"Qi Rui's father......"

The north courtyard of the Qi family is very quiet, Mu Siyue walked all the way, and did not find the servant, the yard was full of messy weeds, the gate was closed, and it seemed that no one had come over for a while.

Looking around cautiously, he took out the old key and clicked, and the big lock was opened.

Mu Siyue quickly dodged and got in, the key was stolen from the housekeeper, while the housekeeper took care of the child, he slipped into the housekeeper's tent and took the key to the north courtyard, hoping that they would not find out so quickly.

"What's going on?"

The villa in the north courtyard is similar to the bureau in the east courtyard, and Mu Siyue just wanted to enter the master bedroom, but stopped when she passed the door of the study.

The study was in a mess, the trophies on the ground, the documents and pens, and the old calculators were all shattered, Mu Siyue frowned, and looked around.

"Qi Rui smashed it?" No one will come to the North Courtyard except him, "Why did he destroy his father's study...... Hate? ”

Mu Siyue looked at this messy study, and a strong hatred rose in her heart.

"Qi Rui really hates his father so much?"

Squatting down, his fingers touched the cluttered papers on the floor, a thin layer of dust, "It looks like these things have been smashed for at least half a year." ”

Full of doubts, "Why was he so angry at that time?" ”

Mu Siyue has naturally seen Qi Rui's angry appearance, but Qi Rui usually controls his emotions, and he can scare people away with a cold voice, and when he is most dissatisfied, he may be so angry that he drops his mobile phone.

…… But it's messy like this, but it's kind of frenetic.

Exiting the study, he walked towards the master bedroom next door.

Unscrew the door, the door lock should have been too long to open some rust, at a glance it looks very spacious, the big bed, sofa furniture are covered with white cloth, the window is locked, the air is a little dead and dull.

A bedroom where a dead man once lived.

Mu Siyue had not come into contact with Qi Rui's father, only knew that his name was Qi Nanyuan, and this dead man's bedroom was not so gloomy for her, so she walked in curiously, and her eyes fell on a photo frame on the bedside table first.

"It seems that he is a very nostalgic and family-oriented person."

On the photo frame, the old man Qi is very young, and the woman beside him should be the deceased grandmother, surrounded by the five daughters of the old man Qi and Qi Nanyuan, this is a family photo.

Looking up at a pair of wedding photos on the central wall of the big bed in this bedroom, Mo Xiangwan was dressed in a beautiful white gauze and leaned against Qi Nanyuan's chest, and the two looked very affectionate.

Qi Nanyuan is handsome and elegant, and there is a calm and indifferent affinity between his eyebrows, "No wonder Old Man Qi complains all day long that Qi Rui doesn't look like his father......"

This bedroom is very tidy, there are not many furnishings on display, maybe Qi Nanyuan was buried after his death, but Mu Siyue always felt that something was wrong.

She rummaged through the wardrobe curiously, because Qi Rui's feelings for his father were very complicated, and Mu Siyue wanted to know more about Qi Nanyuan's life before his death.

"What is this?"

There is a dark cabinet under a modular table in the center of the small sofa in the bedroom, and I just pulled out the cabinet but looked at a brick-sized intricately carved rosewood box, the precious rosewood has been some age, the wood is black and bright, with a small gold lock, it seems that there is something very important in it.

Mu Siyue looked surprised, and carefully took out the rosewood box, her eyes staring at the intricate carved patterns, "It's Manzhu Sawa ......"

Seeing this exquisite carved pattern clearly, there was an inexplicable chill in her heart, and Mu Siyue held the rosewood box and trembled unconsciously.

What bad luck!

"What flower is not carved, but carved Manzhu Sahua...... "Manzhu Sahua, also known as the other side flower, this is a dead man's flower!"

"What the hell is in here?"

Mu Siyue was even more curious, but the precious rosewood box had a golden lock, and Mu Siyue didn't dare to forcibly pry it open, turning over the box and looking at it carefully.

"Why is Qi Nanyuan hiding this thing here, what is in it......" In a low voice, Mu Siyue shook his hand.

Looking at the back of the box in shock, someone wrote two words with a pen in red ink, Ai'er.

"This ......" Mu Siyue felt a chill in her back.

"Normal people don't know how to write with a red brush, but the bright red characters are written on this precious black and bright rosewood, which is as ...... as a spirit card."

Mu Siyue was shocked, and hurriedly put the precious rosewood box back to its original position.

But when she lowered her eyes, she looked at the bottom of the cabinet and there was a yellowed photo, took out the photo, glanced at it, and frowned, "This is a photo of a newborn baby?" ”

"Who is this?" Look at the lower right corner of this yellowed photo, where there is a small note on the time of the photo, "28 years ago photo ......"

"This little baby is Qi Rui?"

Mu Siyue was thinking about it, and suddenly there was the sound of eager footsteps outside the door, and the footsteps quickly approached, echoing throughout the corridor...... She was startled, and her hands were at a loss for a moment as she packed the rosewood box.

Looking around, there is already a figure walking in on the other side of the door, oops!

"How did this master bedroom door open?" A strange and simple male voice sounded in the room.

