The wind was slow at night, the clouds were sparse, and Yan Lingxiao sat quietly in the pavilion, feeling sad and sad.

The maidservant girl stepped forward to put on her coat and said, "Girl, the slave knows that you are depressed in your heart, but there is no room for change in this matter, you still ...... Don't think about it anymore......" Yan Lingxiao pursed her lips, stood up and said, "You accompany me to the garden for a walk......"

When he went out, Yan Lingxiao didn't dare to complain at will, and he didn't dare to persuade him more, in case Yan Lingxiao's heart was about his cousin's matter to spread out, but it was a scandal, and he couldn't raise his head in this life. The master and servant went to the garden in silence, and from the sound of insects chirping in the grass, there was a faint voice: "Childe, it's late at night, you should go back early to rest." ”

Yan Lingxiao's footsteps paused, this was the voice of the little guy next to Yan Hong...... She looked at her unnaturally, and she shook her head at her nervously, hoping that she wouldn't cause more trouble. But Yan Lingxiao saw the long and clear back in front of him, gritted his teeth and stepped forward. "Big Brother ......"

Yan Hong looked back in surprise and saw that it was the eldest daughter of the second room, so he smiled gently: "Second sister, it's so late, why don't you rest?" ”

Seeing this, he bowed and bowed, and then retreated far away. Yan Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief slightly. But looking at Yan Hong, he didn't know how to answer, he was obviously because he couldn't sleep at night and couldn't eat. However, if these words had been put in the past, she might have dared to say them tentatively, but now, it is only rotten in the stomach. "I just can't sleep, big brother...... Why haven't you rested yet? ”

Yan Hong's eyes were gentle and gentle, he reached out and touched the top of Yan Lingxiao's head gently, did not answer her words, just smiled and sighed: "The huge Yan Mansion, only you, are willing to say a few more words to me." Yan Lingxiao looked up in surprise, and Yan Hong said: "I grew up outside, and I can't even get acquainted with the relatives in the house, and it is common sense not to be close. But I thought, after a long time, the second and third uncles and you will always be able to turn around a little, and they will not always treat me as an outsider. ”

Yan Lingxiao was saddened by what he said, thinking that the other party had been living abroad since he was a child, he must have suffered a lot, and he didn't know how much effort he had put in to get to where he was today. However, just when he was about to succeed, he lost everything because of his relatives, and everything had to start from scratch. To be honest, Yan Lingxiao once felt worthless for him, the people of the Yan family had never given him anything, but they were still thinking about how to calculate him.

Yan Hong saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, and said softly: "What's wrong with the second sister?" ”

Yan Lingxiao's eyes were hesitant, and he didn't dare to look directly at Yan Hong, but he still really expressed his worries and contradictions. Yan Hong had already guessed in his heart that the second and third rooms would be angry and act secretly. Seeing this, it all understands. However, he didn't ask anything, but instead comforted Yan Lingxiao and said, "Second sister, I know you want to help me, but it's in the way of your relatives......"

"No, big brother, they are also your relatives! They shouldn't treat you like this......" Yan Lingxiao couldn't control her tears, and her pearls trembled and slipped down her cheeks. She threw herself into Yan Hong's arms, hugged each other tightly, and the soothing and light aroma dyed her cheeks and hair, making her tremble, and she said, "I can't watch you suffer anymore, I can't ......"

The girl standing in the distance was so frightened that she almost screamed, and covered her mouth for fear of making a sound and attracting others. She hesitated to step forward and pull Yan Lingxiao away, but she was stiff for a moment and couldn't move her steps.

"Second sister...... You, don't cry......" Yan Hong was shocked by her hug like this, although they are brother and sister, blood is connected, it is not impossible to be so close, but he and the other party are not grown up together, and the relationship is deep and there is no way to talk about it. Her movements were really a bit abrupt.

Yan Lingxiao's face was buried in Yan Hong's chest, feeling the other party's warm and powerful heartbeat, and she was almost reluctant to raise her head, but her hand holding the other party still let go, and the tears flowed more fiercely. She hung her head, spoke low and fast, and said: "Father and third uncle are already discussing the matter of separating the family, I don't know what to do to you, Xiao'er can't help the eldest brother, I can only say so much, I hope the eldest brother can be prepared and can protect his foothold." ”

There is only one lonely person in the big house, Yanhong, if there is no support from the other two rooms, it is likely to fall and not be able to turn over. Yan Lingxiao couldn't bear to see him end up like this, but he couldn't help but leave his mother's admonition behind.

Yan Hong's expression was hurt, as if he couldn't believe that his relatives would abandon him again, he reached out lonely to wipe away Yan Lingxiao's tears, and said, "Second sister, thank you......"

Yan Lingxiao couldn't stand it anymore, covered his face and turned around and ran away.

