Li Qiqi staggered from the blow, her cheek burning with pain, her head buzzing, and her vision blurring.
She was panting heavily, her body swayed, the blush on her face was still there, but her breathing had gradually become steady.
Jin Jinzhi, who was originally heading to the military camp, has now returned. Hearing that there were assassins near the bedroom, he anxiously worried that something had happened to Yun Duoduo.
When he came over and saw what had happened, he quickly pulled Yun Duoduo behind him to prevent her from seeing what was happening.
Jin Jinzhi waved her hand, signaling everyone to leave, and then asked the old woman beside her to bring two pieces of clothing, which she then covered Li Qiqi and the man with.
Li Sheng looked at Li Qiqi, who was lying on the ground, her consciousness fading and her eyes glazed over, and sighed. It took him a long time to calm down.
He saw Jin Jinzhi standing outside the door, and knelt heavily on the ground with a face full of guilt: "Your Highness, it is my fault for not disciplining my daughter properly."
"This incident just happened at the Prince's residence."
After saying that, Li Sheng felt dizzy and a metallic taste rose in his throat. He forced himself to swallow the mouthful of blood.
Yun Duoduo felt sorry for Li Sheng, but she didn't regret doing so.
If she had softened her heart, she would be the one being humiliated now. Since someone wanted to harm her, she naturally couldn't let that person get away with it.
"Thank you for taking me in, Your Highness. Tonight, I will leave the capital with this unfilial daughter."
After Li Sheng finished speaking, he wrapped his daughter in his clothes and left Jin Jinzhi's bedroom with her.
The man was naturally dragged out by the guards.
"No one can stay here tonight. Have it thoroughly cleaned and everything replaced with new stuff," Jin Jinzhi said coldly to the butler beside her.
The butler nodded and quickly instructed a few people to tidy up the bedroom.
Yun Duoduo's eyes had already been covered by Jin Jinzhi, and only now did Jin Jinzhi remove her hands from her eyes.
"You weren't scared, were you?"
Jin Jinzhi looked at her with concern. Although she was clever and extremely intelligent, this bedroom was originally hers to live in. He was worried about whether she could handle what had happened.
It's all my fault; Duoduo shouldn't have seen these things.
She's still so young; this scene must have been a huge shock to her.
Yun Duoduo shook her head: "Brother Jinzhi, I'm fine. I didn't even see what happened inside before you came over."
To put his mind at ease, Yun Duoduo had no choice but to lie through her teeth.
[These are nothing, I've seen it all!]
As they talked, Jin Jinzhi helped her to the study.
"Does the injury on your foot still hurt?" Jin Jinzhi helped her sit down on the soft couch.
Yun Duoduo shook her head: "After using your medicine, it doesn't hurt much anymore."
Moreover, she was so busy watching the commotion that she didn't even notice her own feet.
"You can sleep here tonight."
Jin Jinzhi spread out the bedding on the soft couch. "The side rooms will be ready by tomorrow. Please make do here for the night."
Yun Duoduo didn't feel wronged at all; she really liked the smell of books in the study.
To the right of the study was the soft couch where she sat, and opposite it was a table where Jin Jinzhi often sat. On both sides were bookshelves filled with books and scrolls.
After glancing around the room, Yun Duoduo suddenly noticed that Jin Jinzhi's gaze was fixed on her. His eyes were strange, half-smiling and half-unsmiling, and he looked somewhat unfamiliar in the dim candlelight.
Yun Duoduo looked at me somewhat awkwardly and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jin Jinzhi raised her head and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Yun Duoduo followed his gaze and looked at herself. What she saw made her gasp.
Whose butterfly is this?!
Her clothes were absolutely dazzling, displaying seven different colors in the candlelight, like a lucky cloud.
Large butterflies were embroidered on the cuffs and collar, their wings outstretched as if they might break free from the needle and thread at any moment.
Then, loosening the ribbon tied around her waist, she saw a two-finger-wide red ribbon adorned with large pearls and a blooming red peony…
This clothing is truly luxurious, festive, and auspicious.
"Cao Canjun's taste is really good..." Jin Jinzhi's gaze fell on the big red peony on Yun Duoduo's waist.
"So this is the new clothes that Military Advisor Cao bought for me." Yun Duoduo chuckled and wanted to untie the belt to stop looking at the bright red peony, but then she realized that it was really inappropriate to do this in front of Jin Jinzhi, so she stopped.
"Brother Jinzhi, how did you describe it to him?"
Yun Duoduo pondered that, judging from Jin Jinzhi's usual style of dressing, even if Cao Canjun never bought women's clothes, he could still be influenced by his master, right?
This outfit is absolutely amazing!
“I said, you like bright colors…” Jin Jinzhi covered her mouth and laughed.
Yun Duoduo looked at her clothes again and nodded: "Hmm, Military Advisor Cao got a perfect score in reading comprehension, she is indeed gorgeous..."
The two chatted for a while longer. After checking on Yun Duoduo and confirming that she was alright, Jin Jinzhi went outside.
"Brother Jinzhi, where are you going?"
Yun Duoduo was puzzled. This was the study where he used to sleep. She had thought that the two of them would sleep in this study.
"I'll go to the roof."
"ah?"
"Go to the roof? It's very cold up there!"
Jin Jin waved to him, indicating that she was alright.
【Duoduo isn't married yet. If people find out we're sharing a room, it won't be good for her reputation.】
Yun Duoduo wanted to call out to him, but after hearing what Jin Jin was thinking, she only opened her mouth.
[It's bad for my reputation...]
If Brother Jinzhi were to propose marriage and solidify this relationship, things would be much simpler.
...
On the other hand, Li Sheng's old face was practically contorted with embarrassment.
He packed his things overnight, too ashamed to stay even a moment longer.
Late at night, he left the Prince of Jibei's mansion with his daughter and the man, leaving the capital and heading towards the northern frontier.
...
After seeing Li Qiqi off, Yun Duoduo was in a great mood.
If someone tries to harm her, she will show no mercy and will fight back in kind.
She has put this famous saying into practice very well.
"Oh, that's great! Although there was a little hiccup, it's finally resolved!"
Yun Duoduo lay happily on the soft couch, thinking that from now on, there would be no other women in the Jibei Prince's mansion, and she would be the only one by Jin Jinzhi's side every day. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep.
However, to her surprise, something troublesome happened early the next morning.
