Chapter 7: 007 Alive

Chapter 7: 007 Lived

"Yes, Madam." Dong Mei hurriedly accepted the order and left.

Chu Qianchen carefully lifted Chu Yunmu’s head slightly. Immediately, two lines of bright red blood began to flow from his nostrils.

Chu Yunmu’s eyes were tightly closed, his pale face slightly blue, and his lips were purple. He was unconscious.

Chu Qianchen stared at Chu Yunmu without blinking, carefully observing every subtle change on his face. Every movement was delicate and cautious.

The servants around them watched Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunmu with burning eyes, whispering to each other in low tones, their expressions varying.

"Fourth Young Master must have hit his head. Can Second Miss really save him?"

"Madam’s courage is too great! Isn’t she afraid the Second Miss might harm Fourth Young Master?"

"Yeah, my sister-in-law’s younger brother fell from a height and became a fool from it."

"The physician should be arriving soon."

"…"

No one believed Chu Qianchen had the ability to save Chu Yunmu.

After all, Chu Yunmu had fallen from a great height, hitting his head and bleeding profusely. The head was the most important part of the body.

Under the intense gaze of the crowd, Chu Qianchen remained calm and composed, exuding the aura of someone unshaken even in the face of Mount Tai collapsing.

She carefully used a handkerchief to absorb the blood from Chu Yunmu’s nostrils. The originally white handkerchief was immediately stained red with blood, a startling sight.

Shen Shi looked on with a heart like a knife being twisted, clenching her fists...

The onlooking servants dared not even breathe, and soon, Dong Mei returned with a basin of cold water and a white towel.

Chu Qianchen instructed Dong Mei to place the wet towel on Chu Yunmu’s forehead, while she herself massaged his "four spirit points" with one hand and used the cold water to rinse his nose with the other...

Again and again.

Gu Nanzhao watched Chu Qianchen with burning eyes.

The sunlight gently cast a golden halo around Chu Qianchen, making her skin look like jade, glowing brilliantly. Gu Nanzhao couldn’t take his eyes off her.

His sister seemed even more beautiful!

Cough cough...

Suddenly, Chu Yunmu, who had been unconscious, coughed twice, and his eyelids fluttered slightly.

"Mu Ge’er! Mu Ge’er!" Shen Shi, unable to care for her dignified appearance as the lady of the house, was overcome with emotion and knelt down, tears streaming down her face.

The matriarch clasped her hands together, repeatedly muttering "Buddha protect him."

The onlookers stared, stunned and unable to believe that Chu Qianchen had so easily revived Chu Yunmu. Just a moment ago, Chu Yunmu had been bleeding from all seven orifices and looked as if he were about to die...

The wet nurse was even more dumbfounded.

Others might not know, but she was certain—she had just checked Fourth Young Master’s breath herself, and he had been completely lifeless.

Yet now, Fourth Young Master was alive!

The wet nurse quietly pinched her thigh. The pain confirmed to her that this was not a dream.

She felt a chill run down her spine when she remembered that she had only gone to the cleansing room for a moment. She never expected to return and find Fourth Young Master lying motionless on the ground, blood everywhere...

Fortunately, the Second Miss had snatched him back from the hands of the King of Hell!

The wet nurse almost collapsed, tears falling like rain down her cheeks.

She too had regained her life!

Only Chu Qianchen remained composed throughout, calm and unperturbed.

At this moment, Chu Yunmu’s eyelashes fluttered twice, and his eyeballs shifted beneath his eyelids.

"Mu Ge’er!" Shen Shi cried excitedly.

Chu Yunmu slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was dazed, unfocused, as if he were a little confused.

"Mother..."

Chu Yunmu instinctively called out, and as he moved, a soft, familiar female voice entered his ears: "Don't move." A pair of hands gently pressed down on his shoulders.

Although Chu Qianchen was confident in her ability to save him, seeing him wake up still brought her to the brink of tears. She quietly checked Chu Yunmu’s pulse again.

