Yan Qianqian

Yan Qianqian looked at the steward and instructed, "Uncle Wang, bring the hot water in. Also, please arrange for a servant boy to go in and help serve."

The steward replied respectfully, "Yes, Master, you can rest assured!" He then quickly ordered his subordinates to carry the hot water into the room.

Not only that, in order to provide better service for this distinguished guest, the steward specially selected a clever and quick-witted servant boy to stand by and help.

When the steward walked into the room, his gaze was instantly captured by the person before him.

He saw that although the man was slender, his temperament was extraordinary, like an immortal. His complexion was wheat-colored, his eyebrows and eyes were like ink; beneath his high nose bridge, his lips curled slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Although he wore a plain linen garment, it did not conceal his cold and jade-like temperament at all.

The steward couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "This Young Master, the hot water has already been brought for you. This is Xiao Ding; he is diligent and quick-witted. If you have any needs, you can instruct him to do it."

Ouyang Chengren smiled and thanked the steward, then turned to look at Xiao Ding. Seeing this, Xiao Ding hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully performed a salute.

The servants began pouring steaming buckets of hot water into the bathtub, and soon the entire room was filled with misty steam.

Ouyang Chengren slowly untied his clothes, revealing the hideous knife scar on his chest. Although the wound had scabbed over, if he exerted even a little force, it would probably split open.

He carefully sat into the bathtub, feeling the warmth of the hot water envelop his body, as if all his fatigue was dispelled at this moment.

He closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed this moment of tranquility, then began to bathe seriously.

Meanwhile, Qianqian outside the house was like an ant on a hot pan, anxiously pacing back and forth in place.

Her heart was filled with doubts and unease. Ouyang Chengren was clearly alive and well? So why did her people tell her that Ouyang Chengren had passed away? Where exactly was the problem? Could it be that a traitor had appeared on her side?

The more Qianqian thought about it, the more she felt something was fishy, and she couldn't help but start to worry.

If there really was a traitor, the consequences would be unimaginable!

However, thinking that Ouyang Chengren might have narrowly escaped death back then, her mood eased slightly.

But how did he come to Kyoto? And how did he find her? Was he still injured? These questions surged into her mind one after another, causing Qianqian's eyebrows to furrow tightly.

Thinking of this, Qianqian immediately instructed Wangchen, who was standing by, to invite a doctor over.

She felt Ouyang Chengren might need a doctor's treatment, after all, he had experienced so many things, and his physical condition definitely wasn't good.

At this moment, Luo Shun also heard the news and hurried over.

He had originally been quietly reading in the study when he suddenly heard a clamor from outside, thinking something might have happened.

So he put down the book in his hand, quickly walked out of the study, randomly called over a passing servant, and asked what had happened.

The servant didn't know the specific situation either, only saying that the Master had brought someone back and asked to arrange a bath.

After hearing this, Luo Shun was somewhat curious, so he followed the servant and came to the West Wing Room together. (Luo Shun lived in the East Wing Room, and Qianqian had arranged for Ouyang Chengren to stay in the West Wing Room)

When his gaze fell on the doorway, he unexpectedly discovered Qianqian anxiously pacing back and forth at the entrance.

Seeing this, Luo Shun couldn't help but feel a hint of curiosity in his heart. He quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Qianqian, what's wrong with you? You look so restless."

As soon as Qianqian saw Luo Shun, her previously chaotic thoughts were instantly interrupted. She composed herself and replied, "Oh, it's like this. I have a friend who seems to be injured. I've already sent someone to invite a doctor, but I don't know the specific situation and am a bit worried."

Luo Shun nodded to show he understood. He didn't ask further about the specific situation of this friend, but casually said, "So will he be living here from now on?"

Qianqian hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and then shook her head again, as if she wasn't sure herself.

She said hesitantly, "This... I'm not too sure either. It depends on the recovery of his injuries and subsequent arrangements. Let's wait for the doctor to come and see the specific situation before deciding."

Luo Shun nodded again, feeling that Qianqian's handling was appropriate.

After all, this was Qianqian's residence, and she had the right to decide who could live here. As for himself, he was currently just staying at someone else's home, so naturally he didn't have much say in the arrangements of the residence.

So Luo Shun smiled and said, "Alright then. If there's nothing else, I'll go read my book first. If you need my help, just send someone to call me anytime."

Qianqian quickly replied, "Okay, thank you, Luo Shun."

Luo Shun waved his hand, turned and left, returning to his own room to continue immersing himself in the world of books.

After all, for him, whether one more person lived in this residence actually didn't have much impact.

Qianqian not only allowed him to stay at this place, but also specially instructed people to arrange everything in an orderly manner.

Facing such thoughtful care, his heart was filled with gratitude, and he secretly made up his mind to study harder, achieve success in the imperial examinations to repay Qianqian's kindness. So he continued to bury himself in his studies.

At the same time, Qianqian's side was also busy. Wangchen carried a doctor, displaying lightness skills as agile as a flying swallow, and instantly flew to Qianqian's side.

However, when the old doctor's feet touched the ground, he suddenly felt dizzy, his head spun, and he even felt a bit nauseous. Fortunately, Wangchen was quick-eyed and quick-handed, supporting him in time, avoiding the embarrassment of falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Qianqian said to the old doctor with a face full of apology, "Doctor, I'm really sorry! I was a bit anxious, and my dark guard actually neglected your feelings for a moment."

The old doctor caught his breath slightly and waved his hand, saying, "It's fine, it's fine. The patient's condition is the most important."

At this moment, Xiao Ding also quickly walked out from inside, ran to Qianqian's side, and reported, "Master, the Young Master inside has finished bathing."

Hearing this, Qianqian nodded and instructed, "Alright, you take the doctor in to examine that Young Master's injuries. We'll wait outside for a moment." Xiao Ding acknowledged the order and led the doctor into the room.

At this time, Ouyang Chengren inside the room had just put on his clothes and was about to get up when he saw Xiao Ding leading the doctor in.
