The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape
Chapter 228 Discovery
Young Master Jin got off the carriage gracefully. When his eyes swept across the crowd, he suddenly saw the figure of "Master Lin" and his expression was slightly stunned.
However, after just a moment, he returned to normal.
After all, there were many people coming to the banquet tonight, and his appearance here didn't seem particularly abrupt.
The servant at the door bowed respectfully and said, "Master Jin, please come in."
Young Master Jin nodded slightly, then stepped into the mansion.
At this moment, Xue Jinhua had no intention of getting close to Young Master Jin. All she was thinking was that if Young Master Jin needed to return to the yamen to handle business later, she could arrange for someone to go and pick up Li San.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Gongzi Jin actually walked straight towards Xue Jinhua and called her to his side.
Then, he said to Master Lin beside him with a smile: "Master Lin, today is a rare opportunity! How about we have a few drinks together?"
Hearing this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but frown.
Guyu, who was standing next to her, suddenly became so nervous that his heartbeat quickened and even a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Because only the two of them knew that the Crown Princess was pregnant, and drinking was an absolute taboo for her.
Xue Jinhua stared at Gongzi Jin's face closely, her heart feeling like a lake swept by a strong wind, turbulent and swaying.
Gongzi Jin's mouth corners slightly raised, looking at her with a smile, his eyes flickering with a hint of teasing: "Why, Master Lin is a man, can't you even give me this little face?"
He paused, then continued, "Or, Mr. Lin, do you have any unspeakable difficulties? Why not tell me about it?"
It’s strange to say, but since Master Jin first met Mr. Lin, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart.
The feeling came so suddenly and so strongly that even he himself could not explain the exact reason.
If it weren't for this feeling of intimacy, he would never have let the person in front of him go so easily since the night they first met.
At this moment, Gu Yu stepped forward and bowed to Master Jin, explaining, "Master, please understand. My master has been ill recently, especially after drinking. He has allergies all over his body, itchy and painful. He absolutely cannot drink alcohol."
However, Gongzi Jin was obviously skeptical about this statement. He turned his gaze back to Xue Jinhua and asked, "Is it really just because of allergies and not other reasons?"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for the other party to respond, he subconsciously stretched out his right hand and wanted to gently touch Xue Jinhua's cheek.
Unexpectedly, Xue Jinhua reacted very quickly. She turned her wrist and raised her jade hand without hesitation, fiercely slapping away the palm that Gongzi Jin had extended. There was a crisp sound of "slap", and everyone present was startled.
There was only a crisp "pop" sound, and the originally noisy scene suddenly became silent, as if time had frozen at this moment.
Such a huge commotion here was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, immediately alarming everyone present.
Everyone looked sideways, their eyes focused on the scene of the incident.
"Who is this? How dare he be so bold as to attack Master Jin!" A surprised voice came from the crowd.
"I think this guy is probably tired of living and is simply seeking death." Another person echoed.
"Anyway... hehe, this is really a wonderful show to watch! You know, Master Jin is famous for his hot temper." Someone else interjected with glee.
"........."
For a while, all kinds of discussions were heard like a tide, one after another, and never stopped.
However, Xue Jinhua, who was at the center of the vortex, felt her heart in turmoil and was completely unable to remain calm.
Young Master Jin was wearing a mysterious mask. Although his real face could not be seen clearly, from the powerful aura he exuded and the anger he revealed, one could still clearly feel that he was in a rage at the moment.
Xue Jinhua stared at the wine glass in front of her and picked it up without hesitation.
Under the astonished gazes of the people around her, she unexpectedly spilled the wine in the glass onto her fair and delicate wrist.
A jaw-dropping scene occurred: at an alarming speed almost visible to the naked eye, her wrists were quickly covered with dense red rashes, which looked shocking.
"Master Young Master Jin, I really did not lie to you." Xue Jinhua said as she raised her wrist, which was covered with red rashes and formed a sharp contrast with the smooth and delicate skin on her face, and stretched it in front of Young Master Jin.
At this moment, Gongzi Jin, who had been silent all the time, suddenly moved.