Shen Shi’s voice choked with emotion as she hurried to comfort him, "Mu Ge’er, listen to me, don’t move. Mother is here."

Chu Yunmu, still in a daze, obediently stopped moving. His discomfort caused him to let out a low groan, "Mother, my head hurts so much..."

"Mu Ge’er, bear with it. It’ll be fine soon," Shen Shi said lovingly as she wiped the dirt from his small face, her heart full of concern, with no one else in her eyes.

At that moment, someone fr om the back called out, "Physician Li from the Medical Hall has arrived!"

"Physician Li, this way!" A young maid led the way, and an elderly physician with gray hair hurried towards them, carrying a medicine box.

Shen Shi quickly turned to Physician Li, urging, "Physician Li, please take a look at Mu Ge’er."

Physician Li had been invited to see Chu Qianling’s face, but now, of course, Chu Yunmu's situation was more urgent, so he was hastily called here. Otherwise, calling another physician would waste more time.

As Physician Li arrived, he had already learned the basic situation from the maid and understood that a life was at stake. Without delay, he immediately began to carefully examine the injury on Chu Yunmu’s head, then placed three fingers on his left wrist to check his pulse.

The surroundings were silent, save for the sound of the wind rustling the leaves.

The servants held their breath, anxiously watching Physician Li.

After a moment, Physician Li put down his hand, his furrowed brow relaxed, and he spoke to Shen Shi, "Madam, Fourth Young Master fell and injured his head, but fortunately, the skull was not damaged, and there are no internal injuries. Fourth Young Master is lucky. Earlier, he had severe nasal bleeding, and the blood was flowing backwards, nearly choking him. But the situation was handled in time, so please rest assured, Madam, Fourth Young Master is no longer in danger."

"Thank you, Physician Li." Shen Shi’s face lit up with joy as she repeatedly thanked him.

The other people present couldn’t help but glance at Chu Qianchen. What Physician Li had just said was almost identical to what Chu Qianchen had explained.

The second miss really saved the fourth young master!

Physician Li continued, "Fourth Young Master must not move around too much now. Please bring a wooden board the size of a door to carefully lift him back, and be sure to handle him gently."

Upon hearing this, a servant quickly went to fetch the door board.

The others gathered around Chu Yunmu, no longer paying attention to Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen didn’t move closer. Mu Ge’er had survived, and he wouldn’t meet the same early death as in the previous life. That was enough.

A smile curved at the corner of her lips, her phoenix eyes sparkling like golden sunlight, dazzling and beautiful like the spring flowers blooming on the branches in April, fresh and full of vitality.

But when her gaze shifted to Liu Li, it turned cold, like a sword.

Liu Li flinched and lowered her head, nervously attempting to explain, "Miss, I…"

Chu Qianchen didn’t want to listen to Liu Li’s explanation.

She casually dismissed her, "It’s windy. Go get me a cloak."

Liu Li opened her mouth, then pressed her lips together but ultimately accepted the order, feeling uneasy.

After sending Liu Li away, Chu Qianchen walked towards the young maid who had gone to report to Rongfu Hall earlier, "Meier, I remember your name is Meier, right?"

The young maid stopped and turned around. She curtsied to Chu Qianchen and replied, "I am Meier, Miss. I usually work in the garden, responsible for sweeping."

"You said earlier that Fourth Young Master fell while trying to pick up a kite from the rockery?" Chu Qianchen asked.

Meier obediently nodded and answered, "Yes."

"But did you see it with your own eyes?" Chu Qianchen asked again.

Meier nodded again, but her gaze shifted uneasily.

Chu Qianchen was certain that Meier knew more than she was letting on.

She deliberately questioned her, "Since you saw Fourth Young Master going to pick up the kite, why didn’t you help him?"

Meier was startled, her face turning pale, afraid of being punished.

She quickly replied, "I saw Eldest Miss, so I didn’t go over."

Chu Qianchen’s mind immediately pictured a delicate, bright face—her elder sister, Chu Qianhuang!
