Yu Ren patted Xu Da's shoulder, "Don't worry!" This is not going to happen. If Lord Xiong wants to be unfavorable to us, why don't you have to wait until now, let alone be so troublesome, directly after we hand over those captured officers and soldiers, he can start.

I think the third uncle has really encountered something to delay, you don't have to worry, I will immediately let the ponies and them take people out to find them. ”

After comforting Xu Da, Yu Ren immediately called Jia Jin, the guard outside the door, and asked him to call Ma Jing, the leader of the group of brothers they brought.

Ma Jing saw that Yu Ren called him so late, thinking that something big had happened, so he hurried over, and while walking and getting dressed, it was obvious that he had already fallen asleep.

"Yu Xianggong, you called me something?"

Yu Ren saw Ma Jing's nervous look and said, "It's not a big deal." It's just that the third master went out at dinner, and he hasn't come back yet. In this Suzhou city, the third master has no relatives and friends, and he has not come back yet, so we are a little worried. You take some people and look for them separately.

Remember, don't panic, and try not to alarm others. It's good to find it, but if you can't find it, it's not a big deal. I think the third uncle will definitely come back by himself tomorrow. ”

After sending Ma Jing away, Yu Ren let Xu Da into his room, and the two waited for news in the house.

Ma Jing and the others found the fourth watch, but they still couldn't find Xu Hai, so everyone came back one after another, to listen to Yu Ren's instructions.

Yu Ren only asked, "Have you seen anything unusual in Suzhou City?" ”

"No, everything is fine." Ma Jing replied.

"Okay, then go back to sleep! The third master should be back after dawn. When the third master comes back, don't talk about going to him tonight, just assume that this incident hasn't happened, remember? ”

Although Ma Jing didn't understand why Yu Ren had such a judgment, at this time, Yu Ren's prestige in the Xu family was already extremely high, and everyone was very convinced of his ability to do things, so Ma Jing left with confidence.

Only Xu Da is not too reassured. Yu Ren comforted him a few more words, and then he went back to his room to sleep.

At the beginning of the next day, Xu Hai really came back, but his steps were very light, as if he didn't want everyone to find out that he went out last night, and he didn't even leave the main entrance, but jumped over the wall and came in. One of the brothers who was guarding the courtyard heard the voice and was about to shout, but he stopped him.

It was very strange for the brother who was guarding the courtyard to see that the third master had returned to his own house, but he wanted to sneak like this, but he didn't dare to ask.

Xu Hai quietly told the brother not to tell anyone about what he saw, especially Yu Ren. The brother said yes and walked away. Xu Hai walked lightly to his room, and saw that there was no light in Yu Ren's room from a distance, so he was relieved.

In fact, Yu Ren has never slept, and he vaguely heard the sound of Xu Hai jumping off the wall. So he got up quietly, licked the window paper, and just saw Xu Hai tiptoeing into his room. Although the rooms of the two are not adjacent, they are in the same courtyard.

A light smile appeared on Yu Ren's face. It seems that everything is as he expected.

During breakfast, Yu Ren saw that Xu Hai was in poor spirits, so he deliberately asked him if he didn't sleep well last night.

Xu Hai nodded, "I probably drank a little too much yesterday, and I always had a headache after lying down, and I didn't sleep well all night." After eating, I still have to catch up on sleep. ”

Yu Ren didn't ask much, and after eating, he went back to the room and went to the Yu family with Zhao Rui to continue planning their Yu family's bank.

After dinner, Xu Hai quietly went out again like yesterday. Yu Ren had already made up his mind today to see where Xu Hai had gone at night, and whether it was as he expected, so he quietly followed behind Xu Hai.

After seeing Xu Hai turn around in Suzhou City for most of the time, he came to a relatively secluded alley. After looking left and right to see that there was no one, he hurriedly walked to a small courtyard and knocked on the door. The door opened, and it was a pretty girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

The little girl let Xu Hai in, looked outside again, and then closed the door.

Yu Ren hurried to the door of the small courtyard lightly, but saw that there was no sign on the door, and he couldn't tell who it was. looked around and saw that there was an ancient locust tree in the corner of the courtyard, and Yu Ren jumped on the big locust tree in three or two clicks.

Sitting on this large locust tree, you can just see the scene in the courtyard.

