Xie Xuan sensed the movement and looked up.
He clearly hadn't expected Yun Chuwei to wrap his hair around her finger.
When he moved, his hair was pulled, and it hurt a little.
His sleepy eyes looked at Yun Chuwei, somewhat bewildered.
Yun Chuwei was surprised that he would suddenly look up, and her fingers, which were twirling a strand of hair, stopped.
Then, she calmly untangled his hair and said gently, "I'm sorry."
Xie Xuan didn't speak. He paused for a moment, then picked up a strand of his hair and placed it back in Yun Chuwei's hand.
Yun Chuwei couldn't help but laugh.
She had no idea that Xie Xuan was this kind of person.
She was twirling Xie Xuan's hair around her fingers when she heard Guiyan knocking on the door: "Young Miss, are you awake? I'm coming in!"
Before Yun Chuwei could speak, she saw Xie Xuan pull the strand of hair back from her hand, and in a flash, he left through the window.
Seeing the window closed, Yun Chuwei was speechless.
It turned out that this person didn't come to see her openly, but instead secretly kept watch over her.
At this moment, Guiyan had already entered.
Seeing that Yun Chuwei was already awake, she said, "Miss, why didn't you wake me up when you woke up?"
Yun Chuwei didn't reply; she couldn't very well say it was because she saw Xie Xuan.
She asked, "Who brought me back?"
“It was His Highness Prince Xuan. Perhaps he was worried about the impact on Miss’s reputation, so he didn’t stay and went straight back. He said he would come to see you again when you wake up! Young Master Huo and Young Master Jiang also said to let them know when you wake up!” Guiyan said.
Guiyan paused for a moment, then continued, "Miss, please wash up and have your meal first. I will send someone to inform His Highness Prince Xuan and the others."
Yun Chuwei pursed her lips: "Just tell Huo Qingjue, the other two don't need to!"
Xie Xuan didn't need to say anything, because he already knew.
Jiang Wanqiu didn't need to say anything, because Huo Qingjue would tell him.
Although Guiyan didn't understand why Yun Chuwei gave such an order, she would obey Yun Chuwei's words unconditionally.
-
After Yun Chuwei finished her meal, she met Huo Qingjue and Jiang Wanqiu.
After taking Yun Chuwei's pulse, Jiang Wanqiu said, "There's nothing seriously wrong. However, Miss Yun, your tendency to vomit blood and faint at the drop of a hat is making me extremely anxious! Could you please take it easy and avoid doing anything that might cause you excitement?"
If anything happens to her, he'll lose his head!
Yun Chuwei said slowly, "I can't keep going!"
The backlash is something she can't avoid just by being careful.
Even if she stops consulting fortune tellers, physiognomists, and celestial omens from now on, she still can't avoid it!
Jiang Wanqiu: ...
Yun Chuwei casually added, "As long as I don't die, you don't really need to care too much about the rest!"
Jiang Wanqiu: ...
He always felt that Miss Yun in front of him exuded an aura of indifference towards everything.
Her every move told him that living was good, and dying was fine too!
He no longer knew what to say.
Yun Chuwei turned to Huo Qingjue: "So? What have you learned about Yun Lianhua's death?"
"Yun Lianhua's body was protected too well by the Crown Prince's men; we couldn't get close at all. However, we found some interesting things!"
Huo Qingjue paused, then continued, "Yun Qianming has escaped from the Yun family's estate. He's disguised himself as a poor scholar and has recently been trying to seduce Cui Yuetuan, the second daughter of the Cui family. It seems the two have agreed on a time to elope!"
Yun Chu raised an eyebrow and slowly asked, "And then?"
She felt that Huo Qingjue would never have told her about this if it weren't related to Yun Lianhua's death.
However, she couldn't think of any connection between the two things for the time being.
Huo Qingjue said, "This second daughter of the Cui family, Cui Yuetuan, looks seven or eight parts like Yun Lianhua!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei couldn't help but recall her past life.
In her previous life, the story of Cui Yuetuan, the second daughter of the Cui family, eloping with a man also caused quite a stir.
At that time, the Cui family sent many people to search for the second daughter of the Cui family, but they did not find her.
Later, the Cui family was ashamed to mention the girl, and the matter was eventually dropped.
If Yun Qianming was the one who eloped with Cui Yuetuan in the previous life, then Cui Yuetuan must have been killed. They must have used Cui Yuetuan's corpse to switch Yun Lianhua, completing the final piece of the puzzle of Yun Lianhua's faked death.
After thinking for a moment, Yun Chuwei asked, "Is Yun Qianming keeping an eye on things?"
"We've assigned someone to keep an eye on it, so don't worry."
Yun Chuwei nodded slightly, then asked with a smile, "When did they agree to elope?"
She wanted to see this grand elopement spectacle.
“It will be tonight!” Huo Qingjue said.
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Then let's go see a good show tonight."
-
That evening, Yun Chuwei put on her night clothes and planned to go see a play.
She had just stepped out when she ran into Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan was somewhat surprised to see Yun Chuwei dressed like this.
He asked, "Where have you been?"
Yun Chuwei didn't hide anything and said directly, "I'm going to see a play!"
Xie Xuan almost instinctively said, "I'll go too!"
He didn't know where Yun Chuwei was going, or what show she was watching; he just wanted to follow her.
Yun Chu smiled slightly: "Then let's go together!"
She didn't mind bringing Xie Xuan along.
The two left the capital and soon arrived in the suburbs.
Finally, they stopped outside an abandoned temple.
Xie Xuan reached out and grabbed Yun Chuwei's wrist, raising his hand in a defensive stance, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.
He could sense that someone was lurking around him.
Yun Chu smiled and said to Xie Xuan, "Don't be nervous, we're on the same side!"
She had just finished speaking when Huo Qingjue appeared.
When Xie Xuan saw that it was Huo Qingjue, his face darkened and he felt somewhat down.
Why does this person always appear around Weiwei?
Instead, he grabbed Yun Chuwei's sleeve and stood aside with his head down.
Yun Chuwei asked Huo Qingjue, "How is the situation?"
Huo Qingjue said, "They eloped here and it was already evening, so they rested and cooked inside. Yun Qianming poisoned the food! Should we stop them?"
Yun Chuwei waved her hand: "Preemptive intervention won't wake up a mind that's ready to elope for love."
Huo Qingjue wholeheartedly agreed.
These noble ladies all thought that it was a beautiful story for talented men and beautiful women to elope for love.
Little did they know, these were all lies fabricated by a poor scholar.
If they had stopped them, the second young lady of the Cui family might not have been grateful to them at all; instead, she might have hated them.
At this moment, Jiang Wanqiu appeared and whispered, "We can't just stand by and watch her die, can we?"
Jiang Wanqiu stepped inside and continued, "I must save her!"
Huo Qingjue reacted quickly and pulled Jiang Wanqiu back.
He looked at Jiang Wanqiu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Jiang Wanqiu, something's wrong with you! You're not usually this impatient. Do you like the second young lady of the Cui family?"
