Chapter 165
The carriage was small and very unassuming.
Jing Yuan quickly knocked on the carriage wall: "Your Highness, General Li is back!"
He had barely finished speaking when the car door was opened from the inside.
Shen Rang got off the carriage, walked a few steps to Li Ze, and gently took Yun Xi off his shoulder.
"This girl is lucky. If I had arrived any later, she would probably be on the Bridge of Helplessness by now!"
Shen Rang looked at the bruises on Yun Xi's neck and pursed his thin lips. "Thank you, General, for your willingness to lend a helping hand."
Shen Rang placed his fingers on Yun Xi's neck, feeling the clear pulse beneath them, and finally his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was at ease.
"This girl is badly injured. Take her back and take good care of her. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, Li Ze turned and left decisively.
Shen Rang picked Yunxi up and carried her back to the carriage: "Let's go back to the manor."
His voice was icy cold, like ice chilling to the bone.
Jing Yuan was startled and quickly drove the carriage towards the Marquis's residence.
The carriage was traveling at a fast pace, so some bumps were inevitable.
The jolt was similar to the one that had happened not long ago, and Yunxi suddenly opened her eyes.
Her eyes were filled with panic and wariness, but she relaxed abruptly when she saw Shen Rang.
"Zirong? Am I dreaming...?" Her voice was hoarse, unlike her usual clear and crisp voice.
Seeing her panic, Shen Rang pursed his lips, pulled her into his arms, and gently coaxed, "I'm late, I'm sorry you suffered."
Yunxi nestled in his arms and sobbed, "I thought I'd never see you again, I thought..."
She thought that her life was over just like that.
Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes, she found herself in Shen Rang's arms.
Her voice was hoarse, and as Chen Rang listened, he felt increasingly uneasy: "Be careful with your throat."
Yunxi then belatedly realized that her throat felt like it was on fire, and even taking a light breath brought on a burning sensation.
Although the crying stopped, the tears still wouldn't stop for a while. Shen Rang sighed and carefully wiped away her tears: "Don't worry, I'm here. You're safe now."
Yunxi nodded somewhat shyly.
She leaned against Shen Rang's chest, and her heart finally felt at ease.
Upon arriving at the Marquis's residence, the physician had already been waiting for a long time at Jibai Residence.
After a thorough examination, the doctor said, "It's alright, the injury isn't serious, but your throat will definitely be sore for the next few days. You should talk less and drink more warm water. I'll prescribe another dose of medicine for you to take twice a day. You should be almost fully recovered in three to five days. I'll come back then."
After hearing the doctor's words, Shen Rang finally felt relieved.
Shen Rang had someone escort the doctor out, and stayed with Yunxi until she fell asleep before leaving Jibai Residence and heading directly to Liuyun Garden.
At that time, Yunwan was also uneasy and couldn't even sit still, pacing around the hall.
I don't know if the people over there have managed to get things done.
Just as I was feeling uneasy, I looked up and saw Shen Rang coming over.
In the past, Yun Wan would have been overjoyed to see Shen Rang, but today, upon seeing him, her heart skipped a beat, and she forced an awkward smile: "Husband? Why did you come?"
Shen Rang glanced at her: "Yunxi was abducted from the manor by thieves. Does the young mistress have anything to say about this?"
His voice was extremely cold, and his phoenix eyes were dark and lifeless, like an abyss.
