Chapter 67 It is my responsibility to save you
Liu Yu looked at Master Chen San who was walking in front of her, and her nose felt sour. The things he showed the prince were so important that he let her go without saying a word.
This kind of thing, for a big family like the Chen family, could be the bargaining chip to save the family at a critical moment, but it was used just for her, and Mr. Chen San had to clean up the mess for the prince.
What should she give him in return?
Feeling the gazes behind him always on him, Mr. Chen San sighed helplessly. He stopped and turned to look at her.
"You don't have to feel bad. I am your husband and you are mine. No matter what it takes, I should save you."
How did he know what she was thinking?
"The word self-blame is written all over your face!" Mr. Chen San was a little helpless.
This silly girl has never asked for anything since she followed him, let alone bothered him. She solved and endured everything silently on her own.
And just now, the way she told him not to care about her really made him angry and distressed.
"Oh, is there?" Liu Yu subconsciously touched his face, as if he really wanted to confirm whether there was any writing on his face.
Mr. Chen was amused by her rare cute look:
"Just kidding, Yu'er. Think about it. If it weren't for you, Xiyao would have been taken away by the prince to who knows where, and her reputation would have been ruined. I just used some intelligence to exchange you out. It's obvious who paid more!"
"Besides, you got involved because of Xiyao. If there is any debt, it should be owed to you by my Chen family."
Liu Yu hurriedly shook her head, twisted her skirt with her fingers, and murmured: "I am also a member of the Chen family."
"Yes! You are a member of the Chen family, so you are still blaming yourself." Mr. Chen San has never been happier than he is now. He took a few steps closer to Liu Yu and handed her the torch in his hand: "Take it."
Liu Yu took it obediently: "What are you going to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the world spun around and Liu Yu was lifted up and held in his arms.
Liu Yu screamed, his face turned red, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
"Third Master, please let me down."
Mr. Chen ignored her and looked at her ankle. Her originally fair skin was now red and slightly swollen.
"Thank you, Yu'er." He looked distressed: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Liu Yu tugged at the hem of her skirt and said with a nonchalant smile:
"Xiyao is also very good to me. How could I ignore her when I know she is in danger? Besides, Xiyao is the Third Master's sister. I can't just stand by and watch."
Mr. Chen San felt a tightness in his chest, even though he knew that what she did was right.
But whenever he thought of her putting herself in danger in order to save others, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
"Yu'er, promise me that no matter who it is, you will not put yourself in danger, even if it's me, okay?"
Feeling his tense body and strong arms, Liu Yu nodded obediently:
"it is good."
As they were talking, Uncle Chen San, holding Liu Yu, had already reached the edge of the pine forest. Looking out from afar, they saw people outside the forest, all holding torches, and three layers of people surrounding the forest.
Liu Yu began to struggle:
"Wait, Third Master, put me down!"
"Hmm?" Master Chen San stopped and looked down at her in his arms.
Mr. Chen San suddenly wanted to tease her. He laughed out loud and said in a magnetic voice:
"Yu'er is my woman, and I want everyone to know it."
"No, a gentleman has no authority if he does not respect himself. Third Master, please let me go." Liu Yu refused resolutely.
Mr. Chen San was a gentleman, and she didn't want him to be labeled a playboy because of her.
Uncle Chen laughed and shook his head, but he still bent down and put Liu Yu down, but not because it would affect himself.
But her reputation must not have any stain, so that if he can make her a success in the future, there will be less trouble and obstacles.
The two of them came out of the pine forest one after the other. Chen Xiyao, who was waiting at the exit of the pine forest, was the first to see them.
She rushed over and hugged Liu Yu tightly without saying anything, tears streaming down her face:
"Yu'er, I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay..."
If Yu'er really gets into trouble because of this, she will blame herself to death.
"I'm fine! Xiyao, don't cry. There are so many people watching."
Liu Yu hugged her back.
Chen Xiyao did not suspect anything and immediately pulled Liu Yu away. She looked her up and down, and only stopped crying after making sure that she was not injured.
Seeing Liu Yu deliberately tuck her feet under her skirt, Mr. Chen San pointed it out directly:
"Madame Liu's feet are swollen, Xiyao, please support her."
As he said this, he handed Liu Yu to Chen Xiyao, and whispered in Liu Yu's ear: "Wait for me." Then he walked towards Yuzhang Hou who was waiting on the side.
"Brother Chongyang, thank you for your help today." Mr. Chen San bowed to express his gratitude.
Yuzhang Hou patted Master Chen San on the shoulder and said, "Haha, Brother Zhihe, we have been friends for many years, there is no need to thank each other."
"So, Brother Chongyang doesn't want that jar of Shaodaozi anymore?" A cunning light flashed in Mr. Chen San's eyes. He turned and walked up to Jingzhao Yin and explained what happened today. It was actually a misunderstanding. Liu Yu and the others just got separated and lost their way in this pine forest.
What the truth is is not something that Jingzhao Prefecture can dig out. Jingzhao Prefecture has to do whatever Mr. Chen San says. They quickly agreed and left with the yamen runners.
He turned around and explained something to Master Chen Wu. Master Chen Wu nodded and quickly retreated with two secret guards.
Yuzhang Hou jumped up and down:
"Sanwaizi, you are a cunning ghost. That is what you promised me. If you dare not give it to me, I will go to your house and cry at your door every day." He raised his fist and chased after Mr. Chen Sanye and the others.
Smiles appeared on Liu Yu and Chen Xiyao's faces.
Master Chen tilted his head to avoid the blow from behind him and said seriously:
"Zhu Chongyang, a gentleman should use his mouth instead of his fists."
"Why would I bother to talk to you, you good talker? My principle is to solve problems that can be solved with fists, why waste your breath?"
……
Soon, Master Chen Wu pulled a carriage, and Liu Yu and Chen Xiyao got on. They parted ways with Yuzhang Marquis's men, and were escorted to Chen's house by the two Chen brothers and secret guards.
When they returned to Chen's house, it was already dawn. Mr. Chen Sanye escorted Liu Yu all the way back to Qinyuanju.
The three maids' eyes turned red when they saw Liu Yu's miserable appearance.
Mr. Chen San ordered them to get some hot water in an orderly manner.
After Guyu helped Liu Yu take a bath,
Mr. Chen San brought a swelling-reducing plaster from Tingzhuxuan, personally carried Liu Yu to the couch, and applied the plaster to her.
Liu Yu was exhausted after escaping last night and dealing with the prince. In a daze, she felt a chill on her ankles. She thought it was Guyu's maids, so she fell into a deep sleep without even opening her eyes.
At this time, it was less than an hour before the court session. After serving, Master Chen San asked Guyu to take good care of Liu Yu. He did not stop, changed into court clothes, and went straight to the court session.
