When the carriage was about to reach the winery, it suddenly jolted.

Then came Xiao Qi's panicked voice: "Madam, why don't you look at the road?"

"I didn't hit you."

Chen Lang lifted the carriage curtain and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Qi said, "Sir, this lady suddenly jumped out of the alley, and I couldn't even pull the reins to her..."

Chen Lang looked forward and saw a middle-aged woman in plain clothes sitting on the ground, rubbing her ankle.

Chen Lang hurriedly jumped out of the car, walked forward and said, "Madam, let me take you to the clinic."

The middle-aged woman raised her head and Chen Lang was stunned for a moment.

Because this middle-aged woman is extremely beautiful.

The middle-aged woman smiled gently and said, "Young man, I'm fine."

"Can you help me up?"

Her voice was also very soft, like a gurgling spring, refreshing to the heart.

Chen Lang carefully helped the other person up and said, "Madam, let's go to the clinic."

The middle-aged woman shook her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chen Lang's face. The soft light in her eyes seemed to contain thousands of words that could not be expressed.

"Young man, what's your name?" asked the middle-aged woman.

Chen Lang said, "My surname is Chen, and my given name is Lang."

"You look about 70% like my deceased brother." The middle-aged woman's voice trembled a little as she asked, "Can you call me sister?"

In fact, this request was very abrupt. After all, the two parties had just met, and Chen Lang's carriage hit her.

As a result, the woman did not ask for compensation, nor did she go to the clinic. She just asked Chen Lang to call her sister.

Either it's a honey trap or he's crazy.

But for some reason, Chen Lang also had an indescribable sense of closeness to this woman, and he called out "sister" without any hindrance.

Hearing Chen Lang calling her sister, tears even appeared in the woman's eyes. She raised her head and gently stroked Chen Lang's cheek: "Brother..."

This voice was so tender and touching that it made Chen Lang's heart wrench, as if the person in front of him was really his long-lost sister.

"Can you have a drink with me?" asked the middle-aged woman.

Chen Lang nodded.

The two of them randomly found a tavern on the street, and before the drinks were even served, they were already chatting animatedly.

The middle-aged woman said her surname was Li and her given name was Qing.

Chen Lang called her "Sister Qing".

When chatting, it was mostly Chen Lang who talked and Li Qing listened quietly.

Before I knew it, I had been chatting for more than two hours.

Li Qing glanced outside and said, "Brother, it's getting late. I should go home."

Chen Lang quickly apologized, saying, "Sister, I'm sorry. I was so carried away that I didn't pay attention to the time."

Li Qing smiled gently and said, "It's okay. I like what you say."

Chen Lang asked, "Where does your sister live? I'll take you back."

Li Qing shook her head: "No need, sister can go back by herself."

Chen Lang continued, "Can you tell me exactly where it is? I'll bring my wife and daughter to visit you later."

Li Qing still shook her head: "Brother, when fate has arrived, we will meet."

“When fate is over, even for a moment or a breath, God will not give you more.”

"I am already very satisfied to see you today."

Chen Lang was puzzled and asked, "Why? Sister, are you going to leave Linshui?"

Li Qing didn't answer the question, but instead said, "Brother, don't worry about your wine shop being closed."

"It will be resolved soon."

Chen Lang said: "Sister, I am not anxious, because I know that evil cannot prevail over good."

Li Qing patted Chen Lang's head and said, "What a good boy."

"You go first, sister will sit for a while."

Chen Lang stood up and bowed: "Take care, sister."

After saying this, he left reluctantly.

After Chen Lang left the tavern, Li Qing went up to the second floor of the tavern and then climbed out of the window.

If Chen Lang saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked.

A middle-aged woman in her forties is so agile!

It was already dark, and Chen Lang had no plans to go to the winery, so he asked Xiao Qi to go home.

Xiao Qi couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Master, how come you get along so well with someone you just met?"

Chen Lang, who was inside the carriage, rubbed his temples and thought for a long time before saying, "It's indeed a bit strange. I don't know why."

"Anyway, when I look at her, I feel close to her."

"I even suspected for a moment that she was my sister."

"But according to Old Man Chen, my mother only gave birth to me."

Xiao Qi said, "Maybe it was the old lady's previous child?"

Chen Lang sighed: "Impossible, if she is really my sister, then we must at least look alike in some way, right?"

"But I'm nothing like her."

Xiao Qi frowned and recalled Li Qing's appearance. It was just as the young master said, the two of them had no similarities at all.

Chen Lang leaned against the cushion and said with emotion: "The fate between people is really hard to explain."

"Some people hit it off right away, while others feel like strangers even after living together for decades."

"Sister Qing and I belong to the former."

"I don't know if I'll be able to see you again in the future."

Xiao Qi said, "Master, leave this matter to me. I will definitely find out the lady's address for you."

Chen Lang said, "There's no need to do this. Since Sister Qing doesn't want to talk about it, there's no need for me to disturb her life."

"Let's just leave everything to fate."

……

Late at night, at the Duke's Mansion.

An uninvited guest came to the side courtyard where Feng Chaoying lived.

This person was wearing a nightgown and was moving quickly along the courtyard wall. After arriving at the outside of Feng Chaoying's main house, he tiptoed and flew onto the roof like a giant night owl.

He tiptoed to the center of the roof, carefully lifted a tile, and bent over to look inside the house.

Inside the room, Feng Chaoying was washing her feet with the help of a maid.

The uninvited guest was in a position where he could see Feng Chaoying's face.

After seeing it clearly, the man's eyes widened suddenly and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Telling this news to the captain will bring you a lifetime of wealth and glory.

The man put the tile back in its place and jumped out of the yard.

After safely leaving the Duke's Mansion, the man was about to run at full speed when he discovered that a person appeared in front of him.

The other person was also wearing night clothes, but judging from her figure, she was a woman.

The man frowned, because there were no women among his colleagues.

Just as he was about to give a secret signal to test the other party's identity, the woman opposite rushed over.

Before this person could react, he felt a chill on his neck.

"So fast……"

He immediately fell to the ground and died.

The woman picked up the man's body and threw it directly back to the Duke's Mansion, then shouted.

"There are assassins!"

In a few moments, the pitch-black Duke's Mansion became brightly lit.

When Pei Ming arrived and saw the body on the ground, his face instantly turned pale. "What happened?"

The subordinates looked at each other in confusion. Finally, the adjutant said with a brave face: "General, he was lying on the ground when we arrived."

Pei Ming became increasingly angry: "So, you guys didn't even know there was a thief in the house?"

The adjutant bowed and said, "Please forgive me, General!"

"Brothers have been busy patrolling lately and have been a bit slack."

"All the blame lies with me. If you want to punish anyone, please punish me alone!"

The soldiers around also apologized.

Pei Ming closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said, "Okay, everyone get up."

"Come to think of it, I was also wrong."

"This matter has been put to rest, but we must be more cautious in the future and not let thieves take advantage of this loophole."

After saying this, he squatted down to examine the body and asked, "Is there anything that can prove your identity?"

The adjutant shook his head: "We've checked everything, nothing."

Pei Ming's gaze fell on the wound on the man's neck, and his eyes instantly became stern.

"What a quick technique."

The adjutant said, "General, why did the man who killed this man throw his body into the yard?"

"Is he demonstrating to us?"

Pei Ming slowly stood up and said, "No matter what his purpose is, I only know that Madam cannot stay in the mansion any longer."

"Tomorrow, when the city gates are opened, mix your wife among the soldiers and secretly send her out of the city."

The adjutant said, "I obey your orders!"
