Qi Hui naturally couldn't smell it, he didn't know much more about the Mu family than Xiangxiang, he only knew that the Mu family was a century-old family and the first person in the art of mechanism, and if it was deeper, there was no way to know.

Mother doesn't often mention her mother's family, maybe it's a pain for her, and Pang Jun can't tell him everything, as for others, it's even more secretive. Everything about the Mu family is like the legend that they disappeared overnight, and it has become the most mysterious topic.

After Xiangxiang came to the cold palace, it was not the first time to see Xi Niang, Xi Niang has been used to using incense and fat powder for many years, and Xiang Xiang is familiar. I didn't notice anything unusual tonight, and the last time I returned from the Closed Moon Pavilion, Niangniang didn't have such a reaction, not to mention that Qi Hui had been there countless times, and this kind of "aroma" had never appeared.

She thought about today's events carefully, and said: "Since Niangniang said that you are very light, it will not be the Prime Minister's Mansion, I have been in Xi Niang's house, it must be the fragrance contaminated in the Closed Moon Pavilion, Xi Niang has left me for half an hour, is it the high roller who spent a thousand taels of gold left?" ”

Qi Hui bowed: "From the things that appeared before, to the suspiciousness of his surname, and now that my mother has discovered this unique fragrance of the family, if everything can really be strung together, it should be that the people of the Mu family are back." ”

Xiangxiang said: "But that person is too strange, on the one hand, he squandered gold and silver, making it known to everyone, and on the other hand, he mysteriously did not reveal his identity, tonight he came to the Closed Moon Pavilion, whether he inadvertently left a fragrance, or deliberately left a fragrance, I don't know." ”

"You straightened things out in a while, why are you so smart?" Qi Hui didn't seem to be excited about the appearance of the Mu family, but Xiangxiang's cleverness made him very happy, and Xiangxiang suddenly brightened up, and whispered nervously, "I bumped into him that day, but Niangniang didn't find that there was a fragrance on my body, maybe ordinary people can't detect it like this, but Niangniang couldn't be keen." In this way, he didn't bring this aroma with him that time, and this time he either came with the aroma specifically, or he had been to a place with this aroma. ”

Qi Hui looked at Xiang Xiang curiously, she looked nervous, as serious as her own business, he couldn't help but reach out and pat Xiang Xiang on the forehead, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, this matter is not in a hurry, they have disappeared for twenty years, it is impossible for them to appear suddenly, although everything shows that the Mu family appeared, what if it is a trap?" We have to wait and see what happens, didn't Xi Niang say that person is leaving, if it is really the Mu family, he left clues before leaving, maybe he wanted to tell me and my mother their existence, but since they are leaving, there must be a reason why they can't appear yet, we don't need to dig deeper. ”

Xiangxiang frowned, as if his enthusiasm had suddenly been extinguished, he was a little dazed, and asked, "Then what should I do next?" ”

Qi Hui said calmly: "When they come to us, they need to give my mother an explanation, as for me, it doesn't matter so much." ”

"Then I'll listen to you." Xiangxiang tilted his head and laughed at himself, "yes, I'm blind and nervous, but I can't actually do anything." ”

Qi Hui said: "You are already very powerful. ”

Xiangxiang saw that he was praised, and couldn't help but smile proudly, his eyebrows were crooked and very cute, but the bottom of his heart suddenly floated over what she had agreed with Xi Niang, and his face sank slightly, and this small change did not escape Qi Hui's eyes, he asked with concern: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiangxiang settled down and said seriously: "I have something I want to talk to you about, forget it tonight, you will be very busy for the affairs of the Mo family, you will be free in a few days, let's wait for the mother to rest, can we talk for a while?" ”

Qi Yan was puzzled: "What's the matter, so serious?" ”

"It's important, about both of us." Xiang Xiang smiled with a resolute mind, and he had the confidence to speak, and patted his forehead like Qi Hui, "I'm going to sleep, you accompany Niangniang, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Xiangxiang quickly disappeared into the night, although Qi Hui was full of curiosity, but Xiangxiang was so confident and cheerful, he felt that it would not be too bad, she took the initiative to see Xi Niang tonight, she must have discussed with Xi Niang about this, his sister is the most reliable person, he is more at ease.

A peaceful night, at dawn, the days in the cold palace are still like that, Qi Hui took a short rest, after eating something, he was about to leave, Shi Feng was sick, and some things of the Mo family had to be dealt with by him and Jian Feng. Concubine Xian and Xiangxiang are accustomed to it, but Concubine Xian, who woke up today and said a few words to her son, has calmed down, when Xiangxiang fed her medicine, she said guiltily: "Child, did I scare you last night?" ”

Xiangxiang shook his head: "If my family suddenly comes to me, I don't know what will happen, I will probably be very angry and angry, hating why they left me behind." ”

Concubine Xian was full of comfort: "You are such a good boy. ”

And Xiangxiang mustered up the courage to tell Concubine Xian about her decision first, she still remembered Niangniang's insistence, and she felt that Niangniang would definitely be able to understand her mind.

