The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Xiao Yushan, who was sitting on the bed, saw the man in black taking off his mask. He took a closer look and found that it was his good disciple.

He hadn't seen his disciple for a long time, and his good disciple actually came to Baidi City to find him in person. Xiao Yushan was so excited that he didn't even bother to put on his coat. He simply draped it over his shoulders and got out of bed.

"My dear disciple, please sit down. Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? I'll have someone bring some tea and snacks!"

After saying that, he stood up and was about to go out to make arrangements, but was stopped by someone.

Qiao Xi exerted force on her hands, pulled Xiao Yushan to sit on the chair, and hurriedly told him the reason why she came there.

When Xiao Yushan heard that someone had abused his power for personal gain and detained many candidates who came to Baidi City to take the imperial examination, he angrily slammed the table and stood up.

"Outrageous! Outrageous! I must tell this to Mr. Shen and have him investigate thoroughly to find out who is so bold as to arrest my beloved disciple and her brother-in-law.

Also, I think Shen Qingyan doesn't need to be an official anymore. He didn't even know about such a big thing happening in Baidi City.

Also, dear disciple, persuade Xu Yi not to accept Shen Qingyan as his master. If he can't even protect his own disciple, what kind of master is he..."

When Qiao Xi heard this, she saw that Xiao Yushan had no intention of stopping, so she hurriedly interrupted him with a urgency:

"Master, this is an urgent matter. If you have anything to say, we can talk on the way. It would be better for us to go find Master Shen first."

"Yes, yes, yes. Look at me, Master. I'm busy talking to you. I'll go change my clothes now. My dear disciple, please wait for me outside the door for a while."

Qiao Xi nodded and left Xiao Yushan's room.

In less than a cup of tea, Xiao Yushan was dressed neatly and came to Qiao Xi, asking her to follow him.

Just as they were about to reach the gate of the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Yushan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

He pointed to the ground and asked in an incredible tone:

"My dear disciple, did you do this?"

Qiao Xi glanced at the three people lying on the ground and said calmly:

"Oh, yes. I wanted to go find you, but they wouldn't let me. They told me to walk over their dead bodies.

I don't have a habit of stepping on corpses, so I just drugged them.

But don't worry, Master. In about two hours, the poison will wear off naturally."

As soon as Xiao Yushan heard the word "medicine", he became interested instantly.

He no longer cared about the three people lying on the ground, and pulled Qiao Xi along, asking questions all the way.

It wasn't until Qiao Xi took out a few small porcelain bottles from her arms and threw them to Xiao Yushan that she finally stopped having to listen to his nagging.

While carefully sniffing the medicine in the small porcelain bottle, Xiao Yushan asked about the making of the pills and what medicinal materials were used.

Before they knew it, they arrived at the gate of a mansion.

Although Qiao Qian had been listening to Xiao Yushan's words, she had also been paying attention to which road she took when she left the Xiao Mansion and how long it took her to walk. She had roughly estimated the distance between the Xiao Mansion and Shen Qingyan's residence.

I didn’t expect that the Xiao Mansion and the Shen Mansion were so close to each other.

There are many large mansions nearby. I think the people who live here are similar to those in the Xiao and Shen mansions, either rich or noble.

With Xiao Yushan as her "sign", Qiao Xi entered the Shen Mansion as easily as entering her own home.

I think it must be someone from the Shen Mansion who went to inform Shen Qingyan. When they arrived at Shen Qingyan's yard, there were already flickering candles waiting for them.

Because Shen Qingyan was Xu Yi's master, out of courtesy, she bowed and greeted Shen Qingyan, and then handed over the sign he had given to Xu Yi before.

After Shen Qingyan took the sign and asked Qiao Xi why she appeared in Baidi City and the reason for her coming to Baidi City, he roughly understood the importance and impact of the matter.

Shen Qingyan's reaction was much faster than Xiao Yushan's. While instructing Kuzhu to send Qiao Xi back first, he called Shen Liuguang to follow him into the study.

As for Xiao Yushan, he had no time to deal with him at all.

Although Xiao Yushan usually went against his friends, he knew the seriousness of the matter today, so when he found out that his friends had no time to pay attention to him, he was not angry.

He asked the servant to order a pot of tea, and while drinking the tea, he sat opposite Shen Qingyan's desk and watched him deal with the matter.

With Kuzhu's help, Qiao Xi easily returned to the cell where she was previously imprisoned before dawn.

……

The afternoon of the second day.

"Girl, you can leave now."

Josie didn't want to lie in the weeds or sit on the dirty cell floor.

Neither lying down nor sitting, the only option left is standing.

She stood there from dawn to afternoon.

Her feet hurt so much that they almost didn't belong to her.

She was really surprised to hear the jailer who had detained him yesterday say that she could leave.

She thought she would have to wait two days before going out, but she didn't expect Shen Qingyan to be so efficient.

"Brother, have the others been released as well?"

"That's not true. You're really lucky, girl. You got out right after you came in. And the person who came with you is also lucky.

I believe that I will be able to get good results in this final exam by taking the girl's test.

But who on earth could have brought down a second-rank official of the Dou family overnight?

I think the Dou family is finished now."

The jailer muttered something to the old lock while he unlocked it for Qiao Xi.

"Serves him right! I think this second-rank official brought this upon himself. He actually arrested so many candidates for his own selfish gain."

"That's true. Girl, is that the person you're looking for?"

When Qiao Qian heard this, she hurriedly looked up and saw the familiar Xu Yi and Han Yun'an, as well as Wang Canglang and two coachmen.

The jailer introduced them to each other and then turned around to go about his business.

"Did anything happen last night?"

Xu Yi, Han Yun'an and Wang Canglang looked Qiao Xi from head to toe, and back again, back and forth several times, and finally confirmed that Qiao Xi was safe and sound.

"Nothing happened. Let's go and talk while we walk."

With that, Qiao Xi led them to find their carriage.

This time, two coachmen rode in one carriage, and Qiao Xi, Xu Yi, Han Yun'an, and Wang Canglang rode in another carriage.

Although it was a bit crowded, no one wanted to leave.

In the carriage, Qiao Xi told the people inside what happened last night.

Fortunately, the three people in the car had experienced many major events, so when they heard that Qiao Xi was going to break into the Xiao Mansion alone, they were very worried for her. Fortunately, she succeeded without any danger.

In order to learn more, Xu Yi and his group took a carriage straight to Shen Qingyan's home.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of Shen's residence, someone came up and lifted the door curtain.

"My master invites you, please follow me."

Xu Yi and Qiao Xi knew the person in front of them, so when they heard him ask them to come in, they had no doubts.

On the contrary, Han Yun'an and Wang Canglang were obviously stunned for a moment. When they saw Xu Yi and Qiao Qian walked in without any hesitation, they took a deep breath and followed.

They never expected that as soon as they entered the Shen family's gate, they would run into Xiao Yushan who was walking out.

When he saw Qiao Xi, he immediately smiled happily: "Good disciple, let's go back to the Xiao Mansion with your master."

"What about Xu Yi?"

Qiao Xi asked subconsciously.
