Chapter 30 Chapter 30 I don’t have a sister.
Mu Xi suddenly felt as if someone was fiddling with her fingers. She felt confused and opened her eyes.
From her angle, she could just see Han Yinfeng's long, slender eyelashes drooping slightly, his eyes clear, and his head lowered in concentration.
Mu Xi thought about what happened last night and realized that she should call him by his real name Feng Han now.
The other person seemed to have noticed something, looked up, and their eyes suddenly met.
"What are you doing?" Mu Xi asked.
Feng Han blinked twice quickly and said, "Change the dressing for my wife." He asked, "Did I hurt you?"
Mu Xi shook her head, took her hand back and looked at it carefully in front of her eyes.
After just one night, the horrific scene when I was injured last night seemed like it had happened a long time ago.
This body's self-healing ability is really strong.
Mu Xi looked at the palm of her hand, then at the back of her hand.
Last night, the dagger pierced her palm, but now there was a short, thick scar on the palm and the back of her hand, which had already scabbed over.
Mu Xi tried to clench her fists gently, the pulling sensation on her skin... still hurt, but not as much as last night.
Even though he had already experienced this body's incredible self-healing ability, Mu Xi still exclaimed again and again, "This is too magical."
"How do you feel, my lady?"
Mu Xi supported herself with her left hand and sat up. She tried to clench her fist again before answering him, "It doesn't hurt as much as last night. It still hurts a little, but I can bear it."
Feng Han nodded slightly, took Mu Xi's hand again, and placed it on his knee. He said, "It might be a little painful when the powder is sprinkled on it, and when it's bandaged... Madam, please bear with it."
Mu Xi hummed, watching him carefully busying himself for her.
Suddenly I heard him ask, "Why?"
"What?" Mu Xi thought she had missed something.
"Why did you save me again?"
After sprinkling the medicine powder, Feng Han observed her hand for a while before carefully wrapping it with gauze.
He said, "Last time you were injured it was because you were saving me. This time... knowing that the other party was skilled in martial arts and wanted to kill me, why did you still risk your life to save me?"
Mu Xi blinked and answered sincerely: "I'm drunk."
Feng Han was slightly startled, probably thinking she was joking, so he found a silly excuse and laughed softly.
But Mu Xi didn't lie. Now that he thought about it, it was the alcohol that made him rush over with such naive thoughts.
When she was sober, how could she dare to fight someone with real kung fu head-on?
As for the origin of the question, why did she save him? Because Feng Han was indeed the most special person to Mu Xi besides her adoptive mother.
At least that's the case for now.
Apart from the fact that his arranged marriage to her was not realized, they had been together for such a long time after all.
Mu Xi said, "You don't have to feel bad. You saw it too. Even such a serious injury would almost heal overnight."
"The dagger was poisonous. It may not be a good thing that it heals so quickly." Feng Han said.
Mu Xi thought about it. Although she didn’t know the reason, she felt that it made sense.
"What should we do then?"
"At the earliest tonight, at the latest tomorrow morning, we'll be there and find a doctor to examine you."
Mu Xi remembered some information she had gotten before going to bed. They were now rushing to a villa in the neighboring city. Was there a reliable doctor there?
But she didn't ask, Fenghan must have his reasons for making such arrangements.
Think about it again, if I die like this, that's fate, and there's no point in struggling.
"My lady, don't you blame me?"
"You didn't stab me, why should I blame you?"
"That's not what I meant." Feng Han said, "I meant that I killed Yin Xiang."
Mu Xi was stunned for a moment. He was really... so persistent about this question. He had already asked it last night.
"I don't know." Mu Xi frowned slightly. "I saw her for the first time yesterday. I might have some impression of her when I was a child, but... I can't say we have a deep relationship now. But I can't say whether what you did was right or wrong. From what she said, your mother killed her family. In this case, only one of you can survive. Obviously, this is not something I can decide."
Mu Xi didn't want to discuss with Feng Han who would be happier to survive. Both were human lives. She didn't have the ability or qualifications to be a judge.
She heard a lot.
Feng Han was silent for a while, and Mu Xi was still staring at her hands.
Suddenly I heard him speak again and looked over.
"If I had been the one to stab Yin Xiang with the dagger last night, would you have sacrificed yourself to save her?"
Mu Xi pondered the question for a moment, then asked instead, "If you discovered that I had blocked it for her, and you were going to stab me, would you stop in time?"
Feng Han fell silent, but his eyes brightened instantly.
His throat moved slightly, and he said firmly: "Of course, I won't let myself hurt you."
…
I have to say, Mu Xi felt quite relieved to hear such an answer.
Although it was alcohol that caused the problem, at least it wasn't in vain that I blocked it.