At the same time, Qi Hui had already left the palace to join Jian Feng, they needed to deal with the aftermath of the Mo family, and take away the innocent children as much as possible, and Shi Feng wanted Qi Hui to convey his apologies to Jian Fu, but Jian Feng smiled and said: "Our family didn't hear anything, is my cousin being bullied?" ”

Hearing that Shi Feng was drunk and lying outside his cousin's bedroom window, he laughed and calculated that he would laugh at Shi Feng next time, but he came back to his senses and said: "My cousin is full of knowledge, my grandfather has praised her, if the eldest lady of the Pang family is so bad, it is a pity." ”

In Pang Mansion, the eldest lady's daily homework is very tight. I have to get up before dawn, three hours in the morning, a little rest, two hours in the afternoon, and five hours a day to behave properly, and face to face with the expressionless Shen Yan, I am going crazy. She thought about pretending to be sick, but Pang Jun gave an order, saying that she was sick and let the slave hold it, and she had to go to class honestly, but Shen Yan said that she didn't have to work so hard, she could go to the young lady's bed to give a lecture, and she was forced to hang herself.

On the same day, the sound of books in the study was still the same, Shen Yan sat in front of the desk, silently reciting the article she was going to talk about today, but her seat was empty, and Pang Qianyou did not sit there honestly and listen to the lecture. She took a peacock feather from the vase, sat on the windowsill and teased the cat, glancing at Shen Yan from time to time, and to her the soft chanting was like a spell.

At this time, there was a cat running outside the window, the house of Pangfu was very large, it was inevitable that wild cats would sneak in, Mrs. Pang did not let her raise, Qianyou often secretly fed them around the boudoir, at this moment I saw a little milk cat running in, happily lying on the windowsill and reaching out to grab it, half of her body leaned out, if it was unfortunate it would fall out, in order to control the balance, it was very indecent to kick the legs behind her, and this scene all fell in the eyes of Pang Shifeng, who had just walked in the door.

"What are you doing?" Shifeng scolded, and Qianyou was frightened and almost fell out, but fortunately, her brother came over in time and dragged her into the windowsill.

When Shen Yan saw someone coming, she got up, Shifeng was about to reprimand her sister, but when she saw Shen Yan, she immediately restrained her temper and said respectfully and gently: "Mr. Shen, I was ridiculous after drinking the day before yesterday, and I disturbed Mr. Shen, I am really guilty. Yesterday, I couldn't come to apologize to Mr. in time due to illness, and I would like to ask you Haihan. ”

Shen Yan owed, and before she could speak, she had already hummed: "Brother, you are in your own home, why do you disturb others?" This is my boudoir, and it doesn't matter if you sleep here. ”

Shi Feng's complexion was not very good, he shook his head and sighed, and said to Shen Yan again: "Sister is stubborn, Mr. is tired." ”

Shen Yan said gently: "It's just that the maid didn't scream lightly and disturbed the people in the house, this should have been a trivial matter, but it caused trouble to the adult's wife and son, and I also invited Pang Gongzi Haihan." She looked at her and smiled, "As for the eldest lady, she is lively and smart, so why should she be tired." ”

"Is it interesting that you talk so pretending to be for a long time?" Brother, you're not sick, go back and rest, I still have classes here. She ran to Shifeng domineeringly, still holding the little milk cat in her arms, "Don't talk nonsense in front of your father, aren't we good here, Mr. Shen doesn't say that I'm not good, what are you fooling around?" I'm naughty, you're fine? ”

Shi Feng is angry, he knows his sister's temper, quarreling is not interesting, but he admires Shen Yan's self-cultivation, maybe he can really restrain his sister by overcoming rigidity with softness. He didn't pay attention to Qianyou anymore and politely said goodbye to Shen Yan, but when he walked out of the door, he saw the maid waiting with something in his hand, and remembered it again, and hurriedly sent in a set of four treasures in the study, and said politely: "Apologize, if Mr. accepts it, I will be at ease." ”

After Shen Yanqian gave a few words, she politely accepted it, and Shifeng was immediately relieved, and he left his sister's boudoir, already refreshed. Outside the courtyard gate, his little maid was waiting here because it was inconvenient to enter the young lady's boudoir, and when he saw the third young master coming out, he hurriedly followed, and asked in a sly manner: "Does the master see clearly, they all say that Mr. Shen is like a fairy." ”

Shi Feng was stupid, he didn't seem to take a closer look at Shen Yan's appearance, recalling everything just now, only to realize that he didn't dare to look at Shen Yan directly. Out of guilt for the absurdity of the previous time, or out of respect for Mr. Shen Yan's identity, he politely did not look directly at the woman's face, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that he has done a good job.

But the little guy was chattering on the side: "I heard that it is the granddaughter of the old marquis Jian, and she is still not married in her twenties, how can a fairy-like person not be married." ”

Shi Feng kicked him on the ass and scolded: "No more mouths, cut your tongue, people are the gentlemen invited by my father, you have eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard one by one?" If there is any disrespectful word coming out, I will peel you first. Saying that, he had a dizziness on his head, he really just had a fever, and he hadn't recovered yet, so he helped the little guy back to the room, but along the way, he was thinking that he couldn't go out for the past two days, and Qi Hui could be thoughtful there.

But when he went to the room to rest, his subordinates hurried back and told Shifeng that the young master of Hengfeng Qianzhuang they had been staring at was gone, and they had followed him all the way to the outside of the capital last night, but they lost people after a long time.
