"Let's go back to the front first, let the people in the yard be careful, and don't let in the people who shouldn't be put in."

After Ran Qiunian said this sentence meaninglessly, Qingxi nodded, and there was a little coldness in his eyes.

Since the previous incidents, the manpower in this courtyard has been properly arranged, and it should not be found that Liu Yunyao has been unaware of the things that have allowed him to sneak into the courtyard unconsciously.

But since this incident has happened, Liu Yunyao can't be held accountable, and the eyeliner in this yard that has been bought at some point should be plucked.

The two of them returned to the front yard, and saw that the table was about to start.

Grandmother saw that Ran Qiunian didn't know where to go to steal, and was about to send someone to look for it, but she finally saw this girl late.

"But you're going to the front for a feast?"

Ran Qiunian saw her grandmother beckoning to her, her steps quickened, and she walked to her grandmother's side and helped her up with a smile.

"Your nose is a spirit, and you came just in time for the feast."

Grandmother nodded the tip of Ran Qiunian's nose, stood up with Ran Qiunian's strength with a smile, and beckoned everyone to go to the banquet hall together.

Everyone was seated and was about to have a feast, but there was a news that a new guest had arrived.

When I heard it, it was actually someone from the Feng family.

The Feng family actually came to attend Miss Ran's birthday banquet today? The two of them only made a big fight some time ago, and they had a lot of open guns and hidden arrows in the business field, and they almost tore their faces openly.

What does the Feng family mean by making such a gesture today?

When the guests were in doubt, the Feng housekeeper walked in with gifts.

"Today's Miss Ran's birthday, because there was a slight misunderstanding between the two families a few days ago, Mrs. sent a small one to Miss Ran to send a birthday gift."

Ran Qiunian looked at the Feng family's housekeeper and smiled: "Since it's a small misunderstanding, why don't you see the Feng family today?" ”

"My lord and Mr. Ran still have business to discuss, Mrs. is accompanied, and the young master and Miss are entangled in trivial matters, I really can't spare my hands, Miss Ran forgive me."

Steward Feng didn't have stage fright when he saw Ran Qiunian's questioning, and explained the rhetoric that he had prepared a long time ago, looking like he didn't get in with oil and salt.

Ran Qiunian finally figured out the purpose of this person's visit, it turned out that he came here to sow discord.

She didn't laugh angrily, no wonder she didn't see Ran Lin in the mansion early this morning, it turned out that she went to talk about business with the Feng family, I really don't know what he thinks...... The Feng family secretly targeted the Ran family a few days ago, and almost attacked his grandmother and Qiubai's brother, can they forget it in a blink of an eye?

Perhaps, he simply doesn't care.

The coldness in Ran Qiunian's eyes gradually emerged, but her hand was gently held by the grandmother next to her, Ran Qiunian was stunned, and looked at her grandmother, but saw that her grandmother was just holding her hand, but her eyes were looking at the uninvited guest at the door.

"Madame Lauvon bother, Ginkgo, give the reward."

After saying a fluttering sentence, he no longer paid attention to this Feng family's subordinates, and when the guests in the hall saw it, they understood the old lady's choice, and when they looked at the Feng housekeeper again, they all smiled a little.

"Steward Feng, come with me to receive the reward money, you have worked hard to go."

Ginkgo invited Steward Feng out, but he didn't even plan to invite him to stay for a banquet.

That Steward Feng originally relied on the fact that he represented the master of the Feng family behind him, and he looked high, but at this time, his face was blue and red for a while, he snorted coldly, turned around and left, and had no intention of receiving the reward at all.

It's just that no one paid attention to his attitude at all.

The Feng family overestimated Ran Lin's position in the old lady's heart, and thought that they could use Ran Lin to hit the old lady, but unfortunately, both the old lady Ran and Ran Qiunian had already been disappointed in Ran Lin, and they never expected it again, how could they still be hurt by him?

Even if there was such a small episode at the birthday banquet, it would not hurt, and the day passed quickly.

After the luncheon, everyone dispersed, and Ran Qiunian also planned to go back to his yard to rest.

Qi Ruoyun, who had never found a chance to talk to Ran Qiunian during the banquet, saw it, and quickly got rid of a few guests around him and caught up with Ran Qiunian.

"Why is Sister Nian'er in such a hurry?"

Qi Ruoyun stopped Ran Qiunian with a smile and stepped forward to stand in front of her.

"I've seen the little grandfather. I don't know what happened to the little grandfather to stop Nian'er? ”

Ran Qiunian didn't expect Qi Ruoyun to stop herself, she was a little surprised.

"I haven't given my birthday gift yet, don't dislike my sister Nian'er."

Qi Ruoyun took out a palm-sized brocade box from his sleeve and sent it to Ran Qiunian, Ran Qiunian was stunned, and his first reaction was to refuse.

"Didn't the little grandfather already give Nian'er a birthday gift before?"

"Although someone has prepared a gift to send it with the gift list, this is different, those are prepared by my subordinates according to the rules, and I personally chose it for Sister Nian'er."

Qi Ruoyun's hand was raised in the air, and it was very meaningful that Ran Qiu Nian would not accept him or accept it.

Ran Qiunian really doesn't want it, what does it mean to receive gifts in private? She asked herself that her relationship with Qi Ruoyun was not to the point where she could receive and give gifts at will in private.

