It was night, all the sounds were silent, in the bamboo branch garden, Xia Mengning had already slept, Zhulian and Jiu'er had also rested, under the moonlight, the two figures moved quietly and quickly, from the stone path, quickly flashed into the bamboo branch garden.

One of them held a slender tubular object in his hand and quietly pried open the gate of the bamboo branch garden, and the two of them quietly turned over and entered without making a sound.

Entering the garden, the two quickly glanced at each other, and during the day, they had already found out which room the girl lived in, so the two decided that one would let the wind go, and the other would go in and rob the girl out.

A person quickly came to the door, quietly opened the door and walked in, there was a person lying on the bed in the back room, and the person who came looked happy, that is, this girl was right, so he quietly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stun the person on the bed.

It was a steady move, but the person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, quickly grabbed her arm, and pulled one of her arms out of the mortar.

"You're not Jiu'er?" Someone exclaimed.

Wu Qing sat up from the bed, wearing the clothes he wore during the day, and casually took a silk cloth from the side and stuffed it into the woman's mouth.

In the Bamboo Branch Garden, the lights were quickly lit, Zhulian and Jiu'er were dressed neatly, Xia Mengning sat on the top seat, drank the tea in his hand and said, "Who sent you?" ”

The mother-in-law's arm kneeling on the ground had been dislocated, and the pain was severe, and she was just screaming in her mouth at the moment, unable to speak.

"Miss, the other one has already run away."

Xia Mengning looked at it, "It's okay, if she doesn't run, how can she lure the people behind her out, Wu Qing, you tied her up, Zhulian and Jiu'er, you go to Yong'an Hall and Rongfu Hall, tell your father and grandmother about this matter quickly, remember, the more big troubles the better." ”

The two of them took the order, and Xia Mengning said, "What about the housekeeper in the house?" ”

Wu Qing said: "Third Miss, don't worry, I have already told him to prepare, and now, he is sending people to guard the various exits of the mansion, and it is absolutely impossible for a fly to fly out." ”

Hearing this, the mother-in-law kneeling on the ground was startled, and when she raised her eyes to look at Xia Mengning who was on the top, there was a little more fear in her eyes, it turned out that this third lady had already known.

"That's good, you take her, let's go to Yong'an Hall."

After speaking, Xia Mengning took a coat from the couch and put it on in a hurry, but her hair was uncombed, and her head was full of green silk draped behind her head.

Zhulian and Jiu'er are both clever, and within a quarter of an hour, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was lit up, Xia Mengning and Wu Qing entered the Yong'an Hall together, Xia Chuanyuan was obviously asleep, and asked with a tired face: "What's the noise?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xie was also helped by the maid, Xia Mengning saw that the two of them had arrived, tears suddenly fell, and she fell to her knees with a plop, "Please daddy save my daughter." ”

When Xia Chuanyuan saw it, he was even more puzzled, and Xie Shi here looked impatient, "What the hell is going on, making such a big movement at night?" ”

Xia Mengning was crying, Zhu Lian stepped forward and said: "Old lady and master, our young lady is frightened, just now a mother-in-law broke into the third lady's room and frightened the third young lady, fortunately Wu Qing has not slept yet, and when she heard the sound, she went in to save the third young lady, otherwise ......"

After hearing this, Xia Chuanyuan couldn't help but get angry, "Who, which mother-in-law, bring her up." ”

Wu Qing kicked the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law rolled in front of Xia Chuanyuan with a grunt, Xia Chuanyuan looked at it carefully and asked, "Which garden mother-in-law are you, why do you want to go to the third lady's house at night?" ”

Wu Qing next to her took off the silk cloth in her mouth, and the woman finally got a chance to speak, so she hurriedly said: "The slave and maid don't have it, the slave and maid are just the treasures of the third lady who were rewarded by the emperor, and she wants to steal it, but she doesn't want to harm the third miss." ”

This mother-in-law is a clever person, Xia Mengning thought, saying that it was to steal things, naturally it was much lighter than going to kill people, thinking of this, he glanced at Wu Qing, and when he saw the other party nodded, Xia Mengning hurriedly shook his head at Xia Chuanyuan: "Daddy, no, my daughter saw her holding a dagger in her hand, she was going to murder her daughter." ”

Wu Qing seemed to inadvertently push the mother-in-law, and a dagger fell out of the mother-in-law's sleeve.

Seeing clearly that it was really a dagger, Xia Chuanyuan couldn't help but look angry: "What a bold man, say, who asked you to murder the third lady." ”

The mother-in-law was very surprised, she had never brought a dagger with her, where did this dagger come from, but in an instant, the mother-in-law understood what had happened, it must have been the third lady next to her.

"No, the slave didn't, the slave didn't want to kill the third lady."

At this moment, the Fang family also took Liu's mother's hand and walked in, Xia Mengning smiled, it was really all here, thinking of this, Xia Mengning hurriedly said: "Daddy, my daughter was scared just now, she didn't look carefully, but now she looks carefully, but she has never seen this person." ”

When Xia Chuanyuan heard this, his face immediately became puzzled, and after a few careful glances, he said to the little guy on the side: "Go and call the housekeeper in." ”

The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a middle-aged man, surnamed Li Mingyan, who has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for dozens of years, and has won the trust of Xia Chuanyuan, and his wife is also working in the kitchen of the mansion, but the things in the backyard are managed by the Fang family, although his husband is a housekeeper, but because he refuses to be in the same group as the Fang family, his wife is only doing chores in the kitchen.

