Instead of caring about the upset teacup, Sword One started to check Gu Chaoyan’s hands. There had been so much blood over her sleeves, yet she had not even noticed that. Elder Miss had been holding the pain for so long, so she felt extremely guilty!

Gu Chaoyan was not looking at the Sword One, but at the upset teacup. The wound on her arm was not serious, just some blood. She had thought about using some magical water to heal it, so that the wound would disappear soon, but she failed to notice the blood trace on her sleeve, which was noticed by Sword One who considered it a big deal.

Sword One’s eyes were sparkling with tears. She had felt so guilty about what she had done with Feng Yue. Due to her impulsive idea, she almost got Elder Miss injured by Feng Yue.

From that time on, she made up her mind to watch Elder Miss well, so she felt very guilty when she saw what happened.

She went and prepared medical cream.

She put on the cream for Gu Chaoyan, who intended to tease Sword One a bit, but she dropped the idea after seeing Sword One looking so worried.

After the cream was put on Sword One went to prepare a new dress.

Sword One knew that Gu Chaoyan did not like the smell of blood, so she would deal with everything.

Sword One had just turned around to fetch the dress when Zhou Huaijin came in quietly,

He frowned deeply as he saw the newly-bandaged arm. “When did you get hurt?”

He and the hidden guards had been following Gu Chaoyan, because he was worried about her being in such a dangerous place. He and his hidden guards were following Gu Chaoyan in her pursuit of that man, but nothing happened in the process, it only happened at the end, which he failed to notice.

He showed a very bad look on his face.

“I got it accidentally, I am fine,” Gu Chaoyan said indifferently.

Normally, she should have been capable enough not to get wounded, but that man was so tricky that he kept a hidden trick that wounded her.

It was good that the wound was not that deep.

Zhou Huaijin felt his heart aching as he held her hands in his.

Gu Chaoyan put the hand away and said, “It is fine, just a small wound which should be healed in a couple of days. Prime Minister Chu is heading back to the capital overnight, so you should keep him safe on the way. I am heading back tomorrow too.”

Zhou Huaijin looked at Gu Chaoyan’s hand and nodded. Then he left.

Sword One brought back the dress…

Gu Chaoyan went back to bed after such a long day.

The following day Gu Chaoyan decided to head back to the capital with Sword One.

She needed to return to the capital now, and Prime Minister Chu’s trusted man as well as Zhou Huaijin’s hidden guards were here at Li Village, so nothing major would happen.

Before she left Gu Chaoyan and Sword One paid a visit to Shanhu’s home.

They had spent five days at Li Village, and Shanhu had been staying at home for five days too. His grandma should have recovered so he should return to the clinic.

Seated in the wagon, she asked Sword One to ask Shanhu to come along.

When Sword One came to Shanhu…

Shanhu should have answered yes, but something else occurred in his mind.

He wanted to see if Lady Chaoyan was here for him or for Lord Huai’s sake so she visited Prime Minister Chu, just as Qu Hua said.

He took a deep breath. “Ms. Sword One, my grandma hasn’t yet recovered, I will be staying here a bit longer.”
