Chapter 1257 - 1263: Who is He (4)
While putting on her shoes, Xiang Yun suddenly thought of something and said, "What about the dirty clothes I changed out of? Where did they go?"
Cui Lu replied in a low voice, "The servant burned them. Seeing that the lingerie and underpants were stained with the bandit’s blood, I thought the Young Madam wouldn’t want them anymore. Moreover, keeping those clothes might harm the Young Madam’s reputation..."
Xiang Yun nodded, then washed her hands and face, rinsed her mouth, and rubbed her teeth with salt before sitting in front of the dressing table to let Cui Lu help her with her makeup. Soon, people from Duke Li Guo’s Mansion and the Marquis of Jian’an’s Mansion would arrive, and if she looked sickly, they would have an even greater excuse to force her to go back.
As she was getting ready, she suddenly heard Cui Ping, who was cleaning in the courtyard, shout, "Young Master Li!"
Xiang Yun was startled and looked at Cui Lu, "What did Cui Ping just say?"
Just as Cui Lu was about to answer, Mo Zili had already parted the curtain and strode into the room. As soon as he entered, his eyes were tightly fixed on Xiang Yun, filled with deep anxiety, "Xiang Yun, how are you? Are you alright?"
He asked anxiously, his eyes sweeping over Xiang Yun who was in front of the dressing table, his face revealing his urgent concern.
He had heard early in the morning at the mansion that she had been attacked at the manor, and his heart nearly leapt out of his chest. Thinking about what might have happened to her, he was so anxious that he couldn’t bear the pain on his body, rode on horseback, and rushed here. Although the rural roads were rugged and jolted him so much that his injured bones almost broke again, causing him pain that nearly threw him off the horse several times, he endured the pain of his broken bones, gritting his teeth until he saw her and was sure she was unharmed. Only then was he able to let go of his suspended heart.
