Chapter 91 of Volume One: Disposal

  On such a night, after Lu Yue reminded them, the guards took turns keeping watch. If it wasn't for the fact that dawn was approaching and they couldn't hold on any longer, the person on duty would have fallen asleep, and so many things wouldn't have happened.

  As a result, the warning bell rang out and the guards immediately woke up. Not only them, but also the young men and women in each tent, screamed and rushed to put on their clothes, and became a mess.

  Lu Xuan walked to one side, slowly lit the candle and then casually waved the lighter to extinguish it. Then he turned his head, looking towards the tent in the Chen family's camp, the only one that was still dark at this time.

  All around were running guards, Lu Xuan stood quietly at the door, quietly waiting for that scene.

  As expected, in a short while, several maids who originally served Chen Yan but were driven away by her halfway came rushing to her account in a panic. Behind the maids, there was also Chen Shu, who was running with one hand holding his waistband, and he hastily asked: "What happened?" In a twinkling, he thought of his beloved sister and called out again: "Why hasn't Ah Yan gotten up yet?"

  As he spoke, he also walked towards Chen Yan's tent.

  Chen Shu had just walked out of the tent when the maids who had run into Chen Yan's tent called out twice at the door, and one of them turned around to light the candles.

  The candlelight flickered, and the maid had not yet turned around when she suddenly stood in front of Chen Yan, just as several maids were about to call out to her, their shrill cries piercing the night air, echoing far into the distance!

  Something's gone terribly wrong!

  Chen Shu was greatly shocked, and the guards were also shocked. The maid who was lighting the candle turned her head hastily.

  She turned her head and saw an unbelievable scene. She stared blankly, frozen in place. At this time, Chen Shu rushed in with several maids, "What's wrong? What happened?" If he wasn't worried that his sister was still sleeping and afraid she wasn't properly dressed, he wouldn't have waited outside for so long. Now hearing the maids' screams, Chen Shu, who had always been extremely protective of Chen Yan, subconsciously thought something big had happened to his sister and rushed in without care.

  As he rushed in, Chen Shu saw the two white-clad bodies. Since he couldn't see the face of the woman under the robust man's body, Chen Shu subconsciously thought: This definitely isn't Ah Yan, it can't be Ah Yan.

  No one knows better than he does how proud his beautiful sister is. She has told him more than once that in this world, she will only choose the most excellent men.

  So Chen Shu's mind was buzzing. He lost his ability to think, and just walked forward in big strides, just wanting to confirm that the woman was not his sister Chen Yan. In the unspeakable panic, Chen Shu also did not give orders in time, letting the maids guard the camp and not let outsiders come in.

  As Chen Shu took big strides to the other side of the bed, he saw that the woman sleeping naked with the man was indeed his own sister. "Thud thud thud" several footsteps came, and then Chen's round-faced daughter, as well as Xiao Yan who woke up first while still dressed, lifted the curtains and rushed in.

  "What's going on?" Xiao Yan's words were cut off mid-sentence. She was choked with emotion, her eyes wide with fear as she stared at the two naked bodies, white and exposed. The little girl, shocked and frightened, suddenly let out a piercing scream.

  She was seen screaming and rushing out wildly. And her rush attracted even more people to rush into the camp...

  Lu Yu yawned. Following the sound, things were almost over. In a difficult-to-describe silence. The Chen family's faces were pale and white, while Xiao Yan A Ti and other women looked at the direction of the Chen family with disdain, occasionally gathering together to whisper a few words.

  It turned out to be a false alarm, the guards had already taken their positions, and the servants of each family lowered their heads and did their own things quietly. Only the distant sound of horses neighing dotted the gradually brightening sky.

  Seeing Lu Xuan approach, Ati feared that she would ask something she shouldn't, and hastily pulled her along with Xiao Yan towards their own tent.

  When they arrived at Ati's tent, several other girls who had come with them also arrived. Everyone sat down, looking at each other for a while, and Ati suddenly burst out laughing. But in an instant, she realized it was inappropriate, covered her mouth, put away her smile and said in a low voice: "I don't know if they're awake or not?"

  Xiao Yan participated from start to finish and replied: "Should have woken up. Splashed cold water at that time."

  After another silence, a nun spoke in a low voice: "What is Chen Yan thinking? Isn't she relying on her beauty to marry into a wealthy family? Why is she still messing around with her own bodyguard?"

  "Who knows?" said Xiao Yan, shaking her head.

  Ati couldn't help but want to laugh again, she narrowed her crescent moon eyes and said: "Hmph, this Chen Yan always puts on a wronged expression, who would have thought that she's actually a slut. Now that things have blown up, I wonder how the Chen family will deal with her?"

  Xiao Yan said in a low voice: "What else can be done? The matter has been blown up so big, the entire Chen family's face has been lost because of her."

  This kind of gossip, women are most fond of. Listening to the faint whispers around her, looking at the various expressions in front of her, unable to tell whether it was sympathy or pity, or schadenfreude, Lu Xuan's lips curved slightly, and she lowered her head to take a sip of wine from her cup.

