In just a few days, the swelling on his face had subsided, leaving only a faint greenish-yellow tint, making him look even more handsome and mysterious...

My arms and shoulders don't hurt much anymore, but the doctor told me not to exert any force.

Tan looked at her handsome grandson with a smile on her face, praising him generously, "After all, you are a martial artist! The better you are, the faster you will get! That man is just a lunatic, we just didn't notice it beforehand. When you get better, you must find a chance to vent your anger!"

Qi Yue nodded.

Originally, it was Tan's birthday and we planned to have some fun for her, but after this incident, she lost the energy, so we decided to just have a family dinner at noon.

As she was getting dressed, a maid came in and said, "Madam, Mrs. Zhou at the second gate said she has something to ask you."

Tan looked at herself in the mirror and nodded: "Let her in!"

Mrs. Zhou came in and bowed: "Old Madam..."

"Well. You guys, go out first!" Tan didn't comb her hair or change her clothes. She sent the people around her out first, then asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Zhou looked around, took two steps closer, and then whispered, "A few days ago, I asked for leave from you and went to the countryside for something. I just came back yesterday, and this morning, I received a letter from the old master." Then, she lowered her voice and said something.

Tan's dark eyes froze for a moment, and she broke out in a sweat. "She's not dead, but was saved by that lunatic? Then..." Did he hit Qi Yue on purpose? Her mind raced, thinking about the connection.

Mrs. Zhou said, "My Lord said that the man might have guessed that this was not an ordinary robbery, but his people definitely did not leave any clues. You can rest assured."

"Let me be at ease?!" Tan screamed.

"Madam..." Mrs. Zhou hurriedly stopped her.

Tan lowered his voice and cursed angrily: "This idiot can't even do such a small thing! He said he didn't leave any handle, right? He said it, how could that madman realize that this is not an ordinary robbery..."

Don't worry, don't worry... Tan felt her back wet, and thought carefully: Bai Yuqing definitely didn't see me that day. He definitely didn't see Xiuyun either. No one knows about Li Qun yet. So... don't worry... there's no connection.

She was relieved, but still had doubts: But how could it be such a coincidence? There is no such thing as coincidence in this world!

"What happened to that woman?" Tan was simply filled with hatred: She's not dead yet? She's really lucky! "She's still in the Princess's Mansion. Your Excellency means that the woman is seriously injured. Even if she's alive, she probably won't have the chance to see you."

"How can you be sure? Tell him to do it again!"

"The old man said that it's not that easy to take over the Princess's Mansion, because the general is at home! We can only wait for another opportunity... He said that a woman can't live there forever, and it will be easy to take action when she returns home."

"This useless guy who is always causing trouble but can't do anything good..." Tan cursed viciously.

She was ruined by him!

Just like last time... he succeeded and caused the Bai family to be destroyed, but in the end, he got nothing! He even ran away like a stray dog.

I had no choice but to flee with my mother, pregnant, and unable to take all the good things with me. I could only take a few valuables with me... I was robbed not long after I ran away. Not only did I lose my money, but the thief also raped me. I was stripped of all my clothes. If my mother hadn't stabbed him with a hairpin...

In the end, the mother and daughter had no choice but to make themselves smelly again, just like beggars.

This is how they came, and this is how they left...

Even if she was the Marquis' wife now... But Mr. Bai's elegant figure, eyes like stars, a smile that made people forget all sorrows, and his strange language, and his concentration and seriousness when working... Who in this world could compare to him? She could have been with Xiuyun by his side. Even... had the chance to become Mrs. Bai...

This is really... a flaw that cannot be made up even if she becomes the queen.

Seeing that she was stunned, Mrs. Zhou asked, "Madam, do you have anything else to say?"

"I want to see him! In the capital, don't go to that damn temple all the time!"

"Then wait for the news..."

After Mrs. Zhou left, Tan's mood, which had just been good, instantly fell to the bottom.

Why are things going so badly? Who have I offended? The maid outside was anxious. If she didn't dress up, it would be time. What happened to the Madam? "Madam?" They called quietly outside.

Tan ignored him and kept turning around like a headless fly.

"Madam!" the maid reminded loudly.

"I heard it! Why are you crying?" Tan was furious.

…

Everyone was waiting in the back hall, even the marquis, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had arrived.

