Chapter 723 Demeanor
Because of Wan Qiqi's injury, Chen Yongnian would always make time to go home, no matter how busy he was.
The night before, Wan Qiqi confided in Chen Yongnian about the past, which caused her to forget many important things.
The next evening, when Chen Yongnian returned, Wan Qiqi spoke to him.
“Yongnian, I think there’s something wrong with Tu Yi. When I met him yesterday, I questioned him about whether he was there for revenge, but he didn’t admit it immediately.”
As Wan Qiqi was speaking, she noticed Chen Yongnian playing with his fingers and angrily said, "Are you even listening?"
"Listen!" Chen Yongnian kissed Wan Qiqi's hand, still thinking about what his wife had said last night.
He didn't know what he had done to deserve the affection of a woman from another world.
This also explains why the lady knows so many things that others don't.
Although I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked.
Even now, I'm still a bit stunned.
Seeing his lustful expression, Wan Qiqi pulled her hand away and said coldly, "Then tell me, what did I just say?"
Chen Yongnian's hand suddenly felt empty, his fingertips still warm from the other person's skin.
He frowned slightly and said, "You suspect that Tu Yi's visit to Yunhe County is not just for revenge, but for other purposes."
Wan Qiqi was somewhat surprised that Chen Yongnian actually listened to her!
"I've always thought so too, which is why Lord Su has already sent people back to Liangzhou to investigate from both sides simultaneously, to see if we can find any clues!"
As Chen Yongnian spoke, he stared at the back of Wan Qiqi's hand, "The injury on your hand, was it done by that person in the shadows?"
Wan Qiqi then realized that the hand Chen Yongnian had just been holding was the same hand that had been beaten yesterday.
Even more surprisingly, the spot where the other person kissed happened to be the location of the bruise.
She felt a mix of emotions, a bittersweet feeling.
“Tu Yi attacked you, I don’t know if it was random or if he targeted someone. You are in a very dangerous situation right now, don’t run around, understand?” Chen Yongnian warned.
“I know!” Wan Qiqi said, looking towards the bedroom. “I can protect myself, but I’m mainly worried about Pingping and An’an.”
"I'll go ask my master if we can find someone skilled in martial arts to help protect Pingping and An'an!"
Chen Yongnian also felt this was a headache.
"I doubt anyone from the martial arts school can beat Tu Yi. Yesterday, I used something to paralyze his limbs for a while, and he still managed to escape the government's pursuit. Ordinary people are no match for him!"
Although some things were said openly, Wan Qiqi was still embarrassed to say the names of some things.
"If only we had dedicated bodyguards!" Chen Yongnian sighed. "In the entire Yunhe County, I'm afraid only the Xiao family can afford them, but they won't lend them out."
When this was brought up, Wan Qiqi raised her doubts, "Have you noticed that no matter how big the commotion is in Yunhe County, the Xiao family doesn't do anything about it? It was the same with Uncle Fang's matter last time!"
Chen Yongnian nodded, "They may know a lot, but they seem to be wary of something."
"If that's the case, it means the person behind it is very powerful, and even Old Master Xiao doesn't want to get involved." Wan Qiqi felt that the road ahead might be very difficult.
“Perhaps, Old Master Xiao’s retreat to Yunhe County was simply a way to withdraw from the conflicts and live out his remaining years in peace,” Chen Yongnian said.
Wan Qiqi believes that Chen Yongnian's words are not without reason.
The more this is the case, the more it shows that things in the imperial court are complex and not as calm as they appear on the surface.
"Husband, do you think we should also recruit a group of people with martial arts skills and train them to be secret guards? They can help us gather intelligence and protect the safety of those around us."
Wan Qiqi asked, propping her head up with her hand.
"Hmm, that makes sense!" Chen Yongnian nodded and asked, "Who will train them?"
Wan Qiqi: "..."
"Okay! I was just being delusional. Who told them to portray it like that on TV?" she thought to herself.
"Let's see about the secret guards. We can also find a way to train a group of our own henchmen!" Chen Yongnian said, considering who to ask for help.
The two were deep in thought and neither noticed that there was another person in the courtyard behind them.
This person arrived silently and did nothing.
A moment later, Chen Yongnian suddenly noticed a very light breathing sound in the courtyard.
He turned his head sharply and found that there was an extra person in the yard. He immediately shielded Wan Qiqi behind him.
"Who are you? And why have you intruded into my courtyard?" Chen Yongnian asked in a deep voice.
The man walked over, looked at Chen Yongnian, and then at Wan Qiqi.
Suddenly, he knelt down on one knee. "Greetings, Miss Wan!"
"Miss Wan?" Wan Qiqi thought to herself.
Everyone knows she is married and has children, so why would anyone call her "Miss"?
Wan Qiqi frowned slightly, examining the kneeling person in the dim light.
Perhaps because Wan Qiqi hadn't spoken for a while, the person kneeling on the ground spoke again:
"I am Fengzhi, a secret guard of the Bai family. I have been entrusted by Miss Wan to come to Yunhe County to protect her safety."
Wan Qiqi's eyes flashed with surprise, then she realized, "You're Feng Zhi? The Feng Zhi who took me back to Yunhe County last year?"
"Yes!" Feng Zhi replied.
Chen Yongnian immediately understood and stepped forward to straighten Feng Zhi, saying, "I'm sorry, I was rude!"
"It's nothing!" Feng Zhi replied, taking out a small bamboo tube and handing it to Wan Qiqi, "A letter from Miss."
Wan Qiqi opened it and couldn't hide her astonishment.
She hadn't expected that Bai Lingxuan was so well-informed that she knew about the situation in Yunhe County.
He also sent his personal bodyguards to protect his safety.
Wan Qiqi doesn't know if Bai Lingxuan and Wan Ziyan will end up together.
But she knew that Bai Lingxuan was genuinely good to her.
"Feng Zhi, thank you so much for your help these past few days!" Wan Qiqi said, bowing slightly.
