Chapter 562: Chapter 562, Neat and Tidy (12th Update)
“…”
Chu Yun’an was somewhat surprised.
He knew that the two things Xie Zhinuan had fed his elder brother were definitely invaluable.
They could not be measured in silver.
“Thank you, Miss Xie, I understand now!”
In any case, he could not let Xie Zhinuan think the Chu Family was ungrateful.
After escorting Xie Zhinuan to the guesthouse entrance, “Miss Xie, please rest early!”
“All right!”
Xie Zhinuan entered the guesthouse, and the maids immediately came up to her, preparing hot water for her to wash her face and feet, looking after her very attentively.
“Miss, I know how to give massages, would you like me to give you one?”
“…” Xie Zhinuan looked at the young girl and, seeing her cautious manner, nodded her head, “Yes, that would be nice!”
Xie Zhinuan sat on the bed’s edge, and the maid immediately began massaging her shoulders, with just the right amount of pressure, indeed making it very comfortable.
She had been sitting in the shop all day and then took a carriage ride here, she was truly tired.
This massage certainly made her feel much better.
“Miss, would you like to lie on the bed?”
“Yes!”
Xie Zhinuan lay down, and the maid was even more careful, not leaving until Xie Zhinuan, wearied, had fallen asleep, and then she covered her quietly with a quilt.
She turned to Chunyu and said, “Miss is asleep now; we will be next door, just call if you need anything, sister!”
“Mm, thank you!”
“No need to mention it!” The maid left the room and then quietly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
She had been abandoned by her family due to illness and picked up by the young master, becoming a maid in the household, where she found a place to call home.
But she never expected that wicked woman to be so malicious, going as far as to poison the young master, nearly costing him his life.
Thankfully, they met Miss Xie…
Now she could care for the young master’s lifesaver, and she certainly tended to her with all due attention.
In the middle of the night, Chu Yunping was in excruciating pain again, and he had to go to the privy again, expelling even more than the first time, and it was foul-smelling.
Madame Chu thought to ask Xie Zhinuan for help, but Chu Yun’an stopped her.
“Mother, Miss Xie has to return to the county town to see patients at daybreak; we can’t disturb her rest!”
“…”
Madame Chu wanted to say something.
After looking at her eldest son, who had fallen asleep peacefully after the pain, she let out a breath.
“Then tomorrow, you take your elder brother to the county town, closer to Miss Xie, so it will be convenient if anything happens!” Madame Chu said, pausing before adding, “I have two pieces of uncarved jade, take them to give to Xie Zhinuan as a thank you gift!”
Chu Yun’an was very surprised.
Those two pieces of jade had been in his mother’s hands for many years and were of excellent quality; he did not expect his mother would offer them as thank you gifts.
“Yes!”
Chu Yun’an responded.
Madame Chu glanced at her son on the bed, “All of you are good children; I only wish I could give you the best. With your elder brother like this, if mother is a bit partial…”
Her heart and eyes were full of distress.
“Whether it’s him, you, or Yunqi, for the wives you’ll marry, it’s all your own choice. I thought that lowly girl from the Lu Family was a good one, but who knew she would be such a poisonous woman, playing us for fools for so many years…”
“Mother, don’t worry about outside matters, leave them to your sons to handle!” Chu Yun’an said as he held Madame Chu’s hand, “In this world, if you do wrong, you must take responsibility and face punishment!”
Madame Lu wouldn’t get away with it.
Even if his elder brother forgave her, that didn’t mean he would, or the Chu Family would.
There is no such good deal.
Upon hearing this, Madame Chu nodded slightly, “In that case, I won’t ask further. You handle it as you see fit!”
She had no intention of seeing the Lu Family again.
