reborn princess

Chapter 467
Xuan Chen glanced at them lightly, then entered the east room, and saw that the room was in a mess, several young women dressed in colorful clothes gathered around the edge of the kang, crying miserably with handkerchiefs in their hands, almost There were also four children crying around there.

There was a person lying on the kang, but because they surrounded them, they couldn't see their faces.

"Shut up!" Xuan Chen drank heavily, and immediately frightened the women so much that they didn't dare to cry anymore.

Seeing a man barging in, the aunts wanted to hide, but Xuan Chen happened to be standing at the door, blocking the way, so the aunts had to stand aside timidly.

He heard a weak voice from Kang, "Is Brother Chen here?"

"It's me!" Xuan Chen replied, his cold eyes glanced at the aunts, walked in, stood on the edge of the kang and said in a deep voice. "You guys, get out!"

Those aunts lined up and walked out nonchalantly.

Several nannies also came over and picked up Bailijian's children and took them out.

Bailijian's wife, surnamed Mu, was a lady of great family, but she was generous. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, carefully identified him, and then saluted him: "I have met the prince!"

"You don't need to be too polite, cousin sister-in-law!"

Xuan Chen then sat sideways on the edge of the kang, looked down at Bailijian lying on the kang, and saw that Bailijian's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, obviously he had been beaten severely, but luckily he was still awake.

"What's going on?" He asked, reaching out his hand to feel Bailijian's pulse.

"I don't know..." Mu Shi cried. "Last night, Xianggong rested in Aunt Zhen's room, and I went to bed early. In the middle of the night, someone called me up, saying that Xianggong broke into Aunt Sun's room with the intention of being rude to Aunt Sun. When my father found out, he beat up Xianggong. He also locked us up and didn’t allow anyone to invite a doctor for Xianggong.”

Bailijian endured the pain in his body, and said with a smile: "My father is really old and confused, my wife is so beautiful, and the aunts are also in their prime, will they fall in love with that old man?"

Xuan Chen asked: "Did you drink last night?"

Mrs. Mu replied from the side: "My husband didn't drink last night, so he went to rest the next day."

Xuan Chen thought for a while, then asked again: "Then what time did you sleep last night?"

Bailijian was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully, but found that he couldn't remember, "I don't remember either, it seems that I fell asleep without saying a few words."

"Did you fall asleep without saying a few words?" Xuan Chen's tone showed a trace of surprise, and the implication made Mu Shi who was standing aside blush.

Baili Jian thought for a while, and said with a slightly unhappy face, "Last night, I was so sleepy that I couldn't keep my eyes open after drinking a cup of tea."

Xuan Chen frowned slightly, "Are you sleepy from the beginning, or did you get sleepy after you arrived at Aunt Zhen's place?"

Baili Jian was taken aback, looked at Xuan Chen in disbelief and said, "You mean..."

"I don't mean anything, everything is just speculation!" Xuan Chen hugged his shoulders and looked at him, with a trace of solemnity in his eyes. "Cousin-in-law is a virtuous woman, she depends on you in everything, but look at what you have done? Having too many women is a disaster, don't you still understand?"

Bailijian was a little embarrassed, "Okay, I got it!"

The corner of Xuan Chen's mouth twitched, he turned his face and asked Mu, "Last night, when did you say that my cousin was in Aunt Sun's room?"

Mrs. Mu thought about it carefully, and before she could speak, she heard the maidservant who was serving her say: "Grandma, when Madam sent someone to call the door last night, it was the first quarter of the second watch. At that time, the servant girl heard the drum beeping. At that time, the servants were still awake, they were doing needlework, keeping an eye on the time, and just fell asleep when they heard the drumming."

Xuan Chen asked again: "Then think about it, when did my cousin go to Aunt Zhen's place? I want the specific time!"

"It's a quarter to two!" It was the servant girl who spoke, and as the servant girl spoke, a hint of anger appeared on her oval face. "At that time, our uncle wanted to stay with grandma, but Mo Yu in Aunt Zhen's room said that Aunt Zhen was not feeling well, so I asked my uncle to go over and have a look, and then my uncle went over."

Xuan Chen lowered his head to calculate, then looked down at Bailijian, "In other words, there is only less than two quarters of an hour. During these two quarters of an hour, you were knocked out and carried to Aunt Sun's room!"

Hearing this, Baili Jian could not help but narrow his eyes, "You mean..."

Xuan Chen ignored him, but thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Cousin, take me to Aunt Zhen's room to have a look!"

Mrs. Mu couldn't help asking: "My lord, you don't think that..."

Xuan Chen waved his hand, "Everything is speculation, don't jump to conclusions!"

The Mu family didn't say anything anymore, but begged: "My lord, can you please get a doctor for my husband first? He is really hurt very badly?"

Xuan Chen nodded, turned around and came out, came to the yard, whistled, Wu Ming appeared in front of him in a moment, he sent Wu Ming to invite the doctor, and then followed Mu to the small courtyard of this yard, Several aunts of Bailijian live here.

