Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Then Why Are You Still Here? "Miss, could I trouble you to lend your kitchen for making some medicinal porridge?" After finishing breakfast, Xuan Ming asked as he stood up. Shen Qinglan nodded, "Certainly." She knew that Duan Yunfei would likely wake up soon. "Ah, my forgetfulness!" Xuan Ming reproached himself, "I forgot to give some ingredients for Xuan Ying to prepare medicinal food just now." "There’s no need to worry about that," Old Tang said, "The last time Miss Shen was ill, I had someone send over quite a few ingredients for medicinal porridge, there should still be some left." Shen Qinglan said, "I’ll ask Aunt Yang to cook some medicinal porridge." With that, she stood up and left. As soon as she left, Duan Yunfei woke up. "Young Master!" Xuan Ming, who first noticed him open his eyes, couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. Seeing him attempting to move, Xuan Ming was startled and quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Young Master, don’t move, there’s an injury on your back." Duan Yunfei paused in his movements, then hoarsely said, "Help me sit up." Upon hearing this, Xuan Ming hurriedly, along with Old Tang, carefully helped him sit up. "Young Master, have a cup of water!" Old Tang quickly poured a cup of water and brought it over. After drinking the water, Duan Yunfei finally asked, "Where is this place?" He remembered being chased by someone last night, escaping into Baihua Lane in desperation, and amidst his confusion, he seemed to have seen Shen Qinglan. Xuan Ming replied, "This is Miss Shen’s boudoir." "Qinglan’s boudoir?" Duan Yunfei was taken aback, then looking at the two of them, he asked with some displeasure, "Then why are you still here?" Old Tang and Xuan Ming: ... "Where is she?" Duan Yunfei asked again. Old Tang said, "Oh, Miss Shen went to have the medicinal porridge cooked for you." "Hmm!" Duan Yunfei nodded, then looked at Xuan Ming and asked, "Are you all okay? Where’s Xuan Ying?" Xuan Ming replied, "We’re fine, those people have been dealt with, I sent Xuan Ying to the pharmacy to buy medicine." Duan Yunfei asked in a deep voice, "Did you find out who they were?" Xuan Ming shook his head, "After dealing with them, we realized we had been tricked and rushed back without having the chance to investigate their identities." At the time, the situation was urgent. He and Xuan Ying pursued them for quite a distance, only to later discover that these people were not very skilled and were merely used to lure them away. When they returned, they saw a heap of corpses dressed in black, but Duan Yunfei was nowhere to be found. They followed the trail of blood a long way, but midway, a heavy rain extinguished the tracks, and the blood traces were washed away. "However..." Xuan Ming took a token from his waist and handed it to Duan Yunfei, "This is what Xuan Ying and I found on the ground when we returned to look for you." Duan Yunfei glanced at it and said in a low voice, "This is nothing more than an ordinary token, there’s nothing special about it." Upon hearing this, Xuan Ming felt rather regretful. He asked, "Who was it that caused this injury to you, Young Master?" Duan Yunfei was highly skilled, and those who could injure him were few and far between; who could have hurt him so? Duan Yunfei shook his head, "I’m not sure, it was a masked person, the voice sounded very hoarse and old, I have never heard it before." He had been surrounded by a group of men in black, and in a moment of carelessness, he was struck by the masked man. Xuan Ming said with a relieved expression, "Fortunately, Young Master escaped to Miss Shen’s place!" If something had truly happened to Duan Yunfei, they wouldn’t be able to face returning to Yongning Manor. Speaking of Shen Qinglan, Duan Yunfei curled his lips. "Ah! There’s something I think I should mention to you, Young Master." "Hmm?" Duan Yunfei was puzzled. "Well..." Xuan Ming said, "It’s just that, to sew your wound, Miss Shen unraveled a thread from the Ice Silkworm Skirt you gave her."
