The ceremony of crowning the king was still in preparation, and the Prince of Yan's Mansion had not been repaired yet. In Yu Jin's view, these were trivial matters not worth mentioning, and certainly not as important as meeting Jiang Si.

That day, the ginger tears were like little spikes, knocking a hole in his heart.

He really wanted to know why she was so sad, but she actually stayed in the Yongchang Earl's Mansion and refused to leave!

Thinking of the handsome young man with cold eyes and eyebrows in the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, Prince Yu Qi felt uneasy.

He had already found out everything clearly. The prince of Yongchang Earl and Asi were childhood sweethearts and had known each other since they were young. Now that they were both sensible, they spent every day together. What if Asi suddenly became upset?

That’s right, in Yu Jin’s opinion, Jiang Sixin would be disappointed if she was with any man other than him!

"Master, have some water." Long Dan handed over a kettle.

Yu Jin reached out to take it, took a sip of water, his expression suddenly froze, and the hand holding the kettle couldn't help but increase the strength.

Outside the gate of Yongchang Marquis's residence, Xie Yinlou stopped and bowed to Jiang Si: "Jiang Simei, I'm sorry to bother you these days."

According to the rules, people in deep mourning cannot enter other people's homes.

Jiang Si knelt down and returned the greeting: "Thank you, brother, you don't have to be so polite. Qingyao and I are best friends."

Xie Yinlou's cold expression softened slightly: "Qingyao is lucky to have a friend like Jiang Simei."

Jiang Si felt guilty, lowered his eyes to avoid Xie Yinlou's sight, and said softly: "No. Brother Xie, I will go back home first, so as not to disturb you."

In just seven days, Xie Yinlou had lost a lot of weight. The white linen mourning clothes that were loose on his body made him look even more handsome and tall.

The death of both parents at the same time is undoubtedly extremely difficult for someone who has to rely on himself, both mentally and physically.

Xie Yinlou stared at Jiang Si. He wanted to smile but he didn't have the strength. It was not the right time either, so he could only soften his voice and said, "Fourth sister Jiang, take care."

Jiang Si nodded slightly and left in a hurry.

Xie Yinlou stood there for a moment, then turned around and went back home.

Yu Jin was so angry that he crushed the kettle, threw away the stopper, and drank the water with his head tilted back.

Long Dan saw this and shook his head secretly: It seems that the master is drinking vinegar instead of water.

Drops of water flowed down the corners of Yu Jin's mouth and sank into his neck. When the kettle was finished, he threw the kettle away and strode towards the Dongping Marquis's Mansion.

As expected, what you fear will come to pass. Just now, Ah Si didn't even dare to look at that kid Xie Yinlou.

"Master——" Long Dan raised his foot to chase after him.

Yu Jin paused and stared at Long Dan: "Let me ask you, what does it mean when a girl is shy in front of a man?"

Long Dan blurted out: "Does it mean that she loves him?"

Yu Jin's face turned completely dark.

Long Dan blinked.

I think I got it right!

Seeing Yu Jin was about to leave, Long Dan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Master, where are you going?"

"Go and ask her."

Long Dan slapped his forehead and said, "Master, this is not Southern Xinjiang. There are so many people here watching the excitement. It's probably inappropriate for you to chase them to the gate and ask them questions, right?"

Yu Jin closed his eyes, then opened them again, trying his best to suppress the jealousy that was boiling in his heart, and said coldly, "You're right."

If it's not appropriate during the day, then I'll ask at night. Anyway, Ah Si will be home.

What? Breaking into a room at night is not what a gentleman does?

Haha, he is a lecher, but he only likes to act like a hooligan to Ah Si.

Yu Jian was the type of person who would not look back once he made up his mind, so he made up his mind, left Long Dan behind and walked back.

Go home and recuperate first.

Because of the funeral at the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, the entire street was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, and soon separated Yu Jin and Long Dan.

Long Dan fell behind and shouted: "Master, wait for me——"

Yu Jin's mind was still replaying the scene of the girl lowering her eyes shyly. She didn't care about the guards' shouts and walked faster and faster.

A man walked past Yu Jin.

The man had very ordinary features and his clothes were also very ordinary. He looked like an inconspicuous drop of water in a crowd. He was the kind of person you would forget his appearance even after just meeting him.

Such a person walked past Yu Jin in the crowded crowd, naturally without attracting any attention.

When the two men passed each other, a cold light flashed from the man's sleeve, and the sharp dagger stabbed at Yu Jin.

Although Yu Jin was absent-minded, years of fighting on the battlefield and his natural talent had given him an amazing intuition about danger. When the man raised the dagger, his body reacted by dodging to the side, and he raised his hand to grab the man's wrist.

The dagger that was originally aimed at his heart finally just passed through his forearm.

The dagger cut his hair into pieces, and the bamboo-green silk robe was instantly torn apart, with blood oozing out from his forearm.

A tingling sensation came over me.

Yu Jin's expression suddenly changed.

The dagger is poisonous!

"Master!" Long Dan saw this unusual situation through the crowd and no longer cared about anything else. He pushed away the people blocking the way in front of him and rushed over.

In this instant, Yu Jin and the man holding the dagger had already clashed several times, and the speed was so fast that it didn't even attract the attention of the people around him.

Seeing Long Dan rushing over, the man immediately retreated, dived into the crowd and ran away.

"Go after him!" Yu Jin decisively gave the order to Long Dan.

Although Long Dan was cheerful and somewhat disrespectful in front of Yu Jin on weekdays, he did not dare to compromise on his master's orders at the critical moment and immediately chased after him.

He didn't know that Yu Jin had been poisoned at this moment.

As Long Dan continued to push aside those who were blocking his way and run forward, people finally noticed something was wrong and their lively nature prompted them to follow.

Yu Jin took the opportunity to come to the side of the road and took a look at the wound on his arm.

He reacted quickly at the time. The wound was actually only a shallow one, but the blood that had seeped out had turned black at this time.

Yu Jin reached out and touched the purse tied around her waist.

In his purse was a set of detoxification pills he had obtained in the south, which could cure all kinds of poisons.

But when his hand touched the well-made purse, he stopped moving. He changed his mind instantly and ran in one direction with a slight stumble.

If Long Dan was still there, he would have discovered that Yu Jin was not heading towards Quezi Hutong, but in the opposite direction.

After walking through several alleys, Yu Jin leaned against a door and knocked hard on it.

"Who?" A vigilant voice came from inside the door, and from the voice it could be heard that it was a young man.

"Me." Yu Jin replied simply.

There was silence inside the door.

"Who are you?" After a moment, the voice from inside the door sounded again.

At this moment, there was a bang from outside the door, as if something heavy had hit the door.

The young man inside the door was startled.

Could it be that some wicked person came to knock on the door?

He put his ear close to the sound and listened, but could hear nothing.

After thinking about it, the young man quietly opened the door a crack, and when he looked out, he couldn't help but shudder.

There is a person lying outside the door!

The young man opened the door instantly.
