Jiaheng caught a glimpse of Fourth Master's expression and wanted to laugh, but Fourth Master's accumulated prestige was so great that he only puffed up his cheeks before quickly suppressing his laughter.
However, those dark eyes that avoided Fourth Master's gaze were bright and clear.
Without his sister by his side to take care of him these days, he has been making all the decisions. Now more mature, he understands very well that he cannot be provoked by the Fourth Master, otherwise, who knows if the Fourth Master will take his anger out on E Yun.
However, he wanted to divert some of her attention from him to Fourth Master.
.
Jiaheng's eyes flickered, thinking to himself: This is impossible. It's been so long since I've enjoyed Eyun's concern. Now that I have the chance, I must take full advantage of it. Anyway, I didn't discover your intentions (yeah right). Although it's a little embarrassing for you to be ignored, ignorance is bliss, right?
After his parents passed away, Jiaheng was raised by Jiaming. It is said that like father, like son, and now it is also true that like sister, like brother.
Jiaming seemed oblivious to the exchange between Jiaheng and Fourth Master, but even if she had noticed, she would have acted as if nothing had happened, just like Jiaheng.
"I heard you were hit by a horse yesterday?" Jiaming asked Jiaheng with concern.
"Eyun, I'm fine!" Jiaheng laughed. "Didn't you just get checked?"
"Yes, I did get checked. I was afraid you might have suffered some internal injury and were hiding it from me."
Jiaheng shook his head and said confidently, "Eyun, it's really nothing, I won't lie to you."
...
Watching the siblings fuss over each other, the neglected Fourth Master drank one, two, three cups of tea before finally getting restless.
"I'm leaving. I'll give you one hour. When you arrive, Jiaheng, come to the study with Su Peisheng. I have something to tell you." The Fourth Master's expression was cold. He flicked his sleeve, turned around, and walked out.
As for Su Peisheng, he was left in Peach Garden by the Fourth Master, who was waiting for the time to arrest Guarjia Jiaheng, cough cough, to take him away.
Actually, according to Fourth Master's mind, if you dare to ignore me like this, I will immediately separate you and send that brat Guarjia Jiaheng home as soon as possible.
However, after glancing at the woman's delicate, jade-like hands, he paused, then looked at her gently stroking her belly. "Never mind," he thought, "my offspring are more important. Let you continue, and put Guarjia's mind at ease."
The Fourth Master's sudden action startled Jiaming and Jiaheng. Watching his retreating figure disappear into the doorway as soon as he finished speaking, and remembering the "one-hour" limit he had just mentioned, the two immediately became anxious.
They opened their mouths as if to ask him to change his mind and extend the time, but the siblings stopped talking at the same time, just as if by unspoken agreement.
Once Fourth Master makes a decision, he rarely changes it. Moreover, the siblings exchanged a glance. Their earlier neglect of him—cough cough, unintentional neglect—had already caused problems. Perhaps if they asked to extend their meeting time, Fourth Master, in a fit of anger, would retaliate even more harshly and not even give them half an hour!
There was only one hour left. After Fourth Master left, Jiaming dismissed all the other servants who were there, as she and her brother had some private things to talk about.
"Jiaheng, how have you been lately?" While asking about someone's recent situation, she was actually holding the person's hand and writing some words on their palm: Have you investigated the horse and the person who hit you?
"Everything's fine, Eyun, don't worry. Erlin is doing well too." Jiaheng slowly told Jiaming about the recent events that had happened at home, and of course, he was also telling the ears that might be listening through the walls.
In fact, he also held his own hand and wrote a reply on his palm: "Investigated, it was organized and premeditated."
Having received a reply, Jiaming, while Jiaheng was still speaking, immediately drew some words on his palm: "This was done by the women in the manor to target me. Be careful and tell Erlin to be careful."
After writing, Jiaheng finished speaking, and it was Jiaming's turn to speak, "It's good that you're all doing well. Father is in the afterlife..."
While his friend was speaking, Jiaheng nodded, indicating that he would be careful. At the same time, he quickly wrote in Jiaming's palm: "You be careful too."
.
Outside the house, at the door and the window, one could faintly hear voices inside, but could not see the two exchanging words on their palms.
Because they only had an hour, the siblings felt that time flew by, and soon they would have to part again.
Su Peisheng looked at the reluctant siblings, especially Guarjia Jiaheng, who kept turning back every two steps, and couldn't help but feel annoyed. Of course, he didn't know what annoyance meant.
Jiaming was reluctant to see Jiaheng leave.
But you should be disappointed, Master. Your innocent and childlike face is now dark and gloomy, and you've turned into a demon. Did you misinterpret my expression? Or rather, did you misexpress your feelings?
Hongtao pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, could it be that the master was angry because he hadn't given her enough time to meet? Yes, that's probably it. But being angry won't do, so she immediately advised, "Master? Getting angry is bad for your health and can easily upset the baby. The little prince can't take that anymore..."
Upon hearing that the child was mentioned, Jiaming took two deep breaths and began to calm herself down. After a while, her face was no longer dark, but the deep look in her bright eyes revealed that she was still bothered by it.
Of course I mind, it was my own brother Jiaheng who was attacked!
Among the women in the household, only someone from a family with the Fujin's background could have the ability to know their younger brother's schedule and cause him trouble. Of course, since Li is a time-traveling woman, it's entirely possible that she has some kind of cheat ability.
However, this is just speculation. Perhaps there is another woman in the mansion who is hiding her true abilities and has not yet been discovered by her!
However, the next day, when the Fourth Prince came to visit her, she remembered that he had said he would help investigate her brother's matter, so she immediately asked directly, "Master, how is your investigation going about Jiaheng almost being hit by a horse?"
"I investigated, and it was an accident! The maid who provoked you was arranged by Yi Shi. I've moved her to the Cold Courtyard." As he spoke, the Fourth Master's deep eyes underwent a subtle change. If Jia Ming hadn't relied on her special ability and observed carefully, she probably wouldn't have noticed his unusual expression at all.
"It's good that no one was deliberately targeting him. However, Jiaheng was too careless and almost had an accident." Jiaming complained with her head down, but she understood in her heart. It seemed that Fourth Master had lied, and he knew who it was.
She didn't believe it was just Yi Shi who did it. Yi Shi, a mere concubine, couldn't possibly have made it so that all the servants in her Peach Blossom Courtyard happened to be busy at that time, which gave that maid a chance to come to her door and make a scene. Who is the master covering up for?
In a flash, Jiaming quickly identified the two women: the primary wife and Lady Li. The primary wife had a legitimate son, while the secondary wife had a son and a daughter.
Later in the conversation, whenever she mentioned the Fujin (wife of the emperor) and Song Shi (née Song), the Fourth Prince remained expressionless. However, when she mentioned Li Shi (née Li), her keen senses revealed a change in the Fourth Prince's deep eyes.
Therefore, it is highly likely to be the Li family!
After identifying the most suspicious person, Jiaming instructed Xiao Hezi to have someone keep an eye on Li Shi and search for all sorts of useful and useless information. Hard work pays off, and after Jiaming pieced together the various fragmented pieces of information, she discovered that on the day her brother had the accident, Li Shi was very excited, very agitated, and there were other unusual things about her.
It seems it really is the Li family. Jiaming was furious and immediately decided to take revenge.
