"When you're sleepy, go to bed, what are you doing sitting here?"

Mu Jingzhu walked into the room, and woke up Qu Youying, who was sitting at the table, holding her head, and sleepy, with a word.

"Jing Candle, you're back!" Qu Youying yawned, rubbed her eyes and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, where have you been?" ”

"There's something to deal with."

Mu Jingzhu stepped forward and sat down beside her, because of his movements, a gust of wind was stirred, and in this gust of wind, there was a kind of fragrance.

It is a fragrance that belongs only to women.

Qu Youying's nose moved slightly, and she asked, "Did you go to the women's pile?" A scent on the body. ”

She originally said this unintentionally, but after saying that, she remembered the woman who had close contact with Mu Jingzhu, but unfortunately, so far, she didn't know who that woman was.

But what can make Mu Jingzhu only have this kind of fragrance on his body must be that he has had intimate contact with this woman.

As soon as she thought of this, her heart felt as if she had been stabbed by a needle, and there were bursts of pain.

"I went to find a woman and learned something about Shuifu. After all, there are some things that people inside don't want to say, but people outside know. Mu Jingzhu didn't notice the change in her expression, her eyes stared at the box with the gold and didn't move, and suddenly said, "Why did you put the box here?" ”

"I found this." She let go of the sourness in her heart, spread out her palm, and took out the scrap of paper, "It was found in the mechanism in the box, this is the corner of the envelope, I thought you found something in the mechanism, so you went out." ”

"There's something in there."

"What?"

Mu Jingzhu glanced at her and took out a letter from his arms, and the corner of the envelope did break a gap.

"It was written by the old lady."

Qu Youying took the letter, opened it and looked at it, it was written that the old lady hoped that they would continue to investigate behind their backs, because she suspected that since the first female corpse appeared in Shuifu, she had fallen into someone's trap.

But their goal in Shuifu is relatively large, so Lao Taijun will make this decision. And at the bottom of the letterhead, there is also a detailed map of the water house, as well as the relationship between people, including the next person.

"I'm afraid it took a lot of time to be so detailed." Qu Youying looked down, always a little unconvinced, put the letter on the table, and asked, "Is this really given by the old lady?" ”

"The old lady was injured in her right hand a few years ago and couldn't write, this was written by the maid next to her, I went out today, just to find someone to do a handwriting comparison."

"So it's really her? But it doesn't make sense! ”

Qu Youying didn't understand, this old lady was clearly fake, and the dead carrion was the real old lady, but why did she want them to continue to investigate?

"Do you think she's not afraid of her identity being revealed?" Qu Youying pinched the corner of the letter with her fingers and said softly, "Or did it on purpose, so that we could remove the stepping stones for her?" ”

"Thirty-five years ago, Lao Taijun was kidnapped, and in the end he was rescued, but his leg was broken."

When Qu Youying heard him say this suddenly, her heart jumped, and she said, "Does this have something to do with what happened thirty-five years ago?" ”

"I don't know. It seems that the incident was deliberately hidden, and all that Shui Fu knew was that Lao Taijun had his leg broken, but as far as I know, during the time when Lao Taijun was kidnapped, it was the day when Shui Fu chose the head of the family again. After the old lady came back, Xu was stimulated, like a different person, however, it didn't take long for her to take out the ancient scrolls, saying that this generation of homeless people is suitable, and since then, the size of the water mansion is suitable, and it has been controlled by the old lady himself. ”

"I see that several masters of Shuifu, although they have not dealt with them, they don't look like graceful people, why are there no suitable people? On the contrary, I don't think Shui Wuze and Shui Lin Ze are suitable candidates for the head of the family, how can they be sure that they are one of them? Moreover, the head of the family of Shuifu has been chosen by using books and scrolls for generations, so won't the position of the head of the family fall on Shui Tongze's body? ”

Qu Youying said several possibilities in a row, and these Mu Jingzhu also considered it, but his purpose was that no matter who the ancient scroll chosen, he had to make Shui Linze the head of the Shuifu family.

It's just that he can't tell Qu Youying about this.

"Right now, Old Taijun, Shui Wuze and Shui Linze asked us to investigate privately at the same time, so this matter may not be able to abandon the light and turn to the dark." Mu Jingzhu put away the letter on the table and said, "So you need to be vigilant these days, even if the person behind the curtain doesn't appear, King Yi will come to you again." ”

Speaking of King Yi, Qu Youying frowned.

"Why do you think this person is so annoying? Did I destroy one of his soldiers? Is it necessary for him to pester me? ”

"Hey", Mu Jingzhu smiled, and he smiled very softly.

"You say that he really holds a grudge, so he is looking for trouble for you in every possible way?"

Qu Youying blinked and said, "Isn't it?" ”

Mu Jingzhu shook his head and stood up, walked to the cabinet with the gold box on the table, and opened it, "No." ”

"What's that?"

Qu Youying held her chin with one hand and tilted her head to look at him.

"Your red beads."

Qu Youying was shocked, and subconsciously lowered her eyes.

Mu Jingzhu put the box away, as if he hadn't noticed her abnormality, and continued, "About the red beads, Master must have told you everything. ”

Qu Youying was still silent.

