Chapter 15 Liar
————Jinxiufang————
The bustling streets are bustling with people. Jinxiufang is located in the center of the capital, where dignitaries often visit.
The carriage of the Duke's Mansion stopped on this busy street. The Duke's wife got off first, followed by Pei Jinyu.
When Pei Jinyu just got off the carriage and was about to walk towards Jinxiufang, she was suddenly bumped by someone passing by. When she was about to curse, she felt a note stuffed into her palm.
She was stunned for a moment, and when she wanted to see who it was, the person who bumped into her had already disappeared on the street.
"Jinyu, what's wrong with you?" At this time, the Duke's wife looked at her.
"It's okay, mother. I was just accidentally bumped into by someone." Pei Jinyu responded and followed the Duke's wife into Jinxiufang.
Pei Jinyu took advantage of the time when the Duke's wife was looking at the material, and quietly hid aside and opened the note in her hand. It said, "Chengbei, one thousand taels to redeem Lin Yanbang, otherwise, take his body."
After Pei Jinyu saw the words on the note, he turned pale with fright. He didn't dare to delay even a moment and ran out of Jinxiufang in a flash.
"Jinyu, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry to run out?" The Duke's wife was about to show her daughter the fine fabric in her hand, but when she turned around, she saw her daughter running out like crazy. She immediately ignored the fabric in her hand and chased after her.
But Pei Jinyu's movements were too fast. After walking out of Jinxiufang, he ran towards the north of the city. The Duke's wife couldn't catch up with him and could only stand behind him, feeling very angry.
The north of the city was not that remote, only a dozen miles away from Jinxiufang. After running for a while, Pei Jinyu rented a carriage and went to the north of the city.
As soon as Pei Jinyu arrived in the north of the city, she saw a ferocious-looking man walking towards her and asked, "Are you here to save people?"
Pei Jinyu nodded immediately after hearing this and said, "Yes, I am here to redeem Master Lin Yanbang. This is one thousand taels. Where is he now?"
"Then come with me." The man glanced at Pei Jinyu and took her to a remote house.
At this moment, Pei Jinyu was worried about Lin Yanbang's safety, so she followed the man without thinking too much. They entered a house, and after the man opened the door of the wing room, Pei Jinyu saw Lin Yanbang lying on the bed.
"Give me the silver and you can take the person away!" the man urged impatiently.
Pei Jinyu hurriedly took out all the silver on him and said to the man: "Look, this is one thousand taels."
The man looked at the purse in Pei Jinyu's hand excitedly, and left with satisfaction after taking it.
After the man left, Pei Jinyu walked into the room, stood beside the bed, and kept shaking him, saying, "Mr. Lin, wake up! Mr. Lin, wake up!"
Lin Yanbang opened his eyes dazedly, and when he saw Pei Jinyu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Lin Yanbang looked at Pei Jinyu with a worried look and said in confusion: "Miss Pei, why... why are you here? Where are they... those people? It's dangerous here, you... you should go quickly, leave quickly." He even pretended to let Pei Jinyu leave.
"Mr. Lin, everything is fine. They have all left. Are you okay?" Pei Jinyu was deeply moved when she heard Lin Yanbang's words.
"I... I'm fine..." Lin Yanbang paused for a moment, and then began to pant, as if he was feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Pei Jinyu looked at Lin Yanbang's condition and reached out to help him up, anxiously saying, "Mr. Lin, you are in this state. I will take you to see a doctor first!"
"No...no need, I just...just..." Lin Yanbang said with an embarrassed look on his face.
Pei Jinyu looked at Lin Yanbang and asked anxiously: "You are just what?"
Lin Yanbang deliberately turned his head away from Pei Jinyu and said, "It's just...it's just that they saw that I looked good, so they gave me...gave me that drug and wanted to sell me...sell me to the Xianggu Pavilion. I came to Beijing to take the imperial examination, and when they arrested me, they happened to see you on the street, so they had no choice but to ask you for help. Miss Pei, you...you should leave quickly, I'm afraid that later...I won't be able to control...myself!"
