Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 291 Testing

When he saw that everything in the house had returned to normal, Dugu Moyan slowly stood up and walked out of the house at a leisurely pace. He reached out and gently pushed open the carved wooden door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a servant respectfully leading Dugu Jingyao towards him.

Dugu Moyan's gaze instantly fell on Dugu Jingyao. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible hint of teasing. He said, "Hey, Yao'er, how come you have time to come to me today? Is there something important you want to tell me?"

When Dugu Jingyao heard this, a look of helplessness and disgust suddenly appeared on her face. She rolled her eyes and responded, "Dugu Moyan, can you be serious? I heard that you were injured yesterday, so I came here to see how your injury is."

Hearing this, Dugu Moyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping across the servants standing in the yard like lightning. His face was gloomy, and his voice was low and stern as he demanded, "Who is so ignorant and talkative as to dare to tell Yao'er about my injury?"

However, facing Dugu Moyan's questioning, the servants looked at each other in fear, no one dared to say a word. At this time, Dugu Jingyao shook her head gently and hurriedly explained, "Alright, don't embarrass these servants. They don't have the guts to gossip. Actually, it was Lin Zhi who told me."

However, as the newly appointed male owner of this mansion, Dugu Moyan is well aware of his identity and status. Even if he has realized that he may have made a mistake, how can he easily admit his mistake?

At this moment, he cleared his throat with a slightly embarrassed look on his face and coughed twice deliberately to hide his inner uneasiness: "Ahem... So that's what's going on!"

Dugu Jingyao, standing nearby, saw this and refused to let him go. She put on a stern face and said in a serious tone, "Dugu Moyan, my dear brother, don't try to change the subject and get away with it. I just asked about your injuries. If you don't answer honestly, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Hearing his sister's threatening words, Dugu Moyan seemed to have guessed what might happen next. He quickly pleaded with Dugu Jingyao, "Oh, please don't do anything. I'm really fine, not hurt at all! It's just a little scratch. What's a small injury? Compared to the injuries we get from martial arts training and the sword fights we've experienced on the battlefield, this is nothing!"

However, Dugu Jingyao didn't know why, but she always had an intuition telling her that the brother in front of her must be hiding something from her.

Thinking of this, she no longer gave Dugu Moyan any chance to react, and instantly attacked Dugu Moyan, wanting to uncover the secret by testing him personally.

Seeing that Dugu Jingyao's hand was about to touch his left arm, Dugu Moyan's heart tightened, and his figure flashed like a ghost, quickly avoiding the sudden contact.

Seeing this, Dugu Jingyao narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and she already understood in her heart - Dugu Moyan's left arm must be injured, otherwise with his skills he would definitely fight back or stop his attack, so why would he choose to dodge?

After figuring this out, Dugu Jingyao let out a delicate cry and rushed forward again. Her moves were extremely fierce and she went straight for Dugu Moyan.

Dugu Moyan was in great pain at the moment. On the one hand, he really didn't want to use any harsh force on this lovely sister in front of him, for fear of accidentally hurting her; on the other hand, he was worried that Dugu Jingyao would use harsh force to test the severity of his injuries, causing the wound that had already been bandaged to worsen again, and the situation became out of control.

Dugu Jingyao attacked as fast as the wind, with increasingly fierce attacks, while she sternly shouted, "If your injury is not serious, then come and let me see it quickly!" Facing Dugu Jingyao's relentless pressure, Dugu Moyan retreated step by step, and only stopped after retreating to the back of the flower hall.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, he could only sigh helplessly and compromise: "Okay, okay, it's all up to you. Just follow me." After that, he turned and walked towards the flower hall.

Dugu Jingyao followed closely behind and after entering the flower hall, she saw Dugu Moyan slowly rolling up his sleeves, revealing his left arm that had just been wrapped in white gauze.

Looking closely, although there was no trace of blood on the gauze, the faint smell of medicine and Dugu Moyan's slightly pale face made people realize that he was indeed injured, but it did not seem too serious.

After Dugu Jingyao finished reading it carefully, the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. She breathed a sigh of relief and complained coquettishly: "Oh, you guy, your injury is obviously not that serious, why don't you let me see it? If you had let me see it earlier, there wouldn't be so many troubles!" As she said that, she stomped her feet lightly to express her dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Moyan slowly lowered his sleeves somewhat embarrassedly and explained softly: "Don't be angry, sister. I'm just afraid that you'll worry. If you knew about it, you would definitely keep talking about it. What if it accidentally got to father, wouldn't everyone be scared too?" He scratched the back of his head, looking innocent.

However, Dugu Jingyao didn't buy it. She put her hands on her hips, widened her eyes and retorted, "You are so stupid! The more you hide it from me, the more uneasy I feel. I thought your injuries were so serious that you couldn't see anyone! Now that I see with my own eyes that you are not seriously injured, I naturally won't mention this to my father, so as to save him from worrying about it." After that, she rolled her eyes at Dugu Moyan.

Dugu Moyan knew that he was in the wrong, so he quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I will never hide it so deliberately next time. I promise to do what I say!" He looked at Dugu Jingyao sincerely, hoping to get his sister's forgiveness.

Seeing this, Dugu Jingyao finally nodded in satisfaction, but she couldn't help but raise her chin proudly and said, "Humph, then you better remember what I said today. If you do it again, I will not let you off easily!"

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she changed the subject and asked, "By the way, brother, I remember the last time I celebrated my birthday, it seemed like you and Yue'er organized it together, right?"

Dugu Moyan smiled and replied, "That's right, it's the birthday party that Yue'er and I planned for you. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Dugu Jingyao then explained the other purpose of her visit: "This is it, Yue'er's birthday is in about twenty days. This should be the last birthday I can spend with her at home, so I also want to prepare a surprise birthday party for her!"

Dugu Moyan calculated the time and said with an "I see" expression, "Yes! Yue'er's birthday is coming soon, but it was mainly Yue'er who suggested it last time. I was just helping to find someone or something."

Dugu Jingyao said gloomily, "Is that so?"

Seeing Dugu Jingyao's unhappy look, Dugu Moyan seemed to recall something and said, "Oh, by the way, I remember that Xingchen and Xinyu were also involved last time. Why don't we go ask them?"

Dugu Jingyao ignited a glimmer of hope: "Okay. Then I'll go ask." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Dugu Moyan stopped her and said, "Hey, sister, wait for me! I'll go with you!"

Dugu Jingyao looked back at Dugu Moyan with an expression that said, "You have to go anyway." Dugu Moyan saw it and explained, "Yuer is my sister too. This is the first birthday I've celebrated for her since I became your brother, so naturally I have to do my best. Besides, I've already prepared a birthday party for you, so I can't be partial to one over the other!"

Dugu Jingyao finally realized what was going on, so she waved to Dugu Moyan and said, "Let's go, let's go together! Let's hurry back before dinner."

The brother and sister rode together to the Zhennan Marquis Mansion.
