After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

The garden of the An Mansion is very large, with rockery, a small river, and a flower garden.

It's just that winter has arrived and no flowers have bloomed. It can be seen that General An's previous excuse of asking Jin Yunting to appreciate the flowers was a bit dishonest.

Jin Yunting was standing in the bare garden. The man's face was as handsome as the moon, as if adding a touch of color to the world.

Unfortunately, Fang Nanzhi is young and has something on her mind, so she doesn't really know how to appreciate handsome men.

"Master Jin, do you have something to talk to me about?"

The little girl asked directly.

Jin Yunting's eyes fell on her. In fact, he was very curious why every time he saw the little girl, he felt that she had a vibrant vitality.

At first, he thought that the little girl was healthy and lively, but there were many healthy people around him, but none of them were so energetic.

"I apologize for disturbing you, Miss Fang."

Fang Nanzhi scratched his head and said, "We are good friends. This kind of trivial matter shouldn't be considered a bother."

Young Master Jin risked his life to save her once, so she really didn't think there was anything offensive in meeting and talking to him.

Jin Yunting smiled.

"Forgive me for being blunt, but Miss Fang has been in danger several times since arriving in Beijing. As her good friend, I'm very worried."

"It just so happens that I have two useful people around me, and I want to give them to Miss Fang. I hope they can protect you."

Fang Nanzhi couldn't help but be stunned.

Give it to her?

No, they are not that familiar, right?

She could accept the prince because they had been friends for many years, but Jin Yunting, although they were good friends, didn't have much of a relationship.

Jin Yunting certainly knew that it was very rude and against the rules for him to say such words rashly.

But he still did.

Because I can't think of a better way.

"Thank you for your concern, but my family is very concerned about my safety and has made all the necessary arrangements." Fang Nanzhi thought about it and declined.

She really has no status or position to ask for Jin Yunting's people.

Jin Yunting stared at her and was silent for a while before speaking.

"Miss Fang, if you trust me, bringing my people with you will always be useful. Don't you really want to know the identity of the assassin?"

This statement is totally incomprehensible and irrelevant.

What does using his guards have to do with investigating assassins?

But Fang Nanzhi looked at the man's calm eyes and serious expression, and inexplicably felt that he was not lying.

"Master Jin, do you know something?"

Jin Yunting didn't answer.

Fang Nanzhi frowned, and the two of them were in a stalemate for a while.

Fang Nanzhi finally agreed to take the person in, but only on loan for three months, and during the loan period, she required the person to obey her orders.

It sounds a bit too much. People kindly sent guards to protect her, but she was still picky.

But Jin Yunting agreed without any hesitation.

After Jin Yunting left the An Mansion, Fang Nanzhi went to see her aunt again before leaving.

General An personally escorted the people out of the house, but saw two more people beside Yuan Bo's carriage.

Yuan Bo was very alert, but Fang Nanzhi said that they were also there to protect her and there was no need to worry.

Uncle Yuan agreed without changing his expression.

General An was very surprised. These two people looked familiar to him. They seemed to be people around Jin Yunting.

Jin Yunting has been weak and sickly since childhood, and the Jin family has put a lot of effort into ensuring that he can grow up safely.

For example, the people who served him were famous martial artists in the martial arts world.

The methods used by these gangsters are scarier than a corpse.

But Master Jin just gave her to Fang Nanzhi like that? And the girl accepted it?

General An was full of doubts, but he knew better than to ask any more questions.

Fang Nanzhi said goodbye to him and got on the carriage.

The car curtain was lowered, and the girl's calm expression disappeared instantly, and her eyebrows were almost wrinkled.

Just as her father had guessed before, the only people who could afford to support so many assassins and send them to the capital safely were either nobles or aristocratic families.

So when Jin Yunting said his men were useful, did that mean the assassins were raised by aristocratic families? Was the Jin family perhaps involved?

After making this bold guess, Fang Nanzhi felt a chill on his back.

But if that was the case, why did Jin Yunting send someone to give her a gift, to intentionally remind her or protect her?

He is the future young master of the Jin family. He can't betray his family for her, a casual acquaintance, right?

Fang Nanzhi couldn't figure it out, but he kept thinking about it.

If a noble family like the Jin family wanted to kill her, Chen Yong, and Yiyang, then they were essentially targeting Chen Zijun who had been dead for many years.

Is there any old grudge between my uncle and the Jin family? I don't think I've ever heard of it.

wrong.

Fang Nanzhi suddenly remembered what Mr. Deng had once told her.

The reign of the late emperor can be divided into two periods. In the early period of his reign, he was wary of and utilized the various families, which could be considered as a form of mutual benefit cooperation.

