Seeing how chaotic the scene was,
Jia Baobao didn't go in, he even took a few steps back.
She checked the purple mission on the System.
The purple mission flashed and became clear.
She read out the mission requirements word by word, "Find out the truth about the gold package, the mastermind behind it.
If the mission is completed, you will be rewarded with two Skill Cards. "
"Two Skill Cards.
Is it so generous? "
The System said seriously, "It's obvious.
This mission is not that simple. "
Jia Baobao felt that it was a pity.
"I should've checked it properly.
Or … I could've gone to the pond behind the ancestral hall and fished it out. "
The System said, "Tsk tsk.
What kind of sin did your ancestors commit to give birth to your descendants? "
At this moment, a scream came from the courtyard.
Jia Baobao and the System looked at each other.
They immediately rushed in.
In the courtyard.
The moonlight shone on the ground, making it look especially pale.
There were a few spots of blood, like red plum blossoms falling in the snow.
"Ah!" Jia Lian held the sword with both hands, his palms trembling.
He couldn't help but scream.
The cold blade was stained with mottled blood.
Wang Xifeng covered the wound on his arm.
He was expressionless.
His red phoenix eyes were poisonous and cold.
The victim didn't make a sound.
The murderer kept screaming.
"What are you screaming for?" Wang Xifeng stared at Jia Lian. "Go on.
Why didn't you kill me? "
"I … I didn't do it on purpose.
As long as you return the thing … "
"Thing? What thing? I don't know. "
Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Xie and Jia Zheng.
"However,
Since you've done such a thing to hurt your wife, don't expect me to cover for you in the future. "
Jia Xie's expression changed. She stared at Jia Lian. "What's going on? How did the thing go missing? "
Jia Zheng touched his beard and suddenly said, "Brother, don't tell me you don't know? After the incident at the ancestral hall, you were the first to check it out. "
Jia Lian suddenly looked at Jia Xie. "Dad, you …"
"Idiot, when I went in, there was already nothing in the ancestral hall. Everything had already been taken away!"
"But Baoyu said …"
"Baoyu?" Jia Xie was stunned.
"What does it have to do with Baoyu?" Wang Xifeng blurted out.
"Baoyu …" Jia Zheng seemed to be thinking about something.
The next moment, Jia Xie, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, and Wang Xifeng all looked at Jia Baobao, who was watching the show.
Jia Baobao: "…"
She scratched her forehead and asked in confusion, "What?"
Jia Zheng winked at Jia Baobao. "Baoyu, tell me, did you take anything from the ancestral hall?"
Jia Baobao shook his head. "I was scolded by Master as soon as I came out of the ancestral hall. Master, you know best whether I took anything or not."
Jia Zheng turned to Jia Xie and said, "Brother, you saw it when you came. She didn't have anything in her hands."
Jia Xie: "This …"
Jia Baobao blinked and pretended to be confused. "What is it? Jia Lian said that if we lost it, it would bring disaster to the family and our whole family would be punished. "
Jia Zheng gasped. "Something that could bring disaster to the whole family … Brother, are you still not willing to tell us?"
Jia Xie hesitated.
Wang Xifeng suddenly said, "It can make Master and Erye so nervous. Could it be related to the dethroned Crown Prince?"
The atmosphere in the courtyard became even more tense.
Jia Zheng was even more frightened. "Brother, are you really related to the dethroned Crown Prince's faction?"
Jia Xie hurriedly explained, "How could I be related to the Crown Prince's rebellion!"
The System: "Oh ho!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole courtyard became quiet. However, this silence was like hanging on a cliff in imminent danger.
Jia She let out a sigh of relief. He waved his sleeves and said, "Fine, you should know a little about this matter. In any case, we are all from the Rongguo Residence. We are all in the same boat."
As he spoke, he brought Jia Zheng to his study and planned to explain these matters.
Jia Baobao wanted to eavesdrop but was stopped by a bloody hand.
Wang Xifeng: "Baoyu, where are you going?"
"I …"
Wang Xifeng blocked her way. "Let's go. If you have nothing to do, come with me to find some medicine."
"I have …"
Jia Baobao was glared at by him and did not dare to continue.
Wang Xifeng took her to his room and walked past the Jia Lian.
The Jia Lian was still standing in the courtyard in shock, the tip of his sword pointed to the ground.
Wang Xifeng walked past him as if he did not see him.
Jia Baobao was a little embarrassed. She gently pulled the Jia Lian's sleeve.
The Jia Lian was stunned and turned his head with blank eyes.
"Brother Jia Lian, let's go together, shall we?"
