Night is falling.

Probably, it is because the characteristics of Chengyang County are antiques, and the light at night is not better than that during the day, and it is easy to make mistakes in distinguishing the real from the fake, so it has just been dark for a while, and there are no people on the street.

But this also happened to be convenient for Xiao Tingyi and Ye Qingli.

So, after eating, after a little rest, the two changed into night clothes and headed towards the Wang family's house.

Before they came, they had already determined the location in advance, so it was not too difficult to find.

Because Wang Yumian's reputation is not small, and the place where he lives can be regarded as a relatively good area in the entire Chengyang County.

There was already some dust on the wide door, but the two did not push the door in, but directly climbed over the wall.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it landed, it was a big surprise.

It stands to reason that after Wang Yumian's death, there was no one here, but the house that had been idle for so many years was not dirty or messy at all, and even extremely tidy.

The two glanced at each other, seeing caution in each other's eyes.

This royal mansion may be even more surprising than they imagined.

The two walked cautiously, preparing to go to Wang Yumian's room to take a look first, this is still easy to find, as the owner of the house, the residence is naturally in the main courtyard.

But unexpectedly, after approaching, the two found that the lights were on in the main courtyard.

This......

To enter, or not to enter?

However, before they could weigh up, the door of the house opened.

'Squeak' –

Although the person who opened the door moved very lightly, it was still incomparably clear in the silence of the night.

Ye Qingli saw that it was an old man, who was already old, and walked out slowly and stopped at the door.

The light in the room stretched his shadow very long, and his beard was white, and he was slightly hunchbacked, but his eyes were extremely peaceful, and he smiled slightly, "You are here." ”

At this moment, it was Ye Qingli and Xiao Tingyi's turn to be stunned.

Could it be that he had expected them to come back here? The accidents in the Wang family's house are really wave after wave.

"Excuse me......"

Although Ye Qingli was wearing a night suit and also masked, the old man nodded with a smile and asked, "Miss Qingli, right?" ”

It's just that Ye Qingli didn't dare to answer rashly, and Xiao Tingyi asked quietly, "Dare to ask who you are?" ”

"I'm just a butler."

The old man smiled, turned around and entered the door, "Come in, it's cold outside, I'll tell you everything you want to know." ”

The two hesitated, but followed into the door.

However, they will be cautious.

"Sit down."

The old man sat down slowly and said, "Miss Qingli, the old slave has been waiting for you for twenty years. ”

This year, Ye Qingli is just twenty years old, and the year Ye Qingli was born, after Mrs. Ye died of a blood collapse, Wang Yumian also died of grief soon.

In other words, the old man has been waiting for her to come since then?

It's also incredible.

It's just that when he thought of what connection he might have with his master Song Yi, Ye Qingli felt that everything was possible.

"What do you call it?"

Although Ye Qingli and Xiao Tingyi sat down, they did not take off their face towels.

And the old man didn't mind, just replied with a smile, "The old slave's name is Wang Yuan, if the young lady doesn't dislike it, you can call the old slave Uncle Yuan." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Qingli again and sighed, "It's really like." ”

Ye Qingli couldn't help but wonder, and Uncle Yuan said again, "Miss doesn't know, your eyes are exactly the same as your mother's eyes." ”

It seemed that he was afraid that Ye Qingli would not believe him, so Uncle Yuan got up again, went to the cabinet slowly, and turned out a rolled, well-preserved painting scroll.

As soon as she opened it, Ye Qingli saw a graceful beauty.

This is Ye Qingli's mother.

Xiao Tingyi looked at her, then at the painting, and nodded, "It's indeed very similar." ”

Not only the eyes, but also the appearance, there is a high degree of similarity.

In an instant, Ye Qingli may have understood why Ye Hong hated this daughter so much.

He killed his wife with his own hands, but as a result, he still has a daughter who looks very similar to his wife, and it is estimated that every time he looks at it, his heart is furious.

It seems that she has not seen the portrait of Mrs. Ye anywhere in the Shilang Mansion.

"Uncle Yuan."

Ye Qingli thought about it, took off the face towel with his hand, and was about to say something, but saw Uncle Yuan burst into tears in an instant, his lips trembled, and he whimpered lowly.

Some cloudy eyes and crystal tears intertwined, which made Ye Qingli's heart feel a little uncomfortable.

She seemed to hear a voice in her heart saying, please don't let him be sad anymore.

"Miss Kiyori."

Uncle Yuan wiped his tears and said in a hoarse voice, "The old slave knows what you are here for." ”

"You know?"

Ye Qingli was surprised for a moment, and then relieved.

If you don't know, how can you stay here and wait for twenty years?

And Uncle Yuan just knocked on the table and said, "Master told me to insist until you come, otherwise, I will not die." ”

Ye Qingli was also sad inexplicably, "Grandpa ...... him"

This is probably the original feelings of the body, but it just makes her very uncomfortable.

Neither she nor the original Ye Qingli had ever seen this grandfather, but based on Uncle Yuan's actions, he was probably a very kind and upright person, right?

