Yun Chaomu called out his name.

Si Xi, who was standing by, opened his mouth wide, wanting to speak but not daring to.

At this time, the man lying on the ground choked and coughed, then slowly sat up. He didn't even look at Yun Chaomu. He just wiped his face, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then got up from the ground. His eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without any emotion fluctuations.

Yun Chaomu almost cried. Seeing Chu Ling staggering to his feet and about to leave, she grabbed his arm in a hurry, "Chu Ling."

"Go away!"

The next moment, Chu Ling shook off Yun Chaomu's hand with disgust on his face. Without even looking at her, he started walking away. But as he took a step forward, Yun Chaomu seemed to be slapped in the face by someone. His legs started to limp and he became a cripple.

Yun Chaomu covered his mouth all of a sudden, and the tears that he had been holding back for so long finally fell.

Her younger brother, the younger brother who grew up with her and Xiao Zhan, the boy who always called her 'Sister Yun', has become like this.

How did that happen?

"What happened to your leg? Who hurt your leg? Chu Ling, who hurt you like this?"

She could no longer control herself, rushed forward, grabbed his sleeve, and asked excitedly with sobs.

She couldn't believe that the miserable and leg-broken man in front of her was Chu Ling. In her impression, he was dressed in fine clothes and rode a horse, full of vigor and vitality. He was righteous and loyal, sunny and unrestrained, riding a horse through Chang'an Street, loved to stand up for the weak and help others. He said that his biggest dream was to go to the battlefield, kill enemies and become a general, but now he has become like this.

Yun Chaomu thought he could control his emotions and hide his hatred deep in his heart, but after seeing Chu Ling's miserable appearance, he collapsed instantly.

The sudden outburst of emotion made Chu Ling stunned for a moment, but he had no expression, just a gloomy and swollen face. He stared at Yun Chaomu with his peach blossom eyes for a long time, as if he was looking at a madman. The next moment, he sneered and said, "Meng Qingge, what tricks are you playing again?"

The sound of Meng Qingge brought Yun Chaomu back to his senses.

Yes, she is Meng Qingge now, not Yun Chaomu, not his sister Yun.

She suppressed the emotions in her heart and said in a hoarse voice, "Chu Ling, do you know me?"

"laugh……"

But Chu Ling sneered and looked at her mockingly, "Meng Qingge, no matter what you want to do, stay away from me! Get out of the way, don't block the way!"

Chu Ling said coldly, walked past Yun Chaomu and walked forward without looking back.

"Chu..."

"Miss."

Yun Chaomu wanted to chase after her, but Chu Ling just glanced at her with disgust and stopped where she was.

Si Xi tugged at Yun Chaomu's sleeve in a low voice, "Miss, why are you here to provoke Chu Ling again? Did you come to Donghou Street just to find him?"

Yun Chaomu was still staring at Chu Ling's back. When she heard Si Xi's words, she was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did I know Chu Ling before?"

Si Xi paused for a moment, then she remembered that the young lady had temporary amnesia. She remembered some things but not others, so she asked, "How come you don't know him? Young lady, you not only scolded him harshly before, but also had him beaten, saying that he was a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, and called him a cripple..."

"me?"

Yun Chaomu opened his eyes wide in shock.

Si Xi nodded solemnly, "It was indeed you, young lady. You bullied me at that time... No, when you had a conflict with Master Chu, I was right beside you."

"why?"

The clouds asked morning and evening.

She didn't understand and felt heartbroken. Four years had passed since she died and lived again. She didn't know what Chu Ling had experienced in these four years, nor did she know how much humiliation he had suffered. Was she, Meng Qingge, responsible for this?

"He came to our house to talk to the Marquis before, about a year ago, when you first found him. It seemed that he wanted to ask for marriage... Then you found out about this, and you were very angry and went to cause trouble for Master Chu."

Four Joys.

Yun Chaomu seemed to be nailed to the spot, as if he had heard some Arabian Nights fairy tale, a proposal of marriage?

If the Chu family had been demoted and left with nothing a year and a half ago, how could they have gone to the Meng family to ask for marriage for their newly found daughter? It was impossible to think about it.

Yun Chaomu had a hunch that there must be something fishy going on.

"Do you know how Chu Ling's leg became lame? And his face..."

Thinking of Chu Ling's current appearance, Yun Chaomu felt heartbroken.

Si Xi shook her head. "Miss, I am just a maid. Before I served you, I was just a farm girl. How could I be exposed to these things? But I remember that when he came to the Marquis' Mansion more than a year ago, his leg was not yet lame, but the scar on his face was already there at that time. I don't know what he has been through in the past two years. I guess he has not been doing well."

Four Joys.

Yun Chaomu felt extremely upset. How could anyone else know about Chu Ling’s affairs except for him?

"Let's follow."

Yun Chaomu said, she had already started chasing after him. At this time, she could no longer see Chu Ling, but she knew where the Chu family was.

The alley is dark and damp, and there is no sunlight all year round.

When Yun Chaomu stood in front of the dilapidated house, he stood there for a long time without moving.

It was an ordinary brick farmhouse with a mud floor at the door and damp moss growing on the walls. You could smell a strong medicinal smell just by standing at the door.

This kind of living place is not as good as the courtyard in Prince Jing’s mansion before.

With red eyes, she walked towards the wooden door and pushed it open with a creak. Everything in the yard was in sight, dilapidated and simple.

In the corner, Chu Ling was taking off his shirt. There were two basins of water in front of him, and he seemed to be preparing to wash.

"Meng Qingge, are you sick?"

Chu Ling obviously didn't expect Yun Chaomu to push the door open and walk in, and he immediately scolded him angrily. Yun Chaomu turned his back the first time he saw Chu Ling's back, but what lingered in his mind was Chu Ling's scarred back. The layers of scars showed what kind of hardships he had suffered.

"Who asked you to come? Get out!"

At this time, Chu Ling had already put on his coat. With a gloomy face, he walked in front of Yun Chaomu and Sixi and spoke with disgust.

Yun Chaomu's lips moved. She had a lot to say but didn't know where to start. She was also afraid that tears would fall as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Chu Ling, I have something to talk to you about."

Yun Chaomu spoke hurriedly. After not seeing each other for four years, Chu Ling's temper became so strange and gloomy that even she couldn't figure it out.

"I have nothing to say to you, Meng Qingge, please go out."

Chu Ling said in a cold voice, his purple face expressionless, his peach blossom eyes filled with endless darkness.

"Si Xi, go out and buy some things for me, gauze, medicinal wine, silver needles, and herbs for harmonizing blood and removing blood stasis."

Yun Chaomu didn't look at Chu Ling, but turned to give instructions to Si Xi, and handed him a silver note.

Si Xi was unwilling at first. She didn't want to leave the young lady, especially since Mr. Chu's attitude looked so scary. She was afraid that the young lady would suffer, but she didn't dare to disobey the young lady.

"Then the servant will be back soon."

Four Joys.

Suddenly, Yun Chaomu and Chu Ling were the only ones left in the yard.

The house was always quiet, obviously no one was at home.

"Chu Ling, how did you get the injuries on your legs and face?"
