Chapter 176: Unexpected

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ever since they learned how to ride a horse, they did not need anyone to send them to school. The two little boys didn’t want their grandfather to be so tired traveling back and forth. Actually, Grandpa Chu did not mind, but knowing that his two grandsons were expressing their filial piety, he agreed. In any case, Fu Bao would protect them and not let them fall.

When they arrived at the school, Chu Xuyuan got off the horse first and reached out to catch Chu Xuyao. “Hold my hand before you jump.”

When Chu Xuyao heard this, he felt that he was the weaker one and did not like this feeling. “Got it, Seventh Brother.”

The brothers finally got off the horse.

Chu Xuyuan reached out and patted Fu Bao on the head. “Go back.”

Tap, tap, tap. The tall horse neighed and quickly ran away.

Someone bumped into Chu Xuyao and knocked him to the ground. His palm was bleeding, and he gasped in pain. “Hiss…”

Tan Maozhi was distracted just now and accidentally bumped into Chu Xuyao. He quickly helped him up and apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

Tan Maozhi was Tan Xueqing’s cousin and the eldest son of the second branch of the Tan family.

Chu Xuyuan held Chu Xuyao’s hand to check and said with heartache, “It’s bleeding. What should we do?”

Tan Maozhi said apologetically, “I know a senior brother who practices mediciner. I’ll bring you there to bandage the wound.”

Chu Xuyuan quickly said, “Then let’s go.”

Tan Maozhi carried Chu Xuyao and walked into the school…

The three of them came to the medical building. “Senior Brother Song, Junior Brother’s hand is injured. Can you bandage it?”

Seeing that blood was coming out of Chu Xuyao’s palm, Song Qingyuan agreed without hesitation. “Sure, put him down.”

Tan Maozhi put Chu Xuyao on the stool. “Sit here and let Senior Brother Song bandage you.”

Chu Xuyao thanked him. “Thank you, Senior Brother.”

There were some other students in the medical building. When they saw the two little fellows, they surrounded them.

Everyone was wearing the same white student uniform. When they were gathered together, it was especially dazzling.

Song Qingyuan placed the necessary items on the tray and placed it on the table. “How did you hurt your hand?”

Tan Maozhi said in embarrassment, “1 accidentally bumped into him.” As he spoke, he yawned, looking extremely sleepy.

Chu Xuyao noticed that Tan Maozhi’s eyes were bloodshot and there were black circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he did not sleep well. “Senior Brother, go back and rest. My Seventh Brother can take care of me here. It’ll be fine.”

Tan Maozhi was really sleepy, so he did not refuse. “My dorm is the fifth room in the third row. If you need anything, you can come and find me.”

Chu Xuyao nodded. “Alright.”

Tan Maozhi yawned and walked away.

When he passed by, two students sneezed a few times. There was the pungent smell of rouge on him.

“Tan Maozhi must have stayed up late again last night.”

“Doesn’t he get bored of staying in a brothel all day long?”

“Who knows? Perhaps he likes doing that kind of thing. 1 heard that it’s quite enjoyable. Women from the brothel are good at serving people. It’s normal for him to get addicted.”

Song Qingyuan cleared his throat and reminded them, “We have junior brothers here. Mind your language.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Junior Brothers, you don’t understand what we were talking about, right?”

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao shook their heads in confusion.

The few of them heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good, that’s good. Junior brothers, after you are done bandaging the wound. 1’11 send you to the class.”

The two of them said gratefully, “Thank you, Senior brothers.”

“You’re welcome. You’re welcome.”

As Song Qingyuan treated Chu Xuyao’s wound, he asked, “Are you Chu Xuyao?”

Chu Xuyao was a little surprised. “How did you know?”

Song Qingyuan pointed at the jade pendant Chu Xuyao was wearing. It was a norm among the scholars to wear a jade pendant. The jade pendant was not expensive and had their name engraved on the back. Coincidentally, the side with the name on it was facing outward.

Chu Xuyao smiled, revealing his white teeth. “Senior brother, why are you suddenly asking me that?”

Song Qingyuan asked with anticipation, “Do you know Chu Qingzhi?”

Chu Xuyao blinked and thought to himself, What a coincidence. “She’s my fifth sister. Why?”

Song Qingyuan’s eyes lit up and he said excitedly, “Is she your biological sister?”

Chu Xuyao nodded affirmatively. “Yes.”

“That’s great.” Song Qingyuan was excited. “It’s widely spread in the county city that her medical skills are outstanding. I’ve discussed with the school and want to invite Miss Chu to teach us for a day. She doesn’t have to teach us new knowledge. We’ll be satisfied if she can answer some of our questions. Do you think we can invite her?”

Chu Xuyao touched his chin. This was his habit when he was thinking. “My fifth sister is very easy to talk to, but if you want to invite her, you have to see if she has time. If she has time, she probably won’t refuse.”

Song Qingyuan was slightly relieved. “Xuyao, can you wait for me after school?

I want to go and talk to your fifth sister.”

Considering that Song Qingyuan had helped him bandage the wound, Chu Xuyao agreed readily. “Sure, I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the school.”

Song Qingyuan hoped that time would pass quickly. “Xuyao, thank you.”

Chu Xuyao shook his head. “Senior brother, you’re welcome.”

In the Chu Village.

An unexpected person came to the Chu Village. It was his first time here. As soon as he entered the village, everyone looked at him, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Chu Junbao, a child from the village, walked over and raised his head to look at him. “Who are you looking for?”

Chu Zhongyuan looked around. “I’m looking for Chu Qingzhi. Is she around?”

Chu Junbao sized up Chu Zhongyuan. He was dressed quite well and did not look like a bad person. “Why are you looking for her?”

Chu Zhongyuan said anxiously, “I have something to tell her.”

Chu Junbao turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs. “Sister Qingzhi, someone is looking for you!”

Chu Qingzhi was bathing Fu Bao and Hou Fu.

When she heard Chu Junbao’s voice, she thought that a business was coming and walked out. She did not expect to see someone she did not want to see at all.

Her attitude was cold. “What are you doing here?”

Chu Zhongyuan looked at Chu Qingzhi, who had changed beyond recognition, and felt vexed and regretful. He hated Wang Peifang even more for chasing Chu Qingzhi home.

He gave her a fatherly smile. “Qingzhi, I’m your father. I’m here to see you.”

Chu Qingzhi pointed in the direction of the wheat field. “My father is cutting wheat there. Whose father are you?”

Chu Zhongyuan’s face turned red in embarrassment. He wanted to escape, but he couldn’t. If he left, he wouldn’t lose this opportunity to get close to Chu Qingzhi.

“Qingzhi, it wasn’t me who chased you home back then. Don’t hate me so much!”

If he wanted to ask for forgiveness, he should go to the netherworld to find the dead Chu Qingzhi, not her. Chu Qingzhi crossed her arms and was filled with coldness.. “What’s the matter? If there is nothing else, get lost!”
