The Splendid Brocade of the Painting Physician – Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Xiao Yun After Waking Up

The scream pierced through walls and barriers, so horrifying and shocking that the boisterous atmosphere in the hall instantly froze. Everyone curiously strained their ears to listen. In a place like this, it wasn’t unusual to hear a woman’s scream occasionally, simply a matter of romantic affairs. However, this scream didn’t sound like a woman’s voice; it was a strange, distorted man’s scream, as if from a mixture of extreme excitement and pain!

Because this scream almost reached the heavens, piercing the clouds, in an instant, the entire Elegant Poetry Pavilion, even the whole Apricot Blossom and Misty Rain Tower, was thrown into chaos!

Someone couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What’s going on? Who’s screaming?”

“It seems to be coming from the Elegant Poetry Pavilion across the way, right?”

“I heard that Eighth Young Master Xiao booked the whole Elegant Poetry Pavilion today. They wouldn’t even let us in. It’s outrageous!”

“Exactly! Could it be that Eighth Young Master Xiao is playing some unspeakable game again!”

“In broad daylight, this is simply absurd!”

Several young masters from aristocratic families were discussing and laughing, one after another. Li Mi listened, his eyes shining brightly, his passion for watching the excitement surging once more!

“Come on, Third Young Master, let’s go see what happened?”

As Li Mi spoke, he pulled Third Young Master Cui and ran towards the direction of the sound. With him taking the lead, the other guests in the Ceremony and Archery Pavilion also jumped off the field and rushed towards the Elegant Poetry Pavilion across the way!

“Prince of the Commandery, that scream sounded like… someone, being, forced, right?” Looking at the gradually emptying Ceremony and Archery Pavilion as people rushed out, the young guard in Room Number One couldn’t help but say.

“That young lady is here, so the one being forced couldn’t be…?” As if thinking of something indescribable but unbelievable, the young guard’s eyes were filled with surprise, astonishment, and finally, a knowing look of realization. He then couldn’t help but cover his mouth and stifle a laugh.

After hearing the scream, Xiao Tenth Miss also cast a puzzled and incredulous look at Xiao Jinyu, as if asking, “What happened? Did you do something?”

Because she was a little shorter, and Xiao Jinyu had a graceful and slender figure, when she looked up like this, her line of sight could see half of her face through the veil. Just from the perfect contours of her jawline, her delicate nose, and cherry lips, she could tell that Xiao Jinyu wasn’t wearing any disguise or artificial skin today.

But this face was simply too stunning, a true beauty that could topple empires. Xiao Tenth Miss even felt a bit uneasy.

“Don’t go over there!” She couldn’t help but say.

Ignoring Xiao Tenth Miss, Xiao Jinyu called Fenghuang, who was beside her, and prepared to walk towards the Elegant Poetry Pavilion!

At this moment, Xiao Tenth Miss hurriedly took a step forward, blocking their way, and said angrily, “What are you going to do? Isn’t it enough that things have gotten this big? Go back quickly, don’t get involved in this anymore!”

“How is this getting involved? This matter was caused by him, and it should end with him. My Qing Gege is seeking justice for himself. Why are you stopping us?” Fenghuang said unhappily.

“But don’t you know that Seventh Uncle has been worried about you? What justice or not, being alive is more important than anything, isn’t it?”

Xiao Tenth Miss looked at Xiao Jinyu, so anxious that tears were about to fall. At this time, Xiao Xian’s gaze fell on the scroll in Fenghuang’s arms. This was the painting she drew today?

She must have had a purpose in creating this painting, right?

“Tenth Miss, let her go!” Xiao Xian suddenly said, his gaze turning towards Xiao Jinyu.

Xiao Jinyu smiled and nodded at him.

“Seventh Uncle!”

“Let her go!”

Only then did Tenth Miss make way for them to pass. But they didn’t go far before Xiao Jinyu suddenly turned around to look at Xiao Xian.

“If Young Master Xiao Xian has nothing else to do, please come and have a look too!” She said.

Both Xiao Tenth Miss and Xiao Xian were greatly surprised, but seeing the profound meaning in her expression, they couldn’t help but follow her!

……

The Elegant Poetry Pavilion was in complete disarray. Although it was booked by Xiao Yun, and at this moment, Xiao Yun and the young masters who came to the banquet were not in the main hall, because of that scream, the servants brought by the young masters were all nervous and panicked.

Especially Xiao Yun’s maid, Lu Zhu. After hearing that familiar yet strange scream, her legs almost gave way. Just as she was about to rush to the Dream Journey Pavilion to check, she unexpectedly bumped into Princess Yunyin, the mistress of the Xiao family, who came over with a group of servants in a grand manner!

“You wretched slave, why are you alone here? Where is Eighth Young Master now?”

As soon as she entered the Elegant Poetry Pavilion, Princess Yunyin ordered her old servant, Nurse Jiang, to bring the maid Lu Zhu over for questioning.

The maid prostrated herself on the ground, so scared that tears fell from her eyes. She replied in a trembling voice, “In… in the Dream Journey Pavilion…”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Princess Yunyin flick her sleeve and stride angrily towards the Dream Journey Pavilion.

“Follow me to the Dream Journey Pavilion. If anything happens to Eighth Young Master, have these two maids beaten to death!”

