It turned out that Liu San had always admired Wen Jin, but he knew that he was not worthy of Wen Jin in terms of family background, literary talent or appearance.
It was fine before Wen Jin was not engaged, as she still had some hope. But this time, when she heard that Wen Jin was actually engaged to the eldest son of Prime Minister Xu, she felt unwilling and started to have some bad thoughts.
He also heard that Wen Jin would come to Lingwu Temple with her family to burn incense on the fifth day of the New Year. Thinking that this was a rare opportunity, he found a few friends and planned to kidnap Miss Wen.
Unexpectedly, Hu Mengyao and Lin Sayu were both there. There were originally six people on their side, so even if these three were together, there would be no problem.
What they didn't expect was that Wen Jin and the others met Xia Tian and Shen Ning again on the way.
Originally, Liu San planned to wait until the people separated before taking action, but it turned out that several people were traveling together. In the end, he had no choice but to rob them together. If he couldn't rob them, he would just kill them.
Because they rarely go out in the summer, Liu San and the others didn't know them. They thought they were all girls, just young ladies from someone's family, so one more or one less wouldn't pose any threat.
He even dared to touch the eldest daughter of the Wen Yibo family, so why would he be afraid of others?
He had originally planned on capturing Wen Jin first, and the other five would work together to deal with Lin Sayu, who knew some kung fu, and he would leave the others to him.
The plan turned out to be pretty good, but we didn't expect the summer variable to happen, which knocked them all down with one blow.
After listening to this, Shen Nian and Wen Lan looked at each other, and both saw in each other's eyes the meaning of "these people cannot be kept".
Chen Nian looked up at Mu Feng who was standing behind the man, and Mu Feng knocked the man unconscious with a knife.
Chen Nian and Wen Lan went aside to discuss it. It was impossible to hand these people over to the Dali Temple. If they made random accusations at that time, the reputation of the girls would definitely be affected. They could only deal with it privately.
After discussing it, the two of them came over.
Call several girls together, including their maids.
Wen Lan began to instruct, "Just pretend that what happened today never happened. We'll go talk to your father. If he asks, tell him the truth. Don't reveal a single word to anyone else."
"Okay." Several people nodded seriously. They were not three-year-old children anymore and they must have known the seriousness of the matter.
Besides, they are all girls who are not married yet. Don’t they know how important reputation is?
If today's incident were to get out, even if they were not harmed by Liu San and his men, their reputation would definitely be damaged, so they all nodded obediently.
Shen Nian saw a few people nod, then he said, "Leave these people to me and Wen Lan. You guys should tidy up your appearance first, and we will take you there later."
He frowned and glanced at the clothes on the men. "Let's go out and wait somewhere else. I'll have the maid get you a new cloak."
After Shen Nian finished speaking, he gestured to Mu Feng, "Take Ningxiang and the others with you and go get the Madam and the Second Miss's cloaks first."
Wenlan also sent a guard to take the maids of Wenjin and the other two to get the clothes.
The remaining guards, including Muchen, tied up Liu San and the others tightly again, while Chen Nian and Wen Lan took a few girls to another place.
After Mu Chen saw that they had gone far away, he called on others to carry the people to a hidden place and clean up all the traces here.
Xia Tian and the others walked to the other side of Merlin for a while, and only stopped when they saw that there was no one around.
After waiting for a while, Ningxiang and the others came back. They put on their cloaks and followed Chen Nian and Wen Lan out of Meilin.
After leaving the back mountain of Lingwu Temple, the few of them separated and walked towards their respective courtyards.
The old lady and her friends usually come to Lingwu Temple and rest for a while after lunch before returning.
It was not yet noon. When Xia Tian returned to the yard, the old lady and the second lady had not returned yet. They must have gone to find the host to give a lecture.
Chen Lan and the other little sisters didn't come back either. They must have gone to play somewhere else.
After all, it’s not easy to go out in winter, so you have to play for a while longer.
Xia Tian and Shen Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and their maids combed their hair again.
He also asked Ningxiang and the others to clean up quickly.
Fortunately, they all brought a change of clothes when they went out.
There was no one else around at the moment, so Xia Tian gave them his instructions again.
Especially Shen Ning and Shen Ning's maid, they told the two that this matter must be kept secret and no one should tell it, neither the aunt nor the future husband should reveal a single word.
Chen Ning only brought a maid, Yun'er, today, and the little girl was also quite frightened today.
The two listened to Xia Tian's instructions, nodded repeatedly, and made up their minds not to tell anyone.
The reason why Xia Tian asked them to keep their mouths shut was because he was worried that Chen Ning was about to get married and didn't want this incident to cause any changes in her marriage.
After Shen Nian and Wen Lan sent a few people back, they went to find Mu Chen and the others. No one knew what happened to Liu San in the end.
Over there, Wen Jin and the other two were with their families, and they looked normal, not revealing a single detail.
Xia Tian and the others stayed in the house for a while before the old lady and the others came back. After a while, the others also came back. They all had a vegetarian meal together in the house and rested for half an hour before getting up and preparing to go down the mountain.
The younger children were chattering about where they had been and what they had seen. They were all quite excited and refused to ride the sedan chair down the mountain, insisting on walking on their own.
Chen Ning got on the sedan chair just like Shen Lan and the others, and Yun'er followed beside them. No one noticed anything unusual about them.
Xia Tian didn't sit down, but followed Shen Nian slowly behind everyone, without saying a word, and walked down the mountain quietly.