But after the late emperor took the throne firmly, he gradually discovered the harm that the aristocratic families posed to the court and the royal family, and he continued to use people from humble backgrounds and common people.

The fact that the late emperor placed great importance on Chen Zijun is a reflection of this.

From this perspective, the late emperor valued Chen Zijun and was indifferent to the aristocratic families. Wouldn't Chen Zijun have become a thorn in the eyes and bones of the aristocratic families?

Being in the position of prime minister, one is bound to make enemies, and it is possible to offend a behemoth like the Jin family.

Fang Nanzhi felt a chill in his heart, as if he had grasped something, but he was still confused.

Even if it was true that my uncle had harmed the interests of the family, he was already dead.

Nowadays, people attach importance to imperial examinations and people from poor families, but the suppression of aristocratic families is still relatively mild.

In other words, the aristocratic families have a certain living space and they are still powerful.

In this situation, even if Chen Zijun's old case is uncovered, can't the Jin family just push a few scapegoats?

Why take the risk of offending His Majesty and planning two large-scale assassinations?

Was it Jin who did it? What did Jin want to do?

Fang Nanzhi shook his head, feeling a little tired from thinking too much.

She returned home in a low profile, too lazy to go around to the front, and directly let Uncle Yuan go through the back door.

As a result, as soon as she got off the carriage, a bloody man rushed out from the darkness.

The man was moving too fast. Yuan Bo had just stopped the carriage and was still able to tie up the horse, but before he could stop him, the man half-knelt and grabbed Fang Nanzhi's skirt.

Before Fang Nanzhi could scream, he fell straight down.

Fang Nanzhi took a step back and saw that the fallen person seemed to have only his chest rising and falling, and was really unconscious, so he stepped forward cautiously.

"I'll do it, miss."

Anmei was scared. She got off the car a little late just to get the first aid kit, and this happened to her.

Anmei searched the unconscious man from head to toe and found the only weapon, a dagger, before ordering people to carry him into the mansion.

After Fang Nanzhi entered the mansion, she first arranged for someone to be sent by Jin Yunting.

Of the two guards, one was very strong, comparable in stature to Fang Yin, while the other was short, thin, and dark-skinned, making him inconspicuous in the crowd.

"What are your names?"

"My name is Langyue." said the burly man.

"My name is Qingfeng." The thin man spoke immediately.

Fang Nanzhi almost choked on her saliva. She knew that Jin Yunting was from a noble family and was a sentimental person, but the figures and appearances of these two people really had nothing to do with Langyue Qingfeng.

She tried hard to control her expression and maintain her dignity.

"What are you each good at?"

"I am skilled in bows and arrows. No one can escape within five hundred paces."

Lang Yue said loudly.

Fang Nanzhi was surprised. Five hundred steps? You know, shooting an arrow through a target from a hundred steps is considered a master. If this guy is hiding in the dark, he will be a deadly weapon.

"I am good at hiding. I can change my shape and not attract attention." Qingfeng said.

Fang Nanzhi could tell that both of them were not simple.

The person Jin Yunting sent was very thoughtful.

After thinking about it, she decided to hand the person over to Anmei and let Anmei take him to find her second uncle.

Her secret guards were all arranged by her second uncle. He knew who to use and how to use them. Her second uncle was more powerful than her.

Langyue Qingfeng had no objection at all. They followed the young master's orders. The young master told them to listen to Miss Fang in everything, so they listened.

Anmei breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. Even though Young Master Jin had sent someone away, the girl still trusted her more.

After arranging the people to go down, Fang Nanzhi went to see the unconscious person.

The man was arranged to stay in a guest room. Fang Nanzhi examined him and found that he had five or six external injuries, two of which almost hit his heart.

The reason for his coma was excessive blood loss.

By the time she finished treating the wound, applying medicine and bandaging it, it had already been dark for quite some time.

She twisted her neck and felt a little sore.

At the same time, she felt hungry, so she handed the follow-up care to the housekeeper and went to eat.

Everyone in the family had already eaten, but I specially left some for her in advance.

Now the whole family is watching her eat.

"Zhizhi, who did you save?"

Fang Nanzhi shook her head and said she didn't know. The person wasn't awake yet, so she had no one to ask.

"I think that person is waiting for someone." Fang Yin said firmly.

He asked someone to check and found a pool of blood behind a stone at the back door, indicating that someone had been hiding there for a while.

"You'll know when the person wakes up. Let the child eat first." Qian Fengping felt a little sorry for her daughter.

I've been so busy that I feel like the little girl has lost weight.

Fang Nanzhi smiled at his mother, indicating that everything was fine, and then asked, "Second uncle, have you arranged for the Jin family's people?"

"Ah."

Fang Yin knew that they were from the Jin family, so he went to investigate. Jin Yunting's two most capable secret guards were sent here just like that?

