Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly
Chapter 285: The Sickly Cousin in a Female-Dominant Novel (8)
Suddenly, a spring thunder sounded, and a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire sky.
Standing at the bedroom door of Cuiwei Residence hidden in the bamboo forest, Guan Cen looked at Huaiyun, who was dressed in black and looked like the devil, with a pale face. He was so scared that he almost forgot to breathe. The candle in his hand fell to the ground and was extinguished in an instant.
"Ah!" He subconsciously wanted to scream, but before the sound came out of his throat, Huaiyun in front of him covered his mouth with his hand.
"Shut up!" Another thunder roared. In the white lightning, Huaiyun's face was cold and his tone was icy, "Otherwise I will kill you."
She had just habitually said a threatening catchphrase, but when Guan Cen smelled the strong smell of blood coming from the man's hand, he trembled like a sieve, blinked in horror, and then nodded with difficulty.
"Where is your husband?" Seeing that he had calmed down, Huaiyun's expression eased a little and she asked.
Guan Cen's heart trembled as he realized that this man was coming for his husband. He trembled even more violently. He gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, then closed his eyes and shook his head.
"Not here?" Huaiyun frowned and subconsciously wanted to look into the house, but Guan Cen was sure that she was here to assassinate her husband, and he suddenly became anxious and reached out to cover her eyes.
But he was no match for Huaiyun. As soon as he stretched out his hands, Huaiyun grabbed both of his arms and twisted them behind his back.
"What are you doing!" Huaiyun's brows were furrowed like a river, and he looked at Guan Cen with a puzzled look on his face, whose face was written with the four big words "face death with indifference".
"Um... Um..." With his mouth covered and his hands held, Guan Cen could only struggle helplessly, trying to speak.
"Hiss." Seeing Guan Cen twisting his body constantly, trying to break free from her restraints, Huaiyun realized that she seemed to have caused misunderstanding, and hurriedly lowered her voice.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. My master is Lin Xi, the chief of the Criminal Justice Department. She is engaged to your husband. Tonight, my master was assassinated on the way home. She lost too much blood and fell into a coma..."
"She's hurt?"
Before Guan Cen could carefully distinguish the truth from the false, he suddenly heard Chang Sun Yan's hurried voice behind him. He had just followed behind Guan Cen and saw that someone suddenly covered his mouth. He was shocked and wanted to step forward to rescue him.
But reason made him slow down his breathing, sneak back into the inner room, blow out the lights, take out the dagger for self-defense, hide in an inconspicuous dark place, and look for an opportunity secretly.
But after listening for a long time, I found that although this person said harsh words, he had no intention of killing, and he suddenly changed the subject and mentioned Lin Xi.
Changsun Yan was startled and after careful consideration, he realized that the voice was indeed familiar. It seemed to be the voice of the subordinate who followed Lin Xi when the marriage proposal was made that day. He immediately felt relieved, and then he heard the news that Lin Xi was injured, so he hurried out.
Hearing the voice, Huaiyun's face suddenly lit up with joy. He quickly let go of Guan Cen and looked into the house. He saw Changsun Yan, wrapped in a cloak, took a few quick steps and appeared behind Guan Cen. Looking closely, he was actually holding a gleaming dagger in his hand.
Seeing the dagger in his hand, Huaiyun couldn't help but gasp. He was so focused on talking to Guan Cen in front of him that he didn't notice that there was someone hiding in the darkness. If he hadn't revealed his identity and had just rushed in, the dagger in Changsun Yan's hand would probably have stabbed her.
"My dear, how are you? I am Huaiyun, a subordinate of Lord Lin. I have come to bother you tonight because my master was seriously injured and the Changsun Mansion is nearby..." Suppressing the fear in his heart, Huaiyun bowed to Changsun Yan and expressed his purpose in an anxious manner.
Chang Sun Yan followed her gaze to his hand, and then realized that he was still holding the dagger tightly. He quickly handed the dagger to Guan Cen, who gritted his teeth and shook his hand, staring at Huai Yun, and looked behind Huai Yun, "Where is she?"
"Oh, here, here!" Seeing that Changsun Yan not only did not blame her, but also seemed willing to help, Huaiyun hurriedly took two steps and picked up Lin Xi, who she had just put on the ground.
"Isn't this the quilt I gave to Guanlan? What did you do to him?" Seeing Lin Xi wrapped tightly in the quilt, Guan Cen suddenly became anxious and asked hurriedly.
"Don't worry, he's fine, he just got knocked out by me." Huaiyun looked at Guan Cen's questioning eyes and explained quickly, "As for this quilt, I just saw it thrown aside, and I was afraid that my master would get cold, so I wrapped her in it. Now I'm afraid it's a little dirty. After my master wakes up, I will definitely compensate you according to the price."
"Okay, isn't your master seriously injured? Come in first and talk." Hearing that Guanlan was fine, Changsun Yan hurriedly reminded Huaiyun.
"Okay, thank you very much, young master." Huaiyun came back to his senses and nodded gratefully to Changsun Yan, then carried Lin Xi, who was wrapped in a quilt, into the house.
After entering the house, Guan Cen relit the oil lamp and lit a few candles, and the room was bright again.
"Put your master on the bed." Chang Sun Yan looked at Huai Yun, who was obviously at a loss after entering the room, and reminded him.
"Oh, okay." It was dark just now and she didn't feel anything, but now the room was lit up. Huaiyun, who was entering her husband's inner room for the first time, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. After hearing Changsun Yan's reminder, she put Lin Xi on the bed in a hurry.
"My husband! Why don't you put Lord Lin on the couch in the outer room? Although you and Lord Lin are married, you haven't..." Seeing that her husband let Lin Xi occupy his bed without any hesitation, Guan Cen immediately spoke up to stop him.
"It's cold outside and Lord Lin is already injured, so we naturally can't make things worse." Changsun Yan glanced at Guan Cen and shook his head in disapproval.
Receiving the look in her husband's eyes, Guan Cen could only shut her mouth helplessly and stretched her head to look at Lin Xi, who was wrapped tightly in a quilt and in an unknown condition.
"Thank you for your consideration, sir. When my master gets better, I will definitely give you a generous gift as a thank you!" Huaiyun hurriedly bowed in gratitude, and then pulled away the quilt wrapped around Lin Xi's body.
"Hiss~" As soon as the quilt was opened, Guan Cen took a deep breath of cold air, and even Chang Sun Yan, who was always calm, turned pale.
