After the marriage, the sick and weak husband fell off the horse

Although the groom is inconspicuous, he is definitely one of the important servants to the nobles.

Many secrets and the safety of the nobles are closely related to the grooms, so generally the grooms of wealthy families use families who know everything to give birth to their children.

And this boy is not considered a groom, at best he can only be regarded as the groom's deputy.

"Kill." Lin Jingrong said it calmly, as if he was not talking about killing, but about today's weather.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mingqiu's voice came from the door, "Princess, why are you here so late?"

"My young masters are all asleep."

Mingqiu's voice was a little louder than usual, and the man in black glanced at Lin Jingrong.

This room is different from their room in Shanngling. It has only one door and the only window is next to the door. If you go out at this time, you will definitely be discovered.

He kicked off his feet and temporarily hid on the beams of the roof. The color of his clothes blended perfectly with the surrounding darkness.

"Did your young master go to bed so early? But the lights haven't been turned off yet." Xie Chunchao's clear voice came from outside the door, "Everyone has eaten venison today and it's very greasy. I wanted to give your young master some sweet and sour food." The fruit makes him feel relieved."

Lin Jingrong untied her coat and put it on her body, then sat on the edge of the bed, coughed twice and said, "Mingqiu, let the princess come in."

The old wooden door creaked, and a bright and charming girl walked in from behind the door. She was carrying a straw basket in her hand, and a beautiful flower appeared on her red skirt as she walked.

The humble house instantly glowed with her arrival.

Xie Chunchao saw him sitting by the bed with his coat on, and walked up quickly and said, "Why are you sitting up? What if you catch a cold?"

"It's okay." Lin Jingrong said warmly, "It's hard for me to lie down when you come."

Xie Chunchao asked, "What's wrong with lying down? Didn't you lie down every day last time I saw you?"

林惊容：……

Mingqiu was having a hard time suppressing his laughter in the corner. He had to pretend to be sick last time, so he was fine now.

Lin Jingrong secretly glanced at Mingqiu, and Mingqiu immediately became honest and retreated obediently.

Xie Chunchao handed one of the wild fruits in the basket to Lin Jingrong and said, "Try it. This is a unique yacon fruit from Yanshan. It is sent by farmers. It tastes good, sour, sweet and juicy."

Lin Jingrong heard this and picked up a peeled fruit and put it to his mouth to taste it carefully.

Xie Chunchao put the remaining fruit on the bedside and stood up to look at the small room.

"Will your room get cold at night?"

The layout of this room is simple. As soon as you enter, there is an Eight Immortals table and a few chairs as the reception area, followed by a screen as a shield. After passing around the screen, you can see the bed for rest.

Xie Chunchao took two steps, and the gold hairpin on her head suddenly fell off. When she bent down to pick it up, she glanced under the bed——

Nothing.

Lin was surprised and said, "It's not cold, there's charcoal burning in the room."

But Xie Chunchao was still a little worried. She touched the quilt covering Lin Jingrong and said, "This quilt is too thin."

"The mountains are no better than at home. The nights here are very cold. I even caught a cold last night."

Xie Chunchao said, then turned around and rummaged through the cabinet, "I'll help you look for a thicker quilt."

She opened the cabinet, and there was only a thin blanket in it. Her eyes changed slightly, and she closed the door and complained, "There is only one thin blanket in such a big cabinet."

Lin Jingrong coughed twice and said, "Maybe they moved everything in the room."

Xie Chunchao: "Then I'll ask them to bring you more charcoal and give you some soup." Xie Chunchao chatted with Lin Jingrong for a few more words before saying goodbye.

Her house was opposite Lin Jingrong. As long as she opened the window, she could see the house opposite. The small house was still lit with candles, but after a while, even the candles were extinguished.

It was already dark in the mountains, and even if she had a lamp burning on her side, it would not be able to illuminate his side.

"Princess, what are you looking at?" Yu Ning looked at the opposite side in confusion, and then said, "The lights are out on the opposite side, let's turn off the lights and sleep."

Xie Chunchao thought for a while and said, "Close the window."

She lay on the bed, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

She had just seen a dark figure enter Lin Jingrong's room unintentionally, but when she just went in to take a look, there was nothing there.

What happened today couldn't be just a simple accident. How could the tiger suddenly run from the mountains to the outside?

As for the person who killed the tiger...

Could it be related to Lin Jingrong?
He was obviously an abandoned son raised by a villager since he was a child, but he was able to grow up so well.

Could his temperament, talents, and methods of designing hidden weapons really be learned by studying alone?

There were too many doubts, and Xie Chunchao always felt that her seemingly sickly husband was not as simple as he seemed.

Early the next morning, Feng Qing came to report, "Princess, Mao You is missing."

"Mao You?"

Yu Ning explained, "He is a boy who helps the groom to do things."

Xie Chunchao understood, "Have you looked for it?"

"I've searched everywhere, but there's no trace of him anywhere. According to people traveling with him, he went out to relieve himself last night, but never came back. His luggage was still thrown around in the house, which shows that he went out. An accident."

Yu Ning has always been timid, and last night she learned from Yun Xie that they met a tiger when they went hunting. She turned pale with fright, "Princess, could Mao You be picked up and eaten by a wild beast?"

"How about we go down the mountain first."

"If it is eaten by wild animals, there will be traces nearby." Xie Chunchao looked calm, "We will look for him again. If we haven't found anyone yet, let's go down the mountain first."

"Yun Xie, ask the people around Mao You if Mao You has had any disputes with anyone recently, or has he behaved strangely recently?"

"Yes."

Not long after, Yun Xie came back.

"Princess, my servant has asked. Mao You has a smart temper and has not had any enmity with anyone recently."

"If we talk about something unusual," Yun Xie paused and said, "They said that Mao You's sudden happiness recently seemed to have happened to something good. Someone he liked asked him about it, and he mysteriously said that he had gotten rich. ”

"But we searched Mao You's package, and there was nothing valuable in it."

Get rich?Xie Chunchao quickly figured out the key to it. Although both houses knew about her trip, it was a temporary move and she did not make a big deal about it.

And those people who were able to get her whereabouts so quickly either sent people outside the mansion to monitor her movements, or bribed people inside the mansion.

She didn't specifically mention her archery practice to anyone else. It seems that Mao You saw her bringing a bow and arrows on this trip and guessed that she would be hunting in Yanshan, so she revealed the news, which led to the group of people intending to kill her with a tiger.

But...since Mao You betrayed her, why was he killed by those people?
Could it be that during the negotiation, the other party was temporarily angered?

Or is there someone else who committed the murder? (End of chapter)
