Yun Que'er nearly let out a scream. Fortunately, with her last bit of rationality, she knew she couldn't expose herself. Otherwise, her whole family would be disgraced. So she managed to suppress the scream.
Yun Que'er turned around shakily and found that the shadow behind her was none other than Ji Chengxuan.
"Why is it you again!" Yun Que'er hissed in a low voice. "Can you stop sneaking up on people like this? You scared me to death!"
Ji Chengxuan blinked innocently. "I got up to go to the toilet. I just saw you here and came over to check. I thought you heard my footsteps."
Yun Que'er wished she could punch Ji Chengxuan to death. She had been concentrating on what was going on inside. How could she have heard someone approaching from behind?
"You did it on purpose!" Yun Que'er said firmly.
Ji Chengxuan just smiled and said nothing. He didn't admit it. Anyway, when it came to being a slacker, Ji Chengxuan was an expert.
"Why are you here again? You're still young. Why do you keep spying on the newly - wedded couple?" Ji Chengxuan teased.
Fortunately, it was dark enough so that Ji Chengxuan didn't see Yun Que'er's blushing face. Otherwise, Yun Que'er would have dragged Ji Chengxuan to hell with her.
"It's none of your business. I'm also going to the toilet. Can't I just stroll around here on the way?"
"Oh~ So that's it."
Ji Chengxuan nodded on the surface, but his eyes clearly said: I'll believe you if I'm stupid.
Yun Que'er slapped her forehead. She also thought her excuse was really stupid. The toilet was on the other side. No matter how she strolled, she couldn't have ended up under the wall of the newly - wedded couple's room. This was like saying there was no silver buried here. It was obvious that she was eavesdropping.
Yun Que'er didn't want to explain to Ji Chengxuan. She turned around and was about to leave when the system issued an alarm.
"Master, you can't leave!"
Enough is enough!
Yun Que'er was furious. Did she really have to listen? Was this something to be proud of?
And she had to listen in front of Ji Chengxuan. She had to keep an eye on what was going on inside while dealing with Ji Chengxuan. It would be better to just kill her with a knife!
At this time, the noise inside was getting louder and louder.
Wang Shujuan had changed from sobbing quietly at first to crying loudly. It seemed that Da Qiang was also angry and confused. His emotions were getting more and more intense.
"Tell me. Just say what you want! We're already married. What's this all about?"
"Don't... don't come closer..."
The two of them sounded very incompatible, and their voices were getting louder and louder, waking up Da Qiang's parents in the next room and other guests who had stayed overnight.
One light after another was turned on. Yun Que'er panicked. Without thinking about anything else, she turned around and ran.
Ji Chengxuan also quickened his pace and followed closely behind Yun Que'er.
"Why do you keep following me!" Yun Que'er roared in a low and urgent voice.
"Of course, for the same reason as you." Ji Chengxuan smiled calmly. "Running away."
Damn it!
Ji Chengxuan suddenly reached out and grabbed Yun Que'er, pulling her to the side wall of the main house. He pressed her head down and they squatted together.
"What are you doing?" Yun Que'er pushed Ji Chengxuan's hand away. "Why did you pull me?"
Ji Chengxuan covered Yun Que'er's mouth. "Are you stupid? The yard is empty. Do you think people will see us when they come out?"
Yun Que'er thought about it and realized that he was right. This was the only hiding place. But this didn't stop Yun Que'er from scolding Ji Chengxuan in her heart.
The noise in the west room was getting louder and louder, and more and more people were gathering outside. Although they were concerned about the newly - wedded couple and didn't dare to rush in, they were all craning their necks to look.
Da Qiang's father was busy explaining, saying that the two might have had a quarrel. He said not to worry, but actually he was trying to drive people away. Da Qiang's mother was standing at the door of the west room, wringing her hands anxiously, not knowing whether she should go in or not.
Da Qiang was obviously angry. His voice was getting louder and louder. He kept asking Wang Shujuan why, but Wang Shujuan just kept crying and didn't say a word.
The two of them were entangled. Yun Que'er and Ji Chengxuan were listening outside when suddenly there was a "puff" sound.
Yun Que'er was obviously stunned. This... didn't it sound very much like the sound of a knife stabbing into flesh?
Then, there was Da Qiang's scream from inside.
"Come... come quickly! Someone come quickly!"
The situation was finally out of control. A group of people rushed in. When they got inside, they were all stunned.
Wang Shujuan was holding a pair of scissors. The sharp end had been stabbed into her stomach. Blood was flowing onto the bed from the wound. She had already fainted, and Da Qiang still seemed a bit dazed.
He looked at the blood on his hands and kept exclaiming. "I really didn't mean to do anything! It was just a quarrel. Why did she..."
Yun Que'er was shocked when she heard this outside. What was going on? The bride had committed suicide for no reason.
Old Doctor Ji, who had stayed overnight, finally came in handy at this moment. Everyone dragged him out and rushed into the room. Ji Chengxuan, who was squatting beside Yun Que'er, also stood up. He calmly patted the white ash off his body and walked around the wall.
Yun Que'er looked at Ji Chengxuan's back in confusion. She also stood up. "Hey, you..."
"Shh." Ji Chengxuan turned around and put his index finger in front of his lips. He pretended to have just arrived and walked into the room.
Yun Que'er looked at Ji Chengxuan's back and frowned tightly.
Looking at Ji Chengxuan's calm appearance, it was as if he had known what was going to happen...
Yun Que'er was puzzled. She squeezed through the crowd and chased after him, but was caught by Yun Fujin.
"Where are you going? Don't look. You'll have nightmares."
Yun Fujin grabbed Yun Que'er and pulled her behind him. "Be obedient and go back."
"I... I'm just curious! I'll come out in a minute!"
"Xiao Que'er! You..."
Before Yun Fujin could finish calling her name, Yun Que'er broke away from his sight and squeezed to the door of the west room.
By this time, the door was almost blocked. Yun Que'er finally found a place to stand. She craned her neck with difficulty to look inside and found that Da Qiang had been helped to sit on a chair on the ground. He was still in a daze.
Old Doctor Ji was examining Wang Shujuan beside the kang. He shook his head as he examined. Ji Chengxuan was helping Old Doctor Ji hand things and was also busy driving people away.
"This won't do." Old Doctor Ji simply stopped the bleeding for Wang Shujuan. He sighed and shook his head. "I don't know how deep the scissors are inserted. We'd better send her to the hospital quickly."
Outside, Da Qiang's mother hesitated. "But... we just got her married into our family today. How can we explain this if it gets out?"
Old Doctor Ji waved his hand. "At this time, who cares about explanations? To be honest with you, she's on the verge of death. Hurry up."
