"It's almost the New Year, don't run out all day, a daughter's family goes out all day long, it's not like it." Liu Yuehan originally saw that her daughter really had nothing to do these days, so she was allowed to go out, but who knew that she was going out every day these days, which was really a bit unusual.

"Okay, mother, I'll be at home with you for a good New Year these days." Xie Qingyu heard this, so he had to give his mother a softness, fortunately, it was about to be the New Year, and it was not a matter of going out all day.

Several people were preparing dinner together, but Xie Qingyu went to Seinfeld's house in the afternoon and ate too many snacks, so he was not hungry for a while, but just ate some dishes at random, so he went out of the room to practice in the courtyard.

Although the yard is cold, but the venue is larger than the activity in the room, I have been practicing every day for the past few months, Yuan Bao and Qianqiu have long been used to it, after this period of exercise, she can also feel that her physique has improved significantly, just say that the skill, although it has not recovered to the original ten, but seven or eight percent is also there.

In ancient times, there was little entertainment, Xie Qingyu could only stay in the room after practicing, and there was nothing else to do, so he had to flip through idle books, but most of these books were academic books, and they seemed to be mostly boring, and remembered that if he passed the literary exam, there were nine talents waiting for him later, and now he just had time to dive into the heart to practice embroidery, when he first came here before, he learned some basics, and it happened to be some time away from the Jiucai exam.

It's just that only embroidery has always been afraid that it is more difficult to pass, and the other talents in the nine talents have to be practiced by themselves, so after thinking about it, he turned out a piece of rice paper and began to practice calligraphy.

Time flies quickly, it's midnight, but the candle in her room is still on, writing brush words is extremely important, that is, to focus on one mind, her square italics have to be strong, the school has been on holiday for a few days, she has never touched the pen and ink since the Japanese exam, and now she can only practice diligently.

It's just that now her stomach is very hungry, and after she has eaten enough in the afternoon, she didn't eat well at the dinner she just ate at home, and she is really hungry after studying at this time.

Xie Qingyu went out to take a look, and found that the lights had already been turned off in her mother's house and Qianqiu's house, and she must have fallen asleep, so she had to go to the small kitchen blindly, but she rummaged through the kitchen and never found a steamed bun, she was very puzzled, and there was no way, even if the mother's room was a little hearty, but the mother had fallen asleep, and now it was not good to wake her up.

Xie Qingyu thought about it and went back to the room, but the feeling of being hungry was very uncomfortable, she couldn't sleep for a long time, and suddenly thought that since there was no small kitchen, there would definitely be some food in the dining room, just do it.

She got up and changed into civilian clothes, and gently walked out of the room, tiptoeing out of the gate of Magnolia Garden.

At this moment, it is estimated that it is about three o'clock, and the servants of Xie Mansion are resting at the moment, and Xie Qingyu has not seen anyone along the way, only the red lantern and the moonlight are shining in the dark.

After a while, she finally reached the dining room, which was dark except for two lanterns hanging from the door, which emitted a dim light.

Xie Qingyu quietly pushed open the door, and following the moonlight, she walked to the stove and began to look for food, sure enough!

There are a lot of delicious foods in the dining room, and there is even chicken that I didn't eat for dinner, Xie Qingyu picked a few dishes, and planned to leave the dining room with a plate, but when she just walked out of the door of the dining room, she heard a movement next door to the dining room, which seemed to be the sound of pushing stones.

Xie Qingyu thought about who would be here at such a late hour, and what was the sound of the stones colliding?

Unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, Xie Qingyu followed the source of the sound and quietly walked over, in fact, next door to the dining room is the warehouse where Xie Mansion stores food and kitchen utensils, the two rooms are not far away, there is only a small door in the middle, which can ensure that the two places can pass normally, and Fang Cai's voice came from near the warehouse.

It's just that this small door is locked at night, and the warehouse is not as good as the dining room, and this time the warehouse is mostly the precious ingredients needed for the entire year's closing period, and I am afraid that if someone comes to steal it, this time it is locked.

Xie Qingyu looked through the crack in the door, and saw nothing in the black light, but after a while, the sound of rubbing the stone came again, Xie Qingyu was close at this time, and he found the target in an instant.

Because the warehouse is within the sight of Xie Qingyu, there is a wall next to it, at this moment, a person dressed in black came into Xie Qingyu's eyes, but because he was wearing black, if he didn't look carefully, he really couldn't see it, although Xie Qingyu felt that this person's figure was very familiar, but he didn't remember who it was for a while.

The man was struggling to take down one of the bricks on the wall at the moment, and took out something from his sleeve and stuffed it in, Xie Qingyu didn't see it clearly, so the man closed the brick again, but at the moment when it was placed, the man suddenly looked back in the direction of Xie Qingyu, which made Xie Qingyu startled.

Moment!

The plate in his hand fell, making a clattering sound, and the ingredients spilled all over the ground.

