Chapter 415 The Masked Man Appears Suddenly
Chapter 415 The Masked Man Appears Suddenly
After Ye Yin left, Su Nuan felt depressed for a while, and kept thinking about the scene of Mu Yunting coming out of Furong Courtyard wearing a middle-length robe.
Under what circumstances would you only wear a middle shirt?
What did he do with Dong Jingshu?
The imagination had wings and flew farther and farther, and restricted images emerged one after another in Su Nuan's mind.
I had no choice but to take out a pen and paper and draw.
In the past, when my mind was in a mess, I could calm down by drawing. But today, it was not the same. I couldn't put the pen down for a long time and I kept feeling suffocated in my chest.
So I walked out of the room to breathe some fresh air.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the Lanyue Pavilion.
At this moment in the Lanyue Pavilion, Mu Yunting was sitting in front of the window thinking about something.
His cheek, which had been kissed by Dong Jingshu last night, was still red and swollen. Doctor Yao warned that medicine for treating colds and medicine for removing rashes should not be used at the same time, so he could only maintain this horrifying appearance.
The charcoal pot beside him was burning fiercely. Mu Yunting felt the heat was oppressive and opened the window to get some fresh air.
Then, he saw Su Nuan standing not far away.
The two of them unexpectedly bumped into each other's eyes.
Mu Yunting was surprised and a smile appeared on his face.
Su Nuan was not in such a good mood. Seeing Mu Yunting's red and swollen face, the scene that had disappeared from her mind came back again. She was really angry, angry at herself for not being good enough and running to see him.
She didn't want to look at Mu Yunting's face for even a moment, so she turned around and left.
Mu Yunting was still grinning foolishly, and his first reaction when he saw someone leaving was to chase after him.
But as soon as he stepped out of the room, he was stopped by Doctor Yao.
"Where are you going, Your Highness?"
"Go out for a walk."
Imperial Physician Yao didn't believe this. When he first arrived, he happened to see the Crown Prince and Concubine Xia looking at each other through the window, so he said, "Your Highness, your cold hasn't healed yet. Be careful not to pass on your illness to Concubine Xia."
"is it so serious?"
Mu Yunting asked with some hopelessness.
"Yes." Imperial Physician Yao gave an extremely affirmative answer, "Concubine Xia's health has just improved. She must not catch a cold in the next two months, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Seeing that he was serious, Mu Yunting gave up the idea of chasing after him.
Looking at Su Nuan again, she felt even more depressed after this trip, and was also unhappy when she returned to Duiyueju.
"Miss, something happened to Shopkeeper Chen!"
"What happened?"
Su Nuan asked hurriedly.
Xiao Bai replied, "Today, Duobao Pavilion sold a lot of jewelry, and Shopkeeper Chen received a lot of money. He was very happy and wanted to share this good news with you, young lady. But on the way to the Prince's Mansion, he was robbed by criminals."
"How are people?"
Su Nuan asked anxiously, and then added, "Where's the silver?"
"He's fine, just a little frightened. Silver..."
Su Nuan was relieved to hear that the person was fine, but her heart was in suspense again when she heard Yin Zi's pause. "How is Yin Zi? Tell me quickly."
"The money is still with Shopkeeper Chen. Miss, you should go meet him in person."
Su Nuan couldn't sit still any longer and hurried to see Shopkeeper Chen.
When the two met, Shopkeeper Chen was still trembling and his face was extremely pale.
"Boss, I almost didn't see you. I was so scared."
Shopkeeper Chen said while wiping his tears.
"Don't be afraid, you are safe now."
Su Nuan comforted him, "Why don't you drink a cup of hot tea first, calm yourself down, and then tell me in detail what happened."
After saying that, she asked someone to serve Manager Chen a cup of hot tea.
Shopkeeper Chen held the teacup and drank it in small sips. Su Nuan was anxious to know the whole story, but seeing that Shopkeeper Chen was terribly scared, she did not rush him and just waited for him to calm down.
After a lot of effort, Shopkeeper Chen finished the cup of hot tea. He felt much better and then he slowly began to talk about what happened today.
The income of Duobao Pavilion today is comparable to that of the day when Ruiyin Building reopened. Manager Chen was very happy and hurried to report the good news to his boss. He hurried to the Prince's Mansion with the silver bills he received today, but when he walked into a dark alley, he was stopped by a man in black.
The man came up and asked for the banknotes. Shopkeeper Chen thought it was just an ordinary robbery and tremblingly took out his purse and handed it to the man. As a result, the man threw the purse on the ground and said, "You want to get rid of me for a few taels of silver? It's ridiculous. I think you don't want to live anymore."
After saying this, he drew his sword and stabbed Shopkeeper Chen.
Shopkeeper Chen was terrified. His first reaction was to give the banknote to the other party, so he begged for mercy: "Master, spare my life. I will give you the banknote."
"Humph, it's too late to give it to me now. I'm telling you, whether you give me the banknote today or not, I'll take your life."
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Chen stood up and was about to run away.
But how could a man who didn't know martial arts run faster than the villain who did? He had just taken two steps when the sword behind him cut his clothes.
This frightened Manager Chen so much that he almost fainted.
Seeing the second sword of the villain thrust out, Shopkeeper Chen had no way to avoid it. Suddenly, a masked man appeared, blocked the sword of the villain and saved Shopkeeper Chen.
Then the masked man started fighting with the criminals.
Taking this opportunity, Shopkeeper Chen quickly escaped.
After hearing this, Su Nuan asked, "Did the robber who robbed you wear a mask?"
Shopkeeper Chen shook his head.
The criminals were not wearing masks, but the rescuers had to wear masks. There were only two possibilities: one was that Shopkeeper Chen recognized the man, and the other was that the man knew the criminal.
It is hard to judge which situation it is.
Su Nuan asked Shopkeeper Chen: "Do you recognize that masked man?"
Shopkeeper Chen shook his head repeatedly, "I was so scared at the time that I didn't dare to look at those two people. Even if I knew them, I might not be able to tell what they were."
Su Nuan thought about it and it made sense. When Manager Chen saw her, he was so scared. He would have been even more scared at that time. In that situation, even people who knew her might not have recognized her.
