Chapter 545 Doubts
Lu Yunjue didn't know when he woke up. Because the toxins in his body had not been cleared, his face was still pale and his brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was thinking about something.
Miss Du looked at him with a smile, as if waiting for an answer.
The two of them put their heads close to each other, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.
The moment she heard the footsteps coming from upstairs, Miss Du sat up straight and huddled back in her bed, pretending to be asleep.
Lu Yunjue had just come back to his senses from his thoughts and didn't pay attention to the people and things around him. He just said with embarrassment: "I have a chronic illness. I'm afraid I can't take responsibility for Miss Du, otherwise I will harm you."
His voice was soft and weak, but without any hesitation.
Miss Du unconsciously pinched two strands of hair by her ears and began to braid her hair: "We are not particular about trivial matters. I was just teasing you just now."
Lu Yunjue lay back down, lost in thought.
At this time, Hu Xiner and others also came to the bedside. Seeing that Yun Jue had woken up, they were very happy.
Even Doctor He breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Yunjue had dragged on for too long last night, and even he couldn't guarantee whether the toxins in Lu Yunjue's body would cause him any sequelae.
He sat down and took Lu Yunjue's pulse. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Xiner also proposed to recruit a few guards for the Lu family.
Miss Du readily took on the task: "It's just a few guards. Our Du family can still afford it!"
She immediately called all the disciples outside to discuss who should go.
"This poison is not serious. It can be completely eliminated by taking a few more bowls of medicine." Doctor He said with a smile.
Lu Yunjue thanked the doctor, then looked at the mask on his brother's face without saying a word, with a look of melancholy, sadness, and regret... flashing across his eyes.
He unconsciously reached out and touched the bandage on his face.
Since there was no intense fighting, the bandage on his face was still intact.
Mu Qing sighed slightly. Originally, the issue of appearance was only his concern, but due to some strange combination of circumstances, his younger brother Yun Jue was also troubled.
He whispered, "My bandages have been removed. Your sister-in-law likes it very much. Do you want to remove the bandages today?"
Lu Yunjue wanted to agree outright, but perhaps the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak. In the end, he just said, "It's all right. I'll listen to my brother and sister-in-law. But when we dismantle it... can we not have outsiders present?"
By this time, Miss Du had already solved the problem of selecting people. Upon hearing this, she drove all the disciples out again: "What are you doing?"
The others looked at her speechlessly.
Miss Du didn't feel embarrassed and asked excitedly, "I'm just lying here and feeling bored. If you want to do something interesting, take me with you."
She knew that Hu Xiner was the only one with the most say among this group of people, so she deliberately winked at Hu Xiner.
Although her image in everyone's mind was no longer so unpleasant after what happened last night, the matter of removing the bandages and revealing her true appearance was a concern for the two Lu brothers, so they could only do it in a very secret place.
As an outsider who had a conflict with their family a few days ago, Miss Du did not seem suitable to participate in this occasion.
There was a long silence. Just as everyone was thinking about how to refuse, Doctor He spoke up: "It's nothing serious. I just want to ask this patient to remove the bandage on his face."
Miss Du was stunned: "Remove the bandage? I think we should not do that."
"Why?" Hu Xiner asked in surprise.
Miss Du finished braiding a thin pigtail, pulled out a few more strands of hair, and then said nonchalantly, "I don't mean to slander you, but if you remove the bandages on someone's face that's injured and maimed, it will look even worse."
Mu Qing had just seen Miss Du harassing his brother and had a bad impression of her. Upon hearing this, he said, "This is our Lu family's business and seems to have nothing to do with Miss Du."
Miss Du has always been arrogant and no one has ever dared to confront her in front of her. Originally, she didn't really want to see Lu Yunjue. After all, his true appearance was not to her liking, so she could only endure it reluctantly.
But Mu Qing didn't let her see it, but she insisted on seeing it.
Doctor He, who knew Master Du well, patiently explained, "If you don't remove the bandages on your face, the flesh and blood inside will be compressed for a long time, which will lead to very serious consequences."
"Oh? What are the consequences?" Miss Du leaned her head closer again.
Mu Qing coughed lightly. "Excuse me, Doctor, when can we remove the bandages? Do we need to move the Yun Jue?"
Doctor He only just realized this and was immediately in a dilemma. "Although removing the bandages is a private matter, their physical conditions don't allow them to be moved. Otherwise... should Miss Du stay here?"
In the end, they decided to cover Miss Du's eyes with a piece of cloth and then remove the bandage from Lu Yunjue.
Because of his experience from the first time, Dr. He acted faster this time and removed the bandage completely in no time.
He asked the little medicine boy to bring some warm water to clean the remaining blood stains on Lu Yunjue's face, and then he said with satisfaction: "It's done!"
Miss Du slowly pulled off the strip of cloth: "Have you put on your masks?"
But when she opened her eyes, she stood there speechless.
I saw the man in front of me leaning weakly against the head of the bed. It seemed that he had just been washed with warm water, so even his eyelashes were wet.
Over the years, she believed she had seen the most handsome men in the world, but she never expected to lose her mind because of the person in front of her.
But isn’t the most outrageous thing…
"Are you twins?" she asked in surprise.
Lu Yunjue nodded: "Indeed."
After he finished speaking, he asked somewhat helplessly, "Brother and sister-in-law, can you get me another mask?"
"What do you want a mask for?" Hu Xin'er was stunned... Are masks a popular item this year?
Lu Yunjue pointed at his face.
Hu Xiner smiled: "You've been bandaged for so many days, so you can't adapt to your face now? Don't worry, if I had your good looks, I would have to walk sideways when I go out."
Miss Du also subconsciously lamented, "Such a beautiful face has to be hidden by a mask, what a pity!"
Lu Yunjue couldn't help but look at her silently.
Somehow, Miss Du, who was usually very thick-skinned, felt her heart beat faster when she was glared at by the weak young man in the bed opposite her.
In order to shake off this unprecedented feeling, she quickly said, "Wait, I have something else to say... When I took off your mask before, you clearly didn't look like this. How did you become like this in less than half a month?"
This is indeed a big doubt.
