After Wanyue took a shower and changed into clean clothes, Xiao Nan finally took a hot bath in the Republic of China era.

Anyway, I'm able to settle down for the time being.

Since he came to the Xiao family, it has really been a wave of unsettled, and I really hope that there will be no more twists and turns in the future.

Now, he doesn't even want to explore any more secrets of the Xiao family, he just wants to live well with Wanyue.

He didn't want to care about the bloody case of the Xiao family's mansion, as long as the time was right, he must take Wanyue out of this terrible place.

It's good to go anywhere, in short, you must not stay in the Xiao family.

When he thought of this, he suddenly thought of a detail that was extremely scary. There must be many young masters and other clansmen who want to leave the Xiao family, why did they all choose to stay in the Xiao family in the end?

For example, the old uncle who was suddenly executed, he and his family also lived in the side courtyard of the Xiao family's mansion. Are these people really here for glory and wealth?

If you change to a normal person, no matter how much glory and wealth you give, you don't want to stay in this kind of ghost place, right?

The only explanation is ————

No one can escape from the palm of the Xiao family.

It stands to reason that those powerful young masters of the Xiao family can go abroad to avoid all this, they have the power and money, and they must also have a broad vision and know the situation at home and abroad, why not go?

Don't......

Could it be that the eldest master of the Xiao family has all kinds of eyes and ears, monitoring everything?

So are you under surveillance?

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan felt a cold sweat.

If you are also under surveillance, will you be detected if you have traveled through time and space several times? If he had been discovered, he should have been arrested a long time ago, right?

Or is it that the old man's subordinates only monitor those who are capable and powerful, and his own waste wood is actually in a vacuum?

There were so many things that Xiao Nan, who had lived a simple life before, felt that his head was getting bigger and bigger, and finally fell asleep groggily.

Then at five o'clock in the morning, he was woken up by Wanyue.

The rain outside still kept falling, and Wanyue woke him up so early because today was the birthday of the eldest lord, and there were various ceremonies to attend, so he couldn't be lazy. After Xiao Nan got up, he first found the residual limb socks he brought, and put a few more layers on the stump of his right leg.

And Wanyue had the foresight to help him sew a more comfortable cotton cover. Even though it was summer, the temperature was very low due to the heavy rain, so he didn't feel too hot with a cotton sleeve on his legs. It's just true that because of the rain, his stump feels sore and cold.

Enduring the faint pain, he changed into the clothes that Wan Yue had prepared a few days in advance, which was the kind of traditional robe and horse coat, which was very retro. It can be seen that the fabric and workmanship of this dress are of the highest quality, but it is definitely not very luxurious and magnanimous, and it must be the most simple among a group of young masters.

Xiao Nan felt that this was good, he didn't want to be too eye-catching.

Wanyue can't be regarded as someone who is marrying into the Xiao family, and she is just a slave in the eyes of outsiders, but Xiao Nan is inconvenient, and it is always safe to have someone to follow, she wants to follow Xiao Nan to the place where the birthday banquet is held, but Xiao Nan categorically refused.

He will never let Wanyue have a chance to be favored by the eldest master, even if he wants to climb, he will climb to the front hall alone.

Wanyue couldn't resist him, so she could only prepare some breakfast for him first, and then go to open the front door. Strangely, a small oiled paper bag was stuffed into the floor of the front door, and when it was opened, there was a note telling the people in the courtyard to go to the seventh kitchen at night to get something.

Wanyue showed the note to Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan glanced at it, and said, "This may be the guard steward yesterday who came to repay the favor." I guess the medicine I gave him worked. When I come back in the evening, I'll go with you to see it. When I'm not around, I lock the door so that outsiders think there's no one in the yard.

It is said that all the people are going to participate in the celebration today, and we always have to pretend, because it would be bad if someone found out that there were still people in the courtyard. ”

"In that case, wouldn't it be better for me to go with you." Wanyue looked at Xiao Nan's crutches and said, "It's raining again, how do you ...... umbrella?"

"Nope." Xiao Nan shook his head, "Only this time, you can't stop listening to me." ”

After asking Wanyue, he left his yard.

In fact, he didn't know what he should do, but he vaguely knew that he was going to the front hall, after all, it was the "main venue" of the birthday banquet.

He had already walked the way to the front hall twice, and he probably knew the route, but the route was very long, and this Xiao family's mansion was no less big than a palace, and he had to walk on crutches for a long time.

And the rules of the Xiao family are very turtle hair, because of his low status, he seems to be unable to walk the kind of exquisite corridor with a roof, unless it is a special situation, he can only walk the remote lane, walked for more than ten minutes, he was wet with rain hair and shoulders, and he was also tired and panting, so he found a place with eaves to hide from the rain and rest against the wall.

