Chapter 1418: After modification: Chapter 1415 Discovery

Dropped two words.

Li Chongjin disappeared.

Chu Ziluo looked around, somewhat confused.

Unable to find Li Chongjin, she proceeded to help Huo Hongyan up.

“Ms. Huo, are you all right?”

“I’m fine.” Huo Hongyan had recovered by now. After all, as the daughter of a military family, she knew some martial arts. She had only been caught by the servant boy to leave the guiding maid behind.

But Liuye, who was highly skilled in martial arts, directly saved her.

“Shall we go back now?” Chu Ziluo frowned, “Who is the man on the ground?”

“Let me take a look.” Huo Hongyan instructed the maid to reveal the man’s face.

Before she could see clearly, a voice rang out: “He is Zheng Yun, the nephew of the Second Branch Lady of the Liu Family.”

“Brother Zhongjin?” Chu Ziluo turned around and saw Li Chongjin. Just as she was about to say something, her attention was caught by the servant boy holding Cao’er behind him.

She realized something and quickly walked over, lifting her skirt: “Speak, which courtyard do you work in?”

Cao’er had been terrified by Li Chongjin, her face ashen. Seeing Chu Ziluo now, she looked as if she had seen a cat: “Second Lady, it’s Second Lady.”

A maid from the Second Lady’s courtyard of the Li family?

Thoughts flashed through Chu Ziluo’s mind.

“Brother Zhongjin, thank you for your help.”

“Finished asking?” Li Chongjin asked.

Chu Ziluo nodded. She only needed this information; the rest was irrelevant.

With a single command, Li Chongjin had the servant boy toss Cao’er aside.

“There’s a group of people coming; be careful.” Li Chongjin took one look at her rosy cheeks and felt she was still the same sister he always protected.

Chu Ziluo smiled brightly: “Thank you, Brother Zhongjin. You should leave quickly.”

“All right.” Li Chongjin turned, bringing the servant boy along as he left.

When Chu Ziluo approached, there was still shock in Huo Hongyan’s eyes. She asked in surprise, “Ziluo, that man… he seemed to be the Fourth Prince.”

“Yes, he was. We owe him a debt of gratitude today, but we mustn’t speak of this.”

Huo Hongyan was astonished by how harmonious the two seemed, a stark contrast to their lack of interaction in the previous life.

Just now, the Fourth Prince Li Chongjin hadn’t shown any closeness to Ziluo, yet he helped her resolve the trouble. This alone was quite rare.

After all, in the previous life, the Fourth Prince Li Chongjin had the coldest temperament and barely interacted with the Lin family. After ascending the throne, his imperial harem was the coldest, with his heart solely focused on the country.

Now, he had actively helped Ziluo.

Huo Hongyan knew this would be shocking news in the capital, but it couldn’t be disclosed!

“Don’t worry, Ziluo, I won’t reveal it.”

Huo Hongyan felt Chu Ziluo was a friend worth making, and she naturally wouldn’t let the news spread, making her a target.

As they spoke, they had already tidied their clothes.

A group of young misses approached from the corridor.

At the forefront were the two young misses of the Liu family and even the Young Madame of the Li family.

“What’s going on here?”

The Young Madame of the Li family, as the host of this banquet for young women, naturally had to step forward to handle the situation.

Huo Hongyan shielded Chu Ziluo behind her, her face alternating between pale and angry, pointing furiously at Zheng Yun on the ground: “That thug came out of nowhere and ran towards us as we passed by. Fortunately, Ziluo’s maid has some skills and took them down.”
