《Love's Vicissitudes: A Pursuit of Beloved Wife》C21. A Mistress
Advertisement
Yuexin goes to her hurriedly, looking at her with concern, and asks softly, "What's wrong? Are you all right?"
Xu Ziqi seems startled, and quickly wipes away tears, pressing her own head very low, and then quickly stands up with her fingers hiding behind.
She shakes her head eagerly, with a crying voice, "I'm fine, it's just the chicken soup I made for you. I accidentally broke it ..."
As she says, she squats down, trying to pick up the debris on the ground. She doesn’t say a word even if her fingers are cut by it.
Yuexi quickly stops her, picks up her hand and stares at it. There are so many blisters on the back of her hand, which are very red and swollen. The tip of her fingers are also cut, and the blood is all over her hand, which looks scary.
Her first reaction is to call Li Fengjue and talk about it.
"I'm sending her to the doctor now. Come here quickly."
Li Fengjue simply makes out a syllable, "Um."
Holding Xu Ziqi up, Yuexi wants to take her to the doctor to check her wound.
It is at this time that the door suddenly opens.
Xu Linchen rushes in desperately and shouts, "Qiqi?"
Hearing this voice, Xu Ziqi seems surprised, raising her head in doubt, and glancing at him.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Xu Linchen glares at Yuexi, who is standing beside Xu Ziqi.
His facial expression eases a lot when his eyes fall on his sister
He says worriedly, "Cause I am so worried about you."
He takes a step forward, only to notice Xu Ziqi's terrible hands. Then his face immediately becomes gloomy, and his eyes lock on Yuexi.
"What's happened to your hands? Did this vicious woman do this?"

It isn't an inquisitive tone, but just a verdict .
Yuexi feels that the man in front of her is inexplicable. She almost died because of him last time. And he behaves so fiercely even if they just meet each other today.
She says angrily, "Which of your eyes saw me do that? If you are a real man, don't catch at shadows, OK?"
Pulling Xu Ziqi behind him, Xu Linchen looks coldly at Yuexi.
There is a mockery in his smile, "How come a mistress like you has the power to point the fingers at my sister? I know my sis than anyone."
A mistress like her.
This title is really bad. Yuexi has already thought about it. She knows that she is indeed in an awkward position right now.
For the Xu family, she is definitely a mistress who has suddenly shown up.
Even if others say so, these words are really harsh when coming out from Xu Linchen's mouth.
She frowns, and says in a cold voice. "Am I a mistress? Li Fengjue and I are legally-wedded. We have already got a marriage certificate."
She pauses and then says, "Since your sister is right here. You can ask her, did I make all these injuries?"
Xu Ziqi quickly explains with a crying voice, "It is really not her fault. I was too careless."
Xu Linchen frowns, and says fiercely, "Qiqi, don't say something against you just because you're afraid."
Perhaps because of tolerating for a long time, Xu Ziqi presses her head very low, and her voice is as low as a mosquito. One couldn't hear it without careful listening.
"It was me being too careless ..."
Yuexi is getting anxious. Xu Ziqi's weak character and her low and unclear words are likely to mislead people!

Obviously, you can explain everything clearly. Why speak in such a low voice. It seems as if she were really bullied by Yuexi.
Sure enough, seeing his own sister's reaction, Xu Linchen's hatred grows deeper. He looks at Yuexi fiercely, and is about to make a movement.
Xu Ziqi moves a bit, and seems to think of something. She quickly pulls Xu Linchen back.
"Brother, please go quickly. Jue will be here soon."
He is so angry that he shakes off Xu Ziqi's hands, and his eyes turn gloomy. "I was almost deceived by your beautiful appearance. I didn't expect your heart to be so poisonous. My sister is so kind. How can you bear to bully her? "
Hearing this, Yuexi is also very angry, straightening her back and says, "Come on. She already said that it was because of carelessness. It has nothing to do with me!"
When speaking the last sentence, Yuexi does feel a little guilty.
After all, Xu Ziqi got all these injuries for taking care of her. So it does have something to do with her.
Xu Linchen sneers and reaches out to hold Yuexi's arm. “You don’t have the courage to take the blame for what you did.”
She shrinks her hands hard, and says coldly, "Why should I admit something I didn’t do?"
"You ..." Xu Linchen's complexion turns red, and his hand is raising up to hit her.
Yuexi is so frightened that she closes her eyes.
"How dare you!" Li Fengjue's cold voice is coming from her back.
At the same time, Xu Ziqi rushes forward, blocking Yuexi and yelling.
"Brother, no!"
Of course Xu Linchen doesn’t dare to offend Li Feng, and plus that his sister is blocking him. So he immediately takes his hand back.
However, Yuexi does not react when her hands suddenly lose strength. So she is stunned and falls backwards.
In the rush, Yuexi supports the ground with her backhand.
A severe pain makes her groan.
Her hand just happens to press on the broken glass. A sharp and long glass pierces through her hand, which makes the blood gushing out.
Li Fengjue steps forward quickly, anxiously holding up Yuexi's hand, and looks at it carefully.
Yuexi is grinning in pain, feeling like she has lost consciousness with her hand, and then the pain spreads her whole body, which makes her body shiver.
"It's none of my business, it's herself ..."
Xu Linchen does not expect such an accident.
Li Fengjue's wrathful eyes shoot at him. He gets up and punches Xu Linchen in the face.
"You just dug your own grave!"
This punch is so violent that Xu Linchen takes a few steps back. He barely stabilizes himself until he hits the wall.
"Li Fengjue, don't go too far! If I tell my family this thing, do you think they will let you off easily?"
Xu Linchen is so angry, and says with a shudder o his face.
"If you appear in front of her again, don't blame me."
After saying this, Li Fengjue holds up Yuexi and runs toward the emergency department.
Along the way, Nurses look at each other, discussing who the woman in Li Fengjue's arms is.
Yuexi's face is pale and sweaty, and she could feel that the blood is flowing out of her body all the time.
Will she die from blood loss? Looking at the man's resolute face, thinking of his look when he was so angry for her, Yuexi feels very unreal.

Dorothea Atlin is the young, apathetic leader of the neutral territory of Sirpo, a chilly land hovering above the continuously warring factions of Sacer and Ghuria, whose devastating magics have ravaged their people and lands time and time again. Following a shocking attack and a cruel deception, Dorothea grows her conscience and takes up arms, using her self-destructive ability to manipulate the flow of time to ensure Sacer’s victory. Her growing understanding of war and the two factions is guided by Iree Nobelis, the determined and enthralling commander of Sacer’s forces, Ariana Kingfisher, a steely swordswoman of mixed Ghurian and Sacerian descent, and Rhys Tamlin, a kind but haunted soldier who goes to challenge Dorothea’s self-imposed celibacy and join her on a mutual journey of healing from the tragic legacies of the Atlin family and wars between the nations. Meanwhile, Dorothea’s only friend and deserter from the Sacerian military, Shark Olyen, returns to their homeland to face the family that disowned them and finds more than they bargained for in meeting Cerid Creed, a noble whose duty to his people clashes with his desires in romance and in life, much like Shark’s did long before. As their developing or preexisting loves and differing convictions on how to achieve peace create rifts between these major players, Dorothea experiences a personal revolution that leads her to fight for what she believes is right, no matter the cost. A slow-burn story that takes time setting up the psychology and motivations of characters for explosive payoff later down the line.
