Chapter 30: He’s a Good Man
“By the way, who were those two herbalists you mentioned? Since they saved Xier (Sister Xi), the Bai manor should send them a gift!”
Hearing Yun Moyi ask about the herbalists, Banxia looked at her blankly and replied, “I don’t know. The wild boar was seriously injured when it escaped, and the hunter agreed that since they saved people, the boar was theirs. The two men followed the boar’s tracks and chased after it.”
Yun Moyi secretly noted this in her mind. She looked at the full table of food, remembering Bai Jinxi’s vomiting, and she really couldn’t eat anything.
“Forget it, Xier is feeling unwell, and I’m not in the mood to eat either. All these dishes haven’t been touched, give them to the servants in the courtyard to eat.”
After saying that, she left with Tiandong.
“See Madam Yun off!” Banxia bowed to see her off.
Yun Moyi walked out of Yuxiu Zhai with a dark face, and Tiandong didn’t dare to breathe.
Every time Yun Moyi was put in her place by Bai Jinxi, she would vent her anger privately. Others say Yun Moyi is gentle and kind, but they haven’t seen her private side. She’s just a crazy woman! Tiandong thought to herself.
Yun Moyi suddenly stopped, turning her head sharply, which startled Tiandong.
She pondered for a moment and instructed, “Tiandong, tonight after you return to Yuxiu Zhai, find out about the two herbalists, see if you can find them, and also find out if Bai Jinxi’s illness is real. Oh, and did she eat that bowl of ice cream? Give me a report tomorrow morning.”
Seeing that they had gone far, Banxia immediately ran to the inner room. Miss had really vomited, she wouldn’t be truly sick, would she?
As soon as she entered the inner room, she saw Bai Jinxi lying on the bed, pale and sweating.
Seeing Banxia come in, she gave a weak smile, “I knew they wouldn’t stay long.”
“Miss, how are you? I’ll go get Master Puzhi!” After two months of learning, Bai Jinxi and Banxia had become very familiar with Master Puzhi.
“No need, I just saw those meat dishes, and I… after I vomited, I feel much better.” Bai Jinxi waved her hand weakly, but gently stopped her.
If she invited Master Puzhi now, it would be truly bad, after all, on the surface, she had no connection with Master Puzhi.
She thought for a moment and had Banxia come closer. “You go out and ask a doctor later, but don’t go to Renxin Hall, first confirm my illness. Then, go to Qiao’s Restaurant on the way, find Chu Yi, and tell him this…”
Half an hour later.
“Miss, I… as soon as I got to Qiao’s Restaurant, I just started to speak, and Mr. Chu said he had already taken care of it. He told you to rest well and not worry about anything else.”
After returning to Yuxiu Zhai, Banxia told Bai Jinxi what had happened at Qiao’s Restaurant.
Bai Jinxi’s eyebrows shot up, she gritted her teeth and said, “That bastard, he was eavesdropping on us again!”
Hearing her lady’s words, Banxia exclaimed, “Ah! I felt something was wrong at the time, so that’s it!”
Since Xiao Chuyi said she didn’t have to worry, then there wouldn’t be any problems. He was a prince after all, handling such trivial matters was a piece of cake.
Thinking about this, Bai Jinxi suddenly gasped.
She lowered her voice and whispered a few times, “Anba? If you’re there, show yourself, I have something urgent to tell your master.”
No one appeared for a long time, Bai Jinxi breathed a sigh of relief, “It seems they’re not watching us anymore.”
Banxia finally realized that Miss was testing Anba.
“Miss, this Mr. Chu is really quite good, are you really not considering him?”
Banxia looked at Bai Jinxi, silent for a long time, and then suddenly blurted out this sentence when she was about to stare Bai Jinxi’s hair out.
Bai Jinxi was stunned for a moment. What was this little girl saying? Asking her to consider Xiao Chuyi?!
She frowned and looked at Banxia, questioning her with a scrutinizing look, “Did they say anything to you?”
“No, it’s just that I feel that Miss is very relaxed around him, you can laugh when you want to laugh, and scold when you want to scold. And Mr. Chu is also very good, he looks like a playboy, but today he looked like a completely different person when he was protecting you. When I went to find him just now, Miss wasn’t there, and he was very serious, not smiling at all. It means he’s special to you… and…”
Banxia was listing Xiao Chuyi’s advantages, getting more and more excited, her eyes shining brighter. Her gaze made Bai Jinxi feel that if she didn’t stop her, the little girl would be stuck in some fantasy and wouldn’t wake up.
“Stop, stop, stop! Don’t think too much, he protected me today, but Zhang Ze also protected you, you didn’t even see that.” Bai Jinxi said, glancing towards the outer room. “Speaking of which, you haven’t thanked Zhang Ze yet, have you?”
“Miss, don’t change the subject! I’ll thank him later. I really think Mr. Chu is very suitable for you!”
Banxia was so anxious that she stomped her feet. It was said that Mr. Chu would stay in Liangzhou City for half a year, and two months had already passed. If Miss didn’t hurry, she would miss her chance!
Bai Jinxi’s face turned serious, her dark eyes stared straight at Banxia.
Seeing Banxia shut her mouth in embarrassment and not daring to speak anymore, she softened her expression and said gently.
“Mr. Chu is indeed a good man, but we’re not suitable. You see, he’s very approachable, and it feels like we’re not that different, but you don’t know that his horse, Zhuifeng, costs thousands of taels of silver. He’s worlds apart from us.”
Bai Jinxi continued, “Our Bai family is also a prominent family in Liangzhou City. Even my father doesn’t have a bodyguard, but he’s just one of the heirs of his family, and he has such a powerful bodyguard. Doesn’t that say enough? Mr. Chu helped me because he pitied me, an orphan, and couldn’t bear to watch Yun Moyi and Lu Yian bully me. But if I develop other thoughts because of this, that would be repaying kindness with vengeance.”
Seeing Bai Jinxi’s serious attitude, Banxia knew that Miss had already made up her mind about this matter. It was impossible, and it was impossible. She shouldn’t even consider it. She had been rash.
“Alright, I know you have good intentions, but don’t mention this again, okay?”
Seeing Banxia like a shrinking quail, standing there not daring to make a sound or even look at her, Bai Jinxi sighed slightly.
It wasn’t really Banxia’s fault for thinking this way. Even she… had also wondered if he was different towards her.
But…
Thinking of the revenge from her previous life, Bai Jinxi clenched her fists.
In this life, she just wanted to protect the Bai family and those who were important to her. As for love, it was too luxurious for her. She didn’t want to think about it before revenge.
More importantly, she needed to inherit the Bai family business, so she couldn’t be involved with Prince Yi. What she needed was a husband who could help her in business, who was willing to marry into the Bai family and live in harmony.
Moreover, she thought back to her encounter with Xiao Chuyi…
She had schemed against Xiao Chuyi, so it wasn’t that she owed him a favor, but that he owed her a favor.
Now that she knew Xiao Chuyi wasn’t a bad playboy, she wanted to make up for all of this.
Although she, Bai Jinxi, was not very capable, she could definitely help him!
Thinking of what happened three years later, she smiled gently – the person you care about, I’ll help you protect them.
In this life, she had to find a way to save the person who was most important to him!