"This is not in line with the ceremony, how can Nian'er accept this gift?"

"My two families have an old relationship, and you and I have a small friendship, like brothers and sisters, what is wrong with the etiquette of your brother? Sister Nian'er is too fond of these vulgar rites. ”

Qi Ruoyun directly stuffed the gift into Ran Qiunian's hand, and pretended to be unhappy and said, "Besides, today is your birthday, who can say anything about you?" Sister Nian'er is afraid that she deliberately wants to have a relationship with me, right? ”

"How so? The little grandfather is polite. Then I accepted this gift, thank you little grandfather. ”

Qi Ruoyun has said this, what else can Ran Qiunian say? I had to accept it with a forced smile, and when no one saw it, I saluted and hurriedly said goodbye.

Looking at Ran Qiunian's distant back, Qi Ruoyun smiled helplessly, when did he have to go so hard to give a gift, this girl really made him helpless.

"Little grandfather."

Liu Yunyao stood behind a tree not far away and watched for a long time, her fingers were unconsciously pinched very tightly, her knuckles were slightly white, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

She called Qi Ruoyun, who was about to leave, by her own impulse, and stepped forward, no longer hiding her figure.

"It turned out that Miss Liu was here, so I didn't pay attention to it, and it was rude."

Qi Ruoyun had long known that Liu Yunyao was hiding on the side and peeking, but he didn't care at all, who knew that this woman would suddenly stop him, he was a little impatient in his heart, but there was a gentle smile on his face.

"The little grandfather is the dragon and phoenix among people, how can Yun Yao Puliu's posture be worthy of Nian'er's sister."

The corners of Liu Yunyao's mouth were a little bitter, she thought of the box she stole from Ran Qiunian, and she was originally going to give it to her brother Liu Yufei But now she has changed her mind.

"I heard that the little grandfather received an errand to investigate the case of the loss of the Lingnan iron mine?" This news shouldn't have been known to her, a woman in the back house, but Liu Yunyao said it without any scruples, "Yun Yao has some things here, and I am about to ask my brother to transfer them to the little grandfather, and since I am fortunate to meet them today, I will personally present them." ”

"I don't know what Miss Liu means by this?"

Qi Ruoyun didn't expect that what Liu Yunyao was going to tell him was this, and the smile on his face suddenly retracted a little, and he made a serious and serious gesture.

"Yun Yao is a little woman, she doesn't understand any righteousness, she just hopes that the little grandfather can solve the case earlier and put less effort into it, this is from Nian'er's sister, I think it has something to do with this case, I don't know if the little grandfather knows?"

Liu Yunyao handed the box out.

Qi Ruoyun stared at Liu Yunyao's face for a long time before slowly taking the box and opening it for a look. It only took one glance for him to see the clue, how could this thing get into her hands?

"Does the little grandfather recognize this?"

Liu Yunyao saw Qi Ruoyun's expression was different, and asked casually.

"It's just an ordinary broken arrow," Qi Ruoyun closed the lid and returned the box to Liu Yunyao, with a gentle smile on his face again, "Thank you Miss Liu for your trouble, but it's better for this thing to be returned to its original owner." ”

Liu Yunyao's face was a little ugly, she knew that she didn't have the light of day to get this box, but she was all for Qi Ruoyun, wanting him to be able to solve the case in front of Xiao Yin and monopolize the credit.

Since the little grandfather didn't need it, Yun Yao returned the box. It was Yun Yao who was troubled, which made the little grandfather smile. ”

The smile on Liu Yunyao's face was a little reluctant, and seeing that Qi Ruoyun didn't say anything more, she smiled bitterly in her heart, turned around and hurriedly left.

Watching Liu Yunyao go farther and farther, the gentle smile on Qi Ruoyun's face did not change, her eyes paused from the box in her hand, and she also left the Ran Mansion thoughtfully.

"Send me a letter to Liu He from the Imperial Guard."

Qi Ruoyun's eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he handed over the letter he had just written to a subordinate.

"Go do one more thing, go to Ran's house to find a box, and don't let anyone find out."

Liu Yunyao was hurt by Qi Ruoyun's attitude, and after returning to the courtyard, she couldn't help but lose her temper, looking at the box on the table that made her lose a big face, Liu Yunyao grabbed it angrily and threw it out of the window.

It's all because of Ran Qiunian, it's all because of her! Liu Yunyao's eyes were terrifying, and she sat in a mess, panting fiercely.

"What are you crazy again?"

Liu Yufei saw this scene when he walked into the room, and his eyes showed impatience: "I said that I had something for me, what is it?" ”

"What's that?" Liu Yunyao muttered and repeated, and then thought of Qi Ruoyun's unwilling gesture, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's just a useless thing that I worked so hard to get." I lost it through the window. ”

"What the hell are you talking about? Talking nonsense, don't look for me again in the future, I can't afford to delay these efforts. ”

Liu Yufei turned around impatiently to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Liu Yunyao.

"Wait a minute."

Liu Yunyao stood up from the ground, a breezy and moonlit character like the little grandfather naturally couldn't look at something from an unknown whereabout, but Ran Qiunian was hiding such a treasure, it must be an important thing.

She can let Liu Yufei investigate first, and then send the results to the little grandfather, so that she can still help the little grandfather.

Having made up her mind, Liu Yunyao hurriedly walked out of the house and rummaged around in the open space connected to the window, but found nothing.
