The primrose birds chirped on the branches of the budding trees, the gray flower beds in the courtyard showed the buds, and the servants and maidservants in the Canglan Zhai were also busy.

"San Niangzi, do you really want to do this?"

Inside the house, Wuwu put on a light dress for Lou Yunxiao.

"Why did my mother suddenly reconcile with my father back then, why didn't she choose to remarry and choose to become a monk, obviously she has a good year but wants to be accompanied by the green lantern ancient Buddha for a long time, there must be a hidden secret."

Lou Yunxiao straightened her clothes in front of the bronze mirror, and continued: "Maybe there are clues in my father's study, it just so happens that my father went to Zhao Mansion today, this is a godsend, I must go and investigate it myself." ”

Under the corridor outside the door, Xia Lan held a broom and listened to the conversation between the master and servant clearly with his ears sideways.

After a while, Lou Yunxiao walked out in a blue begonia skirt, and deliberately said loudly: "Don't worry, it's good spring today, let's go for a walk in the garden." ”

Xia Lan naturally knew what they were going to do, and as soon as the master and servant left, Xia Lan immediately pretended to have a stomachache, and followed her out of Canglan Zhai.

The layout of the mansion was not complicated, but there were many corridors, and Xia Lan quietly kept a distance of about twenty steps behind them. However, Lou Yunxiao's steps were extremely fast, and there were many forks in the road, so he lost it in the blink of an eye.

"By the way, they said they were going to the lord's study." Xia Lan calmed down when she thought of this, and hurriedly walked to the study.

But when she walked to the door of the study, she didn't see Lou Yunxiao and Wuwu's figure, and the door of the study that was closed on weekdays was also open, just when she was puzzled, there was a strange sound in the study, Xia Lan cautiously leaned half of her body in, and looked at the place where the movement came from.

At this time, Carefree had quietly stood behind her, aimed at her hips, and flew up. Xia Lan screamed and fell in, and before she could react, a handkerchief covered her mouth and nose, and she passed out.

Lou Yunxiao stood up, put away her handkerchief and clapped her hands.

"Worry-free, well done!"

Worry-free smiled back, and his heart was indescribably comfortable.

Lou Qihuai's return home on weekdays is about half an hour before dinner, Lou Yunxiao calculated the time, and the drug she made was just enough for Xia Lan to regain consciousness when Lou Qihuai returned home, and she dragged Xia Lan into the hidden place of the study with Wuwu.

Then wait for the way back to Lou Qihuai as if nothing happened.

About half an hour later, Lou Qi returned to the mansion with two scrolls in his arms.

"Slim?" Under the twilight, Lou Qihuai looked at Lou Yunxiao sitting in the pavilion in a trance, once Xian'er also loved to wear a blue begonia skirt, she was so bright and beautiful, tender like water, but unfortunately......

"Father, you're back." Lou Yunxiao put down the scroll and got up and walked in front of Lou Qihuai.

"Xiao'er, why are you here?" Lou Qihuai's expression returned to normal, but there was still a sense of loss hidden in his eyes.

"Brother Chunqiu told me before the spring that he had two good thrush inks for my father, but originally one of them was for me, but Zhengde didn't even read it and sent it to my father."

"It turned out that I came to ask for something for my father, I heard Yi'er say that you go to Fuguangxuan every day to study and learn calligraphy is very hard, and your father has never had time to visit you when he is busy with official business over the years, and he is very pleased to see that you are now dignified and decent, and he is very pleased to be a father." Lou Qihuai said as he walked in the direction of the study.

It was the first time that the father and daughter walked side by side like this, and although it was not very warm, it also narrowed the distance between them slightly.

As he walked to the door of the study, there was a noise inside, Lou Qihuai's face suddenly darkened, and as soon as he entered the door, he bumped into Xia Lan, who looked panicked.

"You, who are you? How dare you sneak around in my study? Say! What are you here for! Lou Qihuai scolded.

Xia Lan was so frightened that she took two steps back and knelt down, "Lord, the maid is Xia Lan in the courtyard of the third lady." ”

Lou Qihuai looked at Lou Yunxiao vigilantly when he heard this, "Xiao'er, is she your maidservant?" ”

"Back to my father, Xia Lan seems to be a person in Xiao'er's yard. However, Xiao'er hasn't seen this girl a few times, when she assigned the yard and servants, her mother did it, and Xiao'er didn't know what the identity of these people was. Lou Yunxiao said innocently.

"Okay, our Lou family is also a thief, someone is coming! Invite the housewife to come to the study! Lou Qihuai was even more angry, flicked his sleeves and sat on the chair behind the bookcase.

