Chapter 358: Stealing incense
Not only were there people outside the courtyard, but even people in the house began to mix in one after another.
Within a few days, Yue Rong and his son found that someone had moved their bags.
Although the man looked through it and restored everything to its original state, Yue Rong has always been cautious, and every time he arrives at a place, he will make some small mechanisms in the place where he keeps his belongings.
The man touched the powder he had put in his clothes, which completely let Yue Rong and his son know that Xie Yuan was really moved to them.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when Yue Rong took Yue Qian to visit the Xie family again, he lived in the Xie family's house on the grounds that he wanted to catch up with Mrs. Xie, and those who originally monitored and followed them everywhere and forced them to the point that they didn't even have time to breathe, after they entered the Xie family, they seemed to have scruples and didn't dare to follow too closely.
Yue Rong and Yue Qian saw that Xie Yuan was really afraid of Old Madam Xie, and the two of them, who had been nervous for several days, breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Xie personally dealt with Yue Rong and the others, and she didn't know what method to use, so that the two agreed to stay in Beijing and leave the next month.
β¦β¦
Su Ruan had been quietly paying attention to this matter, but he did not continue to intervene, and everyone in the mansion, except for Xie Yuan, Xie Qin, as well as Xie Qingheng and Old Lady Xie, did not know that Yue Rong's father and son had other purposes for living in the mansion.
On the night of the fifteenth, Xie Huan and a few people went out of the mansion to enjoy the lanterns in the city, but Su Ruan's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he found an excuse to stay in the mansion.
The sound of firecrackers outside is constant, and the sound of Yahuan laughing can be faintly heard.
Su Ruan sat by the window and looked at the books in his hand, thinking about Yue Rong's father and son and Emperor An's identity.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" from the window, and a stone fell down the lattice and jumped in.
Su Ruan looked up in surprise and saw Qi Wenfu standing on the edge of the courtyard wall.
"Lord Qi, is this an addiction to being a gentleman on the beam?"
Su Ruan closed the book and put it on his lap, and said coldly, "If people know that the dignified prince of the country is drinking and climbing the wall of the courtyard of other people's mansions every day, I am afraid that he will lose the face of the imperial court and make Lord Qi shameless in the future." β
Qi Wenfu didn't care about her cold words at all, he stepped forward directly and said, "It's so lively outside, why haven't you gone out for a walk?" β
Su Ruan pursed her lips: "Lord Qi is sarcastic about my bad behavior?" β
Qi Wenfu paused, looked at the little girl's unkind face, and couldn't help touching her nose.
This little girl has a bad temper, could it be that she really annoyed her that day, and she actually holds a grudge until now?
Thinking about Mo Linglan's appearance of coaxing those little girls before, he stepped forward and said:
"How? I am happy with you, even if you can't walk for the rest of your life, I will be your leg, carrying you forward. β
Su Ruan didn't hold back in the end, goosebumps jumped up when Qi Wenfu said this, she glanced at Qi Wenfu angrily, and snorted from her nose.
Qi Wenfu saw her look of admiration and insensitivity, and laughter overflowed from his throat.
Su Ruan looked at him and said, "Say, what are you looking for me for?" β
Qi Wenfu approached with a smile: "I miss you, so I came to see you." β
Su Ruan looked at him expressionlessly, looking like you could only believe it.
Qi Wenfu was amused by her, and after taking half a step back, his face became a little more serious and said: "It's nothing, I just heard that Yue Rong's father and son lived in the Xie family, so I came to ask you and Xie Hou Ye if they have any plans." β
"You also know that I have been investigating them all this time, these two people are cautious and leave no traces, and they have not seen any suspicious people in Beijing for a few days."
"You left them behind, but you want to use them to find out who is standing behind the Bo family?"
Su Ruan was not surprised that Qi Wenfu would know about this matter, and even if he didn't come today, she had planned to send someone to the Qi family to inform him of this matter tomorrow.
Now that Qi Wenfu came to ask, Su Ruan didn't hide it, nodded and said:
"The Bo family and the second prince have become substitute ghosts, and Jingnan's clues have also been broken, and now the only clue that can find out the people behind the scenes is Yue Rong's father and son, so they must not be allowed to return to Zhangning so easily."