Although Li Yan and his wife are not very wealthy, they are also dependent on each other, there is no messy concubine and aunt, the two have only one son, who is still young, and he is also Li Yan's old son, Li Yan attaches great importance to it, but unfortunately this son is congenitally insufficient, and he was born sick for a long time.

Xia Mengning learned of this situation, so he personally prepared medicine for Wu Qing to send, sure enough, his son only took a few doses of medicine, and his body improved greatly, Li Yan is grateful to Xia Mengning, he used to find many famous doctors, but he couldn't cure his son's illness, and now the third lady in this house cured his son with just a few doses of medicine, Li Yan naturally admired the five-body throw, this time, Xia Mengning asked him to help, of course he was hard-working.

Li Yan walked in, and first leaned over and saluted: "The little one has seen the old lady and the old lady." ”

"No need to be polite, come and see, this mother-in-law is from the house?" Xia Chuanyuan saw that Li Yan was coming, and his tone slowed down a little, after all, it was a master-servant relationship for decades.

"Yes!" Li Yan walked up to the mother-in-law, looked at it carefully, and replied respectfully: "If you go back to the master, the little one has never seen this mother-in-law." ”

"What?!" Xia Chuanyuan was shocked, this mother-in-law brought a dagger to assassinate Ning'er, and he thought that someone in the house had instructed him, but this mother-in-law was not a person in the house, that means that he was someone outside, who was it? Thinking of this, Xia Chuanyuan asked: "Why don't you tell the truth quickly, who sent you, if you don't say it, I will tie you up and take you to Yingtianfu, where the official master and I have a good relationship, I will tell him to treat you well." ”

The threatening words made the mother-in-law break out in a cold sweat, and the sister-in-law who was sent by the general to help him, that is, the prime minister's wife, originally thought it would be an easy thing, but the other party was just a yellow-haired girl who had not dried up, but the pair of lazy but brilliant eyes that he came into contact with just now had already let him know that this matter was much trickier than expected.

Fang Shi looked at the mother-in-law who was kneeling on the ground, and beat the drum in his heart, this mother-in-law was sent to him by his brother, and his martial arts were quite powerful, how could he be caught like this, just thinking about it, Xia Mengning opened his mouth and said: "Daddy, I don't think this mother-in-law will say it so honestly, when Wu Qing caught this mother-in-law, he saw that there was another mother-in-law in the yard, and he didn't know where he ran for a while, why didn't Dad send someone to search now, that mother-in-law and this one are in the same group, and the hiding place must be a place that he is familiar with, Where to find them, you can see how they came into the house. ”

Xia Chuanyuan heard this and felt that the method was feasible, so he said to Li Yan: "You take someone to the mansion to search all the gardens, and if you find a suspicious person, you will be tied up immediately." ”

Li Yan took the order, and Xia Mengning hurriedly said: "Daddy, Wu Qing has seen that mother-in-law, it is better to let Wu Qing go with him, so I can help." ”

Xia Chuanyuan nodded, "Okay, you can go together." ”

Everyone walked out of the house, Fang pinched his palms, and gave Mother Liu a look behind him, Mother Liu immediately nodded knowingly, ready to go out quietly.

"Mother's head still hurts?" Xia Mengning turned her head, looked at Fang's and asked with a smile, "Ning Er made trouble for her mother again yesterday, and I hope that your mother will forgive Ning Er." ”

Mother Liu was about to go out, and was frightened back by this sentence, Xia Chuanyuan saw it and asked, "Where are you going, is it possible that you know this mother-in-law?" ”

Mother Liu was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "No, no, master, the slave doesn't know her." ”

Fang's heart was anxious, but he didn't use any energy, he just blindly prayed, hoping that the other mother-in-law would not be found.

Things just didn't go well, before the Fang clan finished praying, Wu Qing and Li Yan came back, followed by a few small people, after Wu Qing came in, he kicked the person behind him, and the person was kicked to the center of the room.

Xia Chuanyuan saw the person who came clearly, and if it was really a mother-in-law who knew how to punch and kick, he couldn't help but be furious: "Say, who sent you all?" ”

Li Yan on the side said: "Master, this thief was found in Madame's Yilan Garden, and when she went down, she was hiding behind the screen in Madame's room, but fortunately, Miss Wu's sharp eyes caught her." ”

"Yilan Garden?" Xia Chuanyuan silently recited it, the Fang clan was a little unstable in fear, such a series of blows had already made her physically and mentally exhausted, her brother had said that this matter must be foolproof, but why was everything smooth.

Xia Chuanyuan looked at the Fang clan and asked sternly, "You say, how did this person get to your house?" ”

Fang Shi shook his head so hurriedly that he couldn't even speak.

Xie sat on the top, and was really disappointed in this daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart, she only had the heart to hurt people, but she had no ability to plan, but that Xi'er was like her mother, although she was beautiful, she was ruined by gold and jade, and she was not a big thing.

As for Ning'er, Xie looked at Xia Mengning who was standing on the side, his body was too angry, he was not a person who was easy to ponder, if he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, he was afraid that it would be difficult to control, Xie thought about it, there are only four girls in this house, except for Xi'er and Ning'er, the rest is You'er and Ran'er, You'er is a straight person, a little clever but not enough to become a big tool, but Ran'er, Xie Shi rolled his eyes, this Ran'er is quiet, he doesn't talk much on weekdays, but he is a smart child.

In just such a short period of time, Xie Shi has already figured out many things.
