There's no way they'll let him into the house. An assassin like that should be taken for granted; he should be carried to the foot of a big tree!
The wound wasn't very deep, and it didn't hit any vital organs. The reason it hurt so much was probably because the sword tip had pierced the bone.
Ruan Banxia was not sleepy to begin with, and after this incident, she was even less sleepy now.
Cheng Qingyan, Ye Lingyu, and Hongyu worked together to clean up all the tung oil and firewood.
After a busy night, as dawn broke, Meng Chuying brought Jiang Jiang and Wangcai over. Only when she saw the strangers in the yard and the bloodstains that hadn't been cleaned up did she belatedly realize that another assassin had come to her house.
Jiang Jiang ran to Cheng Qingyan's side and asked softly, "Father, what strange mission have you received this time?"
Cheng Qingyan gave a bitter smile: "No, these people were probably sent by your cheap aunt to kill me."
Jiang Jiang was puzzled. Ye Lingxi had been gone for a long time without any news. Why would she suddenly have the idea to send someone to assassinate her now?
Cheng Qingyan did not tell anyone that she had told Liu Baisheng not to sell the watermelons to the Ye family. Perhaps Ye Lingxi and Ye Zongzhi already knew that she had grown these watermelons.
They also discovered that she was targeting them from behind, which is why they sent people again this time.
The only person who mentioned "that woman" or "that lady" in the previous conversations was Ye Lingxi.
After all, they hadn't offended any other women.
Jiang Jiang glanced furtively at Ye Lingyu and whispered to Cheng Qingyan, "Father, Jiang Jiang doesn't like that aunt. She's a bad person. Jiang Jiang doesn't want her to be her aunt."
"Don't tell your mother, Jiangjiang is afraid she'll be sad."
Cheng Qingyan reached out and pinched Jiang Jiang's cheek. This little guy is thinking quite a lot at a time like this.
"Don't worry, your mother won't get angry because of who you like or dislike!"
Jiang Jiang was initially worried, but after hearing Cheng Qingyan's words, a smile appeared on her face.
Children can't hide their feelings on their faces; in just a short while, their joys and sorrows are completely exposed.
Today, Tian Chengqingyan can't go, so Mu Zhiyue can only keep an eye on things in the fields.
Ruan Banxia hadn't slept all night and was yawning constantly. She took out a pair of silver needles from the room.
We haven't figured out how to deal with these assassins yet. Perhaps we could let Meng Chuying use them to practice acupuncture.
She called out to Meng Chuying, who was standing next to Ye Lingyu, "Chuying, come here. It's rare to have so many free targets. Come and practice your needlework."
Meng Chuying hesitated. She definitely wanted to practice acupuncture, but she was worried that she might hurt someone.
Ye Lingyu patted her and encouraged her: "Go, don't treat them like living people, don't feel guilty."
"Besides, they voluntarily let you practice acupuncture techniques. If you don't believe me, go ask them."
He smiled gently at Meng Chuying as he said this.
He looked up again at the leader of the men in black, his eyes filled with threat.
"We're at their mercy," the leader of the men in black forced a smile and said to Meng Chuying, "Don't worry, young lady, we all volunteered to be stabbed."
Ye Lingyu turned and left. Ha, so what if she didn't want to?
Seeing Ye Lingyu turn and leave, the men in black breathed a sigh of relief.
Why?! The woman's eyes made them feel danger.
What kind of job did they take? Wasn't it said that only one of them knew some kung fu?
A woman's mouth is a deceitful devil!
Ruan Banxia fed each of the people who were not seriously injured a pill.
She didn't say what kind of pills they were, but after taking them, the people lost their ability to resist.
Perhaps because those people needed to take off their clothes, Cheng Qingyan had Meng Jia and Meng An cut down bamboo and used it to fence off the area under the tree.
Not only because Jiang Jiang was there, but she also didn't want her wife to see anything dirty.
Ruan Banxia and Meng Chuying were administering acupuncture inside the walled area, while outside, howls could be heard from time to time.
After cutting down the bamboo, Meng An and Meng Jia did not leave, but stayed in the courtyard.
I trembled as I listened to the screams that came from time to time.
You really shouldn't mess with a doctor, no matter who you are!
Jiangjiang peered out the window, curious about where they were sticking their needles inside and why they wouldn't let her see!
"Father, I want to go find Sister Chuying~"
Cheng Qingyan refused without even thinking: "No, you don't want to."
"I'm thinking, why can't I go play?!"
"Since your sister Chu Ying is studying, don't bother her. If you're bored, go help me with the farming."
Jiang Jiang ran to Ye Lingyu and said in a spoiled tone, "Mommy, look at Daddy, she's trying to torture me again~"
Cheng Qingyan poked Jiang Jiang's head and scolded, "You little ingrate!"
Jiang Jiang laughed and dodged, finally hiding her head in Ye Lingyu's arms.
"My lady, what should we do with these people afterward?"
Ye Lingyu's gaze passed through the window and landed on the cloth covering the courtyard: "Wait until Banxia and Chuying have used up all the people. If they are still alive, then we'll talk about it."
She felt sorry for those people for a fraction of a second. Thankfully, she had no grudge against Ruan Banxia. Just thinking about it made her feel a pang of heartache.
Then I heard Ye Lingyu say, "I was thinking that if he could discipline Ye Lingxi properly after he went back, I wouldn't have to go too far."
With a self-deprecating laugh, Ye Lingyu looked at Cheng Qingyan and said, "When Uncle Mu returns tonight, let him take a few people to Yuanning County."
"Since Ye Zongzhi doesn't know how to discipline people, we can't let them bully us."
She had thought that after Ye Zongzhi left last time, he could keep Ye Lingxi in check, and she wouldn't have to go to such extremes.
But now that some people are rushing to their deaths, how could she be a spoilsport?
However, she was unaware that Cheng Qingyan's murder might be due to her brazenly targeting the Ye family in Yuanning County.
This caused Ye Lingxi to embarrass herself in public while buying watermelons.
Cheng Qingyan touched the tip of his nose and said guiltily to Ye Lingyu, "Wife... well, a few days ago I had the people who deliver watermelons send a letter to Liu Baisheng."
Then, she lowered her head: "I told him that even if the watermelons rotted in the store, he was not allowed to sell them to the Ye family."
She cautiously raised her eyes to look at Ye Lingyu: "Could it be because Liu Baisheng and the others listened to me and offended the Ye family, so..."
She didn't need to say what she wanted to say; Ye Lingyu already knew.
Cheng Qingyan did this behind Ye Lingyu's back, and originally didn't want to tell her. But an unexpected incident happened last night, so Cheng Qingyan told Ye Lingyu about it.
Ye Lingyu asked her with a smile, "What, isn't the Ye family's money real gold and silver? You're turning down business opportunities that are practically handed to you?"
Cheng Qingyan said defiantly, "No! Don't bother them!"
Jiang Jiang chimed in, "Yeah, Jiang Jiang is annoyed by them too~ They're nice, but the people are awful!"
"You guys~"
While fanning Ye Lingyu, Cheng Qingyan asked, "Wife, are you angry?"
