puff!
Lin Shan understood instantly, stretched out his still-movable hand, and slapped him. Lin Xi screamed, "Boss, what did I say wrong?"
"What do you know!"
Lin Xi was beaten so badly that he dared not say anything more. He helped him to meet Pei Hai who was rushing out. Pei Hai stopped and looked at his wound carefully. "Who on earth is he to have caused you this injury?"
Lin Shan grinned, "Don't worry, Uncle Hai, these are just superficial injuries."
"What a lie!"
Pei Hai's eyes were stern and his face was unhappy. "The killing power of a crossbow is higher than that of a bow and arrow. Don't be so playful. Go to the master first to report that you are safe. I have sent someone to invite Doctor Zhao and Doctor Sun outside to wait. After receiving the master's instructions, don't delay and go and treat your injuries yourself."
After saying this, he walked towards the outer door without stopping.
"I didn't expect that the young lady's subordinate Yu Cheng is quite capable. Are you going to tell the master about this later?"
"nature!"
What can you hide in front of the master?
When they arrived at Zhengxian Pavilion, Pei Jian first looked at his wound and asked about the depth. Lin Shan told him the truth, "The wound on the chest was off-center, not very deep. The arrow behind it, we were so close, it almost penetrated."
"You haven't walked by the river for a long time, and you were panicked when this guy suddenly appeared."
Pei Jian asked Linxi to put on his coat, waved Linxi away, and asked Linshan to sit down, "What's the situation? Tell me everything in detail."
Linshan was also not vague and spoke clearly.
During this time, Pei Jian said nothing and listened to Lin Shan's detailed report. Finally, Lin Shan said, "Master, the young lady and I both recognized that figure. It was Yu Cheng who was in front of Miss Jin."
"Yu Cheng?"
Lin Shan nodded.
"How did Guan Zhou know that? She must have never seen this person before."
"Master, do you still remember that the last time your cousin disappeared, the young lady was very sure that she led her subordinates to the princess's villa. Maybe they met at that time."
Although Linshan remembered that Yu Cheng did not show up that time.
But there was a chance that he might be caught by the young lady while spying secretly.
Little did he know that Xiaohu, the servant of Qingmei Garden, had drawn a portrait which depicted the main features of Yu Cheng's face. Song Guanzhou generalized the whole thing based on a single point, and combined with his premonition of what Jin Fuyun would do today, he cheated Linshan and got the picture without any effort.
"Guan Zhou is smart, but Jin Fuyun is not that good in comparison."
Pei Jian made such an evaluation, but Lin Shan disagreed. He whispered, "But Jin Fuyun can be so cruel. I'm afraid that the reason why she treated the cousin was because the young lady said that the cousin was 50% similar to her. If the cousin fell into the dust, she could easily use this to shake the foundation of the young lady's reputation."
At this point, Lin Shan sighed, "The two thieves under Yu Cheng are quite capable. Even if the young lady took the initiative and exposed their master as Jin Fuyun, they were only distracted for a moment, and the next moment they immediately drew their knives--"
Pei Jian heard this and nodded slightly.
He looked out the window with a bit of contempt on his face, "Jin Meng's daughter really inherited his true teachings. Well, have you told He Wenhan about this?"
Lin Shan hesitated for a moment and shook his head slowly.
"Young Madam has instructed our subordinates not to mention the identities of any suspects and to pretend they know nothing about it, leaving it to Lord He to investigate personally."
"Guanzhou did the right thing on this point."
Pei Jian nodded slightly, "Shou'an has been a gentle and refined man his whole life, and his mother-in-law is also dignified and quiet. I never thought that she would give birth to such a heroine. From the first time she jumped into the water to rescue Fang'er and her servant, to the time she fell into the waterfall later, I have never heard that she did it on purpose, but she was able to draw her sword to help when she saw that the road was uneven. What a courage!"
Seeing that Linshan was weak, Pei Jian asked Linxi to take him to see a doctor.
Outside, Pei Chen and Xiao Bei asked to see each other at the same time, and Pei Jian agreed. The two came in and talked about what happened today. After listening, Pei Jian asked Pei Chen a few questions, "Did anyone in the mansion spread the news?"
"Father, what message...what message?"
Pei Chen glanced at Xiao Bei, somewhat confused, and stuttered as he looked at the Duke, who slowly took a sip of tea, "Linchuan, go call the second brother's family over."
The Crown Prince's Wife——
Linchuan came to the prince's main room, where Xiao Yinxiu was sulking. Aunt Chu and Shuangyue didn't dare to say anything. Seeing this, the two brothers who had just finished school also ran to Qin'er's house and stayed with their brother.
"What? I'm their mother? Why are you running away?"
Shuangyue dragged her hot body to Xiao Yinxiu and whispered to her, "Madam, please don't be angry. Although I didn't burn incense and pray to Buddha properly today, at least nothing serious happened..."
"Isn't it a big deal? Do you know that the news will spread all over the capital tomorrow that the fourth young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, who looks like a demon, was chased by a few thieves in Longen Temple!"
She was furious and started cursing at Shuangyue.
"I know you are just a servant, you don't know what the future holds, you think the second young lady is the only one waiting to get married in the mansion, it doesn't matter if you are a burden, but is this the truth?"
Shuang Yue knelt down with a plop, "I dare not."
When she was about to scold him again, Aunt Chu couldn't bear it and stepped forward to pretend to scold Shuangyue, "Your face is red, do you have a high fever?"
After saying that, his hand had already touched Shuangyue's forehead.
"You stupid girl, you have a high fever and you don't know how to avoid it. If you tell my wife and brothers, I will skin you alive."
Xiao Yinxiu was even more disgusted when she heard this, and Aunt Chu also said, "Madam, let this rotten hoof go out and hide away."
"Go ahead, you are all useless."
Xiao Yinxiu was full of displeasure. Shuangyue kowtowed with tears in her eyes before leaving the main room and bumping into Linchuan who came to report. "This is——"
Shuang Yue wiped her tears with her backhand and said, "If you have anything to say, just go find the little girl."
She didn't look at Linchuan, but stumbled back into the house, covering her face and crying. The maids heard the noise but didn't dare to say a word. They just went out and quietly closed the door for Shuangyue.
Linchuan caught a little maid outside and reported it to Xiao Yinxiu. When Xiao Yinxiu heard the master calling her, she became even more annoyed.
But I can't refuse.
She had no choice but to stand up and let Aunt Chu fix her hair and makeup in a hurry. After making sure nothing was wrong, she left the house. "What did the master call me for?"
Linchuan shook his head.
"The Crown Prince and the Fourth Young Master of the North are in the Master's study. I heard the Master's order and rushed to you to pass on the message."
Linchuan is the most tactful person and rarely makes mistakes in his words.
Xiao Yinxiu was unhappy, but she didn't dare to let anyone see it. She quickly came to Zhengxian Pavilion. Pei Jian let her in. After greeting and sitting down, Pei Jian asked, "Has anyone in the mansion gone to the Jin family or the princess' villa in the past few days?"
what?
Xiao Yinxiu's heart suddenly started beating fast.
She didn't know why her uncle suddenly asked about this, so she could only answer carefully, "Uncle, it's just a normal exchange. My birthday is in July, and the eldest lady sent a gift earlier. I felt that the two families were not close friends, so I sent someone to return the gift."
"Just that?"
