Chapter 216 Chu Yao 1

"What's wrong with Yi'er?" Lu Qisheng asked, grabbing Bu Yuzhen as he looked at Lu Zhengyi's pale face.

Bu Yuzhen was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

“Master Lu, your young master was just accidentally injured. The elders of the Heavenly Spirit Sect are merciful and allowed him to return to recuperate,” Liu Ruxuan said from the side, knowing that Bu Yuzhen couldn’t explain.

Upon seeing Liu Ruxuan, Lu Qisheng hurriedly greeted her, "Hall Master Liu, so it's Hall Master Liu. My apologies for not being more respectful. I feel relieved to have you here."

Liu Ruxuan smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you're too kind."

"Is Yi'er's injury serious?" Lu Qisheng asked, feeling very distressed.

"Don't worry, Master Lu, he'll wake up in less than half a day." After Liu Ruxuan finished speaking, Lu Qisheng nodded: "Hall Master Liu, let's go sit in the front hall."

After saying this, he gestured for her to enter. Liu Ruxuan nodded politely. Lu Qisheng ordered two servants to take good care of Lu Zhengyi, leaving Bu Yuzhen behind, and the two of them left.

Bu Yuzhen frowned. Why is everyone so nice to Liu Ruxuan?

Later, Lu Zhengyi's mother, Zhu Qi, arrived late and, after learning the whole story, repeatedly thanked Liu Ruxuan.

Liu Ruxuan bid farewell to Lu Qisheng and Madam Lu and returned to Yongrentang.

"Miss!"

As soon as Liu Ruxuan entered the room, Xiyue spotted her immediately and rushed downstairs, throwing herself into Liu Ruxuan's arms and crying, "Miss... Xiyue missed you so much."

Liu Ruxuan's eyes also welled up with tears: "Xiyue, I miss you all too."

Liu Ruxuan's return brought much joy to Yongrentang. It's likely she'll be staying for at least half a year.

"Ah—stop hitting me..." Just as the group was catching up, a pitiful scream came from outside the door.

Liu Ruxuan led Xiyue and the others to the entrance, where they saw a girl dressed in fine clothes but covered in dirt huddled at the entrance of Yongrentang, her disheveled hair obscuring her face. A man was punching and kicking the girl, muttering as he did so, "I'll teach you to steal, I'll teach you to steal, let's see if you dare to do it again."

"Stop!" Liu Ruxuan shouted.

Upon seeing that it was Liu Ruxuan, the servant immediately changed his attitude: "Master Liu, it's you."

"What happened?" Liu Ruxuan asked.

"Oh, this little thief stole something, and I caught him." He said, kicking the girl as he spoke.

The girl cried out in pain, covering her head and too ashamed to face anyone.

"Don't touch her, what did she steal from you?" Liu Ruxuan asked.

The servant smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a steamed bun."

"Xiyue, give this young man one tael of silver, and let's leave it at that." Liu Ruxuan didn't want to see such a young girl being chased and beaten, and wanted to pay off her debt for her.

"No, no, no, Master Liu, you're being too polite. You've been so good to us, how could I possibly accept your money?" the servant hurriedly said, afraid that Liu Ruxuan would give him money.

“Then she…” Liu Ruxuan wanted to save her.

"I'll leave her to you now, I'll be going now." With that, the servant left.

Liu Ruxuan crouched down and brushed her hair aside with her hand, but the next second she exclaimed in surprise, "Chu Yao?!"

Chu Yao was also shocked. She thought she was going to starve to death on the streets, but she never expected that the Liu Hall Master who saved her was Liu Ruxuan. Chu Yao's eyes were filled with tears: "Sister Ruxuan..."

Xi Yue helped Chu Yao wash up, and then took a set of clothes from Xi Yue, which were a little too big for her. Chu Yao stood obediently in front of Liu Ruxuan, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Chu Yao, what brings you to Qian Yuan?" Liu Ruxuan asked, looking at Chu Yao.
