Chapter 337: The Whole Family's Darling

At this moment, Lu Yuanfeng had only one thought in mind—to slay this dragon!

"Older Brother, let me do it."

Meng Qianqian reached out to take the medicine bottle.

Celestial Dragon said, "It's fine. I've been doing this on my own for years anyway."

Lu Yuanfeng: "You'll die if you don't play the victim, right?"

Celestial Dragon said to Lu Yuanfeng, "You were harsh to me, but you can't be harsh to her anymore."

Lu Yuanfeng's blade trembled slightly.

Meng Qianqian treated Celestial Dragon's injuries, wrapped his wounds with gauze, and reminded him not to let the wound get wet or handle any weapons.

Lu Yuanfeng huffed, "It's not like it's his first time getting injured. Why is he acting so fragile?"

It was just a minor superficial wound, and his bones weren't even broken!

Celestial Dragon immediately said, "This little thing is no problem."

Meng Qianqian tied the gauze, "How can it be no problem? Don't I know you well enough? You never take care of yourself, always treating your injuries lightly."

Lu Yuanfeng: "Meng Xiaojiu, I was also injured."

Meng Qianqian blinked, "Heartache?"

Lu Yuanfeng: "..."

This round with his brother-in-law was a complete defeat.

All the way back to the main courtyard, Lu Yuanfeng's face remained dark.

Meng Qianqian smiled awkwardly, "Husband, sit down, I'll treat your wound."

Lu Yuanfeng spoke in a cold voice, "I, as the Grand Marshal, am not worthy of having wounds!"

Meng Qianqian grabbed his arm, "I was wrong, I was wrong. To avoid hurting me, you severed your meridians, and your internal injuries haven't fully healed."

Lu Yuanfeng coldly humphed, "Hmph."

Meng Qianqian pulled him to sit on the stool, took out a silver needle, rolled up his right sleeve, and gently blew on his wrist, "I'll be gentle, it won't hurt at all."

Lu Yuanfeng: "Note that down."

Meng Qianqian's body trembled.

Another note?

When will this end?

"Do you have an opinion?"

"Xiaojiu dares not."

Meng Qianqian muttered as she began to treat Lu Yuanfeng with acupuncture.

Thinking of something, she asked, "What did you talk about with Older Brother? When I went in, he looked so conflicted."

Lu Yuanfeng glanced at her, "Since you saw it, why not ask him directly?"

Meng Qianqian sighed, "It's obvious he doesn't want to talk about it, and I don't want to pressure him."

Lu Yuanfeng knew she was as perceptive as a hair, and some things couldn't be hidden from her. Moreover, there was no need to conceal it.

Lu Yuanfeng shared the content of his conversation with Celestial Dragon.

Meng Qianqian was surprised, "You mean Older Brother found new evidence and plans to use it to negotiate with Chancellor Xun?"

Lu Yuanfeng said, "Whether the evidence was found by Celestial Dragon or not is unknown."

Meng Qianqian murmured, "There was another person in the secret passage who helped Older Brother? Finding the evidence was him, giving Older Brother the idea to negotiate with the Chancellor was him, including telling Older Brother not to give the evidence to you, not even letting you see it, to prevent the Chancellor from finding out. This person... truly understands Older Brother."

Chancellor Xun dared to use Celestial Dragon because Celestial Dragon had a simple mind. Once his weakness was grasped, he could be completely controlled.

Lu Yuanfeng continued, "I even suspect that the words he spoke were also helped by that person."

"Why?" Meng Qianqian asked.

Lu Yuanfeng said expressionlessly, "Celestial Dragon doesn't have the brains. That guy clearly traded his brains for martial arts."

Meng Qianqian: "Are you praising my brother or insulting him?"

"Is it the person who was following us in the secret passage?" She asked.

She remembered that when they entered the secret chamber to search for evidence, Lu Yuanfeng had shot a flying dagger outside.

Later, when they chased after him, they didn't see anyone.

Lu Yuanfeng said, "It's most likely him."

Meng Qianqian didn't see it, but Lu Yuanfeng had clearly glimpsed a figure in the wolf urine. He was certain someone was following them.

However, the person seemed to have no ill intentions, so he didn't pursue them.

"Speaking of this, I also met someone during the Autumn Hunt."

