Chapter 117: Avoiding the Nightmare
"There's a brazier burning in the room, and I'm wearing warm clothes, so I'm not cold." Xu Shuhe replied, and then reached out and touched Chen Zhi's forehead, "His body temperature is normal now, so I guess he won't have a fever anymore."

Chen Zhi felt the warmth of the woman's hand on his forehead, and his heart felt even warmer, as if all the suffering he had endured in prison these days had faded away.

"I'm fine. You've been guarding here for a long time. Go and rest. Let the servants take care of you." Chen Zhi said softly.

Speaking of servants, Chen Zhi remembered Zhang Ping's injury and asked about it as well.

Xu Shuhe just told him not to worry, Zhang Ping was fine. After all, he was the one who was injured while savioring the Lord, so she would naturally ask a doctor to treat his injury and told him to rest for the next few days.

"Madam, has the young master woken up? The medicine is warming on the stove, and the porridge and side dishes are also prepared. Do you want to bring them to the young master now?"

Xinyue's voice came from outside the door.

"Well, bring them all here. I also need some hot water. Help the young master wash up first." Xu Shuhe responded.

Chen Zhi looked at her busying herself for him, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

It would be great to have a family. This thought popped up in my heart and grew stronger and stronger.

After taking the medicine and eating something, Chen Zhi finally felt that his strength had been restored a lot.

At this moment, Meixiang came over with a tray and leaned over to say, "Madam, it's time to apply medicine to the young master. The doctor instructed that it should be applied once in the morning and once in the evening."

"Okay." Xu Shuhe responded, rolled up his sleeves and was about to start.

Chen Zhi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "No need to bother you, call a servant."

His wounds were on his buttocks and back.

Xu Shuhe naturally understood the meaning of these words and immediately paused.

She had actually seen Chen Zhi's wound yesterday, but Chen Zhi was unconscious at that time, and the wound was treated by the doctor for the first time. She just watched from the side, and there were no maids around to watch, so she didn't feel embarrassed. Now that he woke up, she
"The servants will withdraw. The servants are too careless and might hurt the young master. It is better for the young lady to come in person."

Meixiang on the side immediately spoke up.

This actually stopped Xu Shuhe from speaking.

She was just planning to ask Xinyue to call a servant to do this.

However, Meixiang didn't know whether she really thought so or was deliberately creating an opportunity for the two to get close. After saying this, she put down the medicine, pulled the still dazed Xinyue out.

Didn't forget to close the door.

"Forehead"

Xu Shuhe was a little at a loss and looked into Chen Zhi's eyes.

Chen Zhi's face also felt a little hot. He quietly turned his head away and lay down, saying softly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, my lady."

Having said that, Xu Shuhe couldn't be pretentious anymore. He had seen it before anyway, so he quickly lifted the quilt and started to remove his bandages.

Perhaps because the room was too quiet and a little awkward, Chen Zhi took the initiative to ask about what had happened at home during this period.

Once this topic was brought up, Xu Shuhe had endless things to talk about.

She told him everything from how she investigated the case and rescued him, to how she was almost framed by Chen Huaiqian and Chen Xun in the mansion, to how he was able to be released from prison quickly and smoothly this time with the help of the Fifth Prince in the capital, etc.

After hearing this, Chen Zhi really didn't care about the embarrassment. He knew that when he was away, Xu Shuhe was bullied by his father and brother like this, and his innocence was almost ruined. He was immediately furious. "Old Four is a scholar after all, but he can think of such a despicable method. I was really blind all these years and didn't see that he was so cruel. Dad is getting more and more confused!"

"Fourth brother has always been good at pretending, so you don't have to be too angry. Since they have agreed to separate the family, I thought of moving out after you recover from your injury. What do you think?" Xu Shuhe said frankly.

Anyway, she didn't want to live in this filthy place anymore, so she just said what she wanted to say.

"In my opinion, we should pack up our things in the next two or three days and move out." Chen Zhi said coldly. He was extremely disappointed with this family from the bottom of his heart. "Don't worry too much. I don't know what will happen when the second son and his wife come back. Although Feng has been sentenced to death, the execution has not yet taken place. The fourth son seems to be well-behaved at the moment, but he is too scheming. I always feel uneasy when I am with him."

In the family division list drawn up by Chen Huaiqian, he got the most property, which was obviously not Chen Huaiqian's original intention. Now the situation has changed again, and Chen Huaiqian may not be willing to divide it this way. The two brothers Chen Jin and Chen Xun may also have some ideas in their minds.

If we don't strike while the iron is hot, cut the Gordian knot now, settle everything and move away, there may be trouble again regarding the family property.

Xu Shuhe frowned, "I would like to divide this family quickly, but we need to buy a house, and then we need to buy furniture and hire servants to serve us. All these things will take time and effort, and now you still have to recover from your injuries."

"Let's move out first. My mother left a small house for me. I'll send someone to clean it up and I can move in first." Chen Zhi seemed determined.

He didn't want to stay in the Chen family any longer.

Now that he was injured, if something unexpected happened, not to mention being able to protect Xu Shuhe, he would just have to not be a drag. He really felt that it was unsafe to live here, so he'd better leave as soon as possible.

Seeing his determination, Xu Shuhe pondered for a while, and then suggested, "Why don't you stay at my mother's house for a while? After all, everything is complete, and it will be more convenient for you to recover. After all, the house that has not been lived in for many years is missing something."

She felt safe living in the Xu family, and she could slowly arrange the future matters.

That's right. If I go live with my wife in law's house, I'm afraid people outside will gossip about the Chen family.

Chen Zhi naturally thought of this, but it just flashed through his mind and then he nodded without hesitation.

The Chen family's scandal has become known to the whole city during this period. What is there to be afraid of? After all, it will hurt the face of Chen Huaiqian and others. He and Xu Shuhe are both victims, so they are not afraid anyway.

They had already fallen out a long time ago, so there was no need to worry that Chen Huaiqian would get angry about this again.

Moreover, Chen Zhi is more assured about Xu Shuhe's safety since he lives in Xu's house with his mother-in-law taking care of him.

After the two of them made this decision, Xu Shuhe asked Xinyue to go back to her parents' home to pass on the message. As for the Chen family, she was also preparing to go to Chen Huaiqian to inform him later.

Yes, notify, not negotiate.

While they were talking, the medicine was applied and Xu Shuhe began to bandage the wound on Chen Zhi's back.

It is a bit troublesome to wrap the bandage. You have to put your hand over Chen Zhi's chest, and when you don't need to remove it, just pull it out directly.

Xu Shuhe was a little hesitant to move. After all, this posture was like hugging someone, and the two of them were too close, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Compared to her, Chen Zhi felt even more uncomfortable. Xu Shuhe's hands were always rubbing against his chest, making him feel itchy. Especially when Xu Shuhe got close to him, his breath sprinkled on his skin, making him feel hot.

After waiting for a long time for the bandage to be wrapped, Chen Zhi felt that he almost sweated.

"You, you take a rest, I'll take this dirty bandage out." Xu Shuhe also felt that the atmosphere was subtle, so he said this and hurried away.

Chen Zhi felt a strange feeling in his heart, happy but also a little embarrassed. He responded in a deep voice, buried his face in his arms, and lay down quietly.
