Cheng Yilin was a little aggrieved, when she was very young, she didn't say anything when she called her mother so much at home, and she wondered when her mother didn't allow her to call her so last year, why didn't Sister Qin let herself shout now.

"What are you doing standing here, let's go there." Qin Manqiu saw a smile and was silent, a grievance. So she took one in one hand and walked straight to the attic.

The maid behind her followed a lot, Chu Yiyao came back to her senses, and saw that there was a touch of helplessness in Cheng Yilin's eyes, even if a little girl was enthusiastic, she couldn't screw the Cheng family.

Chu Miaoluo and they have been waiting outside the attic for a while, there are not many people nearby, because they can't get in, everyone has taken a look at this, Qin Manqiu found a good place, go around the attic and walk a water step, there is a small pavilion, the pavilion is chic, in addition to the water steps, it is surrounded by river water all around, and there are many unknown flowers and plants planted under the pavilion and the river, in spring, the flowers bloom and the leaves are luxuriant, just like the pavilion set off by the flowers, it is very beautiful from a distance.

There are rope handrails hanging next to the water steps, lotus leaves floating on the water surface on both sides, and fishing nets are faintly visible under the water surface, which is afraid that someone will accidentally fall and prevent drowning.

Chu Yiyao is not afraid of water, but if she gets too close, she always has a chill in her heart, and the pavilion can't squeeze so many people, so she simply keeps Baosheng by her side and asks Qin Manqiu to take them up to sit.

Chu Miaolan hesitated for a moment, wanting to stay with her, but Cheng Yilin's petite figure took the lead, she directly took Chu Yiyao's hand, and said politely to Chu Miaolan, "You haven't been to this lake pavilion before, just let me accompany Sister Yiyao." ”

The little girl was very domineering, plus she was the youngest, Chu Miaolan nodded with a smile, didn't say anything, and followed the two sisters to carefully walk up the water steps, Chu Yiyao looked at it for a while, looked down and saw that Cheng Yilin was still wronged, and said with a smile, "Okay, I won't tell your brother." ”

"I'm not doing this for this, I haven't seen my sister for a long time." Cheng Yilin's face turned red, and she stomped her feet and denied, "Brother, I'm not afraid." ”

Cheng Yilin pulled her and began to talk about Cheng Shaopeng's care and instructions to herself before leaving, the little girl has a good memory, her eldest brother knows everything she has done to her, no wonder she sticks to herself, the difference between the two is more than five years old, when Cheng Yilin was born, Chu Yiyao had just passed the stage of 'this is mine, what is mine, everything is mine', and she naturally likes this pink and tender little thing, and she doesn't forget to give her if she has a good one, Cheng Yilin has been very sticky to her since she can remember.

In the previous life, until Chu Miaoluo got married, perhaps because she hated the Cheng family at the time and did some irrational things, she pushed this little girl farther and farther, so that later, Cheng Yilin married well and never extended any help to her.

"Sister Yiyao, my brother will be back soon." Cheng Yilin mentioned Cheng Shaopeng again as she spoke, Chu Yiyao frowned slightly, it was true that she liked Cheng Yilin, but when she heard more about Cheng Shaopeng, she couldn't hide her impatience.

"Is the Cheng family's ship coming over today?" So Chu Yiyao directly pulled the topic away, Cheng Yilin didn't care, and talked about it again, and only snorted softly in the middle of the conversation, looked at Chu Yiyao and said innocently, "I forgot about Sister Qi." ”

"I just told Sister Qi that I was going to walk around here, and she was waiting for me to get on the boat at the pier." Cheng Yilin said and glared at the maid behind her, "Why don't you remind me!" ”

The two maids lowered their heads, Chu Yiyao touched her head, and said with a smile, "Then you go quickly, don't let Miss Qi wait." Cheng Yilin looked at her hesitantly, she couldn't let Sister Qi wait for a long time, but she finally met Sister Yiyao once, and when she returned home, her mother would definitely not let her come out again.

"Sister Yiyao, then you have to come to see me next time." Cheng Yilin pouted aggrievedly, Chu Yiyao nodded, and didn't say yes, Cheng Yilin turned around and shouted to her not to forget, and walked over slowly.

Looking at her bouncing and walking away, Chu Yiyao let out a long sigh, she was so carefree when she was her age, it was really true.

Turning around and walking around the attic from the other end, Chu Yiyao listened to the laughter coming from the pavilion not far away, compared to the quiet environment around her, it seemed that she was very lonely.

Bao Sheng walked slowly behind her, Chu Yiyao looked at the attic built for the imperial concubine, and couldn't remember which one funded it for a while, and took a closer look, this brick and tile were much more careful than the other attics in the Lake Pavilion, and there were many rumors outside, saying that it was like the attic construction in the palace, and she walked half a circle, and began to wonder how luxurious it was.

Chu Yiyao stepped on the steps, facing the exquisitely crafted portal, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps in her ears, and when she looked back, several people hurriedly passed in front of her, seeing that this was dressed the same as the row of guards standing on the dock of the Lake Pavilion, and those people were looking around the attic, as if they were looking for someone.

"This young lady, may I ask if you have seen a man break into the attic, about this height, dressed in white." The guards who arrived later saw Chu Yiyao and asked, Chu Yiyao shook his head, he stepped forward and whispered to a few others, and several people split up to find them.

