"Shang Ningxia, get out of the way."
"Oh~" Shang Ningxia stepped aside without any hesitation, and Shang Huaishu led people to search the house.
"Didn't I say you were coming in?" Shang Huaishu looked at the butler behind him, and Butler Zhang looked around.
"Sir, someone did come in through the window just now. Look, the window is still open."
Shang Ningxia looked at the window and said with a smile: "Well, I opened it because I wanted to get some fresh air."
Butler Zhang frowned: "How is that possible? The windows outside are all sealed."
Shang Ningxia looked innocent: "But I just pushed it away."
Butler Zhang ran to the window and asked the guard, "Did anyone run out of the window?"
"No."
Butler Zhang wanted to turn around and talk, but he heard a "bang" and Shang Huaishu kicked Butler Zhang on the butt. "Waste."
Shang Huaishu was about to leave with his men, but was blocked by Shang Ningxia.
Shang Huaishu took a step back in fear. "Shang Ningxia, what are you going to do? There are a lot of people guarding outside."
Shang Ningxia smiled and looked at Shang Huaishu: "Don't worry, I won't kidnap you, but you need an explanation for bringing a bunch of people to my boudoir in the middle of the night."
Shang Huaishu: "Well, this..."
Butler Zhang stepped forward. "Sir, why are you explaining all this to her?"
"I'm just worried that you might be in danger. No need to ask so many questions."
"Oh, then take your time, but you have to fix this door for me."
"Uh." Shang Huaishu looked towards the door awkwardly. "I'll call someone to fix it right away."
Shang Ningxia looked at the people standing outside: "Well, let Shuiyao come over. I'm afraid of all these people."
Shang Huaishu pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Butler Zhang, go and send Shuiyao back to Ningxia."
"The prince..."
"Don't waste time, go now."
"Yes." Butler Zhang ran out.
Shang Huaishu looked at Shang Ningxia again. "You'd better be good and don't try to run away, or I can't protect you."
Shang Ningxia: "Shang Huaishu, who is the masked man today? Who have you teamed up with? What are you going to do?"
"Shang Ningxia, if there are things you shouldn't know, don't ask."
Shang Ningxia let out a long sigh. "Okay, I won't ask that, but what are you going to do about father and mother?"
"I just locked them up. This is all for their own good. Don't ask any more questions." Shang Huaishu said nothing more and turned to leave.
Shang Ningxia looked at Shang Huaishu's back. She didn't believe that Shang Huaishu could design these.
After a while, Butler Zhang brought Shuiyao over.
Shui Yao rushed to Shang Ningxia. "Princess~"
The master and servant hugged each other, and Shang Ningxia glared at Butler Zhang. "You can go now."
"Okay." Butler Zhang left with gritted teeth.
At this time, Shang Yangyang took Lin Jingfan out of the Duke's Mansion. After they walked a little further away, Shang Yangyang sat directly on the ground. She had consumed too much today, and now the pills could no longer help her recover.
Lin Jingfan: "Uncle Yangyang will carry you."
Shang Yangyang nodded weakly, and just when Lin Jingfan was about to carry her on his back, Shang Yangyang tilted her head and fainted.
"Yangyang~" Lin Jingfan hugged Shang Yangyang and ran back to the Marquis' Mansion.
When he arrived at the marquis's mansion, he did not knock on the door, but flew straight in. As soon as he entered, he was surrounded by secret guards.
"I'm Lin Jingfan, please don't hurt me by mistake."
When the secret guards saw that it was Lin Jingfan, they were confused. When they saw Shang Yangyang in Lin Jingfan's arms, they were dumbfounded.
"The little princess is sleeping in her room, why is she here?"
Lin Jingfan didn't have time to explain this to them. "Go find my brother-in-law and ask him to come over. I'll take Yangyang back to her room first, and then go find the doctor."
After saying that, Lin Jingfan carried Shang Yangyang and ran towards her yard.
At this moment, Shang Yuanshan and Shang Yanqing were sorting out the evidence collected today in the study. When the secret guard brought the news, they both ran to Shang Yangyang's yard.
"What's going on, Yangyang?"
Lin Jingfan told Shang Yuanshan what happened in the Duke's Mansion today, and after listening he suddenly realized something.
"You said that not long after you went in, Shang Huaishu brought people there?"
"Well, if Yangyang hadn't been there, I would have been caught by him."
Shang Yuanshan stopped talking. He sat down beside the bed and when he saw Shang Yangyang breathing evenly, he felt relieved for the time being. "It looks like he's asleep again. Let's wait for the doctor to come and check."
After an incense stick of time passed, Doctor Wang was brought over by the secret guards.
After Doctor Wang stepped forward and saluted, he walked to Shang Yangyang's bedside and took her pulse.
After a while, Doctor Wang put away the pulse pillow and turned to look at Shang Yuanshan and the others. "Lord Shang, do you remember what I said?"
"Doctor Wang, you said too much."
Doctor Wang smiled and nodded. He slowly said, "Lord Shang, children sleep really well, and this is indeed the time to sleep."
The corner of Shang Yuanshan's mouth twitched. He really didn't know what to say. If it were a normal child, it would be bedtime, but this little monkey of his family went out to do something big tonight.
"Doctor Wang, are you sure Yangyang is just asleep?"
Doctor Wang nodded. "But judging from the pulse, the little princess is a little weak, but it's nothing serious. Just supplement her diet."
"Thank you very much, Doctor Wang." Shang Yuanshan took out a purse and stuffed it into Doctor Wang's hand, then sent Doctor Wang out of the mansion.
Shang Yuanshan was relieved after confirming that Shang Yangyang was fine. He now had time to sort out all his thoughts.
A moment later in Shang Yuanshan's study. "Brother-in-law, do you think this is a trap they designed for me?"
Shang Yuanshan nodded. "Is it because Ningxia left the house recently that he was looking for you?"
Lin Jingfan nodded. Ever since he rescued Li Yue and her siblings that night, they often went out together and had a lot to talk about every day.
"That's right. They also discovered that you two were meeting in private, so they deliberately spread the news of your marriage with Li Taifu's second son in order to lure you over."
"If you are caught, you will be called a playboy who broke into a woman's bedroom at night. Even Prime Minister Lin will be tied to the pillar of shame and insulted."
Shang Yuanshan still felt something was wrong: "But we will definitely find out that something happened in the Duke's Mansion. It's still a little hard to explain."
The three of them just sat there, clueless.
Suddenly Lin Jingfan stood up. "Oh, right, Yangyang's inner voice said: If the mother worm dies, the child worm will die, and the Duke will die too."
Shang Yuanshan connected all the things at this moment, and he knew what that man was going to do.
"So this is the whole story. Shang Wanning and the others are just a smokescreen, waiting for me here." Shang Yuanshan took a deep breath.
"Yan Qing, please arrange it."
"Okay." After a moment, the three of them left the study and went back to rest.
Two days later, the Ministry of Rites was crowded with students waiting for the results of the Autumn Examination. All of them craned their necks to wait for the list to be posted.
This group of students included Shang Jinzhi. He squeezed to the front and waited for the people from the Ministry of Rites to come out and post the list.
