Chapter 337 Nangong Jin Returns
Li Yi and Xu Miaomiao worked together to put Princess Jiahe on the bed, then gently closed the door, turned around and left. The two went outside the house to start discussing.
Xu Miaomiao looked at Li Yi seriously and said, "This kind of discovery in Nangong Mansion should not be underestimated. I believe you can clearly understand the key points even if I don't tell you. How to protect yourself, you must know it even if the master doesn't teach you, right?"
Li Yi nodded after hearing what Xu Miaomiao said: "Master, don't worry. After all, I have been in this capital for so many years, so I have learned some skills to save my life."
Li Yi responded to Xu Miaomiao's words.
As soon as the two finished speaking, there was a creaking sound from the door, and the door was slowly opened. Dabao and Nangong Jin hurried over, followed by a group of guards. When he saw Xu Miaomiao, Nangong Jin was a little surprised. After confirming that he was not hurt, he saw the scattered figures in the yard, frowned, and ordered: "See if there are any survivors."
Everyone nodded and dispersed.
"Madam Xu, why are you here?"
Xu Miaomiao originally wanted to ask Nangong Jin for a favor, but she couldn't say it now. After all, the Nangong Mansion had suffered such a great disaster, and the most important thing was to solve their problems first.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately said, "Today is the day when Dabao and Li Yi are coming back. I came to see them off, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Fortunately, when we came, Princess Jiahe was not hurt and is now lying in the house."
But Nangong Jin's mind didn't seem to be on Xu Miaomiao's words. He looked at her and said, "What about you? Are you hurt?"
Xu Miaomiao was silenced by Nangong Jin's sudden question, and immediately shook her head and said, "I'm not injured. With Dabao and Li Yi here, those people can't hurt me."
When Nangong Jin heard this, he nodded slightly, waved his hand, and ordered the people beside him: "Search for them all, don't miss any corner of the mansion."
Nangong Jin brought back many people, and they quickly cleaned up the courtyard. Xu Miaomiao also sat down and started discussing such things with Nangong Jin: "I wonder what happened to the Nangong family that such a thing would happen? This happened in the capital. Besides, the Nangong family is an important official, so this shouldn't happen."
Xu Miaomiao asked anxiously, but this was the private matter of the Nangong family after all. Seeing Nangong Jin remained silent, thinking that she thought she was talking too much, Xu Miaomiao changed her expression and immediately added: "This is the private matter of the Nangong family. I only asked a few more questions because Dabao is here. If Mr. Nangong thinks I am talking too much, then just don't answer."
"No, Madam Xu." That's not what I meant. Nangong Jin saw Xu Miaomiao's look and was about to speak immediately, "It's just that I was also thinking, the Nangong family is an important official in the court, and there are many people in the Nangong lineage. There shouldn't be anyone who wouldn't be bold enough to attack the Nangong family. Now he dares to bully us openly. I think he must know my Nangong family very well and hate us very much. He must know us very well, so he came to our door. But I really can't think of who would do such a thing for a moment."
Xu Miaomiao also remained silent. As a woman, she didn't want to get involved in the grievances of Nangong Jin and the others. Seeing Xu Miaomiao's brows slightly frowned, Nangong Jin also knew her worries, so he immediately took the initiative to speak: "I understand your worries. The Nangong family is busy now, and I don't have time to teach Dabao and Li Yi. Why don't you take them back?"
Xu Miaomiao looked at Nangong Jin in surprise when she heard this, and immediately stood up, bowed to Nangong Jin, and said, "Miaomiao is indeed selfish. Now Dabao and Li Yi are both children raised under your hands, so they should naturally serve your family, but I really don't want them to fall into danger. Thank you, Mr. Nangong."
The two thought that the matter had been settled, but the door was suddenly opened, and Dabao and Li Yi walked forward with swords in hand and some dissatisfaction.
Dabao first looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Mr. Nangong taught me a lesson. How could I abandon him in such a time of crisis? That would be disloyal and unfilial. Mother, please forgive me. I cannot go back with you today."
"Yes, Master, me too." Li Yi at the side continued Dabao's words and said, "Before I met Master, it was Mr. Nangong who always taught me and never looked down on me. Now that the Nangong family has suffered this for no reason, why should I leave halfway and leave Mr. Nangong to face it alone? Today, I must stay here with Mr. Nangong to help him through this disaster."
Nangong Jin frowned slightly when he heard the voice.
Xu Miaomiao, however, seemed to have expected this and shook her head helplessly: "I know your personalities to some extent. In this case, you two can stay here, but remember to protect yourself, understand?"
Nangong Jinjin listened to Xu Miaomiao's words, nodded to him, and said, "Don't worry, I'm here and will definitely not let them get hurt."
Xu Miaomiao was relieved. "If that's the case, then I'm relieved. It must be their blessing that they can learn skills in Mr. Nangong's house. If that's the case, then I'll take my leave first."
Xu Miaomiao slowly stood up, bowed to Nangong Jin, and was about to leave, but just as she was about to leave, Nangong Jin suddenly called her, "Madam Xu."
Hearing Nangong Jin's voice, Xu Miaomiao was suddenly stunned. She turned around and saw Nangong Jin quietly stepped forward, raised his wrist, and gently stroked the fallen leaves on Xu Miaomiao's shoulder.
Xu Miaomiao was startled and immediately took a step away from him. She had gotten into a lot of trouble because of her closeness to Nangong Jin back then. Now, Princess Jiahe and Song Zhijin still regarded her as a thorn in their eyes. It was already too much for her to visit them rashly today. If she had any intimate behavior with Nangong Jin, I'm afraid these two people would not let her go.
Nangong Jin saw Xu Miaomiao taking a step back and he couldn't help but put down his fingers awkwardly, but then he quietly clenched his fists and lowered his head. The two looked at each other in silence, but from a distance, it looked like a scene of love between a man and a woman.
I saw Jiahe Lord push the door open with a thud, and yelled at Nangong Jin or Miaomiao: "You two adulterers."
