy Relative

Before they reached the door of the pavilion, Chu Nianhe saw Chu Pingke leading the doctor of the house towards them with an anxious look on his face. He was muttering something as he walked, with a panicked expression on his face.

Chu Nianhe didn't hesitate to enter the pavilion first and walked hurriedly towards Yan Lichen's bedside.

When the servants and Maid saw this, they all stepped back. Only Xiaochan stepped forward and said with a slightly lost expression, "Young Miss, you've been feeling unwell since you woke up. Why are you up again?"

Then, she purposely shouted towards Chu Nianhe behind her, "This servant follows your order to find Noble Master to apologize, but I saw Noble Master standing by the pond alone. His feet slipped and he fell off the pond, it's really scary."

These words were naturally meant for Chu Pingke. Chu Nianhe nodded slightly towards Xiaochan, then looked towards Yan Lichen, who was lying on the bed.

He still seemed to be in a coma, his face pale and his lips blue. His normally straight and straight back was now bent, and he looked extremely weak. His carefully groomed hair was disheveled, and a few strands stuck to his forehead, making him look extremely disheveled.

Chu Nianhe calmly suppressed the joy in her heart. With a worried look, she wiped the corner of her eyes and said to her father behind her, "Father, how could this happen? It's all my daughter's fault. If I had tolerated the discomfort, Noble Master wouldn't have suffered so much."

Although Chu Pingke was very upset, he couldn't bear his daughter's self-reproach. He patted her on the shoulder and said: "Noble Master Ji has the will of the heavens, let's just wait for him to wake up first."

The doctor at the side took his pulse, saying only that Yan Lichen's heart was cold. Although he hadn't woken up yet, his life wasn't in danger. Then, he quickly sent someone to boil a bowl of thick ginger soup and helped Yan Lichen drink it.

Chu Nianhe looked at Yan Lichen's appearance as if he had been fed ginger soup. She just wished that Yan Lichen wasn't a deadly drug that could poison the heart and lungs. She wished that Yan Lichen would die immediately! It was just that he had exhausted his identity as Prime Minister's Mansion's daughter. If Yan Lichen died just like that, his entire family would probably be in trouble.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a woman shout: "Noble Master has opened his eyes!"

Chu Pingke was overjoyed and quickly pushed the group of Lili to Yan Lichen's bedside. He pleaded to Yan Lichen with an ashamed face, "It's all my fault that I failed to find out and sent someone to follow Noble Master! Please forgive me, Noble Master! "

Yan Lichen, who was on the bed, felt a splitting headache, as if someone had hit him. When he sat up and pressed his forehead, he realized that his clothes were all wet and stuck to his body.

It was then that he remembered that he had fallen into a pond, almost drowning! Who didn't know that he, Yan Lichen, had been familiar with the water since he was young? How could he not save himself when he fell into the water for no reason at all? How strange!

Chu Nianhe took in all of his doubts and vexation. She calmly took two steps forward and said with a sad tone, "Noble Master, are you feeling better?"

The first thing that entered his sight was Chu Nianhe, who was dressed in a white dress. Her face was covered in a bit of makeup, and she looked very pure. Her long black hair fell down, making her skin look more creamy, and she just stood there gracefully, like a fairy in a painting. Yan Lichen couldn't help but be shocked.

Chu Nianhe looked into his eyes and felt a dense cloud of foul air on her chest. She couldn't help but want to vomit.

"Noble Master, how did you fall into the water?"

She emphasized the word "stumble" and purposely guided Yan Lichen so that he would remember that he had accidentally fallen into the water and had nothing to do with anyone else.

Yan Lichen realized that he had lost his composure. Before he could think about it further, he followed Chu Nianhe's suggestion. "It's my fault."

Chu Nianhe blinked her intelligent eyes, and without giving him any chance to go back on her words, she immediately said: "Even so, it's just that our Prime Minister's Mansion is too weak to take care of him. Noble Master's body has not fully recovered yet, why not stay in the mansion for two days of rest before returning to the palace?"

Hearing that this young miss Chu Family wanted to keep him, Yan Lichen felt a burst of joy in his heart. He had wanted to obtain the support of Prime Minister's Mansion from the imperial government for a long time, but he did not know where to start, and thus did not make a move. It was a good opportunity for him to approach the Prime Minister. If he could marry the daughter of his first wife …

Although Yan Lichen still couldn't figure out why he fell into the water, he pretended to be calm on the surface and said, "Since First Miss is so kind, I can't refuse. I'll do as you say."

Chu Pingke was very happy to see his daughter dissolve the awkward situation with a few words. He quickly instructed Maid to help Yan Lichen wash up and change his clothes while he himself went to the kitchen to arrange dinner.

It was late afternoon by the time Chu Nianhe returned to the yard, exhausted. She wanted to sleep in her bed, but a figure flashed through the side door. It was too dark for either her or Xiaochan to see who it was.

Xiaochan was shocked. She thought it was some ignorant brute using Maid's words, and scolded loudly, "Which one of those ignorant brats sneaked to the side to scare us?! "If you don't tell me the reason, we will immediately kick you out of the house!"

That person took a step forward and said in a fawning tone, "Sister Chu, it's me!"

Chu Nianhe looked carefully and realized that the person in front of her was Shen Xiangyun. Having been disgusted by Yan Lichen for the whole day, she didn't want to continue being disgusted anymore, so she said lightly: "What are you doing here?"

Shen Xiangyun was used to working as a lowly servant in the mansion, so she didn't care about Chu Nianhe's cold attitude. She took her arm and said affectionately, "Sister Chu, I've been waiting for you here for the whole day, where did you go?"

Chu Nianhe calmly brushed her hand away and said, "Seventh Prince fell into the water at our residence. I just went to visit him."

"Noble Master?!" Shen Xiangyun's eyes immediately lit up. "How did he fall into the water? Is he still in the Palace? "

Chu Nianhe listened to Shen Xiangyun's questions one after another and knew that she was trying to climb onto Yan Lichen, so she didn't hide anything. She stared into Shen Xiangyun's eyes and said, "Now he's living in a warm house by the pond. I heard he's going to stay in the mansion for a few days!"

Shen Xiangyun rolled her eyes and said, "Sister Chu, I've already been out for a day. If I'm late, mother will blame me."

With that, he turned to Chu Nianhe and blessed her. Then, he turned around and left.

Xiaochan, who was at the side, watched Shen Xiangyun's back as she hurried off and said in a somewhat disgusted tone, "I thought she had come for some important reason. It seems that she really has a muddled mind."

Was Shen Xiangyun's mind not clear? Chu Nianhe smiled slightly. Judging from the memories of her previous life, there was probably no one who was more clear-headed and unscrupulous.

"Xiaoling, follow Miss Shen. See where she went." Chu Nianhe narrowed her eyes and instructed Maid, who was standing beside her.