Meng Qianqian told him about falling off the cliff and being shot with a hidden arrow, and how someone had come to her aid.

"Although the second time I only saw footprints, I feel it was the same person. Unfortunately, his face and voice ruined, I couldn't recognize who he was.

Lu Yuan reflected for a moment and analyzed, "The first time I saved you could be a coincidence since I happened to be passing by. But the second time, it's likely that he was following you."

Meng Qianqian nodded in agreement, "You mean, could he be the Twelve Guard that 'Lin Wan'er' was waiting for? Was it him who informed 'Lin Wan'er' about Hai Zhu's betrayal, and also gave the box with the concealed poetry lock to 'Lin Wan'er'? I've been wondering why it was an empty box. Until I saw the same lock in the secret chamber of the Chancellor's Mansion, I suspected that he was hinting to us that the Chancellor's evidence of guilt was hidden in the box with the concealed poetry lock."

Lu Yuan hummed in agreement, "In that case, the evidence in Celestial Dragon's hands must have been found in the poem lock box as well."

Meng Qianqian hesitated, "It seems that it's not something my brother could have done on his own."

At this point, Meng Qianqian suddenly realized something and looked at Lu Yuan in shock, "Wait, did you intentionally leave Celestial Dragon alone in the secret passage?"

Lu Yuan didn't deny it.

Meng Qianqian widened her eyes, "So it's true..."

Lu Yuan spoke with a light and carefree tone, "If Celestial Dragon wasn't left behind, how could we lure him out? He can't get out on his own, and he won't keep Celestial Dragon trapped in the secret passage forever."

Meng Qianqian asked, "What if he refuses to show up?"

Lu Yuan replied, "Celestial Dragon may not be good at scheming, but his martial arts skills are top-notch. Sooner or later, he'll discover that there's someone else in the secret passage."

Meng Qianqian sighed in admiration, "It's a foolproof plan."

Thankfully, he's my employer and not my enemy. Look at how meticulously he thinks!

Lu Yuan continued, "For now, it seems he also wants to bring down the Chancellor. We don't need to insist on him showing up."

Meng Qianqian nodded again, "I just want to know which of the Twelve Guards he is, and why he won't meet us?"

Lu Yuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, "With his appearance and voice ruined, if I were him, I wouldn't want to meet people from my past either."

Bai Yuwei had a nightmare and was startled awake before coming to find Meng Qianqian.

After treating Lu Yuan's injuries, Meng Qianqian went to Bai Yuwei's room.

To her surprise, the young girl was not in her bed.

Nursemaid Wan pointed to Tan Er's room.

Meng Qianqian pushed open the door and saw the two girls, who were always bickering, sleeping soundly with their heads together.

They were just children.

Meng Qianqian smiled and walked over quietly. She tucked them in and folded the corners of their blankets.

She touched the back of their necks to check for sweat, then lowered the curtain and left the room.

As soon as she stepped into the corridor, she saw Nursemaid Li and Nursemaid Wan.

She asked curiously, "Nursemaid, Nursemaid Wan, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Nursemaid Li replied, "Go to sleep, Miss. We'll keep an eye on the young master."

Meng Qianqian glanced at the small kitchen, which was brightly lit. Lady Du and Hu Mumu were busy at the stove.

Meng Qianqian joked, "He has people from the manor taking care of him. You're my attendants, you don't need to serve him."

Nursemaid Li spoke sternly, "You shouldn't say that!"

Meng Qianqian laughed, "Alright, alright, he's the favorite. But come to think of it, Nursemaid, you didn't used to be so supportive of him."

Nursemaid Li said, "When have I not supported the young master? He's much more sensible than Miss."

Meng Qianqian: Well, it seems she's being rejected.

Meng Qianqian had been busy all day and fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

Someone was still waiting for her to repay her debt. She turned her head, and his breathing was already even.

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

Meng Qianqian woke up from her sleep.

As she opened her eyes, she saw him sitting cross-legged in front of her, his arms folded, and sporting a pair of huge dark circles under his eyes.

"Meng Xiaojiu."

"Hmm..."

She rubbed her eyes sleepily.

Lu Yuan said firmly, "Repay the debt! After collecting the debt, I'll go to court!"

An early update!
