Zui Ying nodded repeatedly. “Young Master, your presumptions are too accurate. That wretched woman deliberately pinned me down and tied me here to torture me. Can you get me out of here?”
Xu Jianchen nodded in response without hesitation. “Of course I can get you out of here. I didn’t need much to know that you’re innocent and it was definitely my sister’s doing. Why shouldn’t I save you?”
Then, he walked behind Zui Ying and suddenly furrowed his brows. “B-But… But I don’t have the keys. How do I unchain you?”
The blue veins in Zui Ying’s hands bulged and the heat in his body grew intense. If this carried on, he would die of starvation or thirst. “Young Master, could you think of a plan to get the keys and get me out of here?” He said with the urge to cry.
In a predicament, Xu Jianchen furrowed his brows. “B-but… but the keys are definitely with my sister. You can see that I’m just a ten-year-old. How can I s.n.a.t.c.h the keys from my sister?”
Zui Ying sniffled and spoke in a depressed voice. “Young Master, please think of a way to save me! If you can’t s.n.a.t.c.h it from her, you can steal it!”
Xu Jianchen’s eyes quivered, but slightly nodded and walked over to Zui Ying. He noticed that Zui Ying was drenched in sweat, then blinked and asked, “It’s not very hot in the room. Why do you look like you’re drenched? Unless, my sister gave you some kind of poison?”
Zui Ying nodded frantically. “Young Master, you’re really clever! You’ve guessed right again. Could you please pour a bucket of cold water over me? Otherwise, I’m going to die from the heat.”
Xu Jianchen smiled sweetly and nodded. “That’s easily done. I’ll go order people to fetch some water.”
Just then, he turned towards the door and ordered, “Xiao Bai, Xiao Hei! Go fetch two buckets of water.”
“Yes, Young Master,” replied Xu Jianchen’s two servants before they left to fetch water.
“Second Young Master, we can’t. If you do this, Young Lady will get mad!” Xu Ziling’s two servants hastily tried to stop them.
“It’s not like the two of you have no idea about my sister’s temper. She loves to bully people and she has a terrible temper. The brother in the room is clearly a good person and my sister shouldn’t bully him,” scoffed Xu Jianchen.
“Second Young Master, do you know? I hear the person inside is a scoundrel! Who knows how many innocent women he’s hurt? It’s wrong of you to help him!” One of the servants attempted to talk him out of it.
Xu Jianchen’s eyes widened slightly. “How do you know that this person is a scoundrel?”
“Second Young Master, the person inside is actually the shadow guard who was ordered to escort the Young Lady back to the manor. But just when they were about to reach the manor, the scoundrel unexpectedly dared to hug her and hara.s.s her. Fortunately, there are many highly skilled men at the manor to be able to subdue that scoundrel! Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!” Replied the servant.
Xu Jianchen nodded emotionlessly, then took a moment’s contemplation. “But I still think that shadow guard is a good person. At least, he’s better than my sister.”
“Second Young Master, w-why… why do you think so?” The servant was left suddenly stunned.
“Second Young Master, the water is ready.” Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei carried the water to the room.
Xu Jianchen grinned, then turned heel and said, “Follow me.”
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai followed Xu Jianchen into the room.
Xu Ziling and two servants sighed helplessly. It looks like the Second Young Master had a terrible impression of his older sister.
Xu Jianchen walked up to Zui Ying, then ordered people to pour water over him.
Zui Ying felt a lot more comfortable after he felt the sudden chill over his entire body and let out a sigh.
