The news of the silent engagement deeply stimulated Su Ying.

She stayed up all night.

For a short time before dawn, she was exhausted, thinking that she would leave for her hometown after dawn, and finally planned to squint for a while and get up to clean up.

As soon as I lay down and covered the quilt, I heard the voices of people in Zuofu.

"Catch the Assassins, don't let them escape."

Assassins again?

Su Ying grabbed the quilt tightly, and her heart also tugged up.

The housekeeper replied in a low voice outside the door: "Miss Su, don't be afraid, it's a thief in the study, and everyone is catching a thief." ”

Catch a thief?

OK.

It's not an assassin who wants a human life.

Su Ying recuperated in the mansion for a few days, knowing that the Guogong Mansion was very large, even larger than the area of the entire Quanshui Village.

Each room and each adult man in the mansion has its own independent courtyard, and the adult daughters and granddaughters also have their own small courtyards, and the daughters and granddaughters of each house are divided into a courtyard according to each room.

Although Zuo Chengyi is a concubine and grandson, according to the rules of the house, he is also divided into a separate courtyard.

Su Ying's temporary residence is the guest room in Zuo Chengyi's courtyard.

Because it is a special period now, almost all the adult men of the Zuo family are dedicated to the barracks, and rarely return to the house to live, at least in the past few days when Su Ying has been recuperating from her injuries, except for seeing Zuo Chengyi at night, she has never seen anything else.

I heard that there are a lot of female dependents in the house, but Zuo Chengyi's secrecy work has been done well, at least in the past few days that Su Ying has lived temporarily, no one has come to disturb him.

"I don't know what important things the thief stole even the grandfather of the country was shocked." Xiao Ran knocked on the door outside sleepily, "The housekeeper asked the slave to come over to accompany the girl." ”

Su Ying was worried, someone came to accompany her, she couldn't wait.

Hurry up and open the door and let people in.

"The housekeeper has a heart, and when he sees him early in the morning, he will definitely thank him. Xiao Ran, you are so sleepy that you can't open your eyes, hurry up and go to bed and go back to sleep. ”

The movement of catching thieves outside was too loud, and Xiao Ran couldn't sleep at all.

Then she talked about the house.

"It's really not the right time for the thief to come, you know, Gongzi and Grandpa Guo have rarely returned home recently."

"Cheng Guogong has also returned home?" Su Ying asked curiously.

Xiao Ran nodded.

"It's really strange, Gongzi slept in the study at night and didn't go back to the barracks, I heard that Grandpa Guo also returned to the house and slept in his own study."

Su Ying asked again: "I just heard that the housekeeper said that the study was stolen, do you know who lost something?" ”

Each courtyard has its own study, and I really don't know who lost it.

Xiao Ran came from outside just now, and when he heard the movement of the government soldiers arresting people, he knew about it.

"I heard that Grandpa Guo's study lost something, it should still be a very important thing, so he was furious just now and dispatched all the government soldiers to catch the thief."

As for what was lost, Xiao Ran didn't know, and he didn't even know the soldiers who were searching.

"All the government soldiers have been dispatched, and the thief should be caught soon." Su Ying was relieved, and pulled Xiao Ran to lie down together, "Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with the two of us, let's sleep quickly, we have to set off at dawn." ”

Xiao Ran just received an order from the housekeeper last night to escort Su Ying back to her hometown, so she had to save up her energy and go on her way early tomorrow morning.

"Well, let's go back to sleep." Xiao Ran, who was extremely sleepy, forgot to be humble when he spoke.

The movement outside is getting louder and louder.

It seems that people are coming to this small courtyard.

The two girls couldn't sleep anymore, so they sat up.

Suddenly, a figure fell from the skylight.

"It's Childe." Xiao Ran's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help covering her mouth, not daring to make it loud, "Childe, what's wrong with you?" ”

A candle was a little dim, Su Ying lit another one, and finally saw Zuo Chengyi's appearance clearly.

Although he couldn't see any external injuries on his body, he could see that his breath was extremely weak.

Zuo Chengyi pointed to the outside of the courtyard and said intermittently: "They, yes, come, arrest me, ......"

Su Ying's face changed suddenly.

"You're the thief they call it?"

Su Ying knew that Zuo Chengyi was already suspicious of Zuo Mao, and if he risked his life to steal Zuo Mao's things, that thing must be extremely important.

If that thing is still related to the Xiao family tragedy, Zuo Mao will definitely not be able to catch anyone and not give up, otherwise, his reputation for a lifetime is very likely to be ruined.

Zuo Chengyi, dangerous!

Su Ying also had a pill on her body, which was the life-saving medicine that Li Changqing gave her before.

She saw that Zuo Chengyi didn't even have the strength to speak, so she stuffed the pill into his mouth without saying anything.

He said in a low voice: "You are seriously injured, you will definitely not be able to escape the net outside, you have to hide quickly, and then wait for an opportunity to escape." ”

As soon as the pill was in his mouth, Zuo Chengyi felt that he had some strength in his body.

took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Su Ying.

admonished: "I have been exposed, Zuo Mao will not let me go, this letter is what I got from his study, it is a secret letter written to him by the tyrant, which contains the truth of the Xiao Mansion tragedy." You give it to Silence for me. The Xiao family's revenge depends on him to avenge it. ”

"It's your brother's business, you can't rely on him alone." Su Ying really didn't want Zuo Chengyi to have an accident, "This pill is very precious, if you eat it, you will have strength in a while, even if you can't fight hard with those people outside, with your kung fu, there is still a great chance of escaping." You don't give up easily. ”

Footsteps outside were getting louder.

Zuo Chengyi shook his head.

"It's too late, they're coming."

He slipped the letter into Su Ying's hand.

"You can only be safe if I go out. Otherwise, Zuo Mao won't even let you go. ”

After saying these words, the strength on Zuo Chengyi's body gradually condensed, and looking at the skylight, he still had the strength to jump up.

It's just that before he jumped out, he was grabbed by the wrist.

"Childe, you stay here, Xiao Ran will lure people away for you."

"Xiao Ran—" Su Ying and Zuo Chengyi shouted in unison.

But Xiao Ran only left the two of them with a back, and jumped out.
