The whole way was ultra silent after the duo argued back and forth on Qinghuan's injury.
"I won't put you down."
"let go! "
"....."
"ah! "
Li Yinzhi knocked Qinghuan out since she seemed more stubborn for her own good. It was not like he enjoyed carrying her but if he let her walk on her own ,then they might spend the whole night walking to the nearest town.
It was already dark when they reached and as Qinghuan had guessed Li Yinzhi got her a cart to lead her to her family mansion.
How did he know her place it was all due to the jade pendant with the Qing family sign he was able to tell that she was among the officials daughters.
******
Qing family mansion.
*****
Slash! slash!
Colliding mental were hard from inside the Household of the Qing family as the guards fought with the soldiers that came along with the General Lin Yanrou.
This went on as the Soldiers suppressed the mansion guards... till everyone was dead that lived in the house hold.
"Sire, we have not found her! "announced a solider as he knelt on his right knee and his arms held out slightly nearer to his chest. He reported to the man who wore a black hanfu with no protectors like the other soldiers had. His long black hair half tied into a braid as the half hang to his waist. This eyebrows thick and arched to make his sloe grey eyes look sharper.
"Search again! "came his cold deep voice. His command never sounded to high or to low. It just contained that strong sense of power that one was obliged to obey.
The solider who came to report ran away in fright since he couldn't bare the latter's dommeneering aura.
'.....'
****
"woahhh! "the cart driver yelled as he forced the horses to stop in front if the luxurious mansion which made Qinghuan who was unconscious fall from the seat and rolling out of the curt.
"Huh, I thought she was unconscious how did she reach out....is she drank. "the driver asked as he noticed the lady lying out of floor.
"Whatever, I better keep going. " the man released the reins and his cart fled away.
Mean while inside the mansion it was chores for the soldiers it has been hours since they have been searching and researching the mansion for any trace of the young miss of the household unknown to the them the star of the day was outside as it was unknown to her or maybe had just not confirmed that to day it's when.... she meets the person she resents the most both fictionally and originally.
Flip! flap! flip! flap
The noises in her head got louder per second, half conscious as she gainted towards the huge doors leading to the household interior.
With all her let's mighty she pushed the heavy doors open as she slowly opened her eyes to look at the person in the center of the yard.
'LIN YANROU! ' she gasped mentally when her eyes met the man who was looking at her with cold eyes. His dark themed outfit did nothing to hide his charm even in the lazy glow of the moon.
Her eyes traveled to see the surroundings and the mind froze when she saw deadbodies of both her must be parents. The maid from earlier was lying next to a middle aged lady in an expensive looking attire she supposed to be her step mother. Besides the lady was a Older man in a generous grey and gold hanfu who had a few grey hair on his head. She supposed him to be her father.
Since it was stage time her body found it self before the oldman and with trembling hands she reached to check on the man wheather he was still breathing.
'Haa the author really did was time explain the whole thing. 'Qinghuan roles her eyes at the things they body did since it was how the novel was described.
Her eyes roamed around the man's body to see a deep wound on his abdomen, her tiny hands reached out to stop the bleeding but it seemed to be of no help.
"f_f_father...am here__am sorry I delayed, __i _i" Qinghuan whined as she her the fictional fathers hand that was already cold.
'Even in the fictional word I don't have to be with parents... Lin Yanrou, why do you even have to be everywhere? 'she lamented mentally when his deep calm voice reasoned in her ears.
"stop that, he is dead already! "
"You! "Qinghuan hissed looking at Lin Yanrou who was nearer to her.
Her blood shot eyes landed on the sword that was beside her fictional fathers body.
'Oh, no I totally forgot that Qinghuan tried to murder Lin Yanrou that's why she ended up being slapped by him. Oh no! what do I do. ' Qinghuan was hit by the sudden backlash of the memory of this part in the novel. She personally hated Lin Yanrou because he acted on whim. And another reason was because he was the name sake of the person who hindered her chances of becoming an A-list actress sooner.
But the scene that made her hate Lin Yanrou more was this scene where he was stabbed by Qinghuan and he slapped her to unconsciousness. Her as a person despised people who hit women but worst of all she hated being slapped that was her greatest fear that's why if her roles she had to act in had such scenes she would face toothaches so as the director could set cameras and not film the real scene as sometimes vicious actors would use such opportunities to physically hurt others in the name of the director and an excuse 'it has to be real. '
Feeling her had stretch forward she snapped out of her thoughts when she realized she was lifting the heavy blade to Lin Yanrou's chest.
'What do I do?' she cried mentally.
Unfortunately to her unlike the transmigration novels she read. Her life seemed pretty hard as there was off stage where she does what she wants and on stage where her body moves at its own accord.
Lin Yanrou stayed still not bothering to dodge the attack she was to get from Qinghuan.
!!!!!
The next moment the blade was in Lin Yanrou's chest.
His eyes went colder and Qinghuan could feel her mind go numb.
'Am done for I am going to get slapped, waaa,uuuu!' she cried mentally and unknown to her her expression was that of someone scared. Lin Yanrou who had raised his hand to slap the hell out of her halted as he got confused on why her brave and wronged expression turned to that of someone scared and nervous.
"My lord !"called Suyian a female commander the novel's villainess ."Arrest her!" she ordered and pushed Qinghuan from Lin Yanrou before pulling out the blade from his chest.
Soliders surrounded Qinghuan as two held their swords onto her neck closely causing small cuts that didn't go unnoticed by Lin Yanrou who snapped at them.
"Who gave you the right to interfere? " he asked glaring at Suyian "Drop your weapons !" followed the command.
"...bu.. but she was... "Suyian felt wronged by Lin Yanrou's actions but stopped her tantrums when she received a death glare from him.
The Soliders dropped the swords from Qinghuan's neck before stepping backwards.
Qinghuan who was scared that instead of a slap she will be headed opened her teary eyes.
When she had a tapping sound and then she noticed the floating broken vases ,a few swords and blood droplets hang in the air.
'Is it off stage now to confirm I have to do something. ' she pondered as her eyes roamed around looking for Lin Yanrou.
'His name sake looks like him as well. ' she sighed.
Lin Yanrou watched Qinghuan closely as she could read her face expressions perfectly, she seemed to be nologer sad or disheartened like earlier instead looked like she was planning on her next move.
His eyes narrowed at her and before he knew it his eyes flew wide open at her sudden question.
"
Are you okay?" she asked as she was now a fingers distance away from him.
Lin Yanrou's surprised expression turned extremely gloomy at the end of her question.
'If you care so much why did you... '
He wasn't able to complete his thoughts when her soft voice rang in his ears.
"I didn't mean it, I acted according to my feelings I.... I " Qinghuan though wasn't an A-list actress her acting skills were perfect if he didn't slap her and did defend her when her head was to be gone. One thing was for sure or so she thought.
He had fallen for her beauty. Why?! Its because she thinks that her charm added on this fictional Qinghuan's beauty no woman would rival her. Unknown to her that she looks the same as her original self.
