"Hey, that's good. Come and sit down. We have something to talk about."
Seeing that Xin Wei accepted it obediently, Feng Yuyun happily pulled them all over to sit down, and instructed Su Wei to pour them all hot tea. Su Wei was still happy to serve the people. It turned out that beauty is the greatest power.
"Fengming, you suddenly sent a message last night saying you wanted to see us. Is there something important?"
Feng Yuyun refused Su Wei's invitation to sit next to him and sat between Feng Ming and Xin Wu. Su Wei was so depressed that he returned to normal, and even had a little anger of a single dog. He wanted to expose Tu Nan and Feng Ming who were silently communicating with each other and flashing ambiguous sparks, so as soon as everyone sat down, he started asking questions.
"Well, there have been a lot of things these past few days, especially yesterday. There were so many important things that I felt it was necessary to meet and discuss it with you."
Fengming originally wanted to pull his hand away from Tunan, but Tunan didn't want to, so the two of them continued talking hand in hand. Jealousy made the single dog Su Wei shift his gaze and pretend not to see it.
Fengming then started the story from when they met Bai Baozhu in Jiangnan Pavilion and Bai Baozhu was scolded and retreated.
When talking about Bai Baozhu coming uninvited and winning over a group of wealthy ladies, Xin Wu sneered and said, "She is still the same as before, always doing those superficial things to win people's hearts."
Later, when Xin Wu heard Feng Yuyun vividly describing the scene of Bai Baozhu being driven away that day, she really wanted to applaud Feng Ming, as if this was the first time she heard of Bai Baozhu being humiliated since she saved her. How could she not be happy?
Next, it talked about how Sheng Jicheng asked them to go to the camp outside the city to look at crossbows and arrows in order to avenge his girlfriend, and planned to threaten and intimidate them with a rain of arrows. However, Feng Xiyun took advantage of the situation and now he has been temporarily stripped of his military power.
It was not until this time that everyone realized that Feng Xiyun did not come today. Poor Feng Xiyun was holding the dog in the guesthouse, feeling lonely and cold, and had no sense of existence at all.
Su Wei reasoned that if Feng Xiyun hadn't cut through the hail of arrows and averted death in the camp outside the city, Sheng Jicheng would have gone to the rescue himself. He certainly wouldn't have watched Feng Ming and the others get hurt. He was probably just trying to intimidate them and embarrass them.
By the way, when they were frightened and panicked by the rain of arrows, Sheng Jicheng jumped out to save them. This not only cleared his name of having planned it in advance, but also allowed him to use the opportunity to make Fengming and the others owe him a favor. It was like killing two birds with one stone!
"This man is a man of deep scheming, yet you have caused him to temporarily lose his military power. You must be careful during this period. I am worried that he will do something extreme to retaliate against you."
Tunan, who had remained silent and merely listened, always spoke at crucial moments. After all, to him, revenge for Xin Wu was a minor matter; Fengming's safety was paramount. If Sheng Jicheng had murdered the Xin family for Bai Baozhu and the Xin family's wealth, then now that Fengming and her companions had caused him to lose such a significant military position, he worried that Sheng Jicheng would send someone to assassinate Fengming and the others.
After all, if Fengming and his companions were truly assassinated and successfully injured, he would have a legitimate reason to reinforce Mingcheng's defenses and retrieve the military token. He could then simply capture some petty thief and hand over the task. The fact that he actually arranged for Fengming and his companions to be under the hail of arrows showed that he had no deep awe for the distinguished guests from the Great Qing Empire.
"Tunan is right. Why don't we let Captain Ye go back and follow you? I'm also worried that Sheng Jicheng will send someone to assassinate you. Captain Ye is used to following you, so he'll be more assured in protecting you."
Su Wei also agreed with Tuanan's idea. Sometimes you really have to be more careful against villains.
"I don't think so. We'll just stay in the guesthouse for the time being. We have both secret guards and Dongyao's guards. Sheng Jicheng is still relatively young after all, so he probably won't be that bold."
Fengming was a little hesitant. Ye Xuwen was a good investigator, and simply protecting her would not be enough to maximize his effectiveness.
"Oh, let's not talk about this for now. There's something else." Seeing that Tunan and Su Wei were still trying to persuade him, Fengming quickly changed the subject. "I found a dog yesterday. You'll never guess who it belongs to."
Seeing that the topic was about dogs, Feng Yuyun also had a playful look on her face. She looked at Su Weitunan and Xin Wu, who were looking at each other in confusion. Why did the topic suddenly jump from Sheng Jicheng to dogs? Wasn't that a big jump?
"Is this related to what we were talking about? Why are you suddenly talking about dogs?"
Su Wei was unhappy with Feng Ming's change of subject, but Feng Ming ignored his somewhat annoyed tone and looked at Xin Wu and said, "It's the dog of Uncle Xin Jiu's daughter!"
"What? Uncle Jiu? It's Xinyi?"
Xin Wu was originally puzzled as to why Feng Ming suddenly focused his attention on her. When she heard the word "Uncle Jiu" from Feng Ming's mouth, she was stunned for a moment.
"Is Xinyi the name of Uncle Xin Jiu's daughter? If so, then it should be correct."
Fengming briefly recounted the story of picking up the dog yesterday and what the translator overheard the old veterinarian talking about.
When Xin Wu heard that Xin Yi had passed away in an accident some time ago, he suddenly collapsed and went blank. His face lost all color, and his big eyes stared blankly ahead, tears streaming down his face. Xiao Xin Wei was so panicked that she quickly reached out to wipe her tears, shouting in panic, "Sister, sister..."
Xin Wu was brought back to his senses by Xin Wei's act of wiping his tears. He suppressed his emotions and asked Feng Ming: "Your Highness, are you sure Xin Yi is in trouble?"
Feng Ming couldn't bear to look at her, so he just stood up and walked out the door, called Ye Xuwen, and asked him to immediately send someone to investigate the matter of Uncle Xin Jiu and Uncle Xin Jiu's daughter as soon as possible, absolutely as soon as possible.
Xin Wu just watched her movements, but in fact, he had no hope in his heart. Xin Yi had grown up with her since childhood. Back then, Uncle Xin Jiu had been his father's right-hand man, and Xin Yi had been her inseparable twin.
Before Xin Wei was born and before Bai Baozhu appeared, Xin Wu's best friend was Xishan in the palace and Xinyi outside the palace. They were just like her biological sisters. She was thinking that after this revenge was over and she got her identity back, she would appear in front of Xinyi in surprise. Why is Xinyi gone?
Everyone looked at Xin Wu with some concern, and the room fell silent for a moment.
After a long while, Xin Wucai forced himself to put on a smile that was uglier than crying. "It's okay, it's okay. Let's talk about this when Captain Ye comes back. Your Highness, we haven't been together for the past few days, so let me tell you about the situation here."
Xin Wei reached out to smooth Xin Wu's frown distressedly, and comforted her: "Don't cry, sister, I'm here, I'm here."