And this place where he relied to hide from the rain was the back door of the courtyard of the young master, the narrow alleyway could only accommodate two people to pass through, and there were some sundries piled up not far away, and now this passage is still very quiet, it is estimated that this is the so-called dead end area. And sneaking in from the gap in the back door, there is a beautiful back garden inside, luxuriously arranged, as if a corner of the garden has its own yard is bigger.

Sure enough, the courtyard he is in is equivalent to a cold palace in this Xiao family?

But for modern people who are precious in every inch of land, he feels that his small courtyard has occupied a lot of land, and the equipment decoration is really good.

At this time, he suddenly noticed that although the garden looked beautiful at first glance, there were a lot of weeds growing near the door, and the branches in the flower garden were scattered by the wind and rain, and no one came to clean them up.

The huge garden seemed quiet and very deserted.

He suddenly moved in his heart, looked around, calculated his distance again, and suddenly realized that this courtyard was not the home of the sixteenth young master who was "executed all over the house"!!

On that night, after the electric bell rang, because of the screams in the courtyard of the sixteenth young master, he and all his family members were sentenced to death in public!

Even an old uncle also died!

Counting the days, these sixteen young masters have only been dead for a few days, but according to the urine nature of the servants of the Xiao family, it is estimated that they will never dare to rob the courtyard of the sixteenth young master, and even have to take a detour, for fear that they will be contaminated with filth, or be reported that it is related to the sixteenth young master.

It turned out that I had come around to such a place.

If you look closely, there is still a vague seal mark on the door of this back door, but most of it has fallen off due to the wind and rain.

But this door was simply closed, and the chain was not locked. Presumably those blue-clothed slaves came to search, and no one dared to ask about this place after that.

Unless the eldest lord orders to use this courtyard for other purposes, no one will dare to approach this place again.

No wonder no one walked this lane.

All the children of the Xiao family are said to meet at nine o'clock in the morning. And now it's just dawn. But I don't know which of the servants deliberately wanted to fix him, so he came in the morning to inform him that he and the other servants would go to the side hall next to the antechamber at seven o'clock. That's why he came out so early.

It should be early in the morning.

Xiao Nan looked around at no one, and didn't know where he had the guts, so he gently pushed open the back door, and then limped into the door.

When he closed the door, he suddenly felt that he had entered a quiet world that was different from the outside. In this huge Xiao family house, it seems that only this kind of place where no one is there can be considered safe.

The sixteenth young master is not a favored young master, but he is definitely more imposing than the thirteenth young master, and after a decent back garden, he can enter his living courtyard.

It turned out to be a rockery landscape that is intertwined and shaded by green trees.

The place where he lives is also divided into front and back yards, the sense of space is very complicated, and there are many rooms.

From the scene, there is nothing to be seen.

The door to the antechamber was open, and when I looked inside, it was a mess, presumably caused by the arrest, and there was already a layer of dust everywhere.

When the blue-clothed slave was arrested, it was estimated that he looted the sixteenth young master's belongings, and he could see that the boxes and cabinets were turned over in the house, but what they took away was only some soft money, money tickets or something. Some large ornaments that seem to be of great value, calligraphy and paintings are still well placed in the distance. It shows that these people are in a hurry to come and go, and they don't have time to search carefully.

And they didn't come back to loot in the future, because those blue-clothed slaves were too afraid of the big man! I'm afraid that I will have a relationship with a sixteen-year-old boy, these calligraphy, paintings, and ornaments are too easy to expose!

In fact, Xiao Nan was a little selfish, because he really ran out of money, thinking about whether he could find some cash to supplement his family, he couldn't always expect the Seventh Young Master to lose money to himself.

However, the blue-clothed slave searched very thoroughly, and those large vases that cost hundreds of pounds at every turn didn't have to think about him at all.

In the end, he could only enter the study, thinking to see what information related to the Xiao family he could find and take it back to study, but when he entered the study, he was attracted by an oil painting on the wall.

The oil painting is a "group photo" of a beautiful woman with a girl and a little boy, the little boy must be sixteen young, because he has seen sixteen young, and his eyebrows and eyes are similar to the little boy in the painting, and the beautiful woman should be the mother of sixteen young, I don't know which aunt and wife.

And that girl, who can take such an intimate photo with them, may be the sister of the sixteenth young man, if you look closely, the appearance of these three people is indeed quite similar.

The elder sister of the sixteenth young man was an extremely beautiful fair-skinned girl, dressed in the clothes of a Chinese aristocratic lady, and on her wrist, she wore a turquoise jade bracelet with blood-red coral!!

This bracelet!!

Isn't it the one that the mysterious female corpse I saw in the back garden was wearing on the hand when I was a thirteenth child!!

Xiao Nan suddenly sighed in his heart.

I think I might have some amazing clue together!
