Shao Linghang sat in the study where Lanxinyuan entered, waiting gloomily and indifferently for the fourth wife to come over. Although the fourth lady couldn't figure out the situation, but those who were not good at coming did not come, she opened the curtain and entered the house with a plain face, sat in the circle chair under Shao Linghang's head without humility or arrogance, and then sent away all the girls in the house who knew the times.

"What are you doing here at night?"

Shao Linghang raised his eyes, "What about the fourth brother?" ”

The fourth lady pursed her lips, "How many times have you seen him when Master Hou has been home these days?" Hou Ye can't see him in such a big show, and I can't see him. If Master Hou came to him, he would be in the wrong place. ”

The matter of the fourth room is not a secret in the house, and for the yin and yang weirdness of the fourth wife, Shao Linghang did not show much affection, "I am here to find the fourth sister-in-law." ”

"Looking for me? It's new. The fourth lady snorted coldly.

Shao Linghang looked at her, took her expression into her eyes at all, and asked, "Fourth sister-in-law doesn't know why I'm here?" ”

The fourth wife is not a person with too many scheming, and without Aunt Ying by her side, her confidence is always insufficient. She thought back to all the holidays with Shao Linghang, and there seemed to be only one thing involving grievances recently. Thinking of that, her expression was a little timid.

"Master Hou won't come to me to settle accounts for that Qin Huai Oiran, right?" The fourth lady looked at him with disdain, "If people don't know unless they do it, what Hou Ye did in Qin Huai didn't hide it, and I am not allowed to say it?" More than half a month has passed, Master Hou can't let it go, and plans to get angry with me? ”

Shao Linghang was stiffened by what she said, and said with a smile: "The fourth sister-in-law can't help but think of me too much." I have something to ask my fourth sister-in-law. ”

The fourth lady looked him up and down in disbelief, "Can Master Hou come to me for something?" ”

Shao Linghang looked at the eyes of the fourth wife, he hoped that things could be made simpler, one made a request, and the other considered the result. If both sides can find a balance in their respective bottom lines, he will readily agree. Of course, the premise of this promise is that the fourth wife really knows Su Ke's whereabouts, even if it is a clue, it is good.

But in the eyes of the fourth wife, except for a little suspicion and suspicion, there is no other arrogance to grasp the secret.

Shao Linghang frowned, "I heard that the fourth sister-in-law has a good relationship with Su Ke?" ”

The fourth lady's face froze visibly, and the pretended composure of the panic was a failure.

But she was still a little shrewd, and knew that the best answer at this time was not to answer, so she asked rhetorically: "I heard about the recent incident, what's the matter, does Master Hou think that Su Ke was instigated by me to not agree to Master Hou?" ”

Shao Linghang's heart tightened, his face showed no traces, and he smiled, "Isn't it?" ”

The fourth lady rolled her eyes, "I have to have the ability to convince her." She still remembered Su Ke's stubborn appearance when she put down the abacus mantra in front of her, if it weren't for Aunt Ying who kept begging for nothing to say that Su Ke was good, she really didn't want to waste her efforts on Su Ke. But later, Aunt Ying came out, not only did many things make sense, but things were also left, so she felt that Su Ke was a little on the road.

However, did Aunt Ying say something at that time?

But all those days have passed......

The fourth wife was a little panicked, raised her eyes and looked at Shao Linghang's face, not wanting the other party to be staring at her carefully. The gaze is straight and makes people shudder.

"Her business really has nothing to do with me, that arrogant look is on her face every day, and at a glance you know that she is not a person who is willing to be a roommate. The old lady can also see it, but it is just used to hang the appetite of the marquis. Her tone paused, and her voice was a little quieter, "Who knew that Hou Ye was really fooled." It shouldn't be. ”

This conversation seems to have been deflected a lot in the direction of Mo Mingming. Shao Linghang's eyebrows frowned slightly, he was afraid that Su Ke would play tricks, and he was worried that the fourth wife would make a move higher.

He was silent for a moment, weighing many things to weigh up, it was better to give it a go. If she dares to break the boat, won't he dare?

"She doesn't want to follow me, but I want her." He said it bluntly.

