After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Zheng Yan was stunned when he heard this and said, "Nephew? You spoke so tenderly, I thought you were a girl."

I shuddered when I heard this, and then I realized that the "nephew" Gongsun Wen was referring to was me.

I didn't expect Gongsun Wen to help me conceal my identity.

I quickly said in a deliberately hoarse voice: "You thought I was a girl and you dared to hit me?"

Zheng Yan touched his head in embarrassment and said, "Isn't this just trying to regain the face I lost?"

Gongsun Wen pushed me aside, winked at Yiping who had been hiding behind a pillar, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince, please follow me to the living room for tea."

Zheng Hao flicked his sleeves, glared at me, turned around and left.

Gongsun Wen frowned slightly as he looked at Zheng Hao's back. Zheng Yan also made a gesture of invitation as if nothing had happened and said, "Please, teacher."

Gongsun Wen nodded, moved half a body length behind Zheng Yan, and then made a gesture of invitation.

Zheng Yan smiled, without any attempt to be humble, turned around and left.

Seeing them all walking away, I touched my swollen face and said angrily, "I must lose weight and become stronger."

Yiping took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood on my right cheek. She said distressedly, "Second sister, can you not be so stupid when you talk next time? Look, you can get beaten just by sitting at home."

I hissed in pain and said, "Be gentle, it hurts!"

Yiping deliberately pressed the wound on my face and said, "You deserve it!"

I cried out "ouch ouch" several times and said, "I didn't cause those people to come here at all, okay? Do you think I want to be beaten or beheaded?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Yi Ping quickly covered my mouth and said, "Speak softly. Didn't you hear Lord Gongsun calling those two people "Your Highness the Crown Prince" and "The Fifth Prince"? I was almost scared to death when I heard it, and I quickly hid behind the pillar. You are still sitting there stupidly, not moving, who will be beaten if not you?"

I got angry too, and said, "I want to hide too, but the problem is that I'm so fat that I can't move! If you say something that hurts me again, don't follow me and go back to your city of Yongcheng!"

Yi Ping saw that I was angry, so he lowered his head, twisted his white handkerchief and said, "If we have to leave, we should leave together. You are too worrying. I am not at all relieved to let you stay in the capital alone."

"You!" I was thirty years old, but I was scolded by a child. I was embarrassed and was about to teach this disrespectful guy a lesson when a voice suddenly came: "You two, may I come in?"

Yiping and I quickly turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a mountain beard, a dark blue cloth robe, and a scholar's bun standing outside the pavilion, looking at us with a smile.

I was stunned. I didn’t expect it to be Li Jin!

It seems that Zheng Xian is very efficient, as Li Jin came here so quickly.

Li Jin walked up to me with a smile, bowed to me, and said, "I am Li Jin, I guess you are Zhao Man, Master Zhao, right?"

I also quickly returned the greeting and said, "Hello, Lord Li, I am Zhao Man."

Then I pulled Yiping closer to me and said, "This is my little sister Yiping."

Yiping was a little nervous and held my arm tightly.

Li Jin laughed and said, "Little girl, you are a little shy. I am not a man-eating monster. Don't be afraid, little girl."

Yiping looked at this "approachable" Li Jin and was so scared that she hid behind me.

I could only smile awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, Master Li, I just came from my hometown and have never seen the world, so I'm naturally a little shy."

In fact, I was rolling my eyes in my heart. She was afraid of strangers? She was not afraid of shit!

She sells tofu in the market every day. What kind of people has she not seen?

That's because Li Jin's appearance is somewhat similar to Zheng Xian. Yiping has a psychological shadow on Zheng Xian, this smiling tiger, so when she saw Li Jin, she hid involuntarily.

Li Jin laughed again, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

After Li Jin finished speaking, he pointed at the stool and said, "I have something to discuss with Mr. Zhao. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

I quickly made a gesture of invitation and said, "Master Li, please take a seat."

The servants in the mansion were gone, not even anyone was there to pour tea or water, so I had no choice but to say to Yiping, "Third sister, go boil some water to make tea, and go to the kitchen to see if there are any snacks or other food to entertain Lord Li."

Actually, I was very hungry, but I was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

But Yiping was a smart person, and he understood what I meant immediately, and quickly said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Li Jin and I sat down together. I said, "My younger sister is young and ignorant. I am sorry to make you laugh, Lord Li."

Li Jin waved his hand and said, "You are still young and innocent, how can you be laughed at?"

I smiled and said nothing.

Li Jin continued, "When you heard me call out your name just now, you didn't show any surprise at all. I guess you already know who I am, right?"

I couldn't help but pause. Li Jin's ability to observe people in detail is truly amazing.

It seems that the world-famous Detective Li is not just a name.

Li Jin smiled again and said, "Mr. Zhao, don't worry too much. I have no ill intentions. I was asked to come and investigate the murder case in the General's Mansion. Mr. Zhao, can you tell me in detail what happened that day?"

My silly look is actually quite suitable for playing a fool, but in front of Li Jin, I think it’s better for me to be honest.

I straightened my face and said, "I think Mr. Li has already guessed my identity, right?"

Li Jin stroked his goatee and smiled, nodded, and said, "General Zhao and his late wife had one son and two daughters. Judging from your age, you should be General Zhao's second daughter, right?"

My face changed. I didn't expect Li Jin to know my identity. I once lied to Zheng Xian and said that I was the general's second son. Doesn't that mean Zheng Xian actually knew my true identity a long time ago, but never said it?

I could only laugh and said, "Haha, Lord Li is really amazing. He guessed it right."

Li Jin laughed heartily and said, "There are a total of 13,000 official households in this imperial city, and no less than a thousand of them are official families. Although I dare not say that I know the relationships between the people in each of these 13,000 households, I still have some understanding of the clan relationships among these thousand official families."

I’m afraid that ten neighborhood committee aunties in Beijing can’t match her ability!

I couldn't help but give a thumbs up and say, "What a talent!"

Li Jin laughed again and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are too kind. I am not a talented person, I just have my own specialties."

What a good trick! This old fox’s tail is shaking so hard that my eyes are almost blinded.

I chuckled and said, "Master Li knows me so well, I'm afraid he has heard everything about what happened that day, right?"

Li Jin smiled and said, "It's not completely clear. There are still some details that need to be inquired in detail at the general's mansion."

When I heard that, I quickly said, "Then let's go!"

Li Jin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. I have already sent my name card to the General's Mansion and am still waiting for Madam Zhao's reply. Once it is confirmed, I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow."