Pei Jinyu was surprised when she heard this: "What? Master Lin, I'll take you to see a doctor right now, come with me!"
Pei Jinyu thought to herself: She would never leave Lin Yanbang here alone to fend for himself, so she grabbed Lin Yanbang's arm and walked out.
Lin Yanbang didn't say anything at this time, and let Pei Jinyu pull him away. Just as they were about to walk out the door, Lin Yanbang suddenly hugged Pei Jinyu into his arms.
"Miss Pei, I seem to... seem to be unable to hold it anymore!" Lin Yanbang panted heavily, hugged Pei Jinyu tighter and tighter, and his hands began to become unruly.
Pei Jinyu was really panicking now. She tried hard to push Lin Yanbang away, but it was useless no matter how hard she pushed. Seeing that Lin Yanbang was about to push her onto the bed, she was so scared that tears came down her face. She said anxiously: "Mr. Lin, let me go, please don't! Mr. Lin, wake up!"
Just when Pei Jinyu couldn't push Lin Yanbang away, the tightly closed door suddenly opened. Lin Yanbang was lifted up by a slender hand and thrown to the ground, screaming.
"Brother!" Pei Jinyu said in surprise as he looked at the man who suddenly appeared.
At this moment, Pei Jingchuan was seen wearing a scarlet official robe, with a stern expression on his face, standing there straight, making the whole room instantly cold.
"Someone, catch him and throw him into the pigsty!" Pei Jingchuan shouted sternly.
Pei Jingchuan thought to himself that he was lucky to meet his mother on the way home. When he learned that Pei Jinyu had gone to the north of the city alone, God knew how worried he was. If he had been a step later, his sister would have been raped by the beast in front of him.
Now thinking back to Xu Qingyan's previous thoughts, he could only hate himself for not paying enough attention to this matter and not continuing to send people to observe his sister's every move. Everything that just happened was just as Xu Qingyan expected. Lin Yanbang actually did these things!
"No! Don't throw me into the pigsty! Miss Pei, please, save me!" When Lin Yanbang heard that he was going to be sent to the pigsty, he was so scared that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Pei Jinyu couldn't bear to hear what her elder brother said, and was about to plead with her elder brother, but before she could open her mouth, Pei Jingchuan said coldly: "Jinyu, if the person is poisoned, he will not distinguish between humans and animals, you should also go with us to take a good look!"
After saying this, without waiting for Pei Jinyu to react, he forcibly took him away. I don't know who owns this house, but there happens to be a place for raising pigs in the yard.
When they arrived at the pigpen, Pei Jingchuan threw Lin Yanbang down, and Lin Yanbang woke up instantly out of the fright.
"No, let me out, let me out! I don't have any Chinese medicine, so I don't need a pig!"
When he saw the group of pigs approaching him, Lin Yanbang immediately blurted out the truth.
Pei Jinyu was angry and sad, and tears couldn't stop falling.
At this moment, it was not what made her saddest. At this moment, a woman and a child came running from somewhere, and they rushed towards Lin Yanbang eagerly.
"Husband, what happened to you? Don't be afraid! I'm here to save you!"
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Pei Jinyu was extremely shocked when she heard what the woman and the child said. She was stunned for a long time before she reacted and started to curse at Lin Yanbang: "Lin Yanbang, I was kind enough to help you, but you treated me like this! You bastard, how dare you lie to me!"
Woohoo...it turns out what my sister-in-law said in her heart was true. Lin Yanbang is a big liar!
Pei Jinyu cried and went back to the Duke's Mansion with Pei Jingchuan. When they got back to the Duke's Mansion, Xu Qingyan was waiting for them in the hall with the Duke's wife.
"Wow...Sister-in-law, I was wrong. Lin Yanbang is a bad guy and a big liar!" As soon as Pei Jinyu saw Xu Qingyan, he threw himself into her arms and burst into tears.
Xu Qingyan was stunned when Pei Jinyu hugged her, and whispered: "What's wrong with you?"
Pei Jinyu said nothing, just kept crying.
