There was a very strong aroma in his nose, and Xie Qian subconsciously raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and opened the two doors to the maximum.

Then he walked in.

When the mother-in-law who had just arrived at the courtyard saw this scene, her face was shocked, and she hurriedly hid behind the rockery on the side.

The door of the warm pavilion was wide open, and most of the fragrance inside was blown away by the cold wind, and the light emitted by the colorful lights hanging high under the porch made the eyes of the room barely visible.

Xie Qian saw Xu Wanxi lying on the ground behind the screen.

and Zhu Xizhou, who was reclining on the couch, his ink hair slightly wet and his eyes closed.

Sensing that he had stepped on something under his feet, Xie Qian bent down to pick it up.

It was a very delicate porcelain vase.

And the fragrance of this porcelain vase is not unfamiliar to him—whether it was when he was studying in the academy or now when he is carrying out official business, he will also have it on him.

Among the scholars in the Jiangnan area, it is very common to carry this thing on their bodies.

Xie Qian set his gaze on the young man who was leaning there.

If someone helped him over and was drugged, he would not have been able to lean here in such a posture, and he would not have had a chance to take out this object at all.

Everything points to an explanation – the man woke up halfway through.

Thinking of this, he looked at the teapot in Xu Wanxi's hand that had broken into several petals.

“……”

Xie Qian pursed his thin lips slightly, and in the next moment, he raised his hand and grabbed Zhu Xizhou's collar and dragged the person off the couch.

The mother-in-law hiding behind the rockery saw that the son of the Zhu family was dragged out, and was unceremoniously dragged down the stone steps by the master Xie who had a cold face and did not squint, as if he was holding only a dead thing in his hand, and threw it in the courtyard, almost screaming.

And the next moment, she saw Na Xie turn around and enter the house.

Zhu Xizhou, who was heavily thrown on the ground, seemed to be a little more awake and moved his arm slightly.

After a while, Xie Qian strode out again, but there was an extra 'thing' on his shoulder, and he wrapped it tightly with the black cloak that he had untied from his body, so that people couldn't see the description at all.

Even if the corners of her clothes were never exposed, her mother-in-law knew that it must be her second girl.

Seeing that Xie Qian closed the door again and strode down the stone steps, the mother-in-law was so anxious that her head was full of sweat.

She originally thought that if someone found out about the second girl's 'ugly thing', she would have to make a fuss, but what kind of movement did this Lord Xie make a fuss?

The other party's posture is clearly trying to protect the second girl and leave!

If she watched people being resisted, Madame's plan might be in vain!

But when I show up at this time, I am afraid of getting into trouble!

When the mother-in-law was in a dilemma, she suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from far and near.

…… Isn't it under the arrangement of my wife, someone came over?!

The mother-in-law's heart was beating wildly, and her whole body was tense, but she still didn't dare to show up, and only watched Xie move out of the gate of the Crane Tower.

"This ......!"

Wan, who arrived here with a group of female dependents, exclaimed half-truthfully.

The lights outside the Crane Tower were bright, and Xie Qian's obvious situation of carrying a person on his back was clearly visible.

Seven or eight ladies and a group of maids and servants all had different faces.

"Why is Lord Xie here...... Wan Shi said in a surprised tone: "What Lord Xie is carrying on his shoulders is not my family-"

"It's not a descendant of the Dingguo Mansion."

Xie Qian interrupted her words and looked at everyone: "It's the little guy next to me." ”

Wan looked at him with a changeable expression.

Xie Qian also fixed his eyes on her, and his eyes seemed to be a little colder than this winter night.

Under such a gaze, Wan's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

She was too anxious and unwilling...... As soon as his brain was hot, he opened his mouth to shout out Xu Wanxi's name...... The other party cut off her words in such a timely manner, as if he was aware of her thoughts.

"This is Xie Yushi, right?"

"What's wrong with this little guy?"

"Why didn't there be any movement......

The ladies said in disbelief.

"I was resting in this building, and suddenly a thief sneaked in, and the thief had a dagger in his hand, and I was seriously injured and passed out in order to protect me. Now he is seriously injured, and today is the birthday of the grandfather of the country, and he is afraid of disturbing and bumping into others, so he is wrapped tightly. Xie Qian said to everyone.

Hurt......

That's a good excuse.

Wan Shi looked over, and the questioning words came to his lips, but it was difficult to speak.

She saw the slowly dripping blood at the feet of that Lord Xie......

Wan secretly clenched his teeth.

This play is very well done!

An outsider...... How can you do it with such a heart!

The ladies were all shocked and their faces changed.

"Lord Xie is saying that the thief is in this crane tower?" Wan suppressed his thoughts and asked with a frightened face.

"I have escaped in the process of fighting with my men, but I haven't gone far if I want to, so it's better for you ladies to go back to the flower hall as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Shizi, let's go back quickly......"

The crowd looked around, wary and nervous.

At first, they were going back to the flower hall, but they just met Mrs. Shizi, and they had to take them to this attic to take refuge-who knew that they were about to hit the knife, what is this called?

Wan could only nod.

Bian apologized to Xie Qian and said, "This kind of thing happened in the mansion, which really frightened Lord Xie...... Now that someone is injured, I will ask someone to take Master Xie to Dr. Ji. ”

"No need, I know where Dr. Ji lives, Mrs. Shizi should go back as soon as possible."

"......" Wan Shi moved his lips, and before he could say anything else, he watched Xie Qian stride away from here.

She looked into the courtyard and saw the bride-in-law walking out from behind the rockery.

Wan Shi clenched his ten fingers, trying to calm himself down.

Anyway......

Although she failed to make Xu Wanxi ugly in front of outsiders, the news that she disappeared tonight is not a secret internally.

Xie Qian took Xu Wanxi away, but Zhu Xizhou must still be in the courtyard.

And even if Xie Qian takes people away, it is impossible to take them away from the Dingguo Mansion, and it is impossible for Heng Zhu to hide this matter from the world-

Wan Shi accompanied a group of frightened female relatives to leave here, and a new plan quickly began in his mind.

"Uncle Xie Shi......"

After Xie Qian walked out of a distance, the faint voice of a girl sounded in his ears.

"Awake?"

Xie Qian's tone was slightly heavy.

He wasn't in a good mood at the moment.

But the words of the little girl on his shoulder made him laugh uncontrollably.

"Your shoulder hurts me so much......"

Xie Qian let out an "oh", paused slightly, and changed the person to a horizontal hug.

Xu Wanxi struggled to open her eyes and looked at him: "Uncle Xie Shi, it's not what you see......"

"I saw that you were calculated, didn't you?"

"It's just calculated, I was cheated on......," the little girl said, and suddenly said nervously, "Also, I was drugged...... You say, could it be...... It's that kind of medicine, right? ”

"That medicine? You mean...... Aphrodisia-medicine? ”

Xie Qian looked at her in astonishment, then shook his head helplessly.
