Qi Ji came out of the Qi Mansion, wearing green clothes and a jade crown, but the gloom on his face could not be concealed.

Qi Ji got on the carriage and said to Xiao Si: "You should serve the Duke well during this period of time."

Xiao Si nodded and said, "Yes, sir. The Duke is now 'bedridden'. Just give him some rice and water, and I will serve him well."

Qi Ji nodded and asked, "Did anything happen to grandma today?"

"No." Xiao Si thought for a moment and replied, "However, two girls just reported to the police, and it seems to be related to the Bai Mansion."

"Two girls?" Qi Ji didn't know why, but he always felt nervous when he heard the two girls. It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it be Youzi and Aning?

Xiao Si replied, "I'm not sure either."

Qi Ji rewarded Xiao Si with a piece of gold and quickly asked the coachman to drive to the yamen.

Inside the car, the air was filled with incense, but it couldn't suppress his panic.

After arriving at the government office, the yamen runners saw Qi Ji and flattered him, "Mr. Qi, why are you here?"

Qi Ji put on a gentle and harmless smile and said, "I heard that two girls from the Bai Mansion reported a crime. I came to see what happened."

The Bai Mansion is Qi Ji's maternal grandparents' home, so it is not surprising that Qi Ji came to show concern.

The bailiff said with a sad face, "The prefect is worried. The person who reported the case is a guest of the Bai family, and the one who was arrested is Miss Yu."

"How can this be..."

When the bailiff looked up again, he found that Qi Jiren had disappeared.

Qi Ji almost ran all the way there, making the yamen runners think that something had happened in the yamen.

"Sir, there's no point in doing this." Shen You stood with his arms folded, confronting the Jingzhao Yin.

Ximen Wuxin felt that he was extremely unlucky as an official. Although he was the Jingzhao Yin, in such a huge capital city, any official could suppress him. Even if they were not officials, they still had all kinds of connections with them.

"Ms. Shen, this is your Bai family's family affair. The little girl is just playing around. There's no need to make a scene with me here." Ximen Wuxin said with a frown.

The kidnapping of this grown girl was not a glorious thing. He didn't understand what these two girls were thinking that they had to make it public.

Yu Xinhong was frightened by Zhou Ning's beating. Although she was not tied up, she was trembling with fear.

However, Shen You knew very well that if she really kept it secret and dealt with it at the Bai family, there would be no justice at all and she would be forced to make a big deal out of a small matter.

She just wanted to make a big fuss in the government office. Even if Yu Xinhong suffered in the end, the rumors would be enough to make her suffer.

"Shen You?!"

When Shen You turned around, she saw Qi Ji running towards her.

As a young master from a wealthy family, Qi Ji has always been calm and composed, and would not change his expression even when faced with a huge crisis.

Now, he was sweating profusely, and the word panic was almost written on his face.

Qi Ji came to Shen You, but withdrew his hand that was about to hug her and asked, "How are you? Are you hurt?"

Shen You looked up and saw his red eyes. Her heart paused for a moment, and she smiled faintly, "I'm fine."

Then he looked at Ah Ning: "But Ah Ning is in trouble. Miss Yu hurt Ah Ning."

Zhou Ning sat on the chair, still with that casual and indifferent look, and said, "It didn't hurt me."

Qi Ji felt relieved, still looking at Shen You, and said to her: "I'm glad you're okay."

"Master Qi?" Ximen Wuxin saluted Qi Ji and asked, "Are these two yours?"

Just now, Zhou Ning and Shen You only said that they were staying in Bai Mansion and did not mention their relationship with Qi Ji. Ximen Wuxin thought that they were just relatives who were eating and drinking for free.

Qi Ji responded by saying, "These are my two junior sisters."

"It turns out to be my respected junior sister. My apologies, so rude." Ximen Wuxin apologized on the surface, thinking in his heart how to save the situation.

"Brother Qi Ji, Brother Qi Ji, this woman wants to kill me, please help me." Yu Xinhong felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw and threw herself on Qi Ji.

Shen You paused and took a half step back.

Qi Ji tried to pull Shen You's hand but stopped in mid-air.

So, she doesn't trust me at all?

The next second, Shen You kicked Yu Xinhong, pinned her to the ground and beat her, saying viciously: "Who do you think you are? You hurt Ah Ning and now you want to pester Qi Ji. Today I will let you know what it means to be punished for your evil deeds."

Shen You practices dual swordsmanship, and his hand strength is astonishing, almost comparable to that of an adult man who practices martial arts.

Yu Xinhong was punched once on the left cheek and once on the right cheek.

She kept shouting for help.

Ximen Wuxin hurried to separate the fight, but he couldn't get close to Shen You. Seeing how ruthless she was, he didn't dare to get close either.

Finally, Yu Xinhong woke up from her daze and Shen You stood up with relief.

Zhou Ning walked over, and Ximen Wuxin was so scared that he almost knelt down and begged her: "Miss, Miss Yu can't die here with me, I, I..."

Zhou Ning glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, I'm a medical student. I just want to see if she's okay."

Ximen Wuxin felt relieved.

Phew~ Miss Zhou is really kind-hearted.

"Yuzu, you used a good control of your strength. It's just a superficial wound. He's still conscious, so you can continue beating him."

"okay."

Shen You hit her again.

Ximen Wuxin was trembling beside him.

Woo woo woo, so scary, two such scary women.

"Master Qi, why don't you... stop him?" Ximen Wuxin asked cautiously to Qi Ji who was watching the fun.

Qi Ji smiled faintly and said, "The little girl is just playing around, you don't have to take it to heart."

Looking at Yu Xinhong who had been beaten into a pig's head, Ximen Wuxin didn't dare to say a word.

You never know if you’ll be the next one.

Zhou Ning walked up to Ximen Wuxin, took out the physical evidence found on Yu Xinhong, and said, "Yu Xinhong, they found a few strong men to poison me, and wanted to rape me and then kill me. I have the witnesses and physical evidence, and I hope you can conduct a thorough investigation."

"Her motive is—"

Zhou Ning looked at Qi Ji: "You thought I was Mr. Qi's sweetheart and you were jealous of me."

Zhou Ning and Qi Ji looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts from each other's calm eyes.

"Tell me, is she really coming for me?" Zhou Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen You who was beating Yu Xinhong.

The person Qi Ji likes?

He probably understood that Aning had warded off disaster for Youzi.

If it wasn't Ah Ning today, if it wasn't Ah Ning who knew how to use poison, I'm afraid...

However, Qi Ji was wrong about this. Zhou Ning and Shen You were both very smart. If they were not 99% sure, they would not act on their own and allow the other party to lead them into a trap.

Qi Ji lowered his eyes and said nothing. He couldn't help but look at Shen You, but finally looked at An Ning and said, "I'm sorry, An Ning, I will give you an explanation."

Only then did Qi Ji notice the miserable state Zhou Ning was in.

Normally she always likes to use a headband to hold her hair together, but today her hair is disheveled, and there is dust and small wounds on her body, which must have been caused by accident during the fight.

"Why don't you go and take care of the wound first. It would be ugly for the little girl to have a scar." Qi Ji treated An Ning as his little sister, so naturally he felt a little distressed when he saw her like this.
