Volume 1 Chapter 158 Guess right
"Girl, are you awake?"
"Wake up, come in, Xiaoyue."
After Xu Yunjin finished speaking, Gao Xiaoyue pushed the door and entered the house.
"Ah, she's awake too, girl, is she alright?"
Gao Xiaoyue looked at the woman lying on the bed with her eyes open and asked.
"It's okay, you can get some water to help her wash up later, what about my eldest brother and them, are you awake?"
Xu Yunjin wrung out the handkerchief and wiped his face and asked, I didn't hear any movement in the yard this morning.
"Not yet, the third uncle said that the eldest prince was drunk and confused when he came back yesterday, and Han Gongzi didn't come back, he rested at Yuefu Restaurant last night."
Seeing that Xu Yunjin had finished washing, Gao Xiaoyue stepped forward and combed her with a convenient hairstyle.
The master and servant are not very good at combing their hair, and Gao Xiaoyue is only a little better than Xu Yunjin.
On weekdays, Xu Yunjin is responsible for the makeup and dressing up when he goes out, but most of the time Xu Yunjin does it casually.
After waiting for Xu Yunjin to finish freshening up, Gao Xiaoyue fetched water again to wash Pei Ran's face and hands.
Pei Ran was very uncomfortable with being touched, and it was seven or eight years ago that she was served, so she politely refused Gao Xiaoyue who wanted to wash her face.
Xu Yunjin also saw Pei Ran's discomfort, and only instructed Gao Xiaoyue to hand the wrung out handkerchief to Pei Ran.
"Girl, what do you want to eat, this morning the inn sent some porridge, meat buns, and snacks, and I warmed them all on the stove in the small kitchen."
After Pei Ran finished washing, Gao Xiaoyue went out to pour the water before asking Xu Yunjin what they wanted to eat for breakfast.
"Just drink some porridge, she can't eat anything else now, I'll go out to eat by myself, you bring the rice in and let Sister Ah Ran eat some."
After Xu Yunjin finished speaking, he showed Pei Ran the wound again, and then went out of the room to have breakfast.
Xu Yunjin woke up not long after eating, and saw that his eldest brother's face was not very good, and it was estimated that it was the sequelae of drunkenness for the first time.
Xu Yunjin gave Xu Yunnan some medicine, and prescribed medicine to Pei Ran, and asked Yuan San to grab the medicine before practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
Xu Yunjin has never slackened off in the matter of practicing martial arts, even when he was on the road a few days ago, he got up early in the morning to box.
There was already breakfast in the house, and Pei Ran, who was lying alone on the bed, listened to the sound of whips coming from outside and didn't know what he was thinking.
Xu Yunjin sweated and took a shower after practicing martial arts before returning to the room where Pei Ran was, and as soon as he sat down, he heard Han Shaozhi's voice.
"Xiaoyue, what about your girl, it can't be that she hasn't woken up yet, right?"
Han Shao ran into the courtyard in a hurry, but he didn't see Xu Yunjin, who was sitting and reading a book in the courtyard as usual, and was a little puzzled.
"Master Han, the girl is in my room, there is still a person in the house..."
Before Gao Xiaoyue finished speaking, Han Shaozhi had already entered her room, she shrugged and turned around and walked away.
"Ah Jin, it's a big deal, there's something big going on in the city."
Han Shaozhi didn't see any more people in the room when he came in, and he didn't ask her why she wasn't in his room, so he rushed to sit down opposite Xu Yunjin.
"What are you so happy about?"
The smile on Han Shaozhi's face was almost unbearable, and Xu Yunjin was very curious.
"Tsk, I don't know who the Bao family offended, last night they entered the small courtyard where they were resting, the thief was strong in martial arts, killed more than half of the Bao family's guards, I heard that he also stabbed Bao Xian, the doctor said that the person was only a little short of dead."
As soon as Han Shaozhi finished speaking, he felt that the air was a little quiet, Xu Yunjin looked at Pei Ran on the bed for a moment, and the eyes of the two collided in the air.
Xu Yunjin had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show his face, this Ah Ran was seriously injured last night, there must have been a fierce battle, it should be ......
Seeing that she seems to be about the same age as the orphan girl of the Pei family, the Bao family has taken over so many businesses of the Pei family.
