Sisi is not afraid of Tang Wanzhuang at all. She still doesn't know her true identity. She's just scared for no reason.

She's upset. Why did I work so hard to bandage it, only for you to casually ruin it and accuse me of doing it wrong? You've been lying in bed for so long, why don't you come and treat your injuries yourself? If someone else treats you, you say it's not good enough. Are you so great and noble?

Seeing Sisi looking angry, Tang Wanzhuang pursed her lips and couldn't refute for a while.

Although it seems like Sisi hasn't done much in the battle, she has made a lot of contributions from below. Actually, she hasn't done much from below either. As long as she assists Zhao Changhe, theoretically, she can be considered as Tang Wanzhuang's benefactor this time. Tang Wanzhuang really can't get angry at her.

But helping Zhao Changhe apply ointment...

Tang Wanzhuang hesitated.

She couldn't be as carefree as Sisi, and besides... there are certain things between Zhao Changhe's identity and her. Both sides understand and avoid them. Will applying ointment possibly break that understanding?

Tang Wanzhuang really couldn't continue. She apologized to Sisi with some regret, "Wanzhuang is indeed not convenient. Since the young lady is Zhao Gongzi's maid, please..."

Sisi stomped her feet, "You are known for your intelligence, but now even Tang Buqi knows that I am a fake maid!"

Tang Wanzhuang: "?"

She just arrived and had a lot of things to do. She hadn't asked about this yet, so how would she know... Since you're not a maid, what were you doing just now?

Zhao Changhe looked at the two women staring at each other and couldn't help but laugh, "Sisi, don't make it difficult for Shouzuo..."

Sisi was even more annoyed, "Oh, so you're favoring her because she's a pure and noble lady! She's even an old aunt, why is she pretending to be so pure!"

"What are you talking about..." Zhao Changhe looked at Tang Wanzhuang's rare embarrassment. In fact, he secretly praised her. It's not easy to break through her defenses. Sisi is really impressive. But he couldn't say that. He had to mediate, "I'm not very familiar with Shouzuo, we only have official interactions. You are my partner in this battle."

Sisi blinked her eyes. Tsk... They are both hypocritical women. I should accompany you, but she acts all pure and noble! She's even an old aunt, why is she pretending!

"What are you talking about..." Zhao Changhe looked at Tang Wanzhuang and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "That... it was just a joke, a joke..."

Sisi said disdainfully, "You treat her well, and you feel that she is promiscuous and disrespectful. You put on airs and think she is pure and highly respected. I'm not a fool. You two can enjoy your purity and respect. I want to see if the one willing to help you heal is a promiscuous woman or a pure Shouzuo."

After speaking, she turned and closed the door with a bang.

Inside the room, Zhao Changhe and Tang Wanzhuang looked at each other. Tang Wanzhuang had no idea who Sisi was, thinking that she was just jealous. But Zhao Changhe quickly understood why this girl was angry.

It seems that his obvious respectful attitude towards Tang Wanzhuang has offended her. She must be wondering what he has been doing since they met. She has given everything and still thinks it's not enough. If she knew that she would fall for this, wouldn't she act differently? It's making herself look stupid. The more she thinks about it, the angrier she gets.

But she hasn't explained her background until now. How can anyone think straight...

Tang Wanzhuang sighed, "Did this girl misunderstand something? Should I go and explain?"

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawℝead.com ].

Zhao Changhe shook his head, "No need, it's not a misunderstanding... It's just that the way people meet is strange. Alright, the medicine is there, my injuries are mainly on the front, I can apply it myself, I don't need delicate hands to help me, I'm not that delicate."

For some reason... maybe because Sisi left, it's not so awkward anymore, or maybe it's Zhao Changhe's natural attitude that makes Tang Wanzhuang feel natural as well. At this moment, she didn't feel any problems. She naturally picked up some ointment and applied it to the most severe injury on Zhao Changhe's shoulder.

Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. Actually, if it doesn't involve any awkwardness between men and women, this is normal. It would be strange to say otherwise.

He thought for a moment and brought up another topic, "The two incidents in Yangzhou and Suzhou, have I completed my role as a spy for the Zhenmo Division?"

Tang Wanzhuang chuckled lightly, "There hasn't been a Zhenmo Division spy with greater achievements in recent years... How many high-level cases have you prevented since you arrived in Jiangnan? If this is not enough, then nothing else will be."

