Wind und Rauch

Kapitel 13

"Get up!" He yanked the covers off her upper body and dragged her out of bed. "Sleep after you've had breakfast!" He turned and shouted to the maid, "Bring breakfast!"

Xiao Fei walked to the bedside with the things she had prepared beforehand. Ouyang Tianyun was dumbfounded when he saw the "breakfast" on the tray. An apple?

"Didn't I tell you to get breakfast? Why did you bring this?" he roared.

Seeing Ouyang Tianyun get angry, Xiao Fei immediately knelt down on both knees, almost crying out in fear, "Young Master, please forgive me."

"Didn't you tell her to get breakfast? My breakfast is just an apple!" What's this man doing here? Life used to be so peaceful!

"You eat this for breakfast?" Ouyang Tianyun asked, pointing to the bright red apple.

"Is something wrong?" In the 21st century, she used to drink a glass of milk every morning, but now that she can't drink milk, she can only eat apples.

"What's wrong? You actually ask me what's wrong?" He lost his usual composure and felt like he was being driven crazy. He didn't want to "argue" with her anymore. If this continued, he would either be angered to death by her or accidentally kill her! He turned to Xiao Fei, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up and go to the kitchen to get some porridge and side dishes."

"Yes." Xiao Fei fled as if her life depended on it.

Su Yuyin watched Xiao Fei's departing figure and glared fiercely at Ouyang Tianyun. Was this guy just bored and had nothing better to do than come here to scare her instead of going to be intimate with his concubine? She hadn't offended him at all!

At Ouyang Tianyun's insistence, she had no choice but to get out of bed and have a meal with him. This was the first time she had eaten alone with him, and she believed it was also the first time for "Su Yuyin"!

Chapter Six

Not long after Su Yuyin finished breakfast, her maid stumbled in:

"Young...Young Mistress, something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened."

"What happened?" Su Yuyin almost swallowed the whole grape. Had someone else been murdered?

"They broke in!" Xiao Fei rushed in as if a mad dog was chasing her.

Someone dared to trespass on Green Jade Manor? Hmm, quite bold! I'll definitely pay them a visit next time. "Them? Who are they?"

"It's...it's Commander Leng of the 'Six Doors' leading a lot of constables who stormed into the manor, demanding that Master hand over the Third Young Master." So many people! It's terrifying.

The cold-blooded leader of the "Six Doors"? Oh! The father has come to "avenge" his son. This is going to be a good show.

"Don't worry, they only want the Third Young Master, they won't come to our Meiju." Su Yuyin grabbed another grape and put it in her mouth, eating leisurely, showing no sign of impending doom.

"You...you should go and take a look, shouldn't you?" What's wrong with the young mistress? What time is it and she's still in the mood to eat grapes?

"What am I supposed to do there? Where are the people in the village?" Are they all dead? Su Yuyin frowned.

"Uh... there are no other masters in the manor besides you now."

Dujuan told her that the master had taken several wives to stay at the villa, and the eldest son had accompanied Madam Xiangmei to the temple to offer incense early that morning, also visiting the Qi Prince's residence for help. As for the second son, he had escorted the third son out of the city last night and hadn't returned home yet. The second young mistress was unwell and unable to receive guests. So, only she remained…

Seriously?! This young master actually has the nerve to accompany women to the temple to burn incense and pray? Leaving two defenseless women at home, one of whom is even sick. If anything happens to them, his second son will definitely come after him!

"They're in the lobby, right?" It seems she has no choice but to step in. Well then, she'll join the fray and play a supporting role.

"Yes, Steward Fang is attending to them, but it probably won't be long."

Let's go!

"Uncle Fang, what's going on?" Su Yuyin was helped by two maids into the hall through the side door and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties with a goatee sitting inside.

"Reporting to the eldest young mistress, Commander Leng of the 'Six Doors' has come to pay a visit!" Upon seeing the eldest young mistress enter, Steward Fang immediately went to help her sit down. If the eldest young master weren't absent, there would be no need to trouble the young mistress.

"Oh! So it's Commander Leng! I've long admired your name, and seeing you today, you truly are extraordinary!" Su Yuyin said softly, secretly sizing up Leng Hao. Looking at his gentle face, one couldn't tell at all that he was the head of the constables. "May I ask what brings Commander Leng here today?"

"You are the eldest young mistress of the Ouyang family, you should know about the incident where the third young master of your manor injured my son, right?" Leng Hao didn't beat around the bush and proceeded according to plan.

"This matter has caused quite a stir; it's hard not to know about it!" Su Yuyin replied with a smile. If you want to play along, she's happy to oblige!

"Then let's call Ouyang Tianyu out!"

"You've already sent everyone to Yangzhou to investigate the case, where would you find someone else to give you?" Su Yuyin thought to herself. "Commander Leng, how long have you been working on this case?"

"More than thirty years." Why ask that? Leng Hao looked at Su Yuyin, puzzled.

"Have you ever seen a criminal commit a crime and then hide in the same spot waiting for you to find them?" He doesn't even understand this basic principle; I don't know how he managed to survive in the underworld. "Ouyang Tianyu isn't stupid; he ran away long ago!"

"Where did he go?" That makes sense. But the act still has to go on.

Manager Fang looked at Su Yuyin nervously, afraid that the eldest young mistress might accidentally reveal the third young master's hiding place... Sigh! Why hasn't the eldest young master returned yet?

"Isn't finding missing persons your 'Six Doors' business?" She was getting annoyed. Why was this guy interrogating her like a criminal? Had he mistaken her for someone else? "Besides, it was he who injured your son, not us. If you want revenge, go find him. One person does the deed, one person takes the blame. We don't need to take the fall for his crimes, do we?"

What... what kind of show is he putting on? Leng Hao felt completely confused. It turned out that he planned to cause a scene here, which was why he brought so many people. Now it seemed that he should take them back "untouched". This eldest young mistress of the Ouyang family is not simple!

"Then, in Madam Ouyang's opinion, how should this matter be resolved?"

"Well... I think it's best to settle this privately."

Settle it privately? Leng Hao raised an eyebrow, waiting for what was to come.

"I think the Commander-in-Chief is a reasonable man. Why don't we wait until your son recovers and let him go find my third son to take revenge? We'll give him three months. If he finds my third son by then, let him beat him up, not missing a single punch, but not killing him. If he doesn't find him, then this grudge will be wiped clean. What does the Commander-in-Chief think?" Whether they find him or not is up to them to decide.

He felt as if she knew some inside information. This method seemed ordinary, but it could be used in many ways and different decisions could be made as the case progressed.
