Chapter 156: Questioning and remember who your master is
Printing a thousand copies, in just one night, is too much of a work. So, Su Cha and Liu Bai become so busy to point where they can no longer even gasp the time. They also don’t know if Xiao Tianyao has left to rest.
Su Cha and Liu Bai were only responsible for printing the evidence. While, Xiao Tianyao was the one who arrange the rest. Well, with this arrangement, they will also avoid making mistake.
So tonight, don’t even bother mentioning about having a good rest, because Xiao Tianyao was so busy to rest. He doesn’t have time to pay attention to his own wounds or time to eat his food.
Lin Chujiu came to change Xiao Tianyao’s wound dressing. And in there, she saw Xiao Tianyao was very busy as usual. So, she didn’t say anything. And when she saw his cold face, she just crouched to his side and change his wounds dressing.
Lin Chujiu also checked his body temperature. But, Xiao Tianyao was still busy, so he turned a deaf ear to her words.
No matter what time Lin Chujiu came to check his condition. Xiao Tianyao was too busy to even look at her. So, even though she was still angry, she got numb after a couple of hours.
Xiao Tianyao himself doesn’t care about his body, so why would she care? She had done everything she could do to cure him. Anyway, even if someone came to kill her, she will not say that she feels distressed because of him.
Well, even though Lin Chujiu fiercely bad mouth Xiao Tianyao. Deep inside her heart, she felt disappointed because she truly felt distressed about his condition. However, Lin Chujiu knows very clearly, that if Xiao Tianyao himself doesn’t want to take a rest, then she really can’t do anything about it.
Anyway, if the Emperor cornered him, and Xiao Tianyao stop from fighting, he will not the only one who will die!
So, before going to sleep, Lin Chujiu diligently went to see Xiao Tianyao again. Lin Chujiu found out that Xiao Tianyao’s wounds are swelling, but she didn’t say anything and only wrinkled her eyebrows. And then, she turned around to go and look for Doctor Wu.
“Will this work? Will w.a.n.gye listen to me?” Doctor Wu said while wiping the sweat in his face.
“I have done everything that I can. It’s time for you to take care of w.a.n.gye.” Lin Chujiu simply said, because she doesn’t care if it went well or not.
“Why am I so unlucky ah.” Doctor Wu depressingly said, but because he is a doctor in Xiao w.a.n.gfu, he cannot ignore Xiao Tianyao.
According to Lin Chujiu, he must serve the medicine immediately to Xiao Tianyao until its warm. But, Doctor Wu didn’t dare to send it directly. Instead, he light up a small fire to keep it warm. And when Xiao Tianyao finally released a breath with a sigh. Doctor Wu carefully said: “w.a.n.gye, before leaving, w.a.n.gfei specifically ordered me to keep this medicine warm, to make you feel better.”
After speaking, Doctor Wu silently put the medicine in front of Xiao Tianyao. And then, he respectfully took a step back and wait for him to finish.
Xiao Tianyao didn’t speak, but he looked at the streaming bowl of medicine in a daze. And after a long while, he said: “You may go.”
Doctor Wu who feel guilty, hastily bowed down and turned to go. But, before leaving, he didn’t forget to close the door.
The hot stream of the medicine gradually dispersed, meaning the medicine is now warm. Xiao Tianyao took the medicine, and in a blink of an eye, he drink all of it. But after that, he didn’t even drink a tea. He only let the bitter taste stayed in his mouth.

Lin Chujiu speak without any care to Xiao Tianyao, but deep inside her heart, she was still very worried about his injuries. Lin Chujiu returned to her courtyard so sudden. So, she called a few times more before Zhenzhu and Feicui had reacted to her call. However, she didn’t hear their conversation, she only heard them said: “Oh, well, we’ll just figure it out.”
Zhenzhu and Feicui looks depressed. Because they don’t know if Lin Chujiu will want to hear what they will say. But, in the end, the two of them only look at each other and no longer said anything. And then, they just ask Lin Chujiu if she wants to take a bath.
“Okay.” Right now, it seems she doesn’t need to do anything else.
