Chapter 491: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (93)
Bai Chao went down the mountain after packing up.
As usual, he went to Jiang Yingchu's residence.
Jiang Yingchu's leg is almost healed and he can now walk without the help of crutches.
"neat."
Bai Chao stood by the door and did not go in.
Jiang Yingchu turned his head when he heard Bai Chao's voice: "Shh, brother, be quiet, mother just fell asleep."
"Ah."
Jiang Yingchu stood up, looked at his mother's condition again, then walked out and closed the door carefully.
She stood at the door, lowered her hand, and sighed with some sorrow: "Mother woke up last night, but the pain from the wound kept her awake, and she just fell asleep now. Brother, can we speak in a lowered voice?"
Bai Chao glanced at the half-open door.
"it is good."
He took out a few pieces of paper covered with words and said, "I brought a few prescriptions that may help relieve mother's pain. Where is that old doctor? I brought all the herbs. Let him prepare the medicine according to the prescription. Mother will definitely get better soon."
Jiang Yingchu's face lit up with joy as he took the prescription and said, "Okay, brother, are these prescriptions really useful?"
Bai Chao nodded: "It works. I specially found a prescription from another famous doctor."
"Oh." Jiang Yingchu flipped through the prescription in his hand.
"Hey, brother, do you think the doctor would mind using someone else's prescription?"
"..."
Bai Chao: "No, the prescription is only for curing illnesses and saving lives, why would the doctor mind?"
"Oh, I see." Jiang Yingchu couldn't understand the prescription. She had never seen some of the herbs before, but her grandfather, the doctor, was knowledgeable and should be able to recognize them, right?
"Then I'll go see the doctor later."
"it is good."
Bai Chao glanced at Jiang Yingchu and suddenly said, "Chuchu, you don't have anyone around to protect you. Do you want me to arrange for secret guards to follow you?"
"what?"
"Brother, didn't I tell you that I really don't need any servants..."
"The secret guards will only appear when you need them. If you don't want to see them, you will never see them in your life."
Jiang Yingchu whispered, "But I don't want secret guards either..."
Secret guards are more troublesome than servants. They always follow people in the dark and stare at others without knowing where they are. They will disturb her and Maoyou even more, leaving them with no private space at all.
This was also the reason why she didn't want secret guards before.
"What about Maoyou?"
"Ah? Maoyou?"
Jiang Yingchu's face was filled with panic for a moment.
Why did brother suddenly mention Maoyou...
"I remember that this person was the one you insisted on choosing."
"Ah... yes... yes." Jiang Yingchu lowered his head feeling a little guilty.
"That Maoyou has some ulterior motives, and I'm not very satisfied with him. But I'm also worried about you and your mother being away without anyone to protect you. Maoyou is the one you chose personally, so if you want..."
"I, I... It's okay, brother. I was actually planning to return the indenture to Maoyou..."
Jiang Yingchu subconsciously didn't want to tell her brother about Maoyou saving her. If her brother found out that Maoyou had other feelings for her, he would definitely not be as willing to let Maoyou follow him as he is now.
Bai Chao frowned. "Selling one's body indenture? Chuchu, he is a secret guard of the Shadow Tower. The signing of a body indenture is a death contract and cannot be returned at will."
Jiang Yingchu was stunned: "Ah? Not allowed?"
"No, the secret guards of Jinghong Villa must be from the villa regardless of life or death."
"Oh alright."
Jiang Yingchu clutched the corner of his clothes tightly.
She couldn't let her brother know that Maoyou had always been by her side...
She hopes Maoyou can regain his freedom and do what he wants in the future.
Jiang Yingchu cleared his throat and raised his head: "Forget it, brother. Anyway, I don't want Maoyou to follow me now. It doesn't matter whether I return the indenture or not."
"...You don't want him to be a secret guard anymore?"
"Hmm..." Jiang Yingchu felt a little guilty. She rarely lied...
"..."
There was silence in the air for a moment.
Jiang Yingchu: "Brother?"
Bai Chao sighed: "Well, that person is indeed not suitable to be a secret guard."
Jiang Yingchu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, brother, I think so too."
Maoyou has a promising future and should not be a servant.
Even though Maoyou is still with her now... she doesn't treat him as a servant. If Maoyou treats her well, she will treat him well too. In the future, they will...
Jiang Yingchu's cheeks felt hot.
I hope my brother won't be angry then, but no matter what, he will always listen to her.
As usual, Bai Chao only stayed in the clinic for a while. After visiting Jiang Yingchu, Bai Chao was ready to leave. Before leaving, he began to give Jiang Yingchu some instructions.
"Chu Chu, your leg injury is almost healed now, so don't go out easily. Just stay in the clinic and take good care of yourself. Don't go anywhere."
"I know, brother."
Jiang Yingchu waved her hand and said goodbye to her brother. Then she gently opened the door and tiptoed into the room.
Jiang Yingchu walked to his mother's bedside and found that her eyes were open.
She quickly squatted down and asked, "Mother, why are you awake?"
"neat……"
Liu Yun was able to speak after waking up, but her voice was a little hoarse, as if she had been sick.
Jiang Yingchu held his mother's hand and said, "Mom, did we wake you up by talking too loudly outside?"
Liu Yun shook her head slightly and said weakly, "Help me up."
"Won't you get some sleep?"
"No."
"it is good."
Jiang Yingchu helped Liu Yun slowly sit up.
Liu Yun leaned against the soft pillow and relaxed: "Chu Chu, was the person outside just now your brother?"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you tell me about it?"
Jiang Yingchu was stunned: "Because you rarely wake up, you fell asleep again when my brother came, so I didn't have time to tell you..."
"Don't let anyone come over here anymore."
"Ah? Why?"
She is very happy every time her brother comes.
As long as her brother was there, she knew she would never suffer the same hardships as before.
My brother can arrange everything for her.
"Chu Chu, be obedient. Next time Lang Yu comes over, close the door tightly and don't let him in."
"Ah this..."
Jiang Yingchu thought that his brother had made his mother unhappy in some way, so he wanted to speak in good words for his brother.
"No, mother, my brother comes to visit us occasionally. He even has someone send us some valuable medicinal herbs, which mother can use..."
"neat."
Liu Yun looked at Jiang Yingchu seriously.
"Don't you listen to your mother?"
"Mother..."
It was the first time that Jiang Yingchu saw her mother being strict with her.
It seems like mother really doesn't want my brother to come over...
"Mother, I will listen to you..."
"That's good."
Jiang Yingchu twitched her fingers, but couldn't help asking, "But why? Mother, my brother is not an outsider..."
Liu Yun coughed a few times and said, "He will definitely tell your father our address and current situation."
"Mother, are you worried about this? Father probably doesn't know yet, otherwise he would definitely come to visit us with my brother."
"It's different. Even if he didn't say it before, he will definitely say it later."
Jiang Yingchu still didn't understand: "But it's okay to tell Daddy..."
Liu Yun's eyes showed a complicated expression, "You don't understand, Chuchu, you still don't understand now..."
Jiang Yingchu didn't know why his mother minded this kind of thing: "If mother didn't want my brother to tell my father about us, wouldn't it be better to tell him the next time he comes?"
"Do not……"
"Mother, my brother can really help us keep our mouths shut. Don't worry, if he doesn't tell, I won't tell either. I will definitely not let Dad worry about us."
"Chu Chu you..."
"Mother, please let my brother come..."
Jiang Yingchu was about to act coquettishly when her mother interrupted her harshly.
"Do you know that your brother is your father's lackey?"
"..."
