Chapter 64 Has the Madam Become Stupid Too?

He thought that hugging Shen Ning could calm her down, but Si Yan discovered that she was shaking even more violently than before.

He distanced himself from Shen Ning and saw that his eyes were unfocused, and he had a bad feeling.

"What's wrong with you?" Si Yan held Shen Ning's shoulders and asked anxiously.

The huge physical difference forced Shen Ning to look him in the face. She sobbed and her voice was as childish as a child's. "I, I want to go home."

After hearing this, Si Yan suppressed the weirdness in his heart, took the person to his arms, tried to hug her, and comforted her: "Okay, I'll take you home."

Shen Ning twisted her body and cried unscrupulously: "Bad guy, who are you? I don't want to go with you."

At this time, there were still many guards outside the cave entrance. After seeing Shen Ning's condition, they looked at each other in bewilderment. Ling Feng's face changed drastically. In a hurry, he blurted out: "General, has your wife also become stupid..."

As soon as Ling Feng said the word "stupid", Si Yan gave him a cold look, causing him to choke back the second half of his sentence.

Si Yan looked back at Shen Ning, his throat was raw, and answered her previous question: "I am your husband."

Shen Ning blinked, as if she didn't understand what he said, and just repeated: "Husband, husband..."

She sniffed and stopped crying temporarily. Her eyes were full of innocence and she asked softly, "Then will you be nice to me?"

At that moment, Si Yan's mind flashed through the days they had spent together like a kaleidoscope, from the beginning when he thought she was a spy and put her in jail, to everything that happened later, and to the time they parted on bad terms half a month ago.

After hesitating for two seconds, Si Yan remained calm and composed, except for a slight twitch in his forehead when he spoke: "Of course."

Shen Ning seemed to believe it, and her attitude was not as resistant as before. Seeing this, Si Yan quickly struck while the iron was hot, stretched out his hand to Shen Ning, wiped the dust off her face, and touched her head with his palm, and said in a very gentle tone: "Do you want to come with me?"

Shen Ning looked at him with bright eyes, swept his gaze across his face, and nodded weakly.

After getting her approval, Si Yan put one arm around her back and the other arm behind her knees, picking her up like a child.

Shen Ning put his arms around his neck and rested his chin on his shoulder. He closed his eyes due to exhaustion. His eyelashes cast a shadow in a semicircle on his face. He looked quiet and well-behaved.

Si Yan was afraid of waking her up, so he carried her back directly. The previous carriage was no longer usable, so he had someone prepare another one and carried Shen Ning directly into it.

Ling Feng had been following closely beside him. When he saw Si Yan put Shen Ning down, he quickly stepped forward and said, "General, I will definitely take good care of the Madam from now on."

He wanted to take the initiative to show his ability, make amends, and seek forgiveness from Si Yan, but Si Yan just looked at him coldly and said in a cold voice: "You are not needed here."

Ling Feng lowered his head in guilt, knowing that Si Yan was blaming him for not doing his job well, but he didn't know that Miss Luo was that kind of person. No matter what, it was wrong.

He bowed and said in a resolute voice, "I am willing to be punished."

Si Yan had no time to care about him at this time. Over the years, he had grown from an abandoned child in the Xianwang Mansion to an independent first-rank general and the King of Wu'an personally conferred by the emperor.

But this time, he admitted that he had made a wrong judgment. He didn't even dare to think about what Shen Ning had experienced and how scared he was.

Si Yan lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Ning, who was sleeping peacefully on his legs. When he raised his eyes again, his eyes were dark and full of strong emotions. His voice was cold and he said, "Call Luo Baizhi over."

Luo Baizhi went over terrified and pretended to be calm, pointing at Shen Ning and said, "It's okay, she might have run away because she was scared. If you hadn't gone to find her, she might have gone to Xiangyang by now." Luo Baizhi's voice was a little sharp, and Shen Ning muttered and showed signs of waking up. Si Yan patted her back gently, which made Shen Ning sleep more soundly.

When he looked at Luo Baizhi again, Si Yan's eyes changed instantly, but he didn't intend to argue with her too much. He just spit out a few words coldly: "You can go now, don't call me senior brother anymore."

Luo Baizhi couldn't believe it: "You can't do this to me, my father..."

"If it weren't for the master, you would be a corpse now! I told you a long time ago, don't touch her! I'll give you one last chance, get out!" Si Yan's tone was harsh and did not allow for refusal.

The five finger marks on Luo Baizhi's neck were still aching slightly. Looking at Si Yan's furious expression, her body trembled.

After this incident, the way Ling Xiao, Ling Feng and others looked at Luo Baizhi changed. She was so vicious and cruel. It was a waste of their previous judgment of her.

Luo Baizhi was isolated and helpless at this time, and had lost Si Yan's trust, so she had no other choice.

She did not break up with Si Yan. Seeing Shen Ning's expression, she couldn't explain anything for a while. Even if she said something, only two of them knew the situation at that time.

Thinking of this, Luo Baizhi decided to stick to her previous statement and said aggrievedly:

"No matter what you think, I really didn't mean it. Since you don't believe me, just leave. However, you will definitely regret it."

Luo Baizhi rode away on horseback, leaving behind only a lonely figure.

The group continued to move forward. Shen Ning woke up after a nap. His nervous state was more stable than before, but he was still very shy. When he saw a stranger coming, he would snuggle into Si Yan's arms.

"Hold me, I want you to hold me~" Shen Ning's voice was soft. She hooked her arms around Si Yan's neck and sat on his lap. Due to the height difference, it was difficult to reach him, so she hummed a few times anxiously.

After hearing this, the young men outside looked at each other and didn't dare to look into the carriage at all, their faces turned red.

After finishing their business, several people ran away quickly.

Looking at Shen Ning sitting astride him, Si Yan's eyes gradually darkened. He rubbed her dirty face with his thumb and said softly with a doting tone: "Change into clean clothes, ok?"

Shen Ning seemed to understand and nodded.

Si Yan patted her butt and coaxed her, "Come down first."

Then he turned around to look for Shen Ning's bag, took out a set of clean clothes from it, and was about to change Shen Ning into them.

When he turned around, his eyes suddenly changed.

Shen Ning's belt was untied in a mess, and the collar of his shirt had fallen to his arm. His fair shoulders were exposed to the air, and there were spots of blood on them, which must have seeped in through his outer shirt.

Before he could get his upper body ready, Shen Ning was about to take off his pants. Si Yan quickly grabbed Shen Ning's hand. Shen Ning raised his head and looked at him in a daze.

Feeling the smoothness under his hands, Si Yan's Adam's apple rolled and he opened his thin lips slightly: "I'll help you change it."

After saying that, he picked up a handkerchief to wipe the blood off her body, took off her clothes, and helped her put on new clothes little by little.