Mrs. Mu led Xuan Chen into the west wing, but saw that the doors and windows of the west wing were wide open, and the room was chilly.

Xuan Chen frowned slightly.

A pretty woman in a water-red long coat and a pink embroidered skirt was fidgeting and walking around the room. When she saw the two of them coming in, she couldn't help being startled, her face changed hair and color, "Sister, why don't you?" coming?"

Mrs. Mu frowned, and said, "Why do you have doors and windows open in this room?"

"Ah..." Aunt Zhen exclaimed, with a handkerchief twisted in her hands, a forced smile appeared on her face. "Look at my memory. I ordered the maids to open the windows every morning to let the air in. But last night something happened to the uncle. I think the maids opened the windows and forgot to close them."

As she spoke, she opened her voice and shouted: "Mo Yu, why don't you close the window quickly, why am I so cold these days?"

A little servant girl hurried in and closed the window without saying a word.

Xuan Chen sniffled, and looked at Aunt Zhen with a half-smile, "The smell in Aunt Zhen's room is quite nice, what kind of incense are you burning?"

Aunt Zhen's expression tightened immediately, "It's just... just ordinary sandalwood, I'm just an aunt, so where can I use good incense?"

Mu Clan took a deep look at her.

Xuan Chen smiled faintly, "You mean, grandma isn't virtuous enough, she doesn't even want to give you an incense stick?"

"No...that's not what I meant..." Aunt Zhen hurriedly smiled at Mrs. Mu. "Sister, please don't get me wrong. My sister really doesn't mean that. I just want to say that my status is low..."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything, I know what you mean." Mu Shi said lightly, stopping her defense.

Xuan Chen smiled and said: "I want to ask you a question, last night, when did you fall asleep? And when did you find out that my cousin disappeared?"

"I... I don't remember either. Later, I heard the noise outside and found out that the uncle was gone after waking up." Aunt Zhen stammered.

"Then last night, my cousin was with you..." Xuan Chen smiled wickedly. "You know what I mean, so don't make me say it plainly!"

Mu's face turned red, and he quickly lowered his head, a little embarrassed to listen.

Aunt Zhen's face also turned red, "Uh...Yesterday the uncle said he was a little tired, so he went to rest early!"

Xuan Chen stared straight at her and said, "What about you? You also rest in peace?"

"Ah?" Aunt Zhen raised her eyes and glanced at him in surprise, as if realizing her gaffe, she quickly lowered her head and said. "Yes, I... I also rest in peace!"

"Oh... you have rested in peace too!" Xuan Chen gave her a deep look, "I heard that you were unwell last night? Where did you feel unwell? Do you want me to ask the imperial physician to take a look at you?"

"Just... just a little headache..." Aunt Zhen hesitated.

"Headache..." Xuan Chen nodded meaningfully, and then said to Mu Shi. "Cousin, let's go back!"

Mrs. Mu went back to Mrs. Mu's room together with her. The third lady of Baili who had been washed and washed had already come, accompanied by Xuan Yirou and others. After entering the door, she sat on the edge of the kang and began to cry for her son.

Baili Jian felt helpless, "Mother, I'm not dead yet!"

Mrs. Mu said softly at the side: "Master, mother is also worried about you, don't talk to mother like that." After speaking, he persuaded Mrs. Baili. "Mother, don't cry, if you hurt your eyes, the husband will feel bad."

Xuan Chen said with a smile: "Third aunt, don't worry, we are all on your side and will not let you be wronged. We will definitely get this justice back!"

Only then did Mrs. Baili San gradually stop crying.

Shen Weilan felt a little embarrassed, she was an outsider after all, she should avoid such things, so she winked at Xuan Chen, turned and went to the main room.

Xuan Chen came out and asked, "What's the matter?"

She hesitated and said, "Why don't I go back first, I'm an outsider after all, it's not convenient to stay here!"

"What nonsense? You are my fiancée, how can you be considered an outsider?" Xuan Chen held her hand involuntarily, with a displeased expression on his face.

"But..." Shen Weilan hesitated for a moment, and wanted to say something more, but Xuan Chen didn't give her a chance to speak, but pulled her into the east room.

Everyone waited for about half an hour before the doctor came, and Xuan Chen called him "Second Uncle". It turned out that this was Xuan Chen's uncle who was an imperial physician.

He also came with a very beautiful woman, Xuan Chen's second aunt Bai Liyun.

The imperial doctor Zhu drove everyone out, leaving only Mrs. Mu to help, and then began to treat Bailijian's injuries.

Everyone was sitting and waiting in the main room outside. Bailiyun asked in a low voice what was going on. Before the result came out, Xuan Yu carefully helped Bailiyao walk in from the outside, looking at no one in sight. Put Bailiyao to sit on the top seat, and then told the maids in the room, "Go and bring a bowl of ginger tea!"
