Huan Yi let out a cold sneer, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he looked like he was in a good place, just looking at the two people with flustered faces, his face full of interest.

Jiang Mo couldn't help but take a deep breath, even though his cheeks were extremely stiff, he still pulled out a coquettish smile, "Little boy, you said that as long as the concubine takes the cat away, you won't care about the concubine locking you." ”

Huan squinted at her, "How could Young Master Ben ever say such a thing, I'm afraid that you are mistaken, or think about it now, how will you die later." ”

Hearing this, Xuan'er was completely desperate, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", crying pitifully, "Little master, this is all the slave's idea, don't embarrass the girl." ”

At this moment, I heard a noise outside, and vaguely heard the startled cranes and waterfowl fluttering their wings, setting off gusts of wind.

Aunt Wei's voice faintly came, "You can't let go of any corner, you can search carefully, can a big living person still be lost for no reason, if anyone is lazy and slack, the second young master and I will never spare it." ”

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and even the cat was frightened and hid under the cupboard.

The smile on Huan Yi's face became more and more obvious, and he looked at Jiang Mo and sneered, "Your slave is still a person who understands current affairs, don't you kneel?" ”

"Kneel, the concubine naturally wants to kneel down and ask for your forgiveness." As she spoke, she glanced at the deadbolt on the ground, then quietly picked it up and hid it behind her.

She walked in front of Huan Yi step by step, and she could almost clearly see her shadow reflected in his eyes.

Just when Huan Yi looked at her with a cold face and wanted to beg for mercy in front of him, he saw her take out a wooden stick from behind her back, and hit him on the head fiercely, and he fainted in an instant.

Xuan'er on the side was frightened and frightened, and a pair of dark eyes looked here, not knowing what to do.

"Don't be stunned, come and help." Jiang Mo threw down the stick in his hand, but his face was surprisingly calm.

***************

Huan Yu stood in the yard, watching the little servants make a mistake in the yard, even the frozen pool was also checked, and the house in the backyard was searched carefully, even the rat hole was not let go, but it was still not found.

Aunt Wei's gaze fell on Huan Yu beside her, and she tried her best to make her demeanor look the same as usual, "Is it possible for a good person to lose it for no reason?" Now the mansion has been searched all over the place, but I am afraid that I sneaked out of the mansion last night. ”

After speaking, Aunt Wei became more and more annoyed, pointed to the Sanskrit sound on the side and scolded, "It's all because you didn't serve well, and even the vigil didn't know where Ah Yi went. ”

Fanyin was also full of helplessness, she went out last night after she slept while serving Huan Yi, but the maid who kept vigil was in a daze, and she didn't even know when Huan Yi went out.

When she came to serve him in the middle of the day to freshen up, the bed was already cold, so she was busy counting the silver tickets and clothes, and only a cloak was missing. And the silver ticket is also half a lot.

She hurriedly returned to the master, and the protector was furious, so he ordered someone to look for it in the house, and then went outside to look for it.

Soon the little guys who were searching in the backyard all came over, and they all replied that they had not found any trace of Huan Yi.

Huan Yu frowned slightly, "Have you searched all here?" ”

Bucai hurriedly walked out, pointed to the dilapidated and small house of Jiangmo, and said, "The minions of the girl Jiangmo's house really dare not search. ”

Aunt Wei glanced at the narrowest room and said with a smile, "This kind of room can't afford such a battle, I'll just go in and take a look." ”

However, as soon as her words fell, she saw that Huan Yu had already walked towards Jiangmo's house, and there was a little more dust between her clothes, and even the dust on the bluestone steps seemed to be avoiding him.

Aunt Wei's willow eyebrows wrinkled slightly, but she still moved over.

Fanyin was anxious in her heart, although she asked Xuan'er and said that the second young master was not in Jiangmo's house, but she became more and more suspicious, and she didn't wait for anyone to order, so she quietly followed behind Aunt Wei and followed.

Huan's distinct fingers clasped on the door, and soon the door was opened, and it was Xuan'er, the maid of Jiangmo.

"Second son." Xuan'er looked at Huan Yu, and there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

At this time, Aunt Wei had already walked over and said with a smile, "Ah Yi doesn't know where he went, the master said that he would search the mansion, and your girl can get up." ”

Xuan'er hurriedly replied, "I got up early, my aunt and the second young master please." ”

After saying that, she respectfully avoided the side, and after the two of them went in, she hurried to serve tea.

