Chapter 255
"good."
The moonlight was bright tonight, and they didn't even carry lanterns. They walked straight through the garden along the path and arrived at the hanging flower gate.
Le'an went up to the person to get close and attract attention, and Yunxi took advantage of this opportunity to slip away. Le'an quickly sent someone to follow her and took her to the garden in the front yard.
From a distance, a figure could be seen standing beside the artificial hill.
Le'an lowered her voice and said, "Auntie, you can just go directly there. I'll wait for you here."
"Thanks a lot."
Yunxi hurriedly walked towards the figure next to the artificial hill.
After not seeing him for many days, Duan Huaichuan seemed to have changed no at all. He was still elegant and handsome, and his talent could not be hidden even in his simple clothes.
"Brother Huaichuan".
Upon hearing the voice, Duan Huaichuan was slightly taken aback, then looked up at her with a gentle smile on his face.
"Little sister Xi'er, it's been a long time." Her light brown eyes, bathed in moonlight, appeared even gentler.
"Why did you call me here?"
The two spoke at the same time.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them froze.
"Brother Huaichuan, didn't you send someone to find me, saying something had happened at home and that I should come over immediately?"
Duan Huaichuan chuckled: "I don't know anyone in this manor, and besides, you're in the backyard. I can only wait for you to come over. Why would I ask someone to bother you?"
The last time I saw Yunxi, she was dressed as a maid, which shows that Yunxi's situation was not good. There are many rules in this deep mansion, and he would not cause trouble for Yunxi because of his own selfish desires.
Upon hearing Duan Huaichuan's words, Yunxi frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Not Duan Huaichuan?
"Auntie?" A maidservant happened to pass by and recognized Yunxi. "Why are you in the front courtyard? The young master is not here, so we cannot hold a vegetarian feast!"
Yunxi's face turned pale, and her smile immediately froze on her face.
"Aunt?" Duan Huaichuan frowned. "Xi'er, is she calling you?"
"She... mistook me for someone else, didn't she?" Yunxi tugged at the corner of her lips.
The maid couldn't help but say, "Madam, you're the only concubine in the young master's harem. How could I possibly mistake you—mmm!"
Before she could finish speaking, the maid was suddenly grabbed by Le'an, who covered her mouth and dragged her away.
"Xi'er, what exactly is going on? What concubine?" Duan Huaichuan frowned.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Yunxi had no choice but to avoid his gaze: "...Brother Huaichuan, don't ask anymore. There's nothing wrong with being a concubine."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Duan Huaichuan rarely lost his composure.
He looked at Yunxi with heartache in his eyes.
They grew up together, and he knew this girl's personality best. How could she possibly submit to becoming a concubine?!
Seeing Yunxi keep her head down and remain silent, Duan Huaichuan grabbed her wrist and led her forward, saying, "Let's leave this place, leave this cannibalistic Marquis's mansion, leave Luoyang, and go home!"
Back in Qingshui Village, Yunxi was still the pampered girl who could fight back even when wronged, instead of just swallowing her anger!
Duan Huaichuan's grip was incredibly strong. Yunxi struggled a few times but couldn't break free, so she said, "Brother Huaichuan, please let me go!"
She can't leave!
If she leaves, she can only watch helplessly as Yun Wan recovers her health, secures her position as the young mistress of the Marquis's mansion, and lives a life of unparalleled privilege!
She doesn't want to!
But Duan Huaichuan remained silent, only pulling her along as they strode forward.
Just then, someone suddenly appeared in front of Duan Huaichuan, forcing him to stop.
Jing Yuan cupped his hands in greeting, and said with a forced smile, "Duan Jieyuan, this is the apple of our young master's eye. Where are you taking her?"
Duan Huaichuan knew Jing Yuan; the two had met a few times.
"Your young master?"
Yunxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she subconsciously turned her head to look.
Under the cool moonlight, a tall and slender figure stood, his narrow phoenix eyes reflecting the cold moonlight.
