Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 291 - 290: All for You

She stiffened her expression, no longer glancing at the man, and walked straight towards the courtyard gate, her graceful silhouette exuding determination.

Ye Zhi stood in place, calling out with a complex expression: "Sister Lu He."

The graceful figure walking away did not turn back.

Sigh! Ye Zhi let out a small sigh, thinking to herself, what is all this...

She turned her gentle gaze to the man with a somber face and spoke up for justice: "Brother Ah Jun, perhaps I’m young and shouldn’t speak out of turn, but if you don’t want to go, that’s your business, and we should respect your wishes.

However, Sister Lu He looked so sad just now. If there were words to describe it, it would be, ’The greatest sorrow of all is a dead heart, second only to a dead body.’ The person in the mansion who hopes the most for your well-being is her. Recently, she somehow found a medical book about treating your leg injury, studying it on her own and coming to ask me whenever she encountered characters she didn’t recognize. That’s how I found out."

She swallowed and continued, "Not only that, even though the Divine Doctor Xiao said treating your legs carries great risk, Sister Lu He still went to my mother to ask for help, hoping to introduce good doctors to try for your sake. Do you know why Sister Lu He has been back in the capital for a while but hasn’t gone to recognize her maternal family?"

Zhao Jun sat in his wheelchair, expressionless, and silent. Facing the girl’s inquiry, he slowly lifted his head, his dark eyes meeting hers as he shook his head.

What’s the reason behind this?

The sky had turned dark, and with no lights lit in the courtyard, it gave an illusion of desolation, the silhouettes barely discernible in the dim light.

This Brother Ah Jun, even more of an intellectual than Changzhou...

Ye Zhi, frustrated yet concerned: "It’s because of you."

Zhao Jun was taken aback, his hoarse voice inquiring, "How could that be?"

Ye Zhi’s wide eyes, like a small deer’s, looked at him: "She’s planning to keep looking after you like this. She’s now heading out early and coming back late because you live in the Ye Mansion with her, and the expenses for food and clothing are substantial. So she’s helping with things around the mansion to reduce her sense of guilt. My mother told Sister Lu He to rest assured and stay put, but she wouldn’t listen. If she goes to recognize her family and returns there, what about you? Would you go with her?"

The little girl’s words struck Zhao Jun’s heart.

Yes, a cripple like himself is just a burden to her!

He pleaded: "Ah Zhi, please contact Doctor Wu for me. I’m willing to try. I will spare no effort to heal my legs. The gratitude I owe the Ye Mansion, Zhao will never forget and will always remember. Should Zhao be needed in the future, I’m willing to go through fire and water, no matter the cost."

A thoroughly humble expression.

When he was gravely injured on Yandang Mountain, not once did he lower his breath to Prince An’s subordinates, let alone beg!

He suddenly recalled a past thought of his, to allow the pure and delicate beauty to enjoy wealth and luxury—how could those be achieved when he couldn’t even stand?

Seeing him come around, Ah Zhi was also happy. She instructed the Little Traitor to keep an eye on him and offer some comfort while she herself headed out to find Sister Lu He.

Sister Lu He must have been very sad just now, it was written all over her face.

The Little Traitor nodded, signaling her to go. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The little girl ran out with light steps. Even in the dark, she wasn’t afraid of falling, and she ran quickly, disappearing in an instant.

Leaving the big and small man in the courtyard.

The two remained silent.

A moment later, Zhao Jun spoke first: "Do you look down on me, feel that I’m very weak, a coward?"

The Little Traitor, being a precocious child with deep thoughts, immediately understood that he was still bothered by the words just said.
