Chapter 58 Discovery
On the day when all the young and old in the capital went to watch the parade of the top scholar, Miss Chen's friend ran to the teahouse opposite Pinfangzhai to drink tea.
When there were no friends to meet up with, I would just drink tea by myself facing the window, which happened to be facing the door of my study.
Qin Wenyuan didn't believe this was a coincidence.
This can't be a coincidence.
Qin Wenyuan raised his hand and pressed it on his chest, with only one thought in his mind: Chen Yi and the girl in the green dress were accomplices, and their plan had caused the accident for his friend!
Chen Yi already knew who the girl in the green dress was.
"Okay, this is Zhu Jiayu, the fourth daughter of the Yichun Earl's Mansion, and this is Tao Qing, who is from the Xiliang Earl's Mansion. You met them both at the last banquet." Chen Yi introduced with a smile.
"Miss Zhu, Miss Tao." Lin Hao greeted them politely.
Zhu Jiayu was a bit familiar and said with a playful smile, "Should I call you Miss Lin Er? That's too formal. From now on, I will call you Ah Hao, and you can call me Ah Yu."
Lin Hao agreed with a smile.
Listening to the four girls talking and laughing, Qin Wenyuan's eyes were always on Lin Hao.
Miss Lin Er, her maiden name contains the character "hao".
Lin Hao?
Qin Wenyuan's eyes flickered and he raised his eyebrows.
He knew who she was!
The Lin family of the General's Mansion had been the subject of much discussion recently, and he had also heard of the strange story of the second Miss Lin, a mute, speaking.
Lin Hao, Chen Yi.
Qin Wenyuan's eyes wandered between the two of them, his expression sinister.
"Who are you?" a fierce voice sounded.
The round-faced maid suddenly appeared in front of him.
Qin Wenyuan was startled. Before he could react, he saw the maid raise a broken branch she had prepared and hit him, shouting, "Hurry, someone's peeping!"
The four coachmen who were sitting in the carriage with their eyes closed jumped up and ran towards this side with whips in hand.
The maids and servants who accompanied them rushed over.
"Misunderstanding--" Qin Wenyuan's explanation was extremely weak under Baozhu's beating.
The servant grabbed Qin Wenyuan and ran away: "Sir, if you can't explain it now, you will be the one who suffers!"
"Go over there!" Qin Wenyuan shook off the servant's hand and ran towards Lin Hao and the other three.
He thought clearly that if he fled at this moment, he would never be able to explain himself.
Faced with the stranger running towards them and the string of maids, women, and drivers chasing after them, Chen Yi and the other two were stunned. Only Lin Hao remained calm and waited for Qin Wenyuan to run closer. He then extended his hand holding a dagger and gave a cold warning: "If you come any closer, this butcher knife will not tolerate it."
Zhu Jiayu saw the dagger in Lin Hao's hand and screamed in surprise.
The dagger was hers. Just as Lin Hao said, it was a meat cleaver she brought specially for cutting braised meat, roast chicken and other foods.
When did the knife end up in Ah Hao's hands? Didn't Ah Hao just stand there like the others? Who was this young man?
Not only Zhu Jiayu, but Chen Yi and Tao Qing also had a series of questions.
Qin Wenyuan paused, took a breath, and asked with a sullen face, "Whose family is the maid who just slandered and chased me?"
If I can't explain it to the little maid, I can probably settle the score with her master.
Lin Haokan glanced at Baozhu who was chasing after her and said calmly, "She is my maid, but she won't slander anyone."
"No slander?" Qin Wenyuan sneered, "Let the four girls know that I am Qin Wenyuan, and the Prince's Junior Tutor is my uncle."
Chen Yi and the other two were surprised when they heard him introduce himself.
Those servants couldn't help but suppress their murderous aura.
"So what?" Lin Hao asked, his tone even colder.
The nephew of Qin Yunchuan, the Prince's Junior Tutor.
The interactions between people are truly amazing.
