Chapter 1417: After modification: Chapter 1414 Helping

She softly said, “I guess this maid is afraid you would hold a grudge, and that’s why she lied. She probably didn’t do it on purpose.”

Cao’er suddenly kowtowed and cried, “Please spare my life, Miss Chu! I didn’t do it on purpose, I was just scared you would punish me.”

“What are you doing? Stand up, I won’t hold a grudge anymore.” Chu Ziluo said very gently, while Nenya behind her reached out to pull Cao’er up.

Cao’er still wanted to kowtow, but now she didn’t have the chance. She couldn’t forcefully kneel down and continue, that would be too deliberate.

Liu Qingyuan, seeing that Chu Ziluo was truly taking this lightly, looked at her suspiciously.

Chu Ziluo smiled brightly, “I’m going to pick up Ms. Huo, Ms. Liu, feel free.”

Chu Ziluo directly called Cao’er to take her to find Huo Hongyan.

Liu Qingyuan hesitated a bit but eventually considered that those young masters would probably be here soon. She didn’t stop her, given that Huo Hongyan had gone ahead; even if Chu Ziluo went, it wouldn’t be an issue.

Cao’er, trembling, led the way ahead.

After turning a corner, they suddenly saw Huo Hongyan with her maidservants and Liuye following behind. They hadn’t left at all but were instead waiting at the corner.

Cao’er was momentarily surprised seeing Huo Hongyan.

Chu Ziluo walked up smiling, “Ms. Huo, let’s go.”

“Thank you, Ziluo.” Huo Hongyan knew Chu Ziluo was helping her; otherwise, she wouldn’t have offended the Liu family siblings. She felt a bit guilty.

Chu Ziluo didn’t wait for her to speak and took her arm, walking forward.

From behind.

A maid who witnessed it hurriedly left.

Walking along the corridor, past a rock garden.

Suddenly, a man with two servant boys appeared out of nowhere and charged at Huo Hongyan.

Chu Ziluo was shocked, grabbing Nenya’s wrist, while Liuye went up to face them.

There were two groans.

Chu Ziluo hadn’t reacted yet when she felt her body lighten; she was pulled from behind into the rock garden.

Her eyes were filled with fright, trying hard to contain her trembling, she lifted her foot to strike her attacker.

She immediately hit the hard chest of her opponent, realizing it was a man.

The blow was quite strong.

“Mm-hmm.”

A muffled hum sounded, and Chu Ziluo’s leg was pressed down by a pair of big hands. She angrily struggled.

A familiar voice sounded, “It’s me.”

Chu Ziluo quickly raised her head and was shocked to see who it was, “Brother Zhongjin?”

Li Chongjin was wearing a dark brocade robe and surprisingly had his hair down, the dark long hair was strikingly beautiful and eye-catching.

His cold, stern face showed no emotion. Seeing Chu Ziluo had truly come down, he released her wrist.

Chu Ziluo immediately stepped back, straightening her clothes while asking, “Brother Zhongjin, why are you here? What were you doing pulling me?”

“Those two servant boys know martial arts.” Li Chongjin explained briefly, not being a talkative person, he fell silent again.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ziluo was startled, forgetting to be surprised at his presence, she hurriedly said, “Ms. Huo is still outside.”

They stood at the rock garden’s entrance, seeing the man and the two servant boys unconscious on the ground.

Huo Hongyan was sitting on the ground, her hair a bit disheveled, but she was being protected by maidservants, luckily unharmed.

“Oh no, the maid named Cao’er is missing.” Chu Ziluo, just relieved that Huo Hongyan was unhurt, suddenly realized this.

Li Chongjin saw her worried, “Wait here.”