After taking a bath, Lin Chujiu sober up a lot. And so, she took the initiative to ask Zhenzhu and Feicui’s concern.
“w.a.n.gfei, there were several furen that had sent a letter and invited you to enjoy the flowers with them.” Zhenzhu and Feicui said at the same time.
In the past, this type of letters was sent directly to Xiao w.a.n.gye. But, because he was so busy in these past two days, Housekeeper Cao sent it to Lin Chujiu, so she can decide on her own.
Lin Chujiu hates trouble, so she said: “No, reject them all.”
Zhenzhu and Feicui have long been expecting this answer.
Shanshu came forward as soon as the temperature of the cup of milk become right.
As soon as the warm milk flow in her throat up to her stomach, Lin Chujiu felt her body become warm. Her slightly frowning eyebrows also couldn’t help but relax. And it seems, her mood become quite good.
Seeing this, Shanshu casually said what’s on her mind: “When this slave went to the kitchen to get this milk, I heard Housekeeper Cao said to the cook, to prepare another meal. It seems w.a.n.gye didn’t eat dinner because he was so busy ah. Housekeeper Cao was worried if w.a.n.gye was in pain, but he doesn’t know how he will take of w.a.n.gye. He can only stare and wish for w.a.n.gye to eat his three meals.”
Shanshu keeps talking while staring at Lin Chujiu. Because she’s looking forward to seeing her reaction, but… …
Lin Chujiu acted like she didn’t hear anything like usual. She only sips and sips the milk, as her mouth got covered with a white mark.
Shanshu felt depressed, but she didn’t give up, she added: “Housekeeper Cao said, he couldn’t blame w.a.n.gye for forgetting to take care of himself. Because we are in a very tight situation. There were many people that keeps secretly monitoring the Xiao w.a.n.gfu. And a few days ago, some of the people who deliver our food were killed to switch our supplies. If our kitchen people were not careful, we would have been poisoned by now.”
Shanshu keeps talking about different stuff, but she found out that Lin Chujiu was still feeling indifferent. So, she couldn’t help but feel anxious. Lin Chujiu only continue to drink her milk, so Shanshu impulsively went in front of her.
“w.a.n.gfei, don’t you want to see the w.a.n.gye? We don’t know if he will sleep today. Housekeeper Cao said w.a.n.gye’s wounds were bleeding. But as soon as Doctor Wu deliver his medicine, w.a.n.gye kick him out. w.a.n.gye doesn’t have anyone to look for him. w.a.n.gfei, can’t you go and see w.a.n.gye?” Shanshu was looking forward to it, but it seems, things are not that easy.
She doesn’t know whether using Housekeeper Cao’s words were right or wrong. She just tried to persuade their w.a.n.gfei.
Lin Chujiu had taken care Xiao Tianyao the whole night. But, he didn’t bulge. So, Lin Chujiu doesn’t know if Shanshu wants her to take care of Xiao Tianyao again or bowed down her head on him.
Lin Chiujiu’s facial expression become cold: “Did w.a.n.gye ask you to do this?”
“No, no.” Shanshu knows she shouldn’t have said much, but she could no longer take them back.
“Then, is Houskeeper Cao your master?”
The more Lin Chujiu’s words become sharp, the more Shanshu’s body trembled. She shook her head again and again while saying: “No, no, this slave’s master is w.a.n.gfei.”
“You’re wrong, your master is not me.” Lin Chujiu said while gently holding Shanshu. However, Shanshu’s body trembled even more. Shanshu immediately kneels on the floor and said: “w.a.n.gfei, this slave is wrong.”
Seeing this, Zhenzhu, Manao, and Feicui also follow. They all kneel on the floor and beg for mercy.
They didn’t think Shanshu’s persuasion will lead into this. So, they don’t know what to do.
Lin Chujiu didn’t look at the four kneeling maidservants, she only coldly said: “Remember who’s your real master is, so you won’t get confused later.”
After she finished, Lin Chujiu walked pa.s.sed through them… …
What do these people think of her?
Whether it is right or wrong, why would she bow down her head?