He appeared in front of Xue Jinhua in a flash like a ghost, and then stretched out his big hand without hesitation and held her wrist tightly.
People all around held their breath, stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes, and secretly wondered what thrilling plot would happen next.
They all believed that this time Xue Jinhua had thoroughly offended Master Jin, and that he would be in great trouble and be severely punished soon.
Even the person involved, Xue Jinhua, looked pale and his heart was pounding.
She was filled with fear and thought: Is it true that I am going to die this time? Seeing Gongzi Jin's furious look, he must be really angry. However, now that things have come to this point, regret is of no use. The most urgent thing is to quickly come up with a way to get out of the current predicament.
So her brain started working rapidly, various thoughts flashed through her mind, trying to find a way to survive.
Who would have thought that just as she was racking her brains to think of a countermeasure, Gongzi Jin, without saying a word, reached out and grabbed her arm, and dragged her into the house like a chicken.
This sudden action stunned everyone present. They stood there for a moment, at a loss as to what to do.
Xue Jinhua's servant was also shocked when he saw this, but he quickly came to his senses.
He knew that his master was in a very dangerous situation and he would protect him at all costs.
So, he followed without hesitation, rushed into the house, and secretly swore in his heart that even if it cost him his life, he would make sure the master was safe.
"Humph, it's just an allergy in one place? I don't believe this nonsense!"
Gongzi Jin snorted coldly without giving it any further thought. As soon as he entered the room, he casually threw Xue Jin's painting aside.
Xue Jinhua was caught off guard and her body crashed straight into the table not far away.
At the critical moment, she instinctively protected her abdomen with both hands, thus avoiding more serious injuries.
"Master, are you all right?"
Outside the house, the anxious call of "Guyu", the servant of Xue Jinhua, was heard at the right time, and his concern was evident in his words.
Obviously, this was sending a message to Xue Jinhua in the room - if she felt any discomfort or encountered any danger, the servants waiting outside would immediately break in and come to rescue her.
"It's okay. Just wait outside. Don't come in without my order." Xue Jinhua's tone was cold and firm, and there was no room for doubt.
Because she knew very well that if they barged in rashly, the whole matter would be exposed, which was a situation she did not want to see at all.
At this moment, the only thing she wanted to do was to try to buy more time for Li San.
For this, she would not hesitate even if it meant having to play nice with Young Master Jinxu.
The young master Jin's face was livid, his eyes were like knives piercing straight at Master Lin, and he said coldly: "Master Lin, you keep saying that you are allergic, but it's just a rash on your wrist. This is hard for me to believe. In my opinion, it would be better for you to take off all your clothes so that I can take a closer look. What do you think?"
He said this without any scruples, as if he didn't take the other person seriously at all.
Hearing this, Xue Jinhua's heart suddenly shrank, but she still pretended to be calm and responded softly: "Master Jin, this action may be inappropriate, right? Think about it, we are both men. If this behavior is known and spread by others, wouldn't it greatly damage your reputation? I hope you will think twice before acting."
However, Gongzi Jin turned a deaf ear to Xue Jinhua's advice. His breathing became more and more rapid, and his chest rose and fell violently. He was obviously angry: "What? Do you dare to disobey my order?"
"Young ones don't dare!"
When the terrified voice sounded, Gongzi Jin's face turned gloomy and he walked towards Xue Jinhua with firm steps.
His eyes were as cold as ice, without a trace of mercy. He reached out his hand and grabbed Xue Jinhua's clothes without hesitation or mercy.
"I said you have to watch it, so why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Gongzi Jin's words were as biting as a cold wind, making people shudder.
As he exerted force with his hands, the clothes were about to be torn.
At this time, Xue Jinhua's heart was filled with despair. She opened her eyes wide, tears welled up in her eyes, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Just as she was about to shout loudly for the guards outside the door to come and rescue her, suddenly, an abrupt voice broke the extremely tense atmosphere.
"Sir, there is a letter from the capital."
The voice seemed to come from a faraway place, but it was heard clearly by everyone present.