Thinking about Jin Yunting going to the sea of ​​fire to save his niece, he felt that this kid had some bad intentions.

How old is her niece? She's already attracting attention?

Meng Lan didn't think of this, she just felt uneasy.

"Zhizhi, you can't trust people easily. If they have bad intentions and are so close to you, it's very dangerous. If you need people, you can transfer them from the Meng Mansion."

As the newly appointed second aunt, Meng Lan has integrated well. She was accompanied by her husband this morning, and her younger brother and sister-in-law chatted with her in the afternoon.

Meng Lan really felt that getting married was nothing to be afraid of, unlike her other sisters and brothers who were terrified on the first day of their marriage.

To be a good bride, one must please the elders, make friends with peers, and be cautious in everything.

"Thank you, Second Auntie, but I won't need you yet. I recruited Jin Yunting because he said it might reveal the assassin's identity."

Fang Nanzhi speaks frankly.

The Fang family also treats Meng Lan as their own family and does not avoid her at all.

When Jin Yunting was sending someone off, someone inexplicably came to the door. The Fang family didn't tell anyone, but they always felt that a storm was coming.

They don't know where the danger is, so they can only be on guard everywhere.

And the Jin Mansion.

When Jin Ke found out what his son had done, his expression became distorted with anger.

The child had just recovered from a serious illness, and he didn't want him to go out.

But during this period, Jin Ke was considering candidates for his future daughter-in-law, including An Linglong.

An Linglong's advantages are obvious. She has a good family background and is loved by her father and brothers.

A father might not be willing to marry such a favored girl to Yun Ting, who is in poor health.

But An Linglong had broken off the engagement before. Even though everyone knew that the Third Prince was mischievous, people still wondered whether An Linglong was really so unsightly that she was broken off the engagement.

In other words, it would be difficult for An Linglong to find a good marriage even if she tried again. The young master of the Jin family should be the best.

But An Linglong still has some flaws. She is too weak and may not be able to bear the responsibilities of a clan wife.

If Jin Yunting had died early, leaving behind the weak clan wife and young son, wouldn't they have been bullied to death?

So Jin Ke also had his eyes on the daughter of a wealthy family who was known for her talent, but the girl's family background was not as good as An Linglong's.

He had been hesitating for the past few days, and when Jin Yunting said he wanted to visit General An, he agreed, thinking that maybe he could let his son take a look and choose for himself.

Although the lady was in the backyard and the son might not meet her if he went there, there was always a chance.

Unexpectedly, Jin Yunting was so bold that he said he was going to An Mansion, but in fact he was going to see Fang Nanzhi.

"Ting'er, do you know how much effort your family put into finding those two guards for you?" Jin Ke asked with a sullen face.

Miao sat on the chair, also a little anxious: "Ting'er, if you really like Miss Fang, your family can come and propose marriage. How can you send Langyue Qingfeng away?"

Jin Yunting knelt on the ground, his body straight and his expression unchanged.

Jin Ke glared at his wife and said, "What nonsense! How could Ting'er be interested in a little girl?"

Miao's face darkened. If it was boring, would she send all her confidants away?

The master is deceiving himself.

Seeing that the couple was about to quarrel, Jin Yunting spoke in time.

"It's not a gift, it's a loan. Mother, Miss Fang and I are innocent."

His eyes were lowered and his expression could not be seen, but Miao felt that the child was suffering and was forced to say things against his will.

"Even lending him won't work. You have to bring him back to me. Ting'er, you are not a child anymore. You should know your limits. In the Jin family, you are the most important." Jin Ke scolded.

Jin Yunting looked up at his father.

When he was a child, he always thought that his father was the tallest and most majestic man, and he admired his father.

But as he studied and grew older, Jin Yunting realized that his father and elders could also make mistakes.

"Father, the most important thing for the Jin family is to be upright."

His eyes were as penetrating as ever, and when the father and son looked at each other, it was Jin Ke who was defeated.

"Father, half of the Jin family has already boarded the prince's ship. The prince values ​​the Fang family. If we help the Fang family, we are helping the prince."

Jin Yunting continued.

Jin Ke sneered.

"Ting'er, even if we support the crown prince, we won't be fawning over him. This world is ruled by the aristocratic families and the royal family."

To put it bluntly, the Jin family secretly served the crown prince, but there were also children from other branches who sought jobs around other princes.

This is how aristocratic families have always done things. How could they only bet on one side?

"Father, please be careful with your words." Jin Yunting frowned. "Ever since the last emperor, the royal family has been suppressing the aristocratic families. If your words get out, won't they cause even more trouble?"

Jin Ke also knew that he should just think about the previous sentence in his mind, but if he really said it out loud, it would still bring trouble to himself.
