Chapter 85 Gossip, could she be the eldest sister-in-law?
"Yao Xing, since I won't let you in, I must have my reasons. Why do you insist on forcing your way in?"
"Brother, what you said really hurts my heart. Didn't Mo Yun say that you were not feeling well? I was worried about you, so I wanted to come and see you and show my concern for you. But who knew..."
He laughed and said with a teasing look, "Big brother is simply deceiving me."
Seeing him like this, Chen Mu knew that he must have known about Su Huanyan's existence, so he stopped playing tricks on him.
"Yao Xing, this matter is very serious. Remember to watch your mouth."
Hearing this, Shen Yaoxing immediately became unhappy, curled his lips, and said, "Am I the kind of person who talks too much?"
"Don't worry, big brother. I know the severity of the situation. I snuck in here tonight because I really care about you, and secondly, well, I admit I was just too curious."
"Who told Big Brother to sneakily call Shen Qingyi here in the middle of the night and also ordered all the servants not to come to your place? Isn't it obvious that you have a secret here?"
"Brother, you know I'm naturally very curious, so I wouldn't miss something like this."
Chen Mu: “…”
"Alright, just don't tell anyone. Did you come to see me for anything other than curiosity? If not, then go back quickly."
"Wait, don't rush me."
Chen Yaoxing took a step forward, walked to Chen Mu's side, nudged him with his elbow, and said in a wicked voice, "Brother, have you really thought it through?"
"What have you thought of?"
Chen Mu looked at him indifferently.
"Tsk, stop pretending to be confused," Chen Yaoxing rolled his eyes and said lazily, "Brother, how could you not understand what I'm saying?"
"It's okay if you insist on me explaining it clearly, brother, are you really determined to let her be our sister-in-law?"
Chen Mu squinted his eyes and looked at him sideways, "You should take care of your own business first. I heard that the princess and the young marquis are getting married soon."
Chen Yaoxing: “…”
He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Brother, are you still my brother? You have to stick a knife in my heart and rub salt into my wounds, right?"
"I'm just reminding you kindly." Chen Mu chuckled.
Chen Yaoxing snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes and said sinisterly, "There are still a few months left, why rush? If you want to marry the princess, it depends on whether Lu is lucky enough."
Chen Mu: “…”
He was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice to warn, "Yaoxing, don't mess around, don't cause trouble."
"Haha, I'm just kidding, big brother, you won't take it seriously, right?"
Chen Yaoxing suddenly burst into laughter. He patted Chen Mu's shoulder and said, "It's getting late, big brother. I won't bother you anymore."
"etc."
Chen Mu called out to him, and Chen Yaoxing raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile.
"Brother, do you have anything else to say?"
"Our family has been busy lately. Once everything is settled, I'll help you find a solution. Yaoxing, don't be impulsive. Don't forget the lesson from your friend's birthday party last time."
"Only if you're well can you have plenty of time to do many things. Otherwise, if you get into trouble and get punished, you really won't be able to do anything."
Youngsters of this age are most likely to act on impulse and go astray. Chen Mu held his shoulders and gave him a serious warning.
Hearing these words, Shen Yaoxing felt a little warm in his heart.
"Don't worry, big brother. I won't cause any trouble. I've really learned my lesson from what happened last time."
"Well, that's good. Big brother believes in you."
The room was filled with the curl of cigarette smoke, exuding the faint fragrance of agarwood.
On the bed, Su Huanyan slowly opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar environment in front of her. She was instantly frightened and her eyes widened, with deep uneasiness in her eyes.
Where is this?
She was clearly in her own room before she fell asleep, so how come when she woke up, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar environment.
What is going on?
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. After seeing off Chen Yaoxing, Chen Mu pushed the door open and came in with medicine.
Hearing the noise, Su Huanyan panicked and quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
She had no idea what was going on, where she was, or what she would face next, so she might as well pretend to be asleep and wait until she figured out the situation.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Su Huanyan became more nervous. She clutched the corners of the pillow tightly with both hands, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her breathing became disordered.
Chen Mu walked to the bed and stopped, glancing at the girl calmly, then reached out and touched her forehead.
My palms were icy cold, obviously I had cooled down.
His eyes fell on the face of the girl pretending to sleep, and he considered whether to expose her.
Sensing that tangible gaze, Su Huanyan felt as if a thorn was on her back, and became even more nervous and uneasy.
She couldn't pretend anymore, so she slowly opened her eyes, and her pupils suddenly constricted.
"Shi, Shizi???"
Su Huanyan was dumbfounded and looked at him in shock.
Her eyes shifted stiffly from his face to his legs.
Wait, is she dreaming?
How could she see the prince?
Moreover, he actually stood in front of her. Wasn’t his leg...broken?
It's fake, it must be fake, she must not have woken up yet, yes, it must be like this.
Su Huanyan closed her eyes, and at this moment, a tingling pain slowly came from her back.
She opened her eyes again and looked at the handsome man in front of her in disbelief.
Her back was hurting, she was not dreaming, this was real!!!
"hiss……"
Realizing that she was not dreaming, Su Huanyan wanted to get up from the bed, but she pulled the wound unexpectedly. She gasped in pain and almost couldn't hold back her tears.
"Don't move, the wound hasn't healed yet."
A low, light voice came to her ears, and he reached out and pressed her shoulders, pushing her back onto the bed.
Su Huanyan turned her head and looked at him, her eyes puzzled. "Sir, where is this? Why am I here?"
"This is the Duke's Mansion."
Chen Mu avoided the main point and only answered her first question.
Su Huanyan: “…”
So how did she get here?
Knowing that he probably didn't want to answer this question, Su Huanyan was very tactful and didn't continue to ask.
"oh."
She replied softly, her eyes fixed on his legs.
Is the prince's leg healed?
She didn't know when he got better, and there was not even a rumor outside. She asked about his news every day, but got nothing.
Thinking of this, Su Huanyan couldn't help but feel frustrated and powerless.
"You stay here to recuperate for the next few days, and someone will bring you food."
"Gu…"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Huanyan heard her stomach rumbling.
Her face flushed instantly, and she buried her face in the pillow in embarrassment, squeezing out two words in a muffled voice.
"Thanks……"
“No need.”
Shen Mu replied lightly, put the medicine bottle in his hand on the table beside him, and stood up to leave.
Until the footsteps faded away, Su Huanyan raised her head from the pillow and looked towards the door, but unfortunately she was blocked by the screen and could not see anything.
She bit her lip, feeling a little uneasy.