Su Ruan told Qi Wenfu what she had said to Old Madam Xie before, and then told Qi Wenfu about their plans as well.
After finishing speaking, Su Ruan said:
"I talked to my grandmother about keeping them."
"Hou Ye Xie has been aggressive during this time, and he will also find an opportunity to leak some traces, so that they think he has found something, and they will definitely find a way to contact that person to send news to the past in a hurry."
"As long as they meet, they will definitely leave traces, and when the time comes, they may be able to catch all those who are hidden in the shadows."
Qi Wenfu listened to Su Ruan's words, stood by the window and said in a deep voice: "This is indeed a way. β
He thought for a moment and said:
"In that case, then I'll add a fire to the fire for you."
Su Ruan looked at Qi Wenfu and said with some curiosity: "What do you want to do?" β
Qi Wenfu raised his lips and said, "Guess." β
Su Ruan looked at the suddenly naΓ―ve Qi Wenfu and couldn't help but roll her eyes and stare at him.
What is there to guess, it is nothing more than learning to do something like Xie Yuan, which makes Yue Rong's father and son even more stressed, thinking that the traces are exposed, and even the people behind the scenes are difficult to feel at ease and mess up.
Qi Wenfu was amused by her appearance, and did not continue to talk about business, but said: "Today's Lantern Festival, it is very lively outside." β
"There is a lantern festival in the east of the city, and there are many juggling teams, I heard that Marquis Xie said that your body has improved a lot, and it is not a problem to go out and go around, how about it, but do you want me to take you out to see the lanterns?"
Su Ruan refused without hesitation: "Don't go." β
What's so nice about the lanterns, it's noisy and noisy, so it's better to stay in the house and read a book.
Qi Wenfu frowned when he heard this: "Really don't go?" β
Su Ruan shook his head: "Don't go." β
Qi Wenfu said: "Okay then." β
Su Ruan listened to Qi Wenfu give up and let her go out, and was relieved and was about to say let him go quickly.
Who would have thought that the person standing outside the window suddenly climbed through the window, grabbed the gray cloak placed next to the couch, and directly covered Su Ruan's body, and then hugged her and went out of the window again.
Without waiting for Su Ruan to exclaim, he realized that he was being carried a few times up and down to the courtyard wall, and then went directly over the wall.
Not far away, Cheng'er and Caiqi, who had just come back with bird's nest, happened to see this scene.
Cheng'er opened her mouth wide and exclaimed, "Miss...... Not! β
Cai Qian hurriedly covered her mouth.
Cheng'er's eyes widened.
Cai Qian said in a low voice: "If people know, it will ruin Miss's reputation." β
Cheng'er's face was slightly pale, so she suppressed her voice, but the shock in her heart was not a lot.
She glanced left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so she whispered: "Cai Qi, that ...... just now Is it Lord Qi? β
Cai Qian nodded, his eyes full of indescribable expressions.
No wonder Lord Qi has been helping Miss before, it turns out that he actually has such thoughts about Miss?
Cheng'er grabbed the tray in her hand, "But Miss and Lord Qi, they don't do much, how can Miss follow Lord Qi out of the house alone?" β
Cai Qian glanced at her when she heard this: "It's already out, can we still call Miss back?" β
When the time comes, I am afraid that the people did not call back, but alarmed the people in the house.
Cai Qian said in a low voice: "Miss and Lord Qi have different friendships, and Lord Qi has also saved Miss's life several times, and although there is no one in this courtyard because Miss doesn't like people approaching, there are many guards guarding outside." β
"If Miss really doesn't want to follow Master Qi, can Master Qi go?"
Cheng'er remembered the dozen or so tall guards outside, and shut up directly.
Cai Qian said to her: "The eldest prince and they are all out of the mansion, and there are still outsiders living in the mansion now, don't spread this matter, so as not to cause gossip." β
Cheng'er nodded, indicating that she understood.
Cai Qian pulled Cheng'er into the room.
