Chapter 2141: Embarrassed Father and Daughter
"Oh no, Ah Chu has a fever."
"She was badly burned. I don't know how long she had a fever or how long she was unconscious." Wan Shufang frowned and fed her a pill before carrying her into the inner room.
Chen Changli knew she was busy, so he didn't bother her. Instead, he took the county magistrate to change clothes and bought him food. Seeing him wolfing down the food, Chen Changli frowned, "How could a good person end up like this?"
As he spoke, he picked up the food and said calmly, "Follow me to Shangguan Chu's room to eat."
Hearing this, although the county magistrate did not understand, he still subconsciously followed the food until he reached Shangguan Chu's room. Wan Shufang was still giving him acupuncture, so Chen Changli asked him to eat quietly on the side.
After about half an incense stick of time, Wan Shufang finally removed all the silver needles and exhaled softly: "Fortunately, I found it in time, otherwise, I would have been burned into a fool."
"How is he?"
Wan Shufang looked at the county magistrate and felt his pulse, then heard Chen Changli say, "He's fine, he just ate a few more mouthfuls of mud. I asked someone to wash him and change his clothes, just like before."
"Alas, he is a poor man." Wan Shufang sighed, gave him a tonic, and then waited quietly for the county magistrate to eat.
Not long after, Shangguan Chu gradually woke up. Seeing Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, she was slightly stunned. Her memory came back, and Shangguan Chu's eyes were slightly red: "Thank you, sir and madam, for saving me again."
"Ah Chu, why don't you ask me for help if you have something to do?"
Wan Shufang walked over and touched her forehead. The heat had faded, and it was only covered with a thin layer of sweat. "From now on, you don't have to carry it by yourself anymore."
"Thank you, ma'am. I just didn't have time to look for you yesterday. Besides, if I hadn't been caught in the rain, I wouldn't have gotten sick." Shangguan Chu muttered, leaning in Wan Shufang's arms.
As if he was greedy for her tenderness, he rubbed his head unconsciously.
She could smell the unique scent of her mother on Wan Shufang, and she always felt extremely at ease.
"Okay, stop crying." Wan Shufang touched the little girl's head and said gently, "As for the academy, I'll go back and ask for leave for you. You can have a good rest."
Hearing this, Shangguan Chu didn't want to agree at first, but seeing Wan Shufang's serious expression, he finally nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you, Madam."
"That's good. You've been hit by a cold this time, so you need to take good care of yourself and don't run around."
"Yes, ma'am. Thank you for taking care of me. Ah Chu is very grateful."
Shangguan Chu agreed weakly and was supported by Wan Shufang and lay down on the bed. At this moment, she had just recovered from a serious illness and felt extremely tired. Her eyes were hazy and she fell asleep again unknowingly.
She rested in the old house for the next few days.
In the academy, Xiao Jingheng hadn't seen Shangguan Chu for several days. Although he learned from Wan Shufang that the other party was fine, he still couldn't help missing him.
"I don't know how Brother Shangguan is doing recently, and when he can come to class..." Xiao Jingheng supported his chin with both hands. As soon as this thought came out, he was shocked.
Why is my heart and eyes filled with only one man?
"Could it be that I am a homosexual?"
Xiao Jingheng shook his head violently, his tone flustered: "No, no, no, it's impossible. I must be too worried about Brother Shangguan, so I want to see him. After all, I regard Brother Shangguan as a close friend."
Attributing this thought to brotherhood, Xiao Jingheng felt much better. He held the book but could not read a single word.
As soon as school was over, he couldn't wait to leave and sent people to investigate secretly.
Now, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang did not take too many precautions about Shangguan Chu's life experience, which allowed Xiao Jingheng to find out some clues. After learning about Shangguan Chu's current predicament, he anonymously sent someone to deliver medicinal materials and silver.
But Xiao Jingheng didn't know that Liu Mochen had been secretly observing his every move, trying to find an opportunity to catch Shangguan Chu, and the person sent to deliver the medicine was also being followed.
Soon, Liu Mochen discovered that Shangguan Chu was wearing women's clothing when entering and leaving the old house.
"This Shangguan Chu, could it be that he is really a pervert who likes women's things?" Liu Mochen gritted his teeth, but suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
"No, could he be... just a woman!"
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Liu Mochen looked at the pink figure, the seeds of doubt buried deeper and deeper. He frowned and left here quietly.
After returning home, Liu Mochen called his people and whispered, "Go check if Shangguan Chu has a twin sister?"
"By the way, check your distant sister too."
"Yes, Master." The servant took the order and left. Liu Mochen touched his chin and murmured, "Shangguan Chu, I have to test you myself."
As his thoughts surged, Liu Mochen curled up a strange smile. He sent someone to follow Shangguan Chu, and when he found out that she went out to buy medicine, he immediately ran over to stop her.
At the door of the pharmacy, Liu Mochen directly blocked Shangguan Chu's way and looked at the person in front of him thoughtfully.
"Are you Shangguan Chu? Or Shangguan Chu's sister?"
Shangguan Chu's heart trembled when she heard Liu Mochen's voice. She knew that she was now dressed as a woman and did not want to implicate Wan Shufang, so she agreed: "Yes, I am Shangguan Chu's sister, Shangguan Qing."
"Who are you?" She pretended to be calm, raised her head, and there was just the right amount of confusion in her eyes.
"Haha, I'm Liu Mochen, Sister Shangguan, you can call me Brother Mochen." Liu Mochen approached Shangguan Chu and teased him without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Shangguan Chu's face instantly turned cold, pretending to be sharp-tongued and fierce, and glared at him fiercely: "Liu Mochen?"
"That famous dandy, the best dandy in the city. I am not worthy of being your sister."
Having said that, Shangguan Chu was about to bypass him and leave. Listening to her unique way of cursing, Liu Mochen immediately became interested.
His whole body revealed a hint of excitement, and he held his folding fan in front of Shangguan Chu, blocking her way again.
"Sister Shangguan is very eloquent. It's rare to see such a wonderful person."
"I like it better."
Seeing that he was becoming more and more out of control, Shangguan Chu chuckled and stepped on the back of his foot, crushing it hard with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to crush his foot.
"Ahhh, let go."
Liu Mochen pushed her away and quickly took a step back, crying in pain and gasping for breath.
"My mother told me not to play with playboys, for fear that they would lead me astray. Mr. Liu, a good dog does not block the road. Please get out of the way." Shangguan Chu's face was full of smiles, but his words were blunt.
With such a beautiful face, Liu Mochen felt ashamed of himself for being insulted with such sweet words, and his face turned red.
The instep of his foot was in severe pain. He clenched his fists and was about to speak, but Shangguan Chu didn't even look at him and turned away.
