After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

The two of them ran all the way back to the carriage, not daring to stay any longer.

It was not until he got on the carriage that Meng Zhaoge discovered that Yuan Jinglie's clothes were stained with blood.

"You are hurt!" She leaned over and wanted to see his injuries.

Yuan Jinglie pushed her back and said softly, "It's just a little scratched, just wrap it with gauze."

"Gauze!" Meng Zhaoge seemed to be reminded and quickly took out the gauze from the bag.

"Oh yeah, and medicinal wine!"

Meng Zhaoge muttered to himself as he found all the things, then pulled Yuan Jinglie's arm over and healed him.

Only then did she see the size of the wound.

How could it be just a simple scratch?

She sighed in her heart and muttered, "Lord Wu'an Hou is really made of iron. This is called a minor scratch. If I was stabbed, it would also be a minor injury."

"Sister!" Yuan Jinglie said in a panic, "Don't say such unlucky words."

Meng Zhaoge bandaged him but didn't take it seriously.

"It's not bad luck. I've been dreaming for two days in a row that I was stabbed to death by Yuwen Qi."

"..."

The tone was so serious that Yuan Jinglie felt as if she had been stabbed with a knife.

He panicked, "Why did he stab you? Just because of the divorce?"

Meng Zhaoge finished tying the last knot for him and casually responded, "It's all a dream. There's no reason in a dream."

But Yuan Jinglie didn't think so.

What you think about during the day, you will dream about at night. She is actually so afraid of Yuwen Qi.

Admittedly, Yuan Jinglie didn't have a good impression of Yuwen Qi. Indeed, this man was selfish and cold-hearted, a hypocrite.

But in her dream, Yuwen Qi had obviously become a madman who killed people without mercy.

Yuan Jinglie looked at her profile with complicated feelings.

Is there something between her and Yuwen Qi that he doesn't know?

After sending Meng Zhaoge back to Jiang Mansion that day, Yuan Jinglie immediately ordered people to track down the whereabouts of today's assassin.

Because the time interval was too long, he didn't actually hold out hope of catching someone in a short time.

But in the evening, the guard Li Jing brought someone to him.

"My lord, I found him by a river near the snowy area. He did not resist when he saw us." Li Jing reported.

This man was very strange. When he saw them, he just said one sentence and asked them to take him away.

Li Jing was very alert, worried that this person was coming for Yuan Jinglie. But this person asked for a body search and said that he did not carry any weapons.

There was no other way, Li Jing could only bring the person to Yuan Jinglie first.

Yuan Jinglie raised his eyelids and glanced at the person in front of him.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a sturdy build and a scar on his left cheek.

"I have something to say to the Marquis, and I want to see you alone." said the man.

Li Jingxian said, "You are not worthy to talk to the Marquis alone. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"I'm asking for your opinion, sir. Why are you so excited? It's true that the eunuchs are anxious when the emperor is not."

"you--!!"

"Alright." Seeing that the two were about to fight, Yuan Jinglie spoke out to stop them.

Then he said to Li Jing, "Just stand guard at the door."

Li Jing had no choice but to do as he was told and leave the two people in the room.

Yuan Jinglie didn't think that anyone could hurt him, so he didn't take the man in front of him seriously.

She just glanced at him and said calmly, "Are you the one who assassinated me today?"

"That's right." The man showed no sign of guilt. "This is the only way I can meet with you alone and tell you something important."

"what?"

"My Lord, do you know about General Zhaoyong Jing Moshan who followed Emperor Gaozong in his battles when the Southern Chu Kingdom was established?"

Upon hearing this, a solemn look flashed across Yuan Jinglie's face.

If for no other reason, this General Jing and his family were all traitors whom Emperor Gaozong had long ago ordered not to be mentioned.

People later on didn’t even know what General Jing’s name was.

"Who are you?" He lowered his voice.

The man knelt solemnly in front of Yuan Jinglie and said word by word: "I am Pang Wei, the younger brother of Pang Longfei, the deputy general beside General Jing in the past! I want to see you today, just to clear General Jing's name! The general has never rebelled!"

Yuan Jinglie pursed his lips and said, "It was Emperor Gaozong who dealt with the Jing family back then. In Nanchu, there is absolutely no possibility that the Jing family's case will be overturned."

He died because of his great achievements that frightened his master. How could the Yuwen family help Jing Moshan to clear his name?

Pang Wei said: "That's why I need your help!"

"Why should I help you?" Yuan Jinglie was a little puzzled. "I am the Marquis of Nanchu and I follow the prince. Why do you think I would risk offending the Nanchu royal family for a dead person I don't even know?"

"Because you are not Lord Nanchu at all!"

Pang Wei suddenly became excited, his face flushed, "You, you are the descendant of the Jing family!"

Yuan Jinglie froze for a moment, with a look of deep surprise in his eyes.

"Nonsense! I think you are crazy." Then, he immediately frowned and said angrily: "Li Jing, beat this lunatic and throw him to the woodshed. Send him to the Dali Temple tomorrow for processing."

"Master Hou!"

Pang Wei shouted in surprise and was dragged out by Li Jing.

After being beaten, he was thrown into the woodshed while still breathing.

Outside, it was already pitch dark.

Pang Wei, who was in severe pain, lay on the cold ground, and even breathing was painful.

He couldn't help but regret it.

The descendants of General Jing, who had become the Marquis of Nanchu, had long since become content with their current status! How could they possibly avenge the Jing family?

It’s a pity that General Jing is still charged with treason many years after his death.

Just when Pang Wei was feeling sad, the door of the woodshed was opened.

"Who?"

He was alert and saw an extremely handsome face walking out of the darkness.

"My Lord?" Pang Wei was stunned.

……

The next day, the sky brightened.

Pang Wei was found dead in the woodshed. When the guard went in to check, he was already dead.

He must have died from the pain, his expression was extremely hideous.

Li Jing went to report to Yuan Jinglie, but Yuan Jinglie didn't even raise his head: "He was a madman to begin with. It would be a relief for him if he died. Just throw him into a mass grave outside the city."

So there was another body in the mass grave, and no one cared.

But what no one knew was that the corpse woke up after the people from Wu'an Marquis' Mansion left.

Meanwhile, in the Marquis' Mansion, Yuan Jinglie's mind was filled with every word Pang Wei had said to him last night.

"Your father is General Jing's youngest son, Jing Kang! When the Jing family was struck by a sudden disaster, your father was still an infant. He was taken away by the doctor who came to the palace to diagnose his pulse that day, and he escaped the disaster!"

"Mr. Jing was taken to the Western Regions and lived in hiding until 20 years later when he returned to Chu and started a spice business in Guannan. Later, he and your mother, Madam Shangguan, gave birth to you."

"But seventeen years ago, a flood broke out in Guannan. Mr. Jing and Mrs. Shangguan both died while saving people, and you have been missing since then."

Pang Wei said confidently, "If you don't believe me, the heterochromatic eye under your eye patch is the best proof. General Jing and Mr. Jing have always had an eye patch covering their eyes! They claim to be blind in one eye, but it's actually hereditary heterochromatic eyes!"
