Chapter 22: The Old Man Appears

In the next few days, Chu Yu and Nan Muyi lived a life of waking up and eating, shopping and continuing to eat, Nan Muxi went to see his friends one day, and accompanied them throughout the whole process for the rest of the day, following them to pay the bill. Wei Tian accompanied him occasionally, and when he was away, Linyuan's guards would follow, and soon the day would come for them to leave Linyuan.

Nan Muxi and Wei Tian rode in front, followed by Chu Yu and Nan Muyi's carriage. "Sister-in-law, I can finally go home, I don't feel like I'm really ready to go back when I go shopping, and I'm starting to miss Nan Xiao."

"Well, I also want to go back soon, I want to see everyone soon, I hope there will be no follow-up to this matter."

"No, no, we'll protect you." After saying that, the two of them laughed.

"King Anping is really a blessing." Wei Tian heard the laughter inside the carriage and sighed directly.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Nan Muxi looked at Wei Tian with interest.

"Just by looking at the relationship between your princess and your sister, you can roughly guess her relationship with other people, she is a good girl." Wei Tian did not skimp on his praise in the slightest.

"Thank you King Xiaoyao for your compliment, Yu'er is indeed a good girl, otherwise this king would not have chosen him to be the princess of this king."

"I hope King Anping doesn't misunderstand, I'm just out of appreciation, and I won't do what he thinks. Again, I envy you. ”

Nan Muxi thought that Wei Tian would continue, but he didn't hear his next words. "Is the King of Joy unhappy?"

Wei Tian was surprised that Nan Muxi would actually ask, he thought that according to Nan Muxi's character, he would definitely not ask more. He shook his head: "It's a long story, I'll talk about it in detail when I have a chance in the future, the first priority this time is to escort you back to Nanxiao safely." With that, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Neither spoke anymore.

As soon as the large team left the main city of Linyuan and walked on the path leading to the suburbs, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind them, and the curtain of the carriage they were riding in fluttered and fell with the wind, and soon stopped. Nan Muyi opened the curtain in front.

Chu Yu saw that she didn't respond for a long time, and she also poked her head out to look. A woman dressed in red rode on a horse, her long hair was pulled casually, and she stopped in front of Nanmuxi's horse face to face. "An Ning, who is she?"

"Allure, she is Allure." After speaking, she raised her voice: "Allure, is it really you?" ”

Chu Yu was stunned when she heard the name, it was indeed as Nan Muyi said, she was really captivating and worthy of her name, she really didn't know how to react at this moment, she had to look at Nan Muxi.

"Muxi, I finally see you." Her voice seemed choked.

"Why are you here?"

"I was actually arrested by my family before saying goodbye, and I don't want to leave you, I recently heard that you came to Linyuan, and I have been looking for an opportunity to run out, and finally let me see you."

"Now that I've seen it, let's go back, otherwise I don't know when I'll be arrested again." Chu Yu couldn't see Nan Muxi's expression, and when he said this, his tone was cold, not like his usual voice.

"No, you can take me away."

"Take you away? If you can escape so easily, then why didn't you come to me before? How do I know if what you say is true or false? ”

"You don't believe me? You really don't believe me? ”

"I don't believe it."

Allure didn't speak, she dismounted, and took two steps forward. rolled up his sleeves and showed his neck to Nan Muxi again.

Chu Yu and Nan Muyi also gasped, and the skin she exposed was full of scars, new and old injuries together, which was shocking to see.

"Enough! What are you trying to illustrate? Nan Muxi stopped Allure's hand and continued to pull down his clothes.

"Doesn't that mean anything? Why didn't I escape, I was beaten half to death after I was captured, and I didn't know how long I had been recuperating from my injuries. "Allure is crying silently.

Nan Muxi got off the horse and sorted out the clothes for Allure. "Who are they, to do this to you?"

Chu Yu could hear that Nan Muxi's tone had eased somewhat, and she began to have a bad premonition in her heart.

"They adopted me when I was very young, I thought I had my own home, who knew that when I grew up, they wanted to sell me to the Qinglou, the last time I ran out because I knew that they were going to sell me, I was going to tell you the truth, but then I found out your identity, I was a little embarrassed. Later, I don't know how they found me, they threatened me that if I didn't go back, I would set fire to your palace, and they would do anything. I didn't want to bother you, so I took the initiative to go back with them. Allure lowered his head after speaking.

"There are such adoptive parents? You take us there, we ......"

"I don't want to go back there, please take me away, take me away...... I don't want to...... I don't want to ......" Before the words were finished, the whole person fell.

"Allure, Allure!" Nan Muxi helped her, hugged her, and put it directly on the carriage of Chu Yu, and then got into the carriage herself.

The originally spacious carriage instantly became a little crowded, "An Ning, you sit here and let her lean on you." She must have just been a little weak, so she should get out of here first and get to the nearest town to get some medicine. ”

"Second brother, do you really want to take her back?" An Ning looked at Chu Yu and then at Nan Muxi.

"Well, there's no other way to do it for the time being." With that, he jumped out of the carriage and the procession moved on.

Chu Yu bit his lip and didn't speak. He just can't forget her, will he marry her?

Nan Muyi wanted to speak, but when she looked at the person next to her, she still didn't speak, and she was silent all the way, completely losing her previous laughter.

Wei Tian was faced with the sudden situation, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't help it, he was completely confused, but his intuition told him that the atmosphere had begun to become weird.

