Zhao Qingyan thought about it, turned his footsteps, and walked towards the old lady's residence.

"Old lady, young lady is here." Far away, Zhao Qingyan heard a maid shouting like this, and couldn't help but raise his hand to support his forehead, the sound was too loud, and he heard it from afar.

The old lady, who was thinking about why Wen Yu and Father Wen hadn't come back yet, heard this sentence, and her spirit was shocked, "Light smoke is coming?" Where? Why don't you take me with you? ”

"Yes." The maid helped the old lady all the way to the hall, and the old lady saw Zhao Qingyan at a glance, an old face smiled, and there was a little love in her eyes.

She had already heard about Zhao Qingyan's going to the palace, and then she couldn't help but ask: "Qingyan, did you get any news when you went to the palace just now?" When will Yu'er and his father return? Isn't it coming back soon? ”

Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but be surprised when she heard the old lady ask like this, the old lady didn't know that Wen Yu and Wen Fu were both missing.

However, this trace of surprise was quickly hidden in her eyes, and her mind that wanted to ask was also closed, the old lady was delicate and used to paying attention to people's expressions, so Zhao Qingyan did not expose her emotions.

It turned out that the old lady didn't know about this, so she couldn't tell the old lady, the old lady was so old, if she knew that her son and grandson were missing, maybe she would have to be stimulated by something, she had to hide it, yes, hide it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but darken her eyes when she saw the old lady's faintly expectant eyes, feeling a little distressed, but there was no trace on her face.

He said softly: "Old lady, don't worry, the thieves that Wen Yu and the Wen family master encountered this time are a bit tricky, and they are not too easy to take." But progress has been made, but it may take some time to return, so don't worry, old lady. ”

When the old lady saw Zhao Qingyan so calm, it was probably because Zhao Qingyan's acting skills were so good and too realistic that the old lady really believed her words and really thought there was such a thing.

So the big stone in my heart also fell to the ground, and then I smiled, "Okay, well, then I'll rest assured." ”

"Qingyan stays here to talk to me, right?" The old lady spoke again.

Zhao Qingyan sighed in her heart, she lied to the old lady, and she felt ashamed, but she didn't dare to talk to the old lady, so she quickly refused: "Thank you, old lady, but Qingyan still has some things to deal with, let's talk to the old lady next time." ”

The old lady couldn't help but show a look of pity, but she didn't forcibly leave Zhao Qingyan behind, and nodded.

Zhao Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, the old lady was very smart, and she was afraid that there would be any flaws in the conversation with the old lady, so that the old lady would notice the clues of this matter, and she didn't dare to let the old lady know.

Walking out of the old lady's mansion quickly, Zhao Qingyan was keenly aware that something was wrong, the people in the mansion were talking in a low voice, as soon as they saw Zhao Qingyan appear, they immediately stopped talking, although Zhao Qingyan felt puzzled, but did not think much about it, and walked back to his courtyard quickly.

In less than half an hour, a maid hurriedly ran in, and the maid looked left and right, seeing that there was no one around, and then leaned into Zhao Qingyan's ear and whispered something. Zhao Qingyan's face changed, and he walked quickly towards Mrs. Cheng's courtyard.

When approaching Mrs. Cheng's courtyard, Zhao Qingyan saw a crying pear blossom with rain kneeling in the courtyard, guessed her identity, ignored it, and saw Mrs. Cheng standing on the side with a gloomy face.

Mrs. Cheng saw Zhao Qingyan coming, her face was a little better, she had just asked her personal maid to tell Zhao Qingyan that someone had spread the news of Wen Yu and Wen's father's disappearance, but she didn't expect Zhao Qingyan to come so quickly.

"That's it?" Zhao Qingyan asked.

"Heh, isn't it her, a damn talkative guy, spreading the news of the disappearance of the family master and the young master, is she tired of idle work?" Mrs. Cheng's face turned pale angrily, and she said to the maid in the second half of her sentence.

The maid was beaten a few times, and when she heard Mrs. Cheng's words, she was so frightened that she couldn't cry.

"It's because this damn maid is talking nonsense, and now many people in the palace already know about it." Mrs. Cheng said to Zhao Qing with some concern.

"Forget it, let's go and see if the old lady knows the news." Zhao Qingyan's face was not very good, no wonder some people were talking with their heads down just now, but they closed their mouths when they saw her, I am afraid that it is for this matter.

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot, I'll clean you up when this little comes back."

Mrs. Cheng's heart tightened, and she originally planned to spare this maid, but thinking that the old lady was afraid that she would know about this matter, and now this maid had to be sold, who let her talk nonsense? Mrs. Cheng hurriedly walked with Zhao Qingyan to the old lady's courtyard.

"Hey, light smoke, why are you back so soon? Why are you here too? The old lady was very puzzled when she saw that Zhao Qingyan came back not long after, and the second half of the sentence was said to Mrs. Cheng.

Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she saw that the old lady's attitude towards Zhao Qingyan was completely different from that towards her, but she didn't show it.

Seeing that the old lady was in good spirits, not like there was something wrong, Zhao Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it seems that the old lady doesn't know about it yet.

She hurriedly said: "It's okay, when I just went out, I happened to meet Mrs. Cheng, she also asked me about Wenyu and the head of the Wen family, I told her about the head of the family and Wenyu are still fighting against those bandits, and she didn't believe it, so she came over to ask the old lady." ”

As he spoke, he gave Mrs. Cheng a vague look.

Immediately understood what she meant, Mrs. Cheng pretended to laugh and said, "Aren't I too worried about Yu'er and his father, so I want to come to the old lady to confirm it again." ”

Nodding, the old lady said to Mrs. Cheng: "You are really, Qingyan just came back from the palace, you must know the accurate news, you don't believe Qingyan too much." Okay, you go back, Qingyan also go back, isn't there something else? ”

"Yes." The two nodded, and walked quickly out of the old lady's yard.

"The old lady doesn't know anything now, and she must not let her know about this matter." After seeing the old lady, Mrs. Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and instructed Zhao Qingyan.

Of course, Zhao Qingyan knew the pros and cons of this matter after the old lady knew, and nodded, "I'll go and gather the people in the mansion in a while to order." ”

She must instruct her subordinates not to tell the old lady about this, or the consequences will be unimaginable.

Mrs. Cheng also nodded, "You should do it as soon as possible, I have to deal with that mouthy maid." With that, he turned around and left.

After Mrs. Cheng left, Zhao Qingyan hurriedly asked the housekeeper to gather all the subordinates in the family who knew about this matter.

The subordinates looked at each other, not knowing why.

Zhao Qingyan saw that they still didn't understand what they were doing, and frowned: "The people here are all people who know about the disappearance of the Wen family master and Wen Shao, you are all members of the Wen family, you have to stay here for a few years, you should understand that this matter can't be told to the old lady!" ”

The subordinates did not dare to speak, and indeed this matter could not be told to the old lady.

Zhao Qingyan saw that they all understood, and said: "Don't pass on this matter anymore, you must not let the old lady know about it." ”
