Chapter 261. Night Raid

Mei Yingxue had a lot of criticism about Sunan's approach, and Sunan couldn't fail to see Luo Qingqing's intentions, but she never explicitly refused. Is it all a coincidence that news like that broke out at a critical juncture? It is unlikely, Mrs. Yixiang's cautious personality must be extremely cautious in her actions, and if she doesn't put in a lot of effort, I'm afraid that she won't find out anything. He even guessed that Sunan was not trying to investigate Mrs. Xiang, so he deliberately did not avoid Luo Qingqing.

"People's hearts are unpredictable, and the people who are crawling in the officialdom are even more unpredictable." Chu Yunfei smiled bitterly and shook his head, he had the same feeling. It doesn't matter what kind of person Sunan is, the important thing is that he has an excuse to enter the palace openly, and he can also see Ling Shuang. Thinking of this, he suddenly asked a question that even he felt inexplicable: "Do you think Ling Shuang will be very polite to Sunan?" She has always disliked dealing with people in officialdom. ”

Mei Yingxue was stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "Really?" I thought Sunan knew how to please the county lord. It's just that the county lord's temperament is sometimes too cold. ”

Chu Yunfei didn't say anything more. He needed to think quietly, what else was waiting for him to do? Is there really no news about the relics? No way! Madame Xiang still has the trump card in her hand, and her last words are obviously threatening them! And it seems to be hinting that she has clues in her hands, as for whether to say it or not, it depends on whether she is happy or not. Now that she is begging her, who can be sure that she will open her mouth? Chu Yunfei felt like a stone had been pressed in his heart. Perhaps, it's time to take a break, such as a quiet sleep.

However, the news brought by Ye Huan made Chu Yunfei uneasy again: he found Mei's traces again, and she appeared in the most undesirable place - Mrs. Xiang's house.

"Are you sure?" Chu Yunfei didn't seem to be too surprised, he had a hunch that things might not be so simple.

Ye Huan nodded very seriously: "That's right, I saw her go there with my own eyes, and after about half an hour, she left in a carriage." They...... It won't have anything to do with Baihualou, right? Or are they ......?"

"It's not surprising that Mrs. Xiang has anything to do with Baihualou. Have you forgotten that Baihualou is a gold cave, and doing business with them must be a very cost-effective deal. Chu Yun raised his eyebrows, very sure of his judgment.

Ye Huan thought seriously for a while, and only said for a long time: "In this way, things may be more complicated than we imagined, right?" I always feel ...... Things shouldn't be so complicated. So what to do? Do you want me to arrest her and ask for clarification? ”

"What do you think you can know from her?" Chu Yunfei couldn't help but sigh, Mei's cunning character, coupled with Ye Huan's original pity, might be self-defeating. "Follow her, but don't startle the snake, I have to think about it, think about it seriously."

Just when Chu Yunfei began to think about the whole thing, a fire was spreading in the palace. The fire started in a firewood house, but fortunately it was discovered early, so only four or five rooms were damaged. After the fire was extinguished, Chu Yunfei, who got the news, hurried over.

Ling Shuang looked at all this with a frown, her arms wrapped, obviously she was a little frightened. Pan stood behind her, not saying anything, just pulling the cloak that slipped off her shoulders from time to time. It wasn't until Chu Yunfei arrived that Ling Shuang, who had always looked calm, leaned towards Chu Yunfei and cried loudly with a "wow". Pan Shi was stunned for a moment, but she quickly ordered everyone to leave, leaving only Ling Shuang and Chu Yunfei.

Lord Lingshuang must have been frightened, according to her character, it was impossible for her to lose her temper like this! Therefore, it is conceivable that things are far more troublesome than Chu Yunfei imagined! Chu Yunfei felt that his head was getting bigger, and it was not easy for Ling Shuang to calm down before he began to ask how things happened.

Ling Shuang shook her head with tears in her eyes, "I don't know what happened, and I don't know who I offended. I don't know why things are the way they are, why there are rumors like this. But there's really nothing they want here, so why can't they just let us go? ”

The torment in the past few days has made Ling Shuang's emotions on the verge of collapse, and this time the fire incident obviously touched her heart. Chu Yunfei could only try to calm her down.

"I know, I understand what you're saying." Ling Shuang barely stopped her tears, she brushed her somewhat loose hair, and shook her head: "Relic, isn't that relic?" As I said a long time ago, there can't be one here, and there won't be one in the palace. These rumors ...... Where did it come from? What do they want to do? ”

"Those rumors didn't come out of nowhere." Pan Shi suddenly appeared, her expression was very serious, she looked at Ling Shuang and said, "There are some things that the county lord doesn't know, so let me talk about it seriously with Gongzi Chu, right?" Please go back and have a good rest first. I'll take care of this matter. ”

Ling Shuang glanced at Pan Shi coquettishly, and saw that she didn't mean to let go, so she had to leave. At this time, Chu Yunfei was even more puzzled, as the county lord, why did Ling Shuang obey the Pan family so much? Is it just because she grew up with her?

Pan sat down in front of Chu Yunfei, with a somewhat inviolable and noble expression on his face, and said lightly: "Those people will not be willing, I have long guessed that they will do whatever it takes, but I never expected that they would dare to set fire here." In the past few days, she has ...... I mean, the county lord, has been unable to sleep. She looked strong, but today's fire had put her on the verge of complete collapse. About the Relic ...... Regarding the relics, what clues did Gongzi Chu find? ”

Chu Yunfei shook his head: "There are constant rumors, but there are not many valuable things. I guess that the matter of the relics should be related to Mrs. Xiang, but unfortunately she is ...... now is also in trouble, and if you want something from her, I'm afraid you'll have to exchange something for it. I don't know what Madame has to say? ”

"I don't dare to give advice. It's not been a day or two since Yang Xiang'er coveted relics! She's a wicked woman, and she's not going to sit idly by, and I think she's hoping something will happen to us. Pan Shi looked at Chu Yunfei, frowned for a long time before continuing: "I know she won't be willing, but I don't know...... What is happening now, how much has she been mixed in. ”
