Quick Wear: Saving Three Thousand Matches

A seemingly inconspicuous but actually low-key and luxurious carriage is driving slowly on the bustling and bustling Changle Street.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of traffic, a piercing scream suddenly rang out: "Ouch!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, but saw a disheveled and dirty beggar falling in front of the carriage without any warning.

The driver sitting in the front of the carriage suddenly panicked, stammering in a panic: "Sir... yes, yes... he suddenly rushed out and bumped into me. I... I... definitely didn't touch him... It's not my fault..."

As he spoke, his face turned pale. He turned his head in fear and hurriedly explained to Yun Chenyu who was sitting in the carriage.

At this time, the crowd around also began to talk about it.

Someone shouted, "This is Prime Minister Yun's carriage. How dare a mere beggar come and blackmail Prime Minister Yun? He's absolutely audacious!"

Another person echoed, "That's right, no one has ever had the guts to provoke Prime Minister Yun. Isn't he, a beggar, afraid of losing his head?"

Someone else said, "Humph, he's just a beggar with nothing, so naturally he wouldn't be afraid of death. It's his bad luck that he ran into Prime Minister Yun's carriage today!"

However, some people disagreed: "You can't say that. I just saw with my own eyes that he was indeed hit by the carriage."

Another voice retorted, "What do you mean by being knocked down? From what I can see, it's clear that he was walking without paying attention and accidentally stepped on a banana peel, and then fell out."

For a while, all kinds of speculations and debates arose one after another, making it very lively.

"..."

Listening to the discussions around him, Yun Chenyu frowned and quickly asked the servants in the car to take the little beggar who was still whimpering on the ground to a nearby clinic.

The little beggar had fainted and was now lying on the bed in the clinic.

The doctor examined her for a while and said, "It's just a few scrapes on her knees, nothing serious else. However, she hasn't eaten for several days, and coupled with the collision, she fainted."

As the doctor spoke, he stood up, wrote a prescription and handed it to Yun Chenyu.

He had just noticed that the little beggar stepped on something and fell over, and was then knocked down by the carriage.

Regardless, he has a responsibility.

"Let's take him back home first." Yun Chenyu said, it's just one more mouth to feed.

"Sir, if the old lady finds out about this, I'm afraid..."

"I'll explain it myself, don't worry."

Finally, the little beggar was taken back to the Yun family.

In the inferior room in the Yun family's side courtyard, the little beggar was lying on the bed.

The servant in the side yard was just about to take off her clothes when the little beggar woke up.

When she saw someone trying to take off her clothes, she chased them away without saying a word.

"I'll wash it myself, you guys go out first."

"Ah... this little beggar is so strong, I'm afraid he's not pretending to be unconscious."

"Anyway, he's already here, and there's someone to help us share the burden."

"That's right. Let Sister Qingyu arrange for him to work in the laundry house and have him wash clothes for us."

Listening to the chatter outside, the little beggar rolled his eyes.

I have condescended to wash your clothes, do you dare to wear them?

The little beggar was Jin Jiusi, who was too bored staying in the palace and went out to play.

She had been thinking of some way to get into the Prime Minister's Mansion and get close to Yun Chenyu, but she finally decided to dress up as a beggar and act pitiful to gain sympathy. However, before she could carry out her plan, she was accidentally hit by a banana peel.

Kong Kong: So many tricks...

Jin Jiusi felt a sharp pain in his left foot, and he endured the severe pain and limped towards the screen in the inner room.

She was indeed pretending to be unconscious, and she only woke up when she heard these people say they were going to clean her body.

Half an hour had passed by the time Jin Jiusi finally climbed out of the bathtub with difficulty.

She put on clean clothes and moved step by step to the bed. As soon as she sat down, Feng Wu appeared.

"Your Highness, I am sorry for my failure to protect you well. Please punish me." Feng Wu knelt on one knee on the ground and bowed his head respectfully.

"It's okay. The Yun Mansion is heavily guarded. You should try to show up less often in the future." Jin Jiusi said.

"But Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered my subordinates to ensure your safety..." Feng Wu replied.

"Safe? I can definitely defeat you within three moves. Do you think I'm still the delicate princess who's plagued by illness?" Jin Jiusi said with a chuckle.

Kong Kong: [Master, the Lord of the Underworld in this world seems to be a sister-con. If he knew you were out of the palace, he would actually...]

Ever since the master came to his senses, he has become more proactive.

Upon hearing this, Jin Jiusi said to Feng Wu, who was kneeling on the ground, "The court meeting of all nations is about to begin. Go to the post station and keep an eye on the envoys from the Nanli Kingdom. If you find anything unusual, inform me immediately. Go now, and there is no need to return to the palace to report."

Kong Kong: I thought you weren’t afraid, hahaha…

"I... obey your command." Feng Wu replied, his tone a little hesitant.

After saying that, he glanced at Jin Jiusi intentionally or unintentionally, then slipped away.

At night, a bloody smell filled the air from the cloudy and rainy yard.

At this time, Yun Chenyu's forehead was covered with sweat and his face was as pale as paper.

"Young Master... wuwuwu... The old lady is too cruel, she has gone too far..."

Xiao Shu wiped the blood off the back of Yun Chenyu who was sitting upright on the bed while wiping away her tears.

"Xiao Shu, don't cry, you will be fine in a few days." Yun Chenyu comforted him in a weak voice.

"The young master has just recovered from his old injury, and now he has a new one..." Xiao Shu cried in pain.

His son is the most gentle and kind person in the world, but his wife is...

"Okay, go and pour the water out quickly." Yun Chenyu ordered.

Xiao Shu stood up, picked up a basin of blood, and walked out angrily.

Yun Chenyu lay down, closed his eyes, and looked very tired.

After a while, he felt a cool and slippery sensation on his back, which actually relieved the stinging sensation in the wound on his back a lot.

He opened his eyes slightly and said, "Xiao Shu, it's been hard following me around this mansion. Thank you for your hard work."

"..."

"Okay, I'll try not to make my mother angry in the future, so you don't have to apply medicine for me all the time."

"..."

"Why aren't you talking?"

Yun Chenyu didn't hear Xiao Shu's reply, so he turned around and found that the person applying the medicine to him was not Xiao Shu, but the little beggar he rescued three days ago.

"Young Master, I'm...I'm sorry..." Jin Jiusi seemed to be frightened and couldn't speak clearly.

Yun Chenyu was really angry, but when he saw the little beggar's lively eyes, he became a little dazed and his anger subsided a little.

"You don't need to apply it. Just go out first and don't come into this place casually in the future."

How could a stranger enter his room so openly?

Jin Jiusi put away the ointment, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

It's almost done anyway, there's no point in leaving it on now.
