The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 58 Sneaking a Visit

As night fell, the courtyard of Qi Yuxuan's mansion was quiet.

Qi Yuxuan sat by Qi Yushuang's bedside, gently wiping the sweat from her forehead. The candlelight illuminated his face, making him appear exceptionally tender.

Qi Yushuang lay on the bed, her face pale and her eyes showing a hint of exhaustion.

She slightly opened her eyes and saw Qi Yushuang's concerned gaze, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

“Brother Xuan…” Qi Yushuang’s voice was a little hoarse, “You don’t need to take such good care of me. I don’t want to be a burden to you.”

Qi Yushuang stopped what she was doing, gently took her hand, and said softly, "Silly girl, what are you talking about being a burden? We're getting married soon, so we'll share joys and sorrows. Your affairs are my affairs, how could I possibly abandon you?"

A hint of emotion flashed in Qi Yushuang's eyes, but she still said softly, "But we haven't gone through the wedding ceremony yet. If I stay here with you, won't there be a lot of gossip?"

Qi Yuxuan smiled, his tone firm yet warm: "Your father is fighting a war far away in Chang'an, and your mother passed away early. You're with me, and I'll find a way to detoxify you. The most important thing now is for you to recover your health as soon as possible, so don't worry about anything else."

Qi Yushuang nodded slightly, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes. She knew Qi Yuxuan's feelings, but Qi Yuxuan's growing affection for Qiu Ziyue also made her somewhat uneasy.

She said softly, "I don't think Miss Qiu is such a malicious person. You shouldn't be too hostile towards her. After all, she's still a young girl. I heard you stabbed her with a sword. How could you do that? Why don't you go and see her sometime? What if someone else poisoned her? You're not wronging her."

Qi Yuxuan looked at Qi Yushuang with affection in his eyes: "It's rumored in the martial arts world that she's a female demon. After all, I'm not very familiar with her, and it wasn't my intention to stab her. There's a lot of commotion in the martial arts world, so don't worry too much. I think the truth will come out in the future."

Qi Yushuang sensed Qi Yuxuan's sincerity and determination, and her worries gradually dissipated.

She smiled slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Xuan..."

Seeing that she was gradually falling asleep, Qi Yuxuan gently covered her with the blanket and continued to stay by her bedside.

Looking at Qi Yushuang's peaceful sleeping face, he was filled with worry.

Before Qiu Ziyue appeared, he had made up his mind countless times to pick a date to get married. No matter how many difficulties lay ahead, he would face them together with Qi Yushuang and get through them together.

But now, he suddenly wants to postpone the wedding as much as possible, and he doesn't know why.

As night deepened, the room became quiet and cozy.

Qi Yuxuan silently watched over Qi Yushuang until she fell into a deep sleep.

As night fell and darkness descended, all was quiet outside Qi Yuxuan's residence, save for the chirping of crickets.

Qi Yuxuan returned to his study, his gaze fixed on a jade plaque inscribed with the character "陶" (Tao), as if lost in deep memories.

His face sometimes showed a gentle smile, and sometimes a hint of sadness.

Qi Yuxuan murmured to himself, "Qiu Ziyue, please forgive me, I didn't mean to hurt you..."

After a long time, Qi Yuxuan came to the sword-training ground to practice his swordsmanship. The long sword in his hand moved as smoothly as flowing clouds and water.

His movements were agile and powerful, each move full of strength and beauty.

However, although the physical exhaustion brought him a sense of relief, the inner turmoil could not be dispelled.

After finishing his sword practice, Qi Yuxuan stood on the sidelines, panting, a strange impulse rising within him.

He suddenly had a urge to see Qiu Ziyue, that infamous female demon who was feared and terrified by the rumors of the martial arts world.

Despite telling himself not to think about her anymore, his legs seemed to have a will of their own, involuntarily flying towards Lu Minglou's direction.

Because he was as famous as Lu Yuanchangming and had been to Lu Minglou before, he was quite familiar with Lu Minglou.

Using his light-footed skills, he quickly arrived outside the courtyard wall of Lu Minglou.

He nimbly vaulted over the wall and landed in a secluded corner.

He guessed that Qiu Ziyue was in the women's quarters, so he cautiously approached the room where Qiu Ziyue was, afraid of disturbing anyone.

