He came to his senses.

The sound of people and footsteps outside suddenly became lively, and the dotted torches flickered faintly.

Discovered?

Xiao Heng looked out quietly, and saw that a group of guards seemed to have received some order, leading in one direction, and soon the guards outside left.

Xiao Heng observed for a while longer, and only went out after making sure that everyone was indeed gone.

Although he didn't know what caused him to gather so many guards, it was all beneficial to him. It was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so he hurried to the place agreed with Yunhuai.

There were no people along the way, so there must have been something very important. It has taken a lot of time, and it is easy to arouse suspicion if you don't hurry back to the lobby.

I hurried all the way, turned a corner, and suddenly bumped into a person: "Hiss...... Who is walking so fast, what are you doing! ”

Xiao Heng looked down and saw that it was the girl in the secret room just now. He was vigilant in his heart, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't see anyone, you weren't hurt, right?" ”

The little girl looked up at him and was stunned: "It's okay, I was not careful, I was offended." ”

Xiao Heng asked tentatively again: "Seeing that the girl is in a hurry, is there something urgent?" ”

The little girl really looked at him vigilantly: "Why are you asking this?" What I'm going to do is none of Childe's business, right? ”

"No, I'm just wondering if the girl is lost, so I'm going to help." Xiao Heng smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were hearty.

The little girl was stunned. She just couldn't find her way back - she hadn't been to this ancestral hall much on weekdays, and it was dark at night, so it was hard to know the way. She thought for a moment and said, "Well, I want to go to the lobby, can you take me there?" ”

When he laughed, if the moon was in his arms, the moon on August 15 was less than half a minute of his eyebrows: "Yes, I wonder if the girl can tell Fang's name?" You don't have to be so polite below. ”

"Hmm...... Okay, the little girl, Awan, just offended Childe, and please don't take Childe to heart. She bowed slightly, which was regarded as revenge for the collision.

"Awan, there is a beautiful person, clear and graceful...... Good name. He smiled, "Let's go, I'll take you there." ”

She looked at his back and was stunned, and only took a few steps to follow.

No one spoke along the way, but Ah Wan wanted to speak out a few times, but she felt that it was inappropriate and held back.

Xiao Heng has also been quiet, sometimes she can't keep up, he will slow down and wait for her to catch up, all the way calm and steady.

Tonight's wind was light, Ah Wan followed the people around him in a few steps, he wore a moon-white streamer robe, and reflected another piece of bright moonlight in the moonlight. Xiao Heng's side face is very good-looking, the bridge of his nose is high, and his eyebrows are hearty with Xingyue, and he can hook people's souls when he laughs.

Xiao Heng noticed her gaze and turned his head to look at her. Ah Wan was discovered, and her beautiful upbringing made her blush: "That, the son is handsome, I can't help but take a few more looks." ”

Xiao Heng smiled: "The girl is also a beauty, and there will be more handsome sons I will see in the future, and I am nothing." ”

Ah Wan thought about it, but couldn't answer again, and the two returned to silence.

The road is not long, but it is not far, and it is near the lobby at this time. Ah Wan was about to say something, when a group of guards in the distance suddenly shouted and ran over here: "Miss is here!" ”

This roar made the people nearby pay attention, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief. The guards ran to the two of them: "Miss, are you alright?" The head of the house has gathered most of the guards, all of whom are ***. ”

Ah Wan shook her head: "I'm fine." ”

As he spoke, a few more groups of people hurried over. When I got closer, I found that it was a group of servants surrounded by a beautiful woman, followed by an extraordinary man. As soon as the woman saw Ah Wan, her red eyes burst into tears: "Eh, my Ah Wan, where have you been?"

You can't find it, I thought it was ...... I thought ......" She grabbed Awan and checked it up and down.

"Mother, I'm fine, I just wanted to go back to the yard to get some things, I got lost in the middle of the night, and this son sent me back." She comforted her lady and pointed to Xiao Heng behind her.

Xiao Heng saluted with each other: "Meet the head of the family, madam." ”

Mu Zongxin nodded and asked, "Tonight's banquet, all the guests are gathered in the lobby, why did you happen to meet Awan?" ”

His words seemed to be light and light, but they were extremely sharp, and suddenly his gaze shot at him. Xiao Heng had already thought of his rhetoric, and replied without leaking: "Go home, there are people who have just made poems and music at the banquet, and they have received a lot of good rewards, and now I want to go back and get a famous painting to dedicate to the head of the family, so as to gain benefits for myself." On the way back, I happened to meet the young lady, so I sent the young lady over first. ”

Before Mu Zongxin could speak, Mu Wan spoke first: "You knew from the beginning that I was a young lady?" ”

Xiao Heng smiled: "Miss is dressed extraordinarily and has an excellent upbringing, such a girl is not a young lady, but must be a maid next to Miss." ”

Mu Zongxin looked at him quietly for a long time, and suddenly spoke: "What's your name?" ”

"In Xia Yunheng, the Mu family that entered some time ago, a letter of recommendation written by Marquis Zhao."

Zhao Zheng ...... You have helped the young lady this time, and you have been promoted to a first-class guest, and you will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver, cloth and satin, and a number of books. After Mu Zongxin finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, and turned to leave.

The beautiful woman also regained her dignified and atmospheric demeanor, and smiled at Xiao Heng: "Thank you for your help, come to appreciate antiques, antiques, jewelry and jade." ”

Xiao Heng arched his hand: "Mrs. Xie." ”

Mrs. Mu nodded and looked at Mu Wan: "Don't thank you yet?" ”

Mu Wan kept staring at Xiao Heng in a daze, and only then did she wake up: "Oh, thank you Gongzi for your help." ”

Xiao Heng smiled at her. Mrs. Mu took Mu Wan's hand: "Let's go, go back and eat something, I asked someone to make your favorite hibiscus crisp ......"

Mu Wan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back again, just turned her head and took a good look at Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng stood under the laurel tree, and the moonlight was mottled through the shadows of the trees and sprinkled on his moon-white robe, as if embroidered with starlight in the sky. This scene was completely left in the memory of time.

Xiao Heng watched the mother and daughter go farther and farther, and smiled even more.

A young lady who is smart enough to enter and exit the Mu family's secret room and loved by her parents will know how many secrets of the Mu family......
