Chapter 588: Chapter 482: I’m not pure anymore... it’s shocking, it’s touching!_2

He picked up a handkerchief lying nearby and wiped her tears, "What’s wrong? Does the wound hurt?"

Xun Qingqing had cried more these two days than she ever had in her entire life, yet she couldn’t help it. Just thinking about what Mei Yisi had done made her feel disgusted and wronged.

She looked at Jun Wuxian through her tears, "Am I... tainted now?"

Jun Wuxian’s hand paused in wiping her tears, seeing her tearful appearance; he felt a sudden pang of distress.

"Nonsense."

"But, I was almost..." Xun Qingqing started to think about it, and tears began to stream down her face uncontrollably.

"I arrived just in time; don’t think too much about it." Jun Wuxian indeed had arrived timely and hadn’t allowed Mei Yisi to succeed.

It was fortunate he had arrived when he did, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Xun Qingqing was crying because Mei Yisi had touched her and removed her clothes. She had never been treated like this in her life...

Xun Qingqing’s sobbing halted, and it occurred to her that Jun Wuxian might have also seen her in her undergarments...

Seeing that she was still crying, Jun Wuxian said, "Forget all this, understand?"

Xun Qingqing sobbed a few times, and as if she had remembered something, looked at Jun Wuxian with tearful eyes, "I need to bathe. I feel so dirty."

At that moment, Chu Zhao came in carrying a meal and approached the bedside. Glancing at Xun Qingqing, he thought, this is going to ruin her beauty—

After setting down the meal, he retreated to the doorway to stand guard.

Jun Wuxian said, "Have your meal first, then you can bathe."

Xun Qingqing looked at the appetizing meal in front of her. She hadn’t eaten for two days and a night and was very hungry, but she still insisted on bathing first.

"I want to bathe now."

Jun Wuxian relented, "Alright."

He instructed Chu Zhao, "Prepare some hot water."

Xun Qingqing quickly made a request, "Add some fresh flower petals to dispel the disgusting smell, and add some Essential Oil too."

Jun Wuxian responded, "Did you hear that?"

"Subordinate heard you," Chu Zhao said and turned to prepare the hot water.

Once the hot water was prepared, Xun Qingqing walked to the bathtub with the support of Jun Wuxian.

After Jun Wuxian left, Xun Qingqing hastily stripped off all her clothes and sat down in the bathtub, filled with fresh petals. She couldn’t help but cry again.

Jun Wuxian waited outside for a long time but didn’t see Xun Qingqing come out. He knocked forcefully on the door, "Xun Qingqing? Xun Qingqing?"

A while later, with no response, he said firmly, "If you don’t open the door, I’m going to kick it down."

Still, there was no movement inside, so Jun Wuxian kicked open the door with a loud "bang."

He couldn’t worry about anything else and strode inside, heading straight behind the screen to see Xun Qingqing huddled in the water.

"...I thought something had happened to you," Jun Wuxian said upon seeing several bloody scratches on Xun Qingqing’s neck as if she had been clawed. He had not noticed any injuries there before the bath.

Her most severe injury was on her face, and she had no other injuries on her body.

Seeing Jun Wuxian enter, Xun Qingqing instinctively shrank further into the water, and with tearful eyes, she implored, "Can you prepare another tub of hot water? I’m afraid I won’t get clean enough."

Seeming to guess what she was thinking but not saying it aloud, Jun Wuxian simply stated, "I can prepare the hot water, but you must promise me that you will get dressed and come out within the time it takes to burn a stick of incense."

Xun Qingqing nodded her head.

Only then did Jun Wuxian turn and leave, preparing another tub of hot water.

Xun Qingqing stepped from one bathtub to another.

The time to burn a stick of incense passed quickly, and there was a knock on the door again, "Xun Qingqing, come out quickly."

Xun Qingqing didn’t want to leave the water but remembered her promise to Jun Wuxian to come out after the time it took to burn a stick of incense, and she couldn’t break her word.

She stood up shivering, dried off her body with a clean towel, and put on her clothes before walking out.

"If you don’t come out now, I’m going to drag you out..."

Hearing the impatience in Jun Wuxian’s voice, Xun Qingqing hurriedly quickened her pace and opened the door, only to see Jun Wuxian about to kick down the door... and her face turned pale.

Fortunately, Jun Wuxian reacted quickly and drew back his leg.

After an awkward moment, Xun Qingqing sat at the dinner table, looking at the meal before her, and her stomach growled in good timing.

Jun Wuxian also wanted to know what exactly had happened that had led Xun Qingqing to such calamity.

"Let’s talk after you finish eating."

Xun Qingqing picked up her chopsticks, took some food, and put it in her mouth. She only chewed twice when the pain from her wound made her wince, "It hurts so much."

Her voice had been very soft when speaking because she was both tired and hungry, lacking strength, causing her chewing movements to be exaggerated and pulling at her wound.

Jun Wuxian reminded her, "Eat slowly, and once the wound heals, it won’t hurt anymore."

Xun Qingqing had been so absorbed in her sorrow over being taken advantage of that only now did she remember Mei Yisi had cut her face with a Dagger. Wouldn’t her face be...

"I want to see a mirror."

This time Jun Wuxian didn’t comply, "Eat first, then look."

Xun Qingqing had a bad feeling and insisted, "I want to see now."

She became so agitated that she aggravated her wound again, pain bringing her close to tears.

Jun Wuxian frowned, "Your face is bandaged; even if you looked in a mirror, you wouldn’t be able to see much. Eat first, and then we can talk slowly."

Xun Qingqing touched her face. Indeed, as Jun Wuxian said, looking in a mirror wouldn’t reveal anything.

So, she decided to heed Jun Wuxian’s advice and eat first.

Picking up her chopsticks again, she ate very carefully, afraid of hurting the wound.

Xun Qingqing managed to eat a few bites of food before she couldn’t help asking, "Why haven’t you come to the Capital for half a year?"

Jun Wuxian’s answer was succinct, "I had matters to attend to."

Xun Qingqing continued to inquire, "Then why did you suddenly come back?"

"Came back for a spin," Jun Wuxian’s reply remained concise.

Xun Qingqing uttered a low "Oh," "I thought you weren’t coming."

Seeing that she had almost finished eating, Jun Wuxian finally asked, "The person who kidnapped you, do you know him?"

Xun Qingqing nodded, "I know him; he came to my house to propose marriage and I rejected him. I’ve rejected him several times, and he dared... to treat me that way. I’m the legitimate daughter of a general. Once I get back, I must tell my father, have him arrested, thrown into jail, and then... then disfigure him and cripple him."

As Xun Qingqing spoke, she became increasingly angry, wishing she could flay him alive.

"I killed him."

Jun Wuxian’s casually uttered sentence stunned Xun Qingqing for a moment.

Jun Wuxian continued somberly, "Before killing him, I did everything you just mentioned. Does that feel satisfying to you?"

Still in shock, Xun Qingqing hadn’t expected that Jun Wuxian would commit murder just to seek revenge for her.
