  Chapter 12: The Cost of the Chapter (12 points)

  Liu Su looked at Zhu Yuhuan's pale face, but his hands seemed to have some scars. She took his hand and examined it carefully, and was shocked to see that his palms were rotten! Lan Zixu was about to grab Zhu Yuhuan's hand when she also saw the wound on his hand and let out a sharp cry!

  Liu Luo Su hastily called out to the servant sitting outside: "Quickly go find a doctor! Master... is badly injured!"

  The man quickly agreed and said something to the driver, then jumped off the car to find a doctor.

  Zhu Yuhuan returned to Qingci Hutong, and the servant put him on a warm and soft bed. Liu Luosu took off his wet long gown, and his inner clothes were also wet. Liu Luosu wanted to take them off too, but Lan Zixu stopped her, muttering that she didn't need to strip him completely naked.

  Liu Su felt a bit strange and looked at him, saying "Your clothes are wet, lying down like this will still be cold."

  Lan Zhi was very unhappy, but she felt that what the other said made some sense. She could only pout and watch as the woman took off Zhu Yuhuan's undergarments as well. Fortunately, his undershirt remained on, and he covered himself with the quilt.

  Lan Zhi let out a sigh of relief beside him, hastily sitting down on the edge of the bed and staring intently at him, lest he didn't notice when this person started groping Zhu Yuhuan's body again.

  Willow fell on Su Ma's upper floor to prepare the brazier, and found two hand warmers in the house, re-filled with charcoal, stuffed them into Zhu Yuhuan's quilt, and went to burn the brazier. The little maid followed her busy behind.

  The doctor came quickly, took a look at the wound on his hand and confirmed it was a burn. He applied some medicine, then stripped Zhu Yuhuan's clothes off to examine the burns on his body. Fortunately, they weren't too severe, and he applied medicine to all the affected areas. He instructed them to cover him with blankets to keep warm, as although he had scalds, the cold was more serious. Luckily, his internal organs were fine, it was just superficial frostbite on the skin. The doctor then prescribed a medicinal soup and left.

  Lan Zhi followed up with another busy day, the doctor said that the burn medicine needs to be changed every two days, she remembered it and when it was time to change the dressing again, she must not let this opportunity slip away from Zhu Yuhuan!

  The servant went to buy medicine, Liu Su was in the kitchen boiling water and opened the stove to prepare the medicine. Lan Zhi was busy and had broken out in a sweat, sitting on the warm bed, holding Zhu Yuheng's hand wrapped in white gauze, feeling wave after wave of drowsiness, finally unable to hold on, fell asleep beside him, sleeping and sleeping, feeling cold, then snuggled into the quilt, his feet stepping on a foot warmer, his hands embracing one of Zhu Yuheng's arms, very contentedly falling asleep.

  When Liu dropped the medicine that Su had carefully prepared, she saw Lan Xi leaning against Zhu Yi Huan's side, sleeping soundly. The fat maid was also asleep, lying crooked on the kang.

  Liu Luo didn't know the relationship between Su and Zhu Ye Huan, nor did she even know what Zhu Ye Huan's identity was! Although it was a bit strange, she naturally wouldn't separate them. Instead, she covered the little fat maid with a quilt, blew out the lights in the room, and left.

  ……

  On this day, Chu Ke and Old Master Chu had an especially miserable time!

  Zhu Yichen's side was very tense, and he didn't wake up all night. By the morning, the two Fu ladies who lived in the mansion had arrived, but they couldn't wait for the groom to come pick them up either. Chu Keqi could only find a servant to go tell them on Zhu Yichen's behalf, asking them to please wait first, as he had some urgent matters to attend to on this side.

  The two Mrs. Fu did not suspect anything and bid farewell to the people in the mansion with a smile, while others in the mansion were still preparing for the wedding ten days later.

  Zhu Yichan woke up, very weak, but indeed awake. As soon as he woke up, he looked around and saw Chu Keqi sitting on the edge of the bed. He stretched out his hand to pull hers, giving Chu Keqi a fright! Seeing him open his eyes with a smile, Chu Keqi's tears of excitement flowed down, and she hastily leaned in to ask, "Second Brother, how are you feeling? Is your body still hurting?"

  Zhu Yichan smiled and shook his head, his voice a little hoarse as he said it didn't hurt...

  Chu Ke hurriedly turned her head and called for Ya Niang to heat up the medicine that had been simmered.

  Zhu Yuheng looked around and immediately asked, "Where is this? Huan... Is Huan okay? Hurry up and send someone to take a look... It seems like an arson attack..."

  Chu Ke shook her head and said softly, "It's nothing... just focus on taking care of your body."

  "Is he okay? It's good if nothing's wrong..." Zhu Yichen let out a weak sigh of relief and smiled, closing his eyes for a moment before opening them again to ask Chu Kejie, "Kejie... where is this?"

  "My house."

  Zhu Yichan was startled and hastily said: "At home..."

  Chu Kei hastily leaned close to his side and whispered, "I've already told the old master... can't not say, last night was like that... no explanation."

  "Grandpa...?"

  Chu Ke nodded.

