Lu Ziqing smiled and didn't speak, Meng Xiaoran nodded at him, "It's late at night, I'll go back first, and Lu Gongzi will rest early." With that, he turned and left.

Lu Ziqing didn't speak, turned his head to look at the back of her leaving, didn't move for a long time, after a while, he turned his head, looked at the calm pool water, and suddenly smiled, "This pool of spring water is already chaotic, why bother to calm it down again?" ”

After that night of conversation, there seemed to be a little more wonderful feeling between the two, as if they had a friend with a common secret, Meng Xiaoran was no longer worried that her actions would hurt him, and more importantly, she confirmed that Lu Ziqing was the one who would not sabotage her actions, which made her greatly relieved.

Since Lu Ziqing announced the relationship between the two in public, her status in the Prime Minister's Mansion has become delicate, she is now the nominal concubine of the young master, and everyone naturally does not dare to offend, but who in this mansion does not know the eldest lady's thoughts, lest she be too enthusiastic about her and annoy the eldest lady, so Meng Xiaoran lived in this Moyuzhai without embarrassment.

But fortunately, she didn't care about all this, the only advantage of coming here was that she didn't have to do things anymore, and she was a little bored every day, so she called Xiaocui and asked her to inquire about the news of the various courtyards in the house, and she had to tell her everything one by one.

There is also a harvest in doing this, Xiao Cui said to her that there seems to be something wrong with the main courtyard today, Liu Yingyuan was furious in the study, and broke a piece of fine black jade paperweight, which is his favorite on weekdays, and he doesn't know what happened to make him so angry.

Meng Xiaoran's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he asked inadvertently, "Is there any movement in other courtyards?" Where did the old man go after he got angry? ”

Xiao Cui shook her head, "I haven't heard of any movement in other courtyards...... Oh, by the way, Madame seems to have taken someone to deliver soup in front of the master's study, and was stopped, and the master seemed to have left the house in a hurry after getting angry, and did not go to any courtyard. ”

It seems that the Chen family also heard the news, could it be that Liu Yingyuan has a situation there? What happened to make him so aggressive, you know, Liu Xiangye is known for being thoughtful, if something really happened, he would never be like this.

After Meng Xiaoran heard this, she let Xiaocui go out, she sat in the room and thought, after a while, she still planned to go out to investigate, now that she has a different identity, she can walk around the mansion and have a look, and no one will stop her.

At this time, night fell, the sun set in the west mountain, the outside was shrouded in a faint darkness, she walked in the direction of the main courtyard, her eyes have been paying attention to the surroundings, and when she came to the vicinity of the main courtyard, she suddenly made a discovery, only to see the sky above the main courtyard, a burst of figures flew by, the express delivery was extremely fast, if it were not for her learning martial arts, excellent eyesight, she would never find abnormalities.

Meng Xiaoran stopped, had a plan in his heart, turned around and planned to go back, but when he turned around, he saw Liu Ruxue, the "enemy" he hadn't seen for many days.

For Liu Ruxue, it was really an enemy who was very red when she saw her, her eyes like sharp knives shot at Meng Xiaoran, but Meng Xiaoran no longer dodged like before, raised her head to meet her gaze, and had a faint smile on her face.

"I've seen the eldest lady." Meng Xiaoran saluted her slightly, which stimulated Liu Ruxue even more, and she glared at Meng Xiaoran with a cold face.

", who gave you the audacity to be so rampant? Get on my knees! ”

Meng Xiaoran smiled faintly, "Miss, now that I'm no longer a maid, you don't have to be angry when you see me, I'll leave now, don't get in the way of your eyes." With that, he walked forward.

Liu Ruxue didn't expect her to be so indifferent to herself, she immediately couldn't control the anger in her heart, raised her hand and slapped her fiercely.

This time, Meng Xiaoran would not let it fight again, and let her pounce if she gave way slightly, if it wasn't for Chunya and Dongshuang supporting her, she would definitely fall to the ground.

"Miss, I'll go back first, the night view in the house is also very good, you can enjoy it slowly." After speaking, I didn't look at Liu Ruxue, and turned around and left.

Liu Ruxue, who was left with a shocked face, came back to her senses after a while, and immediately became furious, "Slut, it's just a cousin's girl who warms the bed, and she thinks she is a serious lady?" ”

She broke away from the hands of the two maids, turned around and slapped each of them, "Useless thing, you didn't come forward to help when you saw that the master was being bullied?" Hum! He glared at them and walked forward.

When I came to the main courtyard, I was about to walk in as usual, but I was stopped, and there were two more people guarding the gate of the courtyard, these two people Liu Ruxue had never seen before, and their whole body exuded a domineering momentum.

