Chapter 97 Why do you humiliate me like this? !
Yu Qinghuan took Sang Ru out of the door and hurried downstairs, not even bothering to check if her hair was messy. She asked Sang Ru:
"What's going on?"
Sang Ru lowered her voice and said, "I just saw it clearly. The second young lady was going after the second master at first, but somehow she threw herself on the young master and broke his mask. When the second young lady saw the young master, she was so scared that she started crying and yelled that she saw a ghost. That's how she attracted everyone else."
Yu Qinghuan frowned. How could the white jade mask that Yu Zhilan Huai'an was wearing today withstand a fall?
She whispered, "Go to the pavilion and get my veil and hat, quickly."
Sang Ru didn't dare to delay and hurried out of the attic through the door on the other side.
Yu Qinghuan pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.
The people in the attic had long lost interest in watching the show, and people outside also came running over after hearing the news. People in the capital had all heard about the young master of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion being injured and disfigured, but they had never seen how badly he was disfigured, so they all wanted to find out.
At this time, in order to prevent people outside from crowding in, the door of the attic had been closed. As soon as Yu Qinghuan squeezed into the crowd, she saw the mask broken into two pieces on the ground. Yu Zhilan was timid and did not dare to look at Mu Huaian. She looked frightened.
Without the mask covering it, half of Mu Huaian's scar was exposed to everyone.
The more handsome the intact half of his face was, the more the scar on the other side of his face seemed distorted. People around him stared at him and whispered to each other.
"How could this happen? I remember it was fine a few years ago."
"No wonder he hasn't returned to Beijing in the past few years. What a pity..."
"Whose girl is that? Why is she so rude?"
"So what if you have a good family background? Your life is ruined."
Mu Huaian stood frozen in place, his hair lifted by the mask falling on the hideous scar on his left cheek. The other half of his face was completely drained of blood, as if frozen by frost. His fingertips unconsciously curled into his palms, his joints turning white from excessive force, and even the veins in his wrists were tense. He tried his best to restrain himself and suppress the strange feeling in his heart.
But I still feel a little breathless.
Xie Zhiwen next to him was a little at a loss. Seeing his friend like this, he felt annoyed, but the one who caused the trouble was a member of the Yu family after all. Any discomfort would affect his wife's reputation.
The sounds coming from the attic were like needles piercing the eardrums. Seeing Mu Huaian like this, Yu Qinghuan's heart ached and she squeezed in through the crowd.
Xie Zhiwen saw her come back and was about to explain when he saw Yu Qinghuan reach out and grab Yu Zhilan who was trying to hide. In front of everyone, he slapped her hard and scolded her:
"What a disgrace!"
After the slap, everyone around was stunned and asked which family the person who hit the other person was from. They found out that the one who had caused trouble just now was the second daughter of the Yu family, and the one who was hitting the other person now was the eldest daughter of the Yu family, now the wife of Ningyuan Hou.
The attention of these nosy people immediately shifted from Mu Huaian to the family affairs of the Yu family. They even talked about how Yu Qinghuan seduced Ning Yuanhou with her looks in Jingyuan. They looked at Yu Qinghuan with contempt.
Xie Zhiwen was dumbfounded, staring at Yu Qinghuan in a daze. He had never seen Yu Qinghuan lose his temper like this, and even hit someone. For a moment, he even forgot to step forward to pull the person away.
On the balcony, Xiao Jinghe looked at the scene downstairs and found it interesting. He thought it was a docile kitten, but he didn't expect it to scratch people.
This Yu family is really becoming more and more to his liking.
Everyone thought that Yu Qinghuan beat someone because Yu Zhilan behaved shamefully, but only Xie Zhili who was standing by knew that it was just for Mu Huaian.
Xie Zhili's teeth were almost broken, and a nameless anger was running through his heart. If the person being hit was him, Xie Zhili, would she protect him like she is now?
His intuition told him that Yu Qinghuan would definitely not do that, and would even stay as far away from him as possible.
As a result, he felt even worse at the moment and just wanted to replace Mu Huaian. He was a big man, but his face was hurt.
I'm still using this self-torture tactic for more than half a year. Aren't you tired of it?
At this time, Sang Ru, who had just come back from outside to get the veil hat, happened to see Yu Zhilan covering her red and swollen face. She was shocked. Even when the second girl robbed her things in the boudoir before, the lady had never been so angry, let alone hitting anyone.
Mu Huaian also looked at Yu Qinghuan, his thin lips moved, wanting to speak, but he didn't know what to say, but he couldn't take his eyes off her.
He was sensitive and knew that Yu Qinghuan was doing this for him. He was moved, but he also felt sorry for others who looked at Yu Qinghuan in that way.
Yu Zhilan covered her red and swollen face, "Sister, what did I do wrong? Why are you humiliating me like this?!"
Seeing people around her pointing fingers at her, she couldn't bear it any longer. She sobbed towards Yu Qinghuan, "I'll go back and let my parents decide for me!"
Yu Qinghuan looked at her coldly, "Just go ahead and explain clearly why you showed up in Jingyuan today."
Yu Zhilan's eyes were evasive. She had planned with her mother today to run away secretly. She wanted to follow the example of Yu Qinghuan and find a good husband for herself in the capital to get rid of the marriage with the Han family.
She immediately spotted Xie Zhili, whom she had met on the road when she left Xie's farm that day. She didn't expect that this man was from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.
Although he was born out of wedlock, a marquis's mansion was equivalent to half the wealth of the capital, not to mention that he was an official.
But she had no outstanding piano skills, could not compose poetry or paint, and had no idea how to make a name for herself. She could only take advantage of the relationship between the Xie and Yu families and get close to them.
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhiwen wanted to chase her away after just a few words. In desperation, she could only fall to Xie Zhili's side. Unexpectedly, this man dodged very quickly, causing her to fall on the table. In a panic, she accidentally pulled off another person's mask.
Upon seeing him, he was even more handsome than the two brothers of the Xie family. He immediately had other thoughts. Since he could sit at the same table with the two brothers of the Xie family, this person must be of extraordinary status!
But when she looked closely, she found that the other side of the man's face looked like a ghost, which scared her a lot!
Yu Zhilan gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it, I won't bother with you about what happened today!"
Having said that, she turned around and squeezed out of the crowd and ran away, not even caring about the purpose of today. She was afraid that Yu Qinghuan would keep pestering her endlessly, and she was also afraid that the man would take off his mask and come to settle the score with her.
At this time, the owner of Jingyuan had already sent someone to disperse the onlookers. Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, these people also tactfully dispersed.
But the people outside still wanted to come in and find out what was going on.
Yu Qinghuan watched Yu Zhilan fleeing away and solemnly instructed Sang Ru beside him, "Find someone to go to the Yu Mansion later and explain what happened today, especially the incident where she offended Duke Dingguo's only son. Don't leave out a single word."
Sang Ru understood, "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely see to it!"
As she spoke, she handed the veiled hat in her hand to Yu Qinghuan, and signaled with her eyes to Yu Qinghuan to give the things to the Marquis and not to go there by herself. There were so many people here, and it would be bad if some rumors got out.
Knowing that the veil hat was for Mu Huaian, Xie Zhiwen next to him just reached out to take it, but saw Yu Qinghuan walking straight past him and towards Mu Huaian. He was stunned.
Why......
