Chapter 1302 Chapter 1302
Xu Lingbai suddenly stood up, and his wide sleeves almost knocked over the inkstone. Xier held the inkstone and the ink inside steady, "Oh, my cousin, please be steady and let me finish what I want to say."
"… Young Madam is fine."
Xu Lingbai was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but slap Xier, "You are younger than Xile, and you can fool me with your words."
"No no no."
Xier quickly shook her head and pushed Xu Lingbai to sit down. "Second Uncle Liu said that Brother Linshan, Sister Rendong, Sister Hehua, and Aunt Zhuang were all injured, especially Brother Linshan, who was covered in blood."
what?
Xu Lingbai's expression suddenly changed, "What about your young mistress? Is she injured?"
"Second Uncle Liu said that the young lady is a capable person, brave and intelligent. She fought with the thieves and was covered in blood, but she had no reason to be afraid. Even her original leg injury did not get worse."
"Really?"
Xu Lingbai's face was full of disbelief, "Have you caught the thief? Has he come back yet? Is he at the door? I'll go pick him up!"
I wanted to get up and go out, but my legs and feet were numb from sitting still for so long.
I took half a step and almost fell.
Xi'er was weak and tried her best to support Xu Lingbai's leaning body. "We are still on the way. Uncle Liu was afraid that the master in the mansion would be worried, so he was sent by the prince to come back and report first."
Xu Lingbai was stiff for a while, waiting for his legs and feet to regain circulation. "I'll go to the concierge and wait. How did this happen?"
Xier shook her head.
"I don't know. When you were studying, I was bored and went to the gatehouse to play with Bie. I happened to meet Uncle Liu who came back. After he reported to the master, he came back to the gatehouse and talked to us little ones."
After listening to this, Xier knew that her cousin cared most about her cousin girl and the young mistress, so she didn't waste any time and trotted over to tell him a brief account.
Xu Lingbai couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to go to Zhengxian Pavilion, but met Pei Hai on the way.
He was a little incoherent, "Uncle Hai..."
"It's okay."
Pei Hai saw Xu Lingbai's worried expression and knew that he must have heard the rumors. "He should be back soon. Madam is fine. Others are injured, but not fatally."
Xu Lingbai was stunned. "Uncle Hai, who... who did this?"
Pei Hai couldn't explain it either.
He shook his head. "Lord He has already gone to Longen Temple to investigate personally. I heard that not only were several people from our house injured, but the study of Master Hongzhao of Longen Temple was also burned down. There were thousands of volumes of scriptures in the book house, which was a heavy loss. It is said that other monks and pilgrims were not injured, so we can't make random guesses about this matter for the time being."
Pei Hai made an exception and said a lot.
Xu Lingbai's eyes were full of confusion. He was a little dazed. His cousin was not competitive, so who could have such a deadly grudge against her?
"Don't worry. If you really can't sit still, go to the concierge. From what Liu Er said, it should be soon."
After Liu Er reported the news, he rode back.
It was almost evening and the sun was setting when the government convoy arrived at the gate in a mighty procession. Xu Lingbai heard the noise and could no longer hold back, so he stepped over the threshold and came forward.
Pei Hua greeted him immediately and said to Pei Chen and Pei An, "I will go first. I will not go in to greet my uncle today."
"Aunt, sister-in-law and sisters are all frightened today, so don't get off the car again. Go back and rest early. I will visit uncle and aunt another day."
Pei An and Pei Chen got off the horses, went to Mrs. Mei's carriage and said goodbye to her.
Mrs. Mei held the two children and said softly, "Chen'er, don't go out to play these days. Don't let the fleeing villain find you. If something happens, I won't be able to explain to your mother."
Then she looked at Pei An, "You have to be on duty every day. I can't stop you from doing things for the court. Don't be dissatisfied every day. Find two more guards to protect you. Don't take it lightly."
She taught earnestly, and Pei Chen and Pei An naturally obeyed her.
Finally, it was Pei Hua's urging that made Mrs. Mei lower the curtain and let her own motorcade bypass the mansion and go to the main gate of the second house.
Xu Lingbai and Xiao Bei met and they got to know each other. Xiao Bei breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, nothing happened."
Xiao Yinxiu and Qi Yueniang also came down one after another. When Xu Lingqiao got off Zhang Fanghui's car, Xu Lingbai could no longer hold back his anxiety. He stepped forward to support his sister and looked at Zhang Fanghui, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Zhang Fanghui nodded slightly.
"We are not in any trouble. It's mainly Guan Zhou who is frightened."
The words sounded a little hollow. Logically, he must have been very frightened, but seeing that Song Guanzhou could eat and laugh, it didn't seem like that.
Xu Lingbai thought, since he had been assassinated, it was natural for him to be frightened.
Xiao Yinxiu kept walking and called out to Qi Yueniang, Pei Qiuyu and Zhang Fanghui, "Let's go back home first." A group of female relatives were standing at the door. Although there were not many people passing by, it was never a good thing to show up in public.
After she finished speaking, she supported Shuangyue and walked straight into the mansion.
Song Guanzhou's carriage was at the end of the queue. Xu Lingqiao walked up to the carriage and called out "Guanzhou". Lianhua opened the curtain and jumped down. "Miss, wait a moment. The young mistress just woke up. Let her son cool down before getting off the carriage."
Such a big heart!
When Pei An came up and was about to get in the car, Song Guanzhou grumbled and seemed to stretch before speaking, "Silang, you don't have to get in. I'll get down."
She saw Pei An through the gap in the curtain.
After saying that, he ordered Qingfang to lift the curtain of the car. She stuck her upper body out with her long braids, and Xu Lingbai didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he actually saw Song Guanzhou.
But when I smelled it carefully, it seemed that my cousin had a fishy smell on her body.
Song Guanzhou was not pretentious and extended his hand to Pei An. Pei An directly hugged her slender waist and moved her directly from the shaft of the cart to under the eaves.
Qingfang, who came down later, walked up to him with a walking stick. Aru had already sent someone to carry the half-conscious Rendong from the carriage at the back back to Shaohua Garden.
As for Linshan and Hehua, they gritted their teeth and walked in.
Linxi supported Linshan all the way, "Do you want to take a break?" As soon as he entered the mansion, he ran to Master Zhengxian Pavilion, but his body was still wrapped in bandages and smelled of blood.
"It is more important to let the master know as soon as possible."
Lin Xi's expression froze for a moment, "Boss, I really didn't expect that Jin Fuyun was so cruel."
"Shh!"
Lin Shan glanced at him, "Be careful with your words, don't say anything nonsense. The young lady didn't mention anything about Miss Jin and Yu Cheng in front of Lord He. But you followed the blood trail from behind, and the back view can be hidden from others, but not from you."
"Of course you can't hide it from me. When my cousin got into trouble, I followed Yu Cheng and Zhu San for many days. I knew what they were doing just by looking at their figures and behaviors. I just can't understand why our young lady had the bad karma to provoke Miss Jin and get so vicious."
Looking back on the matter of the cousin now, it must have been Zhu San who received instructions from the eldest daughter.
Linxi didn't dare to say much, she just looked at Linshan deeply for a few times, and after a long time she blurted out a few words without thinking, "It's not a good thing for a man to be good-looking."