Liu Ruxue was angry from Meng Xiaoran just now, and was stopped at the door at this time, and immediately became angry and shouted at them angrily, "Where did you come from, the dog slave!" How dare you stand in the way of Miss Ben? Let my father know, and see how he punishes you. ”

"The eldest lady forgives the sin, it was ordered by the prime minister, and no one is allowed to enter the main courtyard." Although the words were respectful, there was no expression on his face, which made Liu Ruxue sullen for a while, and was about to have a seizure, when the housekeeper came out of it.

nodded at Liu Ruxue with a smile on her face, "Miss, Xiangye will have something important to deal with, so I ordered to come down and not let people go in to disturb me, Miss, it's better to go back first, when Xiangye is done, the slave will report to him and let Xiangye go to see you, what do you think?" ”

This housekeeper has also been in the Xiangfu for decades, and Liu Ruxue can be regarded as something he grew up watching, this will be so kind of persuasion, Liu Ruxue is naturally not easy to attack, snorted coldly and turned around with the two maids.

Meng Xiaoran hurriedly returned to Mo Yuzhai, returned to her room and took out a pen and paper to write a note, and then went to the pulp washing place to find Xiaochun, and she was relieved after the news was sent.

*Shen House*

Shen Qian was sitting at the table looking through the account book, when Qingfeng knocked on the door, pushed the door in after getting the answer, and handed the note in his hand with both hands.

Shen Qian's eyes moved away from the ledger, took the note and opened it, his face changed slightly after reading the content on it, Qing Feng knew that something must have happened when he saw this, and immediately asked, "Childe, what's wrong?" ”

Shen Qian thought for a while and said to him, "Go and gather twenty secret guards immediately, and you take them to ambush outside the Prime Minister's Mansion." Qingfeng took the order and went out.

He immediately left the study, returned to his room, opened the closet, took out a black night coat, changed his clothes, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the night.

First went out to make arrangements, and after entrusting all the business in Yujing City to his cronies, he rushed to the vicinity of the Prime Minister's Mansion and joined Qingfeng, Qingfeng was a little surprised when he saw him, "Childe, you also come over?" ”

Shen Qian nodded and said in a low voice: "This time the matter is extraordinary, I am more relieved to follow."

His martial arts skills were higher than everyone else's, but Qingfeng didn't agree with him, "Childe, you can leave these things to your subordinates, why bother to come with you?" ”

"As I said, this time is not trivial, it is very likely to be a breakthrough, and I must follow."

"But there are so many businesses in Beijing, and everything has to be handled by Gongzi, how can I leave?"

"I've got everything in order, you don't have to worry."

"But the son is gone, what if Miss Meng is in danger in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Meng Xiaoran has indeed been in danger many times these times, but fortunately, in the end, he turned the danger into a disaster, and Qingfeng has always seen his son's worries, so he will say this at this time.

Shen Qian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he hooked his lips and smiled, "She should be safe these days, at least someone will protect her." Qing Feng naturally knew who the person he was talking about was, and he didn't dare to say more.

They arrived from the moment of the hour to the time when they waited for the son and there was still no movement, and everyone was a little puzzled in their hearts, why did Gongzi let them come over? Shen Qian has not moved, he firmly believes that there will definitely be a move in the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight.

Sure enough, after waiting for another hour, there was movement in the sky above the Prime Minister's Mansion, and a large number of black shadows flew out from that direction, the speed was very fast, and they disappeared into the night, Shen Qian made a gesture, and everyone stopped moving, and after a while, they chased in the direction where the black shadow left.

Shen Qian knew that their martial arts were not weak when he looked at their speed, so they didn't dare to get too close, and they followed behind them all the time.

The group of people seemed to be tireless, and they didn't mean to stop halfway, but fortunately, Shen Qian brought out all the masters, and everyone didn't feel too tired.

After a day's drive, Shen Qian saw that their speed had slowed down from afar, and immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and he looked at it for a while and found that the group of people had stopped in the forest in front of them, presumably to rest.

So he also took the secret guards to land quietly, everyone was already very experienced when they went out, and each of them brought a baggage, filled with water and dry food.

Everyone sat on the ground, drank some water, and ate dry food, suddenly Shen Qian stood up, signaled everyone not to make a sound, he turned sideways, his ears were in the direction of the group of people resting, and then said softly: "Prepare to go, they are leaving."

Everyone immediately packed up their things, tied their burdens to their bodies, and a few of them jumped up, stepped on the trunk of the tree, and flew to the top of the tree, and sure enough, they saw a group of black shadows in the distance, and it seemed that there were about twenty or thirty people, and it seemed that there would be a fierce battle at that time.

Shen Qian stepped on a branch at the top of the tree on tiptoe, stood at the front and looked at it for a while, and felt that the time was almost up, so he immediately chased forward, Qingfeng followed beside him, and twenty secret guards followed in an orderly manner.

While performing light skills, he carefully observed the terrain, this direction is to Chongzhou, could it be that Liu Yingyuan's gold mine is in Chongzhou?

The group chased after the man in black for three days, and everyone's physical strength was a little exhausted, and Shen Qian saw that the group in front of him seemed to be tired, and he stopped in a forest after dawn on the third day and never left, presumably resting.

Shen Qian immediately discussed with Qing Feng and let the dark guards rest on the spot, the two of them took turns to rest, and one of them had to keep an eye on the movements over there.

Qingfeng insisted on letting Shen Qian rest first, Shen Qian knew his character, he was very stubborn, if he didn't agree, then neither of them would want to rest, so he nodded, found a tree to rest, and rushed for three days, he was so tired that he quickly fell asleep.