Half an hour later, Fu Yuewei hurried over, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Xia Lan kneeling on the ground, and her heart chuckled.

"Huailang, why don't you go to dinner?" Fu Yuewei turned her head to see Lou Yunxiao, and said with a smirk: "Xiao girl is also there." ”

Lou Yunxiao stood up and saluted respectfully, "Good mother." ”

"Yuewei, look, do you recognize this person?"

"Isn't this the person in the yard of the girl? Did she do something? Fu Yuewei pretended to be calm and said.

Lou Qihuai told Fu Yuewei what had just happened, and the anger in his eyes did not diminish at all.

"I never asked about the inner house, I always believed that you could take care of it in an orderly manner, but now there are such silverfish in the inner house, Yuewei, this is the person you carefully selected!"

Fu Yuewei was so frightened that her body softened, and she sat on the chair next to her, Lou Qihuai had been married to her for several years, and she had never been so fierce.

"I arranged for her to go to Canglanzhai to be on duty, but she has been serving Xiao Yatou, it is hard to guarantee that Xiao Yatou did not instruct her to steal, how can Huai Lang decide that it is my fault based on this alone?"

"So, mother and Xia Lan are not familiar with each other?" Lou Yunxiao asked rhetorically with a calm expression.

"Naturally! She is a member of your courtyard, and now that she has made a mistake, she must have nothing to do with you! Fu Yuewei seized the breakthrough and bit Lou Yunxiao to death.

Lou Yunxiao heard this and said to Xia Lan: "Xia Lan, tell your father, why did you come to the study today?" ”

"Yes, it's because ......" Xia Lan knelt and hung her head, how dare she tell the truth, she could only lie: "It was the third lady who asked the maid to steal things about Chu Niangzi, and all this was instructed by the third lady." ”

"Huai Lang can hear it, Xia Lan was instructed by Lou Yunxiao!" Fu Yuewei hurriedly agreed.

"If you say that you were instructed by me, have I done you any favor? Otherwise, you have only been here to serve me for a few months, so why would you risk your life for me? As long as you can show the evidence, I will admit it! Lou Yunxiao was not in a hurry, and even took a sip of tea.

Xia Lan hurriedly fumbled around her body, and then took out a crystal clear jade pendant and said, "This is the evidence that the third lady gave to the maid!" ”

Lou Yunxiao chuckled, "Father Mingjian, everyone in the Lou Mansion knows that I have no long things, and even the clothes I am wearing are given by my grandfather and brother, not to mention the above-grade jade pendant to buy a maid?" ”

Lou Qihuai was ashamed when he said this, he knew that he had treated Lou Yunxiao badly all these years, and if he still wronged her now, then he would be a father in vain.

"Xia Lan, let me ask you again, who instructed you? If you still refuse to tell the truth, then I will take you to Dali Temple for interrogation! ”

Xia Lan was so frightened that her soul was about to fly, she collapsed on the ground like resignation, and choked up: "Lord, no one instructs the servant, it is the servant who has lost his mind, please spare me." ”

"If you don't want to say this, is the person who instructed you to be from the court?" Lou Yunxiao looked surprised, and said to Lou Qihuai: "Father, you must not spare Xia Lan, she is afraid that she is not used to seeing the meticulous work of Gao Sheng's father's political enemies in our mansion!" ”

At this moment, Cui Hu broke in, knelt beside Xia Lan, and burst into tears.

"Lord, Xia Lan is by no means a small work! She is the old woman's niece, and it was the old woman who hated the third lady because of the last punishment, so she secretly sent Xia Lan to Canglan Zhai, monitoring the third lady's every move, looking for an opportunity to frame the third lady, all of which was done by the old woman alone. ”

"It's you!" Lou Qihuai was furious, "In addition to monitoring and framing the three ladies, what else have you done?" Let's talk about it together! ”

"Also, Da Langjun's injury was also done by the old woman, it was Da Langjun who punished the old woman in the first place, and the old woman did these foolish things because she was resentful." Cui Hu knew that he couldn't hide, so he simply took the blame on himself.

Fu Yuewei was heartbroken, Cui Hu was loyal to her, but she couldn't protect her.

"So it's all your old thing! Someone came, put Cui's family under house arrest, and Cui Xialan sold it to people's teeth, if anyone dares to do such a foolish act in the future, it will be such an end! Lou Qihuai shouted angrily.

After he said this, he casually looked at Fu Yuewei.

Lou Yunxiao drank all the tea in the tea pot, every step that happened today was in her calculations, she just laid a trap and made a play with Wuwu, just to invite you into the urn.