At the moment when the man stepped into the room, Mu Siyue lifted the white cloth on the small sofa behind him, and his body quickly hidden, holding his breath nervously.

Oh my God, praying that the other party doesn't walk in again, or he'll definitely notice something unusual.

"The white cloth on the sofa in the bedroom seems to be shaking......" The other voice walked straight towards Mu Siyue with curiosity.

Mu Siyue panicked in her heart, damn, that person saw it from such a distance......

What to do now, damn it, isn't there no servant in this North Courtyard, how can it be so unlucky!

I jumped out directly to explain, but how to explain, if I broke into the North Courtyard privately, Old Man Qi and Qi Rui would be very dissatisfied.

Just as Mu Siyue was thinking, another older maid reached out and grabbed another curious young man, "Don't go in, this is the bedroom where our master lived before his death, and we can't enter at will." ”

As far as the eye can see, this spacious and luxurious bedroom, all the furniture is covered with white cloth, because the windows have been closed for many years, so the air is full of dust, and there is a dull and dead silence.

“…… The white cloth over there really fluttered a little just now. The young man seemed to be a little afraid of the dead man's room, and his steps unconsciously retreated, but his eyes were still firmly fixed in the direction of Mu Siyue.

"Otherwise, let's talk to the butler, and the downstairs door was unlocked when we came in, if someone came in with bad intentions to steal something......"

"Don't say it!" The older man yelled at him.

"That's probably because you're wrong, and I don't think there's anything else." The maid didn't dare to look directly, and was casually perfunctory.

"Xiao Chen, if you want to work well in the Qi family, don't worry about the affairs of this North Courtyard, especially Rui Shao, don't mention it to him, you will be dismissed, and if you are unlucky, you will be beaten and thrown out...... The downstairs door of the north courtyard is not locked, and I have encountered it several times, and Rui Shao often came over without closing the door before. ”

The other party listened to the elders' lessons, and asked curiously in a low voice, "Is it Rui Shao that the study next door is so messy?" I thought it was a thief. ”

"Come on, ordinary people in our Qi family can't get in, and even if they steal, they won't come to the North Courtyard......"

As he spoke, the maid turned to look at the study and muttered, "Rui Shao came over on the night of the Lantern Festival this year and smashed the master's study in a big rage...... In short, the North Courtyard is special and doesn't know anything. ”

Finally, the two men glanced at the gloomy room and quickly locked the door.

Mu Siyue lifted the white cloth, got out of the small sofa, and let out a long breath, "Fortunately, they are too timid to come in......"

But when his eyes fell on this locked dead man's bedroom, his heart couldn't help but shudder.

Get out of here!

Because the layout of the villa in the north courtyard is the same as the architectural pattern of the east courtyard where she lives now, Mu Siyue is also quite familiar, and directly opened the large glass door and walked to the balcony, carefully climbing the water pipe of the wall, and sliding down the water pipe.

looked around at no one, and immediately ran away.

"Why do you act like a thief, what's that in your hand?"

Just when Mu Siyue hurriedly ran back to the East Courtyard with a look, she happened to meet Mo Xiangwan in the hall of the East Courtyard.

Hearing Mo Xiangwan ask about the things in her hand, Mu Siyue suddenly came back to her senses, and the photo on her right hand was almost crumpled and yellowed by her, "No, it's nothing." She clutched the picture behind her and smiled reluctantly.

"There are no rules, it's rude for people to see your appearance......" Mo Xiangwan taught her a lesson, as if he didn't want to talk to her more, turned around and left directly.

"I was so nervous just now that I actually brought this photo out......" Mu Siyue saw Mo Xiangwan leaving, raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the north courtyard, and her heart was cold, "If I don't know, I don't want to go back to that gloomy place." ”

Mu Siyue heard the words of the maid just now, he said that Qi Rui was furious when he went to Qi Nanyuan's study on the night of the Lantern Festival this year, and looked down at the photo of the baby 28 years ago in his hand again, and his heart was a little blocked inexplicably.

"This year's Lantern Festival ......" she muttered as she thought as she walked, paused in her footsteps, and her face was shocked, "This year's Lantern Festival is the fifteenth day of my premature birth!" ”

"Qi Rui, I want to ask you ......"

Mu Siyue thought about it for an afternoon, and finally couldn't hold it back, and decided to call him to ask for clarification.

"It's a meeting, I'm not going home for dinner tonight......" Qi Rui didn't give her a chance to speak, as if she was busy, so she hung up her phone.

Mu Siyue was used to his busyness and ignored himself, sat cross-legged on the bed, suddenly his face was solemn, his lips were pursed, he quickly grabbed his bag, and hid this old photo.

This matter can't be mentioned to Qi Rui for the time being, he has always been sensitive to his father's affairs, maybe he can ask Old Man Qi about the rosewood box and this photo......

But it backfired, and the next day Mu Siyue returned to the company in a gloomy manner, and last night she hinted at asking Old Man Qi about Qi Nanyuan, but there was no clue.

Maybe even Old Man Qi didn't know that there was such a carved weird Manzhu Sahua rosewood box that had been hidden in the master bedroom of the north courtyard.

What's inside a rosewood box?
