Wanyue was so shocked that she couldn't even speak, but the young man didn't even look at her, and turned around and left. After a while, Wanyue got up, and she wanted to go to the young man to thank her, but when she chased out of the alley, she couldn't see the man.

She clutched her chest, and she could still feel her heart pounding, and she couldn't stand still.

Fortunately...... Fortunately, the money is still on him.

The Xiao family's mansion has several side doors, and these side doors are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, Wan Yue can only come back from the lowest side door, this door is for some outside helpers and other subordinates who enter the Xiao family's mansion, of course, it is also the closest to Xiao Nan's courtyard.

As soon as she came back, she went to the kitchen to cook and decoct the medicine silently, and when she finally brought the food to the bedroom, although she tried her best to lower her head to hide it, Xiao Nan still saw the redness, swelling and bruises on her face at a glance, which were all beaten by Wang San.

"What's going on?! Who bullied you?! Xiao Nan immediately became angry, he really couldn't imagine who would be so vicious and give such a heavy hand to a weak woman.

"No, nothing, I accidentally fell on my own." Wanyue prevaricated. She didn't want the young master to worry.

Xiao Nan looked at her, and sighed heavily for a long time: "I'm useless, I can't even protect you...... It's all my fault. ”

"Nope! It has nothing to do with you, young master! It's me who was careless! Wanyue came to the bed and held his hand: "As long as the young master is good, I can suffer anything!" ”

"You're suffering, I'll help you rub the medicine." Xiao Nan lifted her chin pityingly, fortunately, the doctor left some ointment yesterday, which could be used for Wanyue.

When Wanyue was beaten by Wang San, she gritted her teeth and made a desperate determination, without shedding a single tear. However, when Xiao Nan rubbed the medicine for her, her tears couldn't help it, and they slipped from the corners of her eyes to her cheeks.

Xiao Nan gently wiped away her tears, didn't ask much, didn't say anything, he knew that Wanyue didn't say it out of self-esteem but also out of concern for himself, what could he do as a cripple? The deep feeling of powerlessness made him feel more and more depressed, and he could only say: "You must be careful in the future......"

"Young master, after my father died, you were the only person in the world who was good to me." Wanyue choked up and said, "I'll be fine, I'll live no matter what!" ”

"Live well." Xiao Nan brushed her messy hair, "There will be a day when the clouds will see the moon." ”

After eating, Wanyue moved a folding bed to Xiao Nan's bedroom, the room she lived in was too remote, she was afraid that she would not take good care of herself, so she decided to move to Xiao Nan's room. The two of them had their beds separated only by a screen. At the same time, although the courtyard is not big, suddenly so many people have left, and it is empty at night, and it looks a little crazy.

Fortunately, there is still electricity here, Wanyue has never seen an electric light in the town, and when she first came, she still felt very novel about the electric light, and the thirteen young people didn't like it too bright, and the only thing in the house was lit at night was the vertical lamp with a crystal tassel lampshade. Wanyue especially likes this kind of table lamp. After dinner, she stayed in the bedroom, made the bed, and talked to Xiao Nan.

"If we had this kind of night light in our town, I don't know what it would be like at night." She looked at the lampshade and said, "This lamp is so beautiful." ”

"If there is electricity, it will electrocute people, don't touch it with wet hands." Xiao Nan reminded.

"Young master, what is electricity?" Wanyue asked curiously, "I only heard that the Xiao family has built a power plant, and it can be illuminated by electricity, but that thing is very expensive, and our rich family can't afford to use it, I didn't expect that your family has it, and even the street outside has that kind of very high light." ”

"Electricity is a very useful thing, not only because it can illuminate, but of course, electricity is also dangerous." Xiao Nan explained to her slowly, and tried to explain the discovery of electricity and the role of electrical appliances in words that elementary school students could understand.

Wanyue sat on the recliner next to the bed and listened to him, only feeling that Xiao Nan was simply the most learned person in the world, and the appearance of these advanced knowledge when he explained to himself was also so attractive. She couldn't help but fantasize that when she was old, she could chat with Thirteen Young like this, talk about family life, what kind of happiness should it be.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Am I talking funny?" Xiao Nan asked strangely.

"I just think that Thirteen Young is really a big talent who is rich and rich, if it was before, he must be a talent who can take the top prize." She fantasized that "it's like the ...... in the play."

"You like to listen to theaters?"

"I haven't heard of it a few times, but when I was a child, the troupe came to town, and my father took me there a few times, but now the theater tickets are so expensive, my uncle will never allow me to go." Wanyue said.

"When I'm ready, I'll take you to the theater in this city." Xiao Nan said, "There are not only excerpts over there, but also Western dramas. It is the same as the big theaters in foreign countries. ”

"Really?!" Wanyue's eyes glowed, after all, she is also a girl in her youth, and naturally she also yearns for romantic and interesting new things. And most of what Xiao Nan said was heard from the maid Xiaoci.

"Then you must hurry up, tomorrow I will go to the vegetable market to buy you a chicken to replenish your body!" Wanyue said.

