The two attendants finally understood and quickly drew their swords from their waists and charged forward.
“Get lost!” Lao Chen’s face darkened. He opened his mouth and roared which frightened everyone away.
The attendants were no match for Lao Chen. Startled by his roar, they almost spat out blood on the spot.
“Lao Chen, what do you mean by this?” Mu Shui sat paralyzed on the ground and roared angrily at Lao Chen.
Lao Chen snorted coldly and looked at Mu Shui with disdain. “1 should be the one asking you this. These two are my benefactors. If you want to lay a hand on them, you have to ask for my permission first!”
“Aren’t you going too far? We’ve been friends for so many years, and you’re actually not helping me?” Mu Shui saw Lao Chen’s cold face and did not give him any answer. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and roared, “Fine! Today, 1 see you for who you really are!”
After Mu Shui said this, he quickly gave his subordinates a look.
The two attendants rushed up and forcefully pulled Mu Shui up from the ground. Then, they carried him and rushed out in a hurry.
“Young Master and Young Miss, please don’t mind. It’s my misfortune to have been deceived by the wrong person, resulting in both of you being wrong. However, you can rest a.s.sured that 1 have already seen through Mu Shui’s character. In the future, 1 will definitely come to him personally and settle the scores with him for so many years.” As Lao Chen spoke, a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
When Xiao Yan saw this scene, the brows behind the mask slightly raised.
He had initially thought that Lao Chen hadn’t noticed Mu Shui’s true intentions. Now, it seemed that Lao Chen knew everything, but he had never shown it before.
Su Qian picked up the bowl of medicine that had fallen to the ground. After making sure that the remaining half of the bowl was enough for Lao Chen to use for the next few days, she handed the medicine to him with ease. Then, she put away the Dragon-repelling Fruit Fruit and left with Xiao Yan.
Steward Zhou followed Su Qian and Xiao Yan leaving, he didn’t forget to praise Su Qian. “Miss Su, your medical skills are truly remarkable. I’ve really broadened my horizons today.”
“Steward Zhou, you’re too polite. It’s all thanks to the Deputy City Master’s help. Please convey my grat.i.tude to the Deputy City Master for his a.s.sistance. If there is anything 1 can help in the future, feel free to come to the Su family to find me,” Su Qian replied with a gentle smile.
“Thank you, Miss Su.” After Steward Zhou finished speaking, he hurriedly looked at Xiao Yan. “Then, Your Highness, should 1 have a carriage prepared to escort both of you?”
“No need, you may leave.” Xiao Yan’s indifferent words caused Steward Zhou to obediently withdraw.
“Your Highness, I’m not interested in anything else. I’m planning to return home now. If Your Highness still wants to stay and stroll around, then I’ll take my leave first and not stay to disturb Your Highness.” Su Qian thought Xiao Yan was planning to go to the gathering again, so she took the initiative to ask.
“I came with you today to see what the Dragon-repelling Fruit looks like. Since we’ve seen it, let’s go back together. We’ll use the Imperial Residence’s carriage to send you back,” Xiao Yan said as he glanced at Su Qian. “Let’s go. Push me out first.”
Su Qian came behind Xiao Yan and pushed his wheelchair while her mind was still pondering the words he had just said.
He came to the gathering solely for her sake…
“Qian Qian, 1 have something to ask you.” Xiao Yan turned around and glanced at Su Qian. “You wanted the Phoenix Orchid first, and now you have the Dragon-repelling Fruit.. Why did you spend so much effort to collect these herbs?”
