Guan Changyu rushed to the south courtyard in a hurry. He originally expected to see the corpse as Guan Ling said. Even the sadness was brewing. When he walked to the west wing, he happened to encounter a pale man who was assassinated by a man in black. The bride ran away. Sorry, Mr. Guan is so angry.
"Brother is in such a hurry, his face doesn't look good..."
Guan Changyu watched his elder brother acting in a hurry and asked him a few questions to confirm the fact whether Guan Heng was dead.
"I almost died last night. My old illness relapsed. I'm relieved today. I was worried that Heng'er would come here to see me." When Guan Changqing thought of what happened last night, his whole face grimaced, "His second uncle came here after hearing about what happened last night. ?”
"After having a drink last night, I went to look for that unfilial son," Guan Changyu immediately responded with a sad expression: "I just returned home and heard that a thief had sneaked into the house..."
"I shouldn't have agreed to this marriage in the first place!" Guan Changqing recalled all the sighs yesterday, and became very angry, "It must be bad for the daughter of Tiansha to marry into the Guan Mansion. It would be great to just bury her alive! Now she has made the Guan family famous. What a laughingstock!”
From beginning to end, he believed that all misfortunes were due to Shen Yue.
"Brother, don't be angry. Stay safe. What happened last night?"
Guan Changyu had some wine yesterday and left, taking his servant to find Guan Ling. He really didn't know what happened. If Guan Ling hadn't just said it, he almost missed the show.
"Don't mention it, the thief is fierce, Wu Yiniang ran away, and I almost died in the hands of that thief!" Guan Changqing's face was deep, and his beard was shaking angrily, "If Li Xiao hadn't appeared in time, I might have had to do it now. I collected the corpse!"
"They are extremely hateful!" Guan Changyu seemed to feel the same anger, "If I catch them, they will be quartered!"
"That's all..."
Guan Changqing timidly shook his head and waved his hand to give up and evade.
"How can we let this go?" Guan Changyu fanned the flames, but looked like he was defending his eldest brother, "The Guan family has already been bullied."
"The thief has a token hanging on his waist..." Guan Changqing approached Guan Changyu slightly nervously, and whispered in a low voice: "I'm surprised. I have always been cautious in my words and deeds. Who in the palace wants to get rid of me?"
Guan Changyu said nothing.
——
The mission failed inexplicably, and the system no longer gave Shen Yue a way out. Since she couldn't go back, she had no choice but to put away her sadness and helplessness, find out what happened last night, and continue to fight the male protagonist to the end.
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, when Guan Heng took Shen Yue back home through the back door, he specifically asked Li Yu to invite the doctor to take her pulse in an alley not far away through the carriage curtain.
"what?"
Shen Yue was startled by this sudden pulse check. After all, this scene was mostly seen in dramas where women were pregnant with children.
Guan Heng's lips curved slightly: "Let the doctor take your pulse!"
"No need! I'm strong!"
While saying that, Shen Yue also deliberately showed Guan Heng the muscles in his arms that could not be bulged.
Knowing that she was showing off, she hummed softly, crossed her hands and hid them tightly in her sleeves, and said jokingly: "You don't like women, so I can't get pregnant with Lao Wang's child next door overnight, right? …”
Don't like women?
This information immediately made Ling'er, who was keeping quiet on the side, widen his eyes, and also shocked Li Yu and the doctor outside the carriage.
"If I don't like women, why should I marry a wife?"
In full view of everyone, Guan Heng pressed towards Shen Yue aggressively, breathing heavily, Shen Yue held her breath and leaned back.
Guan Heng took control of her, forcefully pulled her hand out, and stretched it out through the gap in the carriage curtain.
Shen Yue's face froze, and she looked back pitifully and asked Ling'er for help in vain.
The doctor diagnosed Shen Yue's pulse and determined that she had been poisoned by a poison from the Western Regions. This poison was very rare and was colorless and odorless when mixed with wine/water. After drinking it, it would cause confusion and even hallucinations.
However, in the entire Lingzhou City, few people interact with people from the Western Regions, except for a few silk merchants who go to the Western Regions, including Father Shen.
Hearing the doctor's words, Shen Yue's heart trembled and she quickly explained: "That's nonsense. How could I be stupid enough to poison myself?"
Shen Yue looked at Guan Heng innocently.
