Chapter 965: Chapter 965: 963: His Heart Is Forever with Su Yingxue

“She agrees, I continue, to protect you,”

Zi Wei enunciated each word, with a serious and sincere expression in her eyes. The purple at the corners of her eyes still emitted that same piercing glow, everything was just as it had always been.

Su Yingxue’s heart skipped a beat. “She agreed?”

How could this possibly look like something a woman would agree to?

Accompanied by Zi Wei, Su Yingxue visited Yue Lian’s residence in Jiang Du City herself.

When Yue Lian saw Su Yingxue arrive with Zi Wei and a large box of dowry gifts, she was quite surprised and immediately treated her as an honored guest.

After hearing about the matters that needed verification at the Marquis’s Manor, Yue Lian smiled and said, “If the Ninth Princess Consort has a need, my husband can serve you at any time.”

“Do you really not mind? You two are married, yet you still let him work for me?” Yue Lian too was an oddity, as unique as Zi Wei.

On Yue Lian’s delicate face, a genuine smile blossomed. “The Yue Family is a successor to the Qianji Sect, and the Qianji Sect is a jianghu sect. People of the jianghu hold honor and loyalty in the highest regard. Doesn’t the Ninth Princess Consort understand this? And Zi Wei, he is originally your man, so what’s the harm? I have some matters to attend to in Jiang Du City myself, and can’t accompany my husband every day. It would be good to assist the Ninth Princess Consort.”

Her straightforward speech greatly reassured Su Yingxue. She stood up, bowed to Yue Lian, “With this, I thank Miss Yue Lian for her generous spirit. Once the matter at the Marquis’s Manor is resolved, I will personally bring Zi Wei back to you. If he still shows you a poker face, I’ll punch him!”

As Su Yingxue spoke, she playfully thumped Zi Wei lightly.

Zi Wei pursed her lips, as if to conceal something, not letting Su Yingxue see.

However, Yue Lian carefully observed that his lips slightly relaxed—a sign of happiness.

He was just afraid of Su Yingxue noticing, that’s all.

Yue Lian’s heart quivered dramatically, but her face showed great joy. “Thank you, Ninth Princess Consort. Just, please ensure his safety. His old injuries are severe and he refuses treatment from other doctors. I leave this concern in your good hands.”

“Certainly!”

Su Yingxue immediately promised. She had cured the poison in Zi Wei’s body, but she could guess that, with his years of being an assassin, riddled with suspicion, it would be very difficult for him to accept treatment from strangers.

This was just the opportunity for her to fully take care of his health.

And then there was that burn scar on his face…

Chu Yihan had said that during the blaze at Silver Moon Pavilion, Zi Wei had stood right inside, letting the fire sear him, and ended up covered in burns.

If she couldn’t heal him, she would be restless for the rest of her life!

After agreeing with Yue Lian, Su Yingxue took Zi Wei and left.

Before Zi Wei departed, he said to Yue Lian, “Thank you.”

Yue Lian chuckled lightly, “No need for thanks, as long as you’re happy. The Ninth Princess Consort is highly skilled in medicine, she will surely heal you. If you ever need anything, feel free to come back to me.”

“I will,” he replied.

Zi Wei left a trail of his words behind as he quickly vanished.

Yue Lian couldn’t even keep up with his shadow.

She stood under the gallery, the bright moonlight shining on her green dress, setting off her pretty and fair face with radiance.

She sighed helplessly, “You really do love her very much.”

He spoke two sentences to her tonight!

“Miss, why do you torment yourself? The young master’s heart has never been with you. To win his heart, you must cultivate the relationship over time, and make him forget the Ninth Princess Consort! By letting him go with her now, what good will come of it? How will he ever focus his affections on you in the future?”

Chen Shu, the steward who had raised Yue Lian, shook his head anxiously.
