"Tell the shopkeeper, I haven't seen Ye Chen's figure since this morning!" The guy in the restaurant reported to Hou Laosan.

"Hmmm! Go get busy! The corners of Hou Laosan's mouth raised a smug smile, and he thought: Ren Yechen, your kid is like a ghost, no matter how much you talk like a river, just because you derelict your duties today and don't come to work in the restaurant, I will be completely sure that I will inform the young lady of this matter and drive your kid out of the cold mansion!

When it was getting late, the guest officers of the restaurant had left, and Hou Laosan immediately walked towards the Han Mansion, rushing to make Ye Chen's small report in front of Miss Han Yanrou.

Coincidentally, he had just come to the gate of the Han Mansion, and Han Yanrou had just finished his business and returned to the mansion.

Seeing this, Hou Laosan immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "The old slave has seen the eldest lady!" ”

"The shopkeeper doesn't need to be polite! It's not early now, you came to Hanfu so late, did you have something to look for me? Hanyan asked softly.

Hou Laosan hurriedly said, "I'm really sorry to disturb Miss so late!" The old slave did have something to tell Miss. Miss, do you remember the little two who wanted to offend you in the restaurant? ”

Han Yanrou frowned slightly, thought for a while, and nodded, "Hmm!" I still have a little impression, it's the filial son who sold himself to bury his father and brother, right? ”

"And please don't be deceived by his appearance! Today, Ye Chen doesn't know what to do! I didn't go to work in the restaurant all day! He has only been working in a restaurant for a few days, and he dares to neglect his duties! According to the old slave, he is just a waste man who is afraid of hardship! What filial son is he pretending to deceive Miss your sympathy! This person should be driven out of the cold mansion immediately! Hou Laosan looked righteous and righteous.

After hearing this, Han Yanrou thought for a moment and said, "Is it really as you said, he didn't go to the restaurant all day?" ”

"The old slave is telling the truth!" Hou Laosan replied.

"Then according to your opinion, do you think he has other intentions to come to the Cold Mansion? Then if you drive him out of the cold mansion because of this, will it be too unkind! What if there is something unspeakable about him that we don't know? I think it's better to ask clearly before making a decision! Han Yansoft said softly.

Seeing that his young lady was hesitant, Hou Laosan continued to persuade, "Miss! Even if there is something unspeakable, he should have told me in advance that he can't go to the restaurant if he has something to do today? But he didn't say anything, this is not a thief! So please don't be a woman! ”

"But, shopkeeper Hou, I think," Han Yanrou could not finish her words when she was interrupted by another pleasant female voice.

Han Yanyao saw that her sister was at the gate of the house, not to mention how happy she was, she was elated, and she jumped up and down to her sister's side, and said, "Sister, my sister wants to kill you!" Why don't you go in when you get to the cold mansion? Are you discussing something with the shopkeeper? Is it business? Did I bother you? ”

Hou Laosan smiled and said, "Second Miss, I haven't discussed business matters with the eldest lady!" We're thinking about whether or not to kick a subordinate named Ye Chen out of the Cold Mansion! ”

Han Yanyao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who did you say you drove away?" ”

"One named Ye Chen!" Hou Laosan repeated.

Han Yanyao was sure that she had heard correctly, and she asked curiously, "Shopkeeper Hou, why did you drive Ye Chen away?" ”

Hou Laosan told the second lady what he had just said again, only to see Han Yanyao say embarrassedly, "That, Hou shopkeeper, I think you misunderstood Ye Chen!" He didn't have something unspeakable, he wasn't derelict in his duties, it was because of me! ”

Han Yan and Hou Laosan were all surprised, "Little sister! What do you mean by saying because of you? Han Yanrou asked curiously.

Han Yanyao explained embarrassedly, "Oops! Sister, today I put paper kites in the yard when I had nothing to do, who knew that the string suddenly broke, just Ye Chen passed by, I asked him to help me pick up the paper kite on the roof, who would have thought that he was so careless and dropped his leg! Lang Zhong also came to see it, but fortunately there was no big deal! ”

After listening to her little sister's answer, Han Yanrou said to Hou Laosan in front of her, "Hou shopkeeper, I believe that little sister she won't lie!" Now that the matter has been figured out, then, because Ye Chen injured his leg, let him take care of his leg and go to the restaurant again! ”

"Yes! Miss. It seems that the old slave is indeed thinking too much! Hou Laosan replied embarrassedly, but he was secretly surprised in his heart: When did this Ye Chen get involved with the second lady again?

Hou Laosan said goodbye and left, and Han Yanyao also took her sister's hand and entered the Han Mansion.

In a dilapidated City God Temple, a black figure is pacing back and forth in it, judging from the graceful figure, it should be a woman, wearing a black night clothes, is it looking out, it seems to be waiting for someone!

"Didn't Elder Zhang tell me to report the situation in this City God Temple every three days? It's the fourth day, why hasn't the chess pieces he said about arranging to enter the Cold Mansion move at all? Could it be that something happened? The woman said to herself.

The woman waited for a while, her expression becoming more and more anxious, "Hey! It's not an option to wait like this! Miss Ben should go to the cold mansion to find out in person! Elder Zhang didn't tell me either, that person's name, but he has a token on his body, and he is a subordinate who has only recently entered the Cold Mansion, so it shouldn't be difficult to find! After speaking, this black shadow disappeared into the City God Temple.

The maid Ling'er was about to go back to the room to rest, and when she passed a rockery, she was suddenly covered by someone, which made her heart cold.

A cold female voice sounded in her ears, "Don't make a sound! If you dare to make a little noise, I'll tear your pretty face!" ”

Ling'er held back the fear in her heart and nodded violently.

The devilish voice rang out again, "Tell me, where do you live with your new recruits?" ”

Ling'er didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly pointed in the direction where Ye Chen was.

Having received the answer she wanted, the woman in black let go of the maid and finally warned her, "Remember! You didn't see anyone tonight! Didn't say anything! If you dare to chew on the root of your tongue, watch your tongue! You're good to go! ”

Ling'er immediately ran back to her room as if she had been amnesty, the fear in her heart was still very strong, and her mood couldn't calm down for a while.

Ye Chen didn't know why he had become so sleepy, maybe it was because he had been working too hard recently, and his body felt tired, he didn't long after seeing Han Yanyao go and fell asleep again, and he slept until now.

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, he looked towards the door, but saw that there seemed to be a person standing there, looking at him coldly.

"Hell—" Ye Chen shouted, drenching in cold sweat.

The figure stood there silently, motionless, and Ren Yechen shouted loudly.

Ye Chen shouted for a while, but no one came, and the shadow was motionless, as if it was lifeless at all.

Ye Chen began to wonder if he had seen it wrong, mistaking the shadow of the tree outside the house for a human figure. But fortunately, the fire candle was on the table next to Ye Chen, he struggled to sit up, picked up the fire candle and lit the candle, and used the candle to shine towards the door, only to see that there was indeed a black figure standing at the door, which really scared Ye Chen!

"Mom! There really are ghosts! ”

"It's you!"

A scream and a cry of astonishment rang out at the same time.