“Yes, Madam!”

Princess Yunyin’s casual words made the maid’s face turn pale, her whole body trembling, almost fainting!

At this moment, in the Dream Journey Pavilion, several young masters, led by Lu Sheng, were all looking at the “young lady” they had shared intimate moments with in terror. Their faces were filled with fear and disbelief!

Even more terrified than them was the “young lady” lying on the ground, unable to move after being ravaged.

But why did this “young lady’s” voice turn into a man’s voice?

“Strange, where is Eighth Young Master Xiao? Why isn’t Eighth Young Master Xiao here?” It was Fourth Young Master Zhu who suddenly regained his senses and asked with great concern.

✿✿✿

Before he could finish his words, he heard a crying voice, “Am I not right here?”

Fourth Young Master Zhu shuddered instantly. The crying person was none other than the “young lady” lying on the ground! Oh no, now not only was the screaming voice like a man’s, but even the speaking voice was so familiar!

“Could you be…?” Fourth Young Master Zhu thought of a possibility.

“Are you all fools? Can’t you even tell if it’s a man or a woman?”

The “young lady” who was speaking reached out weakly to her face, as if trying to tear something off. At this moment, Lu Sheng moved with lightning speed, tearing off a piece of artificial skin from her face.

Seeing the true face revealed to be Xiao Yun, the several disheveled young masters screamed in unison and scattered like birds and beasts!

“We… we actually… forced…?” The young master surnamed Kong seemed to understand something, looking at Xiao Yun’s lower body with a terrified expression. Upon seeing this, his whole body trembled!

It’s over! This time it’s really over!

Lu Sheng, however, unhurriedly put on his clothes one by one, his voice laced with mockery and blame, “This is all your fault, Eighth Young Master Xiao. Didn’t you say you only drugged that young lady? Why did we get drugged too?

And yourself, why were you wearing women’s clothes and disguised as that woman, waiting for us here! Can you blame us for this?”

“Right! Eighth Young Master Xiao, you can’t blame us for this. If you wanted to drug someone, just drug her. Why did you drug us too? No wonder I felt so hot and bothered just now, I couldn’t stand it without releasing it, but it turned out to be you…”

Xiao Yun was on the verge of tears. At this moment, he was already half-dead from being tormented, especially with the sharp pain coming from his lower body. What had just happened was a nightmare he couldn’t bear to recall.

“I didn’t drug you…” He cried as he tried to get up, but the tearing pain with his movement almost made him faint again.

“You didn’t drug us, could it be that young lady then? Don’t lie to us, that young lady was being plied with alcohol by you, and all the food and drinks in this Elegant Poetry Pavilion were arranged by you. She had no opportunity and it’s impossible for her to drug us. The only one who could have drugged us is you, Xiao Yun. You wanted to enjoy her alone, so why did you invite us here?”

“Exactly! You wanted to enjoy her alone, but you made us watch and not touch. You were deliberately playing with us!”

“Yes, Eighth Young Master Xiao, you were really unfair! You weren’t satisfied with playing by yourself, so you hid that young lady away, right?”

“Yeah, where did you hide that young lady?”

The young masters spoke one after another, seemingly eager to distance themselves from him. Although Xiao Yun had no strength to speak, he cursed these friends in his heart a thousand times: These idiots, they still don’t know who tricked them, and they’re still fighting over a woman with me!

But it really hurts! These beasts!

Xiao Yun roared and cursed in his heart. At this moment, the door suddenly burst open with a “bang,” and a noblewoman in luxurious clothes and a high bun stood at the door with a group of servants.

Seeing the imposing and aggressive noblewoman, the young masters from aristocratic families were so frightened that they quickly grabbed their incompletely dressed clothes and fled in all directions. Only Lu Sheng remained motionless, looking at Xiao Yun, then at the woman who suddenly barged in.

At this moment, the servants who rushed in with Princess Yunyin, upon seeing Xiao Yun, let out another deafening scream in unison. This scream from many women was like a thunderclap that exploded once again.

“Could it be that someone died?”

Because this scream was louder and more piercing, more and more chaotic footsteps surged towards the Elegant Poetry Pavilion.

At this time, Princess Yunyin seemed to realize something and shouted angrily, “Silence! Stop screaming!” She then quickly ordered, “Block the door, don’t let anyone else in!”

The servants responded with a “Yes” and hurriedly ran to the door of the Elegant Poetry Pavilion.

Seeing his mother’s imposing manner and anger on her face, Xiao Yun also became afraid. He mustered all his strength to squeeze out these words, “Mother… you… why are you here?”

“Mother? She’s your mother… Princess Yunyin?” Lu Sheng asked in shock, his face turning pale.

Princess Yunyin’s gaze, however, fell on Xiao Yun’s lower body. She saw that her son’s entire body was covered in bruises and bloodstains from the torment, and his lower body was a mess, with blood even flowing out!

“What are you doing? Look at yourself!” Princess Yunyin shouted angrily, both furious and heartbroken.

Only then did Xiao Yun seem to think of something terrible and slowly turned his gaze to his lower body. He wished he hadn’t looked, but upon seeing it, his face instantly turned pale, and a shrill scream, “Ah——” pierced the air once more.
