All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth
Chapter 224 Survival in the wild
"I seem to have internal injuries." Chu Qirui said in pain, holding his stomach.
Lu Yundi was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked nervously: "Chu Qirui, what happened to you? How did you get internal injuries? We are deep in the woods, far away from the Marquis' Mansion, what should we do?"
Chu Qirui gritted his teeth, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. He tried to force out a smile and tried to comfort Lu Yundi: "Madam, I'm fine. I was just careless just now and got scratched by a branch. This minor injury will heal after a few days of rest."
Lu Yundi couldn't help but tear up. She gently stroked Chu Qirui's cheek and said distressedly: "You said you were fine, but your face has changed. There are dangers everywhere in this forest. We have to find a way to leave here quickly."
The two sat under an old tree, surrounded by dense trees, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves on them, mottled. A gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled, as if telling an ancient secret.
Chu Qirui looked at Lu Yundi's worried eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He held her hand tightly and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, I will be fine. Our first priority now is to find a way out. We can't waste time here."
Lu Yundi nodded, wiped away her tears, and said calmly, "Then let's split up and search. You rest here, and I'll go around to see if there is a way out. You must take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back."
Chu Qirui nodded slightly and watched Lu Yundi disappear into the depths of the woods.
Lu Yundi was walking through the woods, looking for a way out while keeping an eye on the surroundings. Suddenly, she found an open space in front of her, where there was a stone tablet with the words "Exit of the Woods" engraved on it.
She was delighted and ran over to examine the stone tablet carefully. She saw a path behind the stone tablet, leading deep into the woods. She immediately returned to the original place and told Chu Qirui the good news.
Chu Qirui immediately struggled to stand up after hearing this. He looked at Lu Yundi, his eyes full of gratitude and joy. The two walked along the path, being very careful along the way, fearing that they would encounter any more accidents.
After walking for a while, they finally came to the exit of the woods. Chu Qirui looked at the scenery in front of him and couldn't help but sighed: "Madam, thanks to you, we can successfully leave this forest."
The two smiled at each other and walked out of the woods hand in hand.
After returning to the Chongren Marquis Mansion, Chu Qirui immediately asked someone to invite a doctor. The doctor examined him and confirmed that it was only a minor internal injury and nothing serious. Chu Qirui was relieved and recovered from his injuries.
……
"Jiang Jilian looks disgusting. I don't want to see him." Lu Yundi said frankly.
Chu Qirui stood aside, his eyes falling on Lu Yundi from time to time.
"Madam, you seem to be worried." Chu Qirui said softly, his eyes full of concern.
Lu Yundi raised his head, looked at Chu Qirui, and smiled slightly: "Young Marquis Chu, you misunderstood, I am just troubled by something."
Chu Qirui nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of understanding: "If Madam doesn't mind, you might as well talk to me a little."
Lu Yundi hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "To be honest, my husband, Jiang Jilian, the Marquis of Zhenxing, he...he betrayed me."
Chu Qirui frowned, not expecting that the wife of the Marquis of Zhenxing would encounter such misfortune. He said in a deep voice: "Madam, don't worry, I will seek justice for you."
Lu Yundi shook his head gently: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, I don't want to pursue it. It's just that I don't want to see him again, and I don't want him to affect my life anymore."
Chu Qirui's eyes flashed with respect. This lady was indeed different. He smiled slightly: "Madam, don't worry, I will find a way to keep you away from these troubles."
As they were talking, the door of the banquet hall was gently pushed open, and a maid walked in with a cup of tea in her hand. She placed the cup in front of Lu Yundi, and then whispered, "Madam, there is a woman named Ye Wanxue outside who wants to see you."
Lu Yundi's eyes narrowed. She knew that Ye Wanxue was a maid in the Zhenxing Marquis's mansion and her husband's lover. She gently put down the teacup and said to Chu Qirui, "Young Marquis Chu, can you accompany me out for a while? I want to see her."
Chu Qirui nodded slightly and followed Lu Yundi out of the banquet hall. In the garden of Chongren Marquis's Mansion, the night was like water, and the moonlight sprinkled on the two of them, making it seem particularly peaceful.
In a corner of the garden, Ye Wanxue lowered her head, looking very pitiful. When she saw Lu Yundi and Chu Qirui, she knelt down and saluted: "Madam, I am Ye Wanxue, and I have come to you to apologize for my crime."
Lu Yundi looked at her coldly: "Ye Wanxue, do you admit your guilt?"
Ye Wanxue said in a trembling voice: "I know my crime, and I am sorry to Madam."
Chu Qirui frowned. He didn't like this kind of occasion, but for Lu Yundi, he chose to remain silent.
Lu Yundi said coldly: "Ye Wanxue, since you know your crime, then reflect on it and don't appear in front of me again."
Ye Wanxue nodded repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Madam, I will definitely reflect on myself and never dare to offend you again."
Chu Qirui looked at Lu Yundi, secretly admiring her decisiveness and calmness. He said softly, "Madam, you are really admirable."
Lu Yundi smiled slightly: "Young Marquis Chu, you are too kind. I just want to get a quiet life for myself."
Back in the banquet hall, the two sat down again. Chu Qirui couldn't help but ask, "Madam, what are your plans for the future?"
Lu Yundi sighed softly: "I plan to leave the capital and go to a quiet place to live the life I want."
A trace of worry flashed in Chu Qirui's eyes: "Madam, can you really live well alone?"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly: "I believe that as long as I am willing, I can live a good life."
The sunlight shone through the lush leaves, casting mottled shadows on Lu Yundi's face, adding a soft glow to her already beautiful face. Chu Qirui sat on a tree nearby, his eyes attracted by her skillful movements.
"I didn't expect that Madam is so proficient in the art of survival in the wild." Chu Qirui couldn't help but speak, with a hint of admiration in his tone.
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, raised her head and looked at Chu Qirui, with a sly look in her eyes: "Madam, I naturally know a thing or two about the way to survive. However, I didn't expect that the young marquis would suddenly appear in this deep mountain forest."
Chu Qirui heard this, and the corners of his mouth curved up, but he did not answer, but said lightly: "Madam, the fire is already lit, should we talk about business next?"
Lu Yundi nodded and put the dead leaves in her hand into the fire. The light of the fire reflected on her face, making her expression more vivid. "Of course we have to talk about business, but before that, I want to know why the young marquis is here."
Chu Qirui smiled lightly, his eyes revealing a hint of depth: "Madam, you should know that the relationship between the Zhenxing Marquisate and the Chongren Marquisate is no longer a secret. I came here this time to discuss the future of the two mansions with you."