  Zhu Yichan didn't seem to be in high spirits and asked faintly, nodding his head. Suddenly he stared at her and asked, "Did you come last night?"

  Chu Ke was worried and hastily said, "Later, Zhu Yuxuan just left! He had no choice but to leave, calling those people away. One of my wives followed me, she put down the burden, don't worry, no one... touched."

  Zhu Yichan nodded slightly, but his face turned somewhat uncomfortable, and he turned away, closing his eyes.

  Chu Xue gently leaned her head on his shoulder and whispered, "Yuan Chen, our marriage... I don't want to drag it out, I just want to get married on the 29th... will you marry me?"

  Zhu Yichen originally bit his lip and turned his face inward, listening to her say this, for a long time, then quietly opened his eyes and turned his head, looking at her very close face.

  "Ying Chen, marry me? If it's not the right time, come by horse carriage later? Not a single word less." Chu Ke asked again.

  Zhu Yichan slightly shook his head "I... will definitely ride a horse to come and marry... what did you tell my family?"

  "It was when the two Fu ladies were leaving that I said there were some things to attend to...I reckon Consort Shu can wait for a day, but if she has to wait for two days, she'll get anxious."

  Zhu Yichan nodded, "Alright... no need to hide it from her, send someone to inform her and she'll definitely come. At that time... I'll be waiting here, and on that day... I'll ride a horse to take her away as my wife. Alright?"

  Chu Ke smiled and nodded in agreement.

  After taking the medicine, Zhu Yichen slept weakly.

  ……

  The old master Chu sent a guard from the mansion to report that there was a big fire on Sanmiao Street last night! Now the officials are searching through the ruins to see if anyone died in the fire.

  The old man was so shocked that he immediately softened. This day, he seemed to be in a dream, suddenly having a dear grandson, while his grandson turned into an unscrupulous rascal!

  Chu Xue's face turned pale and she almost fainted!

  At this time, news came again that a body was found at the scene of the fire by the government!

  Chu Lao Ye Zi really fainted, now, his grandson killed his own son!

  The news reached Chu Ke'er, but she couldn't believe it! Now that there was concrete news, she couldn't accept it. Her brother had been well-prepared before he left, could he have been burned to death? Absolutely impossible!

  She ordered the servants to go and ask around, the more detailed the better, even if they could find out whether the one who was burned to death was a man or a woman, how tall... these were the best! This way it would be proven that the dead person wasn't her brother!

  At night, there was still no news, and the things she had asked about were not easy to find out.

  On the bed, Zhu Yichen was still asleep, while Chu Ke'er cried sadly for a long time, almost to death...

  ……

  Zhu Yuhuan felt extremely hot, as if he was stuck to a stove. He tried with all his might to push the stove away, but it seemed to be stuck to him and wouldn't budge. In desperation, he shouted loudly: "It's so hot! Let me go!"

  The stove is like a person: don't let go! Just won't let go! Stick together forever!

  Zhu Yuhuan was shocked and frightened! And this voice, tone! It's exactly like that little girl Lan Qicong! He was so startled that he broke out in a cold sweat, and was suddenly awakened from his dream!

  As soon as he woke up, he felt aching all over his body, and then the heat. He turned his head to look around, and when he turned his head, he saw Lan Zhi's face right next to him, her eyes closed in sleep, her face pressed against his shoulder, hugging his arm, with a slight smile on her lips, as if she was having a sweet dream.

  "This is no small shock! Scared me almost jumping out of bed! What's going on?! Hasn't he woken up from his dream yet?!"

  As soon as he moved, Lan Zhi, who was asleep, had already sensed it. She frowned slightly, pouted her mouth, and rubbed her face against his shoulder like a little dog, feeling that it was still reliable. Only then did she smile contentedly and continue sleeping.

  Her eyes were always closed, with long eyelashes covering her eyelids. Zhu Yuhuan was involuntarily drawn to her eyelashes, which were slender, curved, dense and black, extremely beautiful. Zhu Yuhuan stared at them for a while, suddenly feeling that his heartbeat was different...

  He panicked for a moment and thought: No way! Actually... moved by a little girl?!

  He didn't dare to think about it, he must be hallucinating! It... hurts! He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and shouted while stretching his waist: Ah, I slept well! Get up, wake up, wake up!" He stretched out his finger and poked the forehead of Lan Zhi's silk fabric once, twice...

  Lan Zhi was poked awake, and she unwillingly opened her eyes, still dazed and confused. She mumbled, "People are still sleeping... why wake them up?" Then she closed her eyes again.

  Zhu Yuhuan stopped moving, looking at her.

  Her eyelids, which had been closed, suddenly quivered and opened wide. She stared at him, so shocked that she couldn't speak a word!

  "Zhu Yuhuan nodded, finally awake." He immediately clarified that it wasn't him! I didn't do anything! Woke up and was just beside... Besides, yesterday I, I seemed... strange! I should have been in a very dangerous place, will... uh, on the bed?"

  Lan Zhi Yun quickly got up and hastily retreated backwards, almost falling off the bed! (If you like this work, welcome to subscribe and reward on Starting Point website, your support is my greatest motivation.)
