Qi He's eyes flashed with annoyance, but he had to smile: "Master Xiao is so honored to come here at this hour, just to congratulate you. I am really flattered."
Xiao Yunchen looked calm and composed, his tone as gentle as usual: "I heard about the general's happy event, so I came here on a whim."
At this time, Xiaohong came quickly, approached Xiao Yunchen, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Xiao Yunchen's eyes flickered slightly, and he bowed to Qi He and said, "I have an urgent matter at home. Please forgive my impoliteness and take my leave first. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to ask. I am willing to help you in a small way."
Qi He's smile remained unchanged: "Master Xiao, you are too polite. Since you have something to do, please go back early."
Xiao Yunchen nodded slightly and bowed to say goodbye.
Qi He stared at his departing figure until he disappeared from his sight, and the fake smile on his face disappeared instantly.
He shouted coldly, "Someone come here!"
A black-clad guard appeared from the shadows and saluted respectfully: "General, what are your orders?"
Qi He's voice was cold and serious: "Follow Xiao Yunchen secretly and make sure to find out his movements tonight."
"Yes!" The black-clad guard took the order and left.
Qi He turned around and saw that Madam Qi was worried. He softened his tone and said, "Don't worry, mother. I can handle this matter myself. It's late now. Please go back to your room and rest. I will handle the rest."
In the darkness of the night, Xiao Yunchen's carriage sped through the rain. The black-clad guards of the Qi Mansion, who were following behind, lay dormant until they saw the carriage enter the Xiaohou Mansion with their own eyes.
After confirming that the mansion door was closed, the black-clad guard returned to the general's mansion to report.
"General, Lord Xiao did return home and did not stay."
Upon hearing this, Qi He frowned sharply, his voice low and heavy: "The two ladies of the Xiao Mansion have always been at odds with Wen Luoxin. How could Xiao Yunchen happen to appear at this time..."
After muttering to himself for a while, Qi He suddenly said in a deep voice, "Go check! All the carriages that entered and left the capital tonight, especially those from the Xiao Mansion!"
The black-clad guard quickly responded, "Yes! I'll check right away!"
——————
The sky is getting brighter and the morning light is just beginning to appear.
The dark clouds that had been oppressing the sky all night finally left the sky above the capital. The sky was washed clear and bright by the rain, and the morning sun poured down like a golden waterfall.
The air is still filled with moisture, and the morning breeze brings the scent of flowers and grass, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
The world seemed to have been cleansed of the dust of the past by the impatient storm last night, and was filled with a fresh and peaceful vitality.
In a house in the west of the city, Li Nian looked at Wen Luoxin, who was still frowning in her sleep and her fingers unconsciously clenched the corner of the quilt, and felt a little sad for a moment.
In the original text, the heroine and the hero got married and gave birth to a cute and obedient son, and their lives were harmonious and beautiful.
As a result, after being reborn, she married Qi He, but ended up in such a miserable situation.
Now the plot has completely deviated from the original text, and no one knows what kind of suffering and troubles will be waiting for them next.
If Wen Luoxin was just the heroine, Li Nian wouldn't care.
But the problem now is that the heroine cannot die. Once the world is reset, she and Sisi are likely to disappear from this world.
Therefore, they still have to protect the heroine.
Li Sisi came in with a bowl of medicine. Seeing that the room was quiet, she whispered, "Finally, she's asleep. If she keeps tossing and turning like this, even a god wouldn't be able to bear it."
Li Nian put her finger to her lips, signaling her to speak in a lower voice.
He stood up and pulled Li Sisi out of the room.
Li Sisi walked towards the kitchen with the medicine bowl in hand. She glanced at the pale Wen Luoxin lying on the bed and lowered her voice, "Alas, I don't know what happened between her and Qi He. Their relationship has become like this now."
Li Nian walked side by side with her and whispered, "I'll have to ask Xiao Yunchen about this matter when I get back. I don't understand what kind of hatred would make a man be so cruel to his own wife and child. Even if he doesn't like her, she's still the mother of his child!"
Li Nian frowned, his tone somewhat indignant.
Although she hated Wen Luoxin, from a woman's perspective, Qi He was really going too far!
Rina suddenly remembered something: "By the way, do you still have to go to the Dali Temple for duty today?"
Li Sisi shook her head: "No need, Chenchen is here, he will definitely help me ask for leave."
The two best friends were talking in low voices when they arrived at the kitchen.
Because something happened suddenly last night, this house was found temporarily and no servants were arranged to serve.
Li Sisi poured the dark Chinese medicine back into the medicine jar and asked, "What should we do next? Qi He will find out his wife is missing and will definitely look for her everywhere."
"We don't know the specific situation yet, so it's hard to say what will happen next. Why don't you go back and ask Xiao Yunchen about the details?" Li Nian said helplessly, "Wen Luoxin must be hiding something important that outsiders don't know about. We can only take it one step at a time."
Li Sisi nodded: "No matter what, as long as we can ensure that Wen Luoxin does not die, that's all that's fine."
Li Nian thought the same thing: "I think so too. As for long-term plans, we still need to find out the whole story and then make a long-term plan."
Li Sisi nodded in agreement and pulled Li Nian to the stove. "I just asked Xiaohong to buy breakfast. We've been busy all night. Let's eat something and go to sleep. Let Xiaohong stay here first, and we'll take over from him at noon."
Li Nian looked at the steaming buns and immediately felt that she was really hungry.
The two of them divided the work while eating.
Li Sisi went back home first to wait for news, while Li Nian and Xiaohong stayed to take care of Wen Luoxin.
At this time, on the big bed in the house.
Wen Luoxin, who was in a coma, suddenly opened her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Child...where is my child?"
Xiaohong followed Li Nian's instructions and stayed in the room. When she saw her wake up, she hurried to call Li Nian.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Li Nian adhered to the idea that the less people knew, the safer it was, and did not invite anyone to this house.
Li Sisi has returned to the Xiao Mansion, and now there are only her and Xiaohong here.
Hearing Xiaohong's call, Li Nian quickly got up, dressed and got out of bed.
When I arrived at Wen Luoxin's resting room, she was already struggling to get up from the bed.
Xiao Hong coldly reminded her, "Don't you see how terrible you are now? You're almost rotten to the ground, but you're still struggling. Only our wife is kind-hearted enough to risk her life to save you."
"Xiaohong."
When Xiaohong heard Li Nian's voice, her body stiffened and she quickly restrained her expression and stepped aside.
Wen Luoxin saw her approaching and quickly reached out to grab her: "Where's my child? Have you heard anything about him? Is Qi He..."
Before she finished speaking, her face suddenly turned pale, and she staggered, as if she was about to faint again.
She tried hard to hold up her body, and her messy hair hid her haggard and pale face.
Li Nian stood by the bed and said calmly, "The General's Mansion is heavily guarded and not a place where you can come and go freely. But don't worry, I will find a way to get someone to investigate. But before that, I hope you can tell me the truth. Why did the Qi family want to kill you?"
