He turned around and immediately looked for the bed opposite, but the result was the same! The man in black immediately felt that he had been tricked, but just then, when he tried to leave, his feet seemed to be stuck to the ground!
Ji Wushang stepped forward, holding a large wooden stick in his hand. He had finally found it in a corner; it must have been left behind by a lazy servant who had forgotten to clean it up.
Ji Wushang raised the wooden stick. The man in black must have heard the sound and turned around immediately. But in that instant, Ji Wushang slammed the wooden stick down hard on the man's head!
Suddenly, the man felt dizzy and lightheaded, and he fainted.
Ji Wushang was relieved to see this, put the big wooden stick aside, and squatted down, thinking of removing the mask from the man. However, the man suddenly grabbed Ji Wushang's feet with both hands!
Ji Wushang was so frightened that he jumped up. Without thinking, he threw a punch and hit the man right in the nose!
Aunt Qin watched from the corner, covering her mouth. This young lady is quite ruthless!
Ji Wushang was relieved when he saw that the man had completely passed out and that there was blood streaming from his nostrils.
"I'll teach you not to faint! You'll regret this later!" Ji Wushang scolded, then looked at Aunt Qin, "Aunt Qin, come out and help! This person is trying to frame us, so we need to tell Uncle and the others immediately, otherwise, people will definitely say we're talking about them!"
"Alright, alright." Aunt Qin immediately came over. "Tell me, what should we do?"
"Tie them up first," Ji Wushang said, looking at them. "Just tie them up however you like."
Then Ji Wushang searched him and found a letter on his person, which turned out to be Bei Jing'er's invitation to this person to come to the mansion! Ji Wushang was overjoyed. Damn it, he's caught him red-handed! This idiot actually carried a letter on his person, so confident that he could succeed in doing things for Bei Jing'er? Hmph, doesn't he even know who the person is!
Upon searching again, they found a white silk ribbon. Ji Wushang was puzzled. What was the purpose of the white silk ribbon? But it was perfect for binding his hands and feet!
At this moment, Aunt Qin also found some cloth, and the two of them tied the person up tightly and threw him into the cabinet.
Ji Wushang found the bamboo that released the sleeping potion outside the door and then tidied it up.
They told Aunt Qin to go to bed, but how could Aunt Qin dare to sleep?
"Young Miss, I can't sleep. If you have any instructions, please feel free to give them!"
"Okay." Ji Wushang nodded. Since this person was on his side, he would definitely not treat her unfairly in the future!
"Come with me to sneak into Bei Jing'er's Jingxiang Pavilion at night," Ji Wushang said with a slight smile.
"What? What are you going there for? Breaking into a woman's private quarters at night is really indecent," Aunt Qin refused.
Ji Wushang said, "We're just going to take a look. Maybe we'll make some new discoveries. This man in black tonight was sent by her. If she doesn't go back and report to her after watching him, she'll definitely send someone else. Who knows what will happen then? So, we must strike first!"
Aunt Qin looked at Ji Wushang. If these words hadn't actually come from Ji Wushang's mouth, she would never have believed that this was Ji Wushang. She hadn't had much contact with her before, but now she finally understood how formidable Ji Wushang was.
"Okay." Aunt Qin nodded.
The two of them didn't change into any black clothes, which made Aunt Qin very worried. Ji Wushang gently shook his head, "Aunt, don't be afraid. We should be the ones making others afraid."
Aunt Qin mustered her courage and nodded.
Seeing that there were guards patrolling at the end of the corridor, Ji Wushang pulled Aunt Qin to hide. After the guards had all passed, they continued to walk forward. But just as they were about to leave, they heard people talking inside the house!
"What are you afraid of! Old Madam Xue is already dead. It's time for you to become the old madam and take charge of the entire Right Prime Minister's Mansion!" It was a man's voice. Judging from the sound, he was a middle-aged man with a very hoarse voice.
"You know me, I stay by the old man's side every day. He's old and ugly, I hate him to death!" The voice was sweet and seductive; who else could it be but the sixth concubine, Su Meier!
Upon hearing this, Ji Wushang was stunned, while Aunt Qin almost cried out, for this was clearly an affair!
Ji Wushang pulled Aunt Qin into the shadows, then covered his and her mouths, signaling them not to speak. Aunt Qin understood, and the two immediately hid.
I should have realized this long ago. How could the sixth concubine, Su Meier, truly like her maternal grandfather? He's already over sixty years old. If he weren't still healthy and able to make a living in the officialdom, that woman would probably have run away long ago. Why would she come into the mansion as a concubine? She must be after something!
"Be good, just bear with it a little longer. Once this old man completely trusts you, you can do whatever you want! You'd better hurry up and secure your position as the old lady! Hmph, if the old man dies in the future, you'll be the biggest beneficiary! What's there to worry about in terms of wealth and glory?"
