Chapter 186: A Girl Who Looks Like My Debt Collector
Prime Minister Jian’s footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Deng Youning’s nerves were extremely tense.
But he also knew the rules. Even if they were father and daughter, he could not rashly go up to see his daughter's sleeping posture.
He wanted to say something else, but outside the door, a servant suddenly ran over in a hurry and whispered something in Prime Minister Jian's ear, causing Prime Minister Jian's face to change suddenly and he wanted to leave.
"Serve the young lady well, and call her to see me when she wakes up."
Prime Minister Jian instructed.
Before leaving the room, he did not forget to sniff his nose.
His eyes swept across the medicine box in the corner and his sparse eyebrows frowned. Could it be that Yi'er was injured?
But he didn't have time to take care of his daughter now, as he had to deal with the Rashomon matter quickly.
Deng Youning and Li Tianzhuo are these two troubles!
The person finally walked away. Deng Youning crawled out of the bed and took a deep breath of fresh air.
Almost suffocated!
"Fortunately, the master didn't notice you, the county lady."
The maid also breathed a sigh of relief.
Deng Youning asked indirectly about the suspicious people and strangers who had recently appeared in the mansion.
It was learned that a friend of Prime Minister Jian seemed to have moved into the West Garden where the late lady lived recently.
The man lived a secluded life and rarely went out, and did not need anyone to serve him personally, so the servants did not know him very well.
Deng Youning suspected that this person was most likely Deng Zheng.
Prime Minister Jian was so bold to take in the criminal Deng Zheng!
She shook her head and sighed, she was afraid that she would have to break her promise to Jian Zhiyi, as he would also be charged with harboring a fugitive.
Not long after, Jian Zhiyi came back with a few notebooks.
This records the money that the Jian family lent to the people who went to Rashomon.
"Youning, can this be considered evidence?"
Jian Zhiyi asked expectantly.
Deng Youning shook his head regretfully.
These things can only prove that Prime Minister Jian lent money at high interest, which is completely insignificant.
"I'll look for it again."
Jian Zhiyi said this and stood up and wanted to go out.
Deng Youning hurriedly grabbed her.
"It's not so easy to obtain evidence of Prime Minister Jian's guilt."
"I need your help in confirming something."
Deng Youning explained to Jian Zhiyi that Deng Zheng was hiding in Jian's house.
Jian Zhiyi frowned in disbelief.
My father is simply courting death in all kinds of ways!
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Deng Youning asked her to wait a moment, "I'll go with you this time."
She asked for a maid's clothes, put on a veil, and put a few red dots on her face to pretend she had a rash.
Most of the Jian family's guards were stationed in the West Garden. Normally, even the eldest daughter Jian Zhiyi was not allowed to approach.
Prime Minister Jian only said that a friend was staying there and did not want to be disturbed.
Today, it was Deng Youning who helped her climb over the wall.
As we approached the house, we could faintly hear two people talking, and it seemed like they were holding a criticism meeting against Deng Youning.
"This evil girl, I really wish I had strangled her to death when she was born!"
"Brother Deng, Rashomon has been lost. You should think about how to explain this to His Royal Highness the King!"
Deng Zheng had a conversation with Prime Minister Jian, discussing Rashomon and the matter of Si Wang.
Jian Zhiyi was also hearing it clearly.
She couldn't hold back her anger and wanted to kick the door open to ask her father why he was such a treacherous and treacherous minister!
Deng Youning stopped her and told her not to be too impulsive.
As the two were pulling each other, Jian Zhiyi accidentally kicked a stone nearby.
The stones rolled down the steps with a crisp crash.
Hearing the noise outside, the two old men who were still plotting loudly in the room suddenly shut up and became completely silent.
Jian Zhiyi also looked at Deng Youning nervously.
"Walk!"
Deng Youning pulled her and wanted to go around to the back to find a place to hide.
Just as they arrived at the back of the house and walked a few steps along the wall, suddenly, the window on the wall opened from the inside, and the two were caught red-handed by Prime Minister Jian.
He guessed that if they wanted to leave Xiyuan, they could only go through the back!
Both girls' hearts were in their throats.
“Yier, didn’t I tell you not to get close to here? Why don’t you obey me, you damn girl?!”
Prime Minister Jian was already angry, but he was suppressing the rage that was about to rise.
His daughter is so ignorant that it gives him a headache as a father.
Deng Youning followed behind Jian Zhiyi all the time, using her body to block Prime Minister Jian's view of her.
However, he was still captured by Prime Minister Jian.
"What's wrong with your maid? Why is she wearing a veil?" Prime Minister Jian asked vigilantly.
Jian Zhiyi forced a smile and said, "Don't blame me, Daddy. She has had a rash on her face these days, and she looks scary. I didn't want to offend Daddy, so I asked her to cover it up a little."
Prime Minister Jian nodded and his nose twitched again.
I don't know why, but I always smell blood on Yier?
"Yier, have you been injured recently?"
"If you feel uncomfortable, please tell your father."
Prime Minister Jian grumbled to himself.
He also did not forget to tell Jian Zhiyi to go find Jun Wenci.
Jian Zhiyi could only listen reluctantly.
Thinking about leaving quickly.
Just as Prime Minister Jian was about to let them go, Deng Zheng appeared beside him in the room.
His deep eyes, as if they had crawled out of hell, kept looking at Deng Youning.
"You, take off your veil."
He spoke in a commanding tone, leaving no room for negotiation.
"She has a rash and might infect us."
Because he felt guilty and nervous, Jian Zhiyi's voice trembled when he spoke.
With such an obvious abnormality, perhaps only Prime Minister Jian would regard it as due to his daughter's illness.
"It's okay. I'm also wearing a veil, so I'm not afraid of her infecting me."
"If you and your daughter are afraid, you can hide aside."
"I saw that this girl looked very similar to my evil daughter who was born to collect debts, so I wanted to confirm it."
After all, they are biological children, and Deng Youning looks a lot like Deng Zheng and Gu.
Especially her eyebrows and eyes, which were carved exactly like Gu's.
Deng Zheng, who had always missed his deceased wife, naturally recognized Deng Youning at a glance.
Jian Zhiyi glanced at Deng Youning out of the corner of her eye. Her palms were sweaty.
"Since your uncle wants to see it, why don't you ask your people to take off the veil?"
Prime Minister Jian also noticed something was wrong.
Deng Zheng is not a person who likes to cause trouble, and this maid is wearing a veil, it is hard not to be suspicious!
Jian Zhiyi turned and looked at Deng Youning, his anxious eyes asking her what to do.
Prime Minister Jian and Deng Zheng's eyes also fell on Deng Youning.
At this moment, Deng Youning was like a rabbit caught by these two wolves.
Nowhere to hide!
"What? You are just a maid, and you won't listen to me?"
Seeing that she was reluctant to take off her veil, Prime Minister Jian could no longer wait and wanted to find someone to do it.
Deng Youning glanced sideways and saw that all the guards of West Garden were staring at them, gathering their strength to attack.
"Oh, I wanted to let you go."
"Today, you two old guys are courting death!"
Knowing that he couldn't escape, Deng Youning didn't plan to run away anymore.
She waved her sleeves and released a handful of poisonous smoke towards the two old men. The two were completely unprepared and inhaled a lot of it, and immediately felt a pain as if their intestines were pierced and their stomachs were torn.
Unfortunately, the poison had been used up in the fight with the three Nan Yin masters just now, and the poison powder she had on her was not enough to kill anyone.
Seeing that their master was acting strangely, the guards of the Jian family came forward one after another and surrounded Deng Youning and the others in the blink of an eye.
