Chapter 174 Concealment
For Mrs. Tian, who has always been steady in speaking and doing things, and is the backbone of the Tian family, why did there be such a mistake?
Is it because she can't confirm the truth of Tian Botai's words, so she is in a hurry to come over to check it?
Is it because she can't bear the blow of losing Tian Botai, and she can't mentally act like a normal person, and what she does is out of the ordinary?
Or did she have something else hidden that forced her to wait to get her hands on the jade pendant?
Whatever the reason, Liu Ling was surprised by Mrs. Tian's frizziness.
Tian Botai's study is very large, which not only has books, bamboo slips, but also many antiques.
Judging from the delicate wooden shelves where many antiques are placed, and there is a special sign placed on each antique, you can see that those antiques are worth a lot of money.
Mrs. Tian spent an hour and almost the entire study, still not finding what she wanted to see.
She fell to the ground panting, leaning against the wooden frame, her face full of indignation, and one hand pounded hard to the ground.
Liu Ling outside the window, even though he was far away, could hear Mrs. Tian making a violent 'bang' when she hit the ground.
Hong Yi was startled, hid behind Liu Ling, and whispered: "Young lady, why is this Mrs. Tian so angry, scared the slave to death." ”
Liu Ling nuzzled his mouth: "Probably because I didn't find anything in the land, I felt extremely depressed, so I wanted to vent the anger in my heart." ”
"What the hell are you looking for? The slave doesn't look like gold or silver, otherwise, Mrs. Tian wouldn't have looked for it in the books. The slave guessed that it could not be a treasure map, right? After Hong Yi finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his words were a little out of the sky, and he smirked silently.
……
Mrs. Tian stood up and glanced at everything in the study again, thinking back to Tian Botai's words last night, he only told her that the location of the jade pendant was the study.
But after looking for so long, I haven't found half a shadow, I don't know if Tian Botai deceived her, or if there is another hidden place in the location of the jade pendant?
Mrs. Tian's eyebrows furrowed!
If Tian Botai had a hidden dark room, and now he had rummaged through the entire study, it would be impossible to find the location of the mechanism.
Mrs. Tian not only secretly blamed herself, but she was happy to hear the hiding place of the jade pendant for a while, but she actually forgot the specific location of the jade pendant.
This is a small oversight, but what is missing is the most crucial.
According to Tian Botai's character, he shouldn't be a liar, just like last night, he can completely shut up and not say it, since he says it, it will definitely be the truth.
Can...... Nothing, how to explain it?
Now, if you rummage through it again, I'm afraid it's dawn, and the guards of the Third Division and the Military Department will definitely find out her whereabouts.
Remove!
Mrs. Tian didn't dare to think about it, even if she blew out the candles, turned around and walked out of the room, locked the door, and ran all the way.
Liu Ling and Hong Yi followed closely behind, but finally lost it.
Liu Ling pulled Hong Yi and hurriedly climbed the willow tree again, and saw that the east wing where Mrs. Tian lived had been lit by candlelight, so he was relieved.
Obviously, Mrs. Tian was not wandering anywhere else, and had already gone back to her room to rest.
Hong Yinu was puzzled: "Young lady, Mrs. Tian is over fifty, why is she so vigorous and powerful, even us young people are ashamed of ourselves, the slave guesses that Mrs. Tian will definitely do martial arts." ”
Tian Botai and his six children can all do martial arts, and it is normal for Mrs. Tian to know some punches and kicks.
Liu Ling didn't care, but there was one point, why didn't Mrs. Tian tell her six children about the jade pendant?
From the fact that she went into the study at night, she could conclude that she had not told anyone, and that she was worried that her children would know.
This old lady is always suspicious of what she does, if she finds Tian Botai's jade pendant, what does she want to do next?
At this time, Liu Ling was desperately thirsting for the secret behind the jade pendant.
……
Liu Ling, who was meditating, grabbed the wrist of the tree branch, and suddenly felt a tingling pain, as if something had smashed over.
Liu Ling looked down and couldn't help but be shocked that there was a shadowy black shadow under the tree.
"Hey, what are you doing climbing so high, it's hard for me to find it." Xu Yun whispered.
"It's the eldest prince, great!" As soon as Hong heard Xu Yundi's voice, he almost didn't scream, as if a huge backer had come.
is probably in a state of mind like a thief with Liu Ling, which makes Hong Yi unable to find a sense of security.
Liu Ling let out a long breath, and there was a false alarm: "Aren't you guarding the spirit, how did you come out?" ”
"Can you come down and talk to me, don't you see my neck hurts?" Xu Yun twisted her stiff neck, and suddenly felt much soothed.
When Liu Ling and Hong slid to the ground, Xu Yun hurriedly draped the cloak on his arm on Liu Ling's shoulder: "Isn't this a little warmer?" ”
I was really flattered by Xu Yun's sudden warmth, but seeing that Hong Yi's small body was still trembling, he quickly put the other half of the cloak on Hong Yi's body.
Hongyi was grateful: "Thank you, young lady!" Thank you, young lady! ”
"Don't thank me, I'm just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." Liu Ling turned his face to Xu Yun, "It's so late, you won't just give me a cloak, right?" ”
"yes, what do you think?"
Liu Ling gave all the cloak to Hong Yi, took Xu Yun's hand and left.
Hong Yi was surprised: "Young lady, where are you going?" This cloak is given to the slave maid, isn't the young lady cold? ”
"I'm not cold, I have something to tell your eldest son, come back soon, you hurry up and climb to the tree, it's safer to go up."
"Oh, the slave knows." Hongyi reluctantly responded, puzzled.
I really don't know what is going on with her, the young lady, and she has to be so careful that she is afraid that she will hear it, and deliberately drag the eldest prince away from her?
……
In fact, Liu Ling was not simply afraid of Hongyi hearing it, after all, it was too close to the Xuan Courtyard, and the guards were not far away, so if he was not careful, he might have ears on the wall.
I finally found an extremely hidden place, but the light was a little dim, and the other party's shadow was very blurred.
Luckily, it's a narrow cul-de-sac flanked by the back walls of the house.
"Let's talk about it right here." Liu Ling let Xu Yun's body stick to the wall, and she faced Xu Yun, ready to start talking about all the anomalies she had seen in Tianfu.
"Wait." Xu Yun put her hand on Liu Ling's mouth, "How many hours do you want to tell me?" ”
What do you mean?
Liu Ling was surprised, he hadn't opened his mouth yet, so he was impatient?
Although he couldn't see Xu Yun's expression clearly, Liu Ling seemed to feel Xu Yun's irritability: "Don't you want to listen to me?" ”
"No, I'm just ......" Xu Yun's words stopped.
"Just what? Do you want to hurry to your knotted wife? A wave of jealousy in Liu Ling's heart swelled up.
