Volume I, Chapter 10

When Qi Shan was less than a foot away from the figure, she found that the figure was a woman, and she should be dressed as a young lady in the house, but she had her back to her and couldn't see her face clearly.

Just when she was puzzled, a woman's voice came: Dad, when you left, it was less than seven hundred and forty-nine days, and they held a banquet in the front hall to celebrate her mother's birthday, don't you say it's ridiculous. Not only that, they also wronged Xue Lang for killing you, and now Yin Lang is imprisoned on death row, and he will be beheaded after the autumn. Dad, if you know something, help me find out the murderer, Dad...

"Meow... A sudden meow interrupted the woman's next words.

The woman turned around suddenly, her wet eyes happened to catch a glimpse of Ji Shan, and she couldn't help but be stunned, and trotted forward in a panic.

Qi Shan was even more curious, and when she wanted to catch up and find out, the white cat that made a cry jumped suddenly, took the jade pendant from her waist, and ran in the other direction.

Qi Shan looked in the direction where the cat was running, and then looked at the back of the woman leaving, her eyes narrowed, and she turned back to follow the direction of the cat.

Because the jade pendant is not Qi Shan's personal property, but once in order to catch the gangster, Xuan Yi gave her a certificate to move the rescuers, and when he wanted to return him, he said: Let you go. Seeing that Qi Shan looked flattered, he left another sentence: in order to be prepared.

Ji Shan followed behind the white cat, I don't know how long she chased it, she really couldn't run, she could only pause, hold her chest, pant for breath, and rest for a while. But the white cat also stopped, glanced back at Ji Shan with dark eyes, jumped into a house in front of him, and then disappeared without a trace like lightning.

She looked up at a wooden plaque above the house.

"Livable Pavilion", Qi Shan read, and strode in.

This is a very large house, the entrance is a zigzag verandah, through the corridor, is a courtyard, the courtyard is surrounded by green willows, the road is connected, and the mountains and stones are dotted. On all sides of the courtyard are several houses, each with white marble pillars at the four corners, and the walls around it are all carved from white stone bricks, and the orchids carved from gold bloom charmingly among the white stones, and the blue curtains ripple in the wind. Qi Shan was originally from a large family, so she naturally knew that this was the place where the owner of the Lin Mansion lived and lived every day.

At this time, she stood in such a luxurious courtyard, worried and didn't know where to start.

"Meow... Qi Shan turned around suddenly, only to see the cat still holding a jade pendant in its mouth, squatting outside the door of a room in the corridor. Holding her breath, she tiptoed over, afraid to scare her away at the slightest movement. But just as she was a step away from it, the white cat meowed again and ran away, only this time the white cat left her jade pendant in place.

Qi Shan hurriedly ran over to pick up the jade pendant, and finally felt relieved. When he turned around and was about to leave, suddenly a strange sound came from the room, the sound was gradual, coming and going, and Qi Shan's heart trembled inexplicably, feeling very uncomfortable. She Nunu mouthed, and when she was about to step forward to find out, a strong palm was on her shoulder, she turned back sharply, and shouted: Xuan...

Before the words came out, they were blocked by the folding fan in Xuanyi's hand.

Xuan Yi also seemed to hear the inexplicable cry, Jun frowned, glanced at the door, and hurried away with Ji Shan.

Back in the other garden, Qi Shan broke free of Xuan Yi's hand and looked at him puzzled.

Xuanyi pursed his lips and said nothing, sitting at the table, picking up a cup of tea and drinking it.

He asked, "Brother Xuanyi, why didn't you go in and find out just now?"

Xuan Yi spread out the folding fan in his hand and replied lightly: It's just two wild cats barking inside, what is there to explore?

"Two wild cats?" Ji Shan muttered, twisting her pretty eyebrows as if thinking about something?

For a moment, her eyebrows moved, and she said innocently: No, I only saw one cat, how did it become two? And the cat didn't look like a wild cat at all, but more like a domestic cat from a certain family.

"Flutter... , The tea in Xuanyi's mouth suddenly squirted out.

Seeing this, Qi Shan hurriedly took out a handkerchief, and asked while helping him wipe it: Brother Xuanyi, are you okay, are you drinking too much?

Xuan Yi waved his hand, and was about to say something, but saw Jiu Drunk push the door and walk in.

And as soon as Jiu Zui saw Xuanyi's appearance, he felt strange: Apprentice, why do you look like this, and ah, I heard wild cats and wild cats from afar, were you scared by wild cats, where are wild cats, ah! Where is it?

"There are no wild cats here, you have to look for them in the Livable Pavilion." Qi Shan pursed the corners of her lips and said to Jiu Zui.

"Livable Pavilion? What the hell is going on", Jiu Zui asked with a puzzled face.

Here's the thing, Ji Shan described what had just happened to Jiu Zui.

After listening to this, Jiu Zui smiled evilly and threw an intriguing look at Xuanyi, while Xuanyi raised the folding fan and fanned it awkwardly.

Suddenly, Jiu Drunk couldn't hold it back any longer, laughed, and asked Ji Shan: I said Sister Ruoshan, how do you know that the cry in that room is from a wild cat?