  At this time, Ati looked at Lu Xuan and smiled: "Lu Xuan, why did you get up so late today? Ah, such a good play, you've missed it all, what a pity."

  Lu Xuan's lips curled up slightly as he smiled when he heard her tone that seemed to wish for chaos in the world.

  Until the sun rises in the east, the team is still in a state of confusion.

  Something big happened, no one was in the mood to sleep, and no one opened their mouth to say they were in a hurry to rush on the road.

  Compared with the buzzing noise on this side, Chen's canopy was surprisingly quiet.

  In a camp tent, Chen Yan sat on the ground with her clothes disheveled and tears streaming down her face.

  Her long fingernails were tightly clasped on the tiger skin beside her, revealing white stripes on the tiger skin.

  Chen Yan, with tears streaming down her face, did not look as pitiful as she usually did, but instead her facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, making her beautiful features twisted and terrifying.

  Before long, footsteps were heard approaching.

  Upon hearing the footsteps, Chen Yan quickly lifted her head up. She retracted the expression on her face and tears rolled down from her eyes.

  The person who came in was indeed Chen Shu.

  Seeing her own brother, Chen Yan burst into tears. She rushed to him and hugged his legs, crying: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, you have to believe me, I didn't do it, I was framed..."

  Contrary to Chen Yan's expectations, Chen Shu nodded and said in a low voice: "I know."

  "You, what did you say? You said you knew?"

  Chen Shu looked at his sister, who was in a sorry state and showing signs of weakness, and said hoarsely: "Yes, I know. Huachang's chest is purple and bruised all over, obviously hit by something long and heavy like a whip or a stick. And the two of you look like you've been drugged with aphrodisiacs. Plus, there's that corner of your tent, and an empty bamboo tube used to hold the aphrodisiac."

  Upon hearing this, Chen Yan was overjoyed and trembled with her voice saying: "Fourth brother, so you've investigated everything clearly. Fourth brother, have you told father about it? Does father believe it?" After speaking in one breath, she called out again: "Fourth brother, quickly explain to everyone, quickly tell them."

  "What did you say?" This time, Chen Shu's voice was a bit weak.

  He stared at his sister and said hoarsely, "At this point, what's the use of saying anything? A Yan, tell me, is it still useful?"

  He looked at his sister, who had always been spoiled by him, as she stepped back, saw her fall to the ground, and closed her eyes. Chen Shu said: "A Yan, so many people have seen you sleeping with Hua Chang..."

  Before he could finish, Chen Yan had already raised her head and shouted in a shrill voice: "Then kill them all!" With a ferocious expression, she clenched her fists and shouted hoarsely: "Fourth brother, you must help me this time. Help me kill them all, not a single one left! Kill them all off!" After a pause, she suddenly remembered something and exclaimed in a shrill voice: "I know who wants to harm me, it's definitely that fallen woman Lu Shi Ayu. Fourth brother, immediately send someone to kill her too."

  At this time, Chen Yan was obviously a bit hysterical. She stared at Chen Shu's eyes, which were incredibly bright, and her twisted face revealed a reckless and resentful look.

  In fact, if she had said something suspicious about Lu Xuan when she was calm, Chen Shu might have heard one or two. But now, she is obviously talking nonsense.

  She opened her mouth and said to kill all those people. This sister of hers was really blinded by anger, she still thought that this was in Jiyang? She thought that the young men and women on that side were all their own servants? She thought that these hundreds of lives were decided by her?

  Although he knew his sister was just talking nonsense when she was angry, Chen Shu still closed his eyes, suddenly feeling a bit tired.

  Take a step back, let yourself and your sister leave some distance. Chen Shu said in a low voice: "A Yan, I've been asking Father just now, he has agreed to send you and Hua Man to our family's villa in Jingyang..."

  Just as he said this, Chen Yan covered her ears and let out a sharp cry.

  Chen Yan screamed non-stop, this was her habit, whenever she didn't want to listen or do something, she would scream in protest. And every time she screamed, many people would give in to her, including Chen Shu.

  However, this time Chen Shu did not persuade her, nor comfort her. He just looked at his sister covering her ears and screaming in protest with a tired expression, waiting for her to compromise and back down. In his heart, he thought: Ah Yan is used to being proud, it's normal that she can't accept it for the time being.

  At this thought, he was still very tired. A Yan is not young anymore, she should know that this matter has been made a big deal of, it can be said that the reputation of the Chen family has been ruined by her.

  According to his father's intention, he would have liked to beat her to death. But instead, he begged for mercy, and since his father had spoiled his sister for so many years, he couldn't bear to part with her. More importantly, the head of the Chen family was his father, not someone else, which is why he decided to send her away rather than put her to death.

  In Chen Shu's view, being able to save his sister's life was already the greatest effort he could make. Even if his sister had to leave, she could only do so quietly to avoid others gossiping. Now, Chen Yan covering her ears and shouting in protest at him made him extremely uncomfortable.
