Chapter 166: Prisoner (1)
Several people arrived on the carriage smoothly, and Caifeng was busy helping Shen Ji treat the wound on his neck.
He Mian'er knew that Shen Ji was injured because of herself, and she couldn't help it, but Shen Ji's expression was calm, as if it was not him who was injured.
He only said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have written down the appearance of that person, if I can meet him again, Shen Ji will definitely be able to recognize that person." β
Although Shen Ji has never forgotten it, but in the vast sea of people, how can he succeed again if he goes to find such a murderer.
When I returned home, it happened that Yingzi was in the courtyard, and when I saw Shen Ji like this, I blamed myself very much.
He Mian'er had to comfort her and said, "It's no wonder you, since the enemy is coming at us, you are there, and the other party will still have a way." Now, no matter what, after all, it's a little more vigilant. β
At the moment, he gave an order to everyone in the house, to be more careful every day, and if he was not sure, he told his superiors that he must not act without authorization, so as not to be caught.
Everyone in the house said yes, and they were much more cautious than before.
He Mian'er even asked someone to summon the nearby Imperial History of the city patrol to report the matter, and Shen Ji described the appearance of the prisoner.
The leader only said: "If there is news, the little one will definitely inform His Highness as soon as possible." β
The people sent them away, and He Mian'er's heart was especially uneasy. This is really what Shen Ji said before, the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light.
After all, open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, so you must not worry.
Yingzi looked at He Mian'er and frowned, thinking that she was worried about another matter, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Don't be sad, my senior brother has argued with the old lady on the basis of reason, and within three days, he will be able to withdraw from the marriage." β
As soon as these words came out, He Mian'er only smiled slightly, not caring at all.
That Shen Ji raised his neck slightly, secretly calculating in his heart.
And Xu Yunqing at this moment, as Yingzi said, in Xu's mansion, he had a red face and a thick neck when he had trouble with his mother.
Xu Yunqing has always been filial, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is obedient to what her mother said. It was the first time in his life that he had such an argument with his mother.
"Mother, you know that I have a son. If the child marries again, how can he be worthy of Mian'er. β
Xu Yunqing fell to his knees, trying to persuade him.
Mrs. Xu is used to being the master of the house, and she will not allow anyone to provoke her.
He Mian'er lost her face before, and now she heard that He Mian'er was going to choose a husband, and she immediately chose someone to go to propose marriage.
"Since you are a filial person, you should be considerate of my mother, I am old, and I want to have a daughter-in-law who knows the warmth and cold. Your sister-in-law is weak, and I don't use it, and this general's mansion also needs someone to manage. β
Old Madam Xu didn't answer Xu Yunqing's words when she opened her mouth, and only sighed. said: "I said it well that day, weddings and funerals have nothing to do with it." Since she can remarry, you can remarry, what is there to be sorry for, to be worthy. β
After that, he beckoned the maid under his hand to present a portrait, and smiled at Xu Yunqing and said, "Look, this is the second girl of the Bai family, do you like it?" This is a well-informed lady. β
Between the words, I was satisfied with what this white jade smoke was.
Xu Yunqing just didn't see the person, his eyes were full of pain, and he arched his hand to his mother and said: "In the past, Liu Tianshi once said that Yunqing was a lifeless character without a wife and no children, and her mother was like this, she harmed others in vain. β
When the old lady heard this, she was furious, and said, "What kind of frustrating words, you also believe these nonsense." Don't you want to be angry and die? β
At the moment, he cried and cried: "Your father went early, and the eldest brother is short-lived, and the mother is looking forward to you getting married as soon as possible, do you really not let your mother feel comfortable?" β
Xu Yunqing has always been filial, and now seeing her mother like this, she knows that she can't force her mother anymore, so she can only wait for the future and take her time to persuade her.
At this time, He Mian'er, who was in the house, received a letter from his subordinates.
This letter is quite strange, there is no handwriting on the letter, He Mian'er asked the concierge carefully, only to say that it was sent by a child on the side of the road.
Today's share of Shen Ji's matter, He Mian'er is very cautious, lest someone do anything about this letter.
When I opened the letter carefully, I saw that it was a letter written by Bai Yuyan, the second lady of the Bai family, who only said that He Mian'er would meet at Wanyue Lake in the east of the city at three o'clock tomorrow morning, and there was something important to discuss.
He Mian'er only felt ridiculous in her heart, probably because this woman had heard some rumors about her and Xu Yunqing, and she was afraid that she wanted to discuss it with herself.
Or she wants to give herself a dismissal, but in any case, she won't go to this appointment.
After all, she really didn't know what the need for her to meet with this person.
"Miss, who wrote this letter?" Caifeng, who was helping the young lady massage, asked casually.
He Mian'er didn't want to share it with others, so she shook her head and said, "It's not important." Caifeng then shut up sensibly.
Saying that, He Mian'er beckoned someone to come and asked him to send the letter directly to Xu Yunqing, and advised: "By the way, help Princess Ben bring a word, just say, let the Xu family take care of their fiancΓ©e." β
The person who delivered the letter left, and He Mian'er carefully searched in her mind for Bai Yuyan, the second lady of the Bai Ren family, who was from the Hanlin Academy of the Sipin Family, but she didn't have the slightest impression.
It's probably a lady who doesn't like to go out. He Mian'er secretly guessed in her heart.
On this day, it was probably Shen Ji recuperating from his injuries, and the big and small things in the house, all the people in the house reported to He Mian'er, which made her dizzy, and she felt that Shen Ji was really not easy.
When I fell asleep this night, I thought in my heart, what Yingzi said during the day, Xu Yunqing and the old lady fought with reason, I am afraid that it will be ninety percent useless.
In a blink of an eye, I thought of it, that Situ Han didn't know who instructed him, could it be that he was in the same group as the person who attacked Shen Ji today?
If you had known this, you should have left that man behind, and he would have been able to ask for some signs from his mouth.
Thinking about it, it was probably a lot of daytime things, and I was confused, but I quickly fell asleep.
When he was about to arrive, it was already sunset outside, and He Mian'er had consciousness, but she was woken up from her sleep by someone outside.
She only felt that her body was sore, and she was going to call Caifeng in and ask what was the matter.
After calling twice, she didn't notice that there was someone, and her ears heard that the noise outside was getting louder and louder, and she didn't care about putting on these young ladies' heads, and she took care of dressing herself.
Pushing open the door, I saw a team of people, already in the courtyard of the princess's mansion. The leader looked like a person from the Criminal Department.
Shen Ji, Caifeng, Yingzi and others, with a group of guards, were reasoning with those people.
"What's the noise?" He Mian'er only asked in a dignified voice. After all, there must be something strange about these people being able to go to the courtyard of the princess's mansion inexplicably.
"Your Royal Highness, a fishing boat fished up a female corpse in Wanyue Lake today, and it was identified as Bai Yuyan, the second lady of the Bai family. After investigation, the eldest princess is quite suspicious in this case, and hopes that Her Royal Highness the princess can make it convenient for the villain. β
The people in the criminal department spoke respectfully and respectfully, and they did not leak.
"Your Royal Highness is the eldest princess, you have no evidence, you say that if you want to take it away, you will take it away, what is the reason?" Shen Ji didn't care about his injuries, and immediately retorted.
