When Dongsheng heard this, his face turned even paler and his bloodless lips trembled.
Ren Yaoqi saw that he had softened somewhat. She continued, "Now that things have come to this, even if you tell others we're not involved, they won't believe you. Instead, why don't you just tell me the truth? Let's find a way to resolve this."
Unexpectedly, Dongsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, his expression showing deep helplessness: "It's no use, I'm in big trouble. Cousin, you're right, I should have left quietly."
Ren Yaoqi listened quietly and shook his head. "You knocked out those maids because they saw something? And you sent my third sister back because you were worried that she would be alone and in danger?"
Dongsheng smiled sheepishly: "They probably didn't see it, I was just in case."
Ren Yaoqi looked at him without saying anything.
Dongsheng looked at Ren Yaoqi's calm face, thinking that her previous words made sense. Somehow, he pulled out a letter from his sleeve: "I took a mountain path to distract those who were chasing me. I didn't expect to see a person lying on the mountain path. I walked over and saw that the person was dead. I saw a letter like this on the ground next to him. I picked it up and read it. Seeing that there was no signature on it, I knew something was wrong."
After a pause, he continued, "I was about to put the letter back when I heard someone coming. After hesitating for a moment, I put the letter away and went to check. I saw that it was my third sister and a few others looking for us. I was afraid they would run into the man on the ground, so I secretly led them somewhere else. After finally getting far away from that place, I was about to show up when my third sister suddenly remembered that I had led them in a circle just to cover for others. So she ordered the maids to go back the way we came. Seeing this, I looked for an opportunity to lead my third sister away, then knocked out the maids and hid them."
"Then I wanted to send my third sister back. Unexpectedly, she was somewhat hostile to me, thinking I had some ulterior motive. She... The letter I had placed on my lapel was accidentally pulled out by her and fell to the ground. I was startled and wanted to take the letter back, but she had already torn open the seal."
At this point, Dongsheng pursed his lips and said, "I can only think that the letter was written by me to a girl I like, and my third sister returned it to me. I saw that the seal of the letter had been opened, so I simply opened it and read it. I was shocked when I saw it. There was no mark on the envelope, but the letter inside was...it couldn't be seen by the light..."
When the letter was snatched away by Ren Yaohua, he finally understood why Xia Sheng and the others always said that his martial arts skills were too weak.
He was different from Xia Sheng and the others. He was not a secret guard or a bodyguard. He was originally just an ordinary servant. He learned martial arts only because of the situation, just in case, so as not to hold his masters back at the critical moment.
Because of this, although his martial arts skills are ordinary, his running and jumping skills are first-rate, and even Xia Sheng can't outrun him.
"Oh?" Ren Yaoqi frowned and pondered.
If possible, she felt that she shouldn't ask any further, but now this matter is not that simple. Covering one's ears and stealing the bell is not a good idea. No matter what, Ren Yaohua has been implicated.
Dongsheng was silent for a long time, then suddenly whispered, "That's a secret report from the court to General Zhao Ming."
Dongsheng came out anyway.
He had no other choice. If he had not met Li You just now, he would know nothing.
Unfortunately, he had already dragged his master into this, and he couldn't think of a way to resolve it. He also didn't know if someone was secretly following him.
He didn't know who to talk to about this matter. Of the three masters present, the other two were not suitable.
After all, he is just a servant and there is no way he can do much.
