Chapter 29 Jealousy "You only have Cui Miao in your eyes, whether I leave or not depends on you..."
As Yang Yan spoke, he suddenly pulled Chai Heng back. Before Chai Heng could react, he had already bent over and entered the fire scene.
The exit of the wooden house was so small. If Chai Heng went in again, she was afraid that all three of them would be stuck. She was forced to put her hopes on Yang Yan. Then she kept telling herself that although the Pingling Marquis's Mansion was in decline, Yang Yan was still a scion of an aristocratic family. He had practiced riding and shooting a lot in his youth, so he should have the strength to pull someone out of the fire.
But despite this, Chai Heng was still worried.
Soon, as the wooden house was about to collapse, she finally spotted two familiar figures. Cui Miao's upper body had been stabbed through by Lu San, and he was now completely bloodless from the excessive bleeding. Half of his body was leaning against Yang Yan. Yang Yan frowned, his face pale, but at first glance, he didn't seem to be seriously injured.
Chai Heng walked towards the two men and looked at Cui Miao worriedly: "Can you still hold on?"
Cui Miao shook his head and forced a smile. "Don't worry about me. I can handle it. Are you okay?"
Chai Heng nodded: "I'm fine, I'm doing fine." She looked up and noticed that there was dried blood on the corner of his lips. It must be the internal injury he suffered when the beam fell down just now.
"You are seriously injured. After we get out of the woods, I will accompany you to the clinic first." Chai Heng said out of concern for his friend and savior.
Cui Miao smiled and said, "Okay."
After confirming that Cui Miao was fine, Chai Heng felt relieved. But soon, she had another worry. She was always worried about Cui Miao being supported by Yang Yan. Based on her understanding of Yang Yan, he would not be so kind as to save Cui Miao in vain. Thinking of this, she prepared to help Cui Miao out of his arms.
The beam in the fire scene not only hit Cui Miao, but also hit Yang Yan.
Ever since leaving the fire scene, Yang Yan had been waiting, waiting for her eyes to fall on him, for her to look at him, but unfortunately, she never did.
He wasn't so foolish as to still think he was Chai Heng's number one priority. He had even convinced himself that after their separation, Chai Heng's first concern would most likely not be him. So he figured, even if she cared about him second, it was still a sign of concern. But who would have thought she would actually ignore him like that?
So this is what it feels like to be forgotten and ignored.
Yang Yan laughed at himself, feeling that fate would eventually turn things around, and that he would have to pay back every inch of what he owed her. But he would rather suffer physically than have her truly ignore him like she was now.
"Let go of Cui Miao."
"Let me help him."
Worried that he might go crazy here and affect Cui Miao's going to the clinic, Chai Heng softened her tone when speaking to Yang Yan, but this did not affect the fact that her eyes were full of vigilance towards him.
Deliberate neglect is hurtful.
Deliberate defense can also be hurtful.
Yang Yan was distracted for a moment and did not let go of Cui Miao's hand.
Seeing him like this, Chai Heng subconsciously thought that he was still stubborn and was going to cause trouble again, so she simply pushed him away. Yang Yan already had an injury on his back, and a piece of something that had just fallen from the house hit the back of his head. He was distracted at the time, and when she pushed him, his vision went black. He barely managed to hold on to a tree beside him to avoid falling down in dismay.
After stabilizing himself, the first thing Yang Yan did was to raise his red eyes and question her with a sneer:
"Are you so afraid that I'll hurt him?"
Cui Miao hurried to smooth things over, saying to Chai Heng, "Lord Yang was just hit on the head by a falling log inside. He won't hurt me, Miss Chai, you misunderstood."
He noticed the subtle atmosphere between the former couple. He liked Chai Heng, but he didn't want to take advantage of her and let her misunderstand anything, so he hurried to explain for Yang Yan.
Chai Heng really didn't know that Yang Yan was hit on the head by the beam. If he knew, he would have cared about him more or less because he didn't want him to die.
But at this moment, it was difficult to get off the tiger. Chai Heng had no doubt that even if she cared about him at this time, he would not accept it.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were injured too. Once we get out of here, Cui Miao and I will go to the clinic together. After that, I will also ask Zhou Jiu to find Xue Ruyue for you. With her by your side, you will get better faster."
Chai Heng deliberately avoided looking at Yang Yan's red eyes. She was actually a very soft-hearted person and couldn't bear to see anyone around her sad. She had complicated feelings towards Yang Yan, although she didn't know what he had to be sad about. She had obviously suffered much more than him in the past few years, and she wasn't like him, with red eyes and a look of tears at the slightest provocation.
But there was one thing she was sure of, no matter how wronged he felt when he was inexplicably pushed and slapped, she couldn't be so cheap as to be soft-hearted towards him.
She won't look back.
"I don't need you to ask Zhou Jiu to find Xue Ruyue. You care so much about your Commander Cui, afraid that something might happen to him or that he would die. Why don't you just take him away as soon as possible?" Yang Yan leaned against a tree and said sarcastically.
