I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 21
"How many times your mother told you, you never took it to heart!"

Duke Zhen was also very frightened this time.

God knows that he came down from the place where Wan Jinlan fell off the cliff, and when he saw the picture of the man in black being pierced by a dry wooden thorn, his legs were limp.

He knew that Wan Jinlan's skills were not bad, but she was not a first-class expert, and she was not indestructible. If she fell from such a high place, she was a girl, and the possibility of accidents was very high.

Wan Jinlan was scolded and shrank her neck, not daring to make a sound.

Her father usually loves her, but when he gets angry, his serious face can scare a child into tears.

She heard a lot from her mother that she was scared and cried by her father's face when she was young.

Although she doesn't remember much about her childhood, when her father gets angry, she usually doesn't dare to sing against him.

Zhen Guogong: "I think you have learned martial arts and don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. You rush forward in everything."

Wan Jinlan pretended to be a quail, calling in her heart for brother Zhijing to come and save him.

Why is Duke Zhen so angry?
There is also a reason for this.

Today is also a coincidence, it is the day when Zhen Guogong rests for a bath.

The mother and wife of the family all go to Huayan Temple to offer incense, and only the father who has nothing to do in the family is wielding a big sword in the martial arts arena.

He didn't want to practice swordsmanship with his old man, so he rode out of Guocheng to the southern suburbs for a jog. After all, he has been busy with business recently, and he has to deal with complicated relationships in the officialdom.

It just so happened that the guards in the manor were dispatched together.

After asking, I found out that Wan Jinlan had fallen off the cliff.

He galloped all the way to the edge of the cliff, climbed the rope and led people down to the halfway up the mountain, and saw the corpse. Not to mention the horror at that time, there was something even more thrilling.

Wan Zhijing and Xiao Minghuan, who brought people down ahead of time, were leading the guards and a group of pigs to confront each other. Many of the guards were injured. Seeing blood, the eyes of the pigs were all red, and they went crazy .

If he comes a little later, I don't know how many people will be killed or injured.

After most of the pigs were killed, he let Xiao Minghuan and Wan Zhijing go up first.

Anyway, Xiao Minghuan is a man of heaven and earth, if something happens, their government can't bear this responsibility, and he doesn't want to take this responsibility. Besides, Xiao Minghuan is not much more than Xiao Minghuan, and he is not much less. He didn't want the government to accept his love either.

The group of pigs wasted a lot of time, fearing that there would be other ferocious beasts at the foot of the mountain, causing more casualties, no matter how anxious he was to find Wan Jinlan, he did not divide the people into two groups, and it was not good to find people when the sky darkened That's why Wan Jinlan waited and waited for no one.

The people from the government's mansion had already made preparations to save the person from above. As soon as the guards on the top noticed that the rope was shaking, they tried their best to pull the person up.

In order to prevent the rope from breaking, more than one strand can be put down.

Duke Zhen was afraid that something would happen to his daughter on the way up, so he pulled the rope behind Wan Jinlan to protect her.

After going up the cliff, Wan Jinlan let go of her anger, and suddenly felt pain everywhere in her body.

Both Shen Qing and the old lady were waiting in the carriage, the old lady was holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, her brows were tightly furrowed.

It wasn't until Wan Jinlan came up that she let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing her daughter's embarrassment, Shen Qing felt distressed and wanted to teach her a lesson.

The third aunt Gu said happily: "Lan Niang came up safely, I said that Lan Niang is auspicious and has her own destiny."

As the youngest daughter-in-law of the Duke's family, Gu's family background is not the best, but she is also an official family. Compared with Shen Qing, who was born in a merchant's family and got a title by donating money, she has always been a little arrogant in her heart. .

Shen Qing's background is not as good as hers, but she has become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wan family. After so many years, she will inevitably join forces with her second sister-in-law Lin to exclude Shen.

But today, she heard Brother Heng and Yu Niang talk about today's adventure, and knew that if Lan Niang hadn't helped her, her Brother Heng wouldn't have known what would have happened.

In Gu's heart, she was naturally grateful, even looking at Shen, she became pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Minghuan had also been waiting here and did not leave. At this moment, he stepped forward with a worried expression on his face: "Cousin Lan is fine, I can rest assured."

Wan Jinlan asked, "What about the man in black with his face covered?"

Xiao Minghuan's heart skipped a beat, but his face was steady because he saw the impaled corpse halfway up the mountain.

He wasn't worried about what Wan Jinlan knew from that mouth.

He and Wan Zhijing risked their lives before, because they wanted to strike first, and it would save him from doing it again after the person died.

"That man had poison in his mouth, and he committed suicide not long after he was caught." Xiao Minghuan looked worried.

Wan Jinlan sneered inwardly.

She didn't need the masked men to live to point out anything, she concluded that the two masked men had something to do with Xiao Minghuan.

The hero saves the beauty and ruins her name.

If she fell down with Xiao Minghuan today, she would survive the catastrophe, but she would be alone at the bottom of the cliff.

If the rumors spread again, people in the world would not think that they were all off the cliff, injured and unable to do anything, they would only say that the two of them stayed together for a few hours, it was not clear.

Once the wind spreads, how can she say kiss?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Minghuan looked gentle and polite on the surface, but he was so unscrupulous in his actions.

The gate of the city has been closed, and the carriage from the mansion is heading for Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs.

After he settled down, he asked the doctor on Zhuangzi to check his pulse.

After taking off her clothes, she saw the bruises on her body, and there were cuts and bleeding spots. Because of her fair skin, she looked shocking.

Shen Qing was pushing medicinal oil on her swollen ankle.

Wan Jinlan let out a "hiss".

Shen Qing was angry, but his hands relaxed a lot.

Wan Jinlan is also very squeamish when she is squeamish, she doesn't dare to be in front of her father, but with her mother, she is very familiar with being coquettish.

"Mother, I've learned my lesson this time, so don't say it again. Besides, brother Heng's neck was almost wiped, how can I remain indifferent?"

Seeing her mother staring again, Wan Jinlan sincerely continued to admit her mistake until she calmed down her mother's expression.

This time she really realized that she had ventured in, and there were explosives in the cave, and she still had a chill down her spine just thinking about it.

Seeing that her mother's expression softened a bit, she explained everything she had seen and heard about the letter she received and what she saw and heard when she descended the cliff and entered the bottom of the mountain today.

Needless to say, Shen Qing's expression that had just calmed down was pulled back again.

Wan Jinlan promised again and again that she would never dare again.

Just this time, she felt that Xiao Minghuan was an unscrupulous person, and she had to be more vigilant in the future.

Seeing that her mother was about to teach her again, she hurriedly diverted her attention.

"Mother, if today is a situation set up by the third prince, then there must be someone in our house who informed him. This person has to follow up the mountain in the past two days."

Shen Qing has been in charge of the family for many years, and her mind has been tempered a lot by the old lady, so she can naturally think of this level.

"Mother, go talk to grandma and father about what happened today, and just let Chuntao come in to serve you."

Mother, go away, I really don't want to be taught a lesson again.
