The Kang clan might have the audacity to welch on their debts with other people but never with her.
The butler wanted to arrange a carriage to send Zhao Chuchu home, but she rejected his offer.
Chang Hong, who had remained silent all this while, took the medicine box. Once they left the Kang residence, she asked Zhao Chuchu, “Was Kang Liang’s injuries so severe? I glanced at your prescription, and the medicines you prescribed him are all expensive.”
“He has money. Isn’t it normal for him to consume medicinal herbs that are pricier? Otherwise, it would not be befitting of his status,” said Zhao Chuchu as she grinned slightly. “After all, as long as he can be cured, he is willing to spend any money necessary. Moreover, it is not like I am profiting off the medicinal herbs he will need.”
“That is true. Kang Liang deserves better.” After saying this, Chang Hong could not help but laugh.
Over the next few days, Zhao Chuc.hu spent her time at the Ruyu Center teaching Jixiang.
As for Sikou Ming, he had to visit the Third Prince’s palace every day. He did not have the chance to pester Zhao Chuchu anymore, giving her peace and quiet.
The Third Prince tormented Sikou Ming to the point that he could not wait to sprout wings to fly back to Imperial City immediately.
Accompanying the Third Prince was not a humane job!
Sikou Ming even suspected that the Third Prince had become perverted after being ill for so long.
The Third Prince wanted to invite him to a brothel and pay for a prostitute for him. He even wanted Sikou Ming to have sex with the prostitute while he was in the same room!
No matter how horny Sikou Ming was, he could not fornicate with a woman in bed right in front of the Third Prince!
After he managed to dissuade the Third Prince from visiting a brothel, the latter wanted to tour around a lake.
With the Third Prince’s fragile body, did he want to swim in a lake?
Heavens, please make the Third Prince come to his senses!
If the former were to jump into the lake, the entire Guangqing Province would be flooded with rumors of Sikou Ming assassinating the Third Prince tomorrow. If that happened, he would not be able to talk his way out of that mess!
Sikou Ming had always remembered Sikou Zhendong’s advice not to offend the Third Prince.
Even though he was sent here to keep an eye on the Third Prince, Sikou Ming had initially planned to hide from the latter.
He had not expected that he would be pestered by the latter instead.
Sikou Ming had a very strong urge to die.
He didn’t even bother thinking about Zhao Chuchu and the beautiful girls. He only wanted to leave the Third Prince’s side immediately before he himself ended up dead.
Sikou Ming was in extreme turmoil internally, yet he still had to smile and laugh as though he was pleased.
Otherwise, the Third Prince would ask, “Mr. Sikou, you seem unhappy. Am I a bore to you? Sigh, oh well. I have never made friends before and don’t know how to interact with people. Mr. Sikou, please head back first. My cousin can keep me company!’
If Sikou Ming did not know that the Third Prince was neither interested in women nor men, he would have thought he had turned down the latter’s advances based on his self-deprecating speech.
Sikou Ming was so shocked that he had goosebumps. He feared that the Third Prince would become suicidal.
Before this, Sikou Ming never knew that traveling could also be a form of torture.
Unfortunately, he was dealing with the Third Prince, a target he could not refuse. Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and follow the Third Prince everywhere as the latter traveled around the Guangqing Province.
Sikou Ming could only comfort himself. At least he completed the mission given to him by his father by keeping an eye on the Third Prince.
On the other hand, when Qiao Heting discovered that Sikou Ming was suffering silently, he was overjoyed. He would cooperate with the Third Prince once in a while to torture Sikou Ming to the brink of the latter collapsing.
Sikou Ming was a famous star surrounded by his admirers when he was in Imperial City. However, after he came to the Guangqing Province, he was timid and was left without any help.
“Mr. Sikou, you seem to disapprove of Third Brother’s opinion.”
“Ah? What did he say? I was in a daze, so I missed what he said.”
Sikou Ming was suddenly brought back to reality and was on high alert.
He advised, “Third Heir, the wind here is strong. Your body is feeble. Why don’t we go back in first? If you catch a cold, I will never absolve myself of the blame.”
The Third Prince lamented, “Do you dislike me for having a weak constitution?
Alas, I know. Everyone treats me like a porcelain doll.. Life is so boring!’
