The group of guards at the door finally reacted and nodded their heads. A guard ran out like the wind.

In the living room.

"I heard that Prince Chu has been researching medical knowledge recently." Shui Qingyan laughed.

Chu Chen nodded his head: "To date, I have not found any books that have 'Nutjob' written on it."

Shui Qingyan was still smiling when she heard that. "Prince Chu is really interested in the symptoms of 'mental illness'?"

Chu Chen raised his brows, "I'm more concerned about my Fire Spirit Zoysia."

The smile on Shui Qingyan's face stiffened slightly.

"Since Fourth Miss has come here, I believe you can exchange it with something on par with the Fire Lingzhi." Chu Chen looked at Shui Qingyan.

Since the topic was brought to the surface so quickly, Shui Qingyan did not plan to hide it from her. She smiled and said: "If prince is willing, I am willing to sign the receipt, in the future, I will definitely give you something of equal value."

Chu Chen: "What day is it in the future?"

"In half a year." Shui Qingyan mustered her courage and said.

"What if you can't?" Chu Chen looked at Shui Qingyan.

Shui Qingyan smiled as she looked in Chu Chen's direction. "My eyes are already ruined, it's impossible to catch a snake now."

Chu Chen: "I can cure your eyes."

Shui Qingyan's nerves tensed up, since Chu Chen had said that, it meant that she still had a chance to recover her sight in the future!

Chu Chen raised his teacup, blew at the tea leaves floating on the surface of the water, and said slowly: "Three months from now, if you don't have an equivalent treasure, come to my side."

Qing Mei, who was behind Shui Qingyan, knitted her brows.

Shui Qingyan slowly raised the corner of her mouth: "Even Prince Chu has a big appetite, I am a quasi-Second Princess!"

Chu Chen took a sip of tea: "The identity of the Second Princess does not prevent you from working for me."

Shui Qingyan slowly clenched her fists inside her sleeves. She had no choice but to accept Chu Chen's condition in order to save him.

"Five months." Shui Qingyan began to bargain.

Chu Chen took out a piece of paper from his sleeve that was filled with words: "Read it out for your young miss, whether you sign or not, it's up to you."

Qingmei received it, glanced at Shui Qingyan, then frowned: "Miss, it says three months."

Shui Qingyan took a deep breath, and sure enough, Chu Chen had dug a trap for her.

"Father, you've returned. It shouldn't be at this price." Chu Chen slowly said.

"Sign. Three months from now, if I, Shui Qingyan, take out any unworthy treasures, I will work for the Prince Chu!" Shui Qingyan's face turned slightly black.

"Miss …" Qing Mei wanted to advise Shui Qingyan.

Chu Chen interrupted Qing Mei's words. "Fourth Miss, please press your hand seal."

Shui Qingyan pressed her palm with a darkened face.

Chu Chen looked at the red fingerprints on the contract, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes, "Mrs. Zhang's body is weak, the Fire Spirit Zoysia is extremely potent, I'm afraid that normal people would not be able to grasp it well, I have already sent people over, Fourth Young Miss can return immediately."

Hearing that, Shui Qingyan got up: "Thank you Prince Chu for your love." Finished speaking, he walked out without turning his head back.

Chu Chen saw that Shui Qingyan's expression wasn't good and raised his eyebrows. After folding the contract in his hand, he stood up and walked towards his own courtyard.

When Shui Qingyan went out of the door, she coincidentally bumped into the Prince Chu that had hurriedly returned.

"Greetings Prince Chu." Shui Qingyan bowed.

Prince Chu was still dressed in his dark green flowery robes, he looked up and down at Shui Qingyan, and then spoke in a deep voice: "Is Fourth Young Miss's eyes alright?"

"Nope." Shui Qingyan spoke the truth.

"Yes." The Prince Chu responded to his words lightly and then walked towards the manor with large strides.

When the butler Uncle Qin saw that Prince Chu had returned, he went up to him without a word. "Your Highness, prince must have taken the Fire Ganoderma."

"He's injured!" Prince Chu asked nervously.

"Nope." The butler shook his head.

"What does he want the Fire Spirit Ganoderma for?" Prince Chu asked with a frown.

"I don't know." The butler shook his head.

"Just now, Little Chen really saw Fourth Miss." Prince Chu suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The had even brought the Fourth Miss into the living room. The prince was still walking in front of the Fourth Miss, and prince was only a step away from the Fourth Miss. The prince had also talked to the Fourth Miss for a long time, and after the Fourth Miss had left, the prince had returned to the courtyard with a smile in his eyes!

When the butler Uncle Qin mentioned Chu Chen, he was like a machine gun with a chatterbox opened.

Hearing this, Prince Chu raised an eyebrow, "When Fourth Young Miss left, her expression didn't seem to be very good."

Hearing this, Uncle Qin immediately nodded. "According to Uncle Qin's observation, Fourth Miss doesn't seem to like our son."

Hearing this, Prince Chu raised an eyebrow: Hmm?

When prince appeared, Fourth Miss frowned. When prince let Fourth Miss in, Fourth Miss hesitated, and the servant served Fourth Miss some tea, Fourth Miss's mouth was completely useless. After Fourth Miss pressed her hand seal, she left without even giving prince a bow. Uncle Qin reported the results of his investigation to Prince Chu.

Prince Chu had a face full of doubt.

The butler suddenly slapped his head. "My prince, the Mr. Fang is here. They are in my prince's study."

After Prince Chu heard this, he no longer cared about Shui Qingyan and headed straight for the study room.

On the other side, Shui Qingyan walked out of the Prince Chu Palace and hurried towards the Shui’s Marion.

