Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Before the maid finished her words, there was a loud bang and the door of the young master's mansion was knocked heavily.

A group of soldiers blocked the door, attracting the attention and discussion of the surrounding people.

"Hey, what's going on? Why are the city guards dispatched?"

"Who knows? But once the city guards are dispatched, it's bound to be bad news."

"Open the door."

The leader of the city guards knocked on the door and shouted loudly.

This scene frightened the servants and maids in the mansion.

"Miss Si, what should we do?"

The young maid looked at Jiang Xue. Now that Master Huai Chen was not at home, these soldiers looked so tough.

Letting them wait at the door would definitely cause criticism in the city, but if they were allowed in, I wouldn't know how to deal with it.

In this emergency, they could only rely on the nominal fiancée of Mr. Huaichen.

"They might be coming for me."

Yunyan looked towards the gate and tried hard to stand up.

This woman saved her, she couldn't let her get hurt.

"Just lie still and don't move."

As a doctor, she treated Yunyan with all her heart, and of course she didn't want to see her patient torment herself.

She gently pressed Yunyan's shoulders, signaling her to lie down and not move. She glanced around, called a maid to give her detailed instructions, and then took Si Ruochen out of the room.

"Why did the city guards come to visit the young master's mansion in such a menacing manner?"

As soon as the gate opened, the city guards rushed in, leaving no one a chance to refuse.

Jiang Xue stood in the yard with her companions and asked calmly.

In this kind of situation, anyone else would have been frightened and at a loss, but Jiang Xue remained calm, which surprised the leader of the city guards.

How could he know that Jiang Xue in her previous life had experienced a great war between two armies, so facing such a small scene today, she would naturally not be flustered.

She stood there with a cold and noble temperament. Even though the city guard leader didn't know her specific identity, he subconsciously saluted her and said, "Excuse me, young lady. We, the city guards, are under the order of the Fourth Prince to search the entire city for the Xiyong assassin. Please allow us to enter and search."

"Xiyong assassin?" Jiang Xue was shocked. She didn't expect Yun Yan to have such an identity.

"That's right. This assassin injured His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. He was beaten by His Royal Highness's men while escaping. He is now hiding in Huyin City! Miss, please cooperate with our city guards and let us search the mansion."

Seeing that Jiang Xue was taking a long time to move aside, the leader of the city guards became a little impatient.

Shangguan Xi was injured? It seems that Yunyan got into quite a big trouble.

No wonder the city guards were alarmed and sent out.

"This is the residence of the young master and the crown prince's tutor. How can I let you search it at will?"

The steward of the mansion mustered up the courage to say that these city guards usually relied on the protection of the Fourth Prince and were not very polite to the people in the Young Master's Mansion.

Today they came neither early nor late, but chose to come when the young master was not at home. It was obvious that they had ulterior motives.

"You old bastard, how dare you disobey the Fourth Prince's order! You are courting death."

A soldier rushed up shouting, pushed the manager and started to kick him.

"What an impolite person! Didn't anyone teach you to respect your elders?"

Si Ruochen took action and easily blocked the attack for the steward, and also knocked the soldier to the ground. Because the soldier used improper force, his finger broke with a snap, and he screamed in pain.

Si Ruochen looked down at him, his eyes full of disdain.

He hated scum like this who bullied the elderly the most.

"How dare you attack the city guards."

When the leader saw Si Ruochen counterattacking, his brows furrowed and he looked murderous.

The soldiers behind him drew their weapons, aimed at Si Ruochen, and were ready to attack at any time.

However, Si Ruochen looked relaxed and contented, not caring at all that he was facing dozens of spears and swords.

Seeing that the other party's aggressive look frightened the servants around, Jiang Xue walked forward, pulled the soldier's hand, and with a little force, put the finger back in place, and the pain was relieved immediately.

"Why do you have to be so fierce, sir? The people in our mansion are timid and can't stand your intimidation."

When Jiang Xue raised her eyes, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes which made the leader stunned for a moment, and suddenly a chill surged into his heart.

Letting go of the soldier's fingers, she continued, "My brother just couldn't stand someone being disrespectful to an old man, and he has no ill will towards the city guards, so why is he reacting so strongly?

Since the adults said that the mansion needs to be searched because there is an assassin, this reason is reasonable. But as the steward in our mansion said, the owner of our mansion is the Prince's Grand Tutor. If you want to search the mansion, you must at least have a formal search warrant.

If not, then we will let you in to search at will, which will not only ruin the reputation of our mansion, but also slap the prince in the face in public. If this angers His Royal Highness, who do you think will bear the responsibility? Will it be the city guards?"

Jiang Xue's words frightened the city guards.

What this woman said really makes sense! In Huyin, everyone knows that the owner of this mansion is the prince's man, and the prince and the fourth prince have always been at odds. If they forcefully search the mansion, the prince will definitely be dissatisfied with the city guards.

When the prince orders them to be punished, will they still have an easy life?

Thinking of this, dozens of spears were put back, and worried expressions began to appear on the faces of those soldiers.

When the leader of the city guards heard the soldiers' embarrassed expressions, he cursed them as "waste" inwardly. He turned around and inadvertently saw a maid holding a basin of blood with a piece of bloody white cloth soaking in the water.

The leader's face suddenly darkened. There was a lot of blood on the white cloth. Could it have been left by the assassin?

Thinking of this, his eyes shone, and he said to Jiang Xue in a tough manner: "The bloodstains on this white cloth are suspicious. For safety reasons, we must search. If you have any objections to our actions, you can ask the Prince's Grand Tutor to impeach us."

After saying that, he ignored Jiang Xue's warning and led a team of soldiers into the rooms to start a frantic search.

Jiang Xue did not stop them and let them search.

They searched all the rooms but couldn't find the so-called Xiyong assassin, and finally stopped at the room where Yunyan was.

"Why is this room the only one that's locked?" After pushing it hard, the leader discovered that the door was locked from the inside. He turned around and questioned Jiang Xue, only to see that Jiang Xue sneered, "Do you listen to what I say? If you're curious, just go in and see for yourself. Anyway, you've already forced your way into so many rooms, so this one won't make a difference, right?"

Her sarcastic tone made the leader a little embarrassed.

This woman was so eloquent that he couldn't win the argument.

He turned around and kicked the door open. A smell of blood wafted into his nose, followed by a scream from inside.

The city guards were all dumbfounded at the scene before them.
