Chapter 159 Catching Catkins
Seeing Song Ci in his arms not saying anything, Su Zhe became anxious. He pulled her away and looked around, frowning and saying:
"But where is it hurt?"
Seeing his anxious look, Song Ci felt a pang of pain in his heart and hot tears fell uncontrollably.
Su Zhe was even more anxious now. His face turned pale with fear and he kept shouting:
"Doctor! Doctor! Quick!"
The palace doctor came along with Qin and the others in the carriage. Upon hearing this, he quickly stepped forward to check Song Ci's pulse!
Song Ci then burst out laughing and looked at Su Zhe and said, "I'm fine! Idiot!"
The doctor finished taking the patient's pulse and bowed.
"Master, the young lady is fine."
Su Zhe heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He then realized that he had been hugging Song Ci tightly, and quickly let go. He stepped aside with an embarrassed look on his face, saying awkwardly:
"understood."
A trace of loss flashed across Song Ci's eyes.
Su Li and Qin looked at this scene and shook their heads.
"Fool!"
……
Return to the general's mansion and settle down.
The mistress of the house and the young master were attacked when they went out, and the general's mansion was bound to be in turmoil again.
Mr. Fei personally took the pulse of Su Li and Huan Ge'er.
Brother Huan is fine, except that he caught a cold after falling into the water and was exposed to the wind.
Su Li suffered internal injuries and needed to lie down for a few days.
Pei Heng personally took care of her until she rested, and repeatedly reminded her to take medicine before going out to do some work.
At the same time, Qin Chuan had brought people to search all the shops and villas under Liu Xu's name, and the Jinyuan Marquis Mansion was also secretly watched.
Seeing Pei Heng coming, Qin Chuan, who was hiding in the dark, said:
"General, we've searched everywhere but haven't caught him. We've only searched the General's Mansion. We've been hiding in the dark and watching, but we haven't seen Liu Xu come in or out."
Pei Heng dismounted with a solemn expression.
"Let's go into the house."
The Marquis's wife was shocked when she saw Pei Heng and his men suddenly rush in.
"W-what are you doing?"
Pei Heng waved his hand, and Qin Chuan and others led their people to the backyard.
"Brother Heng, you've never been to my house since the division of the mansion, yet now you're barging in with your servants. Do you still have eyes for the mansion, or for me, your mother?"
The Marquis' wife was about to stop him, but Pei Heng interrupted her coldly:
"Mother? When have you ever treated me like your son? There's no need to say such hypocritical words here. Search for me! I'll turn the mansion upside down today and find Liu Xu for me!"
Seeing how cold-hearted he was, the Marquis's wife felt sorry for him.
"Liu Xu? Brother Heng, what happened? Your father went to court, and your third brother went to the government office, and you took advantage of their absence to bring people home and start yelling and making trouble. How disgraceful is this!?"
Pei Heng was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.
Sitting in the hall drinking tea coldly.
At this time, the old lady hurried over after hearing the news.
As soon as he entered the door, he asked repeatedly: "Brother Heng, what's going on?"
Pei Heng's expression softened slightly when he saw the old lady. He stood up and helped the old lady sit down before saying:
"Grandmother, Aunt Liu assassinated A-Li and Huan-ge'er. I want to capture her and question her."
"What? Assassination? Are Li'er and Huan'er okay?"
The old lady was shocked and quickly asked what happened.
"Don't worry, Grandma. Ah Li has suffered a minor injury and is recuperating at home. Huan Ge'er is fine."
The Marquis's wife looked incredulous and came forward and said:
"Impossible! How could it be possible? She's a weak woman, how could she possibly do something like assassination! Brother Heng, you must be mistaken!"
Pei Heng snorted coldly, "A-Li and Huan-ge'er saw it with their own eyes, how could it be fake? Liu Xu is a weak woman? Are you blind or is she too deceptive?"
"You'd better pray that Pei Yan isn't involved. Otherwise, don't blame me for killing my own relatives for the sake of justice!"
The Marquis's face was frozen and she was in a trance for a long time. Seeing Pei Heng's stern expression and that he didn't seem to be lying, she began to panic. She grabbed Madam Qian and asked:
"What about her?"
Nanny Qian shook her head.
Liu Xu has been extremely arrogant recently, coming and going as she pleases. Piaoxiangyuan has been completely replaced by her own people, and no one in the mansion dares to ask about her whereabouts.
