Rules of the Unusual: My Yandere Husband Pretends to Be Innocent Online

Chapter 41 A Series of Lies

The bedroom was deathly silent.

Lying on the ground, Xia Xiaoqin carefully suppressed her breathing, her heart filled with anxiety.

"We can't do this... We need to find a way to escape from here by diverting our attention..."

Xia Xiaoqin thought of the heavy rain outside.

The sound of the torrential rain was completely inaudible inside the house.

If the window could be opened, perhaps the sound of the rain outside could disturb Old Master Lu, who was lying on the ground!

Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoqin picked up the broken porcelain shards from the ground and threw them forward.

Snapped!

Just as he was about to land, Old Master Lu immediately stuck out his tongue, which pierced through the porcelain shards like a forked tongue.

Xia Xiaoqin gritted her teeth and threw a few more pieces of broken porcelain into the distance.

Boom!dong dong!

The sticky, wet tongue pierced through the floor like a spear, leaving several holes.

Taking advantage of the lull in the noise, Xia Xiaoqin quickly moved her knees back.

Suddenly, the silver bells rang loudly.

The tongue suddenly changed direction and attacked Xia Xiaoqin's lumbar spine!

Xia Xiaoqin couldn't see what was going on at all; she simply grabbed the umbrella as planned and hurled it to the side.

"Open the window!"

Xia Xiaoqin's arms trembled as she prayed silently.

But her umbrella was still a few centimeters away from the window.

Snapped!

Just as the wet, scarlet tongue was about to pierce Xia Xiaoqin, a large, pale hand gently pushed open the window.

The sound of heavy rain outside instantly disrupted the peaceful bedroom.

The tongue that was waving in Old Master Lu's mouth changed direction again, shaking incessantly at the window, frantically striking the rainwater falling from the windowsill.

Hearing the howling wind and rain outside, Xia Xiaoqin gritted her teeth, quickly got up using both hands and feet, and crawled out of the bedroom.

Unable to turn back, she could only walk backwards away.

But after climbing a few steps, she remembered the purpose of her trip.

—Lu Yang

Lu Yang is deep inside the bedroom, his fate unknown.

If she just leaves like this, what kind of lover is she?

Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoqin clenched her fists and crawled back into the depths of the bedroom.

Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Covered by the noise, Xia Xiaoqin's palms were sweaty as she finally arrived at the wooden door where Lu Yang had been dragged away, following the general direction she remembered.

In the darkness, Xia Xiaoqin tentatively tried to push open the wooden door, but the sensation she felt made her freeze.

There were scratches on the wooden door, from low to high, as if someone had intentionally carved them on it.

Xia Xiaoqin tentatively reached up and found two more lines of small writing.

[The eldest son's height]

[Second Young Master's Height]

These two lines of text are located on either side of the scratches, as if someone is constantly comparing the heights of these two brothers.

"There really is such a person as the Second Young Master, but how come I've never seen him before..."

Xia Xiaoqin was puzzled, her finger hovering over the words "Second Young Master".

But at this moment, she finally understood why Master Lu's bedroom was so big.

Because this room was shared by the two brothers.

In the old-fashioned houses, brothers or sisters would sleep in the same room when they were young, separated by a partition in the middle, so that wet nurses could take care of them together. They would only be separated when they grew up.

And behind this wooden door is the second young master's room!

Xia Xiaoqin was extremely nervous, but she didn't have time to think too much; finding someone was the priority.

So she pushed open the wooden door and began to grope her way inside.

squeak-

As the wooden door slowly opened, a foul stench wafted out.

Xia Xiaoqin tentatively stood up, carefully feeling her way along the wall, but tripped over something on the floor in a second.

For some reason, the spacious room was filled with all sorts of messy clutter, scattered on the floor.

Xia Xiaoqin touched it with her hand and was immediately startled.

The debris lying on the ground had fluffy hair and dry, shriveled skin that looked as if it had been sucked dry and was sunken and stuck to the bones.

It's a corpse!

The second young master's bedroom was filled with corpses that had been drained of their life force!

Xia Xiaoqin withdrew her hand in fear.

"Lu Yang... Lu Yang... Can you hear me?"

Lowering her voice, the girl called out to her lover cautiously.

In the darkness, she heard the same soft murmur.

"Xiaoqin, save me...please save me...I can't move!"

Hearing the sound, Xia Xiaoqin hurriedly crawled over and groped around with her hands.

Lu Yang, whose entire body was covered in layers of strange slime, lay on the ground, looking like he was about to collapse.

"Xia Xiaoqin, help me! I'm stuck to the ground by the slime from that monster's tongue, and I can't move!"

Xia Xiaoqin nudged Lu Yang, then quickly withdrew her hand and wiped it on her clothes.

The slime immediately flowed onto the clothes, leaving behind foul-smelling, silvery threads.

"What is this? Why is it so sticky? Is this old man Lu a toad...?"

Xia Xiaoqin gritted her teeth and tried to pull Lu Yang up.

At this moment, Lu Yang, a grown man, was stuck to the floor by the slime and couldn't move.

Xia Xiaoqin was somewhat flustered as she let go of his hand.

She definitely couldn't rescue them by herself.

"Lu Yang, don't worry, I'll go back first and try to find someone to rescue you."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yang suddenly became anxious: "Xiao Qin, you can't go back! What if I die if you go back! You have to think of a way to save me! I can't move my whole body right now!"

Xia Xiaoqin frowned.

She took off her clothes and tried to wipe the sticky substance off Lu Yang's body with them, but the clothes became increasingly sticky, even sticking to her hands.

Time waits for no one; this absolutely cannot continue.

Lu Yang grew increasingly impatient, constantly urging Xia Xiaoqin to hurry up, his tone devoid of any gratitude, as if Xia Xiaoqin's actions were entirely her due.

"Hurry up, Xiaoqin! Think of something! Why aren't you doing anything?"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Xia Xiaoqin threw down the clothes in her hand and sighed helplessly.

"In the end, Lu Yang, isn't all of this because of you? We went to the ancient well together, but where were you?"

"Qin Bufei told me that you ran away without me, but I didn't believe it, so I came to rescue you. But you really don't seem to care about me at all..."

Lu Yang's expression changed, and his gaze towards Xia Xiaoqin became more annoyed.

But the moment he opened his mouth, his voice softened again, becoming tender: "Xiaoqin, how could I not care about you! How could you so easily believe what a stranger says?"

"It's all Qin Bufei's fault! I was supposed to go to the ancient well with you, but we ran into him on the way. He chased after me and caused us to separate. I was afraid of affecting you, so I hid here. I'm sorry."

But Xia Xiaoqin was stunned when she heard this.

Lu Yang lied.

There was no way Qin Bufei would chase after him.

Because Qin Bufei was hidden by an ancient well, and Lu Yang disappeared before he reached the well.

"Lu Yang, what nonsense are you spouting?"

But the next second, a noise came from inside the bedroom.

Grandpa Lu, who was lying on the bed, seemed to turn over and started muttering loudly.

"What's going on? Why is the window open? Someone, please close it for me!"

But the outside was empty, with no maids in sight.

So Old Master Lu cursed a few times indignantly and got out of bed.

"Damn it, if it weren't for his death anniversary, I wouldn't be doing this myself."

As he spoke, Old Master Lu stood up.
