The next day, it rained heavily outside.
Inside the house, Liu Yushu felt dizzy. She slowly opened her eyes, and the sight before her made her let out a low scream in fright.
The couch was in a complete mess.
She panicked. What on earth had happened last night? She had fainted last night and had no memory of it at all.
Thinking about it, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears streamed down her face. She sobbed painfully.
She felt too ashamed to live anymore. Through her tear - blurred eyes, she caught sight of a gold hairpin on the bedside. She grabbed it tightly, pointed it at her neck, closed her eyes, and stabbed fiercely. The sharp hairpin touched her fair skin. She felt a warm sensation on her hand. Opening her eyes, she saw Wu Qing's cold and handsome face.
Wu Qing easily snatched the hairpin from her hand. There was a slight look of emotion in his eyes. "Nothing happened last night. I won't let those people lay a finger on you."
Liu Yushu was stunned. She clearly remembered that the medicine forced on her by Concubine He was...
"Then... what about you?" she asked him小心翼翼. How could he take advantage of her? If it were true, he would be worse than a beast!
If she could, she would like to tear him to pieces right away!
His breathing grew heavy. He turned his head away. "Calm down first. Don't do things that make people have wild thoughts, or I'll change my mind!"
The implication was that he hadn't touched her.
Liu Yushu was completely dazed. Her mind was in a complete mess. She couldn't think about anything. Blushing, she shouted at him, "Get out."
Wu Qing turned around and left.
Liu Yushu sat there on the couch in a daze. She tried to recall what had happened last night in her chaotic mind, but she couldn't remember anything. She only remembered that she had bumped into a pillar, and then the drug had taken effect, and she had actively hugged Wu Qing. She touched her forehead, and the wound was still there with a plaster on it.
Who had treated her wound? Was it... Wu Qing? That villain who lusted after her actually helped her. This was unbelievable to Liu Yushu.
After all, when she had called for him yesterday when she was in trouble, he hadn't shown up. She had thought he had abandoned her.
Liu Yushu was scared. He had helped her again. This time, how would he ask her to repay him? What terrible demands would he make?
Liu Yushu went to the front hall and saw Wu Qing leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, looking thoughtful.
"Really nothing happened last night?" she asked in a low voice, her cheeks burning with shame.
She didn't quite believe his words. If nothing had really happened, why was the couch in such a mess...
A hint of ambiguous emotion flashed in Wu Qing's eyes. His cold face showed a slight look of emotion. He turned his head and answered in a low voice, "Yes, nothing happened." Then he disappeared in a flash.
Liu Yushu was left standing there in a daze.
What made Liu Yushu even more frightened was whether everyone in the mansion knew about this. Concubine He had made such a big scene yesterday. Everyone in the mansion must have thought she had been defiled!
Right now, she had to check the situation in the mansion first.
When she went out, she didn't see Caiqin. The maids in the yard greeted her one by one, showing no sign of anything strange.
This surprised her. She stopped a maid. "Where's Caiqin?"
The maid shook her head. "This servant doesn't know. I haven't seen Sister Caiqin since yesterday afternoon."
Liu Yushu was filled with doubts. She didn't stay long in the Shanhui Hall. She hurried back with an umbrella in her hand.
When she got back to her own room, Zuitao looked at her anxiously. "Miss, where did you go last night? You didn't come back all night. Did someone make things difficult for you?" Zuitao had been extremely worried all night.
"I'm fine. I was too tired yesterday, so I stayed in grandmother's room." Liu Yushu pretended to be calm.
"Oh." Zuitao let out a sigh of relief and murmured in a low voice, "It's really strange. From yesterday afternoon until now, Concubine He's yard has been so quiet. None of her maids have come out. When did she become so well - behaved?"
Hearing this, Liu Yushu felt a sense of unease in her heart. This was really abnormal.
The light rain drizzled all day. In the evening, Liu Daqiang returned to the mansion in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the yard, a maid rushed over and knelt in front of him, crying. "Master, Concubine He is... she's gone too far. Please save our Miss Sun and Miss Yu."
Liu Daqiang's face changed. He sternly questioned, "What on earth is going on?"
The maid cried, "Concubine He had an affair while you were out of the mansion. Our Miss discovered it, and in a fit of rage, she wanted to kill our Miss and even injured Miss Yu."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the yard was stunned.