"So the Dragon Sparrow and Six Harmonies Divine Art are my rewards for meritorious service. Don't bring up this topic with me again. The jade plaque is on the table over there, you can take it back. I don't want to eat this meal."

Tang Wanzhuang wondered, "This plaque is very useful to you. You have power without responsibility. Why do you want to return it to me?"

"I don't know if it's some kind of fate... I used to be carefree in the martial world, enjoying the joys and sorrows. Since I took this plaque from you, all I've been doing is solving cases. It's really strange. Although it's interesting, I don't want to keep investigating cases all the time, it's tiring."

Tang Wanzhuang smiled helplessly, "Because you came to Jiangnan and planned to target the Maitreya Sect, and the Maitreya Sect operates secretly in Jiangnan, of course it feels like solving cases everywhere. Where does fate come into play? Keep the plaque. If you continue to inexplicably investigate cases one after another, you can just smash this so-called fate."

Zhao Changhe happily said, "That's a deal."

"You're just afraid of being restrained."

"Maybe."Tang Wanzhuang slowly applied the medicine, lost in thought for a while, then said, "Speaking of the Dragon Sparrow... its power has already been revealed. Those with intentions, like Maitreya or my elder brother, must know what this sword is. I'm afraid it's too late for you to refuse it now. Trouble will inevitably follow. What are your plans?"

"If Maitreya knows, it's not a big deal. I was afraid of causing trouble if people found out, but I've already offended Maitreya to death. We're at the point of no return. What difference does it make whether he's a prince or not?"

"What if he spreads the word? Like to the Rosefinch."

"That's unlikely... He's not just a martial artist concerned with grudges, he's a rebel leader, he has political considerations."

"Such as?"

"If he's the only one who knows the secret, he might have a valuable asset if he catches me in the future. What good does it do him to reveal it to the Four Elephant Sect, to let them flaunt their power of killing princes again? Or to give the valuable asset to the Four Elephant Sect? If I were him, I definitely wouldn't reveal it to others. But it's hard to say what he'll think, after all, a madman can do anything."

Tang Wanzhuang laughed again, "You say you're not suited for the court, but now I think you're more and more suitable."

"Give me a break." Zhao Changhe said irritably, "The court is rotten, whether it's Xia Longyuan or the Tang family. Go to the court to learn your painstaking efforts? I'm not sick."

Tang Wanzhuang was lost in thought as she applied the medicine, not responding.

Zhao Changhe continued, "As for your elder brothers knowing, I believe you can keep them quiet, that's not a problem, right?"

Tang Wanzhuang came back to her senses, a faint blush finally appearing on her face, "I can keep them quiet, but how will they see it in their hearts? I'm afraid my father will rush from the capital to see you in a few days."

Zhao Changhe: "...Have you ever thought that this matter is very simple? I don't understand why you, known for your wisdom, would be troubled by this."

Tang Wanzhuang asked in surprise, "Simple?"

"Of course it's simple." Zhao Changhe said matter-of-factly, "As long as I tell your family that I'm not interested in a 28-year-old old maid, everything will be settled."

As Tang Wanzhuang listened, her eyebrows unconsciously furrowed, and she involuntarily applied more force with her hand.

The strength of the third-ranked on the Earth List was no joke, even a slight increase made Zhao Changhe's eyes bulge, "Damn, you're trying to murder your..."

"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao!" The door was suddenly pushed open, and Tang Buqi rushed in, "My father said... wait, what did you just say about murder? Uh..."

He looked at Zhao Changhe, who was lying on the bed with his bare chest, and then at his aunt who was sitting on the edge of the bed applying medicine for Zhao Changhe. The word "murdering her husband" spun in his mind, and his face turned all sorts of colors as he slowly backed away, tripped over the threshold, and fell flat on his back.

Tang Wanzhuang took a deep breath, suppressing her explosive embarrassment and anger, and gritted her teeth, "Is the upbringing of my Tang family teaching you to barge into people's rooms without knocking?!"

The upbringing of my Tang family also didn't allow women to touch men like this before marriage.

Tang Buqi muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to talk back to his aunt. The expression on his face was almost crying, "It was uncle who told me not to knock on the door in the future, so we could be friends..."

Zhao Changhe's mouth fell open.