Of course she knew that the matter was over, and Fenghan could say whatever he said. But even if it was a lie, it sounded pretty good. There was no chance to verify it anyway. Hearing the nice answer and believing it would make her feel happier.
And as a result, Fenghan's mood seemed to have changed.
The relationship between Mu Xi and Yin Xiang is complicated. The complexity lies in that no matter how close they were ten years ago, they are indeed very strangers ten years later.
Even though Feng Han only said that he would not hurt her, Yin Xiang still did not stop when he saw that the person who would be hurt was Mu Xi.
She was the one who remembered everything. That proved something.
"Last night... Yin Xiang said a lot. Madam, please remember not to take everything seriously. She knows she has no way out and hates me so much, so naturally she wants to do her best to sow discord between me and you."
Mu Xi thought about it and originally thought that she didn’t remember much, but now thinking about it, it seemed that she remembered quite a lot.
"She said you are...what...Pavilion Master?"
"Yeah." Feng Han pursed his lips, "Bei Quge."
Mu Xi suddenly understood and was puzzled for a moment, "I think I've heard this somewhere..."
"In Luan County." Feng Han reminded her, "Madam Qin mentioned it to you when they were chatting."
After being reminded of this, Mu Xi finally remembered.
"Yes."
Jianghu forces, new leader, man.
At the time, Qin Xing'er talked about it with great relish, and she seemed to have expressed some opinions...
Mu Xi glanced at Feng Han and instinctively felt guilty.
She didn't say anything she shouldn't have said, right?
What else did Qin Xing'er say at that time?
But in this way, all the things are connected. No wonder those people who died at that time were related to her and Beiqu Pavilion.
I think Feng Han saved her in the name of Beiquge.
But did this new leader really kill his sister and mother to take the position?
Mu Xi subconsciously looked at Feng Han again, but Feng Han kept staring at her with a burning gaze.
"Ask whatever you want, ma'am."
Mu Xi thought about it and decided that since the other person was so sincere, there was no need for him to be polite.
This man had always been easy to talk to in front of her, even though she could tell from the beginning that he was arrogant, but he had always kept it hidden. But for a long time, he had never done anything to hurt her. He was easy to talk to and get along with, and he was even very attentive when taking care of her...
With such a Han Yinfeng and such a Feng Han, Mu Xi couldn't imagine how he would kill his own relatives.
"Did you really kill your mother and sister to become the new Pavilion Master?"
Feng Han didn't expect that this was the first question she asked him. He thought she would ask the question that Yin Xiang didn't have the chance to finish last night, and ask him whether he was a liar.
"I don't have a sister."
He didn't give a direct answer, but Mu Xi thought she understood.
She nodded, "I understand. Rumors spread. That's how things work in the martial arts world."
She added: "As a man, it's not easy to achieve great things in this era. It's normal to be maliciously slandered."
Feng Han raised his eyebrows, feeling a mixture of sour and sweet in his heart.
He suddenly wanted to show Mu Xi more about himself, to see what expression she would show and how she would view him.
If Mu Xi became hostile to him and feared him, he also wanted to know whether he would be willing to kill her.
"I don't have a sister, but I did kill my mother." Feng Han stared into Mu Xi's eyes and said, "Rumors in the martial arts world should not be believed, but they are not entirely false."
Mu Xi frowned and asked him, "Why?"
Feng Han was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Mu Xi's reaction is always beyond one's expectations.
I expected her to show disgust, or at worst, fear and trepidation, wanting to flee. But she wanted to know the reason, to ask... why.
Does Mu Xi think that even something as heinous as matricide can be forgiven as long as there is a legitimate reason?
Or—
She thought that he was not the kind of person who would do such a heinous thing, and if he did so, he must have a legitimate reason.
Each one made Fenghan's blood boil.
His throat moved slightly, and he took a deep breath before speaking: "Because if I want to live like a human being, she must die. Only one of us can survive."
Mu Xi felt that it would be impolite to ask any more in-depth questions at this time, and the other party might not be willing to talk about it, so she simply didn't ask.
Having said that, she could guess the general plot herself.
Under this background, it is difficult for a man to even be the head of the family, let alone the leader of a faction.
Mu Xi didn't know whether what he said about not having a sister was true or not. He thought that no matter whether he had one or not, any woman who could stand on her own feet would be a stumbling block in his career and must be removed before he could succeed.
She has never judged anything others do, and she still doesn't.
Feng Han kept staring at her, so Mu Xi naturally noticed the bruise under his eye.
She asked, "How long have I slept?"
Feng Han gave an accurate answer.
Mu Xi asked, "You haven't closed your eyes for such a long time, have you?"
"I'm worried about my wife being poisoned, so I can't close my eyes."
"I'm fine. I'm fine."
Mu Xi thought that Feng Han might be afraid that she would never wake up from her sleep, so he repeatedly observed her injuries.
