Su Han and Zhifen were covered in wounds. Zhifen cried so hard that her voice was hoarse. She lay on Su Hanâs body and shielded her from many wounds, but Su Hanâs skin was still bruised and stained with blood.
Su Han was drenched in cold water, and she was tortured. It took her a while to stand up.
She and Zhifen helped each other back to the courtyard. When the servants in the princeâs mansion saw her like this, their hearts ached. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Some of them remembered Su Hanâs kindness and sent some hot food and golden wound medicine to her room.
Su Han returned to the door and brought the items in.
She was a thoughtful person. She looked at the door where no one could be seen and said with a smile, âThank you.â
In the darkness of the door, there were moving footsteps.
Zhifen entered the room with tears in her eyes. âMiss, youâve been hungry for the whole day. Hurry up and eat first.â
âYou can eat together.â Su Han carried the dishes out. Her fair hands were so thin that only a layer of skin covered her bones, which made peopleâs hearts ache.
Zhifen ate some with Su Han and was about to apply medicine for her.
It was the hardest time to apply the medicine every night. The wound on Su Hanâs abdomen had long been inflamed, and she had a high fever a few nights ago. Fortunately, Su Han was determined and survived. She also had the golden wound medicine made from the Blood Clotting Grass that Su Yingxue had given her. It was very effective in stopping bleeding, diminishing inflammation, and relieving pain.
Su Hanâs body didnât collapse completely because of the medicine.
However, every time Zhifen finished applying medicine to her, she would sigh. âMiss, when will these days end? Could it be that Miss is going to live a life worse than death in the Regional Princeâs Mansion for the rest of her life?â
Su Han shook her head. âIt wonât take long.â
In her eyes, the light danced. Even if it was just a small flame, it was her hope.
Zhifen pouted. âi donât think so! Your Highness is so heartless. Not only does he taunt you with his words every day, but he also makes you serve tea and do the dirty and tiring work that servants do. If it wasnât for Miss being generous to others in Regional Princeâs Mansion, and the servants not daring to bully and insult, and mostly helping us, how could young miss âbody withstand it?â
âBesides, Madam Sheng comes here every day to scold and beat you. Not only did she scold you, but she also tortured you like this. Miss, do you have any good spots on you? If Master and Madam knew about this, how would their hearts ache?â Zhifen cried.
âI canât let Father and Mother know about this, and Yingxue too. Theyâll be sad, and theyâll stand up for me. At that time, the conflict between our two families will be even greater.â Su Han was understanding.
There was no one in her heart who did not hate Madam Sheng.
Madam Sheng had never been nice to her despite her compromise.
But she knew that Madam Sheng would grow old eventually. The person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with was Chu Xiaotian, not Madam Sheng.
As long as she could appease Chu Xiaotian and make him calm down, they would still be husband and wife in the future.
She would still live happily with Chu Xiaotian.
âMiss, do you love Your Highness that much?â Zhifen could tell that Su Han wasnât someone without a temper.
She could tolerate Min Jia County Lord and Madam Sheng until now because she loved Chu Xiaotian and did not have any conflicts with them.
But how much love was there for her to endure so much pain and torture?
Su Han thought of Chu Xiaotian, and a smile appeared on her pretty face. âI love Your Highness very much. Even if he reprimands me now and makes me do hard work, 1 know that he canât bear it. After some time, when heâs no longer angry, heâll still treat me like before, and heâll love me even more..â
