?Chapter 329: Chapter 316: Holding a Grudge Chapter 329: Chapter 316: Holding a Grudge “Miss Zhuang, there’s no need for such a formal gesture. Last night, I simply happened to be passing by in the middle of a nighttime journey. It was no more than a small effort for me, and there’s no need for you to concern yourself about it to such an extent.”
Chu Jinnian said, “It was indeed fortunate that you fought back valiantly last night, delaying time and preventing Jiang Yu and his accomplices from escaping. Now, Mr. Xu, the county magistrate, has arrested Jiang Yu and the other four, and the kidnapped victims are being returned home. Your actions have brought peace to our place and you have made an irreplaceable contribution.”
“If we were to closely examine the situation, you should be rewarded for your bravery. There’s absolutely no need to thank me.”
“I feel somewhat embarrassed,” Zhuang Qingning chuckled awkwardly. “When it happened last night, the first thing that came to mind was to save myself. I didn’t think about the other aspects much. I feel somewhat undeserving of such praise.”
And that’s exactly how it was.
Given the circumstances, she didn’t try to save those people out of obligation, but because escaping by carriage was simply the fastest option, and saving those people happened along the way.
“Attain self-preservation when poor, seek benefits for others when prosperous” was Zhuang Qingning’s life motto, even in times of danger.
Being praised for these actions now, Zhuang Qingning found it slightly uncomfortable.
“Miss Zhuang, that’s not right.”
“Although you were considering your own safety, you nonetheless ended up helping others. From their perspective, it was a lifesaving grace. From the county government’s point of view, you’re a person of merit. There’s no doubt about that.”
