Chapter 408: A Guest Comes at Night


Shen Yinqiu looked down for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "I accidentally got hurt."

"How bad is the injury?

You need to use your left hand to serve tea."

Liu Shitan asked with a frown.

After returning to the courtyard, Shen Yinqiu took off his cloak and revealed his splinted hands, "It's a slight bone fracture.

I did it myself.

It will heal soon."

When Liu Shitan heard that it was a bone fracture, she said, "You accidentally caused a bone fracture yourself."

Her tone was full of doubt.

Shen Yinqiu couldn't think of any reason to dispel her suspicion, so she could only look at Liu Shitan calmly and nod, "I did it myself."

Liu Shitan frowned slightly, as if she was dissatisfied with Shen Yinqiu's concealment, but in the end she didn't say anything.

She looked at it for a while and said: "Now that I'm here, mother, I'll take good care of myself.

Compared with last time, my face looks better."

All haggard."

Shen Yinqiu was stunned for a moment, "Really?"

She didn't even notice it.

If she had known about it, she would have put on some powder before going out.

The mother and daughter didn't dwell on the broken bone.

After sitting for a while, it was time for lunch.

There were still only three people at the table, mother, daughter and Wan Bai.

They ate and slept silently.

After finishing the meal, Wan Bai proposed to check Liu Shiqin's pulse.

He seemed to be very interested in this.

Liu Shitan smiled and glanced at Shen Yinqiu before nodding in agreement.

Moving to the next room, Wan Bai took out a pulse pillow and placed it under Liu Shitan's hand to check her pulse.

After a while, he took his hand back.

Shen Yinqiu asked: "How are you okay?"

Wan Bai nodded, "Well, it's not a big problem.

Don't worry, Madam."

Liu Shitan touched her wrist, and a hint of darkness flashed across her lowered eyelids, "I told you it's okay.

This girl is worried and has to trouble Doctor Bai to come over.

Don't worry now."

Shen Yinqiu hummed, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor.

Mom, don't you have the habit of taking a nap?

Go and have a rest.

I'll take him back to Yaxuanju."

Unexpectedly, Liu Shitan did not stop him, but yawned, as if he was really sleepy.

"Well, you should also rest more."

Shen Yinqiu nodded, watched her leave, and winked at Wan Bai.

The two left here one after another and walked on the path in the backyard.

She looked around and saw that there was no servant around, so she asked Wan Bai: " Lao Bai, is my mother really okay?"

Wan Bai nodded: "There are no symptoms of weakness after poisoning.

A little weak is nothing serious.

You should worry about yourself first before her."

Only then did Shen Yinqiu remember it, and she grinned, "Of course I remember how you mixed the soup with the porridge.

I will tell Qingye when she comes back."

"That's really for your health.

No matter how hard it is to drink, you have to drink it."

Wan Bai said with an averted face.

"Don't be embarrassed to admit it if you have the ability to do it.

You can go back to Yaxuanju by yourself.

I'll go back and rest first."

Shen Yinqiu crossed the river and demolished the bridge, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute," Wan Bai stopped her, "I have some questions and want to confirm with you."

Well, Shen Yinqiu turned around and saw that his eyes were tangled, he stopped and said, "What is that?"

Wan Bai gestured for her to continue walking him for a while.

The two were side by side, not very close.

Wan Bai thought about it and asked, "Your mother."

"My mother" Shen Yinqiu was convinced by his mother-in-law's questioning, "Can you wear it more easily?"

"Forget it, it's nothing."

Wan Bai waved his hands and said, making Shen Yinqiu's teeth itch in anger.

Wan San couldn't hold it back and hissed: "Old Bai, don't tease people like this, it's so disgusting and off-putting."

Wan Tong also accused him with his eyes.

"It's not that I don't say it, it's that I can't describe the feeling.

To put it simply, I always feel that she is not as simple as a boudoir lady."

Wan Bai said with a stern face.

"Of course not.

My mother runs her own shop, so her temperament will be different.

It's weird if you don't see her."

Shen Yinqiu suppressed the strangeness in her heart and pretended to be natural.

However, Wan Bai shook his head and did not tell the reason.

As a result, Shen Yinqiu accompanied him all the way and sent him to the yard.

Until nightfall, Wan Qiyan didn't come to see Shen Yinqiu, which made her feel a little strange.

But Wan Tong was the only one around her, and even if Wan Tong were to kill her, she would not let her stay here alone, and then go find out the news.

This was probably the first time in a long time that she didn't have Wan Qiyan by her side, and she was still in an unfamiliar courtyard.

She couldn't sleep and listened carefully to what was going on outside.

Suddenly she felt a noise on the roof tiles, and she jumped out of bed.

She could all detect it, not to mention Wan Tong who was always alert.

Wan Tong noticed that he was just passing by.

When he heard Shen Yinqiu's movements, he immediately ran to the bed and said, "Young Madam."

"Did someone pass by our roof just now?"

Shen Yinqiu asked.

Wan Tong nodded, feeling a little surprised.

When did the young lady become so alert that she could even notice the slightest noise on the roof?

She nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, he probably didn't come for us."

"But I always feel that he just came to this mansion.