After a long while, the Jia Lian shivered and slowly came back to his senses.
"Okay, okay." He stuttered as he agreed.
"Why did you call him?" A cold, mocking voice came.
The Jia Lian grasped the sword in his hand and stared at Wang Xifeng, who was standing under the eaves of the corridor.
He was wearing a jade-colored coat, a black armor, and a peach-colored long skirt. Standing under the warm light under the eaves of the corridor, he looked like a beautiful female ghost. Not to mention, blood was dripping down from his fingertips.
"Do you think a sword can save you?"
He walked over step by step.
The Jia Lian was so scared that he took a step back. "Don't come over."
Wang Xifeng did not seem to hear his warning and took bigger steps forward.
"You …" Jia Baobao wanted to warn him to be careful.
Just as she opened her mouth to speak, she saw Wang Xifeng raise an index finger in front of her lips. Her phoenix eyes slightly raised as she smiled sweetly.
"Shh —"
The Jia Lian was even more frightened when he saw his smiling face. He held the sword in front of his chest and stepped back.
Wang Xifeng put down his hand, lifted the hem of his skirt, and rushed toward him.
"Clang!" The sword fell to the ground.
The Jia Lian covered his right hand, which was kicked by Wang Xifeng, and screamed.
Wang Xifeng lifted his right leg and flicked the hem of his skirt. His movements were domineering and beautiful.
"What are you screaming for? You don't even want your tongue anymore? "
The Jia Lian was scared and closed his mouth with a pale face.
"I told you not to provoke me. You didn't listen. You didn't listen."
Wang Xifeng put the tip of his shoe on the hilt of the sword and lifted it gently. The sword jumped into his palm.
The Jia Lian's legs trembled and he turned around to run.
But he froze as soon as he took a step.
He trembled and lowered his head, only to see a cold sword on his shoulder. The blood in Wang Xifeng's palm was flowing down the sword.
Jia Lian swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a pleasant tone, "You, quickly put down your sword!"
Wang Xifeng held the sword in her hand and pressed it against his neck again.
The Jia Lian's throat trembled. He said hurriedly, "Second Young Mistress Lian, I was wrong. I was really wrong!"
"Oh? Lian Erye was wrong? That's rare. Where did you go wrong? "
The Jia Lian whispered, "I was anxious and accidentally hurt you."
Her hand shook and the tip of the sword drew a red line on his neck.
"Ah!" The Jia Lian closed his eyes and shouted, "I was narrow-minded. I was suppressed by you for too long. I was obsessed and wanted to take revenge on you."
"Do you dare to do it again next time?"
"I don't dare! I don't dare! "The Jia Lian's voice trembled.
Jia Baobao stood aside and watched silently. He felt that the Jia Lian was pitiful, but he brought it on himself.
Wang Xifeng sneered, "That better be the case. Today's matter won't end well. Lian Erye, just you wait."
With that, she casually tossed the sword out of the courtyard.
The Jia Lian's legs trembled and he hurriedly ran away.
Jia Baobao carefully looked at the distance the sword was thrown and asked the System, "I say, are there hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this house? If I go to investigate the truth of that thing, will my life be in danger? "
"No, it can't be?"
"Why do you sound so uncertain?"
The System coughed.
Jia Baobao thought for a while and asked secretly, "System, why don't we turn around and suck up to the main character. Otherwise, before we lose, we'll lose our lives here …"
Wang Xifeng suddenly turned around.
Jia Baobao quickly straightened his back and stared at him without blinking.
Half of his clothes were soaked in blood. He looked like a female ghost who had died a horrible death.
Wang Xifeng smiled, "Did I scare you?"
Jia Baobao nodded.
The System quickly reminded her, "Hey!"
She immediately shook her head.
"Hmm?" Wang Xifeng walked closer and said in a low voice, "Did I scare you? Are you afraid of me? "
Jia Baobao coughed and touched his nose. His gaze drifted left and right until it fell on her fingertips.
His fingertips were still dripping with blood.
"Your injury …"
Wang Xifeng's gaze never left her face. He said lightly, "It's just a small injury. It's not a big deal."
Hey! You've lost half a tank of blood. Are you sure it's not a big deal?
"I think it's better for you to get an imperial physician to take a look. An injured arm heals slowly."
Wang Xifeng smiled, "Why would I need an imperial physician? You're here."
"Huh?" Jia Baobao suddenly raised his head and met his aggressive gaze.
He smiled, withdrew his gaze, and reached out to hold her hand.
"Baoyu, come with me."
Their intertwined hands were sticky as if they were separated by a layer of blood.