Someone broke into the attic? Chu Yiyao subconsciously turned back to look, this attic was quiet, and the doors and windows around were locked, how could anyone enter.

Scanning his gaze over the doors and windows, Chu Yiyao's gaze was fixed on the door at that corner, and after a closer look, it seemed to be a little inward compared to other closed doors.

Signaling Bao Sheng to guard here, Chu Yiyao walked over, the locks on the door seemed to be set together, but in fact, the locks were not closed at all, they were simply put on, and the door was slightly pushed inward, revealing a small gap.

She just pushed it slightly, and the lock fell straight down, hit the threshold, and fell directly on the blue brick floor, making a muffled sound.

There seemed to be a movement in the room, Chu Yiyao was stunned, Bao Sheng was about to step forward to pull Miss back, the door suddenly opened, it was such a moment, she watched a hand stretched out and dragged Miss directly in, and then the door closed quickly.

Bao Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and patted the door, the door that was still loose when Chu Yiyao opened it just now was suddenly closed and couldn't be pushed open, "Miss, how are you, Miss!" ”

Bao Sheng shouted a few times, there was no response at all, the light in the room with the window door closed was very poor, even if you looked through the window, it was also dark inside, Bao Sheng retreated and looked at the place where the guards had just left, those people were long gone, Bao Sheng stood in place and glanced at the attic, and stomped his feet and ran towards Qin Manqiu and them to find someone.

In the house, Chu Yiyao was pressed against the pillar with her mouth covered, and the slightest sound was released, and there was a sound of rapid breathing in her ears, and the snort was only the musty smell of the house that had not seen the sun for a long time, and the smell of furniture paint, which was very choking.

There was the sound of Baosheng banging on the door outside the house, Chu Yiyao struggled twice to make a sound, the man covered the ground tighter, Chu Yiyao's heart beat violently, and in this dark environment, a fear began to spread from the soles of his feet and swept his whole body.

Until Bao Sheng stopped shouting, the man never did anything else to her, just suppressed and didn't let her make a sound, the footsteps outside the house went away, Chu Yiyao stared at his chest with wide eyes, and a nice man's voice came from above his body:

"Don't be afraid, if you promise me not to make a sound, I'll let go." There was a hint of nervousness in his tone.

Chu Yiyao nodded, the man let go of his hand slightly, but he didn't let go of it all, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly make a noise to attract others, Chu Yiyao kept not moving, and it took a while before the hand moved away from his face, the man took a step back, Chu Yiyao was empty in front of him, and kicked towards him with his foot at the moment, and scolded angrily, "Bastard!" ”

The man couldn't dodge, and he was hit on his knee, and looked at her incredulously, Chu Yiyao saw the person's appearance clearly, and under the faint light, he had a beautiful face with a painful look, fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in white, isn't it the person who just passed by and said he was looking for.

"I said I wouldn't call people, but I didn't say I wouldn't hit people." Chu Yiyao saw that he was also a boy in his dress and appearance, so he was a little less afraid and said innocently.

Shen Shixuan leaned on the pillar opposite her and touched her knees, looking embarrassed, this girl is really not ordinary ruthless, if she hadn't turned it sideways, who knows where she would kick!

The two of them stared at each other for a while, and suddenly there was a sound outside the door, and before Chu Yiyao could react, Shen Shixuan rushed over and pulled her up and ran towards the spiral ladder behind her, she stepped on the air for several steps, if she hadn't pulled in front, it was estimated that she would have rolled down the stairs.

The empty hand grabbed him indiscriminately, Chu Yiyao didn't pay attention, and when he saw that something was dangling in front of his eyes, he stretched out his hand and pulled it, and a cold jade pendant was held in his hand.

Shen Shixuan pulled her and ran directly to the third floor, only then did he let go of her out of breath, Chu Yiyao was almost lying on the escalator, this time he really didn't have the strength to beat him, so he simply sat directly at the staircase and gasped, looking at him, he couldn't get any better, he directly found a chair and sat down, leaning on it much more embarrassed than her.

Sneaking into this attic, he was naturally going to be chased by those guards, but Chu Yiyao was curious where he got the key.

Downstairs, Qin Manqiu tried to push the door, but he couldn't push it open, he couldn't break in, the things here were not directly smashed by their identity, Qin Manqiu immediately sent a maid to the island to find a guard, then someone among them must know how to get in.

And on the third floor, Shen Shixuan looked at the little girl who was still scared just now, and now she was looking at it with her jade pendant, a smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and she didn't know whose young lady it was, she was not small.

"Now, I'll give it back to you." Chu Yiyao turned around and threw the jade pendant to him, and he didn't know if he was dusty, so he reached out and patted his clothes, ready to go downstairs, "I'm going out." ”

Shen Shixuan calculated that the time was almost there, and he didn't stop her, watching her walk down the stairs, he walked directly to the door of a window, first opened a little and looked at it, and saw that there was no one below, so he opened the window.

Chu Yiyao, who was about to walk to the first floor, only to hear a noise upstairs and downstairs, and then two guards opened the door and broke in, saw Chu Yiyao on the stairs, turned sideways and asked her to come down, didn't say anything, and rushed directly to find someone.
