Although he asked so, when he walked to Duan Qiqing's side, he still spread out his right hand.

Duan Qiqing lowered his eyes and saw something held in the palm of his hand by Cheng Yi.

It's like a simple ring, but because of the blood, the color looks dark.

But even so, you can still see that the ring is extraordinary.

Cheng Yi also said lightly at this time: "I found it in Xiaoshui's room, and it cannot be ruled out that it was left by Young Master Gu."

That ring looks extraordinary, and the person who can possess it must have a high status, and it is indeed possible that it was left by that Young Master Gu.

It's just that after Duan Qiqing glanced at it a few times, he vetoed it very decisively, "No! He can't wear this ring."

Not to mention that Young Master Gu's body is bloated, and his five fingers are as fat as pig's trotters, just looking at the diameter of the ring, the owner of this ring must have a pair of slender and extremely good-looking hands.

Cheng Yi listened, and his eyes returned to the ring in his palm, and he immediately nodded with some approval.

But if it weren't for Young Master Gu's words, then who would have taken Xiao Shui's corpse?

As early as when he found the ring that had fallen in the corner, he suspected that it was the person who had taken Xiao Shui's body away.

As for the purpose of the person who took the body, he also did not know.

After a moment of silence, Duan Qiqing put away the thoughts in his mind, raised his lips slightly, and said, "Let's go first!" Put this on beforehand."

Hearing this, Cheng Yi also retracted his five fingers.

But just as the three of them walked out of the courtyard, Duan Qiqing stopped Yan He.

Yan He frowned a little suspiciously, but heard the other party say, "You stay!"

As soon as he heard these three words, Yan He's black eyes, which were still a little puzzled, instantly became a little anxious.

This is in the assessment field, how can he rest assured that his sister will go to that forest by herself?

But before he could say no, Duan Qiqing said again, "I have something for you to do, and only if you go, I can rest assured."

Her eyes were very serious, and she didn't look like she was joking at all.

Seeing this, Yan He's brows became more and more frowned.

He also knew very well in his heart that he would definitely be left behind, so he said with some resignation, "When I finish this, I will go to you as soon as possible."

Duan Qiqing raised a smile: "Yes." Immediately, she also glanced at Cheng Yi beside her.

The latter also walked a little farther away, and stopped a sweeping maid in front to guide them.

When he saw Duan Qiqing walking towards him again, Cheng Yi asked, "What is this asking him to do?"

Duan Qiqing's eyebrows were crooked, and he smiled toothlessly: "Oh! It's nothing, just let him go and give Young Master Gu a big gift."

Cheng Yi looked at the other party's demeanor, and he was also quite puzzled in his heart.

This is so decent, why do you want to give Young Master Gu a big gift?

Do you really think you're here to drink the wine?

Duan Qiqing also saw the doubts hidden in the other party's dark eyes, and suddenly said nonchalantly, "You'll know later."

After speaking, she also asked the sweeping maid to take them to the gate of Gu's mansion.

Although Cheng Yi didn't know what the other party meant, he didn't dwell on it anymore.

By the time the two of them arrived at the gate of the Gu Mansion, it had already been more than ten minutes later.

Gu Yicheng, who had been waiting at the gate of the Gu Mansion for a while, looked stunned when he saw Duan Qiqing and the others who were pressed back.

But soon, as if he hadn't noticed anything, he silently turned around and led the way.

Only when everyone couldn't see his face, did he raise his lips slightly......

Seeing this, a man who was following Liang Mingyi couldn't help but ask softly, "Brother Liang! This steward...... You can't be going with us to the woods, right?"

He had already planned it, and as long as he followed out of the Gu Mansion for a while, he would slip away

Take shelter in the town.

What kind of forest outside the town, he won't go?

But now that he sees that the butler will also go with him, won't his plan to sneak into the town to avoid the limelight be ruined?

Liang Mingyi didn't say anything, but it could be seen from his face that he was also a little shocked by the housekeeper's behavior of going together.

But shock is shock, and he is actually more wary in his heart.

This time to look for a dowry in the woods outside the town will definitely be extremely risky.

The people present also all paid attention to the housekeeper, so naturally no one noticed that there was one less person next to Duan Qiqing.

*

It takes nearly half an hour to get from the town to the forest.

But because there were a few people who tried to sneak into the town on the way, trying to avoid going to the forest, but all of them were caught by the housekeeper.

So it led to their journey, which took more than an hour to arrive.

This includes Yu Shuting and the man next to Liang Mingyi.

So when he was arrested, the man couldn't help but complain beside Liang Mingyi: "I knew that this housekeeper was here to escort us."

It's like the officers and soldiers of ancient times escorting exiled prisoners.

Yu Shuting's escape plan failed, and her face was naturally not much better.

Especially when she saw the forest that almost cost her her life, her body couldn't help but tremble faintly.

If it weren't for Mu Huai by her side, I'm afraid she would have fallen long ago.

Lan Lan looked at the familiar surroundings, and her dark eyes were full of fear.

Then!

"Boom-"

A pitch-black crow passed directly over everyone's heads.

When the fluttering wings brought up the leaves in the forest, it also made the originally silent and frightening forest have a lot of "rustling" sound of leaves rubbing.

It's just that this sudden sound still scared a lot of people.

Lan Lan sat directly on the ground, hugged Yu Shuting's thighs tightly with both hands, and cried, "Sister Yu! Sister Yu, help!"

Liu Nuannuan subconsciously hugged Meng Lang's arm, after all, the other party was the closest to him.

Although Yu Qian was also frightened and turned pale, she did not force herself to calm down with only her remaining consciousness like these two people.

Duan Qiqing walked at the end of the line, looking at these people calmly.

Cheng Yi beside him, his face obviously turned a little pale.

But he wasn't scared, but because he was too vigilant.

Duan Qiqing also noticed his face.

After thinking about it, she asked out loud, "This assessment should have been more than fourteen of us, right?"

Cheng Yi's attention was always around, so after hearing the person next to him ask, his expression was obviously stunned.

After a while, it dawned on him......
