Chapter 93: Ou Lu’s Misfortune

“Bang, bang…”

Chen Xin finished dressing, and as soon as she finished drying her hair, she heard a knock on the door.

She immediately said lightly, “Come in.”

As she tidied her clothes, she felt the raised feather embroidery pattern on her purple robe. She was slightly stunned and took a closer look. The stitches were delicate and tight, obviously done with a lot of effort. And this robe looked familiar. If she wasn’t mistaken, it should be the one Xiao Yuer embroidered a few days ago.

Actually, ever since there was extra silver at home, it seemed that every piece of clothing or shoes she wore was made by him personally. He always said it was better for the person he liked to wear clothes made by his own hands.

The ones bought outside were made by other men, so he wasn’t stupid. Thinking about this, her eyes overflowed with a smile. She was both happy and reluctant to let him bother, which was a contradictory feeling.

“Ah Xin? What are you daydreaming about?” Ou Lu entered the room and saw Chen Xin standing there motionless. She walked up and patted her shoulder.

As Chen Xin was startled back to reality by the pat, her heart skipped a beat. She immediately looked around the room sharply and grabbed the hand behind her that had patted her shoulder.

She was about to use a shoulder throw, but she heard Ou Lu behind her wincing in pain, “Ouch… Ah Xin, it’s me, Ou Lu.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin awkwardly released her grip. She felt annoyed with herself. She hadn’t noticed someone approaching so closely. If it had been an enemy, she would have been dead in an instant. Just thinking about it made her shiver with fear. For Xiao Yu’er’s sake, she now cherished her life tightly. She secretly vowed not to make such a mistake again.

She pressed her eyebrows and turned around to apologize to Ou Lu. She was well aware of how much force she had used just now.

Indeed, seeing her rubbing her wrist with bruised marks and looking at her with a pitiful expression, Chen Xin felt a little guilty and said, “Sorry…”

But before Chen Xin could finish, Ou Lu hurriedly interrupted, “Ah Xin, this isn’t your fault, and you don’t need to blame yourself.”

She saw Chen Xin’s expression and knew what she wanted to say when she opened her mouth. For someone like Ah Xin, who looked elegant and beautiful, making her apologize felt really uncomfortable. To be honest, if she were in Ah Xin’s shoes, she would have reacted the same way. A family member who suddenly patted her on the shoulder while thinking about something would have been caught off guard even if she was hit.

Chen Xin forced a smile, feeling awkward that the other person hurriedly stopped her from apologizing. However, the ice in her eyes melted slightly. She understood her kind intentions.

Yes, even though Ou Lu had helped her and followed her all the way to Qusi City, she still regarded her as a stranger and remained vigilant. Don’t forget, she was still the enemy of the Empress, the most powerful figure in the capital. She saved An Xue and An Ji, and even killed the royal guards!

Although she could ensure that there was no evidence left at that time, and Ou Lu might not have had any ulterior motives in approaching her, she still didn’t have much fondness for the capital. It was only natural to be cautious.

Turning around, she rummaged in her bag and found her self-made medicinal powder. Walking back, she handed it to Ou Lu and said, “It’s for dispersing bruises and reducing swelling. Apply it and massage.”

Ou Lu took it, poured some on and rubbed it in. Looking at Chen Xin with a fox-like smile again, she said, “Thank you, Ah Xin. This medicine is really effective. Hmm, it doesn’t hurt as much anymore?!” Then, she exclaimed in surprise.

“Since it’s so effective, where can I buy this medicine?”

Seeing that she really liked it, Chen Xin smiled and said, “I made it myself. If you like it, take it. Consider it my apology.”

Upon hearing this, Ou Lu patted Chen Xin’s shoulder again, “So you also understand pharmacology! You’re enough of a sister.”

However, it happened to be the injured hand again, and Ou Lu suddenly realized with hindsight that she was unlucky.

Chen Xin was speechless. What kind of habit was this shoulder patting? Then she slowly walked to the table and sat down, watching the waiter steadily bring in dishes.

Half-seriously, she said, “I think you need to change the habit of patting people on the shoulder. It can make get injured twice a today, showing like that it’s not a good habit.”
