So, they’re still not going to let him off the hook!

Well, if it’s inevitable tomorrow morning, it’s inevitable tomorrow morning. At least he has tonight to think about how to get out of this lie. It’s slightly better than being pushed onto the execution platform right now.

Fan Wenxuan’s lips twitch slightly as he stands up, flinging his sleeves in frustration.

Chu Jinnian yawns, rubbing his tired eyes and setting aside the book he was reading.

After several days of rush, he’s quite tired.

But before sleeping, he feels uneasy if he doesn’t check on Zhuang Qingning who is still unconscious.

Chu Jinnian casually puts on a coat.

However, he turns back just as he steps out of the room.

Fan Wenxuan’s words had indeed reminded him that even if he cared and kept thinking about it, he needs to be aware of propriety. Otherwise, he would not only be worse than a beast to himself, but Zhuang Qingning might also say something even harsher.

Chu Jinnian returns to the room, sends people to inquire about Zhuang Qingning’s condition. Once he learns that her condition is not serious and she is just sleeping as usual, he finally feels relieved and goes to bed.

The morning light is dim, birdsong pleasing to the ear.

Zhuang Qingning regains consciousness slowly, awake at last.

However, her eyelids are heavy, laborious to lift. Her head feels as if it weighs a thousand pounds, making her extremely uncomfortable with just a slight sway.

Zhuang Qingning instinctively lifts her hand to her forehead, wanting to ease her discomfort by rubbing her temples.

However, she seems to have lifted something, which blinds her instantly.

What is this thing!

Zhuang Qingning struggles to remove whatever is covering her head and sits up in the process.

It looks like a piece of clothing.

And it seems to be men’s clothing.

But why is there men’s clothing here?

And where exactly is here…

Zhuang Qingning looks at the unfamiliar surroundings, her heart sinking.

Could it be… she has time-travelled again?

[Pfft, host, you’re overthinking.]

[In case of another time-cross, for a living body like the host who has been through the system, you should report to the system management bureau and get assigned a location. It would not be this quiet.]

That’s a relief then.

Zhuang Qingning breathes a sigh of relief.

At least she doesn’t need to bid farewell to the people in this world, the people who she doesn’t want to part with.

But, where is she now, and how did she get here?

[Well, host, why don’t you think back carefully?]

Think back?

Zhuang Qingning tilts her head thoughtfully.

Yes, last night, she was fighting with those two thieves, her life hanging by a thread. At the most critical moment, she seemed to have executed a special move, which was interrupted by a man who appeared to rescue her from the knives of the thieves. After that, she felt dizzy and clung to the man’s sleeve who rescued her…

In conclusion, she seems to have been brought here by the man who saved her. After she fainted, she still clung to his sleeve so he had to take off his coat. That’s why there is a man’s coat next to her hand…

This…

This is embarrassing!

Zhuang Qingning imagines the helpless look on the man’s face when he couldn’t pull away and had to leave his coat behind last night, and she feels like burying herself.

While Zhuang Qingning is contemplating how to thank her savior and apologize, the door is suddenly opened.

A round-faced person with double topknots, dressed like a maid walks in. The maid is delighted when she sees that Zhuang Qingning is awake, “Miss Zhuang, you’re awake! That’s wonderful.”

“Hurry, go tell the young master that Miss Zhuang has awakened. Go now.”

Last night, Chu Jinnian had repeatedly sent people to inquire about Miss Zhuang’s condition. Gancao naturally understood the importance of this matter and knew that she should report the good news right away.

After ordering the people around, Gancao briskly walks towards Zhuang Qingning and greets her, “Does anything feel uncomfortable, Miss? Are you hungry? You’ve been sleeping all night, you must be thirsty by now. I’ve prepared some warm water, please drink a few sips.”

Gancao hands over a cup of tea as she speaks.

In the summer heat and having slept for so long, Zhuang Qingning indeed feels thirsty and she quickly drains the cup.

Gancao serves her anew.

After drinking three cups, Zhuang Qingning finally sets down the cup, “Thank you…”

Zhuang Qingning had the intention of expressing thanks, but suddenly realized that she didn’t even know the other party’s name. She gives an apologetic smile.

“My name is Gancao, I am a maid here. Miss Zhuang, just call me ‘Gancao’.” Gancao smiles.

With her round face and dimples, she looks quite lovable.

“Thank you, Miss Gancao.” Zhuang Qingning replies with a smile.

Miss Zhuang is being too polite. Since you’re our Young Master’s guest, I should naturally take care of you. Gancao collects the teacup, “You must be hungry, Miss, I’ll go arrange some food. Is there anything you can’t eat?”

“You don’t have to go to the trouble, Miss Gancao,” Zhuang Qingning responds, “I just need some water to tidy up and then I would like to thank your master.”

“I just don’t know your master’s name…”

If she doesn’t even know whom to thank, the embarrassment might increase.

The first thing she does after waking up is to thank her savior and she knows to freshen up to show respect. This proves that she is very well-mannered.

“Our eldest master’s name is Chu Jinnian.” Gancao responses with a smile.

“Thank you for telling me, Miss Gancao.”

“Miss Zhuang, you’re being polite. Please wait for a moment. I’ll be back soon with the water and things for washing.”

After Gancao leaves the room to prepare the water and other necessary items for cleaning. When Gancao returns, Zhuang Qingning refreshes herself, tidies her hair, and stands up.

Gancao says, “We have already informed our young master that Miss Zhuang has awakened. Our young master is currently in the flower hall. Please follow me, Miss.”

“Thank you for leading the way, Miss Gancao.”

Zhuang Qingning follows Gancao, exiting the room and courtyard, and after a short walk along the corridor, they arrive at the flower hall. She finally sees the eldest master Chu Jinnian whom Gancao has been talking about, her savior.

Sword-shaped eyebrows, hawk-like eyes, distinguished demeanor, Zhuang Qingning can’t think of more adjectives right now. All she knows is that seeing the man before her, a line appears in her mind.

Precious stones are hidden in accumulated rocks, rows of pines resemble emerald. The man is extraordinarily handsome, the only one in the world.

The saying, “the person on the road is like jade, the son is unparalleled in the world,” probably refers to someone like him.

Indeed, the saying, “beautiful people with kind hearts,” is accurate.

Zhuang Qingning stops scrutinizing him, gives Master Chu a polite bow, “Master Chu, I was fortunate to be saved by you last night. I would not have lived to see today without your help. I came especially to express my gratitude. Thank you for saving my life, Master Chu.”

Master Chu?

Gancao is puzzled.

She didn’t seem to mention that her young master is an official. How does she know about it?

Chu Jinnian is also surprised. Seeing the confused look on Gancao’s face, he realizes that it was not Gancao who informed her beforehand.

So….