Ji Shan was dumbfounded for a while, in fact, she was not sure, she had only heard cats bark since she was a child, but she had never heard the barking of wild cats. So he pointed at Xuanyi and said: This is what Brother Xuanyi said.

Jiu Zui glanced back at Xuan Yi with bad intentions, and continued to laugh and said: Qi Shan, some things are too clear, and they may be more explicit, so they use some metaphors, just like apprentices, understand?

Ji Shan looked at Xuanyi with a blank face, looked at Xuanyi, and then looked at Jiu Drunk, and shook his head in confusion.

Jiu drunk looked like he hated iron but not steel, and said loudly: In fact, there is no wild cat in it at all, but 。。。。。。。。。。

"Alright, Ji Shan, it's not too early, it's time to go back to the room and rest." Xuan Yi suddenly got up and directly interrupted Jiu Zui's words.

Qi Shan's eyes narrowed, although she was a little reluctant, but she knew that Xuan Yi deliberately wanted to break up herself, so she obediently went back to the room.

After she went out, Jiu Zui sneered and said: This sister Ji Shan is really simple, what a wild cat, but apprentice, it is really enough to have you, since you used such a metaphor, then again, why don't you let me tell her to make it clear, she will suffer if she marries someone in the future. As he spoke, his eyes wrinkled into a line, and he obviously looked extremely worried.

"Okay, Nine Drunk, didn't you say you just went to make it easier? Why did it take so long to come back?" Xuanyi directly changed the subject.

Jiu Drunk turned around, sat on the wooden chair with his ass, and said mysteriously: Let me tell you, in the so-called so-called time in your mouth, I heard three secrets?

"Oh? What secret? Xuan Yi's eyes widened, waiting for Jiu Drunk's answer.

The corners of Jiu Zui's mouth raised, and he said with a smile: The first secret is that I heard that the head forester of this Lin Mansion passed away a month ago.

"What, you mean that a month ago, but the seven and forty-nine days have not arrived, how can Mrs. Lin hold a banquet to celebrate her birthday?" Xuan Yi asked incredulously.

Jiu Zui shook his head heavily, and continued: This second secret is also related to Master Lin's death, it is said that Master Lin was stabbed to death by his own quasi-aunt, and this quasi-aunt has also been sentenced to beheading.

"Why did this prospective son-in-law kill his father-in-law?" Xuan Yi waved the folding fan and groaned.

"I don't know, I also listened to the guests of the Lin Mansion in front of the latrine, but what I don't understand is that only a month after the death of this Master Lin, this Mrs. Lin held a banquet to celebrate her birthday, and none of them looked like they had just lost their relatives."

Xuan Yi was also puzzled: Have you noticed that at today's banquet, there are two people missing, one is the eldest lady of the Lin family, and the other is the father-in-law of the young lady Lin, the eldest brother of Lin Xiao, and the eldest young master of the Lin Mansion.

"I asked about the eldest young master of this Lin Mansion, he has been plagued by illness since he was a child, his body is weak, and he can't go out, as for this eldest lady, you said, your future husband killed his own father, how can he still be in the mood to show up."

"Maybe, by the way, what's this third secret?" , Xuan Yi pondered for a while, and continued to ask.

"This third secret, haha..." Jiu drunk pretended to be very mysterious, rubbed in front of Xuanyi, and raised his voice: The emperor is about to marry a wife...

"Flutter... The tea in Xuanyi's mouth squirted out again, just falling on Jiu Zui's face.

Jiu Zui was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and grabbed a handful of tea, and complained: I said what are you doing here, it is the emperor who marries his wife, and it is not you who marries his wife, what are you excited about, you you...

"I。。。。。 , by the way, I don't know which girl the emperor has a crush on?" Xuanyi didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he could only find an excuse to hide his embarrassment.

Jiu was drunk but said with a burst of disgust: I said you are stupid, you still don't admit it, is it okay for the emperor to marry a girl who just likes it? Let me tell you, this emperor, marrying a wife, in fact, is also a draft, first from all over the country to pay tribute to the beauties to the capital, and then by the central government of the internal affairs of the country to select, the posture is beautiful, the legal appearance, carry back the harem, depending on whether it is possible, is to use the emperor.

"Yes, yes, yes, or the nine drunken master knows a lot, but the news of the emperor's marriage today is also heard from the toilet? Xuan Yi couldn't help but ask with an eyebrow.

"Hmm." Jiu Zui nodded honestly.

After listening to this, Xuan Yi laughed, walked out of the hall door smoothly, and said loudly: As the saying goes, gossip is not enough to believe...

Jiu Zui looked at his departing Junying, and said to himself: As the saying goes, there is no wind in the air, hum!

In the early morning, a soft ray of sunlight shines through the paper window and shines on the people on the bed.

Qi Shan opened her eyes slightly, and when she got up from the bed, she suddenly felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen, only to see her frowning, and muttering: Time is really fast, a month will pass again, and as she spoke, she got out of bed and found a set of clean clothes to change into.