At this moment, Qiu Ziyue was lying in bed, while Liu Xu was tidying up her things in the room.

At this moment, Liu Xu occasionally hummed a little tune, busy and happy, appearing exceptionally lively and adorable.

Liu Xu was young, the same age as Qiu Ziyue, and not very tall, with a petite and delicate figure.

Liu Xu has long, glossy black hair, usually tied into a ponytail with a simple red string, with a few loose strands hanging casually in front of her forehead, adding a touch of playfulness.

Her face was round, her skin was fair, and her big eyes were bright and expressive, as if they could speak, always sparkling with curiosity and innocence.

"Sister Ziyue, I've brought you some fruit."

As Liu Xu spoke, she walked in carrying a plate of fresh fruit.

She gently placed it on the small table by the bedside, then sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at Qiu Ziyue with concern.

"Thank you, Liu Xu," Qiu Ziyue said with a smile, feeling grateful to the lively and lovely little maid.

Liu Xu smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth, which added to her playful charm.

Hearing the conversation, which was hushed from inside the room, Qi Yuxuan held his breath and pressed his face against the window to listen.

"Sister Ziyue, how are you feeling? Does your wound still hurt?"

"I'm much better, thanks to your careful care," Qiu Ziyue replied gently.

Liu Xu nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "Oh, right, Sister Ziyue, I saw a little squirrel in the garden this morning. It was so cute! It even stole the food I prepared for the birds!"

Twilight Sparkle was amused by her description: "Really? That little squirrel must be very naughty."

"Yes, it wasn't afraid of me at all, and it was happily eating there."

As Liu Xu spoke, she imitated a little squirrel, cupping her face in her hands and making a greedy face, which made Qiu Ziyue burst out laughing.

"You're such a lively character, Liu Xu," Qiu Ziyue said with a smile. "Having you around makes me feel so much better."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xu smiled contentedly: "As long as Sister Ziyue is happy, I'm happy too."

At this moment, Liu Xu took out a small box from her bosom and mysteriously handed it to Qiu Ziyue: "Sister Ziyue, this is a little gift I made especially for you. I hope you will like it."

Qiu Ziyue took the box, opened it, and found a delicate bracelet inside. Several small beads were hanging on it, and each bead was engraved with a different pattern, such as flowers, stars, and the moon. It was very exquisite.

"Did you make this yourself?" Qiu Ziyue asked in surprise.

Liu Xu nodded, her eyes filled with pride: "Yes, I made it myself, bit by bit. I hope you like it."

Qiu Ziyue held her hand with emotion: "Liu Xu, thank you. This is the most special gift I have ever received. I will cherish it."

Liu Xu smiled happily, her eyes shining even brighter.

"Sister Ziyue, as long as you like it, that's fine." Just then, there was a soft knock on the door. Liu Xu got up to open it. It turned out that Qiu Langyu had come to visit Qiu Ziyue with some tonics.

Qi Yuxuan quickly hid in a corner where he could not be easily noticed. He quickly adjusted his breathing and tried to calm himself down.

At this moment, his heart was filled with contradictions.

"What am I doing? Have I gone mad?" Qi Yuxuan asked himself in a low voice, "How did I become so secretive?"

He is an upright and honest man, and has always been known for his integrity and frankness.

But now, he's hiding like a thief, a behavior that makes him very uneasy.

Qi Yuxuan leaned against the corner of the wall, closed his eyes, and sighed deeply.

He recalled the sword he had once stabbed Qiu Ziyue, and the rumors in the martial arts world that Qiu Ziyue was a female demon. Those memories made him very conflicted.

He didn't know if he could still trust her, or if his actions were even meaningful.

Qi Yuxuan thought to himself, "Why? Is it just guilt that I would do such a thing?"

He couldn't tell whether he felt pity or self-blame for Qiu Ziyue, but he also couldn't ignore the influence of those rumors circulating in the martial arts world.

He must find out the truth before he can decide what to do next.

"Sister Ziyue, Brother Langyu is here," Liu Xu said with a smile.

Senior disciple Qiu Langyu is a highly respected disciple in the Valley of Passion, and he has a very good relationship with Qiu Ziyue.

At this moment, Qiu Langyu's face was full of concern.