"You make it sound so easy for you. You don't know that today, that young lady and her aunt came to the manor to pay their respects to Old Madam Xue. Humph, they're staying here tonight. I wonder what kind of trouble they'll stir up!" Su Meier said reproachfully.
"Hmph, what cousin? Don't you know that the Third Miss had her killed?"
"Did you do it? What do you mean? Bei Jing'er actually planned to kill Miss Biao?" Su Mei'er asked in surprise.
"Yes, the person she sent was my brother. How could I not know? Don't worry, he'll fake it as a suicide. A white silk ribbon will do the trick!"
At this moment, Ji Wushang and Aunt Qin exchanged a glance and finally understood why that person had a white silk ribbon on their body! It turned out that they were planning to kill themselves and then fake it as a suicide!
“There are two people! One is Aunt Qin, and the other is Miss Cousin,” Su Meier said. “Two people, one white silk ribbon? What a joke!”
"You're so stupid! You killed one person, were filled with fear, and committed suicide."
Su Meier looked at the man in front of her and after a long while, she finally spoke, "That makes sense."
"Yes." The man nodded.
"You should leave now! Take advantage of the fact that no one is around and get out of the manor quickly, or it won't be good if someone sees you!" Su Meier reminded her.
“No rush, it’s only 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. Beijing time, what’s there to be afraid of? There’s plenty of time!” the man said, and then the sound of his thin lips coming close to his and kissing him could be heard.
"No, let me go, not tonight, really, I need to go see what's going on." Su Meier seemed to be resisting slightly, but it didn't seem to be working.
"What are you afraid of? There's no one here! After we finish this round, we can go see that Miss Biao's corpse." The man said, and then began his bestial act.
Then I heard some unbearable sounds.
Ji Wushang blushed, and Aunt Qin was also quite embarrassed. Ji Wushang immediately pulled her away, and only after making sure no one was around did he say, "Aunt, you stay here and keep watch, I'll go and call someone to catch them in the act!"
"I...I don't want to stay here." Aunt Qin looked at Ji Wushang nervously. "Let's go together! I'm really scared to stay here." What if someone suddenly jumps out?
Ji Wushang nodded, "Let's go quickly."
Ji Wushang thought of going to the courtyard of the Right Chancellor's maternal grandfather, but it was too far away. At this moment, Ji Wushang saw Bei Luojun's courtyard.
After thinking for a moment, she said, “Auntie, wait for me here. We need to hurry. We can’t go to my maternal grandfather’s place now. I’ll ask my second cousin for help.”
"Go quickly." Aunt Qin was genuinely anxious.
Ji Wushang hurried inside and saw the guards. She stepped forward, and the guard, recognizing her, immediately approached, "Is this Miss Ji? What brings you here, Miss Ji?"
Ji Wushang looked up at Bei Luojun's house not far away and saw that the lights were still on. He said, "I have something urgent to tell my second cousin. Please inform him."
"Cousin Wushang? What's the matter?" Bei Luojun had already come out of the room at this time. Seeing Ji Wushang's late-night visit, he was actually overjoyed.
Although she had rejected him, it was already enough for him to just glance at her and exchange a few words with her!
The guard saw Bei Luojun arrive and immediately walked away. Ji Wushang stepped forward and said, "Second cousin, I have something to tell you."
"Go ahead and say it." Bei Luojun looked at Ji Wushang's serious expression and knew that the matter was urgent.
“There are some things you may not believe, but please be prepared. Please come with me, Second Cousin. It would be best if you brought some people with you, your trusted confidants. And you can’t make any big moves, because we need to…” Ji Wushang whispered the last two words in his ear. Bei Luojun’s eyes widened in surprise, but Ji Wushang quickly covered his lips. “Second Cousin, shh.”
Bei Luojun was furious, his eyes blazing with anger, but he held back, saying, "Fine, Cousin Wushang, you wait a moment."
"Hurry up, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch it!" Ji Wushang looked at him.
Bei Luojun nodded and quickly gathered some people, including his older cousin Bei Juefeng!
Ji Wushang looked a little stunned, but still said, "Big Cousin."
"Get out of here!" Bei Juefeng was calm, but it wasn't hard to see the anger in his eyes, and his hands were already slightly clenched.
After exchanging a glance, Bei Luojun walked ahead. Just as Ji Wushang was about to say something, Bei Juefeng said, "Cousin Wushang, I know what you want to say, and we will absolutely not tell anyone."
"Big brother, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that we need to create an encirclement, because I suspect there's an inside man or someone making contact outside, so we have to be careful!"
“Okay.” Bei Juefeng nodded.
"There's one more thing, and I hope my cousin won't be angry after hearing this," Ji Wushang said to Bei Juefeng as they walked. At this moment, Aunt Qin stepped forward, "Miss, this is..."
