Chapter 589: Chapter 576: Devote Myself to You

Since it was the debt of saving a life, there were fair and reasonable circumstances surrounding this promise.

More importantly, Chu Jinnian was initially the one who broke his word.

They had originally agreed to return early, but he hadn’t returned for such a long time. Ultimately, not only did she come to find him, she ended up in a debilitated state, which was excessively unjust.

Thus, by all rationality, he should apologize, make amends, and provide compensation.

Zhuang Qingning felt more secure, and could even say that she took advantage with full righteousness.

Chu Yunzhao and Jing Zhao outside the room, had no idea about the situation inside and were keeping vigil outside.

They were naturally restless, particularly Chu Yunzhao. He paced back and forth in the courtyard and approached the steps, wanting to enter to check on the condition inside. But recalling the sight he had just witnessed, he could not help trembling and quickly retreated.

After several attempts, Chu Yunzhao could only look at Jing Zhao, “Can we truly trust Miss Zhuang’s medical skills?”

“This… ”

Jing Zhao scratched his scalp, and answered, “Earlier, Miss Zhuang saved a businessman in the county town who was poisoned by the chief shopkeeper of his shop as a punishment. The poison was very strange and baffled many doctors; they all said there was no hope. However, Miss Zhuang cured him after a few days of treatment.”

“Moreover, Miss Zhuang has been running a business selling mosquito repellent herb bags all along. These herb bags are incredibly effective and the recipe also comes from her hands.”

“From what you say, Miss Zhuang’s medical skills are truly miraculous.” Chu Yunzhao responded thoughtfully, however, he did not relax his eyebrows as he asked, “But how did Miss Zhuang find out so quickly that Jinnian was poisoned?”

Jing Zhao spread his hands in bafflement, “I really don’t know.”

“All I know is that the eldest son treats Miss Zhuang differently. Even the people who look after her are the Su sisters, Su Mu and Su Ye. The Fourth Prince also witnessed earlier that the eldest son even gave the jade bi left by the princess to Miss Zhuang… ”

“So, the Eldest Son must have been communicating privately with Miss Zhuang. It’s not surprising that she knew about this.”

“Hmm.” Chu Yunzhao nodded once again, “So it seems that Jinnian and Miss Zhuang truly have a deep affection.”

Zhuang Qingning had rushed over in a hurry just now, with worried expressions. It seemed that she was very concerned about Chu Jinnian’s condition at this time.

It looked like Chu Jinnian and his fiancée were indeed deeply in love.

Chu Yunzhao didn’t have a deep impression of his aunt, having met her only a few times. But in his memory, she was very assertive and intelligent.

Chu Jinnian once said that this marriage was painstakingly selected by Queen Qi herself. Chu Yunzhao had originally been worried that Queen Qi chose hastily out of desperation to prevent the King of Qi and Mrs. Ruo from manipulating Chu Jinnian’s marriage affairs. But now it seemed that she had planned ahead.

Chu Yunzhao nodded again and again, growing more and more admiring of his aunt. He even felt quite satisfied thinking about Chu Jinnian’s future marriage.

However…

Chu Jinnian, this rascal!

He never mentioned these things to him. How could he be seen as a brother?