The man went directly from the side door, turned over, flew over directly, saw the food scattered on the ground, his eyes suddenly carried a trace of murderous aura, and looked at the open door of the dining room fiercely, and chased him out in an instant.

Xie Qingyu is hiding in the backyard of the kitchen at the moment, as soon as the door of the dining room goes out, there is a long corridor, there is no way to avoid it at all, if she really runs out, she will be caught by this person, so the most dangerous place at the moment is the safest place, she has to do it.

She also didn't expect that she wanted to come and get something to eat tonight, but she didn't expect to break another incident, as far as she knew, the dining room and the storeroom were close to each other's outer walls, and the person didn't know what was stuffed into the wall, and he must be delivering a letter to someone outside the Xie Mansion.

Xie Qingyu was very calm at the moment, she was in the kitchen backyard for an hour, she couldn't go out at the moment, if that person hadn't left, wouldn't she be actively exposed if she went out.

It's just that it's winter, it's very cold outside, Xie Qingyu stayed for about half an hour, and now it will be bright in less than two hours, so he got up and walked to the gate of the dining room.

I quietly looked outside, and found that there was no movement, so I walked back to Magnolia Garden.

Xie Qingyu didn't sleep well this night, she had been thinking about the man in black, no one in black who appeared in Meiyuan for the first time made her feel danger, but the moment the man in black turned around, she sensed the danger and hid, and the figure of the man was very familiar.

Suddenly!

She remembered the ups and downs in Jiangning in the past few days, presumably what she overheard in Meiyuan that day must have been the words of the Miao people, and she just felt that the figure was very familiar, almost exactly the same as the figure of the person who spoke in Meiyuan that day, right! Steward Liu!

It's Steward Liu, Xie Qingyu is very sure at this time that one of the people who spoke in Meiyuan that day was Steward Liu, and the one who stuffed things into the wall today must have been done by Steward Liu!

Xie Qingyu began to recall all kinds of housekeepers Liu, but he didn't expect that Steward Liu, who looked quite polite on weekdays, was actually a spy of the Miao people, and it seemed that he was afraid that he was not a low status among the Miao people, and now he was mixed with the position of the housekeeper of the Xie Mansion.

Xie Fu is not said to be the richest man in the entire Dayan, but it is also one of the best in the entire Jiangnan, and now Steward Liu lurks in the Xie family for money, or for other reasons.

She originally heard those people talk about spies in Yi'anju and still didn't believe it, but now she didn't expect that she had encountered it with her own eyes, and she didn't know if Steward Liu had found out if he had found out.

Thinking like this, Xie Qingyu fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes again, she was woken up by Yuanbao.

Xie Qingyu didn't sleep well last night, and he woke up listless this morning, just eating casually, and he was even more absent-minded.

"What's wrong with Ah Yu? You didn't eat well last night, what's wrong with this morning. Seeing her like this, Liu Yuehan asked.

Xie Qingyu listened to his mother's words, then came back to his senses and looked at Liu Yuehan, his mother has been in this mansion for more than 20 years, presumably there should be some contact with Steward Liu, Xie Qingyu thought about it and said.

"Mother, do you remember when Steward Liu entered the house?" I don't know the ins and outs of Steward Liu, and now I don't know if Steward Liu found out last night.

If he is found out and knows such a big secret, Steward Liu will definitely wait for the opportunity to kill him, since ancient times, all the spies have been ruthless, the six relatives do not recognize it, and he was really in a hurry yesterday, and I don't know if anything was left behind.

Now no matter what, you must take the initiative to attack, if you want to defeat the opponent, you must first understand the opponent, otherwise if he starts first, he is not a dead end, and now his mother is still waiting for his own life, and he can't die.

"Steward Liu, why did you suddenly ask about Steward Liu." Liu Yuehan was also very puzzled, why did her daughter suddenly ask about Steward Liu.

"It's okay, I just suddenly remembered to ask." Xie Qingyu pretended not to care and said.

Now Liu Yuehan must not let Liu Yuehan know about this matter, otherwise not only will she be killed, but even her mother will not be spared.

"Steward Liu, in my mother's memory, it should be more than ten years ago in the Xie Mansion, I heard that he fled from the south due to famine at that time, fortunately, he has always been loyal to the master, so he was promoted to be a housekeeper." Liu Yuehan didn't care either, so she began to recall, told the origin of Steward Liu, and glanced at Xie Qingyu again.

"Time flies so fast, before you know it, you are so old, and Steward Liu has been in Xie Mansion for more than ten years."

Xie Qingyu listened to his mother's words, and then he realized that Steward Liu had been in Xie Mansion for more than ten years, and it was still a famine? South? Presumably it was to find an excuse to infiltrate Jiangning, and it is estimated that the famine at that time took the opportunity to send a lot of people to Jiangnan.

At this time, the dining room.

Steward Liu came to the warehouse early in the morning to check the quantity of grain and the situation of kitchen utensils.