The fourth lady turned her head to look at him, and the expression on her face became strange, "Master Hou, you came to me at night, is that what you mean about this?" What are you going to do to convince her? Where do you know she's going to listen to me? ”

"Not now, but soon."

"What do you mean?"

Shao Linghang pursed his lips and paused for a long time, and said: "Her brother owes gambling debts and needs money, the Fu family will not give it to her, if I think correctly, she will come to the fourth sister-in-law when she is desperate." ”

The fourth lady raised her eyebrows, and a smile flashed in her eyes, "Does Master Hou want to wait for her to come to me to borrow money, and if she has debts, she will be taken care of by me?" ”

Shao Linghang did not speak.

The fourth lady laughed, "Master Hou didn't do anything to her brother's gambling debts, right?" How much is she's desperate? She's not a person who can handle it lightly. ”

Shao Linghang asked rhetorically: "How much does the fourth sister-in-law think?" ”

"I know that I have money, and if she can find me in desperation, it is estimated that it is not a small amount." The fourth wife glanced at Shao Linghang, "Ten thousand taels? ”

"The fourth sister-in-law is on the same page with this money?"

The fourth lady pouted, "Master Hou left Qin Huai's Oiran and changed his method to ask for a palace maid to be sent out, so he has to be worthy of this number, right?" The end note can't help but be raised.

Shao Linghang remained silent, "If it's this number, can the fourth sister-in-law help?" ”

The fourth lady was speechless, "Good guy, Master Hou really dares to open his mouth." Su Ke met you like this, and she was also unlucky. She rolled her eyes again, "I can still take out 10,000 taels, but shouldn't this money be made up to me afterwards?" ”

"Well said."

"Then I did Hou Ye such a big favor, shouldn't Hou Ye also express it?"

Shao Linghang raised his hand and made a gesture of please, "The fourth sister-in-law said. ”

"I'm going to bring the woman outside the fourth master into the house." The fourth lady's face was slightly red, but her eyes were very firm, "The fourth master has the ability to coax the old lady to ignore this matter, but I don't have so much spare money to raise women outside for him." If Master Hou helps me achieve my goal, people here enter the door, and I will let Su Ke nod over there. ”

Shao Linghang was silent for a while, as if he was measuring whether the fourth wife had this ability.

Seeing this, the fourth lady raised her chin and knocked it patiently, "It's not easy for someone like Su Ke to make her willing to hold her heart out. There are some methods that you can use to hinder the face of the famous family, but I am not afraid. Since Master Hou is willing to come to me to discuss the conditions, it is better to be happy and give an accurate word. ”

Shao Linghang had a tense face, and he didn't feel too much disgust at the fourth wife's pretense. Whether there is a ability or not, the facts are in front of you. An outer room has made the entire fourth room a miasma, and the ability and means of the fourth wife are enough to see. But in the final analysis, he didn't come for this matter, so he looked at the fourth wife inquiringly, and finally nodded.

"If that's the case, then it's a certainty."

When the fourth lady heard this, she was immediately refreshed. Shao Linghang looked at her quietly, and his tone suddenly became cold, "Where is Su Ke?" ”

The fourth wife was thinking about how to clean her up after the goblin entered the mansion, Shao Linghang's cold question startled her, turned her head blankly, and asked somehow, "What Su Ke is where?" ”

Shao Linghang's heart sank, and then he sighed, "It's nothing, I just want to remind the fourth sister-in-law, Su Ke is now at the old lady's place, since the fourth sister-in-law wants to help, the old lady should not show her bottom." ”

"That's it," the fourth lady's face was relaxed, "Master Hou can rest assured." ”

Shao Linghang no longer wasted time, got up and said goodbye to the fourth wife. The fourth wife personally sent him out of the door, and when she saw Mother Sun standing under the corridor, her eyes lit up a little, "Master Hou is here for a trip, it's enough to mobilize the people." ”

Shao Linghang ignored her and walked out of Lanxin Garden with someone.

Walking out of the way, Mother Sun hammered Shao Linghang's shoulder with her hand, "Miss Su is not worrying, and you are not worrying, you two are really together." ”

Shao Linghang frowned, "The fourth sister-in-law doesn't know Su Ke's whereabouts, let Shaoyan come back." ”

As early as when Shao Linghang returned to the Hou Mansion, he had already instructed Hao Shaoyan to call a few people to wait at all times. If the fourth wife really helped Su Ke hide, the left would be just those few mansions for marriage. If she didn't say it, he would dare to let Shaoyan lead someone to break in.

