Chapter 22: Don't Dare to Go Too Far
Dark Nine-Tails followed Gentleness back to the big tree outside the window, and he was still disappointed by Gentleness's halfway return.
Just now he clearly saw that Gentle was holding a light thing in his palm, a very small one, obviously not a candle or a lantern.
And the light emitted by that thing is gathered, and there is only a small lump, which cannot be detected from a distance.
Thinking of the flickering white light in the room he had noticed earlier, Dark Nine became more and more curious about Gentleness.
However, what he didn't know was that the reason why Gentle would return halfway was because he felt that someone was following her.
Although Gentle didn't know that there was a person behind her, she thought it was a ghost.
Where this keen feeling comes from, gentleness itself can't tell.
If she had to give an explanation, it might be a woman's sixth sense.
Gently lying on the bed after eating and drinking, he soon fell asleep.
Dark Nine waited for a while, heard that there was no more movement in the room, and left the General's Mansion with a light tap.
After two days of observation, he found that the occupants of the house slept well, but if it was unexpected, she would sleep until tomorrow morning.
Thinking of the people in the room, Dark Nine quickened his pace, he always felt that leaving for too long would make him miss a lot of incredible things.
In fact, when Dark Nine monitored the General's Mansion before, he didn't keep an eye on Wen Wanning all the time, but it was just symbolically enough to go here every day.
But since discovering the difference between Wen Wanning and before, Dark Nine has been staying in the General's Mansion for almost twelve hours a day, secretly observing her.
Dark Nine traveled all the way, but this time he went to the Imperial City differently than usual, but went in the opposite direction of the Imperial City.
About a quarter of an hour later, Dark Nine cautiously entered a large compound.
After a few jumps, Dark Nine came to the study in the front yard.
In the study, a middle-aged man with a goatee was writing hard behind the bookcase, and when he saw Dark Nine jumping in from the window, he just bowed slightly, so he put down the brush in his hand and greeted Dark Nine.
"Lord! When the Lord visited late at night, I don't know what to command? The middle-aged man asked with an unusually respectful attitude towards Dark Nine.
"Uncle Pei doesn't need to be polite, I have found some interesting things in the past two days, which may be of great help to our great cause, so I decided to stay a few more days.
The people down there have been impetuousness lately, and you let them lie dormant.
Although Dongqing National is in decline now, it is not something we can shake. ”
Dark Jiu frowned slightly, put his right hand behind his back, and twisted the thumb of his left hand between his index finger and middle finger, he didn't want to ruin his efforts in Dongqing in the past few years because of some impulsive people.
When the middle-aged man known as Uncle Pei saw the actions of the master, he knew that he was already annoyed by the small actions below, and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order and said, "The subordinates will definitely restrain them and prevent them from acting impulsively and causing trouble to the master." ”
"By the way, help me deliver a message to Zavi and ask him to wait for my news, and I'll let him know when I leave."
"Yes!"
Just as Uncle Pei bowed down, Dark Nine had already disappeared into the study.
Uncle Pei straightened up, looked at the dark night outside the wide open window, and sighed deeply.
took over the power in the hands of his wife on his own, and the hearts of the people at the bottom fluctuated, and some people even relied on the old and sold the old in a vain attempt to threaten the lord.
But what they don't know is that the Lord is decisive in killing, and if it is determined that they are in the way of his recovery, then the only way that awaits them is death.
Gentleness is also a big heart, and after a sleep, he forgot what he encountered last night.
Under Caiyue's waiting, after Meimei ate breakfast, Gentleness began to set up Caiyue's words.
"Caiyue, I found that the layout in my room is still very good, I think my uncle doesn't dare to be too much to me, why did your cousin dare to treat me so slowly before?"
"Don't you dare to go too far??"
Caiyue put the needlework in her hand and sneered at the gentle words, "What are you good at?" I'm telling you, these are fakes, and they've been moved back to their yards long ago. ”
Caiyue couldn't help but whisper more and more as she spoke, and looked out of the house vigilantly, making sure that no one was coming, so she leaned into a gentle ear and said, "I heard my mother say that many things have been smuggled out of the house by them and exchanged for silver and locked up, even if the general and his wife come back in the future, know what they have done, and want to drive them out of the house, they will not worry about running out of money in their lives." ”
"In this way, I can't find anything of value even when I go to the big house."
Gently touched her chin and had a headache.
As soon as Caiyue heard the gentle words, her sharp eyes swept over, "Miss, what do you want to do?" ”
"It's nothing, I just want to get what belongs to me back."
The words of gentleness are light and breezy, but in fact, there is also the meaning of wanting to test the color moon.
"That's as it should be." Caiyue didn't feel anything else after listening to the gentle words, the entire general's mansion belonged to the general and his wife.
Now that the general and his wife are not in the mansion, the young lady is the biggest.
Isn't it a matter of course that she's going to get back what belongs to her?!
"However, now most of the people in the house have taken refuge in the big man's side, Miss, you are recovering from a serious illness, and our strength can't be compared with the big house!"
Caiyue knows very well that Dafang has controlled the house in recent years, and even secretly raised a group of thugs.
And on the young lady's side, plus she and her mother are only three people, it is really not a wise move to go to the big house.
Looking at Caiyue, who was frowning, she gently stretched out her finger and poked her, and smiled lightly, "Don't worry!" I'm not so stupid to touch a stone with an egg. ”
"By the way, do you know where the big house usually puts valuable things?"
She has a storage room, and as long as she finds a place where they hide things, she can take them all away without realizing it, and she needs to go straight to the front.
"I only know that there is a small room in the inner room of the eldest lady's room, which says that the eldest lady's dowry is placed, but who in the house doesn't know that when the eldest lady married the eldest lord in her early years, she still lived in the military household, and the eldest lady's maiden family is also very poor, how can there be any dowry that can lock a room."
Caiyue rolled her eyes as she spoke, obviously disdainful of what the big house was doing.
Gently listened to Caiyue's words, touched her chin, and it seemed that she was looking for a chance to go shopping in the big house.
But there were so many people in this house, and the locked room was still in the inner room.
How could she get in without even noticing?
