After everything that had happened, the young maid already saw Ye Chutang as her rock.
At only thirteen or fourteen, how could she not be afraid after what she'd just been through? She had been forcing herself to be brave, and her anxious heart only settled once she saw Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang handed her a handkerchief. "Are you hurt?"
As she spoke, her gaze swept over Han Yao, making the target of her question obvious.
Su Pei'er fought back tears and shook her head. "Don't worry, Doctor Ye. We're fine. It's just Mr. Han..."
"You carried him out?"
Su Pei'er finally noticed the large crowd that had gathered outside. Seeing the soldiers arrayed in formation behind Ye Chutang, she hesitated and bit her lip.
"Doctor Ye, what is all this...?"
Ye Chutang gave her a reassuring look. "Don't worry. The Heir of Duke Dingbei is here. He will surely see that justice is done for you."
Behind her, Shen Yanchuan's brow arched slightly upon hearing her words.
