Chapter 264 is about to stay
The bad guys, of course, weren't caught. The saying "evil lives on for a thousand years" probably describes this situation perfectly.
Originally, Chu Feng was already at his wit's end, surrounded by a group of guards, and was just short of being able to capture someone.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared out of nowhere and, without asking any questions, intercepted Chu Feng. Fortunately, they showed mercy and did not harm the guards of the villa in the slightest.
The attack on the villa has temporarily come to an end. However, the battle outside the capital has only just begun.
There has been considerable unrest outside the capital these past few days. Those who fled are still hiding in refugee camps. Some of those who were still observing have already begun to evacuate.
However, as the streets fell silent, the sounds of battle became all the more clear and distinct.
That night, in her hazy state, Li Xiaonuan suddenly heard several explosions. The sounds were far louder than the hand-thrown grenades in Li Xiaonuan's hand.
The explosion shook the entire capital city.
According to Li Xiaonuan's guess, it must have been a large thunderbolt launched by Prince Jing's men using a catapult.
Since secret weapons have been used, can we say that this war has forced Prince Jing and his men to fight to the death?
Thinking about this, Li Xiaonuan felt increasingly uneasy.
Just as uneasy as Li Xiaonuan were her father and the others.
Although Li Xiaonuan tried her best to comfort the two elderly people, they remained preoccupied and unable to relax at all.
Li's father and the others could hear the shouts of battle clearly every night.
Moreover, this Prince Jing's villa is so close to the north gate. Even the shrill screams of those soldiers as they died could be heard in the villa.
The Su family has started burning incense and praying to Buddha these past few days.
That morning, the Li family members sat listlessly in the main hall, exchanging nonsensical words of comfort.
Suddenly, the gatekeeper helped a person walk in with unsteady steps.
Li Xiaonuan looked closely and realized that the person was Zhou Liufei.
"Brother Liu Fei, why are you back? Your injuries are hard to move. If you move like this, the newly stitched wound will reopen." Li Xiaonuan greeted him anxiously.
Zhou Liufeng remained silent, gritting his teeth as he climbed over the gatehouse and entered the main hall. His wounds were already throbbing with pain as he walked back.
"Oh dear, Liu Fei, why are you back at this hour? Come on, sit down. If your wound gets worse, it'll be troublesome." Madam Su quickly stepped forward to help the gatekeeper up.
Father Li glanced at Zhou Liufeng and sighed inwardly. He got up, called out a few times towards the door, and summoned several servants to carry Zhou Liufeng back to his courtyard.
Zhou Liufei was too weak to speak, so he let Li's father make the arrangements.
Just as Zhou Liufeng was being carried away, someone came to report that the second young lady of the Chu family had arrived.
Li Xiaonuan was puzzled. What was Chu Xun'er doing here? And at a time like this, after Chu Feng openly led people to attack the villa.
"Don't let her in. Maybe she's here to help her brother capture our Xiaonuan," Madam Su finally said.
Previously, Madam Su had always felt indebted to the Chu family, so she was always very tolerant of the Chu family members.
Even after Li Xiaonuan analyzed the current situation with Madam Su, explaining that the Li family and the Chu family were in a state of hostility, Madam Su still advised Li Xiaonuan to be more tolerant of the Chu family.
But after what happened two days ago, the Su family truly changed their opinion of the Chu family. This made Li Xiaonuan very gratified.
At least, Su was not the kind of person who was blindly loyal and filial.
"Mother, let her in. I think that second young lady is not the same kind of person as that wicked Chu." Li Xiaonuan felt that Chu Xun'er had come for Zhou Liufei.
"But... alright then, if she's alone, let her in." Madam Su finally compromised.
Of course, the reason for the compromise was probably that Su herself believed that Chu Xun'er was not a truly evil person.
"Li Xiaonuan, where did you hide Zhou Liufei?" Her voice preceded her arrival.
As expected, Chu Xun'er came for Zhou Liufei.
"Second Miss Chu, are you here to see Brother Liu Fei?" Li Xiaonuan asked again.
Chu Xun'er, who had just entered, pouted and replied, "I came here to find that piece of broken wood. Tell me, why did you hide it?"
“Miss Chu, we haven’t hidden anyone. Also, Zhou Liufeng is the future son-in-law of the Li family. I advise you to have some self-respect.” Father Li, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
He hadn't spoken before because he didn't want to cause any more trouble for the Su family. But this Chu Xun'er kept talking about finding his future son-in-law, how could he not be angry?
Originally, Father Li was still brooding over Chu Feng's matter.
Li's father's words reminded Su Shi. She also asked Chu Xun'er in a cold voice, "Second Miss Chu, what do you want with our son-in-law, a young lady like you?"
These days, Chu Xun'er often stays in the clinic, using the guise of taking care of Zhou Liufei to spend a lot of time with him.
Upon meeting him, Chu Xun'er discovered that Zhou Liufeng was a very good person. He had a wide range of experiences and spoke clearly and logically.
And so, the little girl, who already harbored heroic sentiments, gradually became infatuated with Zhou Liufeng, a man who rarely paid attention to her.
After realizing Chu Xun'er's unusual attitude, Zhou Liufei once warned Chu Xun'er.
But Chu Xun'er was just naturally stubborn. The more you forbid her from doing something, the more she would want to do it.
Annoyed, Zhou Liufeng suddenly realized that he wasn't actually annoyed by Chu Xun'er's unreasonable behavior at all.
Sometimes, he particularly enjoyed Chu Xun'er's undisguised adoration and her unadorned affection.
This made Zhou Liufeng very flustered.
No matter what, he's already engaged; how could he have such feelings for anyone other than Li Xiaonuan?
So, on this day, Zhou Liufeng took advantage of the moment when the people at the clinic were not paying attention and secretly slipped back to the villa.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xun'er was someone who knew Zhou Liufei very well, and immediately followed him to the villa.
"Miss Chu, the world outside is in chaos these days. Why are you still running around like this? What if something happens to you?" This was actually what Li Xiaonuan was most worried about.
These days, the capital is indeed in great chaos. Not to mention women wandering alone outside, even girls hiding in their own backyards have been reportedly taken advantage of in the chaos.
The security situation in this capital city is now practically nonexistent.
If it weren't for the fact that each family had its own guards and servants, those thugs hiding in the shadows would have already robbed all those aristocratic families and wealthy merchants of everything.
Reminded by Li Xiaonuan, Chu Xun'er suddenly recalled the scene when Zhou Liufei was injured.
Indeed, if Chu Xun'er were to recklessly wander outside now, she might very well be destroyed beyond recognition.
Seeing Chu Xun'er's lingering fear, Li Xiaonuan said in a deep voice, "I'll have someone take you back."
He thought Chu Xun'er would obediently agree. Who would have thought that Chu Xun'er would act like a rogue?
"No, I'm not going back. I'm going to stay here! I want to take care of Zhou Liufeng until he gets better, then I'll go back." Chu Xun'er clenched her little fists and shouted.
“If you don’t go back, your family will worry about you. Tell me, what if they find us here and accuse us of kidnapping you? Wouldn’t we be wronged?” Li Xiaonuan didn’t want Chu Xun’er to stay at all.