Jia Baobao whispered to the System, "System, I have a request."
"What request?"
"Can you kiss me?"
The System was about to crash!
"You, you, what are you talking about!"
Jia Baobao was a little disappointed, "Oh, I can't."
"That's not it … Cough, what do you want?"
Jia Baobao whispered, "I don't want to see blood. It's better to see a small person with lines."
The System was speechless.
"Then you …"
"Sorry, the System wants to buy an orange. Please dial later …"
The System was pretending to be dead!
Jia Baobao had no choice but to try his best to forget the blood on Wang Xifeng's hand.
She tried her best to pretend not to care, but he kept staring at her.
"Do you care?"
"What?" Jia Baobao was confused.
Wang Xifeng glanced at his injured arm, "I was injured by a Jia Lian … Do you think I'm more useless than him?"
"Why are you asking me this question?" Jia Baobao complained to the System.
The System said, "Haven't you noticed? He … to you … "
Maybe it was because she didn't reply for a long time that he misunderstood.
Wang Xifeng hurriedly said, "With his ability, he wouldn't be able to hurt me. This wound is useful for another purpose."
He squeezed her hand, "Trust me."
Jia Baobao was confused, but he still smiled and agreed.
The two of them walked into Wang Xifeng's room without saying anything.
There was nothing in the room that a girl would like. Even the backrest and chairs were heavy cobalt blue and dark gray, making the room feel empty and cold.
She didn't know if she was blind, but she didn't find any traces of a Jia Lian living in this room.
Wang Xifeng found some medicinal powder and pulled her to sit on the couch.
"Baoyu, can you help me?"
"This … Are you going to apply medicine? But sister-in-law … "Jia Baobao's paws were numb.
The System said, "Oh, what kind of development is this? Can sister-in-law love me again? "
Wang Xifeng raised his eyebrows, "I'll treat you as a child. It's okay."
"Oh." Jia Baobao hesitated.
Wang Xifeng sighed, "I don't want the servants to know about this wound. If they know, they'll gossip again."
He leaned forward, "Don't be afraid. If you're really afraid of offending me, why don't you close your eyes?"
That was a good idea.
After making up his mind, Jia Baobao closed his eyes. His long eyelashes cast a small shadow.
Wang Xifeng stared at her eyebrows. He held the sharp end of the scissors and passed the red thread wrapped around the end to her hand.
"What's this?"
Her white fingers touched the red thread at the end of the scissors.
"The dried blood has coagulated on my clothes. Help me cut them open now."
He saw her fingers tremble, like a timid bamboo rat.
"This … I'll close my eyes. I don't want to hurt you."
"It's okay. I'm watching."
Jia Baobao couldn't refuse, so he followed his instructions. He held his wrist with one hand and the scissors with the other, cutting upwards bit by bit.
"Hiss —"
Jia Baobao's hand stopped.
Wang Xifeng stared at her face full of concern. He suddenly smiled and said gently, "It's okay. I accidentally pulled on the cloth."
"Then I'll be more careful."
The System stared at the long cut made by the scissors on Wang Xifeng's arm and couldn't help but sigh, "Humans are really a mysterious carbon-based organism."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp scissors made a second cut on his strong arm.
Wang Xifeng stared at her, not even frowning.
If it wasn't for his muscles contracting reflexively, the System might have thought that a human like him couldn't feel pain.
"Host, I think you shouldn't underestimate these low-dimensional life forms. They may be more dangerous than you think."
"Ah? What are you trying to say? "
"I want to say …"
Seeing that Jia Baobao was about to make a third cut, the System hurriedly said, "Hurry up and stop, dear! If you continue, he'll die, dear! "
Jia Baobao suddenly stopped.
Seeing that she stopped moving, Wang Xifeng frowned, "What's wrong?"
"Uh … I think I'll stop." Jia Baobao threw the scissors to the side.
Wang Xifeng blinked and said disappointedly, "Alright then."
He looked at the two new parallel cuts on his arm and said, "You did a good job cutting them, they didn't hurt me at all."
The System was speechless.
Are you blind? Do you dare to touch your conscience and say that again?
Jia Baobao said to the System, "So, you were trying to trick me into stopping?"
The System said, "I wasn't! I wasn't! Don't talk nonsense! "
Wang Xifeng tore the remaining half of his sleeve lightly, applied medicine, and wrapped it with a white cloth.
His movements were practiced, as if being injured was a common occurrence to him.
Wang Xifeng said in a low voice, "Don't get involved in these things."
Jia Baobao said, "Is it the thing that made Master and the others angry today?"