However, after the incident in Lanxinyuan, Shao Linghang found that the fourth wife and Su Ke did have some friendship, but he did not know about Su Ke's escape.

"Where can she go? She's hiding in the sky! Shao Linghang was so angry that he burst into flames, "Is there any news from Jincheng?" ”

Mother Sun shook her head helplessly.

The courtyard of Lanxin Garden is adjacent to a corner of the back garden, and when he turned the corner of the road, Shao Linghang's footsteps became heavy. Many emotions are squeezed in the chest, and the wind tends to turn smaller, but the night is still like a black cauldron, overwhelming.

He turned around and walked towards the back garden.

The corner door was locked, and it took a while to find someone to open the door. Shao Linghang felt a slight pull in his heart, and pulled him over to take a look. But when I walked to the curved bridge, I looked at it from a distance, and the two-story small building with the old warehouse stood there lonely and lonely, with no light at all, like a lonely city.

Once upon a time, it was his father's home in the house, but now it has become a building in a black hole.

"If she decides to leave, will she mention anything to the working mothers-in-law?" Shao Linghang looked at the cold, hard and dark lonely city from afar, and had some luck in his heart.

Mother Sun saw through his intentions, and her expression froze, "I'll take someone to ask those mothers-in-law, and Master Hou will go back and wait for news first." ”

Shao Linghang shook his head, "I'd better go with you." ”

Mother Sun looked at the sky, sank her face, and said sternly: "Things are prioritized, what do you look like when you run away?" You just went to the fourth room, and the old lady can still hide it. If Miss Su's matter comes out, she won't be able to enter the mansion in the future. In order to plan for the future, you can go back and wait for news, I am still a little sure of Miss Su's matter, there are really clues, and I will send someone to sue you. ”

Shao Linghang was moved by some of these words, and he was a little wilted, but he quickly cheered up.

At this time, it is not possible to act with high spirits, and at the same time, we must look forward and look backward.

The two went out from the east corner gate of the Hou Mansion the same way, Shao Linghang went to Fujia's house, and Mother Sun went south along the back alley and went directly to Liu Wuniang's house. Liu Wuniang's man is the son of the old lady's companion, and now he is in charge of the rent of several pieces of land on the outskirts of the old lady. The old lady liked the two of them very much, and gave them a small courtyard in the back alley.

When Sun's mother knocked on the door, the dog in the yard barked.

Liu Wuniang was called aside by Mother Sun as early as the day after Su Ke arrived at Zhuxiangju, and after explaining many things, Liu Wuniang knew a little more about Su Ke's backstage. Now I saw Mother Sun coming to the door in the middle of the night, wondering if Su Ke had an accident, but when I heard it, it was really Su Ke's accident.

Without saying a word here, I took someone to find the residence of those mothers-in-law.

Xu Wang's family lived closest, and when he opened the door in the middle of the night and saw that it was Mother Sun and Liu Wuniang, he clutched his chest and didn't say anything for a while.

Mother Sun asked her calmly: "Miss Su hasn't gone back until now, her aunt is so anxious to go around the house, I came over to ask, do you know where Miss Su went after she got off duty?" ”

Xu Wangjia swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "We came out of the mansion together, and I watched her go home." Where she went, I can't know. ”

"Then has Miss Su mentioned anything in the past few days?" Mother Sun's tone was a little stern, "Who have you seen, or where have you asked?" ”

Xu Wang's family shook his head with a pale face, "The girl has been so busy these days that her feet don't touch the ground, and she doesn't speak with a straight face even when she eats." ”

Mother Sun's eyes darkened, she glanced at Liu Wuniang, shook her head and left.

They walked on the front foot, Xu Wang came out of the house with his clothes on the back foot, looked at his mother-in-law and was so frightened that he lost his soul, and asked, "After you got off duty, the girl went back to the warehouse and closed the window, why, haven't you gone home yet?" ”

Xu Wang's family glared, and suddenly remembered that the second floor of the warehouse was opened for ventilation today, and it seemed that he forgot to close it when he left.

Such a strong wind tonight......
