Ye Qing was surprised, "Listen to the voice and distinguish people? ”

Fangcao's consistent Mu Ne, "only the second young master in the Zhiguo Mansion can run."

Ye Qingshu was speechless, this is true, she had already known about the wooden man's intentions, so she asked Fangcao to invite her to a while.

As soon as Zhi Qiyi saw her fiddling with the wooden figure with a dagger, he suddenly became energetic, and he also shouted to practice, he was taller than Ye Qingshu, and his movements were much more flexible.

Ye Qingshu looked at him enviously, and he became more energetic, laughing at Ye Qingshu for being stupid, and practicing more energetically.

The two hid in the room for an afternoon, and when they ate dinner, their arms were sore, their hands were still faintly shaking, and they couldn't hold chopsticks steadily.

Shu Shi asked a few words, but he didn't say anything, Ye Qingshu didn't say a word, and a few elders were just two villains and they were tossing some new things, so they didn't take it to heart, but Zhi Qihua looked at the two of them a few more times.

After dinner, Ye Qingshu followed Ye Qingling to the Peony Garden to learn the piano, and signaled her to continue practicing at night several times with her eyes, but Ye Qingshu ignored her, and angrily began to call Ye Augly again.

Ye Qingshu ignored him, followed Ye Qingling to the Peony Garden, and entered the study, Ye Qingshu opened his mouth and asked, "Eldest sister, why don't you see the peony?" ”

Ye Qingling must be waiting on the side when she goes in and out of the peony, just like the herb is to her, but today it has always been the lily following, she thought that Ye Qingling sent the peony to clean up in the peony garden, but she didn't want to enter the peony garden and didn't see the peony.

"Peony is not feeling well, I asked her to come back in two days when she is better."

Ye Qingshu's eyes moved, and he followed Ye Qingling to learn the piano for an hour as usual, and said to Du Juan as soon as he came out of the Peony Garden, "Send someone back to the house, let Fang Yuan keep an eye on the peony, and then let Fang Yue pay attention to the movements in the peony compound."

She only brought the cuckoo, Fangcao, and Fangfei to the Zhiguo Mansion this time, but Fang Yuan stayed in the Ye Mansion.

Du Juan responded, and sent a little girl to Yefu early the next morning to report the news.

There was no movement that day, and the next afternoon, the porter came to report that there was a little girl in the Ye Mansion who came to give Ye Qingshu the jewelry she often wore, but it was Fangyue.

Ye Qingshu was left behind, and ordered Fangyue to be brought to Baoxia, and he hurried with Fangcao.

Fang Yue is a teenager, with a round face and baby fat, small eyes, and a very curvy smile with a very flattering appearance.

Fang Yue knelt down when she saw Ye Qingshu, "Fang Yue greets the girl."

"Get up and speak".

Fang Yue thanked her, stood up, sat on the little horse brought by Fangcao, and said crisply, "Girl, Sister Fang Yuan sent a slave to tell the girl that Sister Peony said at noon today that she was greedy and asked someone to buy chestnut candy, and went to Jiaomen, and if there was really a mother-in-law who gave Sister Peony a box, Sister Peony gave her some broken silver."

"Only that mother-in-law is not our mother-in-law in Yefu, and the slave and maid don't know it, so I went to ask the little maid guarding the door, and the little maid who guarded the door said that the mother-in-law was Sister Peony's aunt, and she often sent some food to Sister Peony, and they could smell the sweetness in the box from afar."

The slave maid carefully asked Sister Peony's aunt when she started to send candy to Sister Peony and how often, but they didn't remember it very clearly, only that it was about the end of last year."

"When they first came, they also privately said that Sister Peony had a good aunt, and she came to give her food on such a cold day, and then she could often see her, but the time was uncertain, sometimes it was once every three or five days, and sometimes it was ten days and half a month."

Shortly after last year?

Ye Qingshu thought about it, but the time was too long, and she didn't care about anything when she was a child, where could she have thought that there was anything unusual at that time?

"What does that box look like?"

Fang Yue gestured, "About the length and width of a palm, it is the most ordinary rattan box, you can buy one for a penny on the street, the slave also saw that the box was brown Shache paper for sugar, Sister Fang Yuan pretended to inadvertently touch Sister Peony, Sister Peony also opened the box and took a piece of chestnut candy for Sister Fang Yuan to eat."

Ye Qingshu thought for a while, and then said, "Go back and inquire carefully about the people in Peony's family, who you usually have more contact with, and what is the abnormal situation, especially the aunt, and then find the woman who waits for the eldest girl to go out, and inquire about where the eldest girl has been and who she has seen, especially at the beginning of last year."

Fang Yue retreated, and Ye Qingshu called the cuckoo again and asked about the movement of the Peony Garden, but there was nothing abnormal.

The changes back then, even if the prince was worried, it must be because Ye Qingling had a hole to exploit, but the East Palace Flower Viewing Banquet was about to start, but she still didn't find any clues!

The more Ye Qingshu thought about it, the more headache he felt, so he simply continued to tie up the wooden figure with Zhi Qiyi.

At dinner time, news came from Yefu that Peony fled to the capital when she was eight years old, and most of her relatives died on the way to escape, leaving only an aunt to rely on.

After arriving in the capital, her aunt sold her to Ya Po in order to save her life, and Ya Po sold her to Ye Mansion.

Peony has a good relationship with her aunt, and after being Ye Qingling's eldest maid, she asked her aunt to quit her job and rent a small yard for her aunt to care for the elderly.

As for Ye Qingling, because of the strict rules of the Pang family, she rarely goes out, and she remembers very clearly with the car woman, she only served Ye Qingling out of the door four times last year, once to go to the East Palace to enjoy the flower banquet, once to the Zhiguo Mansion, once to the mansion of Miss Lang of the Ministry of War, who was friendly with Ye Qingling, and once to go to the Qixia Temple outside the city to incense.

Fang Yue said this, thought about it and said, "Girl, the eldest girl has always rarely gone out, and she remembers it very clearly with the car woman, but the slave and maid remember that the girls in the house have to go with the old lady to see the lights every year on the Yuan Festival, but the car lady does not need to follow."

Ye Qingling nodded, thought carefully for a while, and ordered, "It's late today, you go to Peony's aunt early tomorrow morning to see if she is the same person as the mother-in-law who delivered the box."

Fang Yue should be, Ye Qingling instructed Du Juan to give a reward and sent her away.

Early the next morning, Ye Qingshu received news that the peony had entered the Zhiguo Mansion, Ye Qingshu was walking in the yard, and Fangcao said that if he walked more, his body would be stronger and his strength would increase.

She walked back and forth in the yard whenever she had free time these days, listening to the movements, and said in a deep voice, "Du Juan, go find a competent person, and think about checking the things that the peony brought in, Fang Fei, serve me to comb my hair and change clothes."

The cuckoo took the order and left, and came back about two quarters of an hour later and said, "Girl, the peony only carried a burden, and the slave and maid found someone to bump her, and the bag only contained some clothes and other things for daily washing, nothing abnormal, and the mother-in-law who hit her also took the opportunity to touch a few handfuls on her, and there was nothing abnormal."

Nothing unusual? An "uncomfortable" maid hurriedly came to the Zhiguo Mansion the day after meeting her aunt, which was abnormal in itself!

"Let's go to the Peony Garden".
