High-class Spring Joy

Chu Jingyu's gaze was fixed on Qing Yuan, his heart filled with a mixture of worry and anger.

He led his servants and searched the entire city for Qingyuan, from the west to the east, and from the south to the north. They searched the whole city of Bianjing countless times, but they still couldn't find Qingyuan's whereabouts.

Finally, one of the servants mentioned that they might have gotten lost, and Chu Jingyu suddenly remembered that if Hongdou had really been kidnapped, she would definitely be taken to a secluded, deserted place.

Chu Jingyu's first thought was not Qingyun Mountain, but after searching all around Bianjing City, he finally arrived at Qingyun Mountain.

He was extremely anxious and couldn't wait for the servants behind him to hold up umbrellas. He put on the raincoat that he usually disliked the most and searched all night in the wind and rain, getting soaked to the bone.

After finally finding Qingyuan, the scene that greeted them was her affectionately and caringly draping an outer robe over another man.

This man was none other than his third half-brother, Chu Jingxian.

Chu Jingyu's anger surged almost instantly, but seeing Qingyuan's pale face, he forced himself to hold back. He looked at Qingyuan, who was now beside Chu Jingxian, and said, "A-Yuan, come here."

After speaking, he seemed to realize that his words had been too authoritative, and deliberately softened his voice:

"Ah Yuan, come to me, I'm taking you home."

Qingyuan looked coldly at Chu Jingyu in front of her. After last night's experience, she felt extremely ironic listening to his so-called affectionate and gentle words.

She couldn't even say that Chu Jingyu had given up her life, because he firmly believed that she was deliberately trying to compete with Jiang Qingge for his affections.

Qingyuan didn't want to say anything. Her heart was as calm as a stagnant pool, and she had no expectations of him anymore.

However, she is still a maid in Chu Jingyu's courtyard, and she also has the ambiguous status of a child bride in name only, so she cannot have too much contact with the Third Young Master.

It doesn't do the Third Young Master a good reputation; he's a good person.

Qingyuan draped her outer robe over Chu Jingxian's shoulders and was about to turn and leave the cave when Chu Jingyu, for some unknown reason, rushed forward and grabbed her wrist tightly.

"Come with me."

Qingyuan frowned and struggled, but he gripped her even tighter. When she looked at Chu Jingyu, she saw that his eyes were burning with anger.

Is he angry?

What's there for him to be angry about?

He wasn't the one whose life hung by a thread, but he was also the one who told everyone to stop making trouble.

"Fifth Young Master, please let go..." Qingyuan said, struggling to free her hands.

Chu Jingyu disliked her struggling and disobedient behavior the most, and was burning with jealousy. He tried to drag her away with great force, but his wrist was gripped by someone with even greater force!

Qingyuan struggled in vain, and Chu Jingyu's grip made her arm and back ache. Just when she thought there was no way out, Chu Jingxian stood up, and judging from his position, he half-protected Qingyuan behind him and grabbed Chu Jingyu's wrist.

Chu Jingyu was already jealous, and seeing Chu Jingxian subtly protecting Qingyuan made him even more displeased. He sneered, "What is brother doing? I'm just here to take my people back. Are you trying to stop me?"

For some reason, Qingyuan felt the air strangely stagnate for a moment.

Chu Jingxian's expression remained indifferent, but after a moment he parted his lips and said, "It's not that I'm trying to stop her, it's just that you seem to have hurt her, Fifth Brother."

Chu Jingyu snorted coldly: "Brother has good eyesight."

Praising a blind person for having good eyesight is utterly vulgar!

Qingyuan frowned immediately. She had known before that Chu Jingyu's words could be deadly, but she never expected him to be so cold and ruthless.

Chu Jingxian didn't seem to care at all; his voice was completely calm, making Chu Jingyu's all-out attack seem like a joke.

"Qingyuan was surrounded by wolves last night and rolled down the mountain to escape, sustaining many injuries. She needs to rest and recuperate."

Chu Jingxian said.

After being reminded, Chu Jingyu immediately remembered, released Qingyuan's wrist, and said coldly, "My people, I will naturally take good care of them, so there is no need for you to worry, elder brother."

After saying that, Chu Jingyu turned and left. With so many servants watching, Qingyuan could only follow him down the mountain.

After Chu Jingyu and his group had gone far away, Chen Sha and Zhe Ji arrived at the cave.

"Why are you stopping me? What's wrong with me killing Chu Jingyu with my sword? I can't quell my hatred without killing him!"

Shen Sha and Zhe Ji had obviously overheard Chu Jingyu and Chu Jingxian's conversation. Shen Sha was so angry that he wanted to kill Chu Jingyu with a sword, but Zhe Ji stopped him.

Zheji was somewhat speechless: "Young Master said long ago that now is not a good time to 'disturb' the Marquis's residence, so of course we should not easily alert them."

Chen Sha was temporarily persuaded and stopped mentioning it, only asking with concern, "Young Master, last night there was a strong wind and heavy rain, it was so cold, and this cave was extremely damp. How are you feeling?"

As she spoke, Chen Sha noticed that Chu Jingxian didn't answer. His attention wasn't on her at all; he was just standing there, his eyes looking in the direction Qing Yuan had left.

Chen Sha raised her hand and waved it in front of Chu Jingxian: "Young Master?"

Broken Halberd: ...

Even if he shakes himself to death, the young master still won't see him, you idiot!

Zheji added, "Do your scars itch, young master? I brought some medicine with me."

As he spoke, his hand, which was holding up a small bottle of ointment, was pressed down.

Chu Jingxian couldn't hear anything else, only saying, "The scars on your body..."

-

Qingyuan hadn't taken two steps when she suddenly felt light all over, and looked up to find that Chu Jingyu had swept her into his arms.

Her first instinct was to struggle; she didn't want to get entangled with him any longer. All she could say was, "Young master, I can walk by myself. Please put me down!"

Without Chu Jingxian, Chu Jingyu's anger clearly subsided: "A Yuan, it's my fault, it was my negligence, so let me carry you back."

His strong yet gentle demeanor, coupled with his handsome features and affectionate eyes, was enough to make most of the girls in Bianjing fall for him and be moved.

Qingyuan was one of those girls before.

But now.

Qingyuan: ...His eyes actually look affectionate even when he looks at a dog.

She was too lazy to talk, so she let him hug her if he wanted, and simply pretended to be dead.

After finally arriving at the Zhenguo Marquis's residence, Chu Jingyu carried her all the way back to his bed and immediately ordered someone to find the family physician to treat her injuries.

When the physician arrived, he eagerly pulled him over to examine her injury, and while the physician spoke, he took out a pen and ink to write it down. His earnest and concerned demeanor made him seem very nervous.

Even the royal physician exclaimed, "The Fifth Young Master truly values ​​Miss Qingyuan."

Let alone others, if it were Qingyuan a year ago, and she had seen Chu Jingyu do this, she would probably have believed that Chu Jingyu loved her.

Looking back now, Qingyuan felt no emotion whatsoever, as if she were watching a play that had nothing to do with her.

Even the medicine, it's said, was personally brewed by Chu Jingyu in the kitchen.

When he returned, he found that Qingyuan had vanished from the room!
