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!”
