Ning Zhao hurriedly raised his hand and made a silent gesture towards her, then raised his hand and beckoned Qing Cicada to come over.

Qing Cicada understood, put down the porcelain basin in his hand, and hurriedly came to Ning Zhao's side, also lowered his voice, and asked nervously, "What's wrong with Miss?" ”

"Someone." Ning Zhao said two words simply, and Qing Cicada grew his mouth in surprise.

Ning Zhao didn't say much, and motioned for Qing Chan to listen to himself.

Qing Cicada leaned up, the same as her movements, her ears were close to the door, and she could vaguely hear some footsteps, and if she listened carefully, the footsteps were scattered and panicked, obviously hearing her previous voice.

Qing Chan looked at Ning Zhao and made a lip gesture towards Ning Zhao: A thief?

Ning Zhao understood and shook his head. She didn't know if it was a thief, but she was also curious.

"You go and see." Ning Zhao whispered to Qing Chan: "You are familiar with the mansion, follow him, be careful not to be discovered." ”

Hearing this, Qing Cicada nodded hurriedly, and lightly opened a gap in the courtyard door, and his small body drilled out like a loach, and soon melted into the darkness.

Ning Zhao looked through the cracks, and suddenly regretted it in his heart.

Qing Cicada is just a daughter's family, whether it is a thief or not, if it is discovered......

But in an instant, she was relieved again.

Qing Cicada grew up in the house since she was a child, and she is even more familiar with the route in the house than herself, and she knows what shortcuts she has, as long as she doesn't make a big noise, she won't be discovered.

Unless that person is still a master of martial arts, then don't worry, Qing Cicada just needs to make a big fuss, after all, it is the residence of the imperial court officials, and the generals who ensure their safety are all masters.

Ning Zhao wanted to understand everything, his heart also settled down, raised his hand to close the courtyard door, returned to the stone table, picked up the teacup and drank tea, and patiently waited for the cicada to come back.

I don't know how long it took, Ning Zhao's teapot was almost at the bottom, and there was a familiar sound of footsteps at the gate of the courtyard, which was broken in pieces.

Ning Zhao raised his eyes and saw that the courtyard door was opened from the outside in an instant, and a small head of Qing Cicada came out of the door, and then his small body slipped in and trotted to Ning Zhao.

Ning Zhao got up, grabbed Qing Cicada's arm, and asked, "What did you find?" Is it really a thief? ”

Although he said this, the house was still quiet as usual, and Ning Zhao knew that he was not a thief.

Qing Cicada trotted all the way back, panting, took a few big breaths, his throat and eyes were still dry, and he quickly waved his hand, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it.

Ning Zhao didn't urge, waited patiently, and waited until Qing Cicada was out of breath, and then asked again: "Where did that person go?" ”

"Oh my god!" Qing Cicada swallowed the tea and exclaimed, her big eyes widened even more, and she looked incredulous.

Ning Zhao was interested, but he was even more curious, pulled Qing Cicada to sit down, and urged: "Don't be surprised, hurry up and talk about it." ”

"Miss, you've seen that person too!" Qing Cicada continued to stare at him, and Ning Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who is it?" ”

"That's it, it's the man who lingered at the gate of the house!" Qing Cicada blurted out, stood up suddenly, and said vividly: "I was still unsure at first, until I followed him to the main courtyard, and then I saw the person's appearance clearly!" ”

"The main house?" Isn't that Chen's yard?

"How did he go to the main house?" Ning Zhao asked, guessing in his heart that Ning Hong might be staying in the Chen family tonight, and that person was looking for him?

However, after thinking about it, Ning Zhao quickly overturned this speculation - the main courtyard is the residence of female dependents, even if it is Ning Hong's hidden subordinates, they should not be so ignorant of etiquette and enter and leave the main courtyard casually.

Not to mention that this person Ning Zhao has also seen, it is not that she judges people by their appearance, as far as the middle-aged man Ning Zhao saw, his appearance and behavior cannot be a person under Ning Hong's hands.

If he didn't go to find Ning Hong, then who would he go to the main courtyard to find?

The answer is coming out - go find Chen!

"Chen's ......" Thinking of this, Ning Zhao read softly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Miss, that person must have gone to Madame's place, but who he was looking for, it is unknown, but ......" Saying, Qing Cicada swallowed his saliva, moved closer to Ning Zhao, and said mysteriously: "I saw Madame's personal maid open the door for him." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ning Zhao's eyes widened suddenly, and the whole person stood up from the stone bench at once, and his face immediately changed from shock to joy.

Qing Cicada was taken aback by her, patted her small chest again and again, and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I remember!" Ning Zhao laughed, the starlight fell all over her eyes, clear and clear, and she said excitedly: "I finally remembered!" ”

"Miss, what do you remember?" Qing Cicada was affected by her emotions and smiled.

"That man ......" Ning Zhao took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his essence flickered, only to hear her say: "It's Chen's cousin, Chen Qi's father!" ”

"What?!" Qing Cicada jumped up in surprise, and then asked nervously, "Then what is he doing there?" Is it for Young Master Chen's business? ”

I didn't know what to think, Qing Cicada's expression suddenly became uneasy, pulled Ning Zhao's sleeve, and said busily: "Will he know anything, or what will the Chen family say to him?" If the Chen family framed Miss, would he come to trouble Miss? ”

Although Chen Qi's affairs were involved in many times, everything was handled by Ning Zhao and Jin Yuan, but Qing Cicada still knew about the whole matter, if Chen Qi's father learned that it was Ning Zhao and they caused Chen Qi to lose his hands, would he ......

Qing Cicada didn't dare to think about it.

After all, her own lady is just a woman, and compared to a big man, she can only be regarded as weak.

"Not necessarily." Ning Zhao didn't think so.

I had long felt that the person was familiar, and she never remembered who it was, and she didn't connect that person with the Chen family at all, but tonight, she finally remembered who that person was.

In her previous life, Ning Zhao had only had a few encounters with this cousin of the Chen family, and she wasn't sure why that person would appear tonight, but looking at the past few days, Ning Zhao felt that there was a lot to be done between these two people!

"Rest." Ning Zhao took a deep breath, looked at Qing Cicada with a smile, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I don't think what you worry about will happen." ”

"Does Miss have a solution?" Qing Cicada was still not at ease and asked.

Ning Zhao smiled more and more gently, raised his hand to touch the cicada's cheek, and said softly: "If you are afraid of someone fighting back, then you have to strike first." ”

"First strike?" Qing Cicada muttered softly, and only after a while did she come back to her senses, and her eyes couldn't help but widen, "Miss, you, what do you mean......"

Ning Zhao nodded, patted her cheek, then stretched and muttered, "I'm almost tired, hurry up and sleep." ”

Qing Cicada froze in place, blinked her eyes a few times, and shivered coldly-her young lady is really getting more and more powerful......

The door closed, the candlelight went out, and the whole courtyard was completely plunged into darkness, Ning Zhao lay on the bed, slowly closing his eyes, "There is another good show......
