Chapter 17: Thorn Eight
Hou Jian came at dawn with four men and a smile.
Wanqing was in the court garden, grinding bark in a stone bowl, when the gate banged open.
He wore his gold-trimmed blue robe, and the little rings on his ponytail rang as he strode in.
"Executor's order," he said cheerfully. "The heir's new chair must be inspected for poison.
"By a man of the sect, since the heir's wife can't be trusted."
"Inspect it from outside the gate," she said.
"Move aside, Madam Su."
She did not move.
One of his men took her by the shoulder and walked her sideways.
The workshop shed stood behind the pond.
Inside, Yuhang was bent over the climbing chair with a brush in his hand and a drawn plate laid across his knees.
He looked up as the shed door slammed open.
"Jian," he said mildly. "You've no manners and no warrant."
"I have my father's seal."
Jian looked at the chair with a curl of his lip.
"A toy. Heirs climb. Break it."
The nearest man drew a sword and swung it down at the plate.
Bao came out of nowhere.
He had a pot of water in one hand, and he dropped it and stepped across the plate with both arms spread.
