Oct 30, 2023

Hua Qian cautiously stretched out her hand, but Cuizhu's anxious voice suddenly came from not far away. She ran up crying and asked Hua Qian to see Hua Rongzhou. Hua Qian's heart tightened, and she turned to thank Zhong Xiwu and asked him not to talk about other things in the future. Afterwards, Hua Qian hurriedly followed Cuizhu. After Hua Qian walked away, Zhong Xiwu came back to his senses. However, he did not regret Hua Qian's tactful thank you, but regretted that he was too aggressive and scared Hua Qian.

Hua Qian fell off a cliff that day, and Hua Rongzhou was accidentally injured while trying to save her. Yesterday, he was slapped by Zhong Yelan again, and the wound burst open again. Hua Qian regretted why she never noticed Hua Rongzhou's injury. Cuizhu on the side stood up for Hua Rongzhou and accused Hua Qian regardless of his status. Hua Qian knew that he was in the wrong, so he just lowered his head and remained silent. She suddenly lamented that everyone cared about her deeply, but she always seemed to be selfish. But thankfully, this time it was discovered in time.
Hua Qian was about to leave, but the corner of her clothes was tightly held by Hua Rongzhou, who had a nightmare. Hua Qian tried her best to pull out the corner of her clothes, but her strength was no match for the unconscious Hua Rongzhou. Helpless, she had no choice but to squat aside and watch until dawn. Early the next morning, Hua Rongzhou finally woke up. Hua Qian was also awakened and hurriedly got up to check Hua Rongzhou's injuries. But Hua Rongzhou still held the corner of Hua Qian's clothes in his hand, so that Hua Qian fell into Hua Rongzhou's arms inertia. The two of them had no time to be embarrassed and hurriedly separated. Hua Rongzhou felt that he had offended Hua Qian, so he quickly stood up and apologized to Hua Qian, regardless of the fact that the wound had not completely healed. Hua Qian didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to let him have a good rest and come back to visit him in the future.

Hua Qian originally planned to take a good rest, but Hua Rongzhou insisted on coming to apologize. Hua Qian was helpless and had to call him into the room to ask about the situation that day. Hua Rongzhou told Hua Qian that his wounds were not caused by falling off the cliff, but by meeting a man in black after falling off the cliff. Hua Qian seemed to understand something, then put away his sneer and told Hua Rongzhou to take a good rest and learn to protect himself first when protecting others.

Zhong Yelan and Mu Yao openly stated that they knew that the kidnapping that day was all her fault. In the past, Zhong Yelan always felt that Hua Qian was very scheming and would do anything to achieve his goals. Indeed, Hua Qian used to be like this. But Mu Yao now seems to be no different from Hua Qian in the past. Mu Yao felt mixed emotions in his heart, and his legs went limp for a moment.

In order to investigate the man in black that day, Hua Qian specially borrowed some people from his father. She asked these people to guard Zhongzhai, pay close attention to Mu Yao's every move, and then see if anyone visited Zhongzhai at night. Hua Qian herself was not idle either. She put on the white jade bracelet that the eldest princess had given her before and visited Zhong's Garden. Although the eldest princess was not as close to her as before, she was not distant either and asked her to keep the white jade bracelet. Later, Hua Qian told the eldest princess about her meeting with Zhong Xiwu a few days ago, without any hesitation. The eldest princess also heard the implication of her words and promised that she would keep a close eye on Zhong Xiwu and not let him disturb her again.

Hua Qian stood up and told the eldest princess very solemnly that after he investigated the assassination that day, he would leave Huangcheng with his parents. The eldest princess had mixed feelings, some were reluctant to leave, but more importantly, she seemed to be relieved. She thought for a moment, and finally reminded Hua Qian that the world would not allow Zhong Xiwu and Zhong Yelan to cause a scandal of brotherly feud, otherwise, she would not be able to keep her safe. Hua Qian knew what the eldest princess was talking about, so he knelt down and thanked the eldest princess.
