Chapter 287: Chapter 286 Her Wounds

When the door was pushed open, Chu Huaiyu had already lain down on the bed.

"Ah! Who’s there?" She exclaimed softly, immediately grabbing the blanket to protect her body.

"Huaiyu, don’t be afraid, it’s me... and Miss Lili."

Han Zhan, afraid of scaring her, hastily stated, "We mean no harm!"

"Breaking into a room in the middle of the night and you say you mean no harm?" Chu Qianli sneered, walking in.

Only then did Chu Huaiyu get out of bed and fumbled around to light the candle.

Raising her head and seeing herself dressed so thinly, she said angrily, "Sister Five, what do you mean by this?"

Han Zhan still stood at the door.

How could he enter a young lady’s bedroom at this hour?

"Chu Qianli, I’ve said it can’t possibly be Huaiyu, let’s go!"

He turned his face away, not even daring to cast a glance inside.

"How can you be sure without looking?" Chu Qianli walked up to Chu Huaiyu.

Even though her words were laced with laughter, she was still on guard every moment.

That female ghost’s martial arts were just too formidable.

If it really was Chu Huaiyu, a single misstep could likely end in death at her hands.

Chu Huaiyu looked terrified and asked urgently, "Han Zhan, what on earth is going on? Why are you with Sister Five at this late hour? You... you..."

She almost burst into tears, "What on earth have you done?"

Han Zhan hurriedly explained, "We haven’t done anything, Huaiyu, don’t misunderstand."

"Then what do you mean by this now?"

"He suspects that you are the assassin who tried to kill me tonight," Chu Qianli huffed.

Han Zhan shouted, "I did not suspect at all!"

Chu Qianli ignored her, only staring at Chu Huaiyu with a chilling expression.

"Tonight an assassin attempted to assassinate me, and I wounded her chest. Chu Huaiyu, if you want to prove your innocence, now, let me see your chest."

"You... what nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Huaiyu immediately clutched her clothes, her tears nearly welling up.

"How can you be so malicious! How can a woman’s chest be exposed so casually?"

"If you’re not tonight’s assassin, what are you afraid of me seeing?"

"Chu Qianli, don’t go too far!" Chu Huaiyu’s tears rolled down as she hoarsely said, "You are too much!"

Even Han Zhan didn’t feel good about it.

Chu Qianli, that really was too much.

"Chu Qianli, will you leave or not? If you do not, then I’ll be the one to leave!" he shouted angrily.

"Are you not looking because you’re afraid she really might be?"

"I cannot look!" He was a man, how could he look at a young lady in such a manner?

"Have you really never looked?" Chu Qianli sneered coldly, her gaze suddenly becoming serious, "If you won’t look, then I will!"

In a fleeting moment, Chu Qianli suddenly stepped forward and reached for Chu Huaiyu’s clothing.

A smile lurked in her eyes.

Chu Huaiyu wanted to fight back, but Chu Qianli laughed and said, "Miss Huaiyu, you wouldn’t be implying you’re knowledgeable in martial arts, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaiyu immediately withdrew her raised hand.

Just a moment’s hesitation, and Chu Qianli had already grabbed her clothes, pulling them forcefully.

"Ah!" Chu Huaiyu screamed.

As her clothing was torn down, a wound was indeed visible on the snow-white skin of her chest.

"Your wound..." Chu Qianli was taken aback.

Han Zhan couldn’t resist his curiosity and took a look.

That glance was seen clearly by Chu Huaiyu; even he harbored a sliver of doubt about her!

If there were no doubts, Han Zhan would not have looked.

He believed Chu Qianli!

The anger in Chu Huaiyu’s eyes was but a fleeting moment; by the time Han Zhan realized and averted his gaze, only resentment remained in her eyes.

"Let go of me!" Chu Huaiyu started crying.

But Chu Qianli squinted her eyes, not only did she not let go, but she also moved closer.

"Ah! Let me go!" Miss Huaiyu pleaded softly, "Let go of me, don’t let others see, I beg you, I beg you, Fifth Sister, woo woo..."

"Did you use Corrosive Powder?" This wound, of course, is not a knife wound!

This woman had realized this point early on and treated her wound with Corrosive Powder.

Now completely rotten, but her powder was so potent that it looked nothing like a new wound.

It seemed more like a scar from an old burn injury!

The area wasn’t large, but it still looked extremely ugly.

To cover up her own knife wound, Miss Huaiyu even resorted to such extreme measures against herself!

Such ruthlessness, how was it trained? It certainly wasn’t something an ordinary person could achieve!

"Let go of me..."

"Chu Qianli, you’ve gone too far!"

Huaiyu’s crying made Han Zhan very irritable.

He didn’t know why, but it wasn’t out of sympathy or discomfort, just irritation.

He had not expected Chu Qianli to go this far!

Han Zhan still didn’t look carefully. Taking a step forward, as Chu Qianli was about to strip Miss Huaiyu of her clothes, he grasped her wrist and yanked her out.

"Look carefully, her injury is fresh, if you look closely you can see the marks of a new wound!"

"Chu Qianli!"

"Han Zhan, have you forgotten about my injury?"

Miss Huaiyu slowly, pulled up her clothes, looking at Han Zhan’s retreating figure.

Han Zhan, with his back to her, dared not look at the young maiden’s body.

But he also firmly held onto Chu Qianli’s wrist, not allowing her to go any further and bully Miss Huaiyu.

Miss Huaiyu took a step forward, gave Chu Qianli a faint glance, then looked again at Han Zhan’s tall figure.

"Do you not remember the great fire from ten years ago?"

Han Zhan’s frame shuddered violently.

How could he forget!

Back then, he had nearly died in that inferno!

"My injuries were incurred at that time, while I was trying to save you."

"Those are burn scars, so why have they become fresh wounds in Fifth Sister’s mouth?"

She cried, tears falling like pear blossoms in the rain: "Every day I have to cover it with rouge. I don’t even want to confront my own mutilated body, so why must you all be so cruel?"

So, she had been covering it with rouge every day...

Han Zhan’s last bit of doubt completely disappeared.

Because long ago, Miss Huaiyu had undressed in front of him.

Although he had not looked, at that moment, unprepared, he had still glimpsed it inadvertently.

Back then, it seemed there were no wounds visible.

So it wasn’t that there were no wounds, but that she had concealed them herself.

He realized that in her attempt to save him, she had sacrificed so much...

Han Zhan’s heart filled with guilt in an instant.

As Chu Qianli was about to move toward her again, his expression suddenly darkened, and he yanked her away forcefully: "Go!"

Chu Qianli was abruptly pulled out by him.

The moment the door closed, Miss Huaiyu’s face changed color in an instant.

Damn Han Zhan, he had really doubted her just now!

Otherwise, with his temperament, he would never have come here with Chu Qianli.

He also wanted to see if she had a knife wound on her chest, didn’t he?

All because of that wretch Chu Qianli!

Miss Huaiyu clenched her fists, a murderous intent in her eyes.

Why did her master forbid her from killing her? Why should she?

No! She refused to accept her fate! She refused to be a killer who was only used by others!

She was Miss Huaiyu, her mother was Long Qianyue, she was the noble daughter of the Duke Residence!

Whoever stood in her way would die!
