Chapter 492: The gentleman finds out

That woman went to the Han Estate!

Long Feiye had finally calmed down, but now he was swallowed by his rage again! He wanted her to go home, but she’d gone to the Han Estate instead. What does this mean? She’s not planning to go back to the Duke of Qin’s estate anymore? Does she want to leave me?

Long Feiye’s fury seemed to coat his already frigid face with a fresh layer of ice. A dangerous aura emitted from his body as he nearly crushed the medical pouch in his arms.

But he ended up not saying a word.

Outside the carriage, Chu Xifeng was shaking with fright. He had no idea whether His Highness had heard Xu Donglin’s words, but he’d have to report them regardless! After all, His Highness had left him with the task of escorting esteemed wangfei home. Chu Xifeng glared extensively at Xu Donglin before bolstering up his courage to speak. And yet, Long Feiye suddenly said, “Still not going inside?”

Chu Xifeng jumped in fright before quickly directing the carriage through one of the side gates. As for whether or not His Highness was planning to track Han Yunxi down, he didn’t dare to ask. But a part of him was still expecting His Highness to acknowledge it in some way.

Instead, Long Feiye simply went straight to his rooms and shut the doors without saying a word.

Zhao mama, Baili Mingxiang, and Su Xiaoyu all surrounded Chu Xifeng, each of them worried about different things.

“Where’s esteemed wangfie? Wasn’t she rescued back?” Zhao mama asked anxiously.

“Guard Chu,” Su Xiaoyu asked rather curiously, “Did they rescue back that Pill Fiend too?”

Baili Mingxiang was most concerned about His Highness Duke of Qin, who had looked unwell when he got off the carriage—even a little pale. Chu Xifeng didn’t answer any of their queries, but simply flipped out of the circle formed by the trio to head for the Han Estate. Although there were guards there to stand watch, it was better if he went personally as well.

The assassins shouldn’t have the guts to launch another attack now, but what if they did?

In truth, Chu Xifeng dearly wanted to tell esteemed wangfei that His Highness Duke of Qin had suffered internal injuries, and serious ones at that, but he could never share much about His Highness’s personal affairs.

The current Han Yunxi was in the Han Estate’s Idle Cloud Enclosure. After Lady Helian became the head of house, she transformed the various courtyards of the estate, renting out all of the empty rooms and leaving three for the family. One of them was specially reserved for Han Yunxi. Because Han Yunxi lived in the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion (云闲) at the Duke of Qin’s estate, she reversed the characters to call this place the Idle Cloud Enclosure (闲云). Now Lady Helian and little Yi’er were standing guard by the door, both of them oblivious to what could have happened. Esteemed wangfei had been rescued, so why did she end up coming here?

Lady Helian had tried to coax out her multiple times; in the end, she shot her son a few looks, hinting that he should try instead.

“Big sis, come and open the door!”

“Big sis, did His Highness Duke of Qin bully you?”

“Big sis, can you please open the door? Yi’er’s begging you.”

Finally, Han Yunxi spoke up. “Seventh Madame, you two should go back and rest. I’m tired and want to sleep.”

Without a choice, Lady Helian took little Yi’er and went away. Once things had finally stilled, Han Yunxi exhaled. Unfortunately, her heart still felt stifled. She hugged a pillow while sitting on the bed, her head feeling heavy and her thoughts distracted. From being attacked at the Gu Estate, protected by Gu Qishao, betrayed by the imperial guards, fleeing with Gu Qishao, unmasking his true face, treating his injuries and seeing Long Feiye show up, things had seemed to pass by in a blur. She was still reeling from all the events! Now all she could do was sleep and dream. She ended up imagining Long Feiye coming back this time, but it wasn’t a pleasant daydream. She knew that Long Feiye would naturally get angry after finding her half-dressed next to Gu Qishao on the bed.

But why didn’t he stop to listen to her explanation? He should’ve known that I was attacked by assassins, right? He clearly saw the injuries on mine and Gu Qishao’s bodies, didn’t he? Damn her for not getting dressed before applying medicine for Gu Qishao, but she really had been too preoccupied to remember. She never meant to do it intentionally.

As a doctor, she had grown urgent when faced with an emergency. Moreover, Gu Qishao had gotten hurt all because of her! Why couldn’t Long Feiye think things through? If Gu Qishao hadn’t been there, Long Feiye wouldn’t even have a wife to come back to. The rights and wrongs of the matter swirled around in Han Yunxi’s head before settling on the repeating image of Long Feiye’s disdainful smile.

Long Feiye, because I like you, I’m willing to toss my pride into the mud. But that doesn’t mean you can scorn me!

Why did you feel I was beneath your dignity? What kind of woman do you really think I am?
