At present, Bihu knew that there was no way back, so he turned around and raised his head, met Hou Xin's suspicious and fierce gaze, and looked back. Hou Zhen got up and walked to Bihu's side, he walked very slowly, and it seemed that with every step, he was carefully examining the face hidden behind his makeup. For Bihu, Hou Xin didn't see her too many times in Jiangnan Villa in the past, but at this moment, from Bihu's calm eyes, Hou Zhen remembered the scene when he first entered Jiangnan Villa, standing downstairs in Chengjiang with a few family members who were bought together, and accepting the arrangement of the housekeeper:

At that time, Hou Xin thought in his heart: Most of the women he has seen on weekdays are fierce and inward-looking, and the rest are mostly people who only know how to rub fat and powder, but such a weak and gentle appearance, but a person who is calm, neat in speech, and decisive in action, is the first time he has encountered it. Because of this, Hou Xin stood downstairs in Chengjiang that day, and his eyes almost never left Bihu. At this moment, the singer in front of him was also fearless in the face of his forced gaze and approach, and this gaze gradually coincided with the green-clothed female envoy downstairs in Chengjiang that day in Hou Zhen's mind.

"You are-" Hou Zhen raised a hand and pointed at Bihu, before he finished speaking, the hand that was raised to the air to point at the person, but suddenly opened the tiger's mouth and drove towards Bihu's slender neck, Bihu subconsciously dodged his head back, raised one hand in front of him, and made a defensive action. Hou Xin's hand hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stretched forward and pressed heavily on Bihu's shoulder, as if he wanted to crush the bones under his shirt. He sneered and said, "You are really not the singer here, I can't be mistaken." ”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, several people at the table stood up at the same time, Xia Zhen did not forget to protect the coral behind him with one hand, as if he was worried that the singer in front of him would jump over the wall in a hurry and rob the coral in full view of everyone. Seeing that Hou Zhen had already controlled Bihu, Shi Mi Yuan asked: Who are you, and who asked you to come here. ”

Bihu's lips opened slightly, and she didn't know how to answer: she knew that she had been exposed, and she was thinking about how to focus everyone's attention on herself alone, without implicating the person next door. At the last moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door: "Master, someone is coming from the house." Shi Miyuan seemed very dissatisfied with being disturbed at this time, he motioned to the guards standing by the door to open the door a crack, and asked sharply, "What's the matter?" "The official family sent someone to announce your entry into the palace." The housekeeper outside hurriedly whispered.

"What do you say?" Shi Miyuan asked. Jia Ding said: "I just said that the official family has some old things and wants to ask the master." "Something old? Shi Miyuan and Xia Zhen exchanged glances, and they both saw a trace of uneasiness in each other's eyes: I don't know if the official family heard or saw something today, and I don't know which old thing he wants to mention. "Go and prepare the carriage and horses, and I'll go back." Jia Ding leaned over and hurried away, and the door of Wanzhou Pavilion closed heavily.

In the Four Seasons Pavilion next door, Su Mengtang and Zhao Qingzhou were all full of sadness, and even Qingxue on the side kept wringing the handkerchief in their hands, very anxious. "Cheongju, what should we do? If he doesn't make another move, Bihu will be taken away. Su Mengtang said in a very low but anxious voice. Zhao Qingzhou waved his hand and persuaded: "Mengtang, there are only two of us, how can we snatch Bihu back from them?" Don't worry, as soon as they leave, we will go to meet Yunhua Zhuoran, and everyone will immediately return to Lin'an to think of countermeasures. ”

"But Bihu-" "Don't worry, since the official family has something to find Shi Miyuan, he will definitely enter the palace in a hurry, and it is too late to ask Coral today, we have time." Zhao Qingzhou tried his best to appease Su Mengtang's emotions. He knew the temper of the sworn brother and sister in front of him: although Su Mengtang used a seemingly old-fashioned means to govern the affairs of Jiangnan Villa on weekdays, she was too well protected since she was a child, and she still lacked mature cognition of all kinds of sinisters in the world, and she was quite righteous, so it was inevitable that she would do something rash and reckless.

