The newcomer was no stranger.
It was Pei Guanli, the very person Chen Yi had entrusted to go to the Wu Mountain Mutual Market and inform Xiao Jinghong that the Three Towns' summer grain supply had been attacked.
He had thought the Tiger Girl wouldn't be back until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he never expected her to come running back now.
It was quite a surprise.
Just then, Pei Guanli lifted her little head and looked at him pitifully. "Brother-in-law, it hurts..."
Chen Yi snapped back to his senses, retracted his Fist Intent, and asked with a smile, "When did you get back?"
"You didn't knock out all the mansion guards to sneak in this time, did you?"
Pei Guanli felt the pressure on her body vanish and immediately scrambled to her feet.
"No, no! Brother-in-law, I was extra careful coming in this time."
Chen Yi looked at Pei Guanli, dressed only in Night Clothes and carrying a bundle, her feet still bare below her knees. He nodded.
"That's good."