"Where's the Marquis? Where's Yan'er? Is he back?"
The servants also shook their heads.
The Marquis hasn't returned from court yet, and the Third Young Master... hasn't been seen for several days.
Madam Hou cried out, rushed towards Pei Heng and said:
"Brother Heng, I have no idea what Madam Liu did outside. If you want to arrest her, then arrest her. Your father, your third brother, and I have nothing to do with her. For the sake of our family, you have to help us."
Pei Heng grabbed Madam Hou's fingers and pried them apart one by one, saying coldly:
"If it weren't for my father, grandmother, and this whole family, I wouldn't be the one coming here today!"
According to his idea, the prefectural government should come to arrest the person, and then issue an arrest warrant to capture Liu Xu at the ends of the earth.
But what Ali said makes sense.
Looking at the old lady in the hall, and the second and third wives who had rushed over after hearing the news, the whole family was so proud and happy. In the end, he couldn't bear to do it.
The Marquis's wife understood, wiped her tears, and told Madam Qian:
"Go, take people to look for her. You may not find this bitch for me. Also, quickly get the mansion register, I want to remove her from the list. From today on, that bitch has nothing to do with our mansion!"
"This bitch, I've already said she has a questionable background and is unruly. I've always been against her entering the mansion. Smash and throw away all the things in Piaoxiang Courtyard. From now on, no one in the mansion is allowed to mention this person again!"
When the time came, the Marquis's wife quickly calmed down.
That bitch Liu Xu hasn't brought any glory to the Marquis' Mansion with all her troubles this year, and has only caused trouble.
The old lady stomped her dragon-headed cane and cursed:
"What a sin! What a sin!"
At this time, Qin Chuan brought people back to report:
"General, we've searched the entire mansion, but there's no trace of Madam Liu."
Madam Hou hurriedly provided a clue:
"The shop! She must be hiding in the shop. Also, she used to live in my villa in the south of the city. Go look for her there!"
Pei Heng frowned. His mother changed her mind faster than turning the pages of a book! She was so heartless and ungrateful. No wonder she treated him like that.
"go!"
As soon as Pei Heng left, the Marquis's wife said to Madam Qian:
"Hurry up and send someone to find the Marquis' Mansion and bring it back. Also, send someone out to find Yan'er and have him hide quickly. I'm afraid that the King of Hell Pei Heng is going to kill someone!"
At the same time, in a cave in the mountains outside the city.
Pei Yan looked at Liu Xu, who was dressed in black, and said angrily:
"Stupid! Absolutely stupid!"
"I sent someone to assassinate Pei Huan, and you followed him! What on earth are you trying to do?"
Liu Xu was also secretly afraid at this moment.
Originally, she firmly believed that with her dozen guns, killing Su Li and Pei Huan would be easy, but she happened to meet King Kang on the way, who disrupted her plans again and again.
"I just don't believe it. I can't kill her!"
Liu Xu grabbed the musket beside him and was about to leave the cave. Pei Yan grabbed him and said angrily:
"You don't want your life!"
"You've shown your face, and Pei Heng has already been targeting you. He's leading people to hunt you down everywhere. If you go out now, you'll be courting death!"
"It's better to let your subordinates do this kind of thing. You insisted on doing it yourself, and now you're done! Not only did you not kill the person, but you also exposed yourself. Liu Xu, where's your brain!"
"If this ruins Prince Jing's plans, even ten of you wouldn't be enough to pay for it!"
Pei Yan became angrier the more he scolded.
When he first met Liu Xu, he felt that she was different from all the other women around him. Her ideas were so novel that she could come up with an amazing idea in the blink of an eye.
She opened a shop, made muskets, and improved the formula of gunpowder. Each of these things could be called a remarkable woman, and he was filled with admiration for her.
But such a remarkable woman could not escape love, hate and passion after all.
After all, women are unable to handle important responsibilities.
"Humph, I'm going to kill her with my own hands! Kill Pei Huan! And Li Wei! They killed my Ping Ge'er, and I want them to pay with their lives! What? Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Ping'er is my son! He's also your son!"
"Pei Yan, you coward!"
Liu Xu's eyes were red, and the hatred that had been suppressed for a long time surged up at this moment, making her unable to control herself and her whole body tremble.