His words made Su Mengtang look relieved, and he didn't continue to insist on rescuing Bihu immediately. Qingxue said on the side: "In my opinion, let's also hide, just in case, if they hear the movement here, it will be troublesome to come in and check when they pass by." Zhao Qingzhou nodded and said, "In this room, is there a place to hide?" Qingxue nodded and said, "Please come with me, two of you." ”

The door of Wanzhou Pavilion suddenly opened, and Shi Miyuan walked out behind Xia Zhen, Coral wearing a hood, following Shi Miyuan's side, not wanting to be noticed. A few steps later, Hou Zhen wrapped himself in Bihu, and walked out of the Wanzhou Pavilion with a few guards followed. Because he was worried that Bihu would struggle and be too eye-catching, Hou Zhen had already tied her hands behind her back and covered Bihu with a black burqa on her head.

When he went downstairs, the shopkeeper Mao saw the corner of the skirt exposed under the black robe at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to Shi Miyuan and said, "I don't know if the hospitality in this store is not good, let-" Before he finished speaking, Shi Miyuan suddenly stopped, glanced at the shopkeeper Mao with a gloomy and cool gaze like well water, and then raised his legs and stepped out of Wanghailou.

Shopkeeper Mao asked Hou Zhen at a loss, and said with a flattering smile on his face: "What do you say?" I hope that the adults will raise their noble hands, if it is really the small shop that is not taken care of, the villain will try his best to compensate, but this singer, the adults can't just take it away casually, this is the villain's business. Hou Zhen lifted the corner of the burqa and threatened: "Look carefully, is this your person from Wanghailou?" If it is one of your people, you will bear the charge of assassinating the important officials of the court. ”

There is a young and unfamiliar face under the burqa, but he can be dressed up, obviously the appearance of a singer in the sheng song department. I was obviously watching Qingxue go upstairs just now! Shopkeeper Mao was stunned for a moment, stunned in place. "I'll check it out another day, if it weren't for something in the adult's house, none of you would be able to escape today." Hou Zhen said to the guys watching from Wanghailou.

Shi Miyuan's carriage and horses had already set off towards Lin'an, and Hou Zhen didn't care about talking too much, so he just escorted Bihu to the outside. Behind him, the shopkeeper slumped on the chair without support, and the guys suddenly swarmed up, gossiping and messing around. Shopkeeper Mao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Quick, close the door of the store, thank you today." ”

Behind the screen in the Four Seasons Pavilion, there was a huge sleeping couch, not long ago, Su Mengtang had just woken up from it, but at this time, she was hiding in this bed with Zhao Qingzhou and Qingxue. It turns out that this is a box-type sleeping couch, after removing everything such as bedding, there is an embedded copper ring nailed to the bed board, pull it up and pull it up, you can pull up the entire bed board, and the space inside can accommodate three or four people to hide in it at the same time.

Hearing that there was no movement outside, Qingxue opened the bed board with her hand, stood up and said, "It should be fine, let's go quickly, I'll explain the matter here to the shopkeeper." Su Mengtang and Zhao Qingzhou stepped out of the bed box, Su Mengtang grabbed Qingxue's sleeve and said: "You go with us, today because we have caused a big disaster and affected the girl, how can the shopkeeper Mao tolerate you?" ”

Qingxue said with a smile: "Miss Su, don't forget what you promised me today, I will deal with the rest." The shopkeeper won't embarrass me, even if it's embarrassing, there is still Ah Hong here, don't worry. I'm here waiting for the good news that the girl rescued Bihu, and I'm also waiting for the girl to come and pick me up. Su Mengtang nodded and said, "Don't worry, when I rescue Bihu, the next one will come to rescue you from here."
