The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

563 Fan Mingyuan Is Severely Injured (3)

The maidservants put down the things, bowed, and left, leaving the veiled woman and the person carrying the zither behind.

The girl leading the way smiled and introduced, “This is the best tea master in our Fragrant Teahouse, Miss Lan Qing. And this is Miss Liu Xuan, the zither master.”

After receiving Xuanyuan Ce’s nod, the girl leading the way left.

The next step was to make tea and play the zither. There was not a single unnecessary word. He was really serious.

Shen Yijia covered her face. This was really different from what they had imagined.

How were she and her beautiful husband going to avoid being investigated?

Actually, Xuanyuan Ce was also very puzzled. Song Jingchen was the one who provided him with the idea of attracting the old lord’s attention by visiting a brothel. Song Jingchen was the one who said that this was a brothel, but in the end, this was simply a clean place to drink tea.

He was definitely not disappointed.

Absolutely.

After drinking two cups of tea, Xuanyuan Ce asked coldly, “You can only drink tea here?”

Miss Lan Qing was stunned. She pursed her lips and smiled. “Master, what else can we do if we don’t drink tea in the teahouse?”

Her voice was soft and delicate, with a slight drawl.

Xuanyuan Ce glanced at Shen Yijia without batting an eyelid. He gritted his teeth and held Miss Lan Qing’s hand. “It’s a pity that your hands are only used to make tea.”

What the heck?

Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. Was this the so-called “I’ll move if the enemy doesn’t move”?

Just as she thought this, her sleeve was gently tugged.

Shen Yijia turned around and blinked at Song Jingchen. “I understand, I understand. Control yourself, right?” she thought.

Song Jingchen thought to himself, “If you understand, close your mouth.”

Shen Yijia immediately shut her mouth and lowered her head.

However, no matter how Xuanyuan Ce tried to tease her, Miss Lan Qing did not say anything useful.

However, he did not mind being taken advantage of at all.

It angered Xuanyuan Ce to death, but he could not flare up. After all, he had done nothing.

After the last cup of tea, Xuanyuan Ce pushed Miss Lan Qing away and said with a faint smile, “I’ve also drunk Miss Lan Qing’s tea. Let’s end it here today.”

Coincidentally, the zither stopped at this moment.

Miss Lan Qing was not surprised by Xuanyuan Ce’s claim. She covered her mouth and smiled. “More haste less speed. I’ll send His Highness out.”

This sentence had a deeper meaning.

The three of them left the Fragrant Teahouse. As soon as they returned to their residence, Xuanyuan Ce instructed the servants to get water and take a shower, as if he had been stained with something dirty.

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. “He was clearly having fun just now.”

When Xuanyuan Ce came out of the shower, his face was still dark.

“How are you going to investigate next?” he asked Song Jingchen.

There were people following them everywhere inside. It was almost impossible to walk around in private.

Knocking someone out would alert the enemy.

Song Jingchen raised his eyebrows and said, “Your Highness, go to the brothel a few more times.”

Xuanyuan Ce was speechless.

If it really didn’t work out, he would trick someone out next time and tie them up to extort a confession.

It was simple and crude.

When he turned around and noticed the envious expression on Shen Yijia’s face, Xuanyuan Ce’s heart skipped a beat.

Although there was no progress on the case, at least they were in. Was it still far from unveiling the final veil?

Shen Yijia was very optimistic.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the house, they saw South Wind waiting anxiously.

“What happened?” Song Jingchen asked with a frown.

South Wind said, “Lord Fan is here.”

Fan Mingyuan?

Song Jingchen hadn’t received Fan Mingyuan’s letter for a long time, so he naturally didn’t know that Fan Mingyuan had entered the capital. He was puzzled.

South Wind continued, “Lord Fan entered the capital with One Dot and the others. Lord Fan was seriously injured.”

What South Wind didn’t say was that other than Fan Mingyuan being injured, several of his brothers had died.

Song Jingchen’s eyes turned cold. “Where are they now?”

“One Dot entered the city to look for his subordinate. I saw that Lord Fan was seriously injured, so I secretly brought him back. Mo Yuan is treating his injuries.”

As he spoke, he led the way.

Afraid that someone would suddenly come, he arranged for him to stay in the back room.

At this moment, the sky had already darkened. Madam Li was guarding there nervously with a few children.

Seeing Song Jingchen return, Madam Li heaved a sigh of relief. “Brother Chen, you’re finally back. Mingyuan…”

Before she could finish, the door creaked open.

Mo Yuan walked out covered in blood. Without waiting for Song Jingchen to ask, she shook her head. “I’ve tried my best.”

...

Fan Mingyuan had taken an arrow to the chest and had many knife wounds on his body. It was not easy for him to hold his breath until now. She had taken off the arrow, but…
