The Return of the Demon

Chapter 412 The Woman Who Came to the Door

Ning Chen nodded slightly. Yudie was right. It was easier to pretend to be stupid than to pretend to be smart.

But it was not easy for a person to pretend to be stupid for more than ten years. It required great perseverance.

He decided to focus on the fifth prince.

Ning Chen ate something, drank a bowl of Yangyuan Jiuyang Soup, and then took a bath and went to bed with Yudie's help.

In the second half of the night, Ning Chen felt sorry for Yudie's body, so he stopped. He was about to go to bed with her in his arms when Uncle Chai's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Fourth Young Master, are you asleep?"

Ning Chen responded, got up and put on a coat and went outside... Because if there was nothing important at this time, Uncle Chai would not disturb him.

Seeing Ning Chen coming out, Uncle Chai hurriedly said, "Fourth Young Master, come and take a look."

Ning Chen followed Uncle Chai to a guest room with a puzzled look on his face.

There was a faint smell of medicine in the room.

On the bed inside, a beautiful but pale woman lay.

Gu Yichun was standing by.

Ning Chen was a little confused, "Who is she?"

Gu Yichun hurriedly said, "Someone left her at the door."

"Who left it?"

Gu Yichun shook his head, "Someone rang the door knocker. After we went out, we didn't see anyone else. We only saw this girl lying at the door injured."

Ning Chen was full of surprise. He was now a new noble in the court. Many people gave him gifts, but it was the first time to send him an injured woman.

Ning Chen asked, "Has her injury been treated?"

Gu Yichun nodded, "Her wound has been treated."

Ning Chen thought for a moment and said, "Get a doctor for her...Send someone to take care of her. Notify me when she wakes up."

Gu Yichun leaned over, "Yes!"

The next morning, Gu Yichun came to report that the woman had woken up.

"Let's go and see!"

"Yudie, come with us. Women are easy to talk to."

Yudie nodded gently.

She heard Ning Chen say that someone sent an injured woman, and she was also very curious.

On the way, Gu Yichun said, "The doctor said that the girl's wound was an arrow wound. She was lucky that her heart was not injured, so she saved her life."

"Arrow wound?" Ning Chen was a little surprised, "A Jianghu person?"

Gu Yichun shook his head, "She doesn't look like she has martial arts skills."

As they spoke, they arrived at the place.

The woman had woken up, but her face was still pale.

Seeing Ning Chen and others, the woman's expression became obviously panic.

Ning Chen came to the bedside and looked down at her, "Who are you? What's your name?"

The woman's eyes were panicked and she didn't say a word.

Yudie stepped forward and gently comforted, "Don't be afraid, girl, this is the Marquis' Mansion, you are safe now."

The woman's expression was a little stunned.

Yudie pointed at Ning Chen, "This is our Daxuan's Xiaoyao Marquis Ning Chen, he is a good person, you don't have to be afraid."

The woman looked at Ning Chen, and her eyes gradually showed hope, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

She had never seen Ning Chen, but she had heard of Ning Chen's name.

"I am Guan Rongrong, and I am honored to meet the Marquis!"

Ning Chen asked, "Who are you?"

"I am from Cangzhou."

"Why did you appear at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion?"

Guan Rongrong shook her head, "I don't know!"

Ning Chen: "???"

"Where did your injury come from?"

Guan Rongrong seemed to have thought of something terrible? Her face was full of fear.

Yudie whispered, "Miss Rongrong, don't be afraid... This is the Marquis' Mansion, no one can hurt you. If you have any grievances, you can speak out boldly and confidently."

After a long while, Guan Rongrong slowly spoke, "I am from Cangzhou, and was kidnapped and finally sent to the capital."

"Not only me, but there are many people who are locked up in a house for... for people's pleasure."

"When that person gets tired of playing, he will kill us and then replace us with another batch."

Ning Chen's face suddenly darkened.

Yudie and the others were also full of anger.

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "You just mentioned that person... who is that person?"

"I don't know, his subordinates all call him Young Master."

Ning Chen frowned, "Do you know where that house is?"

Guan Rongrong shook her head gently, "I was put into a box and sent in, I only know that the house is very big."

"Then how did you get to the door of the Marquis' Mansion?"

"I don't know! I was shot in the chest by that person with an arrow, and then I didn't know anything. I woke up here again."

Ning Chen frowned slightly.

Yu Die asked softly: "Do you still remember what that person looks like?"

Guan Rongrong nodded, with hatred in her eyes, "Even if he turned into ashes, I still remember him... He is very white and fat, in his twenties, with sparse eyebrows and small eyes. He usually wears gorgeous clothes and should be very powerful."

Ning Chen's eyes flickered, a white fat man in his twenties, with sparse eyebrows and small eyes.

This image reminded him of someone... the fifth prince!

Ning Chen said, "Gu Yichun, go find a painter."

"Ning Lang, let me do it?"

"Hmm?" Ning Chen was surprised, "You have this ability?"

Yudie smiled, "I have some experience in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Ning Chen smiled and nodded.

Yudie asked someone to bring paper and pen, and started to paint according to Guan Rongrong's description.

Ning Chen waved his hand, signaling everyone to wait outside and not to disturb Yudie.

After half an incense stick of time, Yudie came out.

"Done?"

Yudie smiled and nodded, and handed the painting in her hand to Ning Chen, "Miss Rongrong has confirmed it, and she said it was this person."

Ning Chen took the painting, opened it and looked at it, his eyes suddenly shrank.

Immediately, he folded the painting and put it in his arms.

"Gu Yichun, do many people know that Miss Rongrong is in the mansion?"

Gu Yichun hurriedly said: "Miss Rongrong was sent here late at night, and not many people know about it."

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Go and tell them to keep their mouths shut, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Don't leak out what happened to Miss Rongrong in the mansion."

Gu Yichun bowed his head, "Yes!"

"Uncle Chai, send someone to take good care of Miss Rongrong."

"Don't worry, Fourth Master!"

Ning Chen left the Ning Mansion.

He did not ride Diao Chan, but rode an ordinary horse and left from the back door.

......

"Meet the Marquis!"

In a room of Wuyou Escort Agency, Silent bowed and saluted.

Ning Chen waved his hand, "No need to be polite! Did you send the girl to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Silent nodded, and then explained: "If the girl sees me and the Marquis appear at the same time, it will be easy to expose our identities."

"So, we can only send her to the Marquis' Mansion first!"

Ning Chen nodded, "I understand! Where did the girl come from?"

"Outside the city, at the mass grave!"

Ning Chen was slightly startled, "Tell me in detail."

Silent continued: "The Marquis asked me to send someone to keep an eye on the Fifth Prince... My people found that late last night, one of the Fifth Prince's personal guards quietly left the Fifth Prince's Mansion."

"He went around and entered a house... Not long after, he carried out several boxes and transported them to the mass grave outside the city and buried them on the spot."

"My people dug out the boxes, and they were all corpses. One of the girls was still breathing."