Yan Hong saw her back disappear into the moonlight, and slowly lowered her arm. Hearing a chuckle in his ear, the masked man flashed out of the shadows and said, "I heard that Yan Hui had a charming affection for his biological sister back then, it seems that the Yan family has a little bit of this problem...... He glanced at Yan Hong and quipped: "You won't feel any pity for her because of this." ”

Yan Hong raised his lips and sneered, "If she is not a threat, I will consider leaving her a whole corpse." ”

The masked man shook his head and said, "It's really pitiful, I actually care about a cold-hearted and heartless person like you, who must have not done good deeds in his previous life." ”

Yan Hong was noncommittal and said: "The people in the second and third rooms can't hold it back, I have to speed up my movements." What happened to the Qin family, did Ji Tianjiao come in handy? ”

The masked man said: "It's useful, how can it be useless, the Qin family is just an ignorant stupid woman, thinking that she has established her heels, and sees herself as the head of the family like a big family." ”

Yan Hong showed a satisfied look, and was just about to speak, when the masked man suddenly stopped his words and flew towards the corner of the garden. After a while, the masked man returned to Yan Hong with a girl in his hand, and said with a cold face: "I was knocked unconscious, I'm afraid I've been standing there and eavesdropping for a long time." ”

Yan Hong stepped forward and pinched the girl's face and looked at it, squinting: "Yan Linghan? He snorted coldly, let go of her jaw, and said, "I'm afraid that she fell behind Yan Lingxiao, and she was alone?" ”

The masked man nodded, "She's alone." ”

Yan Hong pondered for a moment and said, "Aren't the second and third rooms going to deal with me in a joint way, just take this opportunity to let them get separated." You hang her in the third room and let them fight in the nest. ”

As soon as the words fell, a voice calling Yan Linghan came from a distance, and a woman said: "The girl wants to go to the second girl to have a look, and I feel that the night breeze is cold halfway, so I turned around and went back to get the cloak for the girl, who knew that I took the cloak and went to the yard of the second girl, but the third girl was not there, it was so late, where could she go?" ”

Another woman said, "The second girl didn't see the third girl? ”

"Say yes no ......"

Yan Hong glanced at the masked man and quietly withdrew from the courtyard. The masked man hid in the dark and glanced at the two maidservants who came over, and quietly carried the unconscious Yan Linghan and disappeared into the garden.

On the second day, Yan Hong drank tea leisurely in the room, listening to the sound of the second wife Yan crying outside, and said on the side: "The trouble last night has come to this day, and the second wife is really energetic. ”

Yan Hong said: "My daughter died inexplicably in the third room, how can she not make a fuss." It's enough for them to make trouble for a while, lest they jump out and get me in trouble. I have more important things to do now. ”

In the second room, Yan Lingxiao looked at her sister's corpse with a pale face, and her ears were filled with the cry of her mother's heart. Yu'er was a little nervous and helped her, not daring to say a word.

The people in the third room stood around inexplicably, looking at each other, and no one knew what was going on. Second Master Yan was full of anger and regret, and asked Yan Lingxiao over and over again: "Xiao'er, Han'er really didn't go to your yard?" ”

"No...... There really isn't a ......" Yan Lingxiao didn't lie, although she wasn't in the courtyard at that time, but the next person also said that Yan Linghan never went to her. Although she vaguely felt in her heart that Yan Linghan must have seen her out of the yard and secretly followed her to the garden, should she say it or not!

Mrs. Yan Er said loudly: "What else are you asking!" People died in the third room! But you always ask Xiao'er what to do? Could it be that you still think that Han'er was killed by Xiao'er?! ”

Yan Lingxiao couldn't help but cover her face and cry when she heard this, although she and her sister had a disagreement since childhood, she never thought that the other party would die. Who killed her? If she really followed her quietly to the garden last night, then why did she die in the third room? Could it be that someone in the third room saw her talking to Yan Hong in the garden last night, and was bumped into by her sister, so she was killed?

Yan Lingxiao thought of this, her heart was cold, she looked at Mrs. Yan Er sadly, and hesitated: "Mother, Xiao'er has something to say to you......

……

At noon, Ji Tianjiao left the house with great anticipation. At this time, she was very determined, so she thought about contacting Yan Hong and informing him of the major and minor events she had collected in the near future. So early in the morning, I asked Mi Yun to go to Tianxiang Pavilion to deliver the news, leaving a message saying that I wanted to meet him.

Tianxiang Pavilion is still inconspicuous, but now it has become the place that Ji Tianjiao is most looking forward to.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw that it was her, he invited her to the back hall and conveyed Yan Hong's meaning to her. said: "Childe has been busy lately, so you can write down what you want to say, and you don't have to meet." At the same time, let you not come to Tianxiang Pavilion often, and Gongzi will not come to Tianxiang Pavilion to meet you again, so as not to attract the attention of others. ”

Ji Tianjiao was greatly disappointed, so he had to leave the paper he had written down in advance and reluctantly went back. As soon as she left, the shopkeeper entered the secret room and handed over her account to Yan Hong.

Yan Hong opened it and glanced at it, frowning.

Ji Tianjiao said that she only knew that there was indeed a maid named Tang Nian in Ji Erlan's courtyard, but she had never seen this person walking around the house, so she had no way to contact her...... Yan Hong's heart suddenly lifted: "Tang Nian...... Is something going on? ”
