"Master, the fourth young lady has found out that someone is behind them to guide them!"

The shadow in the darkness said interestingly.

"It's later than I expected", Wang Chen replied leisurely, and his voice could not hide an inexplicable pride and pride.

The shadow closed his mouth, unable to guess what his master was thinking.

Said that she likes Miss Four! Not really! How can anyone like it, and dare to push the whole family to death.

If it is said to treat ordinary people, but he is a good old man, since he woke up from a serious illness last year, he inexplicably sent people to pay attention to Miss Four's every move all the time, and whenever someone has something, he will appear.

Dark touched his chin and looked inexplicable.

"Put away your thoughts and talk about Cui Wanniang"! Wang Chen said this as usual, and continued to focus on the things in his hand.

Take a closer look, it is actually a portrait, or a portrait of a woman, the woman on it is a little familiar, like the fourth lady, but it seems to be different.

"Cui Wanniang has arrived in Kyoto, but she stopped at the post station and has not yet entered the city, and the person who contacted her half a day ago has been waiting in Kyoto to prepare to meet her."

"It's finally shown", Wang Chen stretched his body and said with a sneer.

"Master, you ...... She was treated differently before than she is now," he said, after a moment's deliberation.

"Mistaking a fish eye for a pearl"!

Yuedong told the story of his discoveries under the cave one by one.

Sure enough, as Qingyan guessed, there was a passage under the cave, and the bluestone slabs in the passage were made, and there were piles on both sides to place torches, and people could stand and walk, but it was deep and long, and Yuedong didn't dare to go more in it.

Qingyan squinted and said, "Can you tell which direction it is extending?"

Yuedong affirmed: "Keep going north, and then there is a corner to the east."

To the north and to the east, it is not just in the direction where the Ruyi Palace is located.

Qingyan looked at the map in her hand, her fingertips were gesturing on it, Qingmin's eyes moved back and forth with her fingertips, and her eyes became deeper and deeper.

"And this", Yuedong handed a thin piece of cloth in the palm of his hand to the two.

The material color of the shirt that Lin Ning was wearing when he was taken away was exactly the same.

Qing Yan had already determined in her heart that this must be the path her mother took when she was smuggled into the palace.

It's just that there are many illogicalities in all this thinking.

"It's easy to be found if you stay too long, it's time to go".

Qingyan nodded, and for the time being, the mess in his heart was cleaned up, and the four of them carefully went out again and left.

On the carriage back home, Qingyan leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate, in fact, her heart had already begun to peel off the cocoon and slowly try to find a clue from her waking memory.

For example, why did my grandmother have to let the third sister marry into the Pei family!

And why did her mother, Lin Ning, have to let her marry into the Pei family, what is the inevitable connection between the two!

Why did Concubine Shu take her mother, was it because her mother knew something or because she was hindering certain people and things.

And why didn't Concubine Shu enter through the palace gate and chose to go underground, wasn't she afraid of exposing the underground palace, or did she feel that the danger of exposing a dungeon was worse than being known by others in the palace that she took away the second lady of the Li family.

The question is, what is the role of the mother in this?

And it is impossible to tell whether the hidden people who lead them to track down these things are friend or foe.

Qingyan will appear in the scene of the above things in his mind, the key people, one is Li Qinghuan, one is the mother, one is the concubine, and the other is ...... That prince of the royal family.

From her subordinates stealing things, the eldest aunt found him, and he saved her, and when he went to Luoyun Pavilion to say goodbye, his appearance was a little deliberate, as if he was specifically to see her.

What role did he play?

Soon the carriage arrived at the back door of the Li Mansion, and Qingyan was helped down by Biqing and entered the hanging flower gate of Qunfang Garden.

At this moment, the eldest girl in front of the third lady ran over and saluted her: "Fourth miss, my young lady invites you to go to the Begonia Courtyard."

Just thought of her, she came at this moment, Qingyan hooked the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "Okay, let the third sister wait for a while, let me go back and clean up."

Bamboo Pavilion Residence

Zhang's mother knocked over the small bowl on the stove in the small kitchen again.

Blue Moon and Aoyagi hid outside and whispered.

"Blue Moon, what did you say about Mother Zhang these days, it seems that she has a lot of strength, and she doesn't know how many pieces have been broken when she takes a bowl."

Lan Yue hummed softly, staring thoughtfully at Zhang's mother's arm in a daze.

"Why are you in a daze, can you hear me?"

"What do you hear? What are you two sneaking around hiding here? ”

The voice behind them frightened Lan Yue and Aoyagi's faces instantly, and the two of them turned around cautiously and whispered, "Yes...... It's Sister Hongwu! Not...... It's nothing? ”

"It's nothing for you two to be scared like this!" Hongwu's mouth was straight, and she didn't speak politely, "Say, what are you two peeking at?" ”

Saying that, Hongwu walked a few steps and poked her head to look in, only to see Zhang's mother walking around in front of the stove alone.

"What's wrong with Mother Zhang?" She asked subconsciously in a low voice.

Qingliu lowered her head and didn't speak, but Lan Yue looked at her timidly and said, "It's not Sister Hongwu, can I go to your house and ask for needlework later?" There is a flower branch of Tilian that is not always well embroidered."

Hongwu didn't think much about it, smiled and agreed, and asked Lan Yue to go directly to her when she was resting.

Besides, after Qingyan changed her clothes, she went to the third lady's begonia garden.

As its name suggests, the Begonia Garden is full of various varieties of begonias, but it has not yet opened, but it seems a little deserted.

"Fourth sister, come this way", the third lady was sitting under the porch and beckoned to her, and Qingyan walked over.

"Third sister, you are so beautiful today", Qingyan bowed and saluted.

Li Qinghuan smiled instantly, her small and delicate face was fair and delicate, as if she could pinch out water, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, delicate and beautiful, she was the best-looking among all their sisters.

"When did the fourth sister also learn the big brother's coaxing method", Li Qinghuan said coquettishly, but there was a look in his eyes.

"I'm different from my big brother, he is evenly wet with rain and dew, if he sells well, he will come when he opens his mouth, I am honest and honest, just to people", Qingyan let her look at it, and argued for himself in a soft voice.

Li Qinghuan covered his mouth and couldn't help but smile: "Be careful to let the eldest brother hear this, he won't die of sadness."

"Then sister, don't tell him, what is my sister looking for me?" Qingyan said with a smile.

Li Qinghuan lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said in a delicate voice: "It's not a big deal, I just want to know if the fourth sister is sincere to give me the Pei family, if so...... The Pei family promised you to marry, are you still willing? ”

Qingyan was silent, as if thinking.

Li Qinghuan's hand on her lap was clenched into a fist, all because there was something to block it, otherwise she could see that her fingertips were red bloodshot from the place where she pressed her palm, as if she was afraid of Qingyan's answer.
