Chen Cheng was short and agile, so by the time Ding Chan spotted him, he had already disappeared. Not knowing where he'd gone, Ding Chan could only search everywhere.
Chen Cheng ran to Hanshuiyuan and wanted to rush in to ask if Li Chaoyun wanted to harm his mother.
But when he reached the door, he calmed down again. He wondered, if he asked that, would the other person tell the truth? If it were him, he certainly wouldn't tell the truth.
Thinking of this, Chen Cheng felt that he had been impulsive just now.
I wanted to leave but was unwilling to do so, so I could only look around Hanshuiyuan.
When he walked out of the backyard, he suddenly heard voices coming from inside. He couldn't hear clearly, so he looked around anxiously.
Seeing two large stones not far away, Shen Cheng's eyes lit up. He laboriously moved the two stones to the wall and stacked them together.
He didn't care whether it was stable or not, as long as he didn't fall when he stepped on it.
He stood on the stone, lifted his feet and looked inside.
With his chin resting on the courtyard wall, he could barely see the scene in the yard.
Inside was the small garden of Hanshui Courtyard. Li Chaoyun was taking a walk around the garden, followed by her maid Danju.
At this moment, Li Chaoyun was asking, "Is there still no movement from over there?"
Danju shook her head and said, "Don't be impatient, Princess. Things like this always take some time."
Although they didn't say it explicitly, Shen Cheng knew that they were talking about plotting against their mother.
He grabbed the edge of the high wall with both hands, glared at the people in the yard, and was eager to do something to punish Li Chaoyun.
But I haven’t figured out what to do.
As Chen Cheng was pondering, he felt a dull pain in his waist. Subconsciously, he touched it and found the slingshot he had made a few days ago.
He turned around and looked around, and saw the flower field not far away, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
Chen Cheng jumped down from the rock and ran to the edge of the flower field. It happened that the flower field had just been fertilized and was covered with horse manure.
He didn't mind the dirt, so he picked up the horse manure and rolled it into a ball. He ran back to the edge of the yard and stood on the stone.
Fortunately, Li Chaoyun hasn't left yet.
Chen Cheng took out a slingshot, put the ball of horse manure in the middle of the slingshot, and aimed it at Li Chaoyun.
He had been able to play with these since he was a child, so it was easy for him to aim at Li Chaoyun. With a snap, the horse manure ball in Shen Cheng's hand shot out.
Just as Chen Cheng had imagined, the horse dung ball hit Li Chaoyun directly in the face.
Li Chaoyun was still talking to Danju and didn't understand what was happening when he was hit. Then he smelled a foul stench.
She subconsciously dodged to the side, but stepped on the horse manure that had just fallen on the ground.
The horse manure was still wet, and Li Chaoyun slipped backwards when he stepped on it. Then he fell backwards and fell directly to the ground.
Danju was terrified, "Princess, are you okay?"
For a moment, she didn't know whether to help the person up first or wipe her face first.
When he finally helped Li Chaoyun up, he used a handkerchief to wipe her face. Although it couldn't be wiped completely clean, at least her mouth and nose were exposed.
Li Chaoyun was trembling with anger, but he couldn't speak, fearing that if he spoke, something filthy would enter his mouth.
I just felt my stomach churning and I wanted to vomit but couldn't.
Danju asked worriedly, "Princess, I'll help you get in and take a bath. You fell, are you feeling any discomfort?"
Li Chaoyun was so angry that he felt a dull pain in his lower abdomen when Danju asked him.
She subconsciously covered her stomach and said, "Call the doctor and check what happened just now."
Seeing Li Chaoyun in such a mess, Chen Cheng finally let out a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that he would be discovered if he delayed any longer, so he planned to leave quietly.
But before he could wait any longer, he heard someone shouting not far away, "Which courtyard does that servant belong to? How dare he climb the master's wall?"
It was really because Chen Cheng's clothes were extremely dirty today, and since he was far away, he was mistaken for a servant.
When those people shouted, people from Hanshuiyuan came out. Before Shen Cheng could run away, he was caught by the people from Hanshuiyuan.
For a moment, Hanshuiyuan was in chaos. Soon the doctor arrived and diagnosed Li Chaoyun with miscarriage.
When Li Chaoyun heard that it was Chen Cheng who plotted against her and made those things to disgust her, she was filled with hatred.
"Danju, why did Chen Cheng come to Hanshuiyuan? Isn't he... a bait?" Li Chaoyun asked in a low voice while lying on the bed while the doctor was out writing a prescription.
Danju whispered, "Princess, it was the Fifth Young Master who ran away midway and informed Madam Xiang."
"Luckily, that person noticed something was wrong in time and ran away for fear of making a mistake."
Li Chaoyun gritted his teeth and cursed, "What a waste."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Send someone to the Li family to tell them that I was bullied in the Shen family and almost had a miscarriage. Let my mother take charge of the matter for me."
"Go to Qingyuan Residence and ask the old lady to save my life."
Danju was stunned for a moment, then understood and said, "Yes, I'll go right away."
Soon, the news that the fifth young master had used despicable means to cause Princess Chaoyun to almost have a miscarriage spread throughout the Shen family.
In the west courtyard of the Shen family, Su Qingyu was talking to Xiangdong in the side hall.
Xiangdong had just arrived at Wanxiang Hall and hadn't found anyone, so she came to the West Courtyard. With such a big incident happening in the mansion, she had to inform Su Qingyu, the head lady of the household.
Just like Shen Cheng thought, Su Qingyu's first reaction was to determine that it was Li Chaoyun's doing.
The Li family had just sent someone to deliver something to Li Chaoyun half an hour ago, and a number of people had also come with them. How could such a coincidence happen when the Li family members left and something happened in the mansion?
It seems that Li Chaoyun is desperate to come up with such a vicious trick.
Xiangdong was also furious, her face darkening. "She can plot against me in any way she wants, but Cheng'er is still so young, and she actually dared to lay hands on a child."
Su Qingyu turned around and asked Feicui beside her, "Jiang Qi is interrogating An Lu. Is there any news?"
After Xiangdong explained the situation to Su Qingyu, she instructed Jiang Qi to interrogate An Lu. It would be best if they could identify Li Chaoyun.
Emerald shook her head and replied, "It's still under review."
As soon as she finished speaking, Pearl hurried in.
"Madam, Jiang Qi has finished his interrogation. According to An Lu, a stranger threatened his sister's life and asked him to lead the Fifth Young Master and Madam Xiang over."
This result was similar to what Su Qingyu had expected. It was impossible for Li Chaoyun to have any evidence in such a matter.
Zhenzhu asked again, "Madam, Jiang Qi wants to ask you, what should be done with An Lu?"
Su Qingyu said calmly, "30 strokes of the cane and then sold off."
Zhenzhu turned around to go out and pass on the message, but before she even walked out of the side hall, she almost bumped into Chuntao who came in to report the news.
Chuntao walked quickly to Su Qingyu and Xiangdong and reported in a deep voice.
"My dear ladies, the Fifth Young Master has been detained by the Hanshui Courtyard. They say he attacked the princess, causing her to fall and nearly miscarry."
