After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss
Chapter 131 Strategy
At night, Xiahou Yu did not return home. Qin Hanlin guessed that he was still in Yi Mansion. If she went at this time, the heir of the Yi family might be there too. Men love face the most. If there are others around, as long as she shows some pity, Xiahou Yu will not be able to save face and basically agree.
If he doesn't agree, or even drives her away, she will let others see that the heir of the Xiahou family is so cold-blooded and heartless, and is totally unsuitable to take over the Xiahou family and the sect behind it. In this way, Xiahou Yu will be forced to keep her under pressure.
Of course, if this doesn't work, she has a last resort.
Qin Hanlin went into the house to change into a thinner gauze dress, and went to Yi Mansion with Mo'er.
In the courtyard, Meng Yin and Gu Ling were talking to them about the jade slip.
Just when they were talking excitedly, someone outside suddenly reported that Qin Hanlin was here to visit.
"Qin Hanlin?" Yi Qing frowned. He had never heard of this name.
Xiahou Yu sighed and said, "She is my uncle's daughter."
"What is she doing here?" Yiqing asked.
The servant replied, "She said she came here specially to see Master Xiahou, and that she wanted to ask for something."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at him.
"Tell her to go back." Xiahou Yu waved his hand impatiently.
The servant hesitated and said, "She also said...if Master Xiahou doesn't want to see her, she will wait outside and not go back."
"What the hell?" Xu Zheng frowned and leaned close to Meng Yin's ear: "Xia Houyu's peach blossom?"
Meng Yin nodded and looked at Xia Nian's expression.
Xia Nian lowered his eyes, and nothing could be seen from his face, his expression was as indifferent as ever.
"Let her come in and wait in the outer courtyard." Xia Houyu said softly to Xia Nian, "I'll just ask what's going on."
Xia Nian nodded as a reply.
When Xiahou Yu went to the outer courtyard, Meng Yin immediately asked Xia Nian: "Niannian, what's going on?"
Xia Nian told them what happened in the afternoon.
"Oh my god, a forced daughter-in-law." Xu Zheng sighed, "Whose aunt is so lenient?"
"Perhaps it's because Brother Xiahou's parents have passed away, so other relatives will inevitably say a few more words." Pei Xuanxi said, feeling fortunate that his parents had no brothers or sisters.
Xu Zheng curled her lips: "Isn't this just a lot of extra words?"
Meng Yin took Xia Nian's arm and said, "Niannian, aren't you worried?"
Xia Nian looked at her: "What are you worried about?"
"I'm worried that Xiahou Yu will keep her here!" Meng Yin said anxiously.
"The reason why Miss Qin chose to come at this time is because she has made up her mind. She thought that there are too many people here and Xiahou Yu would lose face, so she agreed to her request." Xia Nian analyzed calmly.
She paused, and then continued, "But Xiahou Yu is obviously not someone who cares about face. I guess she will use Xiahou Yu's reputation to threaten him."
"If I lost it, shouldn't I be more worried?" Meng Yin said with eyes wide open.
Xia Nian smiled: "Xia Houyu shouldn't care about these. Even if she really makes Xia Houyu infamous, his own ability is the biggest guarantee. Besides, how many people will believe her?"
Meng Yin touched his chin and nodded: "That's indeed the truth."
"Then her level is quite high." Xu Zheng said.
Meng Yin shook her finger: "Is she as good as our Nian Nian? She figured out her little thoughts in a matter of minutes."
Xu Zheng nodded in agreement. While she was talking, Qin Hanlin had already arrived outside the yard. From their angle, they could just see the two of them talking.
Qin Hanlin was only wearing a white gauze dress. Under the moonlight, she stood there gracefully, with a fragile beauty.
"Brother Yu." When she saw Xiahou Yu, she felt very nervous and folded her hands in front of her to hide her nervousness.
Xiahou Yu said calmly: "I have only met you once, there is no need to call you by that name."
Qin Hanlin did not hesitate and said immediately, "Yes, Master Xiahou."
"Tell me what's the matter. If it's something happening in the afternoon, no need to talk about it." Xiahou Yu said straight to the point.
Qin Hanlin raised her head, frowned, and her face was pale and colorless, looking very pitiful: "Is Master Xiahou really so heartless?"
"Yes, I am very ruthless. Is there anything else?" Xiahou Yu folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the tree trunk.
Qin Hanlin bit her lip and tried to struggle: "Master Xiahou, I will only stay by your side and will not cause you any trouble. Is this not okay?"
