Yi Xin as a concubine

Chapter 142 Chu Xingchen "Injured"

Chu Xingchen is back, but his body is obviously not suitable for moving now. The day after tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, so in order not to arouse suspicion, Xin Baoer asked Wangchuan and Huang Ji to direct and act in a play.

The next day, just after daybreak, the snow outside had stopped, and the clear sound of fighting came into the house from the roof. Several women sleeping in the yard woke up one after another. When they heard the fighting, they were so scared that their faces turned pale and they huddled in their quilts, not daring to make any sound.

"Master, be careful." Wangchuan's voice was filled with anxiety and fear, and everyone knew what had happened at once.

"Thump" something heavy fell from the roof.

"Master." Wangchuan shouted miserably again.

"Bi...Bijun, go...go and see what happened?" Xiang Qing whispered, her teeth chattering with fear.

Bijun was also afraid, but she was a servant and could not disobey her master's orders. She trembled and moved to the window step by step, carefully sticking her head out to look.

"Ah! Blood, so much blood!" At just one glance, Bijun fell to the ground in fright, screaming incoherently.

“Wangchuan, take the Second Master to heal his wounds, leave this to me.” He said as he flew onto the roof and then his figure disappeared. He looked so anxious, as if he was going to chase someone.

Wei Yu left, and Wang Chuan picked up the unconscious man covered in blood and ran out of the yard quickly.

Xu and Zheng ran out of the house almost at the same time, their eyes met in the air, with obvious gloating.

"what happened?"

Seeing that there was no movement outside, Xiang Qing ran out with the weak-legged Bijun. As soon as they came out, they saw blood on the snow, which was particularly conspicuous against the white snow.

"Oh, madam, we were so scared. The second master must have been stabbed by an assassin just now. Let's go and take a look. He is covered in blood. We don't know if he can get better." Zheng Youlan said in a sad tone.

"Yes, ma'am, it's too scary." Xu Yingxue said anxiously with a sneer in her eyes.

They have to go over and take a look. Maybe if he dies, they can get out of this godforsaken place.

Xiang Qing's eyes were uncertain, but filled with real anxiety. She knew clearly that Chu Xingchen could not die.

If he died, all her husband's previous efforts would be in vain. She was a woman herself and Xiaobao was still so young, no one would obey her and her mother. By then, they would be helpless and helpless.

"Hurry, hurry over and take a look. How could he be so useless? There were assassins but he didn't even know to hide and let the guards go instead of rushing forward? He is really no match for them..." Xiang Qing complained as she jogged.

"Madam, stop talking, we're here." Bijun interrupted her master's ridiculous words at the right time. Xiang Qing, who reacted, was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

He looked around at Xu and Zheng and saw that they seemed not to have heard what he had just said and were craning their necks to look into the yard. Only then did he relax.

They pushed open the courtyard gate and ran inside hastily. As soon as they reached the door, a basin of blood-red water rushed towards them. The three girls were so frightened that their faces suddenly changed color and they all took a few steps back. Zhan Zhan avoided the blood.

"You slut, don't you have eyes? Can't you see several living people?" Xu Yingxue, who was always domineering, started cursing immediately.

The faces of the other few people darkened almost visibly.

"I'm sorry, Madam. I'm sorry to both young ladies. I didn't mean to do that. I was just too anxious. Second Master's bleeding couldn't be stopped. I couldn't change the water fast enough to keep up with the blood flow."

"Oh, I'm too busy. Could you three masters lend a hand and boil some hot water? Please, please. I'll apologize to you masters later. I have to go and get the water quickly." After saying this, Lancao ran away in fear and trepidation. She really looked very anxious.

"Bijun, go to the kitchen to help. You two wait outside. I'll go in and see how Achen is doing." Xiang Qing said to herself, and without paying any attention to the abnormal expressions of the women, she pushed open the half-closed door and walked in.

inside the house.

Xin Baoer and others were "busy" in an orderly manner, and no one paid any attention when they heard the door open.

When Xiang Qing walked to the kang, she just saw Xin Baoer leaning over and hugging Chu Xingchen's waist. Chu Xingchen's face was pale, but he looked at the girl who was busy for him with a gentle expression.