He didn't need her hypocritical apology, and he didn't want to see her worried look when she supported Cui Miao. Because it was an eyesore, his words were naturally harsh.
Chai Heng: “…”
He was facing her the entire time, and Chai Heng couldn't see how serious the wound on the back of Yang Yan's head was, or how much blood was flowing. If she really just left with Cui Miao, she would feel like a huge rock was weighing down her heart. But now that things had come to this, if she didn't leave, she would seem like a cheapskate.
After thinking it over, Chai Heng decided to take a look at his injury first: "Don't say those angry words, let me see the wound on the back of your head."
She took a few steps towards Yang Yan, but he was very stubborn. Before she came over, he mocked her: "What are you doing here? Don't tell me you still feel sorry for me?"
Chai Heng's steps suddenly stopped.
She suddenly felt annoyed with herself, knowing that this man had been a jerk more than once, so why bother listening to such words? After thinking for a moment, she turned around and supported Cui Miao: "Let's go to the clinic first."
After saying that, he turned his head and said to Yang Yan: "Since you don't need me to take you with me, I will let Zhou Jiu come up to find you later."
Yang Yan's dark eyes glanced at her calmly without a word, his many emotions condensed in his eyes. He simply watched her walk out after giving him instructions, supporting the blood-soaked Cui Miao.
*
It was already very late when Chai Heng and Cui Miao returned to the city. Many clinics in the city were closed. Cui Miao had lost too much blood and was almost half-fainted when he arrived in the city. Chai Heng knocked on the doors of more than a dozen clinics and finally found one that was willing to open an outpatient clinic to treat Cui Miao.
There were too many knife wounds on his body, and the doctor had to take off his clothes to treat him. It was inconvenient for Chai Heng to stay there, so after giving the doctor enough silver, he decided to leave first and visit him again early the next morning.
Only after everything was done did he return to the Marquis' Mansion.
"Where is Zhou Jiu?" The lights in the marquis's mansion were on, and apart from the maids and nannies, there was hardly a male to be seen.
Xiangqiao had heard earlier that Chai Heng had been captured by criminals, and she had cried until her eyes were swollen like two walnuts. "Butler Zhou and the son-in-law went to look for you, young lady. You're finally back. Are you hurt anywhere?"
Xiang Qiao checked Chai Heng from head to toe and confirmed that the blood on her body was not hers. Then she wiped away her tears and stopped crying.
Chai Heng touched Xiangqiao's head and said, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
Xiangqiao sniffed and nodded vigorously: "Where are Housekeeper Zhou and the son-in-law? Why didn't they come back with you, young lady?"
"Butler Zhou said you were taken away by bad guys. My son-in-law was afraid that something might happen to you, so as soon as he came out of the Ministry of War today, he went up the mountain to look for you."
Chai Heng didn't know how to answer Xiang Qiao about the whole story. Just as he was thinking about what to say, Zhou Jiu came back wiping his sweat with a group of servants holding lanterns. But when he looked up and saw Chai Heng, he was as surprised as if he had seen a ghost.
"Madam, why did you come back alone? Where is the master?"
"Just now, an official came to see your officer and said that he saw you helping someone down the mountain. I thought you were helping the master. Where is the master?"
As soon as he asked, Zhou Jiu came to his senses again. How could it be possible that Chai Heng was supporting Yang Yan? Their relationship was so bad now. She was most likely supporting Cui Miao back.
After asking these two questions, Zhou Jiu and Chai Heng were embarrassed.
Firstly, the people in that forest should have all retreated by now. It was too late, and it would be too tiring for them to go out together to look for Yang Yan. Not to mention others, even Zhou Jiu at this moment, seeing him sweating profusely, Chai Heng couldn't bear to let him run again.
Secondly, the burned cabin was at the innermost part of the woods, and even if Zhou Jiu sent people to look for it, they might not be able to find it.
"Forget it, I'll go again."
Chai Heng felt in his heart that he really owed Yang Yan in his previous life, so he was controlled by this man in both of his lives.
"That would be the best of course," Zhou Jiu said.
His excitement was palpable.
Chai Heng glared at him and ignored him. She rubbed her aching shoulders and walked out again.
Walking along the road in her memory, Chai Heng originally thought that even if Yang Yan walked slowly, she should meet him halfway, but she never did.
She had no choice but to walk and walk.
I walked all the way to the door of the burned-out cabin and discovered Yang Yan still beneath the tree. He sat there, his back against the tree, one leg stretched out, the other bent at the knee, his hand casually resting on it. His hair was damp with cold sweat, his dark eyebrows were also damp with sweat, and his face looked handsome yet frail.
Chai Heng used to like teasing him at this time, such as taking the opportunity to take advantage of him, or slapping his butt a few times. Seeing him angry and helpless would make her feel satisfied.
But only when you like someone will you develop a bad taste. When you don't like someone, and that person always seeks death, you really want someone to kill him.
"Why don't you leave?"
Hearing her voice, Yang Yan finally opened his eyes, which had been closed. His face was pale, and the corners of his eyes were unusually red.
"You only have eyes for Cui Miao. What does it have to do with you whether I leave or not?"
