C17 Gratitude for Saving Lives

After hearing the butler's report, Chao Shan was also very dissatisfied with Doctor Liu's actions. He straightforwardly sent a medicine woman to take care of Luo Qingchen's body.

On the other side, Du Yuchu was currently throwing a tantrum at Doctor Liu.

"You can't even deal with a little girl, yet you're being chased out just like that? What's the use of wanting you?"

Looking into Du Yuchu's sharp eyes, Doctor Liu did not even dare to breathe as he knelt on the ground. He kept begging for mercy, hoping that Du Yu would let him off the hook for the sake of his past actions, or let him take credit for it.

Having witnessed Du Yuchu's methods to deal with his servants, Doctor Liu didn't want to become the household's new vengeful spirit no matter what.

"Useless thing!" Du Yu Chu rubbed his forehead tiredly, still furious.

"Mother ~" Luo Shuya walked out at an unknown time, squinting her eyes as she sized up Doctor Liu. She massaged Du Yuchu's shoulders, shaking her body coquettishly as she lay down on her back.

Du Yuchu's expression immediately softened. He patted her hand and softly said, "Don't worry. Tomorrow is a good opportunity. Mother has a way to make your wish come true."

After saying that, she lowered her head to look at Doctor Liu, who was still trembling in fear. "What happened to the medicine I told you to prepare?"

Doctor Liu looked even more terrified. "It's already …" Now... "It's going to be ready soon."

"If you can't bring the medicine over in the morning, find yourself a rope to hang yourself!"

"Yes, Madam. I understand."

At the same time, she called for Xiang He.

"You are the Fragrant Lotus?"

Du Yuzhu squinted at Xiang He, but didn't see anything special about her. She thought, "Is it really just because Luo Qing Cen wants her to look good?"

Even though everything in front of her showed that this was the truth, Du Yuchu still felt a strong sense of disharmony, as if she had overlooked something very important.

Thus, even though she didn't feel the need to, Du Yuchu still habitually asked a lot of things about the fragrant lotus, making it useful for her just as she had done countless times before.

Besides, she was the matriarch of this family, so who would dare to defy her?

In the end, Xiang He still agreed to her words. She then lowered her head and walked into Aunt Luo's courtyard dejectedly.

Luo Qingchen was waiting for her in the room.

"Fourth Miss …" There were tears in Xiang He's eyes. When she saw Luo Qingchen, she immediately knelt down, not daring to meet her gaze.

"Did you just go to see Madam?" Luo Qingchen asked unhurriedly.

Xiang He was astonished. "Fourth Miss, how did you know?"

Luo Qing Cen shook her head, "I guessed."

When she asked for the incense in front of the butler, she had already guessed what the situation would be like.

If she had gotten what Aunt Luo had given her earlier, perhaps she would have tried a safer method. At that time, she had been forced to take the risk and take this gamble.

Luo Qingchen reached out to help her up, then asked worriedly, "Then what do you plan to do?"

"I …" Xiang He was at a loss. She didn't even blink as she looked at Luo Qingchen, yet she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Luo Qingchen didn't want to listen to her words right now, "You know about my situation in the mansion, and I originally wanted you to do you a big favor for me and my brother in the afternoon. I thought it should be reliable, but I didn't expect to pull you into this whirlpool. "Speaking of which, I should be apologizing to you."

She was silent as if she were about to cry.

"Fourth Miss, don't say that." Xiang He hastily shook her head and waved it off. "I helped Fourth Young Miss voluntarily and willingly. Fourth Miss might have already forgotten that you and Third Young Master accidentally saved a drowning child a few years ago."

Xiang He looked hopefully at Luo Qingchen. "That child is my younger brother. If it wasn't for Fourth Young Miss and Third Young Master, my younger brother would have probably died in the garden by now."

Was there such a thing? Luo Qingchen was astonished. She really had no impression of him at all.

Actually, it wasn't just this matter. Her memories from before she was ten years old had always been blurry, even if there were some that others would never be able to forget.

"I really don't remember. Are you sure you didn't remember wrong? Were you really saved by me and my brother?"

Xiang He kowtowed again and again, "How can I remember such a great favor for saving a life? Not only me, but my parents and brother also remember this, but they have never found the opportunity to repay Third Young Master and Fourth Miss. "

"Is that why you came to report in the afternoon?" Luo Qingcheng suddenly understood. If that was the case, it was still reasonable.

"Yes sir!" Xiang He's expression had already hardened. "Fourth Miss, I came here to repay the debt of gratitude. Although I promised my wife, I never thought of betraying Fourth Miss." Fourth Miss doesn't know how happy my family and I were when I heard from the housekeeper that you wanted me. "

"Then... Will you tell me what your wife told you? What exactly does she want you to do? "

Xiang He nodded without hesitation.

Early the next morning, Aunt Luo took her clothes and knocked on the door of Luo Qingchen's room with her maidservants.

Luo Qingchen struggled to get up from the bed, but his mind was still in a daze.

"Third Madame, leave these to this servant."

Xiang He helped Luo Qing up, then she took the clothes from Aunt Luo and put them on her.

She wore a blue dress with a white hem and a small jacket of the same color. She didn't look too outstanding nor did she lose her identity as a young lady. It was indeed suitable for today's occasion.

"I was thinking, what if the aunt really wanted to dress me up as a country girl?" Luo Qingchen was very satisfied, but at the same time, he was even more certain of his opinion of Aunt Luo.

If Aunt Luo had only wanted to avoid Guan Shaoning and instead tell her to pretend to be ugly, that would have been a grave mistake.

Luo Qingchen carefully touched the clothes on his body. They were indeed the kind of ordinary clothes that could be worn by an ordinary person's family, even if they were slightly better off — such a concealed mark was not a deliberate expression of their intentions, but at the same time, it guaranteed that people like Guan Shaoning would be able to see through the difference.

Luo Qingchen had made up his mind yesterday, agreeing to accompany Guan Shaoning out.

"Then I'll have to trouble Aunt to help me comb a nice bun." Luo Qingchen puckered his lips into a smile towards Aunt Luo, and they both revealed a knowing smile.

As the saying goes, one does not have to show off often. One only had to know what others wanted and then go the other way.
