The next morning, after Li Nian had breakfast, he followed Xiao Yunyu to the yamen to visit Shen Baiying.
Perhaps it was because Li Nian’s promise to her yesterday had a good soothing effect, Shen Baiying, who had been suffering from insomnia, slept very soundly this time.
So when Li Nian came to find her, she was still sleeping soundly.
Outside the house, Shen Qianye was carrying a food box, apparently coming to deliver breakfast.
Seeing Li Nian, he hurried forward and said gratefully, "Niannian, Bai Ying was able to be rescued this time thanks to your help."
Li Nian curled his lips in relief. "Bai Ying is my friend. I should naturally try my best to help her when she encounters problems. Besides, you have been taking care of us since we came here. I just didn't expect that we were still a little late, causing Bai Ying to suffer so much."
Hearing this, Shen Qianye said with self-blame in his eyes: "It was my fault as a brother that I was too careless. I didn't investigate Wang Yi's background clearly at the beginning, so Bai Ying was harmed by that beast."
At this point, he looked at Li Nian with gratitude and said sincerely, "If it weren't for General Xiao and Brother Pei's help, I can't even imagine how much more humiliation Bai Ying would have endured!"
Shen Qianye thought of Xiao Yunyu and wanted to ask what the relationship was between Li Nian and the prince from the capital?
But he swallowed the words back. With his current status, he couldn't even protect his own sister, so why should he pursue Nian Nian?
After he settles Bai Ying's affairs, he will go to the military camp to serve. He wants to make achievements with his own abilities and become a general! Not only to resist foreign enemies, but also to have enough strength to protect his family and the people he loves.
Li Nian thought of the scars on Shen Baiying's body, and handed the ointment that he had exchanged with the system a long time ago to Shen Qianye.
"This is a scar ointment specially developed by a friend of mine. It's very effective. When Bai Ying wakes up, give it to her."
Shen Qianye looked at the exquisite jade-colored porcelain bottle in his hand. Even such a small bottle could be seen to be of great value. Wouldn't the ointment inside be even more valuable?
"Nian Nian!"
Xiao Yunyu's voice came from the gate of the official residence.
Li Nian turned around in surprise and saw him walking towards her with a bad look on his face. She frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Yunyu strode to the position beside Li Nian and stopped. His dark pupils glanced coldly at Shen Qianye before his gaze returned to Li Nian. His tone was a little heavy: "That Wei Jiangyi was taken away last night."
When Li Nian heard his words, the calm expression on her face suddenly disappeared. She hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yunyu's sleeve and asked, "Who can take someone away from the government office?"
Thinking that the man was originally in the government prison, unless ordered by the prefect, ordinary people who wanted to take the criminal away from the prison could only jailbreak him.
If it was a prison break, when they first arrived, the officials in the government office could not have been so calm, as if nothing had happened.
Moreover, Sisi had already returned to the government office yesterday to resume her duties. She came to the government office early this morning. If there was a prison break last night, she would not have been unaware of it. Unless someone deliberately concealed the matter.
Thinking of this, Li Nian asked again: "Did the prefect know when Wei Jiangyi was taken away?"
"I know." Xiao Yunyu sneered, his tone sarcastic. "I originally thought the prefect was just wary of that person's identity and suggested I stay out of this matter. Now it seems that may not be the only reason."
When Shen Qianye heard Xiao Yunyu's words, he remembered that the prefect had come to him several times, hoping that he would persuade Shen Baiying to swallow her anger and let her family not pursue the matter any further. He refused.
He spoke about this matter.
After listening to Shen Qianye's words, Li Nian said solemnly: "It seems that the prefect is determined to protect that person." She looked up at Xiao Yunyu and asked, "Where is Wei Jiangyi now?"
Xiao Yunyu's tone was slightly gloomy: "The person who took Wei Jiangyi away was Wang Jiang. If I'm not mistaken, that person has been hidden by Wang Jiang."
When Shen Qianye heard the name, he felt familiar. After thinking about it, it seemed that his eldest brother had told him about it before.
He frowned and said worriedly, "Are you talking about General Wang? I heard that he is also from the capital and has a very important background."
Xiao Yunyu snorted lightly: "He is indeed from a prominent background."
"Brother Yu?" A familiar male voice sounded.
Li Nian turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and saw Qi Heng, dressed in a navy blue robe, striding towards him with a look of surprise on his face.
Their eyes met, and both were shocked.
Li Nian was surprised for a moment, then suppressed the panic in his heart and regained his composure.
But I was a little worried.
Why would Qi Heng come? If he knew that she and Sisi had faked their deaths, would the news leak out and spread to those in the capital?
No, Qi Heng can’t know that she is Li Nian!
Fortunately, Sisi didn’t come, and she was the only one there, so we can still say that they look similar!
Qi Heng had an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and he looked up and down at Li Nian carefully with a terrified look.
Finally, his gaze fell on Xiao Yunyu, his fingers trembling, "Yu, Brother Yu, your wife, she followed you to the northwest..."
Li Nian was very glad that Li Sisi was not here at this time, otherwise it would be difficult for her to escape.
She looked at Qi Heng with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Sir, are you saying that Xiao Yunyu has a wife?"
Qi Heng was stunned by her question and couldn't help but look up at the big sun in the sky, shining on the woman in front of him. Her figure, her eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as Yu Ge's wife who died early!
Seeing Qi Heng just staring at her, she seemed to be scared silly.
Li Nian looked up at Xiao Yunyu, accusing him, "So you're already married? No wonder you called me 'wife' the first time you saw me! And then you kept pestering me. So you just thought of me as a substitute for your wife?!"
Xiao Yunyu:? ?
What is going on, my lady?
Thinking back to the first time Li Nian saw him, she pretended not to know him and denied her identity.
Xiao Yunyu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed again, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, his face full of affection: "Niannian, don't listen to his nonsense! I fell in love with you at first sight, I fell in love with you at second sight, and I fell in love with you at third sight. From now on, I only want to walk hand in hand with you."
Li Nian's face was filled with anger. "I don't believe it." She looked at Qi Heng. "Tell me! Do I look like Xiao Yunyu's wife?"
"No, not at all?" Qi Heng looked at Xiao Yunyu blankly. Receiving her gaze, he immediately replied firmly, "Miss, you misunderstood. I was just dazzled and saw wrongly. You and Brother Yu's wife don't look alike at all!"
Li Nian looked puzzled and tilted her head as she continued to ask, "Really?"
Qi Heng nodded quickly: "Absolutely true, not at all like him!"
Li Nian's eyebrows relaxed slightly after hearing his assurance: "Young Master, please be careful next time and don't cause any misunderstandings again."
Qi Heng smiled and said, "No, may I know your name? When did you meet Brother Yu?"
Seeing him looking at Li Nian with interest, Xiao Yunyu tutted softly and asked, "What are you doing here?"
