Chapter 226 Confrontation
"Yutuan! Great! You finally woke up!" Tingzhu ran to Yutuan excitedly and held her hand: "We were so worried, especially your daughter..."
Yutuan and Tingzhu turned their eyes to Zhi Yihe at the same time, but found that she did not look as happy as expected.
Yu Tuan gently stroked her abdomen, looked at the gauze wrapped around Zhi Yi's arms and forehead, and asked worriedly, "How is the girl's injury..."
Zhi Yihe silently took out a silk handkerchief from his bundle and handed it to Ting Zhu. "Ting Zhu, our current situation is very unsafe. We can't let the old lady be in danger because of us. We must leave here as soon as possible. Take this handkerchief to the old lady. It is made of brocade and can be sold for twenty or thirty taels of gold in the nearby cities. If you know the value of it, you can even get five taels of gold. We only need an ox cart, some clothes and food. You can give the rest of the silver to the old lady as a token of our gratitude."
Ting Zhu noticed that the master and servant wanted to be alone together, so she immediately stood up, took the handkerchief and went out: "Yes! Good! I'll arrange it right away!"
After quietly waiting for Tingzhu to leave and closing the door, Yutuan finally spoke: "Why are you so mysterious, young lady..."
Before she could finish her words, Yutuan saw Zhi Yihe open her palm, and on her hand lay a teardrop-shaped jade earring.
Yu Tuan subconsciously touched his left ear and forced a smile: "You must have put it away for me when I was unconscious. But my pendant is not worth much money. This anklet is made of gold. You should give it to me and sell this chain for money!"
Yu Tuan wanted to bend down to reach the anklet, but she pulled the wound instead, causing her to grimace in pain.
"Alright!" Although Zhi Yihe felt sorry for her, she still refused to give in. She pinched the earring and asked, "Why are you only touching the left ear? Don't you know there's nothing on the right ear?"
"Oh!" Yu Tuan pretended to be stupid and touched her right ear: "Oh, really! How come both of them fell off? Did you only find one? I really like this pair of earrings! What a pity."
Zhi Yihe sneered: "Didn't you crush the one on the right with your own hands when it ran down the stairs at the inn?"
Yutuan's hair suddenly stood on end and he looked at Zhi Yihe in horror.
"Why are you silent? Keep on quibbling!"
Yutuan lowered her head, avoiding Zhiyi's sharp gaze.
"Who are you?" Zhi Yihe thought she would be furious, would beat and scold Yu Tuan angrily when she woke up, or even put a knife to her neck to interrogate her... But when Yu Tuan finally woke up, she was not as angry as she had imagined. Instead, she felt unusually calm. She had a premonition that this person who had grown up with her would never betray her. He would never do anything to hurt her. Moreover, when she was in danger, Yu Tuan had indeed protected her immediately...
"Girl..." Yu Tuan maintained a stiff posture, trying to remain calm. He tried to speak again, but didn't know what to say.
"Then let me crush it and see who it attracts!" Zhi Yihe pretended to crush the earring. She thought Yu Tuan would cry out "No!" and then confide her helplessness and her difficulties... If they cleared up the misunderstanding, she would forgive her and help her escape that shameful identity...
Things didn't develop as she had imagined. Yu Tuan didn't try to stop them. They stared at each other, but Yu Tuan didn't move or say a word. This made Zhi Yihe feel that the trust she had firmly held in her heart was silently shattering and collapsing...
Yu Tuan was actually already frightened. "What should I do? What should I do? Should I tell the young lady the truth? I don't know what her attitude towards the master is! If I tell her, will she drive me away in anger? That won't do. I can still help the young lady block the knife. If I leave, the young lady will be in greater danger! And that little Princess Tingzhu still needs the young lady to take care of her... And how will I explain to the master then? I won't be caught between two sides and become a lonely person... No, the young lady won't think that I am in cahoots with the assassin who killed her! It's over! This is a huge misunderstanding..."
