Zhan Yan raised his hand and threw a stone: "Watch your mouth. Who are you, my father?"
"Bang!" The stone hit the bandit leader's mouth and instantly broke his front teeth.
"Puff!" He spat out the foam mixed with blood.
He has failed this time, and there is no way back!
He clenched his fists tightly, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and muttered, "Just wait, my brothers on Taiyin will never give up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stabbed a sharp dagger into his abdomen.
Blood gushed out instantly and he fell to the ground with his head tilted back.
As for the staff who followed him, they could only commit suicide out of grief and anger.
Fang Qingshan spoke quickly: "Ah Yan, if they die in the Yin Mansion tonight, we will have a mortal enemy with the bandits of Taiyin Mountain!"
Zhan Yan, of course, understood this fact. He turned around and ordered, "Yinghun, lead the secret guards to defend the area surrounding the Yin Mansion. Report any disturbance immediately!"
"Yes!" Yinghun quickly took the order and left.
Fang Qingshan dealt with the body personally, while Lin Yiwan and Yin Yue went back to rest.
Yin Yue said as they walked along the road, "Wanwan, I keep feeling my eyelids twitching. I heard from the servants in the mansion this morning that the bandits in Taiyin Mountain are very powerful and ruthless. Once they set their sights on a family, they will definitely succeed. Wherever they go, no one will survive, not even a three-year-old child!"
Lin Yiwan soothed him softly, "Our mansion is heavily guarded, and Zhan Yan has brought a number of guards with him. Just put your mind at ease!"
Yin Yue lowered her eyes to look at her increasingly bulging belly and couldn't help but say, "Wanwan, I remember your belly wasn't this big even when you were pregnant with multiple babies. How come mine is like an upside-down basin, ridiculously large!"
Lin Yiwan reached out and touched it, and felt that the little guy inside was still moving around randomly according to her palm.
She laughed subconsciously: "This little guy is quite naughty!"
Yin Yue said, "He's a real show-off. If anyone touches him, he'll run after them. Especially at night, he keeps tossing and turning so much that I can't sleep!"
Lin Yiwan explained: "It's like this. In the later stages of pregnancy, it's basically impossible to get a good night's sleep. After all, being a mother for ten months is very hard!"
A hint of melancholy flashed across Yin Yue's eyes. She turned around and looked around, "I think when my mother was pregnant with me, she often walked back and forth in this Yin family garden, right? It's a pity that I will never be able to express my filial piety to her again in this lifetime!"
A trace of heartache flashed across Lin Yiwan's face. She held Yin Yue's cold fingers and comforted her: "Fortunately, you have recognized your grandmother. It's the same for you to be filial to her. After the matter in Shicheng is settled, you can take her to Beijing to enjoy a good life!"
Yin Yue nodded heavily: "Yes!"
When the two entered the house, they saw a maid hurriedly carrying in hot water.
She said respectfully, "Madam Hou, this is the hot water that Miss Ling'er asked me to prepare for you to bathe!"
Lin Yiwan frowned in confusion. She didn't say she wanted to take a bath.
However, since it has been delivered, let's put it aside for now.
She nodded: "You go down first, I don't need you to serve here!"
But the maid didn't leave. She said a little awkwardly, "Madam, I have to help you bathe. When you're done using this water, I'll have to move it out and throw it away!"
Lin Yiwan blinked her eyes. Does she still have to wash?
Yin Yue was a pregnant woman after all, and she felt some back pain after standing for a short time.
She yawned tiredly and said, "Wanwan, go wash up first. I'll take a nap on the couch. We have to go back into the mountains at dawn!"
After Su Lanqin entered the inner room, Lin Yiwan asked the maid to pour all the hot water into the bathtub.
She didn't untie her clothes immediately, but raised an eyebrow and looked at the maid: "How about you help me test the water temperature first?"
The maid didn't suspect anything and put her hands into the hot water.
Before he could say anything, he felt his feet suddenly leave the ground, and then he fell into the bathtub with a splash.
He wanted to stand up, but Lin Yiwan didn't give him a chance.
She put one hand on his neck and pushed him back hard.
"Gulp gurgle!" He drank a lot of hot water, and his nose and ears, which were already blocked from breathing, began to bleed.
Just when he was about to faint from suffocation, Lin Yiwan pulled him out of the water.
He opened his mouth and coughed violently, with a lot of blood flowing out from the corners of his mouth.
Lin Yiwan's cold voice rang in his ears: "Tell me, who are you? How dare you pretend to be a maid of the Yin family and ask me to take off my clothes and bathe? What is your intention?"
He argued forcefully: "Madam Hou, you misunderstood me. I am really a maid in the Yin Mansion!"
Lin Yiwan couldn't help but let out a sarcastic smile. "It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin. My favorite thing to do is to pry open other people's mouths!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed him back into the water.
He struggled violently, trying to escape from her grip.
However, even if he used all his strength, he could not reach her hand.
A desperate and suffocating feeling came over him, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted immediately.
Lin Yiwan pulled him out of the water and pricked him with a silver needle to wake him up.
He managed to utter a few words through gritted teeth: "I'll tell you everything. I sneaked into the Yin family with the village chief, but we went our separate ways. They were responsible for robbing, and I was responsible for stealing!"
Lin Yiwan asked in surprise, "Stealing the key to the forbidden area?"
"Yes!" The man nodded through gritted teeth.
Lin Yiwan was silent for a moment before she frowned and said, "The key to the forbidden area shouldn't be on the eldest daughter of the Yin family. Why did you choose to target me?"
The man raised the corner of his lip in mockery: "Your tricks may fool others, but they can't escape my sharp eyes. When we were in that yard before, I was hiding in the dark. I saw it clearly. They were all subconsciously protecting you!"
He paused and continued, "I'm a professional thief. I have a very keen sense of smell for what I want to get. I smell the key, and it's hidden on you!"
Lin Yiwan was shocked when she heard this. It turned out that there are always people better than you.
I thought that hiding the key on her would be safe.
However, he did not expect that the clues had already been discovered by someone with ulterior motives.
Fortunately, she was alert, otherwise she would have been robbed by this little thief.
He does have some skills!
Perhaps the little thief realized that Lin Yiwan was distracted, so he came to his senses and immediately ran out.
As soon as he opened the door, Zhan Yan kicked him back.
When the sharp sword was pressed against his throat, Lin Yiwan spoke at the right time: "Ah Yan, don't kill him yet!"
The little thief was so scared that he almost peed his pants. The feeling of surviving a disaster made him burst into tears.
He knelt and crawled to Lin Yiwan's feet and kowtowed: "Thank you, Madam Hou, for not killing me. From now on, I am yours. No matter if it means climbing a mountain of swords or jumping into a cauldron of oil, I will never hesitate!"
