Chapter 252 Thoughts
"It's okay, I have thick skin and will be healed soon!" Zheng Xun said with a smile.
Cui Ruxu didn't say anything else, but carefully peeled off the thick white cloth, revealing the hideous wound underneath.
Yuan Ziyu looked at the wound and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The wound was obviously a knife wound, and it was not light. What kind of danger did his cousin encounter?
Is it possible that the capital city is not very peaceful recently?
Yuan Ziyu was just thinking about this when Cui Ruxu, outside the Qiongjiang Pavilion, had already reapplied medicine to Zheng Xun and bandaged the wound. "Brother Zheng, don't let this wound get wet or get banged up again, or it won't heal easily!"
"Okay, I understand!" Zheng Xun straightened his robe and glanced at Cui Ruxu. "Miss Cui, you're living in the general's mansion. Is everything okay?"
"Very good!" Cui Ruxu smiled and said, "My aunt and cousin take good care of us!"
"Then..." Zheng Xun asked casually, "Is your cousin nice to you?"
"Yes, of course!" Cui Ruxu nodded.
"That's good!" Zheng Xun said with a smile, "Miss Cui, starting tomorrow, you don't have to come anymore!"
After hearing this, Cui Ruxu's face turned slightly pale. She looked at Zheng Xun with slightly red eyes and quickly lowered her head.
Seeing this, Zheng Xun seemed a little anxious and said, "Ms. Cui, please don't misunderstand me. I don't mean any other things. I just... I just don't want to ruin your reputation. After all, you'll get married in the future. If I ruin your reputation, I will die!"
Upon hearing this, Cui Ruxu raised her head and looked at Zheng Xu. Tears finally fell from her eyes, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Could it be... Could it be that after all these days, Master Zheng still doesn't understand my feelings?"
If the room had not been unusually quiet at this moment, neither Zheng Xun nor Yuan Ziyu would have been able to hear Cui Ruxu's voice.
After Cui Ruxu finished speaking, she seemed to realize what she had said. Her face suddenly turned red. She stood up and was about to run out of the house, but Zheng Xu grabbed her arm!
"Hiss!" The stretching seemed to have stretched Zheng Xun's wound, and Zheng Xun couldn't help but cry out in pain.
When Cui Ruxu heard Zheng Xun's cry of pain, she didn't care about being shy and quickly turned back to check Zheng Xun's wound: "Are you hurt again? Let me take a look!"
"It's okay!" Zheng Xun quickly held Cui Ruxu's hand and said, "It's really okay, I just stretched it a little bit."
"You know you are injured, why do you still pull me!" Cui Ruxu said angrily.
"If I hadn't held you back, you would have left!" Zheng Xun sighed and said softly, "Miss Cui, I understand your feelings, but... I'm a commoner, so what can I do to ask for your hand in marriage? I've wasted your time!"
After hearing what Zheng Xun said, Cui Ruxu looked at him and said, "Master Zheng, you...is this the only reason?"
"nature!"
"Then what Master Zheng did to me...to me..." Cui Ruxu felt a little embarrassed to continue and lowered her head, not daring to look at Zheng Xun again.
"Alas..." Zheng Xun said softly, "If I didn't have Miss Cui in my heart, I would have just pretended not to see her and walked away that day!"
Zheng Xun's words made Cui Ruxu's eyes light up: "Master Zheng, you mean... you mean..."
Before she could finish her next words, Cui Ruxu's face turned even redder, almost like a sunset glow!
"Zheng's feelings for the young lady are just as yours for me!" Zheng Xun said softly, "It's just that my status is not worthy of the young lady. I'm afraid I'll let her down!"
"No!" Cui Ruxu seemed to have made up her mind. She looked up at Zheng Xun with sparkling eyes and said, "As long as...as long as your feelings are the same as mine, I will definitely ask for mother's consent. In this life, I have no other wishes but to grow old with you!"
Cui Ruxu said these words with almost all her courage. Her heart was beating like a drum, and she was secretly happy but also nervous!
She was secretly happy that your wishes were the same as hers, but she was worried that her behavior was against etiquette.
"Xu'er!" Zheng Xun's voice made Cui Ruxu's heart tremble, and she lowered her head shyly.
Zheng Xun sighed and said, "Xu'er, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. After all, I'm a commoner. I'm afraid your father and mother won't agree!"
Cui Ruxu bit her lip and said softly but firmly, "I know, but as long as Master Zheng doesn't despise me, I will follow you through thick and thin!"
"Xu'er, why are you doing this?" Zheng Xun sighed again, looking at Cui Ruxu who still lowered her head. An inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, as if she was struggling. Such a look made Yuan Ziyu a little confused.
Cui Ruxu said, "Xu'er is happy with it!"
"I don't know how many lifetimes I must have accumulated blessings to be valued so highly by this girl!" Zheng Xun said.
Cui Ruxu looked up at Zheng Xun. Although she didn't say anything, there was a gentle smile in her eyes.
Yuan Ziyu could clearly see in Qiongjiang Pavilion that her eldest cousin seemed to be completely trapped. She didn't know whether her aunt and uncle would agree to this marriage!
As for this Zheng Xun, we need to investigate him thoroughly. We can’t let my cousin get married in the dark in the future!
The two talked for a while before Cui Ruxu left the yard with the lunch box.
Seeing this, Yuan Ziyu hurriedly followed, but he did not see Zheng Xun leaning against the head of the bed, squinting his eyes and looking thoughtful.
Nor did he see Zheng Xun take out a piece of clothing from somewhere nearby.
The hand that was holding the corner of the clothes sometimes clenched tightly, and sometimes relaxed, back and forth, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
Yuan Ziyu followed Cui Ruxu and saw her and Xin'er return the food box, then went straight back to the mansion.
As soon as she returned to Wuyou Pavilion, Qingying and Qingzhi came to greet her: "Second Miss, you must be very tired!"
Yuan Ziyu changed into casual clothes, took the tea from Qingying, and asked, "Nothing going on today, right?"
"No!" Qingying replied, "Only my second cousin came over. Qingzhi and I said you were resting, so she left."
"Hmm!" Yuan Ziyou nodded, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then instructed Qingzhi: "Go to the guest house and quietly invite the second cousin over. Just don't disturb the eldest cousin!"
"yes!"
Not long after, Cui Ruxun came over in a hurry: "Second cousin, did you find out anything?"
Cui Ruxun was extremely anxious. Although she knew that there was only one day left and it would be impossible to find out the truth so quickly, she still couldn't help but ask.
"Second cousin, don't worry!" When only Yuan Ziyu and Cui Ruxun were left in the room, Yuan Ziyu said softly, "I've found out who that man is!"
"Who is it?"
"Zheng Xun!"
