Chapter 11: Double Tracking(11)

Madame Bailing reversed the mild norm and pressed in front of the door of the secret room, her intuition was extremely strong: Shi Yu was here. Sishuang just wanted to send her away and leave quickly.

The maid Xiaocui dragged a few maids in the Lingxiang Pavilion: "You guys, hurry up and open the door." ”

Hearing the commotion in the pavilion, my mother also hurriedly ran over to see the situation: "Oops, it turned out to be Mrs. Bailing." Are you here to listen to a little song? Then you're in the wrong place, come on, please come into the box, and I'll arrange the music for you to enjoy. ”

Xiao Cui sneered: "Don't pretend to be stupid. My wife wants to listen to the tune, so she needs to come to your smoky Lingxiang Pavilion? Which one of you sings better than my wife? It's ridiculous. ”

The old mother hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, what the girl said." What advice does the lady have for coming here? Look at the lack of ventilation and light here, it is not good for your noble body to stay here. Come, come with me, let's find a spacious box, what do you want, just tell me. The distinguished guests from Jun'an City must be well entertained. ”

Xiao Cui pointed to the door of the secret room: "We're going to open it and see what's inside." ”

My mother looked embarrassed: "This ...... Oh, ma'am, what else could be in this? The beams on this mezzanine are so low that no one wants to come in, it has been vacant for many years, and it is full of dust. Come, I'll bring you a pot of Jinfeng Yulu tea, it's delicious, and you like it. ”

Mrs. Bailing said lightly: "Madam, please forgive us for breaking into the pavilion without permission." There really is a reason for this. I just want to trouble you to open this secret room, take a look and go. If, as you said, this is an abandoned house, then it is not difficult to open the door for me to see, and if there is someone inside, I have no intention of disturbing it, just to look at it from a distance. ”

My mother listened and complained bitterly. As soon as Mrs. Bailing saw it, she had six or seven points that Ye Shiyu was behind the door, and she insisted on checking it clearly, since no one opened the door, she didn't mind doing it herself.

Just as Lady Bailing's hand pressed the door of the secret chamber and looked around for the mechanism, the door opened from the inside.

"How are you...... Qibei? Mrs. Bailing, who was blocked at the door, was stunned.

Qi Bei's face was pale, his eyes were either drooping or offset, in short, he didn't dare to look at her. Xiao Xiao followed behind, carefully taking care of Qi Bei's every move.

Madame Bailing couldn't care so much, and stretched her neck to look into the secret room: "I'm going to go in and have a look, please let me go." ”

"There's nothing in there."

Mrs. Bailing didn't believe it, and her tone increased: "I want to go in." Please get out of the way. ”

Qi Bei didn't say a word and turned sideways to give way.

Qi Bei's concession made her feel very strange. For a moment, she didn't know whether to enter or not. But since there was no one to stop her, she simply didn't think much about it, and hurriedly rushed in to take a look, only to see that although the furnishings in the house were not as gorgeous and luxurious as the private room outside, they were also very elegant, and the beams on the mezzanine were indeed not high, a little depressing, but they were smoked with fresh spices, and there was no lack of small windows for ventilation, which was a very quiet place.

She walked around inside, and there was nothing unusual in the secret room except for Sishuang, Qiu Yue, and the two cups of herbal tea placed on the table.

Is it - miscalculated?

Lady Bailing felt a chill down her spine. She was very unwilling, and looked around again. There is indeed no Shi Yu in the house. Could it be that the lark's report is not accurate at all? I really can't figure it out.

Except for Mrs. Bailing, everyone dared not breathe, and they all watched her quickly search all the places where people could be hidden, from the table to the back of the screen, even the clean and tidy bed and the high curtains.

Xiao Cui leaned into Mrs. Bailing's ear and whispered, "Xiao Cui didn't find anything either. Is it true that the adults are not here? ”

Mrs. Bailing looked at Sishuang suspiciously, then at Qi Bei, and thought: These two are likely to collude together.

As soon as this thought came out, she was displeased, and she was even more determined to find out what the two were plotting. She walked quickly to the bedside, whistled, called the lark who had just heard the news, muttered and asked, the bird was very psychic, followed the instructions of Mrs. Bailing, spread its wings and circled in the secret room, but somehow, soon revealed obvious confusion, and the search was fruitless, so she had to stop on the shoulder of Mrs. Bailing, tilting her head, puzzled.

"Really...... Isn't it? ”

"Gollum ......"

Lady Bailing's eyes immediately dimmed.

In order to find Ye Shiyu, the desperate momentum suddenly disappeared.

Sishuang, Qi Bei, Xiao Sha, and many people in the Lingxiang Pavilion all stared at her silently, as if she was the only one messing around abnormally and restlessly.

"Original...... It's the Golden Crow Divine Envoy and Miss Sishuang inside. She hurriedly smiled, "I thought there was a ...... in this It's abrupt, I'm really sorry. ”

"Madame said something. It was indeed me who invited the Golden Crow Divine Envoy to the secret room to talk about important matters. I don't know why Madame is so anxious? Can Sishuang help? Sishuang picked the best time to speak. Of course, her tone has always been soft, and she can't hear the slightest tone of blame, but the more she makes a gesture of retreat, the more she puts Mrs. Bailing at a disadvantage because of her aggressive search.

This is the end of the matter, and it is useless to stay longer. Lady Bailing couldn't find a place to go down the stairs, and quickly left with Xiao Cui and a sense of shame all over her body. Fortunately, the rescue arrived at this moment: news came from Taishi Mansion that Mrs. Taishi had died, and Master Taishi planned to officially give Miss Xin to Mrs. Bailing, and she would take her back to Jun'an City to raise her, and now he is sending people around to look for her. Mrs. Bailing took the opportunity to leave the Lingxiang Pavilion without looking back, and kept thanking God in her heart.

Qi Bei didn't say a word, turned around and looked at another secret door in the secret room, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Shiyu was there.

The locked door of the secret room ensures that no one breaks in.

Qi Bei pushed away Sishuang, who was blocking him and thanked him repeatedly, and walked straight to Ye Shiyu. At this moment, Qi Bei no longer has the anger and impulse just now. Ye Shiyu, who was sick and seriously injured, was punched a few times, and there were bruises on his face, but he was obviously in a good mood, because there was no one to stop him from going to sea. Ye Shiyu looked at Qi Bei lightly, waiting for him to speak first.

"If what you just said is true," Suddenly, Qi Bei felt that the noble prince who had made him feel inferior and afraid, the imperial official of Jun'an City, and the husband recognized by Lady Bailing, but that's it, "Then you'd better go to sea quickly and never appear in front of her again." ”

--------

Xiao Xiao silently guarded Qi Bei's side.

The earth-shaking change he experienced just now made Qi Bei's mind dizzy and uncomfortable. Although he came to Zuixian Mansion and ordered his favorite meal, Qi Bei had no appetite at all, so he curled up and silently picked a corner to sit, always staring at the table in a daze, and his mind was all elsewhere.
