Ji Chengjun ignored him and continued to bandage his wound.
After the bleeding finally stopped, Ji Chengjun sat on the ground, unable to move.
"Thank you for saving my life, miss. I will repay you.”The man in black staggered up and wanted to rush out.
"Where are you going? You are covered in blood. If you walk on the streets of the Duke of Song Residence, you will be arrested as an assassin. Tonight, you will sleep…in the closet. I will send you out of the residence before dawn tomorrow.”Ji Chengjun had an idea and found a suitable place for her man.
"Even if I don't go out, they'll come in and search me." The man smiled bitterly.”
Ji Chengjun looked at the man in shock, unable to believe his words."How is this possible? This is the Duke of Song's Mansion. I want to see who in Chen Country is so bold as to bring people to search the mansion?”
"Hahaha! The young lady had placed too much importance on the Duke of Song Residence. Those people were the royal family's trusted aides, and they were from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.”the man said slowly.
When Ji Chengjun heard this, he could not help but sit up straight.
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, wasn't this Xia Muyan's minion? Why did Xia Muyan's men want to kill the man in black? Could it be…
Ji Chengjun did not dare to continue thinking about it.
"Don't worry, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. With me around, I will definitely not let you be in any danger. Go in!" Ji Chengjun opened the closet and found a hidden compartment inside.
As expected of a wealthy family, they were really thoughtful…
The night was as cold as water.
Since Ji Chengjun had already promised the black-robed man that she would protect him, she would not go back on her word.
"Open the door! Hurry up and open the door!" Noisy voices came from the main door of the mansion.
A few servants who were on night duty rubbed their sleepy eyes and went out in their cotton-padded jackets.
As soon as the door was opened, a group of people filed in.
"I saw it all. It ran this way.”a skinny man said.
"It's here. I saw it too. That person was injured. If they could find traces of blood in the residence, they could capture the thief in one fell swoop.”The leading man in black smiled faintly, as if he had a plan in mind.
The servant at the door did not know who it was. He frowned and asked,"Who are you people? How dare you behave atrociously in the Duke Song Residence? I think you're tired of living!”
When the men in black saw that a small guard dog dared to talk to them like this, they kicked the servant to the ground.
"Stop talking nonsense!" The leader glared at the servant and hurried inside.
A few men in black followed the trail of blood and arrived outside Ji Chengjun's courtyard.
"Big brother, I think this person is here. The blood trail was broken here, so he couldn't escape.”Shou Hou laughed sinisterly. He was already certain that the black-robed man was right in front of them. They could take him down in the blink of an eye.
"Go in and search!" The few of them lit the torches, and the flames soared into the sky.
Ji Chengjun was startled by the sudden lighting of the torch. She had already cleaned up all the bloodstains in the room and used the candle to burn the towel that was stained with blood when she applied the medicine to the man in black. She did not say anything and lay quietly on the bed.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The sound of knocking on the door woke Granny Li up first.
She only frowned slightly and walked forward quickly. Then, she asked in a low voice,"Who is outside? What brings you here?"
"Stop wasting time and open the door. The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets is handling a case.”Skinny Monkey shouted loudly, scaring Granny Li so much that her legs trembled non-stop.
The people in the Matriarch's courtyard also noticed the flames that shot into the sky. They thought that the Eldest Miss's room was on fire, so everyone ran towards Ji Chengjun's courtyard in disheveled clothes.
Haitang was at the front. She staggered and fell heavily. Blood was flowing from her knees, but how could she care about this? She ran straight to Ji Chengjun's courtyard.
When they reached the place, Haitang took a closer look and realized that there were more than a dozen men in black gathered here. Their faces were fierce, and they seemed to be coming for Ji Chengjun. In the Duke of Song Mansion, other than Aunt Du, no one else dared to be so arrogant in the Eldest Miss 'courtyard.
"Someone come! Someone is killing someone!" Haitang's scream resounded through the clouds, and all the servants were drawn here.
Everyone held torches and surrounded Ji Chengjun's courtyard. The men in black, however, did not seem to care at all. They had an elusive smile on their faces.
"Who exactly are you? Who sent you here? If you dare to take another step forward, we will definitely take your dog lives.”Haitang's clothes were in a mess, but her eyes were firm. She really did have that kind of posture.
"It is indeed as the legends say. The women of the Duke of Song Residence are all beautiful and have the beauty to topple a country. Now that he saw it, it really lived up to its reputation. If a little girl like you is already so beautiful, the young miss inside must be even more beautiful.”The leader of the men in black smiled and revealed a wretched expression.
Haitang frowned slightly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed past her eyes. After all, she was an unmarried girl. She was still a little angry to be teased like this.
At this moment, Aunt Du and Granny Wang also came out to watch the show.
She did not expect Ji Chengjun to not leave her house all day and even form a feud with someone. Ji Chengjun's enemies had actually come knocking on the door on the joyous day of the Duke of Song's estate. How could Aunt Du miss such a good show?
"How dare you intrude into our Song Kingdom's princess and cause trouble. I think you don't want to live anymore! The person living inside is the eldest daughter, Ji Chengjun. If you dare to harm my daughter, I'll fight you to the death.”Aunt Du said softly, but her imposing manner was much less than Haitang's.。
Haitang had no time to pay attention to the eccentric Aunt Du. She only looked at the men in black and refused to let them go.
"We're not here to look for the Young Miss of the Duke of Song Mansion. The person we're looking for might be inside. If we can't find him, we'll leave.”The leader of the men in black spoke in a loud tone, as if he did not put the Duke of Song Residence in his eyes. He did not even mention Ji Xunyuan.
Ji Xunyuan was also a well-known figure in the Imperial Court. He held great power in his hands, and even the current Emperor had to respect him.
However, it was the first time that a few strangers had come to the Duke Song Residence and wanted to search the residence with great fanfare.
"What do you think this place is? We are Duke Song's family. Take down this thief!”Haitang acted like a mistress and ordered everyone to take action.
However, Aunt Du laughed softly at the side and broke the somber atmosphere."I was wondering who it was. If it's the one from the Snow Song Garden, I won't say anything. At least she served the master. But you…are just a little servant girl by the Matriarch's side. What qualifications do you have to command everyone? Since they wanted to search, they could go in and search. If they couldn't find anyone, they would naturally leave. They didn't want to make a big deal out of it.”
