"My lord, the second lady's residence is in front, and the old slave will be sent here."

The butler bowed deeply and bid them farewell.

Liu Feng and Lu Xihe responded, and the housekeeper trembled and turned back to the original way.

The official uniforms of the two looked very unsightly in a field of begonia flowers, Lu Xihe leaned down and stroked the peach-hearted leaves with his hand, "The nobles in Beijing love peonies and love begonias, but it is rare." ”

Liu Feng thought to himself, his daughter's family just likes to think about these irrelevant things, and if it goes on like this, the case will not be handled, so he urged: "What flowers you like is people's freedom, Xiao Jiu, don't worry about this, the case is important." ”

"Sixth brother, do you know what the flower language of begonia flowers is?"

Lu Xihe turned his head and asked.

Liu Feng scratched his head, "I don't know." ”

Begonia, also known as the broken intestine flower, is not only an expression of the wanderer's homesickness, but also has the meaning of bitter love. When you miss your lover from afar, you can send begonia flowers to express your bitter love for your lover. ”

"Adults are people who understand flowers." A gentle female voice came, Lu Xihe and Liu Feng looked over at the same time, and saw that at the end of the sea of white begonia flowers, a charming and beautiful woman in blue was holding a white light veil in her hand, not knowing whether she was happy or sad.

"Miss Fang." Liu Feng and Lu Xihe nodded.

"I've seen two adults." With the support of the maid, Fang Zijin slowly approached, and when she saw Lu Xihe, there was amazement in her eyes at first glance, and after taking a closer look, she brushed her broken hair back, "It's a trivial matter to trouble two adults to run, Zijin is really embarrassed." ”

"This is what we should do, Miss Fang doesn't have to think about it. Please also ask Miss Fang to take us to your room. After Liu Feng finished speaking, Fang Zijin's face was slightly embarrassed.

The woman's boudoir, even if it is an official handling the case, is unwilling to let people in at will.

"Miss Fang, rest assured, Sixth Brother is in charge of reconnaissance outside. Miss Fang's room, I was the only one who entered. ”

Fang Zijin's face softened, as if he had taken a breath, and his tone became relaxed, "In this case, please come with Zijin." ”

Liu Feng only reacted at this moment, touched his nose, and followed behind.

Fang Zijin didn't talk much, and Lu Xihe felt that her eyes always fell on her, and it was nothing if it was normal. But being looked at by such a beautiful woman from time to time, she was also a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Liu Feng kept a few steps away from them, Lu Xihe spoke: "Miss Fang, take the liberty of asking, have you ever seen that thief?" ”

Fang Zijin shook his head while reminiscing, "I've only seen his back." ”

"Can you describe it?" Lu Xihe asked.

"It was dark and I couldn't see clearly. Seems to be a tall and thin person. ”

Lu Xihe frowned slightly, and asked again: "What did the thief steal?" ”

Fang Zijin said regretfully: "That's a painting I made with my own hands, the music of the piano in the clouds." When I was a child, I liked to listen to the guqin, and my father invited many violinists to play music for me, among which one of my favorites was a pianist, who was highly skilled and composed with elegant artistic conception, and I thought he was an immortal, so I made a picture for him. ”

Her eyes showed unconscious admiration, and Lu Xihe's eyes darkened, "Is that so..."

"It's a pity that now the music in the clouds has been stolen by that thief..."Fang Zijin's words were full of regret.

"By the way, does Miss Fang like begonia flowers?"

Fang Zijin was stunned, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Lu Xihe smiled slightly: "There are few varieties of begonia flowers in Beijing, and to be able to cultivate such a beautiful sea of flowers, Miss Fang must have spent a lot of effort." ”

Fang Zijin's answer surprised her, "I don't like begonia flowers." However, when my father asked me what flowers I wanted to plant in front of the court, I blurted out begonias. Maybe it's fate, I seem to have a wonderful fate with begonia flowers. Even if I don't like it, I still can't bear to pull it out. ”

Lu Xihe nodded, but stopped talking.

She already knew what she wanted to know, and it was useless to say more.

"Miss Fang's unfazed handling is really admirable." Lu Xihe meant something, but Fang Zijin didn't care, and led her into his yard.

"At first, I was scared too. But no matter how scared I am, what should come will come. It's better to let go of your worries and live each day well. Fang Zijin stepped back, "Lord Lu, please come in." ”

Lu Xihe stepped into her boudoir, and the faint fragrance of flowers blew in the wind, "What Miss Fang said is very true. It is a waste of life to worry about something that is futile and to be saddened. ”

She paused in front of a screen, which was empty.

"This is where the music of the clouds used to be stored." Fang Zijin explained.

"Miss Fang doesn't have to worry, our company will definitely arrest him as soon as possible." Lu Xihe remembered the interior layout clearly, thought about it for a while, and then had a plan.

"Lord Lu always looks very serious, in fact, you look good when you smile." Fang Zijin smiled at her kindly, without any malice.

Miss Fang smiled. Let's get down to business, I have an idea that Miss Fang may need to take a risk, would you like to hear it? Lu Xihe's tone of speech was no different from before, Fang Zijin hesitated for a moment, and agreed: "Since it is Lord Lu's method, I naturally believe it." Lord Lu, but it doesn't hurt. ”

Lu Xihe attached to her ear and explained the ins and outs.

Fang Zijin's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and then he took her hand, "I agree with Lord Lu's method." It's just my father's..."

"Nanyang Hou, Miss Fang doesn't have to worry, since Miss Fang has agreed, let's prepare as soon as possible." Lu Xihe saw Liu Feng pacing back and forth outside the door, obviously waiting impatiently.