Otherwise, how could he marry a poor boy according to his daughter's wishes, not to mention, but also pay out of his own pocket to make a relationship for him, and after hearing the bad news of his daughter, he was heartbroken, so that he died with regret.

"The master said that there is one thing that must be handed over to Miss Qingli, and this is a promise he made with a certain friend."

As soon as Uncle Yuan's words fell, Ye Qingli's heart suddenly jumped.

That friend, is that talking about Master?

Xiao Tingyi was on the side, he didn't say much from beginning to end, just sat with her, in his opinion, this was Ye Qingli's family matter, and if he rashly intervened, it was likely to cause Uncle Yuan's disgust and dissatisfaction.

So he listened quietly to them, and then looked at the table.

And Uncle Yuan looked at him and asked kindly, "This must be Miss Qingli's husband, right?" ”

Since it was said, Xiao Tingyi didn't pretend to be confused, so he also took off his towel and solemnly introduced himself, "Under Xiao Tingyi." ”

"Oh!"

Uncle Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "It's His Royal Highness the Lawless Idle King!" ”

After finishing speaking, he laughed a little embarrassedly, "People can't look good, and hearing and seeing are not necessarily true, the prince's courage is definitely not a thing in the pool." ”

And Xiao Tingyi just nodded, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

This is also Ye Qingli's mother's family, so he must behave well and not embarrass Ye Qingli, otherwise, what if he is obstructed?

Ye Qingli really didn't expect what he was thinking at the moment, he just said, "Uncle Yuan, the prince also has to do it." ”

"Yes, yes."

Uncle Yuan looked at Xiao Tingyi happily, and nodded again, "Miss Qingli has her own opinions, and the person she chooses will definitely not be wrong." ”

How did you know that I was forced to marry him?

Ye Qingli secretly slandered in his heart.

Xiao Tingyi was more happy, and said, "Uncle Yuan, I will definitely take good care of her, please rest assured." ”

He was very cautious, and he didn't even need to claim himself, but in Uncle Yuan's opinion, it was a very polite way to treat people, and his praise for him skyrocketed by several standards.

'Buzz'!

The humming of the trembling blades suddenly resounded in the silent night.

"Wang Yuan, isn't it time to hit the road when your wish is fulfilled!"

A manic voice suddenly came from outside, which made Ye Qingli and Xiao Tingyi both nervous, and then they both put on their face towels.

"Huh."

Uncle Yuan just chuckled, stood up on the table, and said, "You may have to leave a little later." ”

The implication is that I can't solve the person outside, and I'm afraid I can't leave with my things.

Ye Qingli nodded, glad in his heart, fortunately, Uncle Yuan hadn't handed over the things to them just now, otherwise, while fighting, he was guarding the things, and he was supposed to be distracted.

The three of them went out and found a burly black-faced man standing in the courtyard, carrying a large knife on his shoulder, with three rings hanging on the head of the knife, which was blown by the night wind and clanked.

If he is armed with two plate axes, he will be Li Kui alive.

"This must be our Miss Qingli, right?"

The black-faced man smiled arrogantly, "First time we met, in Xia Shen Ao, please take care of the young lady!" ”

Ye Qingli didn't answer him, but wondered in his heart, why did he know his name?

"Hehe, Miss Qingli, hand over the things and spare your life."

Shen Ao was still smiling arrogantly, with a big white tooth and a dark face, forming a stark contrast, Ye Qingli suddenly understood that he was also here for the Boundless Seal.

It's just that what is the relationship between this Shen Ao and Uncle Yuan?

"Miss, you have to kill him."

Uncle Yuan said lightly, his tone was calm, as if to say that the moon was not very good tonight.

Ye Qingli was surprised that Uncle Yuan's state at this time was different from just now, while Xiao Tingyi had already taken the lead, and the long sword in his hand also shone with cold light, colliding fiercely with the big sword.

Although Shen Ao is strong, he is not slow and stupid, and his knife skills are exquisite, and he is inseparable from Xiao Tingyi.

"Good skills."

Uncle Yuan watched their fight and nodded with satisfaction.

Such a person has the capital to protect Miss.

But as soon as the words fell, two more people suddenly ran out from all around, one was about forty years old, dressed like a teacher, and an iron brush and brush in his hand were ruthlessly wiped towards Xiao Tingyi's neck.

The other is a heroic woman, who should be about thirty years old, and she also uses a small silver sword to make trouble for Xiao Tingyi.

Two fists are no match for four hands.

Xiao Tingyi's skills are naturally not weak, but the martial arts of these three people are also very strong, if Xiao Tingyi can still be handy with one enemy and two monks, then if there is one more sneak attack, it will be a little difficult.

Ye Qingli looked at it, slightly anxious.

She was worried about Uncle Yuan's safety, and she didn't dare to go into battle rashly to help, and Xiao Tingyi asked with a smile while parrying, "Do you have anyone else?" ”
