The road was rugged and there were many stones. Although Xiang Xue was born into the world of prostitution, she was also a young lady from a wealthy family. After her family fell, she had no choice but to enter the world of prostitution. How could she have gone through these bumps? Even though Chen He had protected her the most from getting hurt, Xiang Xue still had scratches on her body and bruises on her face. Chen He hugged her and smelled the fragrance on her body. She was so delicate that it penetrated his bones. His slightly furrowed brows were like snow falling on his heart.
Xiang Xue felt Chen He's hands on her waist and pushed them away uncomfortably. "How are you? Are you alright?"
Chen He frowned and helped Xiang Xue up. When Gu Ci ran over, she saw that the coachman wanted to run away. She pulled the coachman over and knelt under her knees. "Tell me, who sent you to do this?"
"I'll talk, I'll talk. It's the Chen family's second young master. He said that he had already bought a girl from the brothel keeper and wanted the girl to be his concubine. He asked me to take the girl out of the mansion outside the city.”The coachman had nowhere to run and hurriedly said.
Gu Ci wanted to continue teaching this person a lesson, but Chen He said," That's enough, Gu Ci. Let him go. He's just doing his job for money."”
Only then did he remember that he was still holding Xiang Xue and immediately let go. Gu Ci saw that Chen He had also suffered a lot of injuries. There were scratches on his forehead and blood on his hands, staining his robe with blood.
Gu Ci asked. "As expected, it's Chen Chuan again."
"Then what should we do now?" Xiang Xue lowered her head in embarrassment. "We can't go back to the House of Red Sleeves."
"Outside the city." Chen He frowned. "The Chen family's old residence is there. You can stay there temporarily.”After saying that, Chen He left with his hands behind his back like before.
"Bad temper." Gu Ci looked at his back and placed one hand on Xiang Xue's shoulder to help her walk.
Although no one lived in the Chen family's old house, it was considered clean with one or two people left to take care of it. Chen He arranged for Xiang Xue to stay. Xiang Xue saw the blood on his robe and stopped him. She looked at the wound on his hand that was behind his back. "Wait a moment."
Chen He turned around." Is there anything else?”
Xiang Xue shook her head. Her messy hair did not affect her beautiful face. She walked over and held Chen He's hand. She looked at the wounds that had not dried up and said. "Remember to treat your wound when you get back.”She took out her handkerchief and wrapped it around his hand. A corner of the white handkerchief was embroidered with green bamboo. He instructed. "Thank you for saving my life."
Chen He's palm was held by Xiang Xue, and the skin that came into contact with it immediately became hot. His gaze seemed to fall on the girl's face, but he felt that looking at her was like defiling her. It was as if he was like those guests in the House of Red Sleeves.
He looked at Xiang Xue evasively. Both of them felt their hearts beating like numb and did not know what to say next. After a long time, Chen He stuttered and said incoherently. "Then you can stay here now. I'll get someone to send over your daily necessities.”
Xiang Xue only nodded and smiled." Be careful when you go back.”
Gu Ci was sitting on a chair outside the door. She laughed when she heard the two people's flustered looks. When she came out, Chen He ignored her and left. Gu Ci sighed twice, but Chen He did not stop. Gu Ci looked around the room and followed him. She pulled Chen He and asked. "Yo, this is the first time I've met a little girl. You're actually so shy.”
"Ancient porcelain." Chen He raised his voice slightly.
"Come on, I'm not teasing you.”Gu Ci said," You're like an old iron tree blooming. If you like her, then go after her. Anyway, your brother helped you redeem her. Now, you have a mistress in your house. What are you afraid of? She is no longer a member of the House of Red Sleeves. There are no restrictions on her identity. Listen to me. Hurry up and marry her. The lady even took the initiative to bandage your wound.”
"Gu Ci, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chen He said seriously. "Why would I like her?"
"Please, big brother. What's so impossible about something as simple as liking someone?”Gu Ci said. Chen He left in a hurry without saying anything.