Indeed, on the next road, Nan Muyi, who originally liked to laugh and was afraid of boredom, also quieted down, she looked at Chu Yu from time to time, and every time she wanted to say something, she stopped. Chu Yu and Nan Muyi had to smile reluctantly when they looked at each other, she didn't know what to say, her calm heart was turbulent at the moment, and her mind was full of thoughts. The annoying things are really one after another!

When they arrived at the nearest town, the group settled at the inn, and Nan Muxi sent Lu Bo to find the doctor, and then directly carried Allure out of the carriage.

"Sister-in-law......" An Ning looked at the first words of the silent carriage and opened her mouth quietly.

"Huh? Is there anything to say about Anning? ”

"Second brother, he...... Alas, I don't know how to say it either. ”

Chu Yu looked at Nan Muyi's guilty face, and was a little unbearable. "It's okay, An Ning, after all, it's the woman your second brother likes, and your sister-in-law can understand." She tried her best to pretend that nothing had happened, but the bitterness in her heart made it impossible for her to deceive herself. "Let's go and see if we can help."

An Ning followed Chu Yu into the inn, and Xiao Er took them upstairs. After the next person put the things away, Chu Yu hesitated to go to the next room to have a look, when there was a knock on the door. "Sister-in-law, it's me, An Ning."

Chu Yu probably guessed An Ning's thoughts, and she opened the door.

"Sister-in-law, let's go see Allure."

"Okay." When Chu Yu turned around and closed the door, Nan Muyi had already knocked on the door next door.

"Come in." Nan Muxi's voice made it impossible to hear emotions.

"Second brother, have you woken up, my sister-in-law and I came over to take a look, is there anything you need help with?"

Chu Yu looked at Nan Muxi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and Nan Muyi and his arrival did not make him get up. He glanced over, then fell on the man on the bed. "She's not awake yet, there's nothing she needs help with, so let's go get some rest first."

"Don't you need to prepare a clean dress for the girl in Allure?" Chu Yu still spoke.

When Nan Muxi heard Chu Yu's words, she raised her head and glanced at her, with a hint in her eyes that Chu Yu couldn't understand. "Well, let's wait for the doctor to see me and prepare, it's safer for you to stay in the inn." Nan Muxi wasn't completely distracted by Allure's appearance, at least he remembered their safety.

There was silence for a while, and until the doctor invited by Lu Bo came, several people did not speak again.

"Dr. Lao is going to treat her." Nanmuxi stood up.

"Okay." The doctor said that he would take the pulse of Allure, and after a while, he got up and faced Nan Muxi. "Childe, this girl is fine, but her body is very weak and she seems to have not eaten for a long time. The old man saw that she still had external injuries on her arms, so I will prescribe a prescription, you can grab some medicine for her to recuperate, and buy some ointment for external injuries. If she wakes up, feed her some liquid food for the time being. ”

"Okay, I'm tired."

After sending off the doctor, Nan Muxi asked Chu Yu and Nan Muyi to go back to the room to rest, and went out after instructing Lu Bo a few words.

Chu Yu and Nan Muyi met Wei Tian at the door of the room, and he seemed to be waiting outside the door. "How's the Allure girl?"

"The doctor has already read the prescription and prescribed the medicine, and he will probably need to recuperate for a few days." Hatsuyu said softly.

"Then you go back to your room to rest first, and I'll let Xiao Er prepare some food and send it to your room."

"Okay, thank you...... Thank you, Gongzi Wei. Sister-in-law, I'll go to your room too. As she spoke, Nan Muyi took Chu Yu's arm.

"Okay." Chu Yu smiled and gestured to Wei Tian, and then the two went back to Chu Yu's room. Back in the room, Nan Muyi took off her shoes and lay on the bed, and Chu Yu also lay down. The two of them looked at the beams of the room quietly.

"Sister-in-law, I want to comfort you, but I don't know what to say." After a while, Nan Muyi broke the silence first.

"To be honest, my sister-in-law doesn't know what to do. I used to wonder if Allure would suddenly appear again, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, and I felt a little uneasy, but I didn't know what those uneasiness were. I can't read your second brother's eyes, I don't know if there is still love for Allure, I guess there is, otherwise he wouldn't be so abnormal. ”

"Well, the initiative is in the hands of the second brother. Sister-in-law, you're not leaving, are you? Nan Muyi said and looked at Chu Yu.

"Me? I don't know either, I know it's normal to have three wives and four concubines in this era, but I ...... I may not be able to do this, if your second brother chooses Allure, then I may leave, before it's too late. ”

Nan Muyi didn't know what Chu Yu meant when it was not too late, she only knew that Chu Yu looked sad at this moment, and her eyes revealed firmness. She didn't speak again.

In the next few days, Nan Muxi stayed by the bedside of Allure most of the time, Chu Yu and Nan Muyi went to see Allure a few times, she has been groggy and asleep, occasionally waking up, her eyes are empty, and she does not speak quietly. Chu Yu looked at Nan Muxi, who was slightly haggard, and there was a trace of loss in his heart. But there is nowhere to vent such emotions, she wants to go out with Nan Muyi, but she doesn't want to make trouble in a strange realm.

When Chu Yu was immersed in his thoughts, Nan Muyi came over from the next room. "Sister-in-law, Allure's state looks much better today, the second brother said, look at the situation, if you can, we will continue to rush tomorrow."

"Ah, I want to go back soon, it's too boring to stay here every day."

"yes, it's boring." Nan Muyi saw that Chu Yu no longer spoke, and seemed to be thoughtful. "What is my sister-in-law thinking?"

"Nothing." Chu Yu smiled reluctantly, she knew that Nan Muyi must be able to think of what she was thinking about Allure, so she didn't want to think about it for the time being, and she would wait until she returned to Nan Xiao.