"Whether you saw those things or not, you have to say you didn't see them. You don't have a scholarly or noble title, you won't have a good ending if you get involved in this. "
Jia Baobao heard the sound of his shoes rubbing against the ground, he seemed to have gone to get something.
She stared at her purple mission quietly and asked softly, "You said that to me, does that mean you know what's involved in this matter?"
Wang Xifeng didn't answer for a long time.
Jia Baobao was about to speak when he felt a chill on the tip of his nose.
"I've already done it, do you still want to close your eyes?"
Jia Baobao opened his eyes, but was blinded by the colorful light. Upon closer inspection, he was wearing a brocade cloak with large sleeves and open necks. The dark red satin surface was embroidered with gold thread or silver thread, it was rich and complicated, it was extraordinarily gorgeous.
His hair was untied, and his long hair was let loose, which made his nose bridge higher, his eye sockets deeper, and the corners of his face more distinct.
Jia Baobao said to the System, "This is really strange, they say that when you look at a beauty under the light, the more you look, the more beautiful you are. Why is it that when I look at a beauty under the light, the more I look at him, the more he looks like a man?"
The System, "… Pfft!"
This heartless System actually burst out laughing!
Even though Wang Xifeng was dressed in household clothes, he still looked like a celestial concubine, gorgeous and eye-catching.
He smiled and crooked his finger at her, "Sit closer, you're always so far away from me, I can't eat you up."
Jia Baobao moved closer to him.
Wang Xifeng's gaze lingered on her earlobe, he lowered his body and pressed his forehead against hers.
So hot! Even his breath seemed to be boiling hot.
He lowered his voice and said, "How much do you know about the Crown Prince being deposed?"
Even though his tone was gentle, his aura made her feel like she was taking an exam.
Jia Baobao, "I know that the Crown Prince was punished for the crime of treason."
"Do you know what the crime of treason is?"
Jia Baobao lowered his voice, "Isn't it coveting the throne?"
Wang Xifeng pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows, his entire person exuding a sharp aura, "Yes, do you know what happened to the Crown Prince?"
Jia Baobao didn't know about this, she shook her head.
Wang Xifeng chuckled, his thin lips moving slightly, "The Crown Prince's bloodline is bestowed with dove wine."
Jia Baobao leaned back and looked at him in surprise.
Wang Xifeng patted her back comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, the winner takes all, this is only natural."
Jia Baobao's eyes turned, and suddenly said, "You wouldn't bring this up for no reason, could it be that this matter is related to the quarrel between First Master and the others?"
Wang Xifeng smiled, "Baoyu is very smart."
"His Majesty is already old, and there is no Crown Prince, which of the princes and dukes aren't eager to try? This is also the time for the ministers to choose a side. "
"If you choose the right side, you will naturally enjoy glory and wealth, but if you choose the wrong side …"
His unfinished words brought endless fear to the crowd.
"Although I don't know what they hid in the ancestral hall, I think it has something to do with this matter."
Jia Baobao nodded repeatedly, but saw that the purple task didn't respond at all.
He suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed at the tip of her nose.
Jia Baobao looked at him.
Seeing that he had attracted her attention, Wang Xifeng withdrew his hand, then pointed at four fingers, one by one, and said, "Jia Shi, Wang, Xue, we have a relationship where one gains glory, one loses glory, one loses glory, one loses glory, one loses glory, one loses glory, one loses glory, one loses glory, one loses glory, one loses glory, one loses glory, one loses glory, one loses glory, one loses glory, one loses glory, one loses glory, one by one, the situation in the residence is not good."
"The Wang family, because of Prince Teng's high official position and real power, is better off; the Jia family is second; although the Shi family has a big business, it is already empty internally, and there is still the Xue family."
He closed his fingers, "Do you think they won't choose a side?"
"But what does this have to do with our ancestral hall?" Jia Baobao became more and more confused as she listened.
Wang Xifeng chuckled, "Don't they need money to seize power? If our Jia family chooses a side, what can we give to those princes? "
"So the gold is prepared for political donations? Isn't it too little? Is there actually something else in the ancestral hall? "Jia Baobao muttered to herself.
"It seems like you already understand." Wang Xifeng put down his hand.
"No, I don't understand anything!" Jia Baobao still hoped that he would explain more clearly.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng smiled and tapped her forehead, "It's best that you don't understand. Anyway, listen to me and don't blindly participate with them, do you understand?"
"Ah … oh."
Wang Xifeng helped her tidy up her sleeves. When he lowered his head, there was a hint of gentleness.
