I made the villain right.

Chapter 301 Suspicion

After Shi Jin left the mourning hall, he was worried about Shi Wei and planned to go see him.

When walking onto a wooden bridge, they happened to meet a group of people from the Dali Temple coming towards them.

Shi Sheng's two subordinates, Wu Yu and Liu Jia, were dressed in the uniforms of Dali Temple yamen servants and had solemn expressions.

After seeing Shi Jin, they paused for a moment, a trace of sympathy flashed in their eyes, and they said in a low and solemn voice: "My condolences."

Shi Jin nodded slightly, looked at their receding backs, frowned slightly, and showed a hint of doubt on his face.

But he heard Fan Hua say: "After His Majesty learned that his brother was assassinated, he took it very seriously and handed the case over to the Dali Temple for a thorough investigation."

"Crown Princess." Suddenly, Zhilu's clear voice came.

Shi Jin looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhilu and Xu Ruogu walking towards him in a hurry.

Shi Jin thought that Zhilu had brought Gu'er to Shi Wei for treatment, so he hurried forward and asked, "Gu'er, how is my father?"

Before Xu Ruogu could speak, Zhilu, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, said first: "We haven't even seen the general, let alone treat him."

When Shi Jin heard this, his face tensed and he asked, "What's going on?"

Xu Ruogu looked aggrieved and said angrily, "There was a Madam Jiang who insisted that we were assassins and kept preventing us from treating the general. We mentioned Sister Jin's name, but she didn't listen at all. Later, when the general woke up, she actually said that he was fine and there was no need for me to treat him."

Hearing the news that Shi Wei had woken up, Shi Jin heaved a sigh of relief and said in surprise, "Dad is awake!"

But then, she reacted and looked confused: "No, what Madam Jiang?"

Zhilu told Shi Jin the information she had heard: "I heard from Butler Yu that this is the general's new wife in Jinzhou City, and it was Madam Zhao who brought them together."

Shi Jin knew that Old Madam Zhao was the original owner's grandmother.

But she had never heard of this Madam Jiang, and there was no such character in the original book.

Now that his brother has passed away, his father is all alone and inevitably feels lonely.

It would be great if he had someone to accompany him, but I hope that Mrs. Jiang is a kind person.

"Maybe my father said he was fine because he was afraid that I would worry. I'd better go and see him in person to feel at ease."

At this time, the aroma of tea was wafting through the room, and Jiang Yun was sitting leisurely on a chair drinking tea.

She raised her eyes inadvertently, and through the door, she saw a figure slowly approaching.

Jiang Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed softly: "Wow, what a handsome man!"

His eyes and eyebrows reveal a refined and handsome temperament, which makes people unable to help but admire him.

A hint of curiosity arose in my heart. When did such a person appear in the mansion? Could he be Shi Sheng's friend, coming to mourn him?

Before she could figure it out, the figures of Fan Hua and Shi Jin came into her sight.

Jiang Yun's gaze was instantly attracted to Fan Hua and fell on him, and he was stunned on the spot for a moment.

Fan Hua was seen wearing a black brocade robe, with an upright figure, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a stern face. He exuded a cold and noble aura, and had the aura of a superior.

Jiang Yun secretly exclaimed in his heart: What a beauty!

His eyes moved back and forth between Du Xuan and Fan Hua, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

Kyoto is really a great place, the men there are more handsome than each other.

She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice she had lost her composure.

She didn't even notice that everyone's eyes were on her.

"She is Madam Jiang." Zhilu leaned slightly closer to Shi Jin and explained softly.

Shi Jin raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Jiang Yun's face. After looking at him carefully, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.

In her opinion, Mrs. Jiang's seemingly gentle face hid a hidden mind, especially her eyes which were full of calculation.

This feeling made Shi Jin feel somewhat resistant to her and he disliked her very much.

Shi Jin raised his leg and walked towards Jiang Yun.

When Jiang Yun saw everyone coming towards her, she was stunned at first.

He immediately reacted and hurriedly stood up to greet them. After seeing Zhilu and Xu Ruogu, he seemed to have guessed their identities.

She put on a warm smile and looked at Shi Jin and said, "You are Jin'er, right?"

Shi Jin's face was cold, his eyes were filled with unquestionable determination, and he went straight to the point: "Mrs. Jiang doesn't think I'm an assassin anymore."

When Jiang Yun heard this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to normal.

He smiled and said, "Ah, so they were sent by Jin'er. It was just a misunderstanding. I was also worried about the general's safety, so I was a little cautious. I hope Jin'er won't blame me."

Shi Jin ignored her politeness and continued, "I heard that my father was injured and unconscious, so I found a doctor to treat him. Madam Jiang, please don't obstruct me."

After saying that, Shi Jin didn't wait for Jiang Yun's response and walked straight into the house. His aura was so powerful that it left no room for doubt.

Shi Jin spoke bluntly, and Jiang Yun was speechless for a moment. He felt that if he continued to stop him, his behavior would appear suspicious.

I had no choice but to stand aside with a stiff smile on my face.

Shi Jin walked into the inner room and saw Shi Wei lying quietly on the couch with a pale face.

"Didn't you say he was awake?" Shi Jin frowned, turned to look at Jiang Yun and asked.

Jiang Yun sighed softly, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and said: "The general took the medicine and rested. The doctor said he is fine, but Sheng'er's matter..."

As she spoke, her voice became choked up, "The general is feeling depressed and needs more rest."

Jiang Yun called them "Jin'er" and "Sheng'er" affectionately, but to Shi Jin, it sounded a bit hypocritical.

"Don't worry, Madam Jiang. I will leave after I make sure that Dad is healthy and will not disturb him to rest."

Shi Jin responded simply, his voice was flat and no emotion could be heard.

