Fu Yi sat beside the bed and asked in a cold voice, "Arao, who caused the injury on her shoulder?"
"She's the eldest daughter of General Ye's mansion."
"Oh?" Fu Yi's face darkened, and a hint of coldness lingered in his voice. "Is it the Ye family that taught Xu'er to shoot arrows?"
Ye Wanqing was actually already awake. When she heard Fu Yi say this, she was afraid that he would go to her house to cause trouble as well. She quickly stood up from the bed and asked nervously, "Brother, what are you going to do?"
"Xu'er, you're awake." Fu Yi saw that she had woken up and reached out to touch her head with concern. Seeing that she subconsciously dodged, he withdrew his hand in shame and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
"Brother! Are you going to the General's Mansion?"
Ye Wanqing frowned, gently pulled his sleeve, and whispered: "I provoked her first! Ye, Miss Ye didn't mean to hurt me so badly, don't go."
"Xu'er, don't be afraid." Fu Yi saw her leaning on the bed with a pale face, and anxiously grabbed his sleeves. Her black hair fell on her bandaged shoulders, and her eyes were full of fear and brokenness.
My heart has already softened into a puddle of water.
"Rest well in the mansion, brother will take care of everything for you."
Fu Yi's voice was gentle and calm. He gently helped her back to the bed, the smile on his lips gradually deepening. He said, "I promise that I will never let Miss Ye appear in front of you again."
Seeing the corner of his mouth raised, Ye Wanqing was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She grabbed his sleeve tightly and said in fear, "Are you going to kill her?"
"How could that be? Killing an official's daughter will result in imprisonment."
Fu Yi had a harmless smile on his face. He touched her head and said gently, "Xu'er, have a good rest and don't think too much. I will stay in the imperial city for a few more days this time and spend some time with you."
Ye Wanqing looked at his smile and felt her scalp tingle. "Let's not do it. I'm not really that badly injured."
In fact, she fainted mainly because the bra binder made it hard for her to breathe.
"Father will be back from the southern border soon, and I'm waiting for him at home."
At this time, Murong Yan and his men rushed in, "No need, Master Fu should hurry back to the southern border. If you stay with him for a few more days, I'm afraid Ah Xu won't live to see the day when Lord Chen returns."
Fu Yi's face changed, and he quickly pulled the quilt over to wrap the man tightly. "Murong Yan, who let you in? Get out with your people!"
"Your Highness, please stop him quickly..." Ye Wanqing was covered tightly in the quilt, with only her two eyes exposed as she looked at him, sending out a signal for help.
Although she had only spent a short time with both of them, she was still very clear about what kind of person the prince was. But this brother of Shen Xu...
At first glance, he's a pervert who's not to be trifled with!
The kind that is cruel and ruthless, and moody.
Judging from his tone, he definitely wants to go to the General's Mansion to vent his anger on Shen Xu's behalf. If things go wrong, he might even destroy the General's Mansion in a rage, and poor Shen Xu might be stabbed with hundreds of transparent holes by him...
Fu Yi carried Murong Yan out of the door. It was the first time that Ye Wanqing saw the prince in front of Young Master Fu. He had no tricks at all and even his momentum was inferior to his.
The big devil without a doubt!
Ye Wanqing rested in the mansion for a few days in fear. Fu Yi seemed to have changed his face, caring about her and taking good care of her.
Apart from not allowing her to go out, the big devil was almost attentive to her.
Murong Yan was also banned from entering the Marquis' Mansion. He had been shouting outside a few days ago, "Axu, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you."
There has been no movement these days.
Humph, men’s mouths are full of lies!
Ye Wanqing held her chin and absentmindedly flipped through the book on the table.
I don’t know what happened to my father and the general’s mansion. That man can even control the prince. I hope he won’t wipe out the general’s mansion.
"Prince, there is news about Miss Ye." A Rao walked in quietly, interrupting her thoughts.
"Have you found Miss Ye?"
"Well, news just came back from the Dali Temple. A female corpse was found in an abandoned well in a brothel in the outer city. It was Miss Ye from the General's Mansion."
"What!" Ye Wanqing stood up in shock. "How could this happen?"
"Well, the officials said she'd been dead for over ten days. Her body was all swollen and her face was disfigured. But Commander Ye went to identify the body and confirmed it was Miss Ye's."
Ye Wanqing sat down on the chair in horror, at a loss as to what to do.
Shen Xu, dead?
She died with her body in a well in the red-light district.
So, what to do now!
She asked in a distraught voice, "Who killed her?"
"I don't know. The Dali Temple is investigating. I heard that the body was thrown into a well in a sack. The well has been abandoned for a long time and no one usually goes near it. If someone hadn't smelled the stench, it probably wouldn't have been discovered for a long time."
A Rao told every detail she had gotten, with a hint of annoyance in her expression, as if to say, if I had known earlier I would have beaten her up first, but someone actually got in the way and stabbed her.
"Wearing a sack?" Ye Wanqing frowned and looked at A Rao, her tone becoming colder. "Did you go find someone to beat her up?"
"No, when you asked me to look for her, she had already disappeared. I wanted to fight her, but I didn't catch up."
"Really?" Ye Wanqing looked at her suspiciously.
"I never lie."
At this time, Fu Yi came in with a medicine bowl, lovingly put away the books on her desk, sat down beside her, and said softly: "Xu'er, you're tired from reading for a long time, which is not conducive to healing your wounds. Come and take your medicine."
Seeing Ye Wanqing staring at him indifferently, he picked up the bowl, scooped a spoonful of medicine, and blew it carefully, "Why, do you still want big brother to feed you?"
