Chapter 1151: Chapter 1149: Coming to Express Thanks in Person
On May 26, Madam Zhou was escorted by Purple Jade and others onto the road to Changan City, officially stepping into another level of her life.
Meanwhile, Wufu in Changan had already received Purple Jadeâs letter, learning that Madam Zhou was on her way, she let out a breath of relief.
"The days of tranquility are probably numbered. Next, letâs indulge ourselves." Wufu put down the letter and stretched lazily.
During these days of recuperation, she was either sitting or lying down, feeling useless. Her face and waist had gained a layer of flesh.
"Miss, Princess Changping is here." Ma Nao came to report.
"Whatâs she here for?" Wufu raised her eyebrows, thought for a moment, and said, "Invite her in."
Although she was a commandery princess, Wufu didnât go to the second gate to greet her, just waited at the door of her courtyard. After all, she was injured.
Sure enough, Changping came over with several maids and old women. Beside her, there was one with long legs and waist, light steps, and a silver belt at her waist â hmm, using a soft sword as a belt, was she a practitioner?
Seeing Wufu waiting, Changpingâs face lit up with a smile, quickening her pace to her. She teased, "Wufu, were you waiting for me? Are you well already? Just wait for me in the house."
Wufu slightly bent her knees, "Princess, itâs an honor to have you visit. Itâs improper to act arrogantly; courtesy must not be neglected."
"Why talk about empty courtesies between us?" Changping carefully took her arm, "Letâs go to your room to talk."
Wufu nodded with a smile and went into her house with her. As for the other maids and old women, there were other maids to attend to them. Only her unfamiliar maid and the familiar Qing Xin followed Changping inside.
As they sat on the beauty couch near the window, Ma Nao served tea and withdrew.
Changping then said with a face full of guilt, "Wufu, on that day of disaster you got hurt saving me. I should have come to visit you right away. But I was useless, got a fever that night, burnt for two days and recovered, then was confined by my mother to recuperate all these days. Thatâs why I could finally come now, you wonât blame me, right?"
"No wonder you look even thinner and paler than me." Wufu said in surprise, "Are you feeling much better now?"
Changping nodded, smiling, "If I hadnât recovered, my mother certainly wouldnât have let me out."
"Good that youâre well." Wufu said, and then to Jadeite, "Just in time, didnât Shui Jing make chicken soup? Bring it up and share some with the princess, donât let me drink it all, itâs too cloying."
Jadeite replied with a smile.
Changping teased, "This must be a tonic, what kind of guest drinks your tonic?"
"At my place, itâs perfectly normal. You donât know, these days, Iâve drunk more chicken soup than I have in the past ten years, it makes me dread even the word chicken. Youâre coming at just the right time!" Wufu laughed, "I blocked a sword for you, you help me share some chicken soup, isnât that fair?"
Changping immediately said, "Of course, thatâs fine." Saying that, she stood up and solemnly bowed to Wufu, "Wufu, thank you for saving my life. From now on, you are my friend for life and death!"
How sentimental!
Wufuâs mouth twitched, hurriedly helping her up, "You, a dignified commandery princess, arenât you going to diminish my fortune? Quickly rise, it was but a small matter."
"The servant also thanks Miss Wufu for saving my life." Qing Xin also bowed down, more grand than Changping, directly kneeling and knocking her head.
Wufu suddenly felt overwhelmed, laughed and called them up, "What scenes are you master and servant playing today? Bowing here and there, hurry up and rise."