To say that the Bao family did not make any effort in the Pei family's affairs, Xu Yunjin didn't believe it.
Then this Ah Ran, won't it be ......
Pei Ran heard that the son of the Bao family was not dead
Then his eyes flashed, and the hand hidden in the quilt tightened.
"The Bao family has reported to the authorities, and now the government is searching for the assassin all over the city, and I heard that the assassin was seriously injured, and I don't know where he fled."
Han Shaozhi didn't pay attention to Xu Yunjin's gaze and continued to take care of himself.
"Hey, did you say that this Bao family did a lot of evil and was retaliated against by the enemy."
"Perhaps."
Xu Yunjin said lightly, and the room was quiet, and only then did Han Shaozhi notice that there was a third person's breathing in the room.
"Hey, there's a woman in this room, why don't you tell me, who is she?"
Han Shaozhi turned around and saw Pei Ran lying on the bed, so frightened that he jumped up from his position.
"You don't look at it when you enter the door yourself, this is my new friend yesterday, I'm a little unwell and I'm here to rest for a while, okay, the gossip is over, hurry up and pack your things, we will go back to Jiujiang tomorrow."
Xu Yunjin glanced at Han Shaozhi and kicked the person out.
"We'll leave Jinping tomorrow, you... Do you want to come with us?"
Xu Yunjin has now determined that the woman named Ah Ran is the assassin, and even suspects that she is the child of the Pei family back then.
Since she had this suspicion, she couldn't be left in the dangerous place of Jinping Mansion City.
"You know I did it?" Pei Ran looked at Xu Yunjin's eyes and asked.
"I guessed it." Xu Yunjin also replied honestly.
"Then why don't you hand me over to the government, it will only be a trouble to take me with you."
Pei Ran was very calm, but she suddenly had a strong urge in her heart to ask this question.
"I have never been soft on the wicked." Xu Yunjin looked directly into Pei Ran's eyes and said seriously.
"Then it seems that I am not a pure bad person in Ah Jin's eyes, will you persuade me to put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot?"
Pei Ran suddenly chuckled when he heard Xu Yunjin's answer and asked.
"Have you ever regretted it?" Xu Yunjin asked suddenly.
"I have no regrets, slashing enemies is the purpose of my life."
Pei Ran didn't know why, she just wanted to chat with this little girl who was several years younger than her.
"I have always believed in karma, today's results are the causes of the previous race, if it were me, I would do the same, even if this road is not easy to follow, and even more people will die, but I will not persuade people to say when it is time to retribution, because there is no real empathy in the world."
Pei Ran suddenly shed two lines of tears when he heard Xu Yunjin's words, and muttered:
"yes, it's all karma."
"Sister Pei Ran, let's leave with us tomorrow, Jinping is not safe now."
Xu Yunjin also called out the name directly, and sure enough, the woman in front of him froze.
"How does Ah Jin know that my surname is Pei?" Pei Ran didn't want to hide it, and frankly admitted his identity.
"Our family's ceramic workshop is this year's official kiln, and I happened to hear about the Pei family yesterday, so I knew something, and it was the Bao family who was assassinated, so I guessed it, and it seems that I expected it to be true."
Xu Yunjin explained, Pei Ran knew the reason, and it turned out that he was walking with her family.
"The Bao family is now attached to the He family, and the power is not small, you will definitely have officers and soldiers to patrol with me, and you may not be able to get out of the city gate safely, I can't even affect you."
The Bao family died so many people this time, although they were all guarded by the Bao family's subordinates, but in order to calm the impact of this incident, the city gate is bound to be strictly investigated.
"You don't have to worry about this, I am the second-grade county lord of the Holy Lord, although I have no real power, but they don't dare to embarrass me, besides, my father is also an official, our family is still an imperial businessman, and the prefect will give us a face."
Pei Ran has been away from the world for nearly ten years, and in order to take revenge, she has been a maid for a strange nun in the ancient temple in the deep mountains for nearly ten years, and at the same time, she has also learned her martial arts.
She knew that the strange nun was not a bad person, otherwise she would not patiently teach her to practice martial arts, thinking of whether the strange nun resented her before she died, Pei