This is a small courtyard, only three rooms in the main house, no wings, and a small room in the corner of the courtyard, which should be a kitchen. A lamp was lit in one of the main rooms at this time. Xu Hai's laughter could be faintly heard, and there was a woman's voice. It's just that because of the distance, what they are talking about, Yu Ren can't hear clearly.

After a while, there was a sound of lute from the room. Although Yu Ren didn't see anyone, he was more sure of the identity of the woman in this room.

About an hour later, the little girl who had just opened the door came out of the room with some cups and plates, and the door closed again. Because Yu Ren was in an incorrect position, he couldn't see the scene in the room.

The little girl yawned and brought out the cups and plates, and as soon as she put them in the hut in the courtyard, she went back to the room on the west side to sleep.

Seeing this, Yu Ren hurriedly took out the iron grip that Li Ying gave him in his arms, and quietly slipped into the courtyard with its strength. Although he had already guessed who this woman was, he couldn't rest assured that he hadn't seen anyone.

Yu Ren quietly touched the window in the east room, stretched out his hand to dip his saliva, and gently poked the window paper, wanting to see who the woman in this room was, but suddenly heard a "whew". The lights in the room went out all at once.

Yu Ren was taken aback, quickly shrunk up, and hid under the window. For he knew that as soon as the lights in the house were extinguished, the moonlight would shine his shadow on the windows.

Fortunately, his movements were fast enough, and Xu Hai and the woman in the house did not notice him. Yu Ren shrank in the corner, not daring to move. I'm afraid that I will accidentally make a noise and be discovered by the people in the house.

There was a sound of undressing in the room, followed by the sound of a woman's soft voice. Next, there is the soft pant of the man and the soft moan of the woman. When Yu Ren heard this, he knew that he would never have a chance to see this woman again, so he quietly returned to the tree.

It's just that he doesn't give up.

So Yu Ren kept watch on the tree all night, until the fifth watch, and sure enough, he heard another movement in the room. Xu Hai, who only listened, spoke softly to the woman. Then I saw Xu Hai dressing and opening the door and walking out. Xu Hai opened the door, and he didn't call the little girl, so he opened the courtyard door and left.

Yu Ren looked at Xu Hai and hurriedly walked out of the alley, but still didn't move.

I waited for more than an hour, and then I saw the woman in the room slowly get up. Then I got dressed and walked out into the yard.

Yu Ren finally saw the appearance of this woman clearly, and as he expected, it was Huang Yuanji's cousin - Huang Suqin, whom they met at the banquet the day before yesterday.

Yu Ren returned home in deep thought all the way, and Zhao Rui and Ping'er were packing their things. Yu Ren was a little surprised.

"What's wrong?"

"Pack up your things and go back to Songjiang! My father-in-law, you haven't forgotten about it for a while. I'm twenty-six today. In a few days, it will be the Chinese New Year's Eve. Aren't you going back to Songjiang for the New Year? ”

Yu Ren then remembered that the Chinese New Year was coming soon. But the private affair between Xu Hai and that woman that was just discovered made Yu Ren a little uneasy. He always felt that this woman was not simple. At that banquet, the appearance of this woman named Huang Suqin seemed to be accidental, but Yu Ren decided that it must be Huang Yuanji's careful arrangement.

This Huang Yuanji obviously wants to use his cousin to hook Xu Hai. And judging from the results so far, his move has been successful. I just don't know what the real purpose of this Huang Yuanji is doing this. If he was just greedy for the Xu family's money, then Yu Ren would be relieved. After all, for the Xu family, things that can be done with money are almost not big deals.

It's just a woman, even if Xu Hai spends a few thousand taels of silver for her every year, it's not a big deal. But if you have ulterior motives, it's not easy.

Yu Ren really wanted to talk to Xu Hai about this. But looking at Xu Hai's such a covert act, it was obvious that he didn't want Yu Ren to know about it. I don't know if he was worried that Yu Ren would tell his wife after he knew about it, or that Xu Xinsu would know about it and be scolded, or for some other reason.

But in this way, it was difficult for Yu Ren to ask him about it.

After thinking about it, Yu Ren felt that Xu Hai had already hooked up with this woman anyway. I'll talk about this matter for a few days, and it's the same, it's better to go home for the New Year now. After all, his uncle had such a serious illness during the Chinese New Year this year, and his cousin was no longer around. If he doesn't go back, I don't know how sad his uncle will be.

So, Yu Ren said hello to Xu Hai, and took Zhao Rui and Ping'er back to Songjiang. Xu Hai didn't keep it.
