The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Faced with Li Jing's question, Li Jun didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.

Li Jing decided to take the thieves back for interrogation and did not stay at Hantai Temple any longer.

"Your Highness."

Liang Ruoyan appeared behind Li Jun at some point, and Li Jun's expression softened slightly when she saw her.

"Why are you here? Is your sister feeling any better?"

Liang Ruoyan felt bitter. She had only said one sentence when Liang Ruoxue was mentioned. Although she knew that Li Jun was just asking politely, she still felt uncomfortable.

"The doctor is still inside, and I don't know what's going on. Today's situation is really dangerous, and I'm really scared."

She moved closer to Li Jun, revealing a pitiful appearance.

Normally, Li Jun would not have been able to bear seeing her with such an expression, and would have coaxed her gently.

Li Jun was preoccupied with her own thoughts and simply replied perfunctorily, "If you're not feeling well, I'll have someone send you back first."

"No need, I'll go with my mother later."

Liang Ruoyan left dejectedly, knowing that Li Jun didn't really want to talk to her anymore.

Back beside Xu Ying, Liang Ruoyan glanced at the room where Liang Ruoxue was staying, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.

Liang Ruochu watched from the side, taking in Liang Ruoyan's gaze.

The rain was still falling. Miao Cui found some clothes for Shen Hanyu, and she had just changed when Pei Du appeared.

Seeing that no one was outside, Shen Hanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for what you did earlier, Young Master Pei."

Shen Hanyu pulled her coat tighter, her expression still somewhat unpleasant.

Pei Du nodded and asked directly, "Did any of the men who were chasing you say anything strange?"

Because this matter was too suspicious, Pei Du thought of asking Shen Hanyu about it.

Shen Hanyu was taken aback. She sat down and slowly recalled what those people had said.

"I overheard someone say that if I got away, it would be hard to explain myself, something like that."

Shen Hanyu confirmed that she hadn't misheard, and that few people knew she had gone to the side room to rest. At the time, only she and Miaocui were in the backyard. Now that she thought about it, it felt more like it was a targeted attack against her.

"It's a bit like hiring someone to kill me, and the person who was killed is me."

Thinking this, Shen Hanyu spoke up.

Pei Du nodded: "There are suspicious points in this matter. There are too many strange things. I have now handed the matter over to His Highness the Crown Prince. I hope that the real culprit can be found out."

Hearing "Your Highness the Crown Prince," Shen Hanyu felt somewhat relieved. After all, His Highness the Crown Prince was still reliable.

"By the way, Young Master Pei, could you help me find someone?"

Pei Du said yes.

“When I went to the backyard, I met a bald, blind monk. He warned me that there would be bloodshed that day and told me to turn back before it was too late. I want to find this person and ask him.”

She didn't see the monk when she came back, so she asked Pei Du to help her look for him.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out. If I find him, I'll have him come to see you."

This monk might know something.

Pei Du left in a hurry, and Miao Cui put down a basin of water.

“This Young Master Pei always gives us a fright whenever he comes.”

Shen Hanyu washed her face. "It's never good for people to see me seeing him in private."

Miao Cui nodded and removed the grass clippings from Shen Hanyu's head.

After a while, Shen Hanyu finally felt a bit cleaner. She went outside, and Liang Ruoxue next door brought out basins of bloody water, which looked quite frightening.

Lin Lihua's face was filled with worry. Liang Ruochu tried to comfort her, but she pushed her aside.

When Shen Hanyu came out, the old lady nodded and her expression became more amiable.

Shen Hanyu's shoulder hurt, so she sat down next to him.

The rain is expected to continue for a while, and we don't know what Liang Ruoxue's situation is right now, so we have to wait until things get better before we can leave.

“Mother-in-law, why don’t you go back first? I’ll stay here and keep watch.”

Xu Ying took the initiative to speak, saying that the old lady's health was not very good, and it was not a good idea for her to stay here indefinitely.

The old lady didn't insist, saying she would leave when the rain subsided a bit.

Xu Ying and Lin Lihua stayed behind. She asked the other younger relatives, and Liang Sihan, who had been too scared to speak, quickly said that she would leave with the old lady.

Liang Siyu didn't come back. Shen Hanyu looked up and saw Liang Siyu and Qi Jiaying standing under the corridor talking.

"Yan'er, you should go back with Grandma."

Seeing Liang Ruoyan's absent-minded appearance, Xu Ying told Liang Ruoyan to go back.

Liang Ruoyan's lips moved, but she was indeed very anxious about Liang Ruoxue's matter today, so she did not refute Xu Ying.

Liang Ruochu naturally went back with them, and Shen Hanyu had no intention of staying there any longer.

Lin Lihua muttered to herself, "They usually call us 'sister' and 'little sister,' but now that it's here, not one of them is willing to stay."

The old lady glared at her, and Lin Lihua immediately fell silent.

This spring rain was rather unfortunate; several carriages stopped at the temple gate, and Liang Chengli came over with an umbrella.

"Auntie."

Liang Chengli walked to the old lady's side.

"Everything has been taken care of, Mother, you should go back now. It's getting cold."

When Lin Lihua saw Liang Chengli arrive, she stood up and grabbed him, saying, "Xue'er still hasn't woken up, what are we going to do?"

Liang Chengli patted her hand, "Don't worry, I've found a lot of doctors, and I'll make sure Xue'er is alright. Xue'er, you can get treatment in this room first. I'll stay here with you."

Lin Lihua finally breathed a sigh of relief. With someone to rely on, she was no longer so anxious.

Liang Chengli's carriage took the others back, and Liang Siyu said goodbye to Qi Jiaying.

Qi Jiaying looked at him with a smile.

"I did have a brief chat with Miss Shen earlier."

Liang Siyu didn't know why Qi Jiaying brought this up, and thought that Qi Jiaying had heard some rumors again.

"Don't take those words from outside to heart. Miss Qi, you can ask me anything."

Qi Jiaying covered her lips with a handkerchief: "I now understand you to some extent, but unfortunately, you can't protect Miss Shen."

It is said that those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. Qi Jiaying, not wanting to get involved in this marriage, naturally conducted a thorough investigation.

She believed that Liang Siyu could handle the budding feelings, but she didn't want his thoughts to ruin the three of them, so she gave him a reminder.

Liang Siyu's throat bobbed, but she didn't utter a single word.

Meeting Qi Jiaying's gaze, Liang Siyu bowed and said, "I've learned a lot."

"It's good that you can understand; I believe you."

Qi Jiaying turned and left, feeling much relieved.

Shen Hanyu got into the carriage and was drowsy the whole way. When she finally got back to the mansion, Liang Fangrong came to greet her.

She had already heard about what happened at Hantai Temple, and forced herself to get up despite her illness.

"They're finally back! I was so worried about them."

Liang Fangrong sighed, and seeing that Shen Hanyu was unharmed, her heart finally settled down.

She reached out her hand but was startled.

"Why is it so hot?"

Miao Cui touched her forehead.

"She has developed a high fever."

"Quickly call the imperial physician." Liang Fangrong instructed Jian Xia to go find someone.
