His personal guards quickly came downstairs to help him, but he was gone. Lu Jiaxue closed his eyes and slowly exhaled.
He opened his eyes and said in a gloomy and cold tone, "Call Madam Lu over to me. I have something to ask her."
He discovered the clue today and he must find it out! Luo Yining, you have nowhere to escape!
Yi Ning heard Lu Jiaxue's words and leaned against the back of the carriage while Zhenzhu showed her the wounds. Unlike Lu Jiaxue, she had no martial arts experience, so even with the pomegranate tree's protection from her jump from the second floor, she still had a lot of injuries. Her elbows and knees were bruised, and her ankles were immobile and starting to swell and ache.
Zhenzhu was still terrified: "Did you say something to offend the governor? I saw him suddenly get angry and pull you. I was so scared that I immediately went to find Shen Lian..."
It was really too stimulating just now. Only now did she relax while leaning against the pillow. Yi Ning shook her head and asked, "Grandma and the others don't know, right?"
"The old lady and her people went back ahead, so they probably didn't know about it. But it was a big commotion, so someone in Xiangyun Society must have seen it."
There was no way to care about others now. Let them be. After all, they hadn't seen what was happening inside the house. Yi Ning was thinking about Lu Jiaxue's words... What did Lu Jiaxue mean? Who did he mean by implicating others? Was he going to attack his third brother? Or his father, Wei Ling?
As for his ex-wife, whom he had murdered and whose existence no one had ever known, why did he do this? What on earth was he going to do by forcing her to go back?
"How can I describe your injury..." Pearl was a little embarrassed. "I'm afraid it would be difficult for my son-in-law not to notice it."
"Tell everyone today not to say anything." Luo Yining didn't know how to explain this to anyone else. Was her adoptive father trying to abuse her, so she was forced to jump? There was no need to spread the news; it would be better for her to just hang herself from the beam to avoid implicating the Wei family.
Lu Jiaxue would come to the Duke of Yingguo's mansion sooner or later. She had to go back and find her third brother and leave! Lu Jiaxue couldn't possibly come to the Luo family.
The sedan chair soon arrived at the Duke of Yingguo's mansion. After Luo Shenyuan got on the carriage, he pinched her face and said, "You left without even saying goodbye to your father-in-law. I'm afraid he will be unhappy with you."
Only then did he see Yi Ning's ankle, bandaged with pearls. With a slight frown, he lifted her foot, glanced at her, and asked, "We went out to see a play... Why are you still injured?"
Yining said, "I saw the pomegranates on the branches were big and red, so I wanted to pick them myself. As a result, I accidentally fell from the tree... I won't go to see my father. He will definitely blame me if he sees me. Besides, I can't walk anymore." She lifted her tightly wrapped foot to signal.
Luo Shenyuan laughed and looked at her as if she were a child: "I remember you were like this when you were little, stealing loquats from my yard with your fifth sister."
He ruffled her hair with his big hands and said, "You've only grown older, but you haven't learned anything." Then he instructed the driver, "...Go to the clinic."
Yi Ning said, "I won't go to the clinic. My injuries are not serious."
"The bandage is so ugly." Luo Shenyuan said.
Yining looked at him and said "oh".
Lin Hairu had the maid leave some food for them, warming it in the steamer. There was a plate of steamed pork with rice flour, a bowl of pigeon stewed with yams, beef tenderloin with chili peppers, and shredded cucumber in vinegar. Yining, however, had no appetite at all, and Lu Jiaxue was beginning to doubt her. What was he planning? If it was something to do with Luo Shenyuan, he would definitely know... How should she tell him?
The room was lit with candles. Usually, during meals, Yi Ning would talk, and Luo Shenyuan would listen. A habit formed in childhood, he rarely spoke at the table. Today, she didn't say a word either, and only the sound of the bowls swishing was heard.
"If you encounter any trouble, you can tell me." Luo Shenyuan suddenly said while eating.
"Now I am your husband, I will help you solve any problems."
She ate a lot of chili peppers that she didn't like, but she always avoided the steamed pork with rice flour that she liked. She never used her chopsticks to pick up any dish other than chili peppers because that dish was closest to her.
"Nothing." Yi Ning said with a smile, "I'm just a little tired from watching the show."
Luo Shenyuan's smile suddenly died down, and where she couldn't see, his hands slowly clenched.
She still didn't believe him, or perhaps she had never considered him her husband. This made him feel very uncomfortable, and a gloomy mood slowly accumulated.
By the time they went to bed that night, the candles outside had gone out, leaving only moonlight filtering through the window paper. Yining looked at the bed curtains and the string hangings at the corners. She thought for a long time before turning sideways and raising her head. "Third brother, are you... familiar with Lu Jiaxue?"
Luo Shenyuan slept on the outside, with a foot of space between them. He opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yi Ning continued, "It's nothing, it's just that he's a very scary person...you have to be on guard against him." She didn't want to implicate Luo Shenyuan. If she really did, she might go to Lu Jiaxue to beg for mercy.
"I know him very well." Luo Shenyuan closed his eyes again. "Don't think too much about it. You don't need to worry about these things."
Just as Yi Ning lay down again, Luo Shenyuan stood up and went to the bathroom. After a while, he came back, uncovered the quilt and lay down beside her. The room was completely quiet.
But no one can really calm down.
It's
