Chapter 7

Ji Wanyi's complexion changed drastically, and in a blink of an eye, she rushed towards Xie Jingliang from the left, stretched out her hand to block it, and the dagger passed through her palm, opening a huge bloody mouth.

Ever since she was a child, she had never suffered such a serious injury, Ji Wanyi's eyes darkened, and she passed out.

Xie Jingliang was startled, he reached out to catch Ji Wanyi, and slapped the table with his big palm. The cup shattered into three pieces and flew towards the faces of the three orchids. The three died on the spot.

"Master Hou!" The incident happened too quickly, Zhang Jin and the two guards outside the door immediately stepped forward with knives.

Xie Jingliang helped Ji Wanyi up, and took a deep look at her bleeding palm, with a complicated look on her face.

When Ji Wanyi woke up, she found that she was hugged by Xie Jingliang on the horse, and she suppressed the severe pain in her palms, "Master Hou, where are you taking me?"

Seeing that Xie Jingliang ignored her, she showed an anxious expression, "Master Hou, please let me off the horse, Cao Min wants to go home."

"Go home? Now the Marquis is suspicious of your intentions, and he brought me into the Linglong Pavilion to invite you into the urn." Xie Jingliang's voice was cold.

"Master Hou!" Ji Wanyi looked back at him, and said seriously, "Master Hou, please check clearly, the grass people will never know!"

"Oh?" Xie Jingliang raised his voice at the end, "Brother Ji, there is no need to be nervous. Whether it is true or not, Ben Hou will investigate thoroughly. You will stay with Ben Hou at home now."

"Go back to the house?" Ji Wanyi panicked, "Hou, Lord Hou, this is not appropriate."

"Brother Ji talks too much!" Master Xie Xiaohou speeded up, and the horse passed away in a ostentatious manner, causing passers-by to stop and discuss. They are really two beauties who are like gods.

Ji Wanyi didn't dare to resist, and instinctively distanced herself from Lord Xie Xiaohou.Xie Jingliang pursed his lips and smiled silently.

While feeling anxious, Ji Wanyi caught a sharp glimpse of a turquoise dress on the side of the road, and thought to herself, isn't that Su Ningxin's maid, Cuiru?Recently, I have been worrying about being entangled by the daughter of the county guard, why not... just take advantage of the injury...

Ji Wanyi's body suddenly went limp, and she purposely fell on Xie Jingliang's body, pretending to be powerless.

Xie Jingliang's body froze, knowing that she was acting like this on purpose, he immediately wanted to throw her off the horse, but he held back.

Passers-by began to point and talk, this young master of the Ji family and a young man in white, so-and-so, and so-and-so, seemed to have an indescribable relationship right away.

Hearing that, Xie Jingliang's face darkened.

When Cui Ru first saw this scene, she paused in her footsteps, it turned out that this was the case, and there was a clear meaning in her eyes.

Seeing Cuiru's eyes, Ji Wanyi understood that she had deeply misunderstood her, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that after Cuiru went back and told Miss Su, she would be able to make Miss Su quit.

Back at the Hou's Mansion, Xie Jingliang kept his face dark all the time, flicked the rein, and started to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Zhang Jin rode his horse from behind to catch up, helped Ji Wanyi off the horse, called Steward Li, told Steward Li to settle her down, and followed Lord Xie Xiaohou to the yamen.

Ji Wanyi thanked her, and was led by Butler Li to the guest room. Along the way, everyone in the Hou Mansion looked at her quietly, which made her quite uncomfortable.

On the side of the corridor, Man Shu was wearing a crimson dress and watched from a distance, listening to the whispers of the people in the Hou Mansion, this young man in blue was so handsome, he was actually prettier than a woman.

Manshu's heart twitched slightly, it was indeed too good-looking... She turned her eyes and landed on Ji Wanyi's blood-dripping palm, and she suddenly had an idea.

Seeing Ji Wanyi enter the door, Manshu went up to meet her, and bowed respectfully to Butler Li, "Butler Li, let me take care of Young Master Ji."

Butler Li looked at her hesitantly and nodded.

Several maidservants had already arranged the gauze and ointment, and Manshu stepped forward, "Master Ji, let Manshu come."

Ji Wanyi stood up and gave a salute. I don't know why she came in person, "Thank you Miss Manshu for your kindness, it's just a small injury for Ji, don't bother Miss Manshu."

Manshu smiled, "What trouble do you say, Manshu is a servant, so Mr. Ji despises Manshu."

"That's not the case," Ji Wanyi was quite embarrassed, "Ji has absolutely no intention of doing this, but Miss Manshu is the confidante of Lord Hou, and Ji must avoid suspicion."
