Rebirth of the Taming of the Slaves

In the front hall, Cang Zi was standing anxiously at the door, and immediately greeted us when we came back.

"How did you get assassinated? Did you get hurt somewhere?"

Just as I was about to shake my head, Baozi supported me and said with a choked voice, "Young master was cut on his shoulder."

Hearing this, Cang Zi was a little anxious, but she also knew that the door was not a place to talk, so she turned sideways to let us in.

We had just sat down in the room, and before I could explain the cause and effect clearly, I saw Hua Lingshu hurried over with two little maids.Seeing me sitting in the living room intact, a trace of surprise and resentment flashed in my eyes very quickly, and then he leaned forward to greet me.

Since this woman came over, my eyes have been fixed on her, and any emotional changes in her eyes have not escaped my eyes.This woman has held grudges against me for a long time. I used to show any unhappiness on my face. I also know that I have always been separated from my father because of her entering the mansion, so every time she provokes me and I am cleaned up, I feel sorry Xixi had a "chance meeting" with my father, or the scene where I got angry at her was always "coincidentally" hit by my father, so the distance between me and my father became farther and farther, and finally almost turned against each other.

But now, I basically smile at her every time, and even if she does something wrong, I basically pretend not to see it.The relationship between me and my father is becoming more and more relaxed, and I reminded my father to be on guard against her before, so Hua Lingshu can't win my father's trust like before. In the Hou Mansion, her hand can only reach as far as her own yard. I think she is the happiest to hear that I was attacked this time.

Suddenly, something flashed through my mind, and I couldn't remember it when I wanted to grab it.

Because Hua Lingshu was here, it was inconvenient for us to say some things. After the imperial doctor came, I asked him to look at the wound for me to confirm that the other party's blade was not poisonous, and then prescribed a prescription and wound medicine for me. was sent back by the housekeeper.

When the imperial doctor helped me change the medicine, my father quietly blushed at the side.I knew he loved me so much, so I tried my best to endure the pain and smile to make him feel at ease.The old man didn't feel any better because of this, he only looked at the wound that was almost across the shoulder, the joints of the old man's hands turned white, he gritted his teeth, turned his head and walked out of the front hall, standing alone at the door.

Back in my yard, because the wound couldn't get wet, I had to ask Baozi to fetch me a basin of warm water and wipe it roughly on my body.I was about to go to bed after drinking the medicine that the steward gave me, but I saw Jedi walking in with a gloomy expression.

I knew he had something to say, so I waved at Baozi who was waiting beside me, and asked, "You want to ask what happened tonight?"

"No, Chaoguang received a note just now, please take a look at it!" Jedi stepped forward and handed the note with both hands.

I gently rolled the note with my fingers, only to see that there was only one word 'Hua' written on the note that was two inches wide and long.

When I saw this word, I was quite puzzled, and I suddenly remembered the look in Hua Lingshu's eyes when he brought people to the front hall to see me, and I immediately understood.Twisting the note in my hand into a ball, I turned my head and said coldly to the Jedi: "Check out all the shady things in Washington these years, the more the better!"

Hearing what I said, the Jedi also understood what was going on, clasped their fists in both hands, and took his orders and left.

Sitting alone at the table, I gritted my teeth and hammered the table. The ball of paper I put on the table was rolled off the table and fell to the ground.After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was not enough to just collect their criminal evidence, so I hurriedly asked someone to invite my father to plot and then I was relieved.

It seems that my closeness to Hua Jinxiang these days has made some people in Washington suspicious, but fortunately Hua Jinxiang has established a firm foothold in Washington at this time, and those people can't touch him now.But this kid is indeed quite capable. He was able to find out this secret, and he even dared to send the news to me under their noses.

Lying down on the bed, although his mind was full of doubts, he was still defeated by the medicine and slowly closed his eyes.By the time I was awakened, it was already high in the sun.

At this time, Cang Zi was sitting at the table in a daze, she inadvertently turned her head to see me wake up, poured a glass of water, stood up and walked towards me.

"How do you feel? Does the wound still hurt?" As he spoke, Cangzi handed the cup to me. Seeing that it was difficult for me to get up, she stretched out her hand to support my back and helped me up. The cup came to my mouth.

Being taken care of by Cangzi, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but seeing his clear eyes, I let go of the embarrassment and drank the water dry with his hands.

"Why are you here, where is Baozi?"

Cangzi put the cup on the bedside cabinet, took a careful look at my tightly wrapped shoulders, pulled the quilt for me and replied: "He went to the kitchen to make medicine, and he will be back later."

Just as I was talking, my father brought the old housekeeper into the door with a gloomy face, and stared at Cangzi who was sitting beside my bed chatting with me for a moment.

Seeing her father coming, Cang Zi quickly got up and said hello to her father, thinking that our father and son should have something to say, he left and went back to his room.

Dad waved the butler away, making sure that there was no one else around, so he sat down beside my bed in peace.

"You guessed it right. Last night in the middle of the night, the steward of the laundry room in the mansion said that the old lady was sick and was going out of the mansion. I had someone detain her to scare her and then I explained everything. She was going out of the mansion to replace that bitch Hua Lingshu. The woman sent the letter, I will send the news of your serious injury, and the post has also made arrangements. Now the news of your assassination and serious injury has spread all over the capital, and I believe the emperor will receive the news soon."

I nodded, "In the past few years, the old man in Washington has acted meticulously, and there are not many reasons for falling outside. I'm afraid we will have to wait for a few days."

Hearing this, the old man sneered. "If there is no evidence, dad will fabricate a few for them! If you dare to trick my son, I will kill him!"

I know that my father wants to avenge me, but if it is too risky to do so, if someone finds out that Washington has not been brought down, I am afraid that we will be in trouble.

I told my father about my worries, and my father touched the top of my hair gently, and said softly: "Don't worry, since my father dares to do this, I have full confidence. If you can’t do well, Dad won’t be here today.”

I've never seen my father like this, the dependence on him that had been suppressed in my heart for many years suddenly burst out, and my uninjured right hand grabbed the hem of my father's clothes, like a child.

After a while, Baozi came in with a medicine bowl carefully. He wanted to serve me the medicine, but my father took it spoon by spoon and fed it into my mouth.

I was almost at the same level as my father before, and the relationship with my father has eased a lot some time ago, but it is far from being close to this level.Seeing my father feeding me the medicine with a gentle face, Baozi froze in place as if struck by lightning and couldn't move. In the end, Fan Yu, who entered the house to deliver the letter, took it out by the collar.

My eldest sister and my eldest brother-in-law got the news of my injury at noon, because the rumors were exaggerated a lot, and the eldest sister who didn't know the truth believed it, and passed out at that time. , When I entered my yard, the whole person could not leave, and was finally carried in by the eldest brother-in-law.The eldest sister who was crying was dumbfounded when she saw me lying on the bed in good spirits, and she turned her head blankly to look at the old man who was standing with his hands behind his back, a little confused about the situation.

The time difference between the time when the second sister and the eldest sister returned to the Hou's mansion was about an incense stick. When the second sister came in, she was much calmer than the eldest sister, but her eyes were red, and there were still tears on her face that hadn't been wiped dry.After seeing that I was fine, the grumpy second sister rushed towards me grabbing the feather duster stuck in the bottle.

Seeing this scene, I was so scared that I immediately hugged my head and dodged. My father hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the second sister.

The second sister was stopped by everyone and couldn't move, so she could only stand two meters away from me and gritted her teeth and said angrily: "You bastard, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, even if Dad protects you, I will have to pick it up You are skinny!"

Seeing the angry appearance of the second sister, I couldn't help shrinking my neck, raised my head and looked at my father with questioning eyes, how could he give birth to such a hot-tempered daughter.Dad looked at me and shrugged helplessly, motioning for them all to sit down and talk.

At this moment, the eldest sister was also in a hurry, and when she saw the father's words, she hurriedly asked, "Father, it is said that the younger brother is seriously injured, what's going on?"

Dad told my sister and brother-in-law about the attack on me last night from beginning to end, saying that I pretended to be seriously injured because I wanted to lure out the murderer. Dad didn't mention a word about Washington, and I Knowing that he didn't want the two sisters to worry about it.

When the second sister heard that I was pretending, she immediately stood up and wanted to beat me up, but my father quickly stopped her.

"Xiaoying, don't be impulsive, Ah Yan's shoulder is indeed injured, don't let him tear the wound."

The elder sister was aroused by what the old man said, and she walked up to me and asked me where I was hurt in a soft voice.The eldest sister was born gentle, and her temperament was very similar to my mother.Every time I see her, I think of my mother, hearing her ask.I sniffed a little aggrieved, and said muffledly, "The shoulder was cut."

The eldest sister lifted the quilt covering me with red eyes, and when she saw half of the shoulders wrapped in white gauze, she couldn't help but shed tears again, a pair of catkins trembling slightly caressed my shoulders and said no. Speak up.

Through the gap, the second sister also saw my wrapped shoulders, she bit her lower lip with red eyes, turned her head and asked Dad: "Dad, do you have any clues to the murderer who assassinated my brother?"

Dad shook his head and frowned unwillingly.The second sister got angry again, pointed at the second brother-in-law, gritted her teeth and said, "Yu Wenming, no matter what method you use, you must catch the murderer who injured my brother, otherwise I will never end with you!"

"Xiaoying! Dad has his own decision on this matter, and none of you should care about it! And when you leave the mansion, don't reveal a word about Ah Yan's injury. If anyone asks, just say Ah Yan is seriously injured, remember!"
