In the hall, Su Zhou sat weakly on the bed, while Xiao Man peeked out from behind Chen Ji, the dim flickering candlelight continuously stretching their shadows like their fluctuating thoughts.
Chen Ji instructed Xiao Man, "Stay in the room, I'll be right back."
Xiao Man tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Your Highness, this woman is too fierce, let me go with you!"
Chen Ji assured, "Keep an eye on the door, don't let anyone else in."
Xiao Man responded, "Oh..."
Su Zhou watched Chen Ji coldly, "I advise you not to harbor any ill intentions, or else everyone in Chen Mansion could die."
Chen Ji replied softly, "Don't worry, I'm going to get some healing items for you."
Having said that, he turned and exited the door, closing the two wooden doors of the hall behind him before heading out of the courtyard.
Xiao Man, anxious, called after him, "Your Highness, go quickly and come back soon, I'm a bit scared to be alone with this woman."
