After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

The old marquis likes quietness. In the more than one month since they came, the old marquis mostly stayed in his own yard, doing boxing, practicing calligraphy, etc., and rarely came out.

He suddenly went out in the middle of the night, bringing someone with him. Something must have happened.

When Yun Qingyin thought of this, she insisted and Nanny Jiang couldn't persuade her any more. She could only help her get up and change her clothes.

Nanny Jiang is Yun Qingyin's wet nurse. She has been by her side since she was a child. The Yun family was worried about her going to the capital this time, so they specially asked her to come along. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. I asked, and the servants in the mansion also said they don't know."

Yun Qingyin was not surprised. Even if something happened in a big family, they would not easily tell others, even if she was her aunt's niece.

She didn't let Nanny Jiang comb her hair. The noise outside made her nervous. Her aunt treated her very well, and she didn't want to see anyone in the Marquis' Mansion get into trouble.

"What time is it?"

Nanny Jiang fastened Yun Qingyin's belt and said, "It's past midnight."

"Then it should be curfew outside. Why would the old marquis go out at this time?"

Once the curfew is in place, you cannot easily move around in the city, let alone leave the city.

The old marquis doesn’t even like to go out during the day, so why would he take people out with him at night?

"Mammy, is my cousin back?"

"It seems... not yet." Nanny Jiang suddenly remembered that someone mentioned the cousin before, "Oh, Miss, I heard a servant say that it seemed that someone mentioned that the cousin's friend came to visit. I don't know what they said, but suddenly the old marquis ordered someone to leave."

Yun Qingyin frowned slightly and sighed, "Let's go out and take a look."

"Miss, it's late at night, and the dew is heavy outside. Why don't you rest in your room?" Nanny Jiang knew that the noise outside was unusual, but no matter how chaotic it was, she had to take good care of the young lady.

"No, I can't sleep." Yun Qingyin sighed.

As soon as she went out, she saw the two sisters, Sun Yusui and Sun Yurui, who were also up and had their hair untied. They held their hands tightly and seemed to be whispering to each other, with a hint of worry in their eyes.

"Cousin, why are you out too?" Sun Yurui was outgoing and as the youngest of the three, she said whatever she wanted to say.

Yun Qingyin chuckled, "I couldn't sleep, and I heard some noise outside, so I came out to take a look."

Sun Yurui pouted, "Me too, I heard the noise in the house. Cousin, why is there such a big noise outside? Did something happen?"

The two sisters lived at the border all year round, and had experienced many situations where assassins sneaked into the house, or someone suddenly attacked the city and asked their father to go to battle.

So once a situation occurs, they are used to coming out to take a look first and then react.

"I don't know. Let's go to my aunt's place." Yun Qingyin shook her head.

In fact, she personally tends to think...something happened to her cousin who was away. It must be no small matter that could make the old marquis go out so late at night. There are not many people in the mansion, and only her cousin is away.

"Cousin, let's go together!" Sun Yurui quickly wrapped her arms around Yun Qingyin and said with a sweet smile.

"Okay." Yun Qingyin was not good at dealing with others, but she couldn't refuse a delicate and sweet girl like Sun Yurui.

When Chu Xi returned home, he saw the whole family standing at the gate waiting for him. Even Yun Qingyin and the other two who were staying for a while... were standing at the door with their hair loose, waiting eagerly.

Chu Xi came back covered in blood. She had lost too much blood, so her face and lips were slightly pale. The servants helped her hold the blood-stained sword.

Before she even reached the door, Yun and Chu Wenbai couldn't wait to greet her. Yun was relatively calm. She was a loving mother, but she was also the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion. She wouldn't cry easily, but she couldn't help but have slightly red eyes.

Chu Wenbai was different. He was a scholar and sentimental. He wanted to touch Chu Xi with his hands, but when he saw the blood-stained clothes, he was at a loss as to where to start.

"Qibai, this is..." Chu Wenbai, the father, reacted even more violently than Yun, and was about to cry, "How did it become like this? Where did it get hurt?"

He wanted to dig it out, but when he saw the wounds, he trembled and didn't dare to touch it, for fear of hurting Qi Bai.

When the old marquis saw his son's disappointing appearance, he couldn't help but get angry, "Why are you standing outside the mansion? Are you acting as a gatekeeper?"

Chu Wenbai was helpless, "Father..."

The old marquis scolded with full force, "Just speak properly, you are not acting like a real man. Why did I give birth to a son like you!"

None of his daughters-in-law acted like him. If it weren't for the fact that his son looked somewhat like himself, he would have suspected that his son had been switched.

Chu Wenbai explained with red eyes, "Father, I am also worried about Jiang'er, aren't you worried?"

"......"nonsense.

The old marquis felt uncomfortable listening to his son's soft explanation. If he had a whip in his hand, he would have hit him first.

This thing is actually my own child.

Chu Xi pushed Chu Wenbai's hand away, "Father, I'm fine, just a minor injury."

Chu Wenbai couldn't help feeling sad and upset when he saw how distant his daughter was with him. She was already injured and like this, but she still said it was okay. It was all... because her father had taught her too strictly, causing his daughter to become almost identical to her father in character.

The Yun Qingyin sisters and their two sisters said, “…” So this is how my uncle and the old marquis get along!

Yun suppressed her worry about her daughter and asked her how she felt and how her injuries were.

Chu Xi naturally told Yun that his wound was fine, it was just an ordinary injury and would heal in a few days.

"Go and call the court doctor quickly. Everyone else can go back. There's no need to wait here." Yun knew that her father-in-law couldn't bear to see Wen Bai doing something stupid again.

"You all go back to your rooms. Qibai, come with me to the study, and you ask the court doctor to go to my study." The old marquis instructed Yun.

Although Yun didn't know why her father-in-law gave such instructions, she knew that she had to do as he said. Her father-in-law must have something important to tell her.

Yun Qingyin and the other two stood aside. No one dared to speak in front of the old marquis. Seeing Chu Xi dyed her clothes bright red and the old marquis's three elders beside her, the three did not dare to interrupt easily.

Yun Qingyin was a traditional lady from a wealthy family who seldom went out. How could she have ever seen such a bloody scene?

It was not until Chu Xi followed the old marquis away that Sun Yurui let out a long sigh, "The old marquis's aura is really intimidating, he is worthy of being an old general who has fought on the battlefield for more than ten years."

Before, they seldom saw the old marquis, and even if they did, they dared not look him directly in the face.

We can see him now, but the bloody aura on the old marquis has not yet dissipated, and the sharpness in his eyes has not completely disappeared.

"Of course." Sun Yushui and Yun Qingyin look similar in appearance, but in fact, she is completely different from Yun Qingyin. Yun Qingyin is a down-to-earth lady from a wealthy family, but Sun Yushui has learned martial arts from her father for several years.

She could see that the old marquis had profound internal strength. When he came back just now, the bloody aura on his body was relatively light compared to ordinary people.

But it is very obvious to those who learn martial arts.
