137 The Secret
Chen Zhuzhu immediately understood what Su Binglan meant. Her face turned pale as she said, “I know, and I won’t tell anyone. I will not drag you into my family matters. Still, I was already being careful. I don’t understand what’s happening to me.”
Su Binglan said faintly, “Have you been suffering from heart palpitations and insomnia recently? Is that why you’ve been using calming incense? Stop using them.”
Chen Zhuzhu stiffened. “Is there something wrong with the incense?”
Su Binglan smiled faintly but did not comment.
The little girl looked at Su Binglan with a shocked expression as she felt conflicted. She thought she had underestimated Su Binglan since the young lady possessed hidden abilities.
She knew Su Binglan’s medical skills and diagnosis were things an ordinary person would not have. Even the famous Doctor Wu could not compare to Su Binglan.
The little girl said solemnly, “Thank you, Su Binglan. I will never forget the kindness you’ve shown me. I will repay my debts to you.”
Chen Zhuzhu understood she would have died if it were not for Su Binglan. Moreover, no one would suspect the Chens if she died on the streets.
The incident had nothing to do with the little girl aimlessly roaming the streets. Indeed, she was innocent, but Chen Zhuzhu survived. Since that was the case, the little girl knew to live her life to the fullest. She had been foolish in the past.
Su Binglan noticed the change in Chen Zhuzhu’s expression. She knew the little girl was not stupid but did not want to make a fuss about it. One needed time to grow up, after all.
Su Binglan asked, “Where’s your servant girl, Little Cui? Why isn’t she around?” Her words were like a reminder to Chen Zhuzhu as the little girl knew something seemed off about Little Cui.
Chen Zhuzhu moved closer to Su Binglan and said, “That lady from the capital must’ve gotten involved. I’m about to reach a marriageable age, so my grandmother arranged for someone to bring me back to the capital. However, someone there doesn’t want me to return, so they took action.”
Su Binglan appeared to be in deep thought. ‘The capital?!’
Chen Zhuzhu lowered her head and said, “Hmm. I don’t want to go back either because I heard it’s chaotic. Many places are at war there, but I have no choice but to return. I’ll die if I don’t. Still, I’ll have a chance of survival with my grandma around.”
Chen Zhuzhu talked much with Su Binglan as she had never told these things to anyone else. Since Su Binglan had saved her life, the little girl trusted her and felt she could tell Su Binglan anything.
Chen Zhuzhu’s words confirmed to Su Binglan that things were not peaceful. She was mainly concerned about her two brothers and wondered if they could return home safely since wars were happening there.
…
The Su family had sold all their tofu in the morning. Afterward, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin busied themselves with making more.
When afternoon came, Su Fengmao, Li Shi, and Zhou Shan went to the dessert shop to help. Since enough people were around to look after the dessert shop, Su Binglan called her husband and said, “Come with me to Blue Mountain Academy.”
Luo Jin’an’s body stiffened when he heard the academy’s name.
His wife explained, “I’m going to arrange for Xuexuan and Xuehai to attend the academy, but I heard they have strict rules. I want to meet with their principal to understand what they are. It would be best if I can complete the admission procedures so the two little ones can attend the academy.”
She could handle it herself but wanted Luo Jin’an to follow her.
Luo Jin’an put down the wooden plate in his hand, looked at his wife, and asked, “Why do you want me to come along?”
Su Binglan always thought her husband’s gaze was too alluring and that he could always see through her thoughts. Of course, she tried to hide them, so she smiled lightly and said, “Well, because you’re my husband. If you don’t follow me, who will?”