Let's go and see my mother's yard."

Shen Yinqiu asked.

After all, it was difficult for her to go by herself in her current state.

Wan Tong didn't think much about it.

It was late at night, the temperature was low, and the young lady's hands were inconvenient.

"Young Madam, there are people guarding Madam's side.

Nothing will happen."

"Then I can't sleep.

Let's go out for a walk.

I always feel that things won't be that simple."

Wan Tong looked at her faintly, and finally gave in.

Wearing a black cloak, Shen Yinqiu can completely blend into the darkness.

The mansion is even quieter at night because there are not many servants during the day.

As they walked, they reached an unknown place.

Shen Yinqiu stopped and whispered, "We seem to have gone to the wrong place."

Wan Tong: "Young madam, I'm just waiting for you to find out."

"Go back."

Shen Yinqiu came out but to no avail.

Wan Tong supported her and was about to turn around and leave when he felt someone approaching.

As Wan Qiyan's former personal maid, her martial arts skills could not be said to be top-notch, but her vigilance was no worse than Qingye's.

She stopped Shen Yinqiu, turned around and got into the messy grass nearby.

She carefully led Shen Yinqiu to squat down, avoiding her injured hand.

Just in case, she reached out and covered Shen Yinqiu's mouth.

This series of actions happened so quickly that Shen Yinqiu couldn't react in time.

If Wan Tong hadn't covered her mouth immediately, she might actually have made a sound.

Wan Tong held her in his arms, acting as a protector.

In the middle of the night without moonlight, it was so dark that she could not see her fingers.

Shen Yinqiu and Wan Tong did not bring a lantern for lighting because they did not want to attract attention.

It greatly satisfied Shen Yinqiu's adventurous spirit.

At this time, the two of them were hiding quietly in the grass, their breathing getting lighter and lighter, and they wished they could stop their beating hearts.

"Is there still no progress on your side?

I heard that your daughter is back."

The strange woman's voice was brought to Shen Yinqiu's ears by the night wind, and she was sure that she was walking with the stranger.

Who is the person.

She was a little nervous, but she didn't even dare to swallow a sip of water.

"There is no progress, and we can't find out their purpose.

My daughter doesn't know anything, so you don't have to worry about it."

Liu Shitan's voice was still lazy, and he was obviously very familiar with the person coming.

"Okay, if you say she doesn't know, I'll believe that she doesn't know.

Look, you're angry before I say anything."

The visitor was a little accommodating to Liu Shitan.

Shen Yinqiu just watched them pass by their hiding place together.

After a while, Wan Tong helped her get up from the grass and said, "Mrs., are your hands okay?"

Shen Yinqiu shook his head, "Who is that person?

Can you help me find out?"

"Ma'am, let's go back to the courtyard first."

Returning to the yard quietly, Wan Tong opened the door and noticed something was wrong.

Just as he was about to make a defensive stance, he heard a fire whistle blowing in the darkness, "It's me."

When Shen Yinqiu and Wan Tong saw their faces illuminated by the fire, they couldn't help but take a step back.

After a while, Wan Tong was able to smile and said, "It's you, Master."

Although you are indeed outstanding in appearance, have you ever thought that it would still be scary to shine a firelight on your expressionless face in the middle of the night when the surroundings are pitch dark?

"What's wrong?"

He took a step forward, and Wan Tong immediately put Shen Yinqiu in front and said, "Young lady, let's talk to the master."

Shen Yinqiu went from being frightened to thinking there was a ghost, to oh, he is finally here, and before she could recover, she was pushed in front of Wan Qiyan by Wan Tong.

After a moment, he said, "Are you okay?

Are you busy with the palace affairs now?

How is Princess Le'an?"

Wan Qiyan led her to the bed and said, "I'm fine.

She does seem to have some problems, but it's you, where can you go if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

Mentioning this, Shen Yinqiu stood up and said, "I'm confused."

"Yeah."

This was the first time Wan Qiyan saw her having such a headache.

Shen Yinqiu organized the conversation and said, "You know, my mother and a person of unknown origin are meeting at this time, and it seems that their content is not simple."

Wan Qi hummed, as if he wasn't surprised at all.

"Aren't you surprised at all?"

Shen Yinqiu looked at him in shock.

"Remember what I told you about the devil in the underworld?"

Shen Yinqiu felt the warm palm against her face.

She was stunned for a while and then said, "You mean, the person meeting my mother tonight is the female devil."

"Exactly."

Wan Qiyan nodded.

Shen Yinqiu felt that the world was a bit illusory, "How do you know so clearly?

Aren't you dealing with the affairs of the palace?"

"I just entered the palace to inquire about Princess Le'an, and then was entrusted by the prince to find the assassin.

And since that person hired my organization, naturally I will know her movements clearly."

Shen Yinqiu suddenly felt sorry for the female devil.

She said a little anxiously: "Then you know, do you know what she and my mother are planning?"

"I don't know, I can only grasp the whereabouts of that woman."

Wan Qiyan shook his head, but he knew that the background of the female devil was unclear and related to certain sects in the world.

They are not good sects.

The reason for finding Liu Shitan is naturally that they have the same purpose.

The question arises, what does Liu Shitan want to do:
