| April 27th, Ningguo Mansion |
It was during the midday nap every day that You-Shi laid on the bed, but she couldn't sleep, and she tossed and turned.
After that beautiful night, she was quite flustered for a few days, and every tshe thought of her impulsive behavior that night, she was filled with regret and fear.
However, as tpassed, the atmosphere in the mansion remained calm, without any rumors spreading. As a result, the sense of panic gradually subsided, and instead, it was the unforgettable taste that filled her heart.
With a little anxiety, taboos, and never-befriended bravery and heartiness, You-Shi felt a bit difficult to restrain every tshe recalled it.
Today, there was no exception.
She tossed and turned on the bed for a while, suddenly lifting a slender and symmetrical leg, her crescent-like arched back as if to capture his majestic and burly body from the air onto her bed.
After a while, although You-Shi cback to her senses without success, her palm-sized melon seed face had already turned red and cooled down in the pillow for a long tbefore finally fading away.
Afterward, she locked the door tightly, changed the small clothes that were next to her, and sat in front of the bronze mirror for a while, and she never felt the urge to sleep again.
So You-Shi pushed the door and prepared to call out the maid and nanny to chat with Wang Xifeng or Li Wan in the Western Mansion. Unexpectedly, a shout reached her lips, but suddenly she heard sintermittent words coming from outside the door.
“Lord Sun... Secretly…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYou-Shi's delicate body trembled fiercely, and the hot and dry heat left on her instantly turned into cold. She was filled with only one thought, her affair with Sun Shaozong had been exposed!
For a moment, she only felt that the sky and earth were spinning. She reached out to support the wall, but still couldn't hold her figure. She stumbled forward a few steps and suddenly heard another servant girl outside the door exclaiming, "Really? Who could have been so bold as to dig someone else's heart out and intentionally hang it on the drum of the Central Judicial Office?”
“You don't know that, do you? I heard that this case involves five strangers, under the command of a masked person.”
“So the six dead people are all heartless traffickers? They really deserve it…”
After listening to these, You-Shi could be considered to be climbing out of the gate of hell again.
While she was feeling fortunate in her heart, Sun Shaozong's mood was not very good.
Yesterday at the Longsheng Old Store, upon learning that the mysterious person had reappeared, Sun Shaozong didn’t dare to neglect and quickly brought the culprit back to the Criminal Department for further questioning.
After reviewing for a long time, the results were few, and no one could provide any useful information.
The only seemingly useful clue was that the six hearts dug out were not fed to the wild dogs.
According to the instructions of the masked man, Wang Ergou prepared two food boxes in advance and placed one near the inn until he cout of the Longsheng Old Store. Wang Ergou then exchanged the food box containing the food with the one prepared in advance.
Later, when Wang Ergou secretly went back to check, the food box containing the heart had already disappeared, and there were no rumors of anyone discovering the hearts. Thus, Wang Ergou surmised in private that the masked individual had most likely taken it away.
Although this clue was strange and hard to trace after more than half a month, Sun Shaozong has repeatedly analyzed it with Private Advisor Qi for a long time.
And…
When it wasn't bright this morning, someone found a cloth bag on the drum of the Yamen. After opening it, it actually contained six hearts that had been dried and made into specimens!
When Sun Shaozong arrived, rumors were already circulating everywhere.
Above, Han Anbang and Jia Yucun summoned him to explain, while below, the officials were also making insightful inquiries.
Seeing this continue, it was uncertain what the situation would be like. Sun Shaozong simply summoned the officials from the Criminal Department to carefully explain the entire situation.
Although Sun Shaozong's heroic and powerful image was once again consolidated in the story, how could he be happy?
The act of a masked person hanging six hearts made into specimens on a drum of grievances, no matter how they thought about it, it was a pure provocation!
Sun Shaozong carefully investigated for a long tbut still couldn't send any useful information.
At present, he only knew about the masked person, who was tall and liked to provoke others to attack evil people. He also has a considerable understanding of the black and evil forces around the Capital city, and these six traffickers in the heart-stealing case were not scholars like Ma Yingjue, who were deaf to things outside the window.
It was not something ordinary people could do to grasp the whereabouts of human traffickers and lure them onto unsuspecting hooks!
Also…
“Uncle.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as he was writing these clues on paper, he saw Sun Chengye coming in, saying, "It's almost tto go back to the mansion, shall we…”
Sun Shaozong realized that it was already evening before he knew it.
He threw away the ghostly talisman-like rice paper, stood up, stretched his lazy body out, and then said to himself, "If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three. As long as this guy keeps committing crimes, he will always be caught and gone sooner or later.”
Sun Chengye hesitated for a while and couldn't help but say, "The people outside are all hoping that you won't catch him.”
This idea was understandable.
The uncle and nephew both left the government office and discussed in the carriage how Sun Chengye's son should exercise his muscles and bones to achieve success in the military in the future.
This was a suggestion put forward by Sun Shaozong a few days ago when he gave a gift for the first meeting. After discussing it with his wife, Sun Chengye found that this was a good idea. Even if he couldn't achieve success in the military, it would always be good to strengthen his body and health.
When they returned to the mansion, the two of them said goodbye.
Sun Shaozong was about to go back to the backyard to tease his son, but Zhao Zhongji cup and reported that it was around noon when the Second Madam of Rongguo Mansion cspecifically to invite the Elder Madam, Jia Yingchun, to go to Qingxu Temple to pray on the first day of next month.
It was said that to avoid bad luck at home, even the Old Lady Jia had to cforward this tpersonally, and the old and young men of Rong-Ning Mansion had to cforward too.
Since Jia's mother was going and Wang Xifeng cto invite her, Jia Yingchun naturally couldn't refuse.
“The Elder Master was supposed to accompany her, but in the afternoon, as he was about to be on duty at the camp outside the city, he suddenly remembered that there were important official duties on the first day of the lunar new year. Therefore, he askedto inform you to escort the Elder Lady to the Qingxu Temple.”
Sun Shaozong was not very interested in this kind of spiritual ceremony, but Wang Xifeng cspecifically to invite Yingchun; did she only want to burn incense at the Taoist temple?