“My older cousin.” Ji Wushang nodded.
Aunt Qin gave a simple bow, and Bei Juefeng, recognizing that Aunt Qin had come with Ji Wushang, also greeted her, "Aunt Qin."
"Quickly, let's hurry." Ji Wushang immediately led them there.
Sure enough, as they approached the room, they could faintly hear some intermittent moaning sounds, which made everyone blush with embarrassment! Especially Ji Wushang and Aunt Qin, because apart from these two women, everyone else was a man.
Bei Juefeng was furious, and Bei Luojun could no longer hold back. He kicked open the door to the room, and everyone rushed in!
Ji Wushang and Aunt Qin wisely withdrew. Now it was up to their Right Prime Minister's residence to deal with this. They believed that Bei Juefeng and Bei Luojun would definitely be able to punish this sixth concubine! Let their Right Prime Minister grandfather see what kind of woman she really was!
Sure enough, a gasp was heard, followed by a lot of noise. Ji Wushang quickly pulled Aunt Qin away, "Quick, we need to get to Jingxiang Pavilion."
"Hmm." Aunt Qin felt that being by Ji Wushang's side was somewhat dangerous, but it was also full of excitement at all times. All of this made Aunt Qin feel like her heart was beating again, instead of the way she used to be, hiding in the West Garden and always on edge, worried that someone would harm her!
But now, I'm no longer in comfort; it feels like a rebirth.
"Aunt, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and follow me." Ji Wushang turned around and glanced at Aunt Qin with some helplessness. Why did Aunt Qin seem so unhurried?
Aunt Qin immediately followed, "I'm sorry, Miss."
"Shh." Ji Wushang heard some noises.
Aunt Qin fell silent. Sure enough, she saw many guards heading towards the side room, probably because they had heard some noise!
After Ji Wushang and Aunt Qin evaded the guards, they headed towards Bei Jing'er's Jingxiang Pavilion. Just then, they saw someone hiding in the distance, seemingly watching the wind or waiting for someone. Ji Wushang recognized him as Tie Feng and immediately waved to him.
"How about Iron Peak?" Ji Wushang asked.
"Reporting to Miss, the person is inside, anxiously awaiting a reply from the man in black," Tie Feng said calmly.
Ji Wushang nodded. "Alright. I've already tied that person up. In that case, do as he says."
Ji Wushang whispered something in Tie Feng's ear, then said, "You do this to get her out of here, and then we'll make other plans! Hmph, I think she wants my life! If it weren't for my uncle's sake, I would have her dead!"
"Yes." Tie Feng knew that Bei Jing'er was only thinking about bullying Ji Wushang and wanted Ji Wushang dead, so he was willing to risk his life to do it!
Ji Wushang saw Tie Feng immediately step forward and, unexpectedly, knocked out a guard. He went inside and bowed to report, "Third Miss, the person has arrived."
Bei Jing'er was anxiously waiting. When she heard the news, she didn't care who was talking and rushed out immediately. However, Tie Feng chopped her down from behind, and Bei Jing'er immediately went limp. Tie Feng then picked her up and carried her away.
After dodging several guards and the drowsy maids, Tie Feng easily brought the person to Ji Wushang. "Miss, the person has been brought."
"Beat him up! After you're done beating him up, throw him into the garden, and then..." Ji Wushang quickly gave the order.
Tie Feng immediately took the person to the garden. Seeing that no one was around, Tie Feng gave the person a severe beating without any mercy. After hiding the person and making sure that the person was still asleep, he immediately headed towards Ji Wushang's room, where Ji Wushang and Aunt Qin were already waiting.
When Ji Wushang saw Tie Feng return, he immediately let him in, then opened the wardrobe and saw a man dressed in black who was still unconscious.
Ji Wushang gave a signal with his eyes, and Tie Feng nodded. He immediately picked up the person and carried him out like a little chicken!
Aunt Qin stared for a long time, speechless. This Tie Feng was incredibly strong, and this young lady Ji Wushang was extremely cunning. In other words, she was a master of subtle schemes, and no one would know when she would die!
Ji Wushang glanced at Aunt Qin, who was standing there dumbfounded, and said, "Aunt, please get some rest. It's almost dawn, and we'll be going to see a play later!"
"Yes." Aunt Qin only came to her senses after hearing Ji Wushang speak. "Miss, you have such a good plan and courage. I really admire you."
"It's been hard on you, accompanying me on this long journey," Ji Wushang said. One of the reasons he had her accompany him this time was to let her know how effective he was, so that she wouldn't dare to act recklessly in the future. A person needs some authority to keep them in check. Giving them benefits isn't enough; you also need to make them obey you from the bottom of their hearts. That's the most powerful way to win someone's heart.
Ji Wushang went to bed at this time, saying, "Auntie, get some rest."