"That's nature." Fang Zijin is so smart, "It's just bothering the two adults to make a trip and have a cup of tea." ”

Lu Xihe politely declined her kindness, and quickly got away on the grounds that he was on official business.

"How?" Lu Xihe knew what Liu Feng was going to inspect, Liu Feng shook his head, "There is nothing abnormal, it seems that the thief is very cautious, and he can't catch him at all without some special methods." ”

"Isn't that simple? Since he is obsessed with Fang Zijin, we will give him Fang Zijin. Lu Xihe said lightly.

"What are you kidding? Our mission is to protect Fang Zijin and catch the thief. Are you sick? Liu Feng obviously disagreed with her statement, and was very disappointed, it turned out that the quality of the newcomers was so poor, and they were not as good as those coolies.

Of course, Lu Xihe knew what Liu Feng was thinking, and there was a flash of ridicule in her eyes.

"If you think about it from another angle, he thinks about Fang Zijin so much, he will not give up easily. You also saw that the Hou Mansion was heavily guarded, and there were countless secret guards who protected Fang Zijin's safety all night, and he had no idea where to start. In the past, he stole the painting, just to mess with the heart of the Hou Mansion. If he could do it, why did he wait until now? He must be waiting for an opportunity, a chance to get it all right. In that case, we will give him this opportunity and let him fall into the net. ”

Liu Feng suddenly realized that he had to re-examine this newcomer.

"That's the idea you played." Although Liu Feng thinks it is feasible, there is still a problem that cannot be solved, "Nanyang Hou loves Fang Zijin so much, will he be willing to let Fang Zijin take risks?" ”

Lu Xihe glanced at him sideways, with an innocent smile on his bright face, "Sixth brother, what is our Arrest Department for?" ”

Liu Feng patted his head, "It's still Xiao Jiu, you're smart!" In this way, I will talk to Nanyang Hou privately in a while. ”

"It's so good, it's hard work Sixth Brother." Lu Xihe said kind words on his lips, but he put a question mark on the ability of the Supervisory Arrest Division in his heart.

"The duty lies. By the way, Xiao Jiu, what do you think of a solution? ”

Seeing Liu Feng's honest appearance, Lu Xihe didn't hide too much. "It's very simple, we make a show and claim to have caught the thief. After that, it was the Hou Mansion, as long as they were willing to cooperate, remove the guards on the bright side, restore the previous appearance, and choose a good day to hold a banquet. ”

"This is that chance!" Liu Feng said excitedly, "Xiao Jiu, you are really smart!" ”

Lu Xihe smiled, the guards of the Nanyang Hou Mansion were too strict, which was really breathless.

"If it's okay, I'll go back to work. The sixth brother is at his own convenience. ”

Liu Feng said again and again that he was about to meet Nanyang Hou, and it was perfect for the two to separate.

"Miss..."Luluo stood outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, wanting to speak and stopping.

"What happened?" Lu Xihe saw that her expression was wrong, and asked in a low voice.

"The eldest young master's carriage just passed by, and he left a message, saying that it was going to... Talk to Miss. ”

Lu Yiran?

Her figure froze, and almost immediately returned to normal, "Got it." ”

At the beginning, he didn't say goodbye, in order to break off with the Lu family.

If he came to see him and persuaded him to turn back, what should she do?

Or take the opportunity to tear his face with him?

Lu Xihe fell into a deep contradiction, she had long expected such a day. But she didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

Coming soon... She can't be completely ruthless yet...

"Brother! Brother! I'm going to eat sugar gourds! ”

The immature child's voice attracted Lu Xihe's attention, and she looked at the corner of the street, and the person who spoke was a girl in pink clothes, and the double bun on her head was tied crookedly.

"Little flower, if you eat it again, your teeth will be bad." The older teenager rubbed her face. The girl coquettishly said: "Brother, I want to eat sugar gourd!" Just this time, okay, brother, please..."

Lu Xihe looked at the interaction between the two, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and his eyes were clear and bright, which was a long-lost light.

"Okay, just this once." The boy took a copper plate from his sleeve and handed it to the vendor selling sugar gourds.

The girl happily took the sugar gourd and ran away.

Seeing that Lu Xihe was distracted, the pothos asked uncertainly, "Miss?" Do you want to eat sugar gourds? ”

The pothos voice jerked her back to reality, and her eyes were stained with a layer of gloom, "No need, I'm long past the age of eating this." ”

Can't be ruthless?

If my brother is still here, he may not be ruthless.

But now, there is no need for her to be soft on those people.

All those who have hurt her brother, including Lu Yiran, she will personally send them on the road.

Thinking that she was hungry for a while, the pothos caught up with the vendor who sold sugar gourds and picked the biggest bunch and bought it back.

"Miss, eat." Pothos' eyes were shining, and she looked at her expectantly.

Lu Xihe lowered his head and stared at the string of sugar gourds, his heart was sour and unspeakable. The joy of childhood has long since disappeared, so what about the sugar gourd, no matter how sweet it is?

She tried her best to suppress her trembling hands, pinched the skewer of the sugar gourd, and broke the fragile wooden skewer with a "click", "This kind of thing, I can't look at it yet." ”

The pothos caught the sugar gourd in a panic and held it blankly.

Lu Xihe left without looking back.

Luluo looked at her, then at the sugar gourd, and finally stuffed the sugar gourd to a child, and chased after Lu Xihe.

The curtain of a private room was quietly lowered.
