activa-t Chapter 203 Savior
Chapter 203 Savior
"Greetings, Master; greetings, General Ji." Shen Chen bowed respectfully to the two.
"Chen'er, you've worked hard."
"General Ji came to see you today, saying that you once saved his life and are his savior."
"He came here today specifically to thank you."
Grand Tutor Zhou was unaware of the matter between the two, but fearing that his disciple might say the wrong thing, he quickly told him the purpose of Ji Lingfeng's visit.
So that he would have a plan.
As expected, Shen Chen frowned immediately upon hearing Grand Tutor Zhou's words, and he carefully recalled them in his mind for a long time.
No one could find General Ji.
He suddenly remembered that he had thought of his younger sister on the way here.
By the way, when he first left Xin'an County for the capital, his older sister told him that she had once saved someone using her own name.
Could it be that the person my younger sister saved is General Ji?
He didn't know how General Ji would react; he had only heard of his great name when he came to the capital.
He doesn't seem to have a very good temper.
He forced himself to walk up to Ji Lingfeng and said, "General Ji, it was nothing, not worth mentioning. There's really no need for you to make a special trip."
He Yu was furious when she heard what this imposter Shen Chen said and wanted to expose him.
But Ji Lingfeng, who was standing to the side, pulled him back and gave him a look that told him to shut up.
He had no choice but to suppress his anger and stand aside, wanting to see how this audacious person dared to impersonate Miss Shen's elder brother.
I'll see how well the master disciplines him later.
To his surprise, his master not only did not reprimand him, but also smiled very politely at him.
“Young Master Shen, it is necessary. If it weren’t for your small act of kindness back then, I would probably be beheaded long ago.”
When did his younger sister become so capable that she was able to rescue General Ji from danger?
He thought that the help his younger sister was talking about was simply delivering food and bandaging wounds.
How could it be so intense?
He couldn't help but feel a little scared. His younger sister was too bold. How dangerous must it have been for her to almost kill the mighty General Ji, the King of Hell?
He was about to write a letter to his younger sister, telling her never to be so impulsive again.
He didn't care whether or not to save people, but he couldn't put himself in danger.
"It's alright. Now that General Ji has fully recovered, I can say that I've done a good deed."
Ji Lingfeng gestured to Heyu to bring the items over.
He Yu didn't understand why his master would give a thank-you gift to an imposter.
He reluctantly presented the gold bars that he had prepared in advance.
“Young Master Shen, these are a small token of our master’s appreciation.”
Grand Tutor Zhou looked at the gold bars in front of him with some difficulty, as General Ji was being so generous.
However, given Chen'er's personality, she definitely wouldn't accept the money.
Just as he was making up his mind, Shen Chen accepted the gold bars.
This money was what his younger sister deserved for risking her life to save someone, so he accepted it on her behalf.
Tsuruha never expected that this imposter would dare to accept the money.
Just wait and see how his master deals with him later.
Seeing that Shen Chen had taken the money, Ji Lingfeng smiled and cupped his hands in thanks, "Young Master Shen, thank you again."
"General Ji, you are too polite. Now that I have accepted your thanks, you must not be so courteous in the future."
It means, I've accepted the money, but don't come looking for me again.
Ji Lingfeng pretended not to understand his meaning and replied with a smile, "Since Young Master Shen is my savior, then he is my friend. There is no need for friends to be so formal."
Shen Chen [...]
Whatever, anyway, after today he probably won't have any more contact with this general.
After Ji Lingfeng left, Shen Chen explained the whole story to Grand Tutor Zhou.
Grand Tutor Zhou stroked his beard. "I never expected that it was Cao'er who saved this person. However, your appearance is so different from Cao'er's that Ji Lingfeng couldn't possibly not recognize you."
Why didn't he expose you on the spot?
Shen Chen shook his head. "I don't know either. I'm puzzled too."
"If most people found out that I and his savior were not the same person, they would definitely expose me on the spot."
"Does he know Cao'er too?"
Shen Chen shook his head again, "I don't know, my younger sister has many friends, and I'm not home most of the time."
"It's possible that the two really do know each other."
"Then you should write a letter to Cao'er to remind her, whether you know her or not, you must let her know about this."
Shen Chen nodded.
"However, since it was Cao'er who saved her, she should indeed take the money."
"That's what the grass deserves."
After waiting for a while, Grand Tutor Zhou saw that Shen Chen was still standing in the same place and was a little puzzled. "Alright, the matter is resolved. You should go back and rest."
"You must be very tired after such a bumpy journey."
Shen Chen looked at the box in the corner and asked, "How did this box get here?"
"I'm afraid they won't understand and will break it."
"oh oh."
"Okay, go back quickly."
Seeing that Grand Tutor Zhou was so eager to send him away, Shen Chen knew that Grand Tutor Zhou was anxious to eat something delicious.
He abandoned his desire to continue teasing his master, yawned, and left.
As soon as Shen Chen left, Grand Tutor Zhou sent Steward Zhou away and locked the study door.
Hearing the lock click shut, Butler Zhou chuckled to himself.
Well, it seems the Grand Tutor is determined to hog all the spoils this time.
However, he was very curious about just how delicious the food was that his Grand Tutor had actually locked the door during the day, as if afraid that someone would steal it.
Ji Lingfeng was dozing off with his eyes closed in the carriage on his way back to the mansion.
He Yu, sitting next to him, seemed hesitant to speak.
"Ask anything you want to ask."
Upon hearing his master's words, He Yu immediately spoke up, "Master, you clearly knew that person was impersonating your savior, so why didn't you expose him?"
"How could someone like that be Grand Tutor Zhou's apprentice?"
Ji Lingfeng opened his eyes, looked at He Yu, and after a long while slowly spoke, "Use your brain and think it over carefully."
He Yu thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. He shook his head vigorously. "Master, stop being so mysterious."
"The person who saved me said her name was Shen Chen."
"Ah."
"What's the difference between this Shen Chen from the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the previous Shen Chen?"
"This Shen Chen is taller, that one is obviously not as tall."
"Moreover, the two look completely different."
"Grand Tutor Zhou's apprentice is named Shen Chen. He comes from Xin'an County and is Miss Shen's elder brother."
Crane Feather nodded.
"Grand Tutor Zhou obviously knows Miss Shen, and her elder brother would never mistake her. Besides, we were indeed in the Shen family's old house that day."
"In other words, the person who saved me was indeed a member of the Shen family."
"I understand," He Yu said excitedly after hearing his master's words.