The Marquis looked at his wife, who had put on a lot of red today, and shook his head and smiled: "You are in a good mood!"

When Tan came over with a smile, Marquis Qi asked about the smell of alcohol on her.

"What? You drank it first?"

"My Lord, I..." Before Tan could finish her words.

At the door, the Marquis's attendant replied, "Marquis, the Dali Temple's Zhang Jiangqing is here. He said he has something urgent to tell you."

Wen Yu was delighted when she heard this, and whispered to Qi Wu, "Brother Jiang Qing does things properly. Look how well he chose the right time. We don't have to kneel down and perform the formal ceremony."

Qi Wu looked at her dimly, "Don't laugh like that!"

"What's wrong?" Wen Yu asked curiously.

Qi Wu came closer and said, "You smile so sweetly when you mention him, no!"

Wen Yu laughed even more.

The Marquis was a little surprised, "What is he doing here?"

"He said there was a case and he wanted to ask... the Third Master about it."

Qi Yue narrowed his eyes and immediately thought of the small courtyard... Could it be? The small courtyard has been empty for some time...

Tan's heart was in turmoil. If it weren't for the letter she just received, she wouldn't have taken it seriously. But now... She had a hunch that this matter was related to Wen Yu, and asked coldly: "Wen Yu, it seems that this Mr. Zhang is a good friend of the Wen family, right?"

Wen Yu nodded: "Grandma, the Zhang family is an old friend of the Wen family."

Tan looked straight at Wen Yu, but could not tell anything from her... "My Lord, please ask Lord Zhang to come in? I want to listen too!" She sat down in the main seat and said to herself, I want to see what you want.

Qi Hou nodded: "Please come in!"

Tan's heart beat a few times, and suddenly came to his senses: What are you afraid of? I didn't leave any handles in the past! Many years have passed, things have changed, and my son is not made of clay. Now, who can do anything to me? After thinking this through, he looked around and realized that everything I have today was obtained by killing people who stood in my way!

How could it be so easy to lose it? Not long after, Zhang Jiangqing came in with a subordinate, "Meet the Marquis, Madam Marquis. General Qi..."

The Marquis nodded: "Master Zhang, please take a seat."

After Zhang Jiangqing sat down, Qi Hou asked, "What's the matter, Master Zhang?"

"My Lord, I am currently working on a case. Some of the matters involve the Third Master Qi, so I came to ask you. However, I just heard that today is the Marquis's wife's birthday, so Jiang Qing was being rash. This... is not that urgent, I can ask later."

Qi Yue looked at Zhang Jiangqing quietly, without any panic.

Although he didn't know the reason, it would be foolish for Marquis Qi not to know that someone was targeting him. So he smiled and said, "Since Lord Zhang is here, don't be polite. If you have anything to ask, just ask!"

"Yes. Mr. Qi San, is the fifth courtyard in Huojia Hutong rented by you?"

"No." Qi Yue thought, it was indeed the case. He grinned, with black eyes, red lips and white teeth, and a bit of charm, "Why does Lord Zhang ask this?"

"A neighbor reported that there were often shouts and cries from a woman in that yard. The government sent people to knock on the door, but it seemed that no one lived there. After investigating the surrounding area, I heard that you rented it. An informant also said that he saw a young man coming in and out, so I drew it according to the informant's description..."

Zhang Jiangqing took out a piece of paper, and his subordinate took it and handed it to the Marquis. The person drawn on it was Qi Yue.

Qi Hou took it, looked at it, and handed it to Qi Yue without saying anything.

Qi Yue took it and glanced at it, "Why do I think he looks like the fifth brother?"

Qi Wu pretended not to hear anything. Wen Yu snuggled up to Madam Qi and also pretended not to hear anything.

Zhang Jiangqing continued, "We received several reports, so we broke into the yard yesterday and saw some bloody whips and knives in the room. At the scene... there was also a woman with scars all over her body, her clothes in disarray, and she was unconscious..."

Qi Yue heard this, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. How could this be possible? The person is already dead, and was taken away a few days ago... Are you trying to cheat me?

He laughed again: "That's easy. Lord Zhang, wake up the girl and ask her who hurt her, and that'll be it."

Zhang Jiangqing said: "But we found out that you rented that yard."

Everyone at the scene looked at each other, the atmosphere was tense...
