She is emotionally stable and vicious, which doesn't seem like what a girl of her age should do.

Lin Lang had long been accustomed to Wen Qingzhi's methods. When she beat Li Jinsheng and others, she was much gentler now!

Now that all the thieves have been captured, their jaws have been removed to prevent them from biting their tongues to commit suicide, and they have been taken to the regent's dungeon.

When everything was settled, people from Zhentian Mansion arrived.

Xiao Yi led the way in and bowed to Feng Yunxiao first. "Zhentian Prefecture Governor Xiao Yi greets His Royal Highness the Regent! I am late in coming to your rescue, and I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"

"Ah,"

Feng Junxiao sneered, "Punishment?"

"Yes, it was my own slowness that caused the current situation and frightened the Regent. I deserve death!"

Xiao Yi knelt on the ground with his head lowered close to the ground.

"You deserve to die."

Feng Junxiao stared at the head on the ground, his voice cold, "But he didn't die because he couldn't get here in time."

Xiao Yi knelt on the ground, his eyes widened, and his breathing returned to normal. He said, "I am guilty, and I hope the Regent will convict me!"

"Convicted? Convicted of what?"

"This minister is guilty of neglecting his duties!"

The strong smell of alcohol on him made Wen Qingzhi frown, "Master Xiao must have encountered some troubles. It's the middle of the night and the air is filled with the smell of alcohol."

"Please forgive me, Miss Wen. I did encounter some troubles, so I got drunk and made mistakes tonight."

The Regent almost died tragically, but he tried to shirk responsibility by saying that he was drunk.

Ha ha……

"The regent who was assassinated wasn't me, so why should I be angry?"

Wen Qingzhi's lips curved slightly. "However, my mansion was also vandalized. Our already poor mansion is now even worse off... Many things are broken. I wonder... Sir Xiao, can you offer compensation?"

She pretended to be a little girl so as not to anger Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi has a noble family behind him, and she cannot touch him at the moment.

She and Xiao Yi had no grudges against each other, and they could be considered to have some affection for each other, so... she had no reason to have any grudges or estrangements with Xiao Yi.

After hearing this, Xiao Yi's tone softened. "Of course. This incident tonight was the fault of Zhentian Prefecture. We will compensate the Marquis' Mansion for its losses."

"It's good over there... But, with such a big thing happening tonight, I really can't sleep..."

She pretended to be scared and looked at Feng Junxiao, then turned her gaze to Xiao Yi, "There shouldn't be any more bad guys coming tonight, right?"

"Don't worry, Miss Wen. I will definitely guard it strictly."

"That's fine. Since there's nothing else to do, I'll go to sleep."

She glanced at Feng Junxiao and said, "I'm very tired tonight."

As for how they would deal with these things later, Wen Qingzhi didn't care.

No matter how they deal with it, it's their business. As long as it doesn't touch her bottom line, she won't care.

After returning to the house and letting Chunyu and the others out, Wen Qingzhi smiled when she saw their worried eyes.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"Woo, woo, I knew the girl would be fine!"

Chunyu came to Wen Qingzhi crying, her eyes were red and swollen like ripe peaches. She grabbed Wen Qingzhi's sleeve and cried loudly.

It was obvious that she was truly worried about Wen Qingzhi's well-being. She left happily at first, just to avoid being a burden to Wen Qingzhi.

"Look at you, everything is fine, why are you crying?"

Wen Qingzhi stroked her furry little head and said, "It's all right now. Zhentian Mansion has also promised that nothing will happen again."

"Okay, it's getting late, everyone should go back to bed."

She urged everyone to go down, "We still have to clean up the mess tomorrow."

"Also, Chunshuang, go see how Xiao Chang and Wang Yi are doing."

She had been so flustered just now that she hadn't paid attention to them. Now that she had some free time, she thought about how she hadn't seen them in the side yard just now, and she felt a little worried.

"Yes, slave, go right away."

"Let the old slave go."

Uncle Wang volunteered, "Chun Shuang is a little girl, she was just frightened. I guess it's not nice outside right now. I'll go and avoid scaring her."

"it is good."

Wen Qingzhi agreed, "No matter whether you live or die, come and tell me."

"Yes."

"Slave, servant, take your leave."

After everyone left, Wen Qingzhi returned to the bedside, but couldn't find anyone.

Looking at the messy house, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

It was already late, and everyone was frightened. It would be inhumane to ask them to clean up afterward...

unreasonable……

When did she become more humane?

She smiled helplessly, as if she thought this was not a bad idea.

She leaned against the bed and sat quietly all night until the sky turned white, then she gradually fell asleep.

Chunyu, who came to pay his respects in the morning, saw that she was still sleeping, so he didn't have the heart to wake her up. But he was afraid that she was tired, so he helped her lie down.

The moment Chunyu touched Wen Qingzhi, Wen Qingzhi opened her eyes and her vicious gaze fell on her.

Seeing that it was Chunyu, she breathed a sigh of relief and her eyes softened.

"Girl, lie down and sleep."

Wen Qingzhi hummed and slowly fell asleep.

After she came out, she saw Wang Yi and Chang Baicao standing guard outside the door and said, "The girl is still sleeping, so don't disturb her."

"well……"

Chang Baicao and Wang Yi were not in the marquis's mansion last night, but in a small mountain village, so they escaped the disaster.

After Butler Wang came to report that the two were not at home, Wen Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and then felt sleepy.

Chang Baicao and the others looked at the mess on the ground and couldn't help but feel angry. "It only took one night, and it turned into such a scene..."

"Who the hell is this? If I find out, I will poison his entire family!"

In Chang Baicao's mind, there is no such thing as one person doing something alone, and everyone is held responsible.

"Who is Chunyu?"

Chang Baicao was so angry that his beard was puffing up.

Chunyu shook her head and told the truth, "I don't know who is behind this, but they are targeting the Prince Regent. Our mansion has been implicated."

When I said "being implicated", there was a little reluctance and a great sense of grievance.

"If he hadn't lived here with us, our mansion wouldn't be like this..."

She muttered in a voice as small as a mosquito.

While he was speaking, he was looking around and only spoke when he didn't see anyone suspicious.

Upon learning that it was the Regent's fault, Chang Baicao instantly became more enthusiastic. "Just wait, I'll go ask!"

He hurried to the side courtyard where Feng Junxiao was, and when he arrived, there was a large group of people guarding it.

Chang Baicao was a frequent visitor to the Regent's Palace, and with Zhang Ye and Lin Lang present, no one stopped him.

"How was the Regent last night when I was away?"

Lin Lang said, "It's okay, it's just a wound that has broken open. There's an imperial physician watching over it."

As soon as they entered the room, they heard the person inside getting angry. "You useless thing, you can't even sew up a wound?"
