Gu Zhentang was not a physician, so he did not know the cause of Aran’s chill-related illness, but he began to blame Chu Hengyuan regardless.
"Father, this has nothing to do with him," Aran said, pulling Chu Hengyuan to his feet after Gu Zhentang had roused him. "It’s a condition I brought upon myself by being careless about the cold. How can you blame him? If it weren't for him, your daughter would have been reporting to the King of Hell years ago. Instead of thanking him, you’re blaming him—that’s completely unreasonable!"
"That’s right, Uncle Gu," Leng Zhan added, coming to their defense. "Our Prince truly keeps Xiao Jiu in his heart at all times. If you ever have the chance to visit Xuan Manor in the Capital, just ask anyone there. See if our Prince has ever wronged Xiao Jiu, if she isn't the only mistress of the estate, and if the Prince isn't entirely at her beck and call. He truly treats her as if she were something he could hold in his palm for fear she might fall, or keep in his mouth for fear she might melt."