"So?" Qin Wenyuan frowned deeply. "The Qin family has a clean record. If I were a pervert, I would have been beaten to death by my uncle long ago."
"That's not necessarily true." Lin Hao smiled. "Children and grandchildren are immature, and the elders may not know about it. For example, if the parents of the Marquis Pingjia knew that he had that kind of hobby, they should have disciplined him before discussing marriage with him—"
"Shut up!" Qin Wenyuan's face turned pale, and anger rushed to his forehead. "The Prince of Pingjia has passed away. Miss, can you please be more polite?"
Lin Hao looked at Qin Wenyuan calmly and suddenly laughed: "It turns out that Master Qin and the Prince of Pingjia are friends."
"You're a friend of the Prince of Pingjia?" Zhu Jiayu suddenly realized and whispered, "No wonder."
Qin Wenyuan stared at Lin Hao intently: "Miss, you really like to talk nonsense. I haven't even asked for your name yet."
Chen Yi and Tao Qing, one on each side, tugged at Lin Hao's sleeves, signaling her not to say anything.
"My name is Lin Hao." Lin Hao glanced at Chen Yi and said calmly, "I'm friends with the eldest daughter of the Huai'an Marquis's mansion. Are Young Master Qin and the Marquis Pingjia's son friends?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Tao Qing and Zhu Jiayu's expressions changed slightly, especially Zhu Jiayu, who looked at Lin Hao with a little dissatisfaction in her eyes.
How could he reveal his and Chen Yi's identities? Originally, it wouldn't have mattered if he had offended the nephew of the Crown Prince's tutor, as he didn't know him anyway. But now, he knew my family background.
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't?" Qin Wenyuan asked coldly.
Lin Hao smiled sweetly, "If it's you, just admit it. Just like me, I openly admit that Miss Chen and I are friends, and I'm not afraid of people knowing it no matter where I go."
This squeeze made Qin Wenyuan's face even uglier.
He turned his gaze slightly and fell on Chen Yi, with a mocking look on his face: "Ms. Chen is in such a good mood that she came to the suburbs to fly a kite."
Chen Yi heard the sarcasm and her face turned red and white.
"Don't go too far!" Zhu Jiayu held Chen Yi's hand and forced herself to look Qin Wenyuan in the eye.
Not to mention the other person's identity, most girls can't stand being ridiculed in person by a young man.
Chen Yi took a step forward and forced a faint smile: "I'm lucky enough to have escaped the sea of suffering, so of course I'm interested."
She had already thought about the rumors she would face after breaking off the engagement, and she couldn't always let her friends block them for her.
"Luck?" Qin Wenyuan said in a meaningful tone.
Chen Yi's expression changed and she subconsciously glanced at Lin Hao.
Lin Hao grabbed Chen Yi's hand and asked coldly, "Young Master Qin, why are you speaking up for the Prince of Pingjia? What is your relationship with him?"
"Second Miss Lin." Qin Wenyuan took a step closer to Lin Hao with a gloomy expression.
Lin Hao did not retreat because of the other party's sudden approach, and looked at him expressionlessly.
"God is watching what you do." Qin Wenyuan said word by word, with no disguising the threat in his tone.
Lin Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Qin is right. God is watching what we do. That's why the Prince of Pingjia got his comeuppance."
She paused and looked at Qin Wenyuan intently: "If anyone goes along with the evil and helps the evil, they will also suffer retribution."
"Then let's go and see." Qin Wenyuan said this and turned to leave.
Seeing him walking farther and farther away until he was out of sight, Chen Yi and the other two breathed a sigh of relief, feeling exhausted.
"Chen Yi, are you okay?" Zhu Jiayu asked.
Chen Yi shook his head with a pale face.
"Ah Hao, you shouldn't have told him our identities." Zhu Jiayu couldn't help but complain a little.
Chen Yi held onto Zhu Jiayu, still staring at the direction Qin Wenyuan left: "Don't blame Ah Hao, he must have known my identity long ago."
