After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world

"Here, apply this ointment to the blisters on your feet to relieve the pain."

Chuchu's voice was soft and melodious, like celestial music floating from distant clouds, penetrating into Sun Ying's ears.

As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, her eyes fixed on Sun Ying, as if she wanted to find out some secret from her face.

Sun Ying looked back at Chu Chu in confusion. She desperately searched her mind for memories of this woman, but found nothing.

She was sure that she had never seen the person in front of her before, but the other party handed her the ointment at this moment like an angel, which made her heart full of gratitude and confusion.

With her hands trembling slightly, she took the porcelain bottle handed to her by Chuchu. The porcelain bottle carried Chuchu's body temperature, as if injecting a touch of warmth into her cold heart. Her eyes were red, and her voice was choked with sobs as she said, "Thank you very much, young lady, for your timely help. I don't know how I can repay you."

Chu Chu looked at Sun Ying's pitiful appearance, and her doubts grew even more intense.

She wondered why Ling Feng was so attentive to such a stranger. Could it be that they had a secret past? She bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Are you and Ling Feng... old acquaintances?"

Sun Ying shook her head in bewilderment and said, "I don't know Mr. Ling Feng. Why do you ask?"

Chuchu frowned slightly, and the mystery in her heart became more and more intense. She looked at Sun Ying deeply, wanting to say something but stopping herself. In the end, she just sighed softly and turned away.

Sun Ying was left sitting there alone, looking at the ointment in her hand with confusion, wondering what secret was hidden behind this sudden kindness.

Not only Chu Chu was confused, but even Wang and Chu Yinyin were puzzled.

Chu Yinyin frowned and took the initiative to attack, "Brother, why did you assign me to deliver medicine to that woman? How can you be so worthy of Miss Murong? Miss Murong loves you deeply, and by doing this, aren't you letting her down?"

Chu Yinyin became angrier and angrier as she spoke, her face flushing red. In her eyes, her brother's behavior at this moment was no different from that of a heartless and ungrateful person. It was really despicable that he was playing two-timing. How could he be worthy of Murong Ling'er if he acted like that?

Wang's brows furrowed, her heart filled with displeasure. "Lingfeng, what exactly do you mean? Miss Murong is a good girl with both good character and good looks, yet you're now flirting with another woman. Why? Even though that woman looks pretty, weak, and pitiful, our family has no connection with her. When is it your turn to worry about her affairs?"

Seeing that everyone misunderstood him, Chu Lingfeng opened his mouth but was speechless for a moment. What happened back then was extremely complicated, involved a lot of people, and was of great importance. He could not talk about it easily at this time.

But he didn't want to be misunderstood by his family, so after careful consideration, he reluctantly found an excuse: "To be honest, this is a request from an old friend. He begged me to take care of Miss Sun. I once had a life-or-death relationship with him, so since he asked, I can't refuse. Miss Sun is not aware of this matter, so please don't be suspicious, and don't be prejudiced against her."

Chuchu was thinking about it secretly, going through all the possibilities in her mind, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

Hearing this, the tense string in her heart suddenly relaxed, but the pitiful appearance of Miss Sun unconsciously emerged in her mind, and a strange feeling arose in her heart. She wondered if there was any other hidden story behind this.

Wang sat upright, a trace of worry in her eyes. She spoke earnestly to Chu Lingfeng, "Lingfeng! Miss Murong has been incredibly kind to our Chu family. She's our benefactor. You absolutely must not let her down. Especially when it comes to matters between men and women, you must be wholeheartedly devoted to her."

Chu Lingfeng was about to speak when Wang Shi continued, "You are now responsible for taking care of Miss Sun. Although it was only entrusted by an old friend, she is a woman after all, and it is extremely difficult to handle the situation properly. To avoid unnecessary trouble, we will handle these matters. You must not interfere, so as to avoid gossip and misunderstandings from others."

"Also, you must inform Miss Murong. Don't let her feel any resentment or be unhappy. Tell others! Just say that you felt sorry for Miss Sun and were just offering a helping hand. Don't say too much, or she might develop other thoughts and become attached to you."

Chu Lingfeng listened to his mother's instructions, feeling both angry and amused. He shrugged helplessly and said, "Mother, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I don't have any romantic feelings for that Miss Sun."

He thought to himself that if she was truly the one he was looking for, he only intended to secretly protect her and help her start a new life, which would be worthy of Madam Sun's trust. As for marrying her, not to mention that the elders who had arranged the marriage had all passed away, he already had someone in his heart and could not force himself to do such a thing. Marriage should be based on mutual love. If it was forced only out of responsibility and morality, it would be a pain for both of them.

Wang listened to her son's words and nodded slightly. She couldn't help but sigh, "It's great that you think so. However, this matter needs to be handled properly. Don't hurt Miss Murong's feelings."

Murong Ling'er was wearing a blue silk dress and was standing in the water catching fish.

Chu Yinyin stood aside hesitantly, wanting to say something but hesitant.

Murong Ling'er looked at her, feeling uncomfortable as if she had lice on her body, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you? Just say whatever you want to say."

Chu Yinyin's face flushed crimson instantly. She stole a glance at Murong Ling'er, and seeing that she didn't look unhappy, she bit her lip and mustered up the courage to say, "It's like this. My brother has been asked to take care of a young lady, and I thought it would be best to tell Miss Murong about this to avoid any misunderstandings in the future."

Murong Ling'er frowned slightly when she heard this, her heart full of doubts: Why did they come to tell me about the Chu family's affairs? She looked at Chu Yinyin's uncomfortable face, and her heart became more and more puzzled.

Chu Yinyin originally thought that Murong Ling'er would be happy to hear this and would forgive her past rude behavior, but she didn't expect that she didn't seem to understand her intention, which made Chu Yinyin even more uneasy.

"Do you know something about my elder brother..." Chu Yinyin had just uttered a few words when her voice stopped abruptly as if something was choking her throat.

Murong Ling'er, who had been concentrating on gazing at the koi in the pond, was completely confused by this sudden, half-spoken remark. She turned her head and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Master Chu, what's wrong with you? Why did you stop mid-sentence?"

Chu Yinyin's face flushed red, like a ripe tomato. She hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to say, "My eldest brother...my eldest brother has you in his heart."

After saying this, Chu Yinyin wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. It was all because her elder brother was such a taciturn person on weekdays and never mentioned a word about matters of the heart. Now, she was forced to act like a reckless clown and say these embarrassing words in front of Murong Linger.

If Miss Sun hadn't suddenly appeared and made everyone uneasy, she wouldn't have been so rash as to come and express her feelings on behalf of her eldest brother.

When Murong Ling'er heard this, she stood there as if she was under a spell.
