Chapter 112 A Patient’s Visit at Midnight

When Qin Wanru returned to her place Zhifang Xuan, Nanny Yu had organized the room for her. Before that, knowing everyone had been tired, Qin Wanru had specially told Nanny Yu to inform all the servants of early sleep.

Nanny Yu and Yujie stood at the doorway, waiting for the return of Qin Wanru, who sent Qingyue to sleep and also asked Yujie to push Nanny Yu, who was unwilling to leave, to sleep. In the yard, she was inwardly thinking, “Lots of people have been brought, but the number is obviously not enough. Grandma is likely to buy some from the servant trader tomorrow, and then I can ask Nanny Yu to pick a few suitable ones from them.”

Qin Wanru was a newcomer in the capital, and it was impossible for Madam Di to expand her power that much.

But it would be impossible if the family bought servants next time because Madam Di could ask the wife of Duke Yong to help her after all. In her beforelife, the wife of Duke Yong had pushed others forward from behind many times.

There were so many things for her to do as a newcomer in the capital. After refusing Madama Di as her guide, she must work out ways to attend parties with Shui Ruolan as quickly as possible. Now, her appearance was still as small as a child. Although the rumors from Jiangzhou came in the future and Madam Di brought them to her secretly, the rumors would also be considered ridiculous and unbelievable by others because of her child-like appearance when she arrived in the capital.

But if she grew mature, it would not be easy for her to explain her situation!

Shui Ruolan had no relations in the capital, and she was also a remarried woman after being a widow. If she were not guided by others, she would not have the chance to receive invitations to parties. But she could get an opportunity from Qin Wanru. It seemed that she and her mother should visit the temple to burn incense once recently.

In the temple, there was a person who could take Shui Ruolan and herself to the circle of the noble families.

“Clap!” Qin Wanru, who was waiting for the return of Yujie under a tree, was hit by something from above. Looking upward, she saw nothing but the treetop under the dark heaven.

“Twigs fall in the winter, right?”

She lowered her hand in confusion with her hands holding it. Suddenly, she was hit by something from above once again. It was even harder than last time, so she gave out an “ouch” because of the pain. As she looked upward again to find it out, she suddenly heard a few giggles. Giving a sidelong glance, she saw a shadow sitting on the sidewall of the yard.

Unexpectedly, it was Chu Liuchen.

Qin Wanru held her head, blinking her eyes. In the lamplight, a porcelain doll’s tender face was covered with perplexity, and it seemed that she hadn’t realized what had happened.

But she hadn’t expected this Childe to appear on the wall of her family.

Was it really suitable for an unhealthy young man like him to climb over walls or climb trees? She slightly skewed her head, looking at his face color with the help of some dim light. She didn’t think his face color was healthy!

Out of the room of Nanny Yu, Yujie saw what had happened. After a moment of being stunned, she kept alert as she went to her with a worried face. Qin Wanru gently pressed back her hand to signal to her to remain calm and take no action.

Chu Liuchen jumped down the tree and squarely and arrogantly walked to Qin Wanru, studying her from head to foot while playing several stones in his hand. No doubt, the stones that hit her head just now were among them. In the lamplight, the color of his face was not well indeed, and his lips were as pale as his face. He looked not vigorous, either, but his eyes were interestedly staring at Qing Wanru.

“Prince, don’t you feel tired to climb this wall with your unwell physical condition?” Qin Wanru looked upward at the tall wall, which was obviously much taller than the walls in Jiangzhou. A wall of this kind was truly the one that could be used for the aim of defense.

“Tired!” Throwing the little stones in his hand to his side, Chu Liuchen suddenly fell down like one who lost his strength toward Qin Wanru, who hurriedly reached out her hands out of fear. Her little figure backed two steps, and she finally caught him. Fortunately, behind her, there was a tree, which supported her from behind.

Yujie wanted to go to her as her feet moved, but she was stopped by Qin Wanru. This prince was haughty, and who knew what he cared about. It was okay for her to support him.

“Prince, are you well now?” Qin Wanru whispered. She really needed to support him with much strength, but she couldn’t let go of him now. Just now, his condition was not obviously shown when she looked at him. Once they were close together, she could feel his high temperature. He was in fever now!

“I am not well!” he murmured in Qin Wanru’s ears. Chu Liuchen even closed his eyes at the moment, and the exhale of his nostrils, which was coming from him to her, was really hot.

Qin Wanru felt with her hand his forehead, which was extremely hot. At this time, she couldn’t care about too many manners, waving her hand to ask Yujie to come to her, and they supported him together as they moved him into the room.

After they let him lie on the bed in the room and raised his head with cushions, Qin Wanru instructed Yu Jie to fetch a basin of cold water, and then took out of a small bag of powdered medicine from her medicine bag after a moment of thinking. This powered medicine was the simple anti-cold powder that she had made herself. Its function was not comparable to the ones that were directly boiled, but it also had its effects at least.

The reason why she made the powder was that it was simple to use.

Poured some water into the medicine, and the smell of it came out. Then, a bowl of medicine was made!

After cooling it for a while, Qin Wanru carried it and sat on the edge of the bed, spooning it several times. The medicine soup was not dense, nor was it hot, and it should be good.

“Childe, please take the medicine!” Qin Wanru whispered.

On the bed, Chu Liuchen blinked and opened his eyes, looking at Qin Wanru. Surprisingly, he submissively took the bowl and drank the medicine up in a gulp, and then he put the bowl into her hands, very naturally demanding, “Candied fruit!”

He merely opened his mouth just as he finished his words.