The ambiguity between the two of them was like building a high wall that did not allow others to approach casually.

Such a scene hurt Xiang Qing's eyes. She grabbed Xin Baoer's collar and threw her backwards without any hesitation. Others didn't have time to stop her.

Xin Baoer didn't expect her to be so rude. She was pulled back and the collar was tightly around her neck. After being busy and worried all night, Xin Baoer, who was already exhausted and physically weak, almost suffocated. When Xiang Qing let her go, she started coughing violently.

"You vixen, it's already this time and you still don't forget to seduce a man, do you have any shame?" Xiang Qing's eyes turned red with anger and she cursed.

Wei Yu was terrified. He helped Xin Baoer, who was lying on the ground, up and kept patting her back to help her calm down. He stared at Xiang Qing with cold eyes, like a poisonous snake ready to pounce. One strike would surely take Xiang Qing's life.

Xiang Qing's scalp was numb from being stared at, but she finally regained her composure and said in a trembling voice, "I didn't use any strength, I won't die, why are you pretending?"

"Xiang Qing, what are you doing?" A majestic and angry voice sounded from behind. Xiang Qing then remembered the purpose of her coming here and immediately put on an anxious look.

"Achen, I heard you were injured. Where was he injured? Is it serious?"

"Second Master, you scared me to death. It hurts somewhere. Let me rub it." Xu Yingxue followed closely and asked in a coquettish voice. Her expression showed just the right amount of worry, but her tone sounded uncomfortable.

Chu Xingchen felt like his ears were being tortured. He had just been woken up by Xin Baoer and was cooperating with them in the performance. He was still a little dizzy due to excessive blood loss.

"Wei Yu, is Bao'er okay?" The weak voice of concern warmed Xin Bao'er's heart, who had just recovered, but chilled Xiang Qing's heart.

"You still have time to care about her, Achen. Don't you hate it when someone touches you? How can you be indifferent to what she did to you just now? Why didn't you push her away?"

Xiang Qing asked like crazy, Chu Xingchen couldn't help but frowned, "What are you doing? Can't you see Bao'er bandaging my wound again?"

Xiang Qing suddenly froze, looking at Chu Xingchen's waist with empty eyes. The deep red color showing through the white gauze made her close her eyes uncomfortably. Then she clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and remained silent stubbornly.

But no one paid attention to her appearance. After Xin Baoer recovered, she returned to Chu Xingchen immediately and continued the unfinished bandaging. She could not give others the opportunity to get close and check, otherwise the sutured wound would be exposed and half the night's performance would be in vain.

Xu and Zheng stood behind Xiang Qing, looking at Chu Xingchen curiously. Seeing that the wound on his waist was still bleeding and the clothes he had taken off on the ground were stained with blood, they couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths slightly, and quickly lowered their heads to hide the gloating in their eyes.

Bandaging was just a show, so Xin Baoer clearly sensed the "good mood" of the two women. In between her work, she couldn't help but look up and glared at them fiercely.

But in her heart she was thinking, "Stupid things, they really thought that if Chu Xingchen died, they could turn things around, but then they wouldn't even know how they died."

Chu Xingchen had been keeping an eye on Xin Baoer. Seeing her angry and contemptuous look, he could probably guess what she was thinking. He hid his hand inside and gently patted the little girl who was speaking up for him to comfort her.

When Xin Baoer looked up, she met those eyes full of tenderness and comfort. Her heartbeat quickened for no reason. She quickly lowered her head and finished the work at hand, but her movements were somewhat flustered.

Chu Xingchen was touched by her cuteness again. He curled the corners of his lips in a restrained manner and felt much better.

When he was in a good mood, extra people seemed to be an eyesore, so Chu Xingchen drove them away with an expressionless face.

"Alright, don't just stand here. Bao'er and Wangchuan are all that's needed here. Everyone else can do whatever they need to do. Wangchuan, see the guests off. I need to rest."

"Yes." Wangchuan replied.

"Ladies, please go out first. I have lost too much blood and need to rest."

"I see that Sister Xin is not in a very good mental state. I think she was frightened. Why don't you let Sister go back and rest, and I will take care of you!" Zheng Youlan said softly and sincerely.
