The secret guards stared at Wen Yao and Su Qiuyue, as well as several restless masters of the Wen family, Aunt Wen and others. They did not come to protect Wen Yao in time. They were also very scared. It was the secret guards' failure to protect the master.
Wen Yao didn't blame them. It was because she was careless. When she heard something happened to Gao Chuwei, she was a little panicked and brought people to find her personally.
Just as the secret guards were about to tie up the people and take them away, suddenly a barrage of cold arrows were fired from the darkness. The secret guards immediately abandoned these people and protected Wen Yao and Yi Junyue.
The sudden change made Wen Yao a little panicked, and she pulled Yi Junyue to find a place to hide. Fortunately, the cold arrows were not aimed at them, but at the assassins. Seeing the assassins howling in agony, they were shot into hedgehogs and quickly died.
Angry.
The secret guard did not dare to pursue them, and protected Wen Yao and the others from leaving. As soon as they walked out of the alley, they met Yuan Rui and others who arrived in time.
"Yaoyao, are you okay?"
Yuan Rui pulled her up and down and checked her, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Who is so brave and dares to attack the palace? If you come, you must investigate thoroughly and don't let anyone go."
The secret guard knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I have been in a bad position to protect the master. Please punish me. The assassin was silenced. I am worried about your concubine and you dare not pursue me. Please give me a chance to atone for your sins."
"Being silenced?" Yuan Rui frowned. The person who could be silenced under the nose of his secret guard must not be an ordinary person.
His secret guards are also top-notch in the world. Except for the palace dragon guards, very few people can kill people under their noses.
"You are doing the right thing. Nothing is as important as the safety of the Crown Princess. The body must also be taken back for thorough investigation."
Wen Yao watched Yuan Rui deal with it calmly without interrupting, comforting the frightened Yi Junyue, her eyes full of coldness.
Yuan Zimo came with Yuan Rui and came forward to say hello: "Miss Wen, you are frightened, why don't I take you home first?"
Yuan Rui said: "Zimo, please send Miss Yi back home, and I will send you Yaoyao."
Yuan Zimo nodded: "Okay, Miss Yi, do you mind if I take you back?"
"I don't mind. Thank you very much for Prince Linhuai's kindness."
Yi Junyue rode a carriage and Yuan Zimo rode a horse. Before leaving, they took a deep look at Wen Yao and Yuan Rui. Although they kept their distance, they only saw each other in their eyes, which was a little sour. It was good for Wen Yao to have Yuan Rui to protect her.
destination.
Wen Yao went home and left Yuan Rui to handle the external affairs, while she also had to deal with the internal affairs of the Wen family.
The guests all left, and the young ladies of the Wen family also returned to their own courtyards. Wen Yao went directly to the second room. Wen Yuan was surprised and welcomed her in: "Sister, have you found County Master Gao?"
"The prince has gone to look for her. It should be fine. The girl got angry and ran away a little too far. Where is the fourth sister? Come find her."
The second aunt had been tired for a day and was already lying down. When she heard Wen Yao coming, she walked out with her clothes on: "Yao Yao, is something okay?"
Wen Yao: "Excuse me for bothering my second aunt. I have a little something to do about my fourth sister."
"What's up with her?"
Wen Qian had already been invited by the maid, she clenched the handkerchief tightly with her hands, her face was pale, what was supposed to come had finally come.
"Big sister, third sister, hello mother."
"Fourth sister, you should know why I'm here? Should you recruit it yourself or should I do it for you?"
The second aunt and Wen Yuan were both surprised and looked at her in confusion. Wen Qian had always been docile and honest, and didn't talk much. She was easily ignored by others. How could Wen Yao come to question her in person this time?
Wen Qian knelt down and started crying: "Sister, I was wrong. I was just blinded by lard for a moment. I will definitely change. Please forgive me this time."
Wen Yao took out a jade pendant. There was a long scratch on it, which was shocking. A fine jade pendant was ruined just like that.
"You did it?"
Why doesn't the second aunt understand what's going on? She's so angry that she wants to beat her, but she dares to destroy the eldest lady's engagement token. Who gave her the courage?
"I was confused for a moment, big sister, can I compensate you?"
Wen Yao's face was cold and solemn: "You are not confused for a moment, you have been planning for a long time. I actually don't understand your mentality. Although you are a concubine, your family has never treated you harshly. Your second aunt is also a generous person. Why do you do this?
Such a thing?"
"You were the one who tore my skirt last time, and I ignored it. This time you have gone even harder to hurt me. How dissatisfied are you with me?"
"Speak out and I'll hear what I did wrong. Everyone is so angry with me."
Wen Yao couldn't say she was angry, she was just disappointed and confused. Her brothers didn't like her, and a concubine in the next room was also dissatisfied with her. Wen Yao couldn't help but reflect on how bad she was.
?
The second aunt was furious: "Well, Wen Qian, as my aunt, I treat you very well. If you have any dissatisfaction, come to me. What do you mean by attacking Yaoyao?"
"If you don't speak clearly today, I will send you to a nunnery tomorrow. There is no place for a vicious-hearted person like you at home."
Wen Qian burst into tears and kept begging for mercy: "I know I was wrong, big sister, I had no choice but to do it. I have my own reasons. It was Miss Six who forced me to do it."
The second aunt and Wen Yuan were both dumbfounded, why was Wen Nuan involved again?
Wen Yao stared into her eyes carefully: "What leverage do you have to allow Wen Wen to force you? Wen Wen's tricks are useless in my hands. If you were smart, you should come to me to help you instead of listening to her.
if."
Wen Yao's eyes flashed slightly: "One reason is Nuan Nuan forcing you, and another reason is that you want to do it yourself, and then turn her out, so that you have no responsibility. Am I right?"
Wen Qian looked up in shock, how did the eldest sister know?
The look in Wen Yao's eyes confirmed her suspicion. Wen Qian's deep thoughts were better than her warm methods.
The second aunt was frightened when she heard this, and angrily slapped her face: "Tell me, what on earth have you done?"
Wen Qian fell to the ground and glared at her second aunt with hatred. The second aunt was frightened by the look. How much hatred and resentment could she feel for the concubine who used to be a docile concubine looking at her like this?
She didn't even know and still treated her like half a daughter. This was a disaster she was raising!
"What can I do? As a concubine, I just look at the faces of you and the third sister every day. Do I dare to have my own thoughts?"
"Ms. Lin, you've long disliked me and wanted to hit me for a long time, right? Since you don't like me, why bother pretending to be generous? You pretend you're not tired, but I'm tired just looking at you!"
When things fell apart, Wen Qian was so upset that she didn't even want to call her 'mother' anymore.
Wen Yao didn't say anything. This was the second room's housework.
Wen Yuan also looked at this concubine with a strange expression. She really didn't notice at all that she resented her mother so much!
It was really terrible. Wen Yuan didn't dare to think that if she wanted to harm herself, would she be able to hide away?