"You should get some sleep." Mu Xi was about to give up the place where she was lying originally. She looked down and caught a glimpse of the clothes on her body.
Clean and tidy, not the same as before falling asleep last night.
Mu Xi was stunned for a moment. Feng Han had been watching her every move and of course noticed the subtle change in her mood.
He lowered his head and pursed his lips.
She didn't ask and he didn't say.
Mu Xi thought Feng Han was asleep, but when she wanted to wake him up to eat something, he woke up as soon as she called him. His eyes were not at all drowsy, so she suspected that he was not asleep at all.
After a simple meal, the carriage continued on its way, shaking. Mu Xi asked Feng Han about his injury.
Feng Han was stunned for a moment and said that he was not injured.
"But you vomited blood yesterday."
Feng Han was silent for a moment, then replied, "That's an old illness."
Mu Xi didn't expect this answer. After a moment of silence, she said, "Then you must recuperate as soon as possible."
As soon as he became a leader, he was faced with her old problems, as well as a bunch of troubles of his own, and even an old illness.
It seems that it is not an illusion, it is indeed not easy for him to live.
Mu Xi slept again, and after changing the medicine, they entered Yucheng.
Yucheng is adjacent to Licheng. As Fenghan said, it took less than two days to travel from Licheng to Yucheng, traveling day and night.
After they entered the city, the carriage went around the side without stopping until dawn.
Mu Xi yawned as she watched the sky turn pale. Perhaps because she didn't sleep well, she felt a little upset.
Seeing Mu Xi looking at him, Feng Han asked her, "Are you hungry, ma'am? Do you want to eat something?"
Mu Xi shook her head and asked him, "How long will it take?"
“Almost.”
After hearing what he said, Mu Xi stopped asking.
Along the way, Mu Xi felt that Feng Han was more anxious than herself.
She knew that there might be some toxins left in her body, but to be honest, the wound on her hand was almost healed, and two days had passed without her feeling any other obvious discomfort symptoms, so it was highly likely that she was fine.
Mu Xi didn't know what Feng Han was so anxious about. According to her estimation, the scab on her wound might fall off in a week at the latest.
Although it's a bit exaggerated, Mu Xi's feelings are the most real.
In the very quiet situation, she could almost feel and even hear the sound of her skin healing and imagine the scene. The feeling was very strange.
The carriage drove into the Bitian Villa at dawn. Unlike the situation after entering the city where there was almost no one around, many people could be seen standing at the entrance of the villa.
When Mu Xi got off the carriage, she saw a middle-aged woman walking towards her with a smile on her face. "My lady and my gentleman are here. You must be tired from the journey."
She introduced herself as the manager here, her surname was Qian, and told Mu Xi that she could tell her anything in the future, saying that no one knew more about the relevant matters in the villa than her.
Mu Xi replied awkwardly. Feng Han stood beside her and asked, "Where's Doctor Bai?"
"She's asleep. Someone just went to call her."
Manager Qian had a smile on his face. In Mu Xi's opinion, the scale was just right. Any more would have been flattery.
She turned to Mu Xi with a smile and said, "Since this is my first time meeting you, I'd like to let you meet everyone in this village first."
Mu Xi glanced at Feng Han, wondering how he told the people in the villa about their relationship. Now it sounded like it was a fait accompli.
Maybe it’s just like every time they stay in an inn, it’s inconvenient for men to come forward, so it’s more natural for women to do so.
For such a large villa, whether it is rented or bought, there must be a woman who can handle things.
Feng Han naturally has his own intentions in doing things, Mu Xi thought, so just go along with it.
She said, "All matters concerning the harem are ultimately decided by my husband. From now on, you will obey whatever my husband says."
"Yes, of course." Manager Qian said with a smile, "My wife and my husband are one family. No matter who speaks, we dare not disobey."
Feng Han asked Manager Qian to follow Mingyu and Yingzhang's instructions and asked her to find someone to lead the way to see Doctor Bai.
Manager Qian responded, but still subconsciously looked at Mu Xi's expression.
Perhaps it was because Fenghan was too imposing and his tone was not polite at all. She suspected that he was deliberately trying to piss off his wife. No matter what happened or when, women had the final say. It was rare to see a man being so domineering.
Mu Xi saw what she was thinking at a glance and nodded at her.
Manager Qian then quickly pointed out someone and asked him to lead the way for them.
To be honest, Mu Xi had never had such a real experience before.
Luan County is a small place with a small population, so it is not easy to raise a girl or a boy. Although there will be differences in treatment, the feeling will not be so strong.
After all, even though the Qin family was Mu Xi's neighbor at the time, they didn't live under the same roof with her. She had never seen what other people's homes looked like behind closed doors.
Yucheng seems to be richer than Licheng. Just by walking a few steps inside the villa, you can see a lot of information.
