Unknowingly, at night, Yan Bocheng sent a message back saying that there were many government affairs today, so he would not come back for dinner. So at night, Mrs. Yan introduced Ji Yunsheng and the three brothers of the Yan family to know each other, and there was an intention to let the brothers help Ji Yunsheng enter the hall, Yan Meng was a little surprised that Ji Yunsheng was favored by Mrs. Yan so quickly, but after thinking about it, although Mrs. Yan entered the Yan clan ancestral hall a hundred years later, in the end, the Ji family is her maiden family, and Ji Yunsheng is the only son of the Ji family, so it is reasonable.

After eating, Yan Chunan followed Yan Meng to Youlan Courtyard with some heavy thoughts, and it happened that Yan Meng also wanted to find an opportunity to tell him to stay away from Ji Yunsheng and avoid the road of his previous life, and the two returned to the courtyard together.

After entering the study, Yan Chunan branched out the others again, and when he saw that there was no one around, he showed a worried look

"I have news of Du's mother, but things are a little tricky."

"How?"

Yan Chunan pinched his cuffs, his eyebrows locked, "After you told me that day, I went to the government to report the case first, and the government said that it would take a while to negotiate with Lingzhou, but I think if Du's mother has returned to Beijing in the past few days, she will send someone to ask Du's mother in private, but it is very strange." ”

He paused, pondering his sentence, "It's as if there's a thread pulling me along." ”

"Line?" Yan Meng raised his eyebrows.

Yan Chunan nodded, "Yes, I found the portrait of Du's mother and asked the vendors at Chengkou if they had seen Du's mother, and the vendors said that they saw her out of the city more than a month ago, and the restaurants outside the city also had an impression of Du's mother, don't you think it's strange?" Du's mother is just an ordinary woman, and the population flow between China and Beijing is also large, but why do people have an impression of her at every foothold that Du's mother will pass through? ”

"But I looked for someone to check Du's mother's exit from the city, and I could also find out that Du's mother did go out of the city on the sixth day of last month. It's just that I think it's a little weird, it's like..."

"It's as if someone knew in advance that you were going to find Mother Du." Yan Meng's voice was low, and he continued to speak for Yan Chunan. There is no abnormality is the most abnormal, it stands to reason that the daily flow of people at the entrance and exit of the capital is so large, who will be impressed by the mother who has met a month ago? Moreover, even if there is a record of entering and leaving the city, it is not difficult to fabricate it according to Yan Bocheng's status.

"Yes!" Yan Chunan looked up at Yan Meng with some surprise, how did she know?

But seeing Yan Meng with his head down, silent and silent, he looked a little sad, thinking that Yan Meng was a delicate child, and it was not difficult to figure it out, he suddenly felt that he was impulsive, and Du's mother's matter had not yet been settled, so he only told her about his confusion for a while, which undoubtedly increased her worries and worries, and she felt a little regretful in her heart

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, you wait and see, I'll give you an answer in a few days." He pretended to smile at Yan Meng relaxedly, but in his heart, he felt that if someone was really pulling him secretly, then Du's mother's matter would not be as simple as it seemed.

Yan Meng didn't look at Yan Chunan, staring at the pages on the table and didn't know what he was thinking, his eyelashes reflected a shadow in the light of the candlelight, bent like a row of flat boats, for some reason Yan Chunan felt that even if such Yan Meng was in front of him, he was still far away from him, and he couldn't tell what emotions she had, he had never seen such a Yan Meng.

"What if Du's mother is really in trouble." The head was still slightly bowed, and the shoulders trembled slightly under the candle shadow, with a nasal voice that was easy to detect.

Yan Chunan walked up to Yan Meng's side, squatted down, stroked her with his hand, said in a calm tone, and said slowly, "Xiao Meng is not afraid, there is a brother." ”

One sentence broke all Yan Meng's defenses, even if she entered the cold palace in her previous life, she spent her days with the snakes, insects, rats and ants, and she never shed a single tear. And although she cried many times after being reborn, those tears were only used to disguise herself. Now when she faces the care of her loved ones, she can't help but redden. How many times in her previous life did she wish that her brother was still there, and she could comfort herself when she was frightened and overwhelmed countless times. She was both remorseful and happy, regretting that she was greedy for power in her previous life and didn't care about her brother's death, but fortunately God gave her a chance to start over, so that she could not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Yan Chunan, who was half-squatting and looking up at Yan Meng, gently stroked her back with his hand, his eyes were full of reassuring emotions, "Xiao Meng, don't worry, my brother will take a good look at Du's mother's affairs, If you are unhappy, go to the yard to find me, my brother has always been." ”

"Hmm." Yan Meng couldn't say anything at the moment, and nodded vigorously, although she was afraid that she was much older than Yan Chunan in her real age after a lifetime, but when Yan Chunan stood in front of her as an elder brother, she seemed to have returned to her childhood, no matter what she did wrong, her brother took care of the aftermath for herself, no matter how timid she was, her brother was secretly encouraging.

"Okay, don't cry, your face is spent, it's weird and ugly." Yan Chunan wiped away Yan Meng's tears and stood up, just standing firmly, he sat on the ground with a slightly painful expression.

She hurriedly got up, wanting to help Yan Chunan up, "Brother, what's wrong with you." ”

Yan Chunan pressed Yan Meng hard, "Don't... Don't move... Don't help me. I tried to squeeze out a smile that I thought was natural, but in Yan Meng's opinion, it was more ugly than crying.

