HCB Chapter 151 You've gone off to cause trouble again?
Chapter 151 You've gone off to cause trouble again?
Yu Wan glanced at Yun Shang with a "whoosh".
The man's expression remained calm and indifferent, revealing no extra emotion. When Yu Wan looked over, he asked casually:
"what happened?"
Yu Wan cursed under her breath, but put on a smile and said directly, "You've been causing trouble again?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile flashed in Yun Shang's eyes.
He didn't deny it, and slowly nodded under Yu Wan's burning gaze. "The Imperial Guards who came to search the mansion should have been mobilized by Prince Xuan. Yu Niang, do you have any way to help me hide from their search?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the wound on his arm.
Yu Wan was immediately at her wit's end.
Her mind raced with thoughts.
The person who took Yun Shang away yesterday was most likely one of Prince Xuan's men. Something must have happened between them, and Prince Xuan must have offended this petty and calculating protagonist.
In the original novel, although the male protagonist Yun Shang was weak in the early stages, he could always take revenge in secret if someone offended him, so he never had to wait for the saying "a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years".
He would settle a score the very next day.
Yu Wan never expected that Yun Shang, having just arrived in Shengjing and not yet established himself, would dare to secretly plot against Prince Xuan.
She looked down at the injury on Yun Shang's arm with a troubled expression. After a moment of contemplation, she looked up at Yun Shang, blinking her eyes, and asked, "Are you sure you want me to help you?"
Yun Shang actually had a way to deceive the Imperial Guards who came to search, but he was curious to know what method Yu Wan could come up with.
He nodded slightly, his tone earnest: "Yes, I have lost too much blood and am weak. I can't think of a good solution right now, so I can only rely on my wife."
Yu Wan gazed at him for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."
Outside the door, Zhou Suquan led the Imperial Guards in.
He already disliked Yun Shang, and on the orders of Prince Xuan to investigate the suspect, he was ruthless during the search, allowing his men to turn the Yun residence into a chaotic mess.
The servants of the Yun family were terrified and confused, not understanding what was happening.
Miao Hong stood guard outside the door.
Although she hadn't gotten close before, she had smelled the strong stench of blood on the young master. Now that the Imperial Guards had come to search the mansion, it was hard for Miao Hong not to connect the two events.
Could the suspect these Imperial Guards are looking for be the young master?
Thinking of this, Miao Hong's heart pounded like thunder.
She secretly took a deep breath and, as the Imperial Guards rushed over, spread her arms to stop them!
The Imperial Guards were taken aback when a mere maid dared to stop them. Their faces hardened, and they snapped, "Get out of the way if you don't want to die!"
Miao Hong looked at the knife in front of her, her body trembled, but she still didn't move away, suppressing her fear as she said, "This...we can't go in here!"
Zhou Suquan was searching other places when he noticed the commotion and strode over.
He glanced at the closed door behind Miao Hong, his eyes turning cold, and uttered a single word in a chilling voice, "Search!"
"Yes!"
Before Miao Hong could react, she was shoved aside by a member of the Imperial Guard.
She collapsed to the ground, and in desperation, could only shout at them, "You can't go in! My young master and mistress are inside—"
Zhou Suquan's eyes turned cold, and he strode forward, kicking open the door.
The Imperial Guards filed in, and Zhou Suquan was just about to step in when he heard a woman's exclamation.
"what--"
"Who let you in!"
Zhou Suquan strode in and saw the bed curtains swaying, from which a pillow flew out and hit him squarely.
Zhou Suquan was hit in the face, and his anger flared up. Just as he was about to explode, he heard a voice from behind the bed curtains, "Oh dear, my husband, I told you, we can't do this in broad daylight... It's so embarrassing!"
Zhou Suquan and the other Imperial Guards looked somewhat embarrassed.
Inside the tent, Yu Wan covered her chest with the blanket, acting even more earnestly, "If the adults see this, how am I supposed to go out and face people in the future?"
Zhou Suquan stood there, unsure whether to advance or retreat.
Just as he was in a dilemma, a clear, cold male voice sounded from behind the curtain, "Lord Zhou, please forgive me. My wife is being naughty. Please make an exception for us. We will reply to you after we have finished tidying up."
Zhou Suquan couldn't really take their bedding seriously, so he stared at them intently for a while before gesturing for the Imperial Guards to leave.
He turned and stared at the curtains, his tone grim: "Don't try anything funny!"
Yun Shang's calm voice rang out, "Lord Zhou is overthinking it."
Zhou Suquan stepped away, standing guard at the door, his eyes fixed on the door, as if he wanted to see through it to find out what was going on inside.
Miao Hong nervously swallowed.
Shortly afterward, the door was opened from the inside.
Yu Wan appeared at the door, arm in arm with Yun Shang.
She was already dressed, but her cheeks were pink, and even her ears and neck were flushed with embarrassment.
Yun Shang, however, remained calm and handsome as ever.
Zhou Suquan's gaze swept over Yu Wan, then stopped on Yun Shang, and then subtly brushed across his arm.
Yun Shang raised his eyes and glanced around, then asked in a calm voice, "What is Lord Zhou searching for in this manor? Do you need my help?"
Zhou Suquan looked at him, took a few steps forward, and suddenly grabbed his arm.
He smiled and said, "Young Master Yun's cooperation is very appreciated. We have searched almost the entire mansion, except for Young Master Yun's bedroom."
Yu Wan smiled and said, "Lord Zhou, please go ahead and search. We were ignorant just now and almost delayed your important business."
Zhou Suquan stared intently at Yun Shang's face, as if trying to find some flaw in his expression.
However, Yun Shang's face remained calm, without even a furrowed brow.
There was no blood seeping from his sleeves.
Zhou Suquan thought of what Prince Xuan had said, and he tightened his grip, his arm veins almost bulging.
He remained expressionless. "Young Master Yun is still the most sensible one."
"Go, you lot, go in and search."
Yun Shang glanced at the hand that Zhou Suquan was holding and said in a calm tone, "Young Master Zhou is a military general. I'm afraid I can't withstand such strength."
Zhou Suquan seemed to only then notice that he had been holding Yun Shang's arm. He withdrew his hand apologetically and stared at his arm. "I was so busy talking to Young Master Yun that I forgot my boundaries. Did I hurt Young Master Yun?"
Before Yun Shang could speak, he continued, "I have long heard that Young Master Yun is frail. If I am unable to take the exam because of my injured arm, I will feel truly uneasy."
"Why don't you lift your clothes so I can see if you're injured, Young Master Yun?"
A dark glint flashed in Yu Wan's eyes.
If Yun Shang were to refuse Zhou Suquan at this moment, Zhou Suquan would immediately become suspicious of him.
Zhou Suquan stared intently at Yun Shang.
When Prince Xuan sent him on this mission, he said that the thief who injured him was most likely Yun Shang.
Since the Prince of Xuan was so certain, Zhou Suquan also concluded in his heart that it was Yun Shang.
He and this person were not compatible, and it would be quite an interesting story to see him fall into the dust.
Seeing that Yun Shang remained silent, Zhou Suquan sneered, "Why is Young Master Yun silent? If you are unable to move, I will do it for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Yun Shang's arm with one hand and quickly rolled up his sleeve with the other!
