Chapter 5.03 – Blessings

Jin Cui entered quickly. Seeing Xiang Han’s appearance, she was utterly stunned. She walked over, ignoring Xu Yan Ze, and began to dab at his clothes while enduring her heartache, “Young Master, how did this happen? Young Miss…”

Xu Yan Ze abruptly let out a low cough and raised his eyebrows, watching them with intrigue.

Jin Cui immediately became awkward, as if she’d just seen him, and bowed while greeting him in a low voice, “Young Mistress.” Then she turned back around and continued to help Xiang Han wipe himself.

She had been one of the servants by the old mistress’s side in the past, but was transferred into Jin Bao Han’s service two years ago to take care of his daily needs. Assisting Jin Bao Han, she was the most respected person after the wet nurse Wang Shi.

Although ‘Yan Xiao Ze’ was a young mistress in name, there wasn’t anyone in the Jin family who didn’t know he was bought to help the young master overturn his luck. Therefore, although Jin Cui appeared respectful on the surface, she didn’t take him seriously at all.

Xu Yan Ze had seen too many conspiracies and calculative people in his life. He completely didn’t put Jin Cui, this sort of cannon fodder, in his eyes at all and instead he sat by the side and stared at the two people in interest.

If he was right, this servant was probably arranged to warm the young master’s bed? Tsk tsk, look at that little fool who’d get wet with just a touch and cry throughout. How could he possibly satisfy that servant? Why not let him… cough, cough, he had gotten distracted.

However, the little fool was so white and chubby, extremely comfortable to touch. Xu Yan Ze reminisced on yesterday’s taste, his fingertips felt a light itch as his gaze grew increasingly deep.

Xiang Han was in a dilemma. He turned slightly, wanting to evade Jin Cui, but she was just wiping his forehead, causing him to hiss in pain.

Startled, she hurriedly came closer and asked, “What happened? Are you hurt?”

“It’s nothing.” Xiang Han quickly moved away to avoid her, holding his head as he asked, “Where’s the hot water?”

Jin Cui froze for a second. “I’ve already ordered the servants to go prepare it, they’ll be here soon.”

Xiang Han hummed an affirmative and went off to bathe himself.

Jin Cui continued to stand on the same spot, only coming back to her senses after a moment. She hesitantly took two steps forwards, and asked cautiously, “Young Master, you’re… clear-headed?”

“Hmm? Ah… It seems to be the case.” Xiang Han acted as if he’d just recovered, throwing her a bashful smile.

Jin Cui was stunned. A moment later, she clasped her hands in agitation and exclaimed, “That’s great! You’re really blessed by the Buddha. If the old mistress knew this, she’d be overjoyed. Right, right, this servant will go inform her now.”

She dashed out after throwing down these words, but Xiang Han didn’t know if it was from happiness, or the hope that she would receive a reward.

Xiang Han wanted to stop her, but seeing Nanny Wang Shi arrive along with some others, he hurriedly came to a stop. He turned towards Xu Yan Ze, whose legs were crossed as he watched the show, “Hurry and get up.”

If he was seen by Wang Shi, she’d definitely inform the old mistress and complain of his lack of etiquette.

Xu Yan Ze glanced at him briefly before he slowly got up and brushed his clothes. He stood by the side, adopting a humble appearance. Xiang Han held his forehead, momentarily at a loss as he looked at his disheveled clothes.

Wang Shi saw Jin Cui sprinting out from the room and immediately stopped her. “Where are you going in a rush? Aren’t you supposed to be serving the young master and the young mistress? Why’re you running so quickly?”

“It’s not, it’s…” Jin Cui wanted to explain, but stopped when she thought of quickly informing the old mistress to reap some benefits. In the end, she stood there awkwardly.

Wang Shi didn’t pursue this matter, bringing her people into the room. Watching this from the side, Jin Cui silently slipped away.

Wang Shi’s expression was terrible. The moment she entered, she wanted to ask Xu Yan Ze why he hadn’t served the tea yet? But seeing Xiang Han clutch his head, she grew flustered, “Young Master, what’s wrong? Let Nanny take a look…”

Saying so, she peeled off Xiang Han’s hands and immediately saw a purple bruise the size of a thumb. She began to cry, “Who-Who is so evil as to hit you? Does it hurt? Don’t be afraid, tell Nanny who hit you, I’ll definitely let the old mistress know and she’ll take revenge for you.”

The more Wang Shi spoke, the fiercer she became, glaring furiously at Xu Yan Ze by the side.

The ‘evil’ Xu Yan Ze, “…”

Xiang Han was practically sweating in his heart, hurriedly pulling on Wang Shi’s hands as he explained, “Nanny, no one hit me. I accidently knocked myself.”

Perhaps the original host had accidentally slipped and fell while fighting against Yan Xiao Ze? In any case, Xiang Han wasn’t too sure.

“Young Master, you must not conceal this matter. You’ve just gotten married…” Wang Shi spoke mid-sentence when she was dumbfounded. Her lips trembled, “Young Master, you’re… alright?”

“Yeah, looks like it. After seeing Wifey, I don’t know how, but I became clear-headed,” Xiang Han said in embarrassment.

Hearing his words, Xu Yan Ze grew doubtful and wondered, had his technique last night been so amazing as to make this little fool acquire a strange taste and fall for him?

Wang Shi was overjoyed, but also heart-broken, immediately grabbing onto his hands as she bawled, “This marriage must have blessed you. Thank the heavens, truly. That old monk…no, that great master was right, you’ve really recovered after marriage.”

Very quickly, the old mistress came over with Jin Cui supporting her. Seeing Xiang Han’s clear gaze that didn’t resemble his dumb look from the past and how he no longer stuttered when he talked, the rims of her eyes grew red. Her disbelief in Jin Cui’s words went down by half.

“Xiao Bao1, do you know who I am?” Holding her cane, she hobbled into the room unsteadily.

Wang Shu pulled Xiang Han over while wiping her tears in happiness, “Old Madam, this is truly a blessing. The great master was right, marriage was truly effective. The young master has recovered!”

Xiang Han’s expression also warped into one full of admiration as he called, “Grandmother.”

“Ah,” The old mistress teared up, holding his hands as she choked back her sobs, “You’re speaking so clearly. You’ve really recovered…”

Xu Yan Ze stood by the side silently, watching them. He never had any close relatives, and after the apocalypse struck, he had seen too many people betray their own family and friends. His heart had long gone cold, but at this moment as he was watching this scene, a sudden sense of envy rose in his heart. This little fool’s life was truly blessed.

Grandmother and grandson hugged each other for a long time, crying, before Wang Shi managed to console them. Xiang Han was under the influence of the original host, and with his grandmother’s infectious emotions, he had also begun to cry.

Xu Yan Ze was rather surprised by this. He had thought Xiang Han was like him, having transmigrated over. But seeing the little fool’s current state, it didn’t seem like an act. Had he been wrong?

The old mistress finally managed to hold back her tears and remembered that her granddaughter-in-law was also present before shifting her gaze over.

Seeing his absent-minded appearance, as if he didn’t care for her grandson, the old mistress’s expression chilled. She ordered, “Having delayed for so long, it’s time to serve tea. Surnamed Yan, why aren’t you helping your husband take a bath and change his clothes?”

The so-called surnamed ‘Yan’, “…”
