The bloody scars were unbearable to look at.
Yun Wanchen turned his gaze away and hesitated before gently placing his hand on her forehead. A scorching heat instantly transmitted to his palm.
Indeed, a high fever.
Her condition was worse than he imagined.
Yun Wanchen pursed his lips, lifted the blanket below her waist, and reached out to hold her.
The young girl was startled awake, her hazy eyes staring blankly at him. After a moment, she softly asked, "Who are you?"
Unexpectedly, she woke up; Yun Wanchen was slightly taken aback. Before he could react, the young girl closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Her brows were furrowed tightly, and her lips were covered with a faint blood scab.
Clearly, bitten and broken while being hit.
Yun Wanchen diverted his gaze and stepped towards the outside, carrying the little girl out. Cang Yan’s eyes widened in shock, his jaw nearly falling off.
But this place was unsuitable for lingering, nor was it a place for conversation. He swallowed his words and kept silent.
"Let’s go."
Although carrying someone, Yun Wanchen vanished in a flash as if he was unburdened, with Cang Yan following closely behind.
"Giddyup..."
Seated in the carriage prepared by subordinates, Cang Yan casually glanced inside the carriage.
Didn’t the Princely Heir say he was only there to apply medicine on the young girl? How did he end up bringing her out?
What should be done next?
Also, is someone impersonating the Princely Heir?
His Princely Heir, always disciplined and noble, how could he commit such ’kidnapping’?
What’s the background of that young girl? To make the Princely Heir act this way?
Cang Yan was completely bewildered, not understanding anything, but vaguely felt they were headed for trouble.
Despite the girl’s status, being a concubine daughter of Su Taiwei, she could die, but she absolutely couldn’t disappear under the Su family’s watch.
If Su Taiwei thoroughly investigates this matter, what can be done?
The carriage soon arrived near the Duke Ning Mansion. Cang Yan removed his night clothes, entered first to clear the way, and after dismissing a guard on the path, Yun Wanchen then leaped over the wall carrying the girl.
Thus, the servants of Duke Ning Mansion were completely unaware that their Princely Heir had ’stolen’ someone home in the dead of night.
They headed straight for Lan Yue Pavilion.
Yun Wanchen brought the girl to the wing room.
"Cang Yan, go get the medicine, and also call Yao’er over."
"Alright."
So, the unlucky Yun Wanyao had just taken off her clothes preparing for sleep when her maid called her up.
"Miss, Cang Yan called you to Lan Yue Pavilion; maybe the Princely Heir wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wanyao’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.
"Is this a mistake? Brother calling me so late?"
Unable to figure it out clearly, Yun Wanyao nonetheless dressed again and left the room, carrying a lantern and heading to Lan Yue Pavilion with Cang Yan.
"Cang Yan, what’s so urgent that brother can’t wait until tomorrow?"
"Well, once you see the Princely Heir, you’ll know."
"..."
So mysterious?
Yun Wanyao’s curiosity was thoroughly piqued.
Upon reaching Lan Yue Pavilion, she saw Yun Wanchen standing at the wing room’s door, her curiosity intensified.
"Brother, what are you doing at the wing room door so late?"
"Cang Yan, guard the door, don’t let the servants come into my courtyard."
Yun Wanchen didn’t immediately answer her; instead, he turned to instruct Cang Yan.
"Alright."
Cang Yan quickly retreated.
Yun Wanyao’s mind was filled with questions.
"Yao’er, come in."
Following his words, Yun Wanchen entered the wing room, with Yun Wanyao quickly following.
And then, on the bed was a... a girl???
Yun Wanyao’s eyes widened instantly, her face struck with disbelief, looking at Yun Wanchen.
"Bro-bro-brother, who is she? Where did she come from?"
So late at night, the mystery was for a girl?
What is this situation?
Yun Wanyao swallowed hard, feeling her brain was utterly insufficient.
"She’s Su Jian’s concubine daughter, Su Qianyue. You’ve heard about her from our younger sister, haven’t you, Yao’er?"
Yun Wanchen looked at her and spoke calmly, and Yun Wanyao’s mind instantly recalled a scene, nodding involuntarily.
"I remember."
When their younger sister spoke of that scene, she was deeply shaken; how could she forget?
"Wait, she-she-she, is Su Qianyue?"
"But how is Su Qianyue in our mansion? Brother, what were you doing out so late?"