Just as he entered the Yi'an Yard, the Senior Servant An standing at the entrance of the courtyard knelt down towards Shui Qingyan and greeted him with a great bow, "Fourth Miss, many Fourth Miss Xie is begging for Fire Spirit Ganoderma for Eldest Miss."

Shui Qingyan looked at Seventh Senior Servant and asked, "How is big sister?"

Seventh Senior Servant wiped away her tears. "Reporting to Fourth Miss, Eldest Miss has just taken the Fire Ganoderma and is out of danger. The people from Prince Chu Palace said that they will come and take a look for Eldest Miss tomorrow."

"Did the people from the Prince Chu Palace leave?" Shui Qingyan asked doubtfully.

"Yes." The Seventh Senior Servant replied.

Shui Qingyan pursed her lips. Was Chu Chen afraid that there would be people who would target the Fire Ganoderma, so he sent a doctor from the Prince Chu Palace?

"I heard that Prince Chu has a medical expert surnamed Fang, is this person Mr. Fang?" Shui Qingyan asked.

Seventh Senior Servant shook her head: "This old servant does not know, the person who came did not tell me the title, but took out the Palace's order badge. The old master personally came to see, but that person rejected."

"You also haven't seen his true face?" Shui Qingyan asked doubtfully.

"Yes, it's very ordinary. That person just doesn't want to see old master." Seventh Senior Servant said, "After that person cleared up, he went out and disappeared."

Shui Qingyan nodded his head: "Did you leave the prescription?"

"He stayed. Old master has seen it and sent people to catch the medicine." Seventh Senior Servant said.

Shui Qingyan pursed her lips.

"Fourth Miss, the Master invited Fourth Miss to his study." Ah Yuan walked over and said.

"Seventh Senior Servant, please get up. Take good care of big sister." After Shui Qingyan finished speaking, she immediately followed Ah Yuan to Shui Yiyuan's study.

Seventh Senior Servant looked at Shui Qingyan's voice that had disappeared and sighed: "Fourth Miss really seems to be different."

In the study.

Seeing Shui Qingyan coming in, Shui Yiyuan put down the things she had written down, walked up and down two steps, and looked at Shui Qingyan: "Did Prince Chu Palace do anything to you?"

"Greetings, father." Shui Qingyan bowed towards Shui Yiyuan, "Prince Chu Palace did not make things difficult for our daughter."

Shui Yiyuan was in a little state of disbelief. "He delivered the Fire Ganoderma that easily?"

"No." Shui Qingyan stretched out her right hand, and the ink on her thumb was still the same, "Your daughter promised Prince Chu Palace that she will get something of equal value in three months."

"Do you have valuable treasures?" Shui Yiyuan opened his eyes even wider.

"Nope." Shui Qingyan shook her head, "A plan to slow them down."

Shui Yiyuan faintly felt that Shui Qingyan was hiding something from her, and asked: "What if she doesn't have any?"

Shui Qingyan raised her head to look at Shui Yiyuan, her unfocused eyes shot out a trace of oppression: "Could it be that father doesn't have it?"

Shui Yiyuan's brows knitted together, "The Fire Spirit Zoysia has taken root at the edge of the lava, there can't be more than three in the world, but there's only one Yun Chao, so the rarity of this object is far beyond ordinary treasures. Quickly tell Father, if he still doesn't join, what are the consequences?"

Shui Qingyan pursed her lips: "Father, don't worry, I just bought myself, it won't involve the Shui’s Marion."

Shui Yiyuan frowned: "What do you mean?"

"I owe Prince Chu a indenture contract. Prince Chu has been ill for a long time and his mind is abnormal. If I don't tell him about the Fire Ganoderma, he will make me a living figure." Shui Qingyan said while still in a hurry.

Bai Lu, who was eavesdropping outside, nearly popped out her eyes.

Qing Mei, who was hiding in the dark, pursed her lips. The Fourth Miss was becoming more and more good at lying.

"A living puppet?!" Shui Yiyuan was also very surprised.

Shui Qingyan: "My daughter is so beautiful, Prince Chu said she wants to be made into a puppet or brought into the tomb to be buried with him."

Shui Yiyuan was speechless for a long time.

Without a word, Bai Lu immediately flew back to the Qing'an Yard.

After a long while, Shui Yiyuan said to himself, "Don't worry, Father will definitely not let you suffer the evil hands of the Prince Chu."

"Thank you, father. Daughter knows that her father will not ignore her." Shui Qingyan said as she bowed.

"You can go back first. Have a good rest." Shui Yiyuan waved his hand.

"Yes." "My daughter will take her leave." Shui Qingyan bowed, then left the study.

By the time he returned to the Yi'an Yard, it was already very late.

"Miss, are you going back there tonight?" Qing Mei asked.

Shui Qingyan shook her head.

Just as she entered the Yi'an Yard, Yu Niang looked up and down at Shui Qingyan: "Miss, did Prince Chu make things difficult for you?"

Shui Qingyan smiled as she looked at Yu Niang: "Who said I went to Prince Chu Palace to see Prince Chu?"

The corner of Yu Niang's mouth stiffened: "Could it be that Miss isn't going to ask for Prince Chu's help?"

"Prince Chu's feelings can be freely accepted?" Shui Qingyan laughed as she shook her head.

"Then, Miss …" Yu Niang immediately looked at Shui Qingyan nervously. "Did Prince Chu make things difficult for Miss?"

Shui Qingyan smiled, she did not understand why Yu Niang insisted that she saw Prince Chu.

Seeing Shui Qingyan not saying anything, Yu Niang did not continue asking.

Shui Qingyan sighed and walked towards her room.

After washing up, Shui Qingyan lied on the bed. What Chu Chen did today must have a purpose. Chu Chen's goal was absolutely not only a contract, but something else as well.