Xiao Nan originally wanted to stop her, feeling that she didn't have to spend a little extra money for herself, but thinking that Wanyue had given herself the delicious food these days, and she was only willing to eat vegetable leaves and leftover rice, she nodded and said, "Okay, eat chicken tomorrow, but you also have to eat, and the two of us will eat together." And we may have a payout. ”

"That's great!" Wanyue didn't doubt Xiao Nan at all, she only felt that Xiao Nan was right in everything she did, as long as she was obedient and obedient to her husband in everything, she would definitely be able to get through the difficulties.

And what Xiao Nan said about the income refers to the secrets that may be hidden in this bed. The whole bed was extremely heavy, five or six people might not be able to carry it, it was made of fine sandalwood, it was extremely precious, and it was a bit old, he speculated that it might be the dowry of the thirteenth young mother. Maybe some of them were left behind by his mother.

If those things are the relics of the thirteenth aunt, they are naturally extremely precious to the thirteen young people, and they are reluctant to abandon them. But for Xiao Nan, he is not a thirteen young man, in order to let himself and Wanyue live, he can only be sorry for the thirteenth young man.

"But where does that money come from? Could it be that it was given by the Seventh Young Master again? Didn't he say that he wouldn't come for the time being to avoid suspicion? Wanyue said.

"It's not him, it's this bed." Xiao Nan said, "This is my mother's dowry, I think, maybe there is my mother's family background left here." ”

"Since it's something left by Madame, wouldn't it be a pity to be it?" Wanyue said regretfully.

"People are alive, things are dead, we can't gamble for dead things." Xiao Nan said, "Silver money is originally something outside the body. I can see it all, why should you worry about it, it's better to take advantage of the night, let's pry it open and see. During the daytime of the province, people from outside walked around and looked. ”

Wanyue was stunned, then bit her lip and said, "Since the thirteenth young man said so, I will do it." ”

So she quietly lit the kerosene lamp, went to the tool room to find some tools that could be used, and brought them over. Xiao Nan was injured and had difficulty moving, so he could only sit on the bed and command.

Wanyue didn't care much, she tied the corners of her skirt, climbed onto the bed, looked at the hole in the bed board, and stabbed an iron crowbar into it according to Xiao Nan's words, only to hear the harsh noise inside, and after a while, the sound stopped, it turned out that the blades in the circle inside were all worn off by the crowbar, and the crowbar was almost cut off, this mechanism is staggering.

Maybe it was the crowbar that caused the structure inside the mechanism to collapse, maybe it was Wanyue who stabbed in a mess and didn't know where it was broken, only to hear a click, a hidden lattice door opened on the top of the bed, and a small shelf hung down from it, on which a locked dresser was placed, no one would have thought that the real dark lattice was actually on the top of the bed, and the hole was just a trap!

I don't know how the real Thirteen Young finally opened this kind of mechanism, Xiao Nan guessed that the bedside mechanism button must have other methods, such as a few clicks to react. But now the complicated operation of the mechanism is completely useless, Wan Yue picked up the hammer and smashed the lock of the dresser, and was about to open it, but Xiao Nan told her to stop, put the box far away, and slowly opened it with a crowbar.

At the moment of opening, a few darts flew out of the box, and if you opened the box stupidly, you were afraid that you would die under these poison darts again.

From the blade mechanism on the bed to the dart box, it all made people gasp, and I didn't know what kind of treasure was in this box.

The box was finally opened, but there was only one beaded hairpin that didn't look very valuable, and the pearls were already yellow, and it was estimated that they couldn't be sold at a good price, let alone the pawnshop's price.

Wanyue carefully pinched the bead flower with a handkerchief, and said, "I don't know if there is poison on it, but this bead flower is very exquisite." ”

"This pearl flower is not valuable, I don't know why Aunt Thirteen cherishes this thing so much, and deliberately set up so many mechanisms, I'm afraid it wasn't given to her by her old lover." Xiao Nan guessed.

There is a piece of paper pressed under the bead flower, the page is yellow and brittle, I don't know how many years have passed, and some words are written on it with a delicate brush, which probably means that this bead flower is a gift from a confidant of her blue face before the thirteenth aunt married into the Xiao family, the two were originally in love, but the father of the thirteenth aunt was anxious to cling to the Xiao family, and he had to marry her to the Xiao family.

She told the thirteen young people on this letter that if she couldn't live in the Xiao family, she would go to her old lover Yunyun, who was her childhood sweetheart, and Zhuhua was a token.

But this kind of information is useless for Xiao Nan, after so many years, who knows if the other party still recognizes the son of the old man. However, preserving this kind of thing is indeed an extremely dangerous thing in the Xiao family, if it is discovered, add oil and vinegar to sue her, and the thirteenth aunt will definitely be tortured by the family law to the point that life is worse than death.

It's no wonder she's setting up a mechanism in the box.

However, Wanyue soon realized that this box was too big for a hairpin, and she fiddled with it, and found a mezzanine in the box, in which an anonymous book was placed.

Wanyue handed the book to Xiao Nan to read, Xiao Nan opened it and looked at it a few times, and her face changed greatly!
