He had barely left the room when Yun Jinnian spoke up indifferently, "Is the injury serious?"
"Don’t know!"
Bai Que replied.
Yun Jinnian took asured steps forward, "Let take a look at him."
"Miss, what if he’s a bad person?"
"Bad person or good, at this mont he’s just an injured soul hanging by a thread. How could I stand by and watch him die!" Yun Jinnian said this and had Hei bring over an oil lamp to illuminate the surroundings so she could clearly see his face and his injuries.
"Save , save !"
The voice was soft, carrying a suppressed pain, yet it sounded pleasant.
He was quite handso, and even though he was in pain and his brows were furrowed, it did not diminish his charm.
She went to examine his injury, which was on his left arm, not serious, nor life-threatening.
It was indeed for her sake that he ca.
The old lady was truly heartless. She was her own granddaughter, yet she could think of such a despicable sche just to destroy her!
And this man was colluding with the old lady, which was utterly detestable.
Given that, she would not be rciful.
She ripped open a section of his clothing to reveal the bloodied wound.
With a rub of her two fingers, the dicinal powder from her fingertips fell onto the wound and instantly disappeared.
Having achieved her aim, Yun Jinnian had no desire to treat his wound any further. She stood up and said, "The injury is not severe, and it won’t be life-threatening for a while. However, I’m very curious as to why he appeared in Niannian Garden."
"Jinnian?" Mrs. Han called out softly.
"Mother, in the dead of night, this man appeared in Niannian Garden. We do not know who he is, so we should send him to the authorities!"
Xiu Xinfeng paused.
This... this wasn’t right...
Wasn’t it said that they would save him? Why check his wound and then not only not save him but also send him to the authorities?
Mrs. Han nodded, "Yes, send him to the authorities!"
Xiu Xinfeng realized that this mother and daughter pair were not joking, and this situation was completely different from what he had anticipated. He rose to run, but Bai Que and five maids surrounded him.
"You..."
"Catch him!" Mrs. Han shouted.
Bai Que imdiately took action.
Hei and Henuan, along with the other three, did not hesitate. The five ford a small formation, which significantly bolstered their martial arts.
Xiu Xinfeng then understood that he was in trouble.
This taels of silver were not easy to earn.
The nursemaid went to call for Yun Chen and Yun Qi. Such matters of turning soone in to the authorities were better handled by n.
No sooner had they tied up Xiu Xinfeng than Yun Chen and Mrs. He strode over quickly.
"What happened?" Mrs. He asked anxiously.
"This thief must have stolen from soone and got injured. Panicking, he fled to our residence. Brother, sister-in-law, it’s good that you’ve co. Now that we have captured him, we’ll send him to the Governor’s Office first thing tomorrow morning!" Mrs. Han said, her eyes cold.
Yun Jinnian stood there, saying nothing, her expression indifferent.
Yun Chen did not have ti to reproach them for much. He imdiately had people drag Xiu Xinfeng away. Xiu Xinfeng tried to slander Yun Jinnian, saying that they knew each other and had an affair or so such nonsense, thinking that ruining Yun Jinnian’s reputation would suffice. However, he realized that his arm, where the wound was, started to burn painfully, accompanied by numbness.
All of a sudden, his eyes widened as he looked toward Yun Jinnian.
She, she, she had poisoned him...
When had it happened?
Xiu Xinfeng was not a fool and quickly understood when it had occurred.
He had underestimated Yun Jinnian, a miscalculation indeed.
Now, he could only be sent to the Governor’s Office first. After all, he had no criminal record and could be freed after a few days of detention.
But Yun Jinnian watched Xiu Xinfeng with a faint smile curving her lips.
Once inside Jingzhao Prefecture’s prison, he thought he could get out without betraying the old lady—what a foolish dream!
