Aunt Du had already seen through their identities. The tokens on their waists belonged to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was a god-like existence in the entire Chen Country.
Even if Old Master came personally, he would still let them in in the end.
It was just that the Duke of Song Residence had just finished their wedding, and now this had happened. It was simply a good show.
Aunt Du wanted to see how Mei'e had just married into the Duke of Song's Mansion and had already caused such a big commotion. Would the Matriarch accuse Mei'e of being a jinx?
"Aunt Du, you're going too far. No matter what, Eldest Young Miss is still the Eldest Young Miss of our Duke of Song Residence, and is Old Master's biological daughter. He was one of the best generals. A woman's reputation and integrity are the most important. What are your intentions for letting a few men into the young miss's boudoir?”Haitang was suddenly furious, completely unafraid of Aunt Du's power.
Aunt Du shook her head and whispered,""That's not what I meant. It's just that for everyone's safety, it's better to let them go in and take a look. We're all outside accompanying them. What can these people do that goes beyond etiquette?”
"Aunt Du's words are easy to say. Eldest Young Miss is the flesh of Old Master's heart. If anyone dared to harm a single hair on the young miss, the old master would definitely not let them off. Moreover, in the middle of the night, a group of unidentified men barged into our residence, and we, as servants, let them search as they please. What kind of place do you think our Duke of Song Residence is? Is it the vegetable market at the corner of the street?" Haitang's few words stopped Aunt Du from speaking.
Aunt Du didn't say anything else, but just focused on watching the show.
"Let me tell you, no matter who you are. If you dare to barge into our young miss's room today, I'll make sure you don't suffer.”Haitang's eyes widened in anger. The men in black felt that this woman was a character.
"We're from the Secret Pavilion. Hurry up and open the door for me. Otherwise, you'll be the ones who won't be able to bear the consequences.”The leader of the men in black shouted loudly, scaring everyone.
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was an organization in the imperial court that directly obeyed His Majesty. If they wanted to search for people, even Old Master would probably not be able to stop them.
Just now, the servants were still eyeing the black-clothed man covetously. However, after the few of them introduced themselves, everyone subconsciously retreated, not wanting to get involved in this muddy water.
Aunt Du smiled happily, but she just wanted to see how Ji Chengjun would be able to get help from God.
The black-clothed man in the secret compartment heard the commotion outside and gripped the sword in his hand tightly. At most, he would fight them to the death. He was a man, and he would never implicate a woman.
Just as everyone was arguing, Ji Chengjun's door creaked open. It was dark inside, and nothing could be seen.
Seeing this, everyone stood outside with torches in their hands, not daring to approach. It was unknown whether they were afraid of Ji Chengjun or the person they were chasing.
Granny Li was the first to walk out. She stood at the side with her head lowered, looking flustered.
"Where's your Miss? Ask her to come out and see me." When the leader of the men in black saw that someone had finally come out, he immediately resumed his arrogant appearance after a long silence.
"Who is looking for me?" Ji Chengjun stretched his back and walked out of the room lazily.
She did not put on any makeup, and her hair flowed down. Although she was woken up, her clothes were slightly messy, but there was no sign of impoliteness. In the courtyard, this cute little person seemed to have stepped on the moon. She blinked her big, glass-like eyes and looked at everyone in confusion.
How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world? Was she really the eldest daughter of the Duke of Song's estate?
There had always been rumors in the court that there was a domineering daughter of a general in the Duke of Song's estate. She was thirteen years old and had yet to marry. This woman's heroic spirit soared to the sky, and she was also the target of the Imperial Court and even the descendants of the Imperial Family. Now that they had seen her with their own eyes, everyone was secretly amazed. This woman should only exist in the sky.
When the leader of the men in black saw the beauty, his expression softened. He took a step forward and cupped his fists."Young miss, did you see any suspicious people come in? This person is vicious and cunning, I hope Miss will be careful. For the safety of the young miss, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you. One was to return and report on his mission, and the other was to give Sir Ji an explanation.”
"Explanation? You're a member of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, and you take orders from Xia Muyan. When did you ever give my father an explanation? Who is my father? In your eyes, he's just a little Duke Song, nothing compared to your master.”Ji Chengjun's words silenced the black man.
Hearing her say this, the leader was stunned for a moment. Not many people knew that the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets belonged to Xia Muyan, but in the end, it was said by a little girl. They couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. Moreover, there was another layer of relationship.
Xia Muyan treated Ji Xunyuan as a general who was going to teach him a lesson. It was not justifiable for him to send people to search the general's house on the night the general took a concubine.
"I'm asking you a question! Who are you looking for?" Ji Chengjun saw that the man was hesitating and opened his mouth again to pull the leader of the men in black back to reality.
"Miss, we are looking for a fugitive. This person was extremely vicious and had already killed several women. He has a blood debt on him and is wanted by our Imperial Court. When we fought with him, we injured him. That's why we chased after the blood all the way here. We didn't expect the blood to disappear in front of the door of the young miss's courtyard. That's why we dared to come in and disturb the young miss's dream. We're really sorry.”The leader of the men in black changed his tone and spoke to Ji Chengjun politely.
"Then you can come in and search. But I have to say this first. If you can't find it, I will tell Xia Muyan about what happened today tomorrow. Our Duke Song Residence is not to be trifled with. Today is my father's wedding day. In the morning, your Sixth Prince brought a gift to congratulate my father on marrying Aunt Mei'e. In the evening, you sent someone to search my room. I want to see how your Sixth Prince will explain it to me.”Ji Chengjun actually opened the door and let them in.
"Young miss, that's not what we meant. For the sake of the imperial court…please make an exception. If we can't find her, we'll naturally come and apologize to Miss!”The leader of the men in black hesitated for a moment, but he still prioritized the mission.
"I don't need you guys. I want to ask Xia Muyan how he's prepared to compensate for this crime. It's true that you're the ones who caused this trouble, and it's also true that your master is him. I don't believe that he didn't give the order!”Ji Chengjun's eyes widened in anger. He looked at the man in black without any fear.
"Young miss, if you insist, we have nothing to say. If he couldn't find this person, he would definitely apologize to the young miss. However, if we were to find that thief in Eldest Young Miss 'room, even Eldest Young Miss would have to follow us to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.”The black-clothed man's expression changed drastically. He waved his hand lightly and let a few of his subordinates rush in.
Ji Chengjun just stood outside the door without saying a word.
