Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 203: Has a Story

Soon, the two of them found a lake. It seemed to have never been polluted by the environment, the lake was very clear, and under the moonlight, you could even see the pebbles at the bottom. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"I’ll keep watch on the side, you wash first." Lu Zechuan said, turning his back.

Xia Mian glanced around, feeling rather shy, she cast a Concealing Talisman around her before undressing and getting into the water.

The lake water was very cold, although the environment here was like spring all year round, diving into the water in the middle of the night was definitely a bone-chilling experience.

With his back to the lake, Lu Zechuan listened to the subtle sounds of water behind him, and his mind involuntarily filled in many images, causing his face to redden.

...

When the two of them finished bathing, dawn was breaking, and the east was showing the first signs of light.

Lu Zechuan carefully helped Xia Mian dry her hair, and then they returned to their residence.

When they returned to the residence, Ling Fei and Wei Wei were busy preparing breakfast.

Seeing the two return, Wei Wei greeted them, "Young Master, Miss Xia, good morning!"

She did not ask where they had gone the previous night or what they had done.

Xia Mian smiled slightly at Wei Wei, "Morning!"

"Oh right, Miss Xia, your mother has woken up!" Ling Fei scratched his head, "Just now, I heard some noise from that room, so I went to take a look."

"My wife and I are just making her porridge to eat." Ling Fei said with a smile, without mentioning anything about Lu Zechuan taking up the banner of the Wood Clan.

Xia Mian’s eyes showed a hint of joy, "She’s awake?"

As she spoke, Xia Mian quickly walked towards that room.

Opening the door, she indeed saw Song Juan awake, leaning half-sitting on the headboard in a daze.

Song Juan’s gaze was somewhat vacant, and her expression a bit tired. Hearing the door, she slowly turned her head.

The moment she saw Xia Mian, light instantly returned to Song Juan’s eyes, "Mianmian!"

Waking up to find herself in a completely unfamiliar place, surrounded by unfamiliar people, Song Juan was panic-stricken. Now seeing Xia Mian, she finally had something to anchor her.

"Mom, it’s me." Xia Mian went over and hugged Song Juan, "I’m here."

With just these two words, Song Juan felt at ease.

"I’ve worried you again." Song Juan lowered her head in guilt, "I’m just a burden."

She was before, and she is now. Previously a burden to that man, and now a burden to her daughter.

"Mom, what are you saying!" Xia Mian scolded gently, "You’re the most important person to me, how could you be a burden!"

Song Juan smiled softly, saying nothing more.

This unexpected journey here brought back some memories and some people to Song Juan.

For instance, Xia Zhun.

The man favored by the heavens.

"Mianmian, I’m okay now, can we go home?" Song Juan looked at Xia Mian, her eyes showing a bit of unease and fear.

Staying here, Song Juan always felt unsettled, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Now?" Xia Mian slightly raised an eyebrow, "Your body is still very weak, not suitable for travel."

Even if they leave, it must wait until Song Juan’s body has recovered a bit more.

Song Juan held Xia Mian’s arm tightly, "Mianmian, I don’t feel at ease living here, Mianmian, please take me away from here?"

Ever since the mysterious woman brought her here last night, Song Juan had been feeling uneasy, like having fifteen buckets swinging erratically in her heart.

"Mom, with me here, you have nothing to fear." Xia Mian gently patted Song Juan’s back, "Relax, don’t overthink."

Xia Mian soothed softly.

Song Juan had just gone through these incredible events, it was normal to feel fear and anxiety.

However, given Song Juan’s current physical condition, it’s indeed not suitable to leave immediately.

Under Xia Mian’s reassurance, Song Juan’s mood gradually calmed down.

Wei Wei appeared at the door holding a bowl of steaming hot porridge, "Miss Xia, the porridge is ready, let this lady have some?"

Xia Mian took the porridge bowl from Wei Wei and smiled gratefully at her, "Thank you."

Wei Wei smiled and said nothing more, just turned to look at Lu Zechuan, "Young Master, won’t you come out and have something to eat?"

Last night, the Young Master hadn’t eaten much!

Though the Young Master had activated his superpower, he was still flesh and blood. How could he bear it without eating?

Lu Zechuan nodded lightly, "You may leave now."

Wei Wei nodded lightly and withdrew.

Even if the Young Master was unwilling to continue bearing the Wood Clan’s burden, he was still the Young Master.

The respect due to the Young Master, they wouldn’t give any less.

"Mom, have some food." Xia Mian placed the bowl on the table and helped Song Juan sit by it.

After a night of unconsciousness and no food or drink, Song Juan was feeling quite hungry. Even just a bowl of plain porridge in front of her piqued her appetite.

She picked up the spoon and slowly drank the porridge.

With a bowl of steaming hot porridge down the throat, Song Juan finally felt a bit of warmth.

"Mom, we might have to stay here for another couple of days. Once your health improves a bit, I’ll take you home immediately." Xia Mian softened her voice to comfort.

Song Juan smiled and replied with an "Mm," "I’ll listen to you."

Xia Mian had her plans, she couldn’t be troublesome for Xia Mian just because of her own whims.

Xia Mian helped Song Juan lie down again before leaving with Lu Zechuan.

Ling Fei saw them coming out and immediately greeted them with a smile, "Young Master, would you like to eat something?"

This time, Lu Zechuan did not refuse Ling Fei’s goodwill.

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan sat across from each other and had a light breakfast. Then, they saw Xia Weizhang and Ding Cheng coming in from outside with grim faces.

Ding Cheng walked in front, Xia Weizhang behind, keeping some distance, both with cold expressions, not speaking a word.

Once inside the courtyard, Ding Cheng stood silently behind Xia Mian as if Xia Weizhang was some kind of monstrous beast.

Xia Mian glanced at Ding Cheng, "I’ve found my mom, it’s time to settle our matters."

Ding Cheng wasn’t surprised at all by Xia Mian’s words, "What do you want?"

"You wanted my mom’s life, and I’ve spared yours until now, this night is your gain!" Xia Mian’s eyes narrowed dangerously, her gaze on Ding Cheng was icy and deep.

Ding Cheng shrugged it off with a nonchalant smile, "If you want my life, take it!"

After all, from birth till now, she had always been the one rejected and abandoned.

Xia Mian’s gaze swept over Ding Cheng’s alluring face, then her fingers moved lightly, her fingertips glowing, forming a talisman spell.

Just as Xia Mian was about to throw the talisman at Ding Cheng, Xia Weizhang suddenly spoke, "Cousin, please wait!"

Xia Mian turned her head, looking at him with a half-smile, "Oh?"

"Cousin, Ding Cheng is a bounty hunter, doing things for money. The one who wants to harm your mom is Xia Weiyang. If you really want to vent for your mom, you should find Xia Weiyang..." Xia Weizhang said, without even glancing at Ding Cheng.

Xia Mian squinted slightly, oh, did something happen between the two of them when they went out last night?

Xia Weizhang was actually defending Ding Cheng!
