The night was very cold, and on such a cold night, there was still one person in the Hou Mansion who had not slept. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xue Zhiyuan was wearing a stone blue straight jacket and a dark green fur cloak sitting in front of the desk, and there were several ancient books on the case, and he flipped through one of them casually.

Ru'an, who was standing in front of him, replied in a low voice, "Just now, our people came quietly and said that Master Hou went out by himself......

Xue Zhiyuan's eyebrows moved after hearing this, and he closed the ancient book in his hand.

"What time is it now?"

Ru'an replied, "Just after the second watch." ”

"Second watch?" Xue Zhiyuan frowned again, and pondered for a long time before asking, "Do you know where my father went?" ”

Ru'an shook his head, "I don't know about this, the people who came only said that Master Hou was drunk and wanted to go out to breathe, and no one around him was allowed to follow." ”

Xue Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, looking out the window for a long time.

Ru quietly waited for Xue Zhiyuan to show off, and after waiting for a while, he finally heard Xue Zhiyuan slowly spit out a word, "Check." ”

Ru'an immediately bowed and said, "Fortunately, it is snowing heavily today, if the Hou Ye goes out, he will definitely leave footprints." ”

"Then follow the trails, and don't be noticed by him."

"Yes, my subordinates will do it."

Ru'an got up and was about to go out, when Xue Zhiyuan suddenly stopped him again and asked, "Has my father investigated the matter of Huashang?" ”

Ru'an said, "There is no news from our people, but with Hou Ye's usual behavior, I think he will definitely investigate this matter, but there is one thing I don't know if I should tell you or not......

Ru'an glanced cautiously at Xue Zhiyuan and added, "It's about Miss Mu, no...... It is concerned with Miss Lin Jiabiao. ”

As soon as Xue Zhiyuan heard the words of Miss Daomu, his eyes immediately moved, and he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ru'an's lips moved, and it took a long time before he said, "During the day today, the eldest prince of the Mu family seems to have teased Miss Cousin in the garden...... Later, Mama Yao, who was next to our wife, followed the eldest son of the Mu family to the Mu Mansion again, as if she was going to get something important, and our people didn't inquire about what she took. There is another thing, after the banquet, Miss Biao also went to the flower room, and I heard from our people that she picked geraniums in the flower room and made the mother-in-law of the flower room half dead......"

Hearing that Mu Yan was teased by Mu Chaoyang, Xue Zhiyuan's face slowly sank, and then when he heard that Mu Yan went to the flower room again and moved the geranium, his brows furrowed even tighter.

She went to pick geraniums?

Why?

Do you want to help him, or do you want to hurt him?

It is strange to say that he has always been a very cautious person, but in his heart he inexplicably feels that Mu Yan is a very reliable person and will not harm him......

Is it because of her innocent eyes?

Xue Zhiyuan's mood suddenly became chaotic.

Ru'an looked at Xue Zhiyuan's face and said slowly, "I don't know if Miss Biao has discovered the secret of geraniums, and if she finds something, will she tell it?" ”

Xue Zhiyuan frowned slightly, got up and looked out the window, and after looking at it for a long time, he turned around and stood in front of the desk, picked up the pen and hurriedly wrote a letter, and after writing it, he instructed Ru'an Dao, "Find a way to send the letter to Miss Biao tomorrow......"

Ru'an glanced at Xue Zhiyuan in surprise, "Letter to Miss Biao?" This...... Is it proper? ”

"If you are asked to send it, you will send it, so much nonsense?"

Xue Zhiyuan's eyes sank slightly, he wanted to know Mu Yan's intention of going to the flower room......

As for why his father went out at night, he was eager to know. Since his mother's death, he has understood that if he wants to survive in this mansion, he can't rely on his father, he must rely on himself, and only if he is strong can he protect his sister.

Ru'an didn't dare to say much, hurriedly put away the letter and took the order, and before going out, he listened to Xue Zhiyuan's instructions, "Mu Chaoyang sent someone to keep an eye on ......."

Ru'an seemed to have grasped some essence, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of her mouth after hearing this......

The night was not destined to be peaceful.

It is not easy to check Xue Yu's movements in the Hou Mansion, after all, Xue Yu is vigilant, and there are many Xue Yu's eyeliners in the mansion, Xue Zhiyuan's people want to investigate carefully and only show their feet, but fortunately, the heavy snow left footprints, and finally found out that Xue Yu went to the garden and went to the forbidden place of the Hou Mansion.

Xue Zhiyuan felt strange, what was his father doing in the forbidden place in the garden on a big night? Could it be that there is something strange there?

But he had secretly been inside before, and there was nothing strange about it except for a large statue of Shakyamuni Buddha.

But with what he knew about his father, it was impossible to go out in the middle of the night to wander around the garden for no reason.

It seems that it is indeed necessary to take the time to study the forbidden land in the prefecture.

The next day, Mu Yan had breakfast and was about to go to ask Mrs. Lin for peace, when suddenly a rough maid named Rui'er in the kitchen asked to see her.

Mu Yan didn't know this little girl, so he was slightly stunned for a moment before ordering Lu Wu to bring Rui'er in.

Rui'er looks fourteen or fifteen years old, white and pure, and her eyes have a calmness beyond this age.

"Miss, Wan Fu." Rui'er curtsied, her voice not humble or silent.

Generally, the rough little maid in the kitchen has never seen much of the world, and it is inevitable to act submissively, but this Rui'er is different, calm and introverted, no worse than the first-class maids who serve the wife and wife in the house, but it seems to have been carefully adjusted and taught.

Mu Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he raised his hand and said, "Get up!" ”

Rui'er got up.

"Your name is Rui'er?"

"Miss Hui, the slave maid is Rui'er, waiting in the kitchen."

Rui'er replied and looked around.

The house was green and rosé, and there was no one else.

Rui'er was wary.

Mu Yan said, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't get in the way." ”

Only then did Rui'er speak, "Someone asked the slave to send a letter to Miss. ”

"Letters?"

Mu Yan frowned, Rui'er took the opportunity to hand over the letterhead from her sleeve, and whispered in Mu Yan's ear, "It was Master Xue who ordered the slave to send you a letter, if you want to reply to the letter, then let a reliable person around you send the letter to the kitchen, and the slave will send it." ”

Xue Zhiyuan?

Mu Yan glanced up at Rui'er in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "Are you his person?" ”

Rui'er didn't answer, just smiled lightly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Only then did Mu Yan know that it turned out that Xue Zhiyuan had actually placed eyeliner in Lin Mansion, and it seemed that it was not only Rui'er's eyeliner......

No wonder Rui'er doesn't look like a rough girl, it's really hidden.

"The slave and maid retreated first, if you have something important in the future, order someone to come to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will do their best to do what they can."

Rui'er smiled again, curtsied, and withdrew.

Mu Yan pinched the letter and did not return to his senses.

Pink and Green surrounded them, and the two of them were also surprised.

Taohong stared at the letter in Mu Yan's hand and said, "How could the young master of the Xue family write to you?" ”

Lu Wu looked at Mu Yan, suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, "Isn't it ......?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it can't be." Mu Yan knew what Lu Wu wanted to say, she interrupted Lu Wu's words in a deep voice, and said, "Go to the door and keep an eye on it, don't call people in." (To be continued.) )
