Chapter 243: Chapter 243: A Self-inflicted Error

Chu Qianli turned to look at Han Zhan.

Han Zhan actually knew that, given her character, she would most likely say, "It’s none of your business."

But he was wrong again.

Today’s Chu Qianli was indeed vastly different from the one before.

"This matter is of great importance, and it’s not convenient for me to disclose it, please forgive me."

So polite! Was this really Chu Qianli?

She walked away.

Han Zhan followed her, wanting to say something but not knowing where to begin.

Not until they reached Mingzhe Garden and Chu Qianli was about to enter did Han Zhan come to his senses.

It turned out that this path was, after all, so brief.

She went inside, and he stood outside the courtyard gate.

Looking at her excessively slender figure, he felt a sense of loss.

Chu Qianli went straight into Chu Buqu’s room.

The butler Han continued to stay by the Duke’s side. After not seeing Chu Qianli for many days, he had a lot to say.

In the end, he could only sigh lightly, "As long as everything is fine ... that’s good."

"Thank you, Butler Han."

Chu Qianli had brought the antidote with her and went to Chu Buqu’s bedside, where she, along with Butler Han, helped Chu Buqu sit up.

She said, "Grandpa, how do you feel?"

Chu Buqu was so moved that he couldn’t utter a single word.

In the end, it was still Chu Qianli who ordered Butler Han, "Bring over a glass of warm water, we need to administer the antidote to Grandpa first."

Butler Han now had two hundred percent trust in her.

He immediately poured the warm water and offered it with both hands.

"Grandpa, take the medicine first." Chu Qianli took out the antidote that she had already prepared days ago.

Chu Buqu admired her greatly; as soon as the medicine reached his lips, he immediately bit down.

Chu Qianli couldn’t help but smile, "Grandpa, you trust me so much? Didn’t you even ask what the medicine is? What if it were poisonous?"

A warmth spread through Butler Han’s heart.

Miss Lili finally had a smile on her face.

It was just a pity, that smile was very faint and fleeting, and it soon vanished.

Chu Buqu said in a hoarse voice, "If it weren’t for Lili, your grandpa would have long been gone; what is there to doubt about you?"

"Grandpa, a man of virtue will naturally be blessed. Don’t talk nonsense."

After helping him take the medicine, Chu Qianli, together with Butler Han, helped him lie down.

Then she began to help her grandpa relax his muscles.

"Lili ..."

"Grandpa, don’t inquire about the matters at the Prince Residence. Just focus on getting better."

Chu Qianli didn’t look at him, continuing to carefully massage his finger joints: "During this time, we’ll still proceed according to plan, and once you’re fully recovered, we can proceed to the next step."

"Okay, I’ll listen to everything you say."

... That day, Chu Qianli stayed in Chu Buqu’s bedroom for an entire day.

Apart from a few of their own people, no one knew what they were doing inside.

It was only in the evening that Chu Qianli came out of the courtyard.

As soon as she came out, she ran into Chu Feixue.

It was as if she had been waiting the whole day just to catch her coming out.

Chu Qianli didn’t pay her any attention and walked past her.

Chu Feixue turned to look back.

With Prince’s men guarding the courtyard, she dared not make a move.

Once Chu Qianli had walked some distance away, beyond the sight of the guards, Chu Feixue immediately followed her.

"What conspiracy do you have by staying by Grandfather’s side all the time? Are you hoping that Grandfather will leave everything to you?"

"Whether Grandfather leaves things to me or not, I don’t know, but I do know that Grandfather definitely doesn’t want to leave anything to you."

"You!" Chu Feixue was taken aback and couldn’t quite react!

This wretched woman, when she came here in the morning, wasn’t she looking utterly feeble?

Who would have thought that it was all an act because Han Zhan was present!

Indeed, she is still that malicious woman to the core!

"Pretending and putting on a show when Han Zhan is around, now the true colors are finally revealed, huh?"

She had always disliked Chu Qianli, and now her revulsion had escalated to the point where she wanted to kill Chu Qianli on sight.

"Wench, you dare to put on an act in front of this young lady, I will beat you to death!"

She charged over, raising her hand and aiming a slap at Chu Qianli’s face.

Chu Qianli instinctively raised her hand to block in front of her face.

Chu Feixue’s palm, with no Han Zhan there to restrain her, was indeed thrown with full force.

As the palm struck, a girl’s excruciating cry suddenly filled the air: "Ah..."

Han Zhan, who had been not too far away, was also waiting for Chu Qianli to come out.

Upon hearing the cry, he rushed over immediately.

But he saw Chu Feixue retreating several steps harshly, looking at her own hand and screaming continuously: "Ah! Ah! Ah..."

Chu Qianli, however, simply stood there, watching everything with a cold, indifferent gaze, as if it were none of her concern.

"What happened?" Han Zhan asked.

Chu Qianli ignored him and turned to leave.

Chu Feixue screamed and chased after her: "Ah... you... wretch! Ah! Don’t go, you mustn’t... mustn’t leave! Ah ah..."

Only then did Han Zhan see clearly, her hand was covered in fresh blood, having been wounded somewhere.

"You..."

"Wretch, you actually dared!"

Chu Feixue was so in pain that tears and snot flowed out together, too distracted to wipe them away, she chased after Chu Qianli and tried to hit her again.

Chu Qianli said coldly, "My body is covered in spikes, are you sure you want to try again?"

Chu Feixue raised her left hand but was too frightened to strike at her body again.

Yet she still blocked the way, adamantly refusing to let her pass.

"Han Zhan, she has a hidden weapon, she’s hurting people at the Duke Residence!"

Unable to fight her off herself, Chu Feixue could only hope that Han Zhan would act: "You! Quickly apprehend her!"

"What exactly... happened?" Han Zhan still couldn’t see clearly what the injury was, due to the profuse bleeding.

However, it seemed to be quite severe.

Chu Qianli gave him a glance and then rolled up her sleeve.

On her arm, she was indeed wearing an iron bracer!

The bracer was covered in sharp spikes!

"This thing of mine is not a hidden weapon, it can only protect me and basically can’t be used to attack others."

She looked at Han Zhan, expressionless: "It’s up to you to judge who is right and who is wrong."

Even though her words were somewhat cold, there was no hint of sarcasm in them.

This time when Chu Qianli wanted to leave, Chu Feixue, still resentful and wanting to follow her, was blocked by Han Zhan.

"If you hadn’t wanted to attack her, how could you have been injured? Your predicament is a result of your own doing!"

"Han Zhan, how dare you side with her? Have you forgotten how miserably she harmed Huaiyu? Don’t you feel the slightest bit for Huaiyu?"

How could Han Zhan not feel for Chu Huaiyu?

During those days of uncertainty over Chu Huaiyu’s life and death, he was extremely anxious every day.

He had been to the Prince Residence countless times, and each visit ended without being let in.

It was only after much difficulty that he found out that Huaiyu had woken up, and the heart that had been hanging finally settled down.

Even now, he still very much wanted to know the specific condition of Chu Huaiyu.

He was truly worried!

"Since you’re worried about Huaiyu, you shouldn’t be aiding Chu Qianli," Chu Feixue snorted coldly.

"I am worried about Huaiyu, but I still know the difference between right and wrong."

Han Zhan stared at her, his face completely darkened.

"The Duke ordered me to keep this house safe; if you continue to cause trouble here, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

After giving Chu Feixue one final warning look, he turned and followed Chu Qianli.
