After falling into the water, I robbed the future first assistant of the marriage!

Chapter 123 Did I Wake You Up?
The two were talking softly, and soon, sleepiness struck.

A long night without dreams, a night of dawn.

Early the next morning, Shen Tu was about to send Qin Sa to take Hongyan to the ferry to board a cargo ship to Yangzhou.

"Ma'am." Qin Sa said, "That man is guarding outside the gate of Xiao's residence."

"Leave through the side door and bypass the main door." Shen Tu didn't panic.

"Yes, ma'am."

After giving Qin Sa the order, she said to Qiqiao again, "Qiqiao, follow me to Buzhuang."

A batch of materials came from Yangzhou yesterday, and she is going to the warehouse to count them today.

After stepping out of the gate of the mansion, as Qin Sa said, the man was guarding outside the gate of Xiao's mansion.

She pretended not to see him and walked past him.

The man sat crookedly beside the stone lion outside the gate of the mansion, and when he saw Shen Tu, he didn't make a sound.

When Qiqiao saw him, she became frightened, just thinking that he would disappear from her eyes soon.

The man guarded outside the gate of Xiao's mansion for three days and three nights, but he didn't see Hongyan, and he lost his composure.

He stood up and knocked on the gate of Xiao Mansion.

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for your wife."

"Which lady of our family are you looking for?"

"The fifth girl of the Qi family, the eldest son's wife."

The servant stared at him vigilantly, "What do you want to do with our son and wife?"

After three days and three nights of guarding, the man was already impatient, "Hurry up and ask her to return my wife to me."

"What kind of lady? My wife doesn't recognize your kind of lady." Saying that, the servant was about to close the door.

The man immediately blocked it with his hand, trying to break in.

The man's strength was so great that the servant couldn't hold back, so he let him break in anyway.

While chasing him, the boy shouted, "Come on, catch him."

The boy shouted, and the other boys immediately chased after the man.

Shen Tu made some bean paste cakes today and sent some to Mrs. Xiao.

On the way back, I heard the shouts of the boys.

Before she could understand what was going on, she was grabbed by a pair of dirty black hands, and then a dagger was pressed against her neck.

The boys stopped immediately, not daring to go forward.

Qiqiao slowed down after being frightened, and shouted at the man, "Let go of our wife quickly."

The man backed away with Shen Tu in his arms, and the pointed end of the dagger pierced Shen Tu's neck.

"Give me back my wife." The man shouted in Shen Cu's ear.

Shen Tu was also afraid of provoking him and then slashed down, but she couldn't panic, "I've never seen your wife, so I don't know who your wife is."

"My wife is Hongyan, she was originally a maid in your servant's mansion." The man shouted.

"Hongyan ran away from the servant's mansion a long time ago, and the second sister has been looking for her for a long time."

The man yelled, "You're lying."

"Why should I lie," Shen Tu said, enduring the pain and fear in her neck, "After leaving the Shi Lang's mansion, she will no longer be a maid in my Qi mansion, and has nothing to do with my man's mansion."

The man still didn't believe it, "You lied, you even talked to her that day."

"That day? What day?" Shen Tu pretended not to know.

"I was begging with her by the Nanyuan Bridge that day, and you talked to her."

Didn't Qiqiao dismiss him?Why did he know that she had spoken to Hongyan.

"Begging?" Shen Tu suppressed the panic in his heart, "A few days ago I did talk to a beggar who was begging on the side of the road. It was nothing more than looking at her and losing a few pennies to her."

The man was a little shaken, "Are you serious about what you said?"

Shen Tu pretended not to care and said, "Why should I lie to you? A girl who escaped, what does it matter to me?"

The man's dagger on her neck loosened, "Then where did my wife go?"

"I'm going to ask you this. Your wife came to ask me for it after losing it. What's the point?"

The man seemed a little distracted by Shen Tu's words, and suddenly the dagger fell to the ground, and an arrow pierced the back of the man's hand.

The man let go, and Shen Tu quickly ran forward.

Seeing this, the boys immediately rushed forward and subdued the man to the ground.

The place where the dagger was touched was already bleeding, Qiqiao panicked, Shen Cu comforted her that it would be fine.

"Go and call the doctor." A voice suddenly came from behind her. She turned her head and saw that it was Xiao Shiyi, who was still holding a bow and arrow.

He must have shot the arrow just now.

Xiao Shiyi walked to Shen Tu's side and asked, "Is sister-in-law okay?"

Shen Tu replied, "Nothing."

Xiao Shiyi also saw the blood on her neck, "Is your sister-in-law bleeding?"

"Skin trauma, no problem." After finishing speaking, she continued, "Thank you just now."

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to be polite." Xiao Shili put away his bow and arrows, "It's better to call the doctor to show sister-in-law."

"I've gone to call the doctor." Qiqiao said aside.

After all, Xiao Shiyi reprimanded his servants again, blaming them for not being good at the door.

Shen Tu didn't speak, and the place where the dagger was cut was obviously painful.

After the doctor came to see, it was indeed all right, the dagger was so sharp that it pierced the skin of the neck.

After applying the medicine, Shen Tu fell asleep.

Xiao Shilian didn't know what happened today until he returned home, so he hurried back.

"Where's A Yi?" He asked Qiqiao.

"Miss has fallen asleep and hasn't woken up yet." Qiqiao replied.

Xiao Shilian walked towards the back room without stopping.

Xu Shi was quite frightened today, and her brows were still frowning when she fell asleep.

Qin Sa said that she was held hostage by the man with a dagger, and the dagger pierced her neck, but the doctor bandaged the wound so he couldn't see it.

"Why are you frowning so tightly?" He reached out and stroked her brows gently.

He moved very lightly, but still woke her up.

His voice was soft, "Did I wake you up?"

She wanted to sit up, but when she tried hard, the punctured ground hurt.

Xiao Shilian also found out, and he quickly reached out to support her, "What's wrong? Does the wound hurt?"

As soon as he asked this, her eyes became hot, and the grievances and fears of the day flooded in like a tide.

She cried suddenly, which made him at a loss.

He didn't dare to touch her wound, so he could only ask her, "Is it painful?"

She didn't speak, but tears fell down in big drops, and he panicked.

"Is it very painful? I'll call the doctor, don't be afraid, Ah Yi."

Xiao Shilian was about to get up and go outside to call for someone, but Shen Tu grabbed his hand.

"What's the matter, Ah Yi?" He held her hand instead, and comforted her, "I won't go, I'll ask Qin Sa to call the doctor."

Shen Tu shook his head.

"Isn't Ah Ye in pain?" He said softly, "Let the doctor come and show Ah Ye."

Shen Tu still shook his head.

"You don't need to call the doctor." She said in an aggrieved voice.

Xiao Shilian was worried, and still wanted to call the doctor, but he couldn't leave here either.

"A Yi." He called her, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips.

"Scary today, huh?"

He stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms, "It's all because I'm not in the mansion today, which caused you to be held hostage and injured."

"It's not your fault." His voice was muffled because he had cried.

"I promise, such a thing will never happen again." He pressed his forehead and assured her.