Guan Heng looked at Shen Yue with a complicated expression.
Immediately afterwards, Guan Heng's eyes conveyed disbelief, as if he believed that Shen Yue had been poisoned, and took advantage of the beautiful night to force himself to consummate the marriage with her.
"You say I'm poisoned, why don't I feel anything at all?" Shen Yue didn't want to admit it. She argued with arguments and questioned the doctor's diagnosis: "Tell me, what are the symptoms of poisoning?"
"After taking this medicine, I lost consciousness and found it difficult to recall the scene at that time."
The doctor hesitated for a long time before uttering a single word, and said euphemistically: "I think I should know the specific symptoms best. After all, when my wife was poisoned, she had a wedding night with me..."
"..."
Wedding night with candles?
With a bad premonition, Shen Yue's expression instantly became cold. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Guan Heng. She just shook her head slowly and looked at Ling'er beside her.
Ling'er naturally knew her young lady's temperament, and her little face became hot. She lowered her eyebrows slightly, approached her, and whispered in her ear: "Miss, there was a lot of noise in the house. I heard that once the poison is taken, Women will..."
"Okay, okay. I understand..."
Soon, Shen Yue understood the message from her expression. He took a deep breath, raised his hand to his forehead, and closed his eyes tightly. He still hasn't figured out what happened last night, and why he closed it again. A hat that can’t be washed away even if you jump into the Yellow River?
Is it possible that the assassination of Guan Heng last night was really an illusion?
"Go back home."
The matter had come to light, and the real culprit of the poisoning had been cleverly pointed at Shen Yue. Guan Heng got up from the carriage with great satisfaction.
Li Yu stood outside the carriage and called out, his voice mostly displeased: "Young madam, get out of the car!"
Shen Yue lifted the car curtain and shouted sternly: "Li Wei, what's your tone?"
I am so angry that I have nowhere to vent my anger. Even if I can't go back, I am still the young lady of the Guan family. Is this guard targeting her just because the young master of the Guan family likes him? Is this a bit unscrupulous?
Is the inner-house struggle about to begin?
"If you behaved yourself last night, I would treat you with courtesy..."
After hearing this, Shen Yue chuckled. After getting off the carriage, she patted Li Yu on the shoulder, showed an uncontrollable smile, and made a pun: "Don't worry, I won't steal your son from you."
“…..”
Somehow, the dull Li Yu couldn't help but shudder when she said those words.
——
As soon as I returned to the room through the back door, the boy came to inform me that Master Guan and Uncle Guan were waiting in the front hall.
Before the bride went to pay her respects, the elders of the Guan family rushed to the courtyard anxiously. It seemed that what happened last night still alarmed them.
Guan Heng went to the front hall to meet them first and asked Ling'er to guard Shen Yue. Without his order, she would never be allowed to leave the wedding room even half a step.
Shen Yue walked around uneasily in the room again. She couldn't recall anything except the dancing and assassination last night. Why did the mission fail?
Ling'er complained: "Miss, you are making me dizzy."
"By the way, you must know what happened last night?" Shen Yue looked back at Ling'er. The person who brought her back to Guan Mansion from another coffin was not only Guan Heng, but also Ling'er. So, she will All hopes are pinned on Ling'er, "Hysteria, are you making it up to deceive others?"
"Miss, you really don't remember anything?"
Pretending to be dumbfounded is Miss Shen's unique skill.
Shen Yue looked sincere: "I really don't remember..."
Ling'er observed the surroundings mysteriously, then closed the doors and windows, and then said: "I heard that assassins sneaked into the Guan Mansion last night. The master of the Guan family almost died in their hands, and the fifth aunt was also killed. Taken away, the most important thing is, I thought everything was over. Unexpectedly, they also killed a carbine to kill the young master of the Guan family..."
Before he finished speaking, Ling'er sighed with a look of embarrassment on his face, "However, the young master of the Guan family has injured his hand and is outnumbered, so he is no match for them..."
"Then what?" Shen Yue followed her narrative and became nervous.
"And thanks to you, miss," Ling'er suddenly said with joy, "it was you who rushed towards me without hesitation, protected him, and even threatened the assassins. If you dare to touch me, you will make them pay with blood!"
"What?"
Shen Yue couldn't laugh or cry at such a plot twist, and even said in a dialect: "I'm crazy, only a turtle would protect that stupid dog!"