Yan Meng was slightly stunned, looked at Yan Chunan, thought of the posture he squatted down just now, and suddenly understood, looking at Yan Chunan's expression, he couldn't help but feel funny, "But your legs are numb?" ”

"Hey, just take it easy."

"Well, by the way, what does my brother think of Ji Yunsheng?" Yan Meng mentioned the purpose of looking for Yan Chunan today. Seeing that Yan Chunan's legs should not be numb, he helped him back to his original position.

"What?" Yan Chunan was a little confused by the topic that suddenly turned away. "Why did you mention Cousin Ji for no reason?"

"Today, I heard from the fourth sister that the cousin of the Ji family doesn't seem to be very good." Yan Meng's eyes were clear and he looked at Yan Chunan. "So I want to ask brother, what do you think of Cousin Ji?"

Yan Chunan lowered his head and pondered for a while, at the dinner table just now, he was thinking about Du's mother, and he didn't have the heart to deal with Ji Yunsheng, Yan Meng asked him a little like this

"Hmm... Today is just the first time we met, and I don't have a deep impression of him. Yan Chunan said truthfully.

"Today, I heard from the fourth sister that Cousin Ji seems to have another secret when he came to our house." Yan Meng suddenly lowered his voice, and his mysterious appearance aroused Yan Chunan's curiosity and poked his head over

"What's the secret?"

"It seems to be because of some woman..."Yan Meng lowered his head, his tone was a little sad, "The fourth sister and the eldest sister said, I... I didn't hear it really...."The expression was a little unnatural, as if it was hiding something.

"Fourth sister is difficult for you again?"

"No, just listen to her and her eldest sister that Cousin Ji is old but he hasn't entered Jingwentang, and he is still entangled with some woman..."

"Don't you like to listen to the fourth sister talk about them on weekdays? Why did you get into this today? ”

"Today afternoon, the sisters left first after feeding the fish, you also know Yuchen's temperament, a few words for me, the tone was a little disrespectful, just happened to be heard by Cousin Ji, Cousin Ji not only didn't care about Yuchen's disrespectful words, but also comforted me, saying that I could go to him if I had something...."

"Looking for him?" Yan Chunan couldn't help frowning, although Yan Meng was still young now, and he had cousins with Ji Yunsheng, it was understandable to say comforting words, but there was some Meng Lang in such words.

"Hmm. I don't think Cousin Ji is bad like this. Yan Meng looked at Yan Chunan cautiously, Yan Chunan looked at her a little soft-hearted, she was quiet on weekdays, she didn't make much friends with the nobles in Beijing, and she didn't have any friends, now someone would have a good impression of her, and she reached out and touched Yan Meng's head

"My brother has not befriended him yet, and I don't know him what he is like when I first meet him today. But he's a lot older than you, and you've just met, so don't get too close to him, okay? Yan Chunan knew that Yan Meng's mind was pure, and he couldn't detect the ambiguity in his words, regardless of the truth of Yan Jingyuan's words, just such words made it seem that this person needed to be cautious about making friends.

"Okay, listen to my brother~" Yan Meng smiled, seeing the hesitation in Yan Chunan's eyes, he knew that he must be suspicious of Ji Yunsheng, and he couldn't just say that he should stay away from Ji Yunsheng, let him have scruples first, and then get along with Ji Yunsheng for many times.

However, this is all based on Yan Chunan's trust in her, moved by her brother's unconditional trust, and her heart is slightly warm. She must beware of those people, teach Yan Chunan not to be close to those people, if the Zhao family still tries to hurt her brother in this life, don't blame her for being ruthless!

Thinking of Ji Yunsheng's fiery gaze at Yan Jingshu, what Ji Yunsheng wanted when she came to Yan Mansion, she was like a mirror in her heart, only to find out that the Ji family was not having an easy time now, she had no talent, and her career was comparable to ascending to the sky, if she wanted to take on the burden of the Ji family, finding a powerful wife was undoubtedly the fastest and most convenient way, but how could he do it?

Yan Meng and Yan Chunan talked for a while before it was night, and Yan Chunan saw that it was late at night and went back to the courtyard. Looking at Yan Chunan's distant back, she originally told Yan Chunan about Du's mother's disappearance, but she just took him as an intermediary and conveyed her worries about Du's mother, Du's mother was already unable to escape this catastrophe, and Yan Bocheng was in the middle, and there may be grievances entangled decades ago.

And according to her understanding of Yan Bocheng in her previous life, now that all the evidence of Du's mother matter should be deployed, even if Yan Chunan has doubts but can face so much evidence, she is helpless, without touching those entanglements, Yan Bocheng will not easily move Yan Chunan. Du's mother's affairs can only be investigated by herself, and her brother cannot be implicated. Now she knows that she is not capable enough to act rashly, so she can only wait for the opportunity and wait for the opportunity to act.

In the evening, after listening to the lotus rain and waiting for Yan Meng to freshen up, he told Yan Meng the news he heard from Qingli today

Qingli said that Aunt Jiang doesn't trust her now, and she doesn't tell her to do things that are related to interests. Aunt Jiang looked like that again, and she couldn't guess Aunt Jiang's attitude, but when the eldest lord stayed at Aunt Jiang's place a while ago, he sometimes mentioned the eldest lady's marriage. "Qingli followed Aunt Jiang because of the lack of rules, so it was convenient for Yan Meng to find out the news, what if Qingli didn't know Aunt Jiang's heart, since she was put by her side and waited, how could it be useless?

"No wonder..."Aunt Jiang's satisfied look is not the satisfaction of picking a son-in-law?
