Lin Yi truly wanted to find Ouyang Qian and did not hide his intentions, speaking openly about it.
When Ouyang Qian was ntioned, Ouyang Fu could only smile awkwardly.
"As Divine Doctor Lin may not know, my daughter, she’s hardly ever at ho. As her father, I also have no idea where she might be right now."
"However, I trust her. Since she was young, she has learned so martial arts for self-defense, and she has a clever and lively nature. No one in Lingyun City can bully her."
After praising his beloved daughter, Ouyang Fu’s lips curved upwards in an affectionate fatherly smile.
This elusive Ouyang Qian indeed gave people headaches.
After breakfast, Ouyang Fu invited Lin Yi to play chess. While they were engrossed in their ga, a servant rushed in in a panic.
"City Lord, City Lord, sothing terrible has happened. A part of the mine has collapsed, and more than a dozen people are dead!"
Ouyang Fu’s heart trembled and he kept making eyes at the servant, signaling that Lin Yi was still there and to not cause a commotion.
But the unexpected news overwheld the servant who, caught in his own frenzy, paid no heed to Ouyang Fu’s expressions and kept on talking.
Ouyang Fu’s face showed awkwardness. It indeed was a serious matter that needed proper attention, but he hesitated in front of Lin Yi.
After pondering for a long ti, he finally spoke slowly, "Let my wife handle this matter. Don’t you see I’m playing chess with Divine Doctor Lin?"
The servant was scared by Ouyang Fu’s rebuke, as under normal circumstances, Ouyang Fu would have rushed to the mine to understand the situation personally.
Yet today, he remained unusually calm.
Lin Yi was about to place a chess piece but stopped mid-air and lightly said, "City Lord Ouyang, should I step out for a mont?"
"No need, no need. My wife will handle it later."
Ouyang Fu, without even lifting his head, continued to focus on the chess ga. Lin Yi was baffled.
’Is the City Lord of Lingyun City so indifferent to the lives of miners? Ten people are dead, yet he doesn’t even blink an eye. How cold-hearted.’
At that mont, the servant stepped forward anxiously, "City Lord, the Madam went to Wushan City early today and has yet to return."
"What? She hasn’t returned?"
Ouyang Fu got up angrily, smashing the chess piece in his hand to the ground, roaring, "Why did the Madam go to Wushan City alone? Why was I not inford!"
The servant trembled in fright, stuttering, "The Madam took a hundred thousand taels of silver and specifically told us not to inform you!"
"This is outrageous! Do you even regard as the City Lord anymore!"
Ouyang Fu paced back and forth furiously, wishing he could rush to Wushan City and bring his wife back imdiately.
"Soone prepare the horse! To Wushan City!"
Ouyang Fu was frantic, knowing that the forr City Lord of Wushan City was a rival in love from his younger days. This was sothing no man could swallow easily.
Hearing this, Lin Yi felt redundant; he certainly couldn’t shalessly suggest accompanying Ouyang Fu to retrieve his wife.
The servant hesitated and said, "City Lord, the Madam instructed that if she doesn’t return by tonight, then only should you go. It’s not nightti yet."
Indeed, Lady Ouyang was only delayed by an hour more than planned. She had thought that after delivering a hundred thousand taels of silver and exchanging a few courtesies, she could return promptly, but an unforeseen incident occurred.
Looking at the nervously nodding servant, Ouyang Fu advanced and kicked him, furiously shouting, "Useless! If I don’t go now, my wife will end up being the wife of Wushan City’s lord!"
Having said that, Ouyang Fu completely ignored Lin Yi beside him and rushed out of the door like a whirlwind.
Lin Yi was left alone in the wind, eating dog food only older people would understand, and clearly, Ouyang Fu deeply adored his wife.
After all, for soone like Ouyang Fu, who holds such status and stature, it’s quite normal to have several wives and concubines.
But Ouyang Fu was like a clear stream, having only one wife at ho.
As Ouyang Fu’s hurried hoofbeats faded into the distance, peace returned to the large courtyard.
Lin Yi didn’t want to just sit around, so he imdiately put on his Bluetooth headset, wanting to check with Nan Yi if there had been a mine collapse.
However, the answer he received was that they knew nothing about this, and everything at the mine remained unchanged.
At the sa ti, Ouyang Xiao walked out of his room yawning and cursing, shouting at the butler.
"Enough, it’s a trivial matter, don’t bother . I finally got a peaceful sleep, and my beauty is still waiting for ."
The butler looked troubled and simply knelt on the ground, pleading: "Young Master, you’re in charge of the house now, the families of the dead miners are causing a stir, please give them an explanation."
Ouyang Xiao kicked the butler fiercely, impatiently saying: "I wish I hadn’t co back ho, there are too many troubles, sleeping in the brothel is far more comfortable."
"My beauty, let’s go, we’ll switch places and battle for three hundred more rounds!"
Ouyang Xiao staggered, obviously still not sober.
However, Lin Yi, noticing how depleted Ouyang Xiao appeared and his obvious kidney deficiency, kindly reminded him.
"Young Master Ouyang, you should look after your health. Young people can play, but not like this."
These words infuriated Ouyang Xiao, who beca completely sober on the spot, pointed at Lin Yi’s nose, and yelled,
"Which blind bastard dares to contradict ? Co, arrest him!"
This family, always quick to arrest people, sowhat overwheld Lin Yi, who wondered how he might redy this rich second generation’s bad temperant.
But just then, Ouyang Qian burst into the courtyard, disheveled with visible injuries on her face and hands.
"Quick, call the doctor, Miss, what happened to you? Does it hurt?"
The butler, frightened and pale, knew their Miss is the City Lord’s treasured pearl; having suffered such indignities, certainly, as servants, they would not escape the City Lord’s punishnt.
Ouyang Qian practically rushed into the mansion, and when she saw Lin Yi, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"He, he is the doctor—"
Before she could finish her sentence, she collapsed into Lin Yi’s arms.
Lin Yi was caught off guard, this girl crashing into his arms upon return, this degree of good fortune was indeed beyond his expectations.
Helpless, Lin Yi didn’t know what to do, the softness and warmth in his arms montarily disorienting him, it had been a long while since he felt his heart race like this.
Luckily, the butler whispered nearby, "Divine Doctor Lin, since you are proficient in dicine, please check our Miss to see if her injury is severe. You’re about to worry to death."
"Certainly, I’ll check Ouyang Miss’s pulse now."
Lin Yi did not dare to move recklessly, instead letting the butler gently pull Ouyang Qian away from his embrace, but the next second, Ouyang Xiao yanked Ouyang Qian into his arms.
"Take your dirty hands off! It’s not your turn to take care of my sister!"