Xiahou Yu looked at the ground impatiently and said calmly, "No."
"Does Master Xiahou want outsiders to see you driving away your relatives in the middle of the night?" Her eyes sparkled and her tone was soft, as if she was considering him when she said this.
Xiahou Yu crossed his arms over his chest, staring at her with his dark eyes. He suddenly sneered and said indifferently, "You can try. Don't think I will be gentle with you."
Qin Hanlin got goosebumps when he looked at her. She clutched her skirt tightly. Now, that was the only way she could do.
In the courtyard, Xu Zheng suddenly asked Xia Nian: "Niannian, since these two sets of methods are useless to Xia Houyu, what should Qin Hanlin do?"
Xu Zheng's words made Xia Nian feel uneasy. Before she could answer her, she stood up and ran to the outer courtyard, scaring everyone present.
Meng Yin reacted and shouted, "No! Stop Qin Hanlin!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a bang outside, and Qin Hanlin actually bumped directly into the pillar!
Xiahou Yu just wanted to finish the matter quickly. After telling her to leave again, Qin Hanlin pretended to walk out. When Xiahou Yu turned around, he rushed over and bumped into a pillar. He has now fainted.
As soon as Xia Nian ran to the gate of the courtyard, he saw blood flowing from her forehead and slowly sliding to the ground, while her maid was holding her and crying loudly.
Tao Tao hurriedly called for someone to carry her into the house. If someone died in Yiqing's mansion, and it was someone from the Xiahou family, then if the news got out, someone would definitely make a big deal out of it.
"Tsk, how hateful! Knowing that Xiahou Yu wouldn't fall for it, he actually let himself get hurt in Yi Mansion!" Meng Yin slammed the table and said angrily.
Xiahou Yu stepped forward and said to Yi Qing, "I'm sorry, Brother Yi."
Yiqing shook his head and said, "It's okay." It was also the first time he had seen such a scene, and he was more surprised than angry.
Meng Yin was so angry that she ran in and stopped Tao Tao from treating her wound. Fortunately, there was a doctor in Yiqing's house. He told everyone that Qin Hanlin was hit hard and needed to rest for a few days.
"She has a good plan. Now that she is injured, she has a reason to stay with Xiahou Yu." Meng Yin glanced at the people inside and said unconvinced.
Gu Ling stood beside her, stroking her back with his big hands to smooth her hair.
Xia Nian sighed: "It's a pity that I couldn't stop her. I just thought that she would use this method to threaten Xia Houyu."
Xiahou Yu clenched his hands, raised his leg and was about to go back to settle the score with Xiahou Jing.
Xia Nian pulled him back in time and said, "Don't. If you go to find Xia Houjing, won't you tell her that Qin Hanlin was injured in Yi Mansion? She will definitely make a big fuss about it!"
After hearing this, Xia Houyu calmed down a little: "Miss Xia is right, I was so angry that I lost my mind."
Pei Xuanxi interrupted and said, "It's okay to let her stay. We have to go look for the jade slips later. We will be busy on the way, so we can just find an excuse to send her back."
Xiahou Yu didn't want to see her at all now. He said indifferently: "Brother Pei, you really just want to watch the fun and make trouble."
Pei Xuanxi smiled and said nothing.
"Mr. Pei is right. This is the only way we can do now." Xia Nian took their reputation into consideration. He thought that as long as Qin Hanlin didn't delay them from finding the jade slip, it would be fine for him to take it with him.
"Okay, since Miss Xia said so, let's take her with us." Xiahou Yu gritted his teeth and compromised.
"I'm so upset. I got fooled." Xu Zheng said as he kicked a pebble.
"A Shuo, go to Xiahou Mansion and tell Xiahou Jing that Qin Hanlin has stayed at Yi Mansion." Yi Qing said.
"Yes, young master." Ah Shuo nodded and flew away.
"We're going to Lianyun City tomorrow, everyone go back and get some rest." Tao Tao said, and she asked two more people to stay here, "I think she will wake up tomorrow."
"Well, let's go." Xia Nian glanced at Mo'er who was kneeling in front of the bed, then turned and left.
Mo'er tightly grasped Qin Hanlin's hand and cried softly: "Miss, your plan succeeded..."
Qin Hanlin was lying on the bed with gauze wrapped around his head, his lips were pale, and he was still unconscious.
For a moment, the surroundings fell silent, and a tear quietly slid down the corner of her eye.