Huan Yu stepped into the house, but he had an unobstructed view, and he didn't know what year and month it was, all the old things that were not used were piled up here, but even the maids in the mansion would not live in such a house.

And next to the half-new dresser, Jiang Mo was sitting there, with a faint trace of sadness between his eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that seemed to contain water.

And around her neck, there was an iron chain tied to her neck, and when she heard a sound, she hurriedly raised her head, and then the iron chain around her neck rubbed against the bluestone floor, making a harsh sound.

Huan Yu's gaze fell on the iron chain, and his gaze suddenly became cold, "What's going on?" ”

Before Jiang Mo could speak, Na Fanyin hurriedly said, "This is what the little young master ordered yesterday to stop her here." ”

When he heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, "Go get the key." ”

"The little young master said yesterday that no one can open the chains without his orders." Fanyin's face was proud, and he seemed very reluctant to let go of Jiangmo like this.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a cold gaze sweeping towards her, and when she looked up, she saw the anger on Huan Yu's face.

In her opinion, Huan Yu treats people generously, even if he makes a mistake, he will not be punished too much, and others seem to be a god-like figure, the most bodhisattva-hearted. And this is such a person, showing such a cold gaze, she suddenly knelt on the ground, and did not even dare to say words begging for mercy.

"Go out and get your punishment." Huan Yu's eyes changed uncertainly, but the fierceness gradually dissipated.

Aunt Wei's eyes kept falling on Huan Yu's body, as if she was trying her best to guess his thoughts, and then turned her head and said coldly to the panicked Fanyin, "Ah Yi's nonsense is all instigated by you, and you don't return to the lord and lady when something like this happens, but you still hide it for him." ”

Fanyin was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, her eyes full of fear, "The slave knows that she is wrong, please ask my aunt and the second son to spare the slave and maid this time." ”

Jiang Mo slowly stood up from the mirror table, there was a smile on the corner of her lips, she knew in her heart that Aunt Wei didn't dare to say what the Sanskrit sound was.

Because Aunt Wei didn't want to offend Huan Yi, and although he was willful, he was indeed extremely protective, just because the master doted on him very much, and even she didn't pay attention to her.

Sure enough, as Jiang Mo expected, Aunt Wei's face softened a little when she heard her words begging for mercy, "Why don't you go and get the key quickly, I will never spare it next time." ”

When Fanyin heard this, her heart became more and more proud, but just as she was about to stand up, a cold voice came again, clearly reaching her ears, "Go to the housekeeper and get twenty sticks." ”

Suddenly, the arrogance on his head had not dissipated, and he felt a blow to his head, and looked at Huan Yu with tears on his face, but he didn't dare to beg for mercy anymore.

"I don't have to go get the keys." Jiang Mo flicked the chain with his fingers, with a faint smile on his face, "I did something wrong, I just deserve it." ”

"Ah Yi didn't know where he went, and the master ordered to search the house, and it happened to be found in the house." Aunt Wei smiled kindly.

The dark eyes glanced at the house, and then fell on the one-foot-high wooden box in the house, and said with a faint smile, "I only have the box containing old things in this house that can still hide people, so I will open it for my aunt." ”

Aunt Wei couldn't help laughing, her eyes only glanced at the box, and then took it back, "You still take it seriously, it's better to be a good person who hides in that wooden box and what to do, don't bother." ”

Jiang Mo's gaze couldn't help but fall on Huan Yu's face, but he saw that he was still the same as usual.

And at this moment, I saw a sound of footsteps outside, and then a figure stopped outside the door, and then a voice came through the crack in the door, "Second Young Master, just now Li Yushi sent someone to post, saying that you are invited to the banquet tomorrow, tomorrow is his birthday." ”

Jiang Mo's heart tightened suddenly, and her fingers grabbed the corners of her clothes, that Li Yushi lived in her home, the former Shangshu Mansion, but there were still things left to her by her father in the study, she must take them.

Aunt Wei knew that because the mansion was a pain in Huan Yu's heart, in previous years, Li Yushi came to invite him, and he would not go.

