Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Why Have You Become Like This?

Chu Qianli rubbed her wrist.

She had used this hand to block a palm strike from Chu Feixue just now.

But this hand had been stepped on by Qing Ming before and was injured.

Until now, it still wasn’t very flexible.

She needed to rest it for a good while longer, or it would affect her acupuncture techniques in the future.

As she looked down, a hint of dejection inevitably swept across the bottom of her eyes.

Her hand was more important to her than her life.

If it were ruined, at least half the meaning of her living would be gone.

Chu Qianli turned to leave.

Chu Feixue still pursued her, "It was you who had someone poison Huaiyu, and you still dare not admit it!"

"Although the Prince sealed my acupoint, preventing me from fighting you, I am ultimately someone who came from the Prince Residence. If you damage my face, given the Prince’s dominance, he won’t let you off."

The hand that Chu Feixue had raised, paused significantly upon hearing this.

Han Zhan’s eyes darkened, "He sealed your acupoint?"

No wonder she hadn’t fought back just now! She was simply powerless to resist!

Looking at her complexion now, it was certainly a bit pale.

The whole person was no longer as vibrant and thriving as before!

That kind of quietness, that almost seemed to be in harmony with the world, was something she had never had before.

"Han Zhan, I just came back to see my grandfather. If something happens to me here, the Prince from Xuan Prince Residence might not just let it go."

"You can gamble and let Chu Feixue harm me, but if you don’t want to take that risk, you’d better control this madwoman."

"What did you say?" Right now, Chu Feixue utterly loathed her!

It was bad enough that she had entered the Xuan Prince Residence; Chu Feixue might have also fallen for the Prince, but he was simply too proud and, and very terrifying too.

She didn’t dare to entertain any thoughts.

Chu Feixue thought that Duke He, who was slightly more gentle in temperament, stood a better chance with her.

But she never expected that one day, she would provide Chu Qianli and Duke He with an opportunity right in her own courtyard.

Thinking about it made her feel as if she had swallowed a fly, uncomfortable all over.

If she didn’t torture this wretched woman properly, she would feel discontented.

"It’s because you poisoned Huaiyu that the Prince sealed your acupoint, you brought this upon yourself!"

"The Prince must despise you completely by now; even if I beat you to death, he wouldn’t feel the slightest bit of pity!"

Her hand was raised again.

Chu Qianli looked at her, indifferent, "You can try."

Her demeanor was calm, detached, and composed. Though her aura was very weak, those bright eyes of hers still forced Chu Feixue’s hand, making her unable to strike.

"My acupoint was sealed before Chu Huaiyu’s incident; it has nothing to do with what happened to Chu Huaiyu."

In the end, she still looked at Han Zhan.

Perhaps she felt that here, only Han Zhan might be somewhat reasonable.

She said, "If the Prince really thought the incident had something to do with me, why would he allow me to leave the Prince Residence, and have Leng Ji escort me back personally?"

Han Zhan didn’t speak.

Upon hearing that, Chu Feixue became even angrier, "Leng Ji escorted you back personally? You wretch, you’re spouting complete nonsense! If that’s true, where is he?"

Why was it that now all she saw was Chu Qianli alone?

Chu Feixue immediately felt emboldened and angrily declared, "You even dare to deceive Han Zhan, I’ll beat you to death!"

With Chu Qianli’s acupoints sealed, it was as if heaven itself was helping her!

She had never been able to beat Chu Qianli before!

Now, wasn’t it time to exact revenge?

Not to ruin that cheap face of hers was the least of it! She had plenty of ways to deal with this wretched woman!

Chu Feixue pushed a palm strike towards Chu Qianli’s shoulder.

This shoulder blade had been injured before. Although it seemed to have recovered now, bone injuries like these are difficult to heal completely.

Two more slaps should do it, I can definitely break her again!

The more Chu Feixue thought about it, the more excited she became, and the slap she swung was with considerable force.

Chu Qianli saw through her intentions and immediately tried to retreat.

But now, her speed was no match for Chu Feixue.

With nowhere to retreat and stumbling underfoot, she fell backwards onto the ground.

Utterly disgraceful!

Chu Feixue’s eyes lit up, and her palm harshly aimed for the shoulder.

Unexpectedly, a surge of force clashed with the center of her palm.

Chu Feixue hadn’t even seen who had intervened when she was forced back several steps by the impact.

She nearly lost her footing and fell to the ground.

When she looked up, she saw Han Zhan standing behind Chu Qianli, holding her steady.

"Han Zhan, what do you mean by this? Isn’t Huaiyu the one you like? Why are you helping this wretch?"

Han Zhan himself didn’t know why, but when he saw how vulnerable Chu Qianli had become, his heart softened all of a sudden.

He was worried about Huaiyu and had truly loathed Chu Qianli, who had been ordered to poison Huaiyu.

But now, she seemed to look... almost innocent.

Chu Qianli also didn’t want to get entangled with Han Zhan too much.

After catching her breath, she immediately moved away from his embrace.

"Han Zhan, I have an agreement with Butler Han, that as soon as I return, I must go to see him and Grandfather. If you are still Butler Han’s son, then you must escort me to Grandfather’s chamber first."

Her voice was very calm. Despite being troubled by Chu Feixue so much, she didn’t show a hint of temper.

Indeed, she was very different from before.

Han Zhan said nothing, yet he walked by her side.

His relationship with his father was indeed not bad, and he himself had had conflicts before.

But now, anything said would be in vain. It was best to let her meet the Duke first.

He believed in his own father’s judgment. Regardless of what Chu Qianli had done outside, at least in front of the Duke, she was a good person.

"Han Zhan, don’t be deceived by her. She failed to seduce the Prince and now she’s targeting you..."

Chu Qianli walked past Chu Feixue, not taking her words to heart.

Chu Feixue wanted to rush over, but was pushed back by a casual palm strike from Han Zhan.

Chu Feixue’s face was filled with discontent!

"Han Zhan, do you still like Huaiyu or have you changed your heart?"

"Sixth Miss, Huaiyu has entered the Prince Residence, and she belongs to the Prince. Don’t spread nonsense and tarnish her reputation."

"You..."

Chu Qianli, however, had already walked away far, ignoring how Chu Feixue ranted and raved.

With Han Zhan’s escort, Chu Feixue naturally didn’t dare to act recklessly.

Han Zhan followed behind Chu Qianli, his gaze involuntarily resting on her figure.

It was the same person, but the aura and the essence were completely different from half a month ago.

So indifferent, cool, quiet, living in peace with the world.

It was as if she had become a different person!

What exactly had she gone through in the Prince Residence to have changed this way?

"Did you really go to Heifeng Ridge?"

Han Zhan still couldn’t help but voice his doubt.

Only a very few people knew about this matter.

He knew because the Duke had been sent to the palace a while ago and upon his return, he overheard people from the Prince’s side whispering a few things.

They didn’t elaborate, but mentioned the Prince going to Heifeng Ridge to save someone.

So, the person saved, related to both the Prince and the Duke, could only be her in Han Zhan’s mind.

"Why have you become like this? What exactly happened at Heifeng Ridge?"
