The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 48: Want to Get Married? No Way!

Princess An He said irritably, "She’s fine, nothing happened."

Xie Yunzhen didn’t trust the elder’s words and turned to look at Xi Yu.

Under the intense gaze from the Commandery Princess and the old madam, Xi Yu couldn’t say much and just nodded.

"She’s alright; she was taken back to the Duke Mansion by the Second Lady that night."

She returned, but then left again.

And she went far to Yangzhou, where it is said the Second Lady has chosen a fiancé for her.

With this setup, it’s likely she won’t be returning to the capital once she goes to Yangzhou.

Xi Yu silently added these two sentences in his mind.

The words did nothing to reassure Xie Yunzhen; he not only wanted Ji Mingzhu safe but wanted her kept by his side.

Only by seeing her, holding her, even kissing her, could he find peace.

The accumulated longing exploded forth, overwhelming and uncontrollable; Xie Yunzhen disregarded all restraints and got out of bed.

Days of unconsciousness left his limbs weak, but Xie Yunzhen paid no mind.

He must see Ji Mingzhu.

Immediately, without delay!

"Ah Zhen, where are you going?"

"Back to the mansion."

"Your body hasn’t recovered yet, why go back to the mansion?"

"To see Ji Mingzhu."

Princess An He exclaimed, "Quickly, stop him! Don’t let him run around!"

Xie Yunzhen was resolute; no one could stop him.

After all, he was a martial artist and had been on the battlefield. Even though he was still very weak, if he really fought, few could restrain him.

At this moment, Xie Yunzhen was burning with impatience, his actions driven by intense longing.

Added to that, the guards were also holding back, unwilling to truly injure him, Xie Yunzhen smoothly boarded the carriage.

Without pause, heading towards the city.

"Mother-in-law, what shall we do?"

Princess An He was anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

"Ah Zhen is truly crazy, disregarding even his health, insisting on seeing Ji Mingzhu. If he finds she’s not in the mansion, who knows what he might do!"

The old madam too was shocked by her grandson’s actions.

Clearly, not long ago, he had been rather indifferent to Ji Mingzhu.

Perhaps it was Ji Mingzhu’s beauty that caught his attention, but he shouldn’t be crazy to this extent.

Before, when her grandson jumped off a cliff for Ji Mingzhu, the old madam could comfort herself thinking it was because he was responsible and accustomed to protecting the weak.

But now, upon waking, he’s clamoring to see Ji Mingzhu, that reason no longer holds.

She cursed quietly, "Trouble, always trouble. It’s all the Second Lady’s fault for bringing this vixen back; if she harms Ah Zhen, see how I’ll deal with her!"

Princess An He was even angrier, as it concerned her own son.

Yet complaining more now was useless.

"Mother-in-law, we should hurry back. We can’t let him do anything foolish again."

The old madam nodded repeatedly, "Quick, go quickly."

A crowd hurriedly left the courtyard, once the carriage departed, the place regained its tranquility.

Having watched quite a show, Xi Yu stamped his foot in anger.

Although he very much wanted to see Xie Yunzhen crazily in love, as a physician, he hated patients who didn’t cherish their health!

"The life that was barely saved, and now he’s risking it all again, my efforts will be in vain!"

He commanded the attendant, "Bring the medicine chest, come with me to the Duke Mansion."

In the first carriage, Xie Yunzhen leaned weakly against the soft divan.

He had suffered serious injuries in battle and hadn’t taken up his post, even receiving special grace from His Majesty to recuperate properly.

And now poisoned, after the impulse, he just felt his limbs weak, unable to summon energy.

Yet he dared not delay, fearing that in the blink of an eye, Ji Mingzhu would vanish from his world again.

He knocked on the carriage door, "Speed up!"

Tianshui, sitting alongside the coachman, gently reminded, "Young Master, you must prioritize your health, otherwise if you collapse, how will you find Miss?"

He knew Miss wasn’t in the mansion but didn’t know how to break it.

Afraid of accidentally triggering the one inside, causing them to faint.

Miss had been chased out of the mansion by the old madam, with Miss’s temperament, she certainly wouldn’t return.

Perhaps she’d even bear resentment toward the Young Master.

After all, that incident was quite humiliating.

Not to mention Miss who, having grown up in a distinguished family, has her dignity; even ordinary people couldn’t stomach such grievance.

He sighed quietly, heaven was truly cruel to the Young Master.

After finally feeling the stirrings of love, the elders ruined it; the Young Master was truly pitiable.

Xie Yunzhen was oblivious to Tianshui’s thoughts, assuming Ji Mingzhu was still in the mansion, waiting for him to come find her.

His chest surged with heat, his once lifeless heart throbbed frantically.

The hands resting on his knees involuntarily clenched, Xie Yunzhen was so tense, sweat beaded on his forehead, he felt breathless.

Once he saw Ji Mingzhu, what should he say first?

On that day at the cliff bottom, he had already expressed his feelings.

Even kissing Ji Mingzhu.

This counts as sharing intimacy, destined to marry and spend a lifetime together!

So this meeting, could he directly embrace her?

Xie Yunzhen felt immense relief; in this life, he was braver than in the past life.

No more hesitation and shyness, instead straightforwardly expressing his feelings to Ji Mingzhu.

No need for mutual suspicion and testing, in this lifetime they were sure to have happiness, not repeating the past mistakes.

His heart beat faster and faster, jubilant, as if it wished to leap out of his chest.

Xie Yunzhen urged once again, asking the carriage to accelerate.

Finally unable to wait any longer, he had the coachman detach the carriage and rode a horse into the city.

Left behind Tianshui, in his mind only two words: doomed...

Judging by this situation, when the Young Master finds out Miss isn’t in the mansion, he’ll absolutely lose his mind!

Without the burden, Xie Yunzhen arrived at the mansion fifteen minutes early.

His face pale, looking haggard, though his steps were unsteady, he still headed resolvedly towards Xiao Xiang Courtyard.

On the way, no one dared stop him.

Yet they were puzzled, what’s the Young Master rushing to find Miss for?

The location of Xiao Xiang Courtyard was already somewhat remote; Ji Mingzhu left, taking some maids and matrons with her, making the courtyard eerily quiet.

Besides the gatekeeper matrons and a few sweeping maids, there wasn’t a third person.

Xie Yunzhen stood outside the gate, looking at the excessively cold courtyard, his limbs began to feel weak.

Could Ji Mingzhu have disappeared again?

No, he didn’t believe it!

Everyone said Ji Mingzhu was fine; she surely was hiding, purposefully teasing him.

"Ji Mingzhu, don’t hide."

The pale-faced man searched every room but couldn’t find that elegant silhouette.

The bedroom still carried a sweet scent, the bed with canopy, screen, soft divan... all were there.

But the person was gone.

The clothes and shoes belonging to her were also gone.

Xie Yunzhen’s face turned even more ghastly, large beads of cold sweat rolling down from his temples.

"Where is she?"

His tone was flat, inexplicably carrying a premonition of an approaching storm.

The maid stammered, her voice small, "Miss, Miss has left."

"Where to?"

"Yangzhou."

The man’s eyes turned fierce, repeatedly tasting those two words, "Yangzhou..." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

His heart was burning with pain, reason slowly consumed, devoured.

Suddenly, a cold laugh broke out, "She wants to marry, no way!"