She didn't wait for Huan Yu to speak, so she ordered, "Go and wrap ten taels of silver for the person who sent the post, and then ask the housekeeper to pick up a few antiques and send them over." ”

Jiang Mo pursed his lips and said with a faint smile, "Now that the emperor hates the Qing family to the core, if you don't go, I'm afraid that those rumors will say that the adults are obsessed with the death of those traitors." ”

After she finished speaking, Huan Yu's gaze swept over, and his eyes were facing each other, all as usual.

"But that's the truth." Huan Yu was silent for a moment, and then instructed the person outside the door, "I just said that I will go to the banquet tomorrow." ”

Aunt Wei's face turned pale in an instant, and her eyes skimmed over Jiang Mo and Huan Yu's bodies, but there was a trace of jealousy in her eyes. She could almost sensitively sniff out that their relationship was anything but ordinary, but she couldn't guess it for a while.

At this moment, I saw Xuan'er walking in slowly, and on the tray in her hand, there were two tea cups.

The teacup is just ordinary fine porcelain, hastily depicting a pair of twisted and crooked fish, such a tea bowl is just used by the maids in the mansion, I didn't expect it to be served to Huan Yu and Aunt Wei.

It's no wonder that in addition to the cabinet full of ginseng bird's nests, Jiangmo and Xuan'er did not reward anything else, and what Jiangmo took out was also used by Jiangmo to drink tea before.

Jiang Mo couldn't help but sigh, "It's just some coarse tea, and I also ask my aunt and second young master to forgive me, don't blame me for being slack." ”

Aunt Wei looked at the tea bowl, her face had become weird, and when Xuan'er came over, she only took it, and she didn't even lift the lid, so she put it aside.

When Xuan'er went to bring tea to Huan Yu, her little face turned pale with fright, and even her fingers kept trembling.

Jiang Mo couldn't help but sigh, this Xuan'er's courage is too small, I just hope that she will hurry down after serving tea, with her like this, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of Huan Yu and Aunt Wei for a while.

However, when Huan Yu just reached out to take the tea from the tea tray, there was a sudden "knock" sound in the house, as if it was the sound of hitting the wooden board, although it was not big, but several people in the house could hear it clearly.

Xuan'er was frightened for a moment, and the plate in her hand fell to the ground in an instant, and the tea bowl was suddenly shattered, and even the ground was full of tea stalks.

Aunt Wei's eyebrows furrowed, and her gaze swept to Xuan'er, "Where did the voice come from?" ”

Taking advantage of the unpreparedness, Jiangmo hurriedly glanced at Xuan'er, and then she picked up the porcelain on the ground in a panic and left in a hurry.

Aunt Jiang Wei was still looking around, but Jiang Mo slowly walked towards the bed, with the rustle of iron chains, she slowly squatted down her thin body, and took out a skinny little cat from under the bed.

Jiangmo held it in his arms, and his fingers gently rubbed its soft fur, "You little thing, you are so restless, bumping all day long, what if you get hurt?" ”

Huan Yu's gaze looked at the cat, and it became a little complicated.

When Aunt Wei saw the cat, the doubts on her face gradually disappeared, but she continued, "Good girl, how did you raise this, Madame spoke, no cats are allowed in the mansion in the future, so it is better to send it away as soon as possible." ”

"Can you keep it?" There was a pitiful look on Jiangmo's face, "It is very well-behaved and never steals birds in its cage." ”

Aunt Wei was also full of helplessness, and said, "Even if it is Madame's words, naturally you can't be disobedient, I know you are reluctant, just grit your teeth and send it out." In the future, if others see it, will not the lady be angry? ”

As if he knew he was going to be discarded, the kitten jumped out of Jiangmo's arms and ran around the house.

Tears slid down her cheeks, and Jiang Mo bit her lip stubbornly, as if trying her best to restrain the sadness in her heart.

When Aunt Wei saw her like this, she showed a look of embarrassment.

And at this moment, I saw Huan Yu slowly pick up the cat from the ground and put it in his arms, the cat suddenly became well-behaved, only lying in Huan Yu's arms, a pair of mung bean-like eyes looking around.

"Stay." He walked over slowly, and handed the cat to Jiangmo's hand, his warm fingertips inadvertently touching her cold palm, and both of them were stunned.