Then she exchanged a glance with Xu Ruogu and nodded slightly, indicating that he should take Shi Wei's pulse.

Xu Ruogu understood what he meant and immediately stepped forward, diagnosing Shi Wei with a focused look.

Xu Ruogu placed his fingers on Shi Wei's wrist and frowned slightly.

There's something strange about this pulse.

His pulse was disordered, with a vague sense of blockage, which was slightly similar to the pulse of the Blood Puppet.

Jiang Yun's eyes showed some nervousness and tentativeness, and he asked, "Young Doctor, is there anything wrong with the general's pulse?"

Shi Jin sensed something odd when he heard this. He glanced at Jiang Yun calmly and began to ponder secretly.

At first glance, these words sound full of concern, but upon closer inspection, they reveal an indescribable weirdness.

When ordinary people ask about a patient's illness, they usually ask about the patient's pulse and physical condition. They would never ask directly if there is anything wrong.

Unless Jiang Yun already knew something and had predicted Shi Wei's pulse condition in his mind, that's why he asked this question.

She was testing Xu Ruogu.

Shi Jin's eyes wandered over Jiang Yun's face, trying to catch something suspicious in her expression.

Xu Ruogu also sensed something was wrong, but he didn't plan to make it public until it was confirmed.

Xu Ruogu took back his hand, his expression calm, and his tone firm: "The general's pulse is stable, there is nothing serious. Just continue to recuperate according to the previous prescription, and you will recover soon."

After hearing this, Jiang Yun's originally tense nerves seemed to relax suddenly, and his expression also relaxed a little.

There was a flash of mockery in the depths of his eyes, but it was fleeting.

He is just a young boy. The little medical skills he has learned are probably not enough to be an expert in medicine. He cannot see anything.

In an instant, her face was filled with a relieved smile, and her eyes were full of false concern: "That's good, thank you, little doctor."

Yun's eyes swept across Shi Jin's face, and when they fell on Fan Hua, they lingered for a moment as if they were stuck.

Her heart was churning. If she guessed correctly, the man in front of her was Fan Hua, the leader of Fengyun Pavilion.

Looking at Fan Hua's outstanding demeanor, she couldn't help but feel a little greedy.

How would it feel if I could possess such a gorgeous man?

Thinking of the relationship between Shi Jin and Fan Hua, jealousy suddenly rose in my heart.

That little girl is so lucky to eat so well.

Shi Jin and Fan Hua were keenly aware of Jiang Yun's unscrupulous gaze, and obvious displeasure appeared on their faces.

Shi Jin: With that sticky look, could it be that she has a crush on A-Yu?

There was a flash of disdain in Fan Hua's eyes, and his look was gloomy: Disgusting, I really want to dig her eyes out!

Shi Jin calmly took a step forward, unnoticedly blocking Jiang Yun's sight towards Fan Hua, his expression calm yet somewhat distant.

"In that case, I'll wait for Dad to wake up before visiting him."

After leaving the house, Fan Hua looked at Du Xuan and whispered, "Go find out the details of this Madam Jiang later."

"Yes." Du Xuan responded.

After returning to the arranged residence, Shi Jin couldn't wait to look at Xu Ruogu and asked, "Gu'er, is my father's pulse really okay?"

When Xu Ruogu heard her ask this, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he asked back: "Sister Jin, have you also noticed something wrong?"

"I feel that there is something wrong with Mrs. Jiang. The questions she asked were also strange, as if she was afraid that you would discover something." Shi Jin said solemnly.

Xu Ruogu listened and said seriously: "The general's pulse is strange, very disordered, and somewhat similar to the pulse of the Blood Evil Puppet."

Shi Jin was shocked: "How could that be? But my father doesn't look like a Blood Evil Puppet!"

Xu Ruogu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It's hard to be sure now. We have to wait until the general wakes up before we can make further judgments."

Ever since Du Xuan entered the mansion, Fan Hua assigned him tasks and asked him to investigate the situation in the mansion.

At this time, Fan Hua asked, "Have you found any clues in the mansion?"

"Last night, the general returned home with Madam Jiang, and they were attacked by assassins at night. This is really strange. Recently, the general has been served by Madam Jiang, and no maids are allowed to serve him. In addition, Shaoqing Shi went to visit General Shi before his death, and was killed soon after. There was no sign of a fight at the place where he was killed, so perhaps that was not the place where the crime took place. According to the housekeeper, he noticed that the general's temperament became unusually cold and taciturn after he returned home."

Fan Hua listened at the side with a stern expression, as if he was thinking about something.

Shi Jin's face suddenly turned gloomy, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Mrs. Jiang is the most suspicious."

Thinking in my heart.

The pulse is very similar to that of the Blood Doom Puppet...

Temperament changed...

Under what circumstances would this happen...

Based on her experience of reading novels and watching TV, this was most likely someone controlling her.

Or it wasn't him.

Shi Jin was just thinking about this when he suddenly heard Fan Hua say, "Soul-stealing, could it be that my father-in-law's soul has been taken away by someone?"

Fan Hua paused for a moment and continued, "I heard that the wizards in Southern Xinjiang are good at soul-stealing and can control people's minds."

"I think so too, but there is another possibility that he is not my father, but someone else pretending to be him."

Shi Jin thought about it, frowned, and a guess flashed through his mind.

Could my eldest brother’s death also be related to this incident?

If this is true, what conspiracy do those people have in approaching the General's Mansion?

Thinking of this, her brows were filled with worry.

Fan Hua's deep eyes were filled with determination: "We will know if it is as we guessed after trying it."

Shi Jin's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and he said, "Okay, I have a plan, we can try it out tomorrow."

Outside the house, Xiaomian listened quietly to the conversation inside the house. A hint of inquiry flashed across her eyes, and then her figure flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
