After a while, the girl who was taken away by Master Qian was carried back.
Everyone took her to the couch and saw that her face was pale, her body was shaking like a sieve, and there was a big cut on her forehead. They felt very distressed.
Fortunately, the bleeding had stopped, but the blood and tear marks on her face still made her look extremely miserable.
It took half an hour before she woke up. By then, everyone had bandaged her wounds and washed her face.
The girl's surname was Lin. When she woke up, she stared blankly at the quilt on her body without saying a word, as if she had lost her soul.
"What's wrong? Stop it." Miss Yu, who was closest to her, sat next to her and hugged her tightly.
It would have been fine if no one asked, but when she did, she burst into tears again, sobbing and speaking incoherently: "Qian, Mr. Qian wanted to molest me, so I bumped into the corner of the table, thinking I could leave with a clean record... I didn't expect Madam Qian to come, so I could only come back."
As she spoke, she recalled the situation and even began to retch. One can imagine how terrified she must have been when facing Master Qian.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Miss Yu hugged her and kept comforting her, even though her own hands were shaking badly.
"They, they don't even treat us as human beings." Miss Lin's eyes were red as she looked at the people around her. "Before I fainted, I heard Madam Qian say that the money-making method couldn't be done without even one person's blood. If, if I were to commit suicide like the eldest daughter of the Li family, then the plan wouldn't be accomplished, and the Qian family would have to spend money to support you for a long time..."
After hearing what Miss Lin said, everyone's already gloomy expressions turned even uglier. What did the Qian family think of them?! Especially Huang Yirong. Le Jin felt that she probably wanted to pick up a knife and chop her into pieces.
"Take good care of it first." Le Jin said, and asked the other girls who went to explore the way today if they had found a route.
They all shook their heads and said, "As soon as we walked away, the servants blocked the door and wouldn't let us go. They said it was Madam Qian's order. They were afraid that we would offend the nobles and affect the Second Young Master's wedding."
"A distinguished person?" Huang Yirong frowned and looked at Le Jin: "Do you think the distinguished person they are talking about is the old blind man you met today?"
"It's possible." Le Jin also thought so: "If it's just any noble person, it might not be possible, but he is probably the only one who can affect the second young master Qian's marriage."
"Then we won't rest tonight!" Upon hearing what the two of them said, the girls who had been exploring the route during the day immediately said, "If we can't make it this far during the day, can't we still explore the route at night? We'll explore the route again tonight! We can't let them succeed!"
That afternoon, after lunch, Le Jin took a nap in his room. He seemed to be sitting there in a daze, but in fact, he had a lot of things on his mind.
Before leaving this morning, he made an appointment with Huang Yiru for the afternoon and asked her to come and see him. Sure enough, she arrived after a while.
She was carrying a small basket and said she came to have tea and snacks with Le Jin.
After entering the house and the servants left, she put the basket on the table and asked Le Jin what he wanted her to do.
"I want to see the room full of coffins you mentioned. Do you remember the exact location?" Le Jin said bluntly. Although he didn't understand those formations, he remembered the contents of the book that Huang Yiru read that day.
He thought clearly that even if they found the old blind man, they might not be able to do anything. Could they kill him in advance? That would only make the people in the Qian Mansion wary of them, and even directly tear their relationship apart.
So Le Jin thought, since it’s not so easy to start with people, then let’s start with the tools.
Huang Yirong probably guessed what he was going to do. "I went out from the main gate, walked to the right, and turned twice, both times to the left."
"Okay, thank you." Le Jin nodded.
"No need to thank me." Huang Yirong lowered her eyes. "If you really want to thank me, you can do so after we get out."
As they talked, the two of them briefly discussed some matters, and Huang Yiruo stayed in his room for some time.
"Be careful." She stood up and took off the lid of the basket. She stuffed a piece of cake into Le Jin's hand, ate one herself, then took a new piece and took a bite of half, and put the rest on a small plate.
She poured two cups of tea and gulped them down, saying, "The tea in the Second Young Master's wife's room is truly extraordinary. Unfortunately, I'm busy embroidering, so I have to go back first."
"Goodbye." Le Jin ate the pastry and choked. He quickly drank a cup of tea and waved goodbye to her.
【I really like this sister! 】
She is really beautiful and smart.
【Sister Huang leads the way! 】
Our big mouth barrage teacher has also contributed a lot! Give your own children some encouragement too!
[Big Mouth...Isn't it bad? Let's see how he performs tonight.]
[I roughly guessed what Big Mouth was thinking, but is the coffin that easy to destroy?]
The coffin is indeed not that easy to destroy.
Le Jin, who had sneaked to the right place, looked at the solid wood black coffins in silence.
Carefully closing the door, he began to look for something else in the room that could be used to make a fuss.
Inside the room, several coffins lay quietly, the two in the center being the largest. Behind them, a tablet for the Second Young Master Qian was placed on a black table. What made Le Jin's back shiver was that his tablet also had one, with the three words "Li Baoqin" neatly inscribed on it.
He frowned and picked up his own tablet, but he didn't expect that there was something underneath the tablet.