"From the beginning of the case of the Wang family in Xiangling Town, Hongzhu began to appear quietly, and then you met Jiang Tong, and then it was linked to Yiwang's people, until now."

Qu Youying's frowning eyebrows tightened more and more, she listened to Mu Jingzhu's words, raised her eyes and said, "You mean, King Yi also wants to get the red bead?" ”

Mu Jingzhu didn't answer directly, but said, "The ancient scrolls of the Shangshu of the Water Mansion are related to the treasure of the Esoteric Sect Tianxuan, and the red beads are from the Tianxuan Sect, even if there is no imperial order this time, they will come to the Water Mansion." ”

This time, Qu Youying bit her lip.

Xi Fengyi told her that after the red beads were in her hands, no matter who it was, even if it was her most intimate question, she couldn't give it.

It was something her mother had left behind at the expense of her life, and even if it was stained with blood, she was obliged to collect everything and destroy it completely.

"Therefore King Yi sought you that day to take you away. As long as you are in control, it is equivalent to holding everyone down. ”

Between the words, Mu Jingzhu had already walked in front of her, staring at her condescendingly, his eyes were in shadows, and he couldn't see what emotion it was.

"Xiaoying."

Mu Jingzhu put his hand on her shoulder, and before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Miss, are you in there?"

Qu Youying came back to her senses and said, "Come in." ”

Yun Shu opened the door and came in, and saw that Mu Jingzhu was also there, and then said, "Miss, the third lady of Shuifu asked someone to send a letter." ”

"Letter?"

Qu Youying was puzzled, Yun Shu handed the letter over, she opened it and saw that her brows were getting tighter and tighter.

"What's wrong?"

"Shui Wuyue wants me to meet in Qingzhuyuan tonight and say that I have something important to talk about in detail."

She took the letter to Mu Jingzhu, Mu Jingzhu glanced down, and said to Yun Shu, "Is the person who sent the letter still there?" ”

"Yes, waiting for a response."

"You go and tell her that Xiaoying will be on time."

"Okay."

Yun Shu closed the door and left, Qu Youying pursed her lips and said, "Why does Shui Wuyue want to see me?" Or about in Qingzhu Garden? What is that place? ”

"That's the old mansion of Shuifu, where Shui Tongze lives now."

"Huh?"

Qu Youying was dumbfounded.

Before the end of the night, Qu Youying came to an alley in front of Qingzhuyuan as promised, she carefully took out a head from the mouth of the alley, looked at the three big characters of Qingzhuyuan, and whispered, "I really want to go in?" This is not an abandoned house, but Mizutomi lives in it! ”

Her first contact with Shui Tongze was actually not very good, this person, although she was charming and handsome, had a very poisonous mouth, and she didn't let go of women, and she was a nasty person for Qu Youying.

And it's a nasty person who almost has no sense of existence in Shuifu.。

Because she inquired in Shuifu, the subordinates of Shuifu had no impression of this eldest prince, they just knew that this person existed.

And every time Shui Linze heard her mention Shui Tongze, he always smiled silently.

So such a person, if he and Shui Wuyue join forces, it is actually not an exaggeration.

Therefore, she came today, firstly, to make an appointment, and secondly, to see if they were in a group.

"Don't worry, I'll follow you." Mu Jingzhu gave her the small bag she was carrying, "The things in it are all taken from Qianxi's room, and when it is dangerous, you can hold on for a while." Also, if anything is wrong, just yell and I'll come in. ”

"Hmm."

With him by his side, Qu Youying's heart is very safe.

She saw that the hour was almost up, and walked over to the moonlight.

Standing in front of the closed door, Qu Youying wondered if she would knock on the door or climb the wall to get in.

At this moment of hesitation, the closed door was suddenly opened.

Only a slit was opened, and then a head was exposed.

It is the water without the moon.

Shui Wuyue poked her head out and looked left and right to see that no one was there before saying, "Come in." ”

Qu Youying nodded and walked in sideways.

Then the door was closed again, and Mu Jingzhu, who had been staring at Qu Youying, also jumped onto the roof at that moment and quietly entered the Qingzhu Garden.

It's just that no one noticed that behind him, there was a black-clothed figure, which appeared in Qingzhuyuan under the cover of night.

After Qu Youying entered, she didn't speak, but just followed Shui Wuyue's slender body and walked on the dark corridor.

She didn't know where Shui Wuyue would take her, but since she came, she wouldn't back down.

The two of them walked one after the other, and walked about a cup of tea before they arrived in front of an abandoned house.

The house looked very old, but the door was locked.

Shui Wuyue took out a key from her arms, skillfully opened the lock, then gently pushed open the side door, turned sideways and said to Qu Youying, "Go in." ”

Qu Youying saw that there was a faint light floating inside, but she stood still and didn't move.

"What are you bringing me here for?"

Shui Wuyue seemed to be afraid of being discovered, and urged a little anxiously, "You will know when you go in." I won't hurt you. ”

Although she said this, Qu Youying still didn't move.

When she unlocked the lock, she observed her surroundings.

In this room, when she went out, all the windows were sealed with wooden strips, if she went in first and Shui Wuyue locked the door directly, she wouldn't be able to escape.

So her heart moved slightly, and when she didn't pay attention to Shui Wuyue, she stretched out her hand and pushed her hard.