Manager Qian looked at Mu Xi's expression, but Mu Xi looked at Feng Han.
It's not easy for him to learn martial arts and become a master in this environment. It would be quite inspiring if it weren't just a story of fighting and killing.
"Doctor Bai lives in this yard." The little girl who led them spoke in a low voice, also looking at Mu Xi.
Mu Xi nodded and told her that she could go and rest.
"Won't you give us a lecture later, Madam?"
Mu Xixin said that she didn't understand the work of a leadership team, so she asked them to take a rest and start working after they woke up and had a good sleep.
The little girl grinned, and Mu Xi said, "Wait until we have rested, my dear..."
She paused, thinking that Feng Han probably had no interest or time to take care of so many people, so she changed her words temporarily, "My husband will find someone to talk to you, go ahead."
As soon as the little girl left, someone came out and Feng Han's face changed immediately.
Mu Xi looked over and saw that the man seemed to be about the same age as Manager Qian, but he looked kinder and not as shrewd as Manager Qian. He seemed to have a good temperament.
"Sir, this must be Madam Mu, I am glad to see her at last."
Mu Xi glanced at Feng Han, who nodded and said, "Her name is Bai Yi, Doctor Bai."
"Doctor Bai." Mu Xi said politely. Bai Yi saw the gauze on her hand and frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Feng Han said, "Let's go in and talk."
Mu Xi couldn't help but look at him again.
Ever since she got hurt and Feng Han changed back to his original name, he always spoke in an unquestionable manner, which was almost oppressive.
Although he still often started sentences with "wife", Mu Xi felt like he was in a hurry and couldn't stop. He seemed to be always tense.
Anyway, everyone has been killed in front of her, so there is no need to maintain the previous weak image. This feeling.
Bai Yi was walking in front. Feng Han noticed Mu Xi's gaze, looked towards her, and his expression softened instantly.
He said softly, "My lady must be tired, but let Doctor Bai take her pulse first, okay? That way I'll feel relieved."
Of course Mu Xi wouldn't say it was bad. Ultimately, this matter was related to her. The four of them had been traveling and working hard for the past few days, and it was all her fault.
Bai Yi first checked Mu Xi's injuries. Her originally kind expression changed slightly. Unlike the others, she looked at Feng Han.
"Sir, are you saying that this injury was caused more than two days ago?"
Feng Han nodded. "A dagger pierced my palm. The blade was poisonous, but I don't know what the poison was."
He took something out of his sleeve and put it on the table.
Mu Xi opened her eyes wide and saw it clearly. This was indeed the dagger that hurt her. She didn't even know Feng Han had been carrying it with him.
Bai Yi nodded slightly, then looked at Mu Xi and asked her, "How do you feel, my lady?"
Mu Xi spoke honestly, "At first it hurt like hell, my whole body ached. Then I was extremely sleepy, so I took a nap and felt much better when I woke up."
She clenched her fist and said, "It only hurts a little bit now." She said, "I've been like this since I was a child. Injuries heal quickly."
Bai Yi glanced at Feng Han and smiled at Mu Xi, "Let me take your pulse."
Mu Xi nodded and asked her which hand.
"Right hand first."
Mu Xi cooperated very well and stared at Bai Yi's expression just like Feng Han.
Similarly, they all did not miss the surprise that flashed across Bai Yi's face. Although it was obvious that she wanted to hide it, she couldn't help but look at Mu Xi, and that look revealed too many complicated emotions.
Mu Xi was originally very confident that she was not poisoned, but when Bai Yi looked at her like that, she became nervous.
Is he really poisoned?
But Yin Xiang died on the spot. She had lived well for several days and didn't feel that she was poisoned. Instead, she felt that she had more and more hope as she lived.
Bai Yi didn't say anything, his eyes moving around slowly, but it made Mu Xi more and more nervous.
She couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem? Is there really some poison left in my body? Will I die?"
Bai Yi smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, my lady. Switch to your left hand."
Mu Xi obediently stretched out her left hand, not missing the look Bai Yi gave Feng Han.
She said, "Doctor Bai, if I have any questions, just tell me directly. I don't want to die without knowing it. Even if I am doomed, I want to know how much time I have left."
Mu Xi realized that everyone in the villa might only listen to her and not Feng Han's orders, but this doctor was the only one who would not listen to her.
She is definitely Fenghan's person.
Feng Han sighed softly, "Madam, what nonsense are you talking about? Doctor Bai is a skilled doctor. Even if there is some residual poison, she will not let anything happen to you."
Bai Yi's fingers were still on Mu Xi's wrist.
Mu Xi clearly felt that after hearing Feng Han's words, her whole body froze, as if she couldn't believe it. Bai Yi looked at Feng Han again.
