The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 32: Ah Zhen, I’m Begging You

At this moment, Xie Yunzhen’s eyes were filled with Ji Mingzhu.

It seemed like he was making things difficult for others, but that itself was peculiar.

Everyone said he was a cold-faced Yama, too aloof to be approachable.

If that were the case, how could he be entangled with a girl so unclearly?

The only possibility was that Ji Mingzhu held a special place in his heart.

He just hadn’t realized it yet.

Du Peilan was thoroughly panicked.

The only thought in her mind was to separate them and forbid them from having any more contact.

Even looking for trouble with Ji Mingzhu was out of the question.

Her tone urgent, she said, "Ah Zhen, let go of Miss Ji, don’t hurt the girl’s reputation for my sake."

Xie Yunzhen’s eyes could only hold Ji Mingzhu, and he couldn’t hear anything else.

Her eyes were red, clearly about to cry, so why couldn’t she just give in a little?

He didn’t ask Ji Mingzhu to apologize to Du Peilan.

Just to say a few nice words.

Why wasn’t she willing to show him a pleasant face?

Du Peilan reached out to pull Xie Yunzhen, "I’m really fine, don’t make things difficult for Miss Ji."

Xie Yunzhen instinctively waved his hand, sounding annoyed, "Get lost!"

They were all standing on the staircase.

Du Peilan, not standing firmly, screamed and fell down the stairs.

The scene turned chaotic, and the Shopkeeper had to send the customers out.

Apologizing as he did so, he handed out red tickets, offering discounts for the next visit.

Usually, people who were struggling financially wouldn’t visit a jewelry store, so there weren’t many customers in the shop, and the Shopkeeper quickly dealt with them.

Du Peilan lay on the ground, dazed and unable to regain her senses for a long time.

Mei Xiang collapsed beside her, crying, "Madam, are you hurt anywhere?"

Du Peilan didn’t respond, and tears rolled down her face in large drops.

How could Ah Zhen use such a word to insult her?

How could he push her down the stairs?

The embarrassment and heartache surged, and Du Peilan’s tears were like a broken string of pearls, endlessly flowing.

Xie Yunzhen turned around, slightly frowning.

He just wanted Du Peilan to stay away from him and didn’t expect her to fall down the stairs.

After all, she was his mentor’s daughter, and there were past ties, so Xie Yunzhen could only temporarily let go of Ji Mingzhu’s hand.

He walked downstairs, "Can you still get up?"

Du Peilan was crying like a rain-soaked pear blossom, shaking her head, "Ah Zhen, it hurts..."

Xie Yunling shuddered, her goosebumps rising.

She clung to Ji Mingzhu’s arm, mimicking softly, "Ah Zhen, it hurts~"

Xie Yunzhen’s piercing gaze came over, frightening Xie Yunling into hiding behind Ji Mingzhu.

He cast a meaningful look at the two of them and directed Tianshui to go to the medical hall to fetch a doctor.

Suddenly thinking of how Ji Mingzhu had urged them to see an ophthalmologist at the medical hall, Xie Yunzhen felt odd.

This person really was a jinx!

The incident happened suddenly, leaving Ji Mingzhu feeling neither up nor down, a mix of emotions like eating half-cooked rice.

She exhaled softly, wanting to leave with Xie Yunling, but with Du Peilan lying at the bottom of the stairs, they couldn’t leave.

So they just stood above, looking down at Du Peilan.

She seemed injured, one leg bent unnaturally, and it didn’t look like she was pretending.

Ji Mingzhu’s face was expressionless, devoid of sympathy for Du Peilan.

This person repeatedly instigated trouble, causing her to be entangled with Xie Yunzhen; it was generous of her not to kick someone when they’re down.

Xie Yunzhen crouched down, intending to check Du Peilan’s bones.

Just as he was about to reach out, he realized that men and women shouldn’t touch, and it was inappropriate for him to do so.

Clearing his throat, he said, "The doctor should be here soon, hang in there."

Du Peilan felt even more saddened.

When Ji Mingzhu was injured before, Ah Zhen had gone into the carriage to check her wounds.

Why was it that today, when it was her turn, Ah Zhen just told her to endure?

Could it be that in his heart, Ji Mingzhu had already become more important than her?

They had shared a childhood friendship, years of feelings, and yet they couldn’t compare to a few days with Ji Mingzhu.

How was she supposed to accept this?

This time returning to the capital, Du Peilan’s goal was to solidify her relationship with Xie Yunzhen.

She absolutely would not allow Ji Mingzhu to take him away!

As they say, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first, Ji Mingzhu lived in the Duke Mansion, making it easy for her to see Ah Zhen.

She had to find a way to deepen her connection with Ah Zhen.

Otherwise, Ji Mingzhu would truly take him away.

Du Peilan forced herself to calm down, her mind racing before she thought of someone.

Previously, when Ji Mingzhu had been unconscious, it was Xi Yu who treated her.

Xi Yu was a friend of Ah Zhen’s, and rumored to meet with him every few days.

If she asked Xi Yu for help with her injury, it would be easier to see Ah Zhen in the coming days.

Having lived for over twenty years, Du Peilan finally saw things clearly.

Men liked young, beautiful women and enjoyed being depended on and admired by them.

Now that she was no longer young, she had only the path of showing weakness to take.

As long as Ah Zhen still cared for her, things would get smoother and smoother.

Having figured it out, Du Peilan’s tears flowed even more fiercely, "Ah Zhen, I don’t want to be a cripple."

Seeing her tears, a flash of impatience crossed Xie Yunzhen’s eyes.

In a hard voice, he said, "The doctor will heal you."

Du Peilan hesitated, "Are you sure the doctor at the medical hall has reliable skills?"

Xie Yunling rolled her eyes, "Last time you even took Sister Mingzhu’s doctor, who was also from the street-side medical hall, and today you’re able to go out, which proves that the person indeed healed you. If you’re unsure, you can ask someone to fetch an imperial physician."

Seeing Du Peilan’s embarrassed state, Xie Yunling felt extremely pleased.

This is karma for stealing her doctor!

She gloated, "Today’s injury is yours alone, don’t worry, no one will fight you for the doctor."

Xie Yunzhen gave her a look, "You don’t learn the good things, only the sharp-tongued behavior."

Though the words were directed at Xie Yunling, his side glance fell on Ji Mingzhu.

She didn’t know what she was thinking, lowering her eyes, no longer looking their way.

Xie Yunzhen felt extremely frustrated.

But he couldn’t find the source, so he had no way to vent.

Seeing that Xie Yunzhen’s attention was once again drawn to Ji Mingzhu, Du Peilan was filled with hatred.

No wonder Xiao Feixue disliked beautiful women.

Now she truly understood what that felt like.

Putting aside all the concerns, Du Peilan pleaded, "For the sake of our past relationship, can you ask the Divine Doctor Xi Yu to treat my leg?"

"Ah Zhen, I’m begging you..."

Du Peilan falling down the stairs was partly Xie Yunzhen’s responsibility.

And since she mentioned their past relationship, refusing would seem heartless.

When the doctor arrived and fixed Du Peilan’s broken leg, Xie Yunzhen instructed Mei Xiang to take Du Peilan to the carriage.

"Out of town."

Du Peilan felt overjoyed; Ah Zhen hadn’t abandoned her.

She knew there was a turnaround still possible!

Ji Mingzhu watched coldly, thinking she could finally leave.

But unexpectedly, Xie Yunzhen quickly returned, grabbing her wrist.

"You’re partly responsible for this, come along!"
