Chapter 291: Feeling Grumpy When Waking Up

After hearing this, Su Lanyin didn't know what to say and could only lower her head to give him hot compress.

About an incense stick of time later, the injury on his back had obviously eased a little.

"My Lord, I'll go find some medicine for you to apply externally. You wash first."

After saying that, Su Lanyin left the bathroom with a red face, having already forgotten about the accusation just now.

Fu Wuyang turned around and looked at the figure behind the screen fleeing away, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

I just think this girl is quite cute.

……

Su Lanyin hurried to find Kang Chenxi, but was told that he had just left the house and would not be back until the evening.

She was unfamiliar with the place and it was difficult for her to go out and look for him, so she could only go back to her room and wait.

The servants brought her clean clothes and food, so she cleaned them up and filled her stomach.

After being worried for so many days, she was exhausted. After eating and drinking, she lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.

Su Lanyin quickly got up, changed into clean clothes, then walked out of the room and came to Kang Chenxi's yard.

"It's so early, is there anything wrong, young lady?" the maid Cuiyun asked with a smile.

"I'm looking for your son."

"My lord did not return last night. If you have any urgent matters, please tell me first."

"Will it help to tell you?"

"If it is really urgent, I will naturally arrange for a servant to inform you, sir."

"So you know where he is?"

"Of course I know. My young master never stays in a messy place. If he didn't go back home, he would stay at Miss Muzi's place in Nuanxiang Pavilion."

The corners of Su Lanyin's mouth twitched. How could this mean that she wouldn't stay overnight in a messy place?

What is Nuanxiang Pavilion? To put it bluntly, isn’t it just a red-light district?

She was speechless, but business was more important. Fu Wuyang's injury on his back was serious and he needed the bottle of ointment even more.

As for Kang Chenxi, he can find women, which shows that his waist is fine.

"Then please send someone to look for him. I really have something urgent to discuss with him."

"The young master must be resting at this hour. If the young lady does not tell us what is the matter, we dare not send anyone to disturb her."

"He took something from me that was quite important to me, I have to take it back."

"One thing? This..." Cuiyun was a little embarrassed. "Miss, my master has a quirk. If he is disturbed while sleeping, he will get very angry. If you disturb him just for one thing, I'm afraid..."

Obviously, this was not wanting to help her.

Su Lanyin was not surprised. After all, Cuiyun was just a maid. If she was really punished by her master because of her, she would feel bad.

Thinking of this, she said, "If that's the case, then forget it."

"Miss, are you ready to have breakfast so early? Would you like me to ask the kitchen to give you..."

"Thank you for your concern. I'm not hungry for the moment. I'll take my leave now."

Before Cuiyun could finish her words, Su Lanyin politely declined and turned away.

She changed into men's clothes and tied her long hair into a ponytail. In the mirror, a slender and upright young man appeared.

Without makeup, her eyebrows and eyes were too gentle, lacking some of the masculine heroism, so she deliberately drew her eyebrows thicker to look more like a man.

After going out, he found out the location of Nuanxiang Pavilion and hurriedly went there.

In the early morning, the door of Nuanxiang Pavilion was closed and it looked quiet from the outside, except for some messy footprints at the door and even some traces of drunkenness and vomiting in the corner of the wall.

This shows that this place must have been very lively last night.

She knocked on the door, but received no response. She felt vaguely uneasy, so she knocked again.

"Hey, who is it? Can't you let me sleep so early in the morning? Knock, knock, knock, what are you knocking for?"

A man's rude shouting was heard from inside, and then the door was opened.

He was a bald man with a rough appearance. When he saw Su Lanyin's appearance and clothes, he was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed.

"Hey, sir, what can I do for you? Our Nuanxiang Pavilion is closed in the morning and will only open in the evening."

Su Lanyin coughed twice to clear her throat, then lowered her voice and said, "I'm here to see my master."

"Who is your son?"

"Mr. Kang."

When the man heard this, his face became even more flattering: "Oh, it turns out you are from the Kang family. The young master is resting upstairs with Miss Muzi. Do you want to come in and wait, or..."

"I have something urgent to discuss with you, sir."

"Since this is an urgent matter, please come in."

Su Lanyin followed him into the room and was guided to run towards the third floor. The largest room at the corner was Miss Muzi's boudoir.

Thinking of what Cuiyun said, Kang Chenxi felt very grumpy when he woke up, so he knocked on the door nervously.

After waiting for a while, a faint sound was heard in the room.

"Who is it... so noisy... Muzi, go open the door." Kang Chenxi urged impatiently.

But after waiting for a while, there was no response from the woman, nor any other movement.

Su Lanyin was getting anxious, worried that Fu Wuyang would look for her after waking up, so she knocked on the door again, this time she used more force and the sound was louder.

Kang Chenxi said unhappily: "Stop making so much noise, Muzi, why don't you go quickly! Muzi? Muzi..."

The noises in the house became increasingly strange until a man's scream was heard.

"Oh my god! Someone come! Someone come quickly!"

Su Lanyin immediately realized something was wrong, kicked the door open and rushed in.

Kang Chenxi got out of bed in a dishevelled state, his face pale with nervousness. He pointed at the other person lying on the bed, stammering and unable to speak complete sentences.

"She, she...she...quickly, look, she...she seems...she seems to be dead!"

After finally finishing her words, Su Lanyin immediately stepped forward to check on Miss Muzi.

I saw the woman lying quietly on the bed, her face pale, her eyes closed, and a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Su Lanyin reached out to feel the patient's pulse, and sure enough, it was gone. It also looked like the patient had been poisoned.

Her heart sank, and she immediately turned around and said, "Call the police!"

……

Half an hour later.

Miss Muzi's boudoir had been taken control of by the people from the county government. After Kang Chenxi put on her clothes, she was taken away as a suspect, while Su Lanyin followed her back to the government office, along with everyone from Nuanxiang Pavilion.

Fu Wuyang rushed over as soon as he heard the news. At this time, Su Lanyin was standing outside.

She was the one who reported to the authorities and had just arrived that morning, so she had no suspicion and was released after being questioned a few times. As for the others, they are currently being interrogated.

"What's going on?" Fu Wuyang frowned and asked hurriedly.

Su Lanyin explained: "I went to look for him early in the morning and saw Miss Muzi dead beside him. I don't know anything else for now."

"You're going to find him?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Fu Wuyang's eyes, his brows furrowed even tighter, and his face was full of confusion.

Su Lanyin even saw a very unhappy emotion in his expression.

She had no choice but to tell the truth.

"I accidentally hurt Kang Chenxi's waist yesterday, so I gave him the injury ointment as compensation. It turned out that you were also injured and needed it more than him, so I went to ask him for it. Cuiyun said he was here, so I came."
