Song Ju protected Chu Heyi and walked towards the back door.

Chu Heyi called Baihua along as it would be safer.

The back door was slammed.

Song Ju protected Chu Heyi and Baihua behind him and went to open the back door himself. The two people rolled in covered in blood.

It was Gan Sui and his little apprentice.

"Princess Cheng'an, please save me." Gan Sui still had some clarity of mind left, but the little disciple in his arms was already unconscious.

"When I get better, I will cure Miss Song's eyes." Gan Sui said.

The incident of the real and fake daughter of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion had caused such a big fuss that even though he had just returned to Shengjing City, he had heard about the grievances and love-hate relationship between Chu Heyi and Runxue.

After much thought, he felt that in this situation, the only way to survive was to seek refuge with Chu Heyi.

Otherwise, he and his little apprentice would either die or become dogs of the Cheng Wang and his wife.

He doesn't want to be a dog, nor does he want to die.

"Since you are here, I will naturally protect you. No one can hurt you on my territory." Chu Heyi said.

Gan Sui breathed a sigh of relief and then fainted with peace of mind.

Chu Heyi asked the guards to carry Gan Sui and his disciple into the house, and Doctor Yan immediately checked their injuries.

"Although they bled a lot, fortunately it was just superficial injuries, no broken bones. I'll stop the bleeding and apply some medicine, they'll be well again soon."

Doctor Yan said: "They are unconscious because they have been running around for a long time and are too tired."

Chu Heyi: "Please trouble you, Doctor Yan!"

As a doctor, Gan Sui must be very familiar with their injuries. He asked her to save their lives, probably not to treat their wounds, but to help them avoid being hunted down by others.

Not long after, someone came knocking on the door. It was someone from Prince Cheng's mansion.

"Greetings to the Lady of Cheng'an County." Yu Liang recognized Chu Heyi and immediately knelt down to pay his respects.

The etiquette was thoughtful, but the momentum was not diminished at all.

"Princess Cheng was poisoned, and we have been ordered to capture the criminal. Please help, Lady Cheng'an."

It was Princess Cheng who wanted to die.

Chu Heyi sneered: "Someone said I was hiding a suspect a few days ago, and now you come to my house to arrest the criminal. How come the Cheng'an County Lady, who was personally appointed by the Emperor of Daqi, would betray Daqi and the Emperor to hide a criminal?

"You want to search my house? Go get the emperor's search warrant. Otherwise, you'll be walking over my dead body!"

Chu Heyi asked Baihua to gather people and block all the entrances, not allowing anyone from Prince Cheng's mansion to come in.

After a long negotiation, Yu Liang had no choice but to send someone to inform Dongfang Shuo and his wife of the situation.

Moreover, he was very sure that Gan Sui and his disciples had entered Chu Heyi's yard, and he would definitely be able to catch them if he went in.

Not long after, Dongfang Shuo came in person and stared at Chu Heyi with anger on his face.

"My people saw with their own eyes that the criminal hid in your mansion. Now you don't dare to let my people go in to search. Are you afraid that I will find the criminal?

"Cheng'an County Lady, if you are afraid, hand the person over now, and I will not pursue your fault. Otherwise, when I personally go in and find the person, even if you are Cheng'an County Lady, you will die without a burial place."

Chu Heyi asked: "How can your Highness King Cheng prove that the criminal you want to arrest has entered my house?

“How can you prove that the person who ran into my mansion was the one who poisoned Princess Cheng?

"Everyone knows that you and I are at odds and you hold a grudge against me for the embarrassment and suffering I caused you in the past. Who knows if you will randomly grab someone in my mansion and say he is a criminal, and then slander me for harboring a criminal?"

Dongfang Shuo's cheeks twitched with anger.

I was choked and couldn't speak for a long time.

Chu Heyi raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter? You come to arrest people without any evidence? Is His Royal Highness Cheng Wang relying on his noble status to do whatever he wants? Or does His Royal Highness Cheng Wang despise me, the Princess of Cheng'an County, and deliberately embarrasses me?"

Dongfang Shuo gnashed his teeth and said, "Chu Heyi, please stop talking nonsense. How could I look down on you, the Princess of Cheng'an County!"

Even if he looked down on it in his heart, he could not show it, let alone admit it, because it was his father who conferred the title personally.

"Then why don't you show me the evidence? If you don't show me the evidence, you are just framing me and showing disdain for me!"

The moment she decided to save Gan Sui, Chu Heyi had already determined that this "battle" would be a war of words, and as long as Dongfang Shuo could prove himself, he would not be able to break in.

The war of words consumed one's patience. Chu Heyi had already prepared himself mentally and planned to fight him to the end.

Nanny Rui kept pouring her tea and water from time to time. She talked for a long time and her mouth was very dry.

Dongfang Shuo was so angry at her that his liver qi was blocked and his face turned blue. He wanted to punch her to death, but because of her status and her words, he did not dare to do anything.

They quarreled till their lips were dry and their tongues were parched. Dongfang Shuo almost fainted when he saw her drinking tea leisurely.

There were several times when he even wanted to lead his men to charge in. Chu Heyi ordered his men to resist him while shouting, "Your Majesty, the great King Cheng, can't tolerate a small Cheng'an County Lady like me. Not only did you break into my house, you also wanted to beat me to death! How could a County Lady who was personally appointed by the Emperor be bullied by a true royal bloodline like this?"

After she said that, how could Dongfang Shuo dare to move forward?

She was afraid that her words would be passed on by the people and heard by the court officials, and someone would make a fuss about it and report him to the emperor.

After two or three hours, Dongfang Shuo was defeated. He left some men to guard the mansion and went back.

house.

Song Ju helped Doctor Yan treat the wounds on Gan Sui and his apprentice, feeling extremely complicated.

They originally wanted to leave Shengjing City temporarily under the pretext of looking for Gan Sui to treat their sister's eyes, but now Gan Sui came to them, and this strong reason was no longer useful.

Must find another way to leave.

He was already very grateful to Chu Heyi for taking care of him for such a long time, otherwise he didn't know whether the three of them could survive next winter.

She and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion must not be implicated again.

Sang Nong came back in the middle of the night.

After coming back, he went straight to Song Ju's room. Song Ju had not slept soundly to begin with and was startled by him. Before this, Sang Nong seldom came back unless there was something extremely important.

In the dark night, there was no candle in his room, but with the moonlight shining in from the window, they could barely see each other's outlines.

Song Ju noticed that Sang Nong was staring at him, so he asked, "What happened?"

"Today, Princess Cheng came to see me in person and asked me if I had considered following her in the future. I rejected her again."

Song Ju's throat was hoarse: "And then?"

Sang Nong also spoke with difficulty: "Princess Cheng revealed our identities. She threatened me that if I didn't join them, I would be their enemy.

“Once she reveals our identities, it will not only be the three of us who will be executed, but also Miss Heyi who has taken care of us for nearly a year, and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

"I pretended to go back to the canal to think about it, and then I slipped back in the middle of the night. Song Ju, we have to leave, now!"
