Chapter 838: Saving Someone

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Madam is considerate. This old servant will handle it well.”

“Yes, yes.” After Ye Muyu finished speaking, she looked out of the courtyard quietly and nervously.

Beside her, Madam Hu had advised her several times to wait in the house, but she did not listen.

In the end, she could only get someone to find a thin cloak for Ye Muyu to wear, at least to block the wind.

Ye Muyu did not refuse. She was already feeling uneasy because she could not personally pick up Chu Heng and the children back. If she did not see them with her own eyes, she would feel even worse.

Butler Luo saw that there was not even a servant girl by the Ye Muyu’s side. There was only an old woman who had been brought back from the village. His brows furrowed slightly. He already had an idea.

Ye Muyu waited for another 15 minutes. Madam Hu also brought ginger tea over. “Madam, the kitchen has boiled some ginger soup. You should drink some too, lest you catch a cold.”

“No matter how good your body is, it won’t be able to withstand this cold. Madam, you can’t be willful.” As Madam Hu spoke, she blew on the ginger soup to cool it down and fed it to her.

Ye Muyu was too embarrassed to let Madam Hu feed her. Seeing that she could not refuse,s he took the bowl over and drank slowly.

It was not too bad, just a little spicy.

“Why aren’t they back yet?” Ye Muyu asked with a frown after drinking the ginger soup.

“This servant will go and ask Butler Luo. I saw that he just paid the craftsmen, so he should be free.”

After Madam Hu finished speaking, she left quickly without waiting for Ye Muyu’s reply. She also wanted to know the news as soon as possible, but she was afraid that she could not persuade Madam.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she left, Ye Muyu first ordered the servants to bring her sheepskin boots. After changing into her shoes, she picked up the umbrella in the corner and walked out of the manor with it.

Han Zhuang had been protecting her all this while. Seeing this, he could not stop her and quickly called a servant girl to accompany her.

Ye Muyu walked in the rain. There was no one on the street.

She went straight to the academy.

The Chu residence was a little far from the academy, and it was on the furthest street.

She walked all the way but did not see anyone. It was already dark. Other than some lanterns hanging under the eaves, the entire street was dark.

Ye Muyu was not afraid. Walking at night was a small matter. She walked all the way and noticed that her shoes were not wet. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that wearing boots in the rain was very suitable. If it were cloth shoes, they would have been soaked.

“Madam, there seems to be a sound over there.” As soon as he walked out of the street, Han Zhuang paused for a few steps and pointed to the source of the sound. It was a small alley. At this moment, it was dark and seemed to be a servant.

“Go over and take a look.” Ye Muyu said to Han Zhuang after a moment of hesitation.

“Madam, I want to stay by your side to protect you,” Han Zhuang retorted subconsciously.

“It’s fine. You can go over and take a look. I’ll wait for you here. Lil’ Cui is here too.” Lil’ Cui was the servant girl behind her.

The servants in the residence were all servants since they were young, unlike those in the shop who sold themselves for various reasons after they grew up.

“Madam, are there bad people?” Lil’ Cui was a little nervous.

“Let’s take a look first. Don’t be afraid. The security in the county is pretty good. Besides, Han Zhuang’s kung fu is very good.”

Seeing her insistence, Han Zhuang could only go over.

“Madam, someone’s injured,” he called out softly as he approached.

Ye Muyu heaved a sigh of relief. The other party would not be able to hurt anyone if they were injured. She was relieved and walked forward quickly. Sure enough, she saw an adult man unconscious in the alley. Even in the dark, blood could be seen flowing out from under him.

It was likely that his injuries were not light.
