"Madam Jiang instructed us to find an opportunity to assassinate the young lady if we failed to assassinate the Marquis. However, these two groups have all been executed."
Shen Huaixu nodded, "I'll just tell Dad about what happened today. Are you guys injured?"
Xiaoman shook her head. "They're just minor injuries. They won't cause any problems."
"Come up and I'll help you deal with it. As for Xiaohan, I'll leave some medicine for him later."
Xiaoman took a step back and said, "I'm afraid the blood on my body might have offended the young lady..."
Her voice gradually weakened. The lady's fixed gaze on her made her scalp tingle. "I'll be right there."
Chen Huaixu never thought of having a master-servant relationship with Xiaoman, Shuangjiang and the others. In ancient times, master and servant were the norm. It would be considered abnormal for a lady from a wealthy family to be friends with servants in the eyes of others.
But as a young lady from a wealthy family who had just changed her career, it was okay for her to be a little different, as long as she didn't overdo it. After all, she wouldn't feel comfortable having someone serve her in everything.
Returning to the house outside the city, Shen Huaixu did not hide from Shen Su the attack on the road.
"Are you injured?" Anxiety appeared on Shen Su's face.
Xiaoman and Xiaohan were skilled in martial arts, but they were no match for four. He couldn't help but feel a pang of fear in his heart. He should have arranged more people to guard Miaomiao.
"No, I'm not injured. Xiaoman and the others were slightly injured." Shen Huaixu turned around on the spot, indicating that he was fine. "When I left yesterday, I told you to keep everything simple. Dad, please don't blame yourself, otherwise I would feel guilty."
Chen Su paused, Miaomiao was good in every way, but she was too insightful. Premature wisdom will always bring harm, he didn't know whether it was good or bad.
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Shen Su said softly: "As long as Miaomiao is okay, daddy will help you get revenge."
The last sentence was like a whisper, but Shen Huaixu could hear the murderous intent in the tone.
She took Daddy's hand and shook it with a smile, "Mother, Auntie, and Sister-in-law brought me a lot of home-cooked food. Ask the cook to make some for lunch, Daddy."
"good."
After lunch, Shen Huaixu began to feel sleepy.
Seeing her nodding her head, Shen Su said helplessly, "Go to sleep for a while, we will set off tomorrow."
Chen Huaixu murmured "hmm" in confusion and returned to his room.
Chen Su watched his daughter disappear around the corner, his face, as if caressed by the breeze, suddenly became gloomy. "Lidong."
"yes."
"Chop off one of the Jiang family's third son's hands and consider it my early birthday gift to my aunt."
A long-suppressed sinister look appeared in Chen Su's eyes, like a wolf about to bite off a piece of meat from its prey.
"I understand."
On the way to the capital, Marquis Xuanping and his newly found little daughter, a major event occurred in Huaizhou City.
Every prominent family in Huaizhou knew that the Jiang family's third son had spent half his life as a playboy, enjoying himself only by eating, drinking, and having fun. His latest passion was gambling.
After he walked out of the gambling house for the last time, a living person disappeared on the street. A day later, the Third Young Master Jiang appeared at the gate of the Jiang Mansion with a hand in a wooden box.
When Mrs. Jiang saw the miserable condition of her youngest son, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
From then on, Mrs. Cao, the wife of Jiang Da, had white hair and fell ill.
Cutting off one's hands is usually a trick used by gambling houses to collect debts. Everyone speculated that Young Master Jiang owed the gambling house money and refused to pay it back, so he was retaliated by the gambling house.
All the major gambling houses immediately came out to say that they were running their businesses honestly and would never do such bloody things.
After much investigation, no culprit could be found, so the matter remained unsolved.
To make matters worse, not long after this incident, the Jiang family was surrounded by soldiers. The head of the Jiang family and his wife, who were both lying in bed, were charged with corruption and bribery and thrown into prison.
In a short time, the monkeys scattered when the tree fell, and everyone who was on good terms with the Jiang family felt insecure.
Shen Huaixu was unaware of the exciting events happening in Huaizhou City at this time. After riding in a carriage for many days in a row, she missed the Futuan as a means of transportation very much.
It's fast, stable and comfortable, it's simply great.
But the reality was that she still had to ride in the carriage for another day. If the carriage wasn't big enough for her to sleep in, she suspected her butt would be broken into pieces.
Even so, she did not forget to write down what she saw and heard on the road, intending to send it back home when she arrived in the capital.
One day later, Shen Huaixu arrived at the legendary capital. She curiously lifted the car window curtain and looked out.
The gate of the capital city was more majestic and taller than any other gate she had ever seen. One had to queue up to enter the city gate, but thanks to the Marquis' father, they were able to use the green channel.
Even if you use the green channel, you will not escape being thoroughly checked by the soldiers guarding the city gate, and they will only allow you to pass after the inspection.
As soon as she entered the city gate, Shen Huaixu was attracted by the dazzling array of goods on both sides of the road. There were many objects or foods that she had never seen before and could not name.
Xiaoman looked at the young lady with a smile in her eyes. Before, she always felt that the young lady was not like a child of her age. She only showed some childishness in front of the Marquis and his family. Now she looked more lively.
The carriage did not stay on the street for long. It continued for a while until there were not so many pedestrians on the road before it stopped in front of a house.
Shen Huaixu helped Xiaoman out of the car by the arm, moved his arms and legs slightly, and then walked up to his father.
"Dad, are we going to live here from now on?"
Chen Su nodded, "This place is quite close to the Imperial City. It was given to me by His Majesty, but Daddy has never lived here. Let's go. The place should be ready by now."
