Chapter Twenty-Three: The Familiar Courtyard

Early in the morning of that day, Feng Yan used a cup of tea to freshen up and change clothes, and then stepped out of the house with a pipa packed in a piano box.

The carriage was already waiting outside the courtyard, and the subordinates who were also guarding outside took the piano case in Feng Yan's hand and carefully placed it at the back of the carriage together with the guqin.

Feng Yuandao and Li sent their daughter and son-in-law out, and before leaving, Feng Yan looked behind her parents, "Didn't Xiao Qi come?" ”

Feng Yuandao laughed, "Xu has slept, this girl." ”

Li laughed again, "When I woke up for a while, I blamed us for not calling her up." ”

"Forget it, it's not bad to meet this time, don't call her," Feng Yan said with a smile, she sighed and looked at her parents with some reluctance, "I'...... And that's where the journey begins. ”

"Go ahead." Li Shi looked at his daughter, and suddenly remembered the scene of getting married two days ago, and couldn't help but sour his nose again, "You two, you're all right." ”

Wei Xingzhen helped Feng Yan into the car and said goodbye to Feng's father and Feng's mother.

The carriage set off leisurely, thinking about the direction of the Wei Mansion, and there was a little servant watching this scene not far away, and then ran towards Feng Xiaoqi's courtyard as if flying.

In the room, Feng Xiaoqi, who heard the news, stood up, although it was dawn, Feng Xiaoqi was already dressed neatly, and so was Feng Yishu on the side.

"Then let's split up."

……

The first time she entered Wei Xingzhen's mansion, Feng Yan always had a strange sense of déjà vu.

She had never been to this place before, but there was a certain familiarity that was unfamiliar to her.

For example, the courtyard wall of a certain courtyard was separated by a dense row of bamboo trees—she stood there for a long time, thinking that there should be a small bamboo forest in this place.

This feeling is so natural, because, if she were the hostess of this courtyard, she would have planted green bamboo here.

For example, when you turn the corner and come across a cluster of flowers, in which are planted with rhododendrons and poppies.

Feng Yan looked at Siye, and immediately felt that poppies and cuckoos should be planted here.

Every stone bench, every little pond...... Feng Yan felt that this huge mansion looked so pleasing to the eye, and there was not a single furnishing or decoration that did not suit her heart.

"It's a small building ahead," Wei Xingzhen said softly, "There's a bell at the door, if Ah Yan needs help, shake that copper bell, and the servants elsewhere will come when they hear it." ”

"Lord Wei seems to think of me too delicately." Feng Yan said softly, "Don't say it's a courtyard for a few people, as long as it's not crowded like last night, or a place where you live and die like the inner court...... I'm fine on my own. ”

"I know, Ah Yan can come on her own terms." Wei Xingzhen stopped, "It's a little late, I have to go to the official office now, so I won't send you over." ”

Feng Yan nodded, "Hmm." ”

"The extra luggage brought from the Feng Mansion is in the backyard, if you have time in the morning, call to go and even go to the luxury to sort it out, or wait for me to come back in the evening."

Feng Yan nodded again, "Okay." ”

"That's right," Wei Xingzhen suddenly thought of something, "Ah Yan don't go to the backyard alone. The Dryad that attacked you last time was rooted there, and I set up the barrier...... Although the people of Peach Blossom Guard have already dealt with it, it is better to be careful. ”

Feng Yan was a little puzzled - what to be careful of?

That dryad even scattered the demon element.

But she didn't ask questions, just waved her hand at Wei Xingzhen, "Lord Wei came back earlier." ”

This sentence "come back early" made Wei Xingzhen stunned for a short time, and Feng Yan saw his throat move slightly, but he didn't speak for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Feng Yan asked.

"It's nothing...... Wei Xingzhen shook his head, his eyes drooped, and he said in a low voice, "There may be a lot of things today, I ...... Try to come back as early as possible. ”

With that, he immediately turned around and turned back the way he had come.

It wasn't until Wei Xingzhen's figure completely disappeared that Feng Yan turned around and walked in the direction he had just pointed out.

"Go to the extreme, go to the extravagance......"

Feng Yan thought about Wei Xingzhen's words and repeated them in a low voice.

Is this the name of a servant?

It's quite chic.

……

Outside the gate of the Wei Mansion, Feng Xiaoqi hid his aura and quietly lurked in the corner.

After a long while, Feng Yishu patted her shoulder from behind, "I've already finished explaining to Lord Yin, how about you?" ”

Xiao Qi made a silent gesture.

The two lurked together, and after seeing Wei Xingzhen riding away, Feng Xiaoqi immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to the concierge of the Wei Mansion.

"Are you sure you can just send a letter like that?" Feng Yishu frowned, "It's all here, you go in, what if you can't see your people, what if Sister doesn't come out at that time." ”

"I used to write letters like this to Sister A, and Sister knew it was me at a glance." Feng Xiaoqi said softly, "If you see my letter and don't see me, Sister Ah will come out—otherwise, she will definitely grab me directly and ask me about the matter......"

Feng Yishu then understood.

"Also, every time I lie, Sister always sees it at once."

"By the way, does the fifth brother think Yin Shiyun's guess is credible?" Feng Xiaoqi asked suddenly.

"What speculation?"

"That means that Wei Xingzhen may be the one who is transformed into a demon."

"Hmm......" the corners of Feng Yishu's mouth sank slightly, "It's hard to say." ”

Feng Xiaoqi sighed, "You ...... Is he speaking for Wei Xingzhen? ”

"It's not called speaking for him, it's just that there is no evidence." Feng Yishu said softly, "Everyone only has one guess now...... I guess Lord Yin probably just wanted to use this to test Wei Xingzhen and see how he would react. ”

"But the fifth brother thinks he's not a monster?"

"Well," Feng Yishu said softly, "just from the fact that he is close to Sister A, it can basically be determined." ”

"Why? Because Sister is very accurate in knowing demons? ”

"Not only that, I may not have told you before," Feng Yishu said softly, "Sister A's methods of subduing demons are very powerful, I have heard my masters deduce that the reason why Sister A's people are not close to people on weekdays is because the evil qi on her body is too heavy, and once it is not controlled well, it will hurt others—in order to protect the people, she can only live in isolation." ”

Feng Xiaoqi's gentle face appeared in Feng Xiaoqi's mind, and his expression became a little complicated.

“…… Is your master's words reliable? ”

"Of course it's reliable, I entered the Ping Demon Department at the age of eleven, and the first and only time I encountered a case that several masters couldn't solve, it was calmed down by Sister Ah - Sister calmed down alone." Feng Yishu paused, "If Wei Xingzhen is a monster, no matter what the reason, he should avoid us, especially Sister A." ”

"That-" Feng Xiaoqi just wanted to find out the details, and then felt that Feng Yishu's aura changed.

"It's out!" Feng Yishu's eyes lit up slightly, "Quick, let's go!" ”
