Lifesaving Benefactor
“He is older than me, but I have seniority over him.”
After returning to Marquis Gu’s Manor and ensuring that Su YunYan’s condition had stabilized, everyone began to ask about Kun WuShang.
Yu Fu spoke earnestly and with a hint of pride, “We disciples of Immortals Valley have been learning in the valley from a young age. He only came a few years ago. Master said that the people of Western Kun came to learn in order to deal with people of Eastern Ling. Master has remained neutral and has not done much to look after students with such intentions. Even if he is the seventh prince of Western Kun, he is just a lackey in the valley.”
“Pft.”
Gu Yi nearly spat out a mouthful of tea, “Little Yu Fu, your master is truly too interesting! It’s no wonder I heard second brother say that that you appeared quite mighty in front of the seventh prince! It’s a pity that I didn’t get to see it. It’s all Teacher Lin’s fault. Of all the times to hold us back! He just had to do it today, which led to me missing this great scene!”
He had never seen Yu Fu get serious. He heard that she became extremely strict upon becoming serious, which was completely unlike her usual lively self.
“When YunYan wakes up later, if she finds out that you wanted to see her get bitten by a venomous snake, she will definitely be sure to “thank” you properly.”
Gu JiuGe sipped tea while looking sideways at Gu Yi, his eyes shining with a glimmer.
“Yu Fu, you and the seventh prince… Did you really only meet in Immortals Valley?”
Gu Xiang asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.
A few days earlier, Gu HuaiJiang discovered that his sons trained in martial arts had suddenly become very interested in reading.
They all liked to sneak into the outer study. If they found anything related to Western Kun, they would be taken out to be studied. They truly were quite studious.
He knew that everyone was suspecting one thing and wanted a way to verify it.
That one thing was Yu Fu’s identity.
Was she, or was she not someone from Western Kun. If she was, which family’s young miss was she?
“That’s right. We first met in Immortals Valley. What’s wrong?”
Yu Fu did not know that everyone was speculating about her identity, and she replied without any hesitation. There was no chance that this was a lie.
“Then why did you just send him off after saving Su YunYan? It seemed that you were very worried that he would say something to us.”
Yu Fu: “…”
She was indeed worried.
But what she was worried about was different from what the others thought she was worried about. She was worried that Kun WuShang would accidentally leak her true identity.
Well, looking at Yu Fu’s reaction, even if Kun WuShang already knew her, he might not know her identity.
Forget it.
Since she did not want to reveal it, they did not want to force her to reveal it.
“Lord Marquis, the young miss has woken up!”
Qi Zhou suddenly rushed in from outside the courtyard, and Gu HuaiJiang quickly stood up upon hearing this, “I’ll go take a look.”
“I’m also going!”
Gu Yi also rushed to follow behind him, and everyone looked at him strangely.
“How strange, haven’t you always been on bad terms with YunYan? When the two of you are together, you’re always arguing so noisily. Why are you so worried about her now?”
Gu Xiang clearly knew something and smiled wickedly, deliberately making him look bad in front of everyone.
Gu Yi put an embarrassed expression, “What are you saying! She is our cousin. No matter how bad things are, we need to worry about her life!”
He then ran out, very obviously trying to hide something. He was worried that his older brothers would laugh at him.
Sure enough, a round of laughter erupted behind him.
“I see that sixth brother has some feelings for YunYan. He’s just too scared to admit it. The two of them have been arguing and fighting since childhood, but it’s clear that there are feelings between the two.”
“That’s right, let’s also go and take a look!”
Saying this, everyone followed along and headed toward Lotus Courtyard.
In the inner room, Madam Su lay next to the bed, her face slightly pale.
When everyone entered the room, they saw Su YunYan laying on the bed with a mauve bed curtain covering half of her face. On the half of her face that was exposed, her complexion was not bad.
The venom must no longer be a problem. It was just that she had not yet woken up.
“Aunty, you have not yet fully recovered. You should go back and rest.”
Everyone began pleading with Madam Su, but she gently shook her head, “It’s just a chronic illness. It’s not a big problem. I’m going to wait here for YunYan to wake up. Only like this can I feel at ease.”
In the group, she saw Yu Fu standing next to Gu ShuBai, and her eyes lit up a little.
Gu ShuBai thought to himself that this was not good. Yu Fu’s methods for treating Su YunYan looked quite vicious. Madam Su would not be thinking of blaming her, right?
“Yu Fu, come over here.”
Sure enough, Madam Su waved to her.
Before anyone could stop her, Yu Fu had already begun walking over.
“Madam Su, the situation today required expedience, and I could only use a risky method to treat sister Su’s condition. Please do not think poorly…”
“What sort of thing are you saying? Could it be that I am such an unreasonable person to you?”
Madam Su cut her off, but her tone was warmer than it had ever been before.
She pulled Yu Fu into a hug, and a pair of warm tears streamed down her face.
“You are YunYan’s lifesaving benefactor. If YunYan did not survive, I too could not live on. We have not treated you kindly, yet you saved YunYan’s life. How should I thank you?”
As a woman of noble birth who had experienced many things in life and endured many hardships, she was very practiced in not letting her emotions show.
To allow tears to fall in front of Yu Fu, it could be seen just how grateful she felt.
Having been pulled into her embrace, Yu Fu could smell the scent of jasmine flower in her hair and suddenly felt very nostalgic.
This was the smell of her mother.
She smiled and shook her head, “This was something that I should do. Sister Su treated me very well! She was the one who invited me to go out. It was only because of this that I had a chance to save her!”
