THUD!
Zhao Rushuang felt as if she'd been struck by lightning.
First, her face was filled with surprise. Then, she shot to her feet in alarm. And now, she had collapsed limply back into her chair.
The real reason she had visited Chu Lingguang and had Wu Xiaolian keep an eye on him was that she was doing someone a favor. Her close friend, Liu Qingqing, had written to her explaining that while Chu Lingguang came from a Humble Family, he was tenacious, resilient, and unafraid of hardship. He was an honorable and loyal person worth befriending. Liu Qingqing had asked her to lend Chu Lingguang a hand at a critical moment, assuring her that he would never forget the kindness and would certainly repay it one day.
Zhao Rushuang didn't care about being repaid by Chu Lingguang in the future.
As a Commandery Princess who lived a pampered life, 'What do I lack?'