The handsome young man shut eyes tight, the wavy shadow of his eyelashes under his eyelids being in fact very beautiful. Unfortunately, he merely opened his mouth, which really made his beholders generate a kind of strange feeling. Was this man really the Chu Liuchen who finally succeeded in becoming the crowned prince once again?

Befuddled, Qin Wanru looked at him, but she couldn’t think of a place where there was candied fruit. Yujie who entered while carrying a basin of water reminded her, “Miss, isn’t there a jar of candied fruit which had been used by Old Grandma on the way in your place? Let me fetch it for you!”

Qin Wanru nodded as she stood up to place the bowl on the table. Then, she took out a clean towel, soaked it in the cold water, and spread it on the forehead of Chu Liuchen.

Yujie came in with a jar of candied fruit. Qin Wanru carefully picked one and put it into the mouth of Chu Liuchen, who chewed it several times, showing that he was seemingly very satisfied. His head skewed to one side, and he quietly fell asleep while the towel was dangling down his forehead.

“Miss, this…” Yu Jie hadn’t found out what was going on even until now and became shocked as she saw the young man quietly and truly fall asleep.

“Yujie, everything is done. You can go to bed!” Qin Wanru yawned, whispering. Fortunately, she had slept in the afternoon.

“Miss, I don’t go to bed, for I need to accompany you!” She would be worried if she left Qin Wanru alone in the room.

“It doesn’t matter. This is Prince Chen of the capital. I know him. You are also tired today. Go to bed now, and there are still lots of things to do tomorrow!” Qin Wanru said, waving her hand.

Indeed, there were lots of things to do tomorrow. She was but a newcomer in the capital. If she didn’t make arrangements quickly, she would face awkward conditions in the future because of the pressure from Madam Di.

“Miss, I sleep outside the room. You can call me if you need help!” Yujie thought about it and decided that she should sleep outside the room to be her company. Otherwise, she would not leave her.

Learning that she was determined, Qin Wanru had to nod yes.

Yujie retired to the outside after pouring her another cup of tea. Closing the door behind her, she was still worried and dared not go to sleep, and then she directly sat down at the door, leaning against the door frame and shutting her eyes.

Qin Wanru didn’t know that Yujie hadn’t gone to sleep yet, but she herself was also a little tired at this moment. After sitting at the table for a while, she bent her back, stuck her forehead on the table, and also fell asleep in a few moments.

Since she moved fast on the road, she was also in fact very tired. Although she had slept in the afternoon, she had not recovered because of the tiredness caused by her fast move on the road. Her last strength was finally spent after busying herself with the work just now, and now she fell asleep on the table without realizing it.

After sleeping for some time, Qin Wanru woke up and sat up. Her long feather-like eyelashes fluttered twice, and then she opened her eyes, dazedly staring at the pair of handsome and elegant eyes in front of her. She lost herself for a moment and even generated the feeling that she didn’t know where she was.

That pair of eyes was very beautiful and also very clean, and its cleanness would never make their beholders suspect that the person lying here had any evil ideas. Qin Wanru reclosed her eyes. Her head heavily fell again, and she was ready to continue to sleep.

Unfortunately, her head didn’t fall on the table as it went down, but it fell on something soft. Feeling that something was not right, Qin Wanru reopened her eyes with difficulty, dazedly staring at the clothes that swarmed into her eyes. She realized that it was a man’s shoulder after a long time of confusion, and she was about to sleep on his shoulder.

Pushing the corner of her pink, tender lips forward, she raised up her head once again, seeing a juvenile coming out of a landscaping painting: His hair was very dark, his skin was very white, his nasal bridge was very tall, and his eyelashes were very long as if they were just in front of her eyes. She extended her hand to them almost subconsciously. But when she touched his warm face, she was stunned.

The long butterfly tail-like eyelashes fluttered twice, and he woke up!

“Prince, do you feel better now?” Qin Wanru sat up straight at once, calmed herself down, and turned to her side to look at his face, which was still pale but obviously looked much better than a while ago. She couldn’t help feeling relieved in her mind, for she was so afraid that he wouldn’t get well in her residence.

“I’m leaving!” Chu Liuchen lazily stood up and said after he massaged his shoulders. Surprisingly, he didn’t make any trouble for Qin Wanru this time.

“Prince, how can you leave at this time?” Qin Wanru shockingly looked from side to side and didn’t think there was any possibility for this Childe to walk out of the room by himself.

He was better but was not completely well, and she felt it just now when they conversed.

“Since I want to leave, I can leave!” Chun Liuchen rose his eyebrows, glimpsing Qin Wanru with somewhat evil air. He went to the window and randomly knocked on the crossbar of it with rhythm, and two guards in black suddenly appeared at the window out of nowhere.

“I am leaving now, but your yard has one disadvantage,” Chu Liuchen said unsatisfyingly as he squinted at Qin Wanru.

“What is it?” Qin Wanru widely opened her eyes and looked at him, and she was not surprised to see the guards appear outside the window.

“It lacks a big fish tank!” Chu Liucheng lazily said, “I will send you one tomorrow lest that you shouldn’t hide in it to see the sky!”

Once he finished, he reached out his hand to press the window edge and then lightly and gracefully landed outside the window, before Qin Wanru could speak anything. Then, he disappeared in the dark of the night with his two guards.

Qin Wanru was astonished with her mouth wide open, blinking with somewhat perplexity. When did she fall in love with fish tanks and must move a fish tank into her yard? Was what Chu Liuchen said sincere or did he mean something else?

She couldn’t figure it out for now…
