After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 232 Catching the Assassin

If she didn't care, Guo Hongyao would most likely die here.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying jumped down from the roof without hesitation, kicked the door open, and shouted at the female ghost: "How dare you! Get away from him, or I'll make you pay!"

The female ghost in white was naturally unwilling to let go of the fat meat that was about to fall into her mouth, and she fought with Xu Yingying unwillingly.

Xu Yingying showed no mercy to the other party and immediately summoned Camellia.

After a few rounds of fighting, the female ghost in white was covered with wounds from being scratched by Camellia.

When the female ghost in white saw that she was no match for Camellia, she immediately fled away. Before leaving, she took a reluctant look at Guo Hongyao who was lying on the bed.

After all, this is a cooked duck in your mouth!

I didn't expect it to fly again.

After Bai Yi left, Guo Hongyao, who had been unconscious, temporarily recovered and became conscious.

He looked up and saw Xu Yingying, mistakenly thinking that he had left his body again.

"How come... I met... you... again?" Guo Hongyao said hesitantly.

Xu Yingying didn't say any extra words to him. She turned around and took out her secret pill from her pocket.

This pill was made by Xu Yingying for people with unstable souls and weak bodies. It has the effect of strengthening the body and consolidating the soul.

At this moment, the door of Guo Hongyao's room was opened with a creaky sound.

The noise of the fight between Camellia and the female ghost just now successfully attracted the servants of the Xu Mansion.

When the servants rushed in, they saw Xu Yingying sitting beside Guo Hongyao's bed. They mistakenly thought that Xu Yingying was here to hurt Guo Hongyao, so they prepared to arrest her.

But they didn't expect that they would be stopped by Guo Hongyao just as they were about to take action.

Guo Hongyao forced himself to stand up and stopped the servants, saying, "All of you hurry down. I'm fine. This young master is not here to hurt me. She's my friend and she's here to see me."

The servants looked at each other and did not dare to refute Guo Hongyao and retreated silently. After all, he was the master.

However, out of consideration for Guo Hongyao's safety, the servants secretly reported the matter to Grand Tutor Guo.

Guo Hongyao is the apple of Grand Tutor Guo’s eye, and no mistake can be made against him, otherwise their lives will be in danger.

They can't afford the risk.

Xu Yingying felt that it was not a good idea for a single man and a single woman to be in the same room. Secondly, she instinctively felt that she was not safe here, so she decided to slip away.

With Guo Hongyao's reminder, Xu Yingying sneaked out smoothly.

What Xu Yingying didn't expect was that she just happened to stray from the path of Grand Tutor Guo who was rushing over here after receiving the news from the servants.

Li Siqi, who hadn't seen Xu Yingying for a long time, was relieved when he saw Xu Yingying suddenly appear.

"Where have you been?" Li Siqi couldn't help but ask.

Xu Yingying told Li Siqi everything that had just happened to her without missing a word.

Li Siqi's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this. He was still worrying about how to persuade Grand Tutor Guo to defect from the Prince's camp to his own camp.

Now all the problems have been solved. If Xu Yingying can solve the illness of Grand Tutor Guo's son and cure him, it will undoubtedly make Grand Tutor Guo owe her a favor and bring the two closer together.

Upon learning that his son's room had been broken into, Grand Tutor Guo became very nervous. He asked the guards and servants to stop all the guests and was determined to catch the woman who had broken into Guo Hongyao's room without permission.

Xu Yingying was afraid that she would be discovered and would not be able to explain herself, so she quietly hid behind Li Siqi to seek protection, hoping to fish in troubled waters to escape this disaster.

Li Siqi knew the cause of the incident and naturally cooperated with Xu Yingying to cover it up.

The unusual behavior of the two was seen by Li Siming. He saw that Xu Yingying, who was always arrogant and domineering, was hiding behind Li Siqi like a coward, and looked very guilty.

Li Siming instantly understood that the intrusion into Guo Hongyao's room was most likely related to Xu Yingying, so he took the initiative to say, "My ninth brother and his wife have a really good relationship. They are already so close to each other before they even got married."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present turned their attention to Xu Yingying and Li Siqi.

Xu Yingying was exposed in front of everyone in an instant.

At the same time, the servants also recognized that Xu Yingying was the woman who broke into Guo Hongyao's room.

"Sir, the Ninth Prince's fiancée was the one who broke into the young master's room." The servants only recognized Xu Yingying on the spot.

As soon as the words fell, everyone gasped.

Li Siming on the side also looked at Li Siqi and Xu Yingying with schadenfreude, wondering how they were going to end this farce.

Unexpectedly, the originally serious Master Guo actually knelt down in front of Xu Yingying in front of everyone, "Miss Xu, I beg you, please save my son!"

This sudden reversal made everyone stunned and unable to react for a long time.

The incident happened suddenly, and even Li Siming, who was originally prepared to watch the show, was stunned, and the bright smile on his face froze for a moment.

Li Siqi felt that this was a good opportunity to win over Grand Tutor Guo, so he quietly asked Xu Yingying what she thought.

After some discussion, the two decided to agree to Master Guo's request.

"Okay! I'm willing to give it a try." Xu Yingying stood up and said to Master Guo frankly.

When Grand Tutor Guo heard this, he was immediately excited, "Good! Good! Good!"

"Thank you, Miss Xu, Ninth Prince." Grand Tutor Guo bowed deeply to Xu Yingying and Li Siqi.

Then he turned around and announced to everyone, "I declare that from today on, the Ninth Prince and his fiancée are honored guests of our Guo Mansion."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Siming on the side became so angry that his face turned blue.

He originally thought that by finding something useful on Li Siqi and Xu Yingying he could dampen their arrogance, but he never expected that he would end up helping them.

Li Siming's face turned green with anger.

"Ninth brother and Lord Xu are so blessed. I wonder if their good luck can continue like this." Li Siming said to Li Siqi and Xu Yingying with gritted teeth.

"Please don't worry about this matter, my brother. You'd better think about how to please the Emperor." Li Siqi retorted without thinking.

Li Siming glared at Xu Yingying and Li Siqi fiercely, then snorted coldly and left.

Xu Yingying secretly asked Ye Cao to guard Guo Hongyao to prevent any female ghost from sucking his energy again.

Guo Hongyao's body could no longer withstand the torture. If he were to suffer any more, even if a great immortal came, Guo Hongyao would be unable to recover.

After the banquet, Xu Yingying found Master Guo and wanted to learn about Guo Hongyao's past.

"Grandmaster, may I ask if Guo Hongyao's health has always been like this?"

Xu Yingying asked curiously.

Unexpectedly, Grand Tutor Guo nodded and admitted, "Yes, he was like this when he was born. I looked for many famous doctors in the capital, but they couldn't come to a conclusion after treating him. In the end, they attributed the cause to my son being frightened in the womb."
