Chapter 46: A Fierce Maid
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Silver, following An Rushuang"s order, was greatly pleased that she was trusted by Miss An.Hong Yu, watching An Rushuang entering the room with her arm held by Silver, remembered yesterday Miss An said she had come up with an idea of how to help Nanny Liu. Having a vague idea about what An Rushuang was going to do, Hong Yu ran to the door in a hurry. As soon as she stepped out of the threshold, a man suddenly popped out and knocked Hong Yu to the ground.
“Ah!”
Hong Yu, terribly shocked by the accidence, felt as if her face having been flatted, with tears and nasal mucus keeping trickling down. She stared at the man in tears, who was as tall as a bamboo. Though she couldn"t see his face clearly, Hong Yu could still hazily see the square medical kit held in his hand and smell the slight herbal fragrance around.
“Miss Hong Yu, are you okay?” The man stooped before reached out his hand to press her nose. “Thank G.o.d, your nose is all right. Please be careful next time. You are lucky enough to b.u.mp into me this time. If it was the door frame or column, you definitely would break your nose which is so hard to heal...”
It was n.o.body but physician Ye Chengzhi.
Hong Yu, gnas.h.i.+ng her teeth while glaring at Ye Chengzhi, bit his finger all of a sudden!
Just as the saying goes, “Ten fingers were directly linked to the heart”, the sharp pain went through his arm, then dispersed to his limbs and bones. Ye Zhicheng shouted shrilly, his face twisting seriously.
“Ah,Ah,Ah! Why are you biting me! Hurt... it hurts, stop! Miss Hong Yu! Please stop! My finger is breaking...”
Hong Yu stopped until Ye Chengzhi shed tears. She stared at him before she rose to her feet. “Oh... I have no idea whether it"s easy to heal your finger,” said Hong Yu, who left while singing a song.
Ye Chengzhi, crouching on the ground for a long time, didn"t regain his consciousness until Silver came up to meet him. He caught a glimpse of Silver in alertness before following her into An Rushuang"s boudoir.
Lying behind the curtain, An Rushuang coughed lightly. “I will make a cup of tea for your ladys.h.i.+p at once,” Silver said urgently while drawing the curtain.
Early in the morning when Ye Chengzhi was accompanying that fastidious old man, a servant of the An family came to ask him for help. He was astonished to know that Miss An Rushuang was too sick to get out of the bed.
Did she, still energetic yesterday, suffered some emergency?
So Ye Chengzhi hurried here, and got bite by an “evil cat” at the entrance.
How could a weak girl like Hong Yu have so much strength? Ye Chengzhi turned to look at the tooth print with tinges of blood on his finger...
Tsk, tsk, he sighed at heart. Miss An shouldn"t be trifled with, nor should her maid!
“Mr. Ye, what happened?”
An Rushuang, not knowing why Ye Chengzhi was distracted, broke the silence, and asked him once again.
Founding he was taking the pulse of himself instead of Miss An, Ye Chengzhi blushed while coughing softly. “Could you tell me clearly what symptoms do you have? How do you feel now?”
“I am all right. It"s the other one who is ill.” An Rushuang smiled.
“What do you mean?”
Frowning a little bit, Ye Chengzhi turned angry after realizing he had been fooled, however, he suddenly learned something when remembering Hong Yu ran toward the western chamber in a hurry. “You pretend to be ill for the sake of Nanny Liu?”
Ye Chengzhi knew for sure he had guessed right.
He was clever enough. Lying behind the curtain and staring at the vague figure of Ye Chengzhi, An Rushuang thought and answered him, “I visited her yesterday. You should have known what to say when she came.”
She was giving him a chance!
Miss An, who once threatened to ruin his career if he couldn"t cure Nanny Liu, was willing to help him today. Ye Chengzhi had no idea what she was thinking. “I will remember your ladys.h.i.+p"s favor till death.”
An Rushuang raised her eyebrows, a wisp of cunning gleam skimming across her eyes.
“I really need your help on one thing, hoping you won"t decline.”
Ye Chengzhi, thinking she would ask for some herbal medicine which to him was a small piece of cake, answered excitedly, “I would do whatever you ask without the slightest complaint!”
“Thank you very much.”
Ye Chengzhi set his mind at ease, however, he didn"t see that there was a cunning and pleasing smile on An Rushuang"s face.
“Nanny, please watch your step!” There came Hong Yu"s voice outside before long. “Given your poor health, there is no need for you to come. Miss An will be all right...”
Though she had a tender voice, Ye Chengzhi"s hand trembled a little. To him, Hong Yu was definitely a nightmare.