At this critical moment, Xue Jinhua, who had opened her mouth and was about to shout, seemed to be under a spell and swallowed the cry for help that was about to come out of her mouth back into her stomach.
Upon hearing the news, Gongzi Jin paused abruptly, with obvious anger on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wait a minute!" However, things did not end there.
Then, another person came in a hurry to report: "The governor has arrived, and he has brought the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He is waiting outside at the moment, and he said he has something urgent to discuss and needs to see you immediately."
The person outside urged again: "Sir, the situation is urgent, please come out quickly."
Hearing this, Gongzi Jin couldn't help but frown slightly.
Especially when the word "Crown Prince" reached his ears, his heart was shocked, and he stopped his actions involuntarily, and said in a deep voice: "I know, I will leave immediately."
After the footsteps of the people outside gradually faded away, Gongzi Jin slowly let go of Xue Jinhua in his arms.
However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly swept across Xue Jinhua's earlobe.
There was an extremely tiny needle hole there, which was almost imperceptible without careful observation, but such details could not escape Gongzi Jin's sharp eagle-like eyes.
In an instant, Gongzi Jin was so shocked that he stood there in a daze. An astonishing guess flashed through his mind like lightning.
At this time, Xue Jinhua had not yet reacted to what had happened. She only felt that Gongzi Jin suddenly let go of her hair without any warning.
In an instant, that long, shiny black hair cascaded down like a waterfall and scattered on her shoulders.
Xue Jinhua was stunned by this sudden change, while Gongzi Jin stared at the familiar face and outline in front of him.
Even though Xue Jinhua was dressed in men's clothes and looked like a man at this moment, he could still recognize at a glance that the person who had been haunting him was the long-missing Crown Princess.
"Princess Consort, you made it so hard for me to find you."
Gongzi Jin's voice was low and full of complex emotions, as if he was suppressing endless longing and anger.
Hearing this, Xue Jinhua's expression instantly became tense, and she blew a clear whistle without hesitation.
As soon as the whistle sounded, the people who were guarding outside the door disappeared without a trace like ghosts.
Seeing this, Gongzi Jin's face turned even darker. He gritted his teeth and said, "The Crown Princess is so sure, do I really not dare to kill you?"
Facing Gong Zijin's threatening questioning, Xue Jinhua met his gaze fearlessly and responded decisively: "You dare not!"
Xue Jinhua was very confident in her heart. She knew that as long as Boss Xue's goal had not been achieved, Gongzi Jin, who was his lackey, would never dare to attack her easily.
After all, she knew clearly the relationship and conflicts of interest between them.
However, now that Young Master Jin has noticed his presence, Li San will inevitably be in an extremely dangerous situation.
Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua frowned tightly, thinking secretly in his heart: The most urgent thing is to ensure the safety of Li San and Qingyi first, and other things can be put aside for the time being.
At this moment, Gongzi Jin's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He glared at Xue Jinhua and asked with gritted teeth, "Why is the Crown Princess so sure that I will not betray the Imperial Master? Are you really that confident?"
Xue Jinhua slowly stood up and responded solemnly, "It's not that I trust you, but I have faith in the methods and strategies of the Imperial Master. Since he dared to let you, a vicious dog, come to Shangzhou, he must have full confidence in you. I guess in his eyes, you are just a loyal dog who obeys orders and will never betray his master."
This was undoubtedly like a sharp sword, piercing Gongzi Jin's sore spot. A flash of anger flashed across his eyes, "Crown Princess, a momentary verbal pleasure will not do you any good."
Xue Jinhua remained silent, but was secretly calculating the time in her heart. If Li San acted quickly enough and did not encounter any obstacles, he would have successfully obtained the antidote by now.
"Young Master Jin, you'd better leave quickly. If you keep the governor waiting for too long... then it will be hard to explain."
Seeing her so calm, Gongzi Jin's heart felt like it was hit hard by a heavy hammer. Suddenly, he suddenly realized something and his expression became even more stiff. "The Crown Princess is so clever. I am really inferior to her!"
"Someone, come back home!"
