"Girl, the place ahead is Miss Han Wu's residence. Let's go and have a rest there."
Bai Chen nodded and decided to take a rest. He felt really bad now. He felt short of breath and out of breath after walking a little.
Much worse than Yu Wancai in the previous mission.
In the previous mission, Yu Wancai’s poor health was acquired, but now Lin Xuezhi’s weak constitution was brought from the womb.
Normally, there is no way to cure this kind of physical condition and it can only be treated by nursing. Therefore, although the Han family is a family of noble birth, they can do nothing about it.
Miss Han Wu's residence is a spacious courtyard. When she arrives at the gate, she sees three large characters written in a flamboyant style: "Qing Yi Ju".
From Lin Xuezhi's memory, she learned that the fifth daughter of the Han family was Han Yanqiu's cousin. She was a legitimate daughter and had some talent, but she was not as fond of showing off as Han Yanqiu and was relatively low-key.
She was not a bad person. After Lin Xuezhi married into the Han family, she did not give her a cold shoulder like other members of the Han family did. But she also did not seem to help them in any way. She simply ignored them.
In ancient times, a woman's social status never depended on herself.
When you are at home, you rely on your father; after you get married, you rely on your husband. Even if a girl is as pretty as a fairy, if she marries a useless trash, she will still be despised.
What's more, Lin Xuezhi is just an ordinary girl in poor health, so being ignored is the least of her problems.
Therefore, Lin Xuezhi did not resent those who had spurned and ignored her. She only hated Han Yanqiu, the vicious woman who had brought her to irreparable ruin.
At this time, the gate of the courtyard was wide open, and the whole courtyard was very elegant. There was a tall sycamore tree in the courtyard, and there were chairs placed around the tree trunk. It was a good place to enjoy the cool air.
As soon as Bai Chen and Chun Yue arrived at the door, a maid came out to greet them: "Miss Lin, you are here. The fifth lady has gone to the main courtyard."
Chunyue held the maid's hand, as if they were old acquaintances, "My girl is a little tired and wants to rest."
"Miss Lin is tired! Let's go to the side room and take a rest first!"
Then, the maid took Bai Chen into an elegant room.
Bai Chen was so tired that his feet felt like they were filled with lead. He fell on the couch and said softly:
"Thank you. I want to lie down for a while. Tell Chunyue not to come in. I just need to rest for a while."
The maid nodded and closed the door very carefully when she left.
After the maid left, Bai Chen sat up and scanned his body with his mental power.
Only then did I realize that the tendons in this body were much more blocked than in the previous mission. If I relied solely on conditioning, it might take a year to recover.
Fortunately, I have the awesome skills given by Touyouci, I hope it will be effective.
In the following time, she sat cross-legged and practiced this exercise. During the practice, she was indeed not restricted by the blocked meridians.
After running for a few cycles, she felt much more comfortable and stood up and walked towards the door.
It seems to be very noisy outside at the moment, and many girls have gathered here.
When Bai Chen walked out of the wing room, he saw a group of girls in the yard, all of whom were talking about Miss Xiao's falling into the water.
Miss Xiao is Han Yanqiu's follower and the concubine's daughter of the Right Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.
I just don’t know if Miss Xiao will marry Han Ming after this incident
She is just a concubine's daughter of the Xiao family. I'm sure her family would like to pack her up quickly and send her to the Han family!
The Xiao family was able to marry into the Han family, which was considered marrying up, and after she married into the family, she would be the legal wife.
So, perhaps in the eyes of the Xiao family, this is a good marriage.
When they saw Bai Chen coming out, all the girls shut up and stared at her with strange eyes.
Everyone knew that this incident was arranged for her, but it was Miss Xiao who was the unlucky one.
And among this group of girls, there was actually the host Han Yanqiu.
How come she is free
When she saw Bai Chen, she, who had a sad look on her face, walked up to Bai Chen without saying a word, and her expression turned into an apologetic one.
She even grabbed Bai Chen's hand affectionately again. Several maids followed her and surrounded her.
"Miss Lin, are you scared?"
Bai Chen held her hand in his, "Where's Miss Xiao? How's she?"
"She's fine, she's just scared."
"Oh! That's good!" Bai Chen smiled, which was even more fake than hers.
Han Yanqiu felt a little uncomfortable, and his face was sullen. "Miss Lin must be frightened. Your two sisters are still flying kites. Do you want to go find them?"
I'll let my maids go with you!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Chen was filled with doubts.
It must be very difficult for the women in such a large and deep mansion to gather together. If the murder failed this time, who knows when the next time will be.
So, it seemed that Han Yanqiu was a little anxious.
If Lin Xuezhi used the excuse of getting married and never went out again, she would never have the chance to harm her again.
Seeing that the wedding date is approaching, she must be very anxious.
Or maybe Yi Chongxuan was anxious.
If he really intended this incident, then he is a complete scumbag. Even if I let Lin Xuezhi marry him, I will not let him live comfortably.
They knew very well that if a woman lost her reputation, it would ruin her life.
But they still did it without any hesitation, just to make the other party take the initiative to cancel the engagement.
In this way, he, the Champion Marquis, will not lose his credibility.
If he took the initiative to cancel the engagement, it would more or less affect his reputation. With his perfect image, how could he allow such a small flaw as breaking off the engagement without reason
Besides, the Han family and the Lin family have cooperation in many aspects. Even if the Lin family cancels the engagement themselves, the cooperative relationship between the two families will not change.
But if the Yi family cancels the engagement without reason, it would make them enemies.
Bai Chen watched Han Yanqiu with a smile, as if he had seen through everything.
"Miss Han, do you think that dropping a girl into the water is not enough?"
Upon hearing this, Han Yanqiu's heart skipped a beat. She did have a backup plan, but forcibly pulling her now would definitely draw other people's attention.
So, even she, who was always calm and composed, was a little bit lost.
It should be said that she was already at a loss when she saw that the person who fell was not Lin Xuezhi, because at this moment Miss Xiao was still crying in the main courtyard!
Han Yanqiu's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, with a weird smile on his face, "What are you talking about? Your second and fourth sisters are looking for you everywhere!
They couldn't find you and were crying in anxiety! I searched for you for a long time in order to report to them!"
Bai Chen still stared at her with a half-smile, "Miss Han, your second brother said that the person who fell was not the right one. What does that mean? Who should have fallen at that time?"
Bai Chen's voice was quite loud and all the girls in the yard heard it. The girls who originally respected Chao Yanqiu very much now had less and less respect in their eyes.
"Did he say that? Why don't I remember it?" Han Yanqiu actually lied with his eyes open in front of so many noble ladies from the capital.
"I think I heard it too." One of the girls actually refuted Han Yanqiu's words, "It seems that the second young master Han said so.
