Southern Territory.

Ito.

Under a red-tiled wall that highlights the identity of a famous clan, a man in a gold-patterned blue robe quietly looked at the note lying in his palm, his cold face was as expressionless as ever.

Sensing the sudden chill in his master's body, Ming Ran couldn't help but shrink her neck, "Master, but Miss Yan has news?" ”

A few days ago, there was intermittent news about Miss Chang, and when I heard that Miss Chang left the clan convoy on the way to the imperial court, the old patriarch's face became extremely ugly, until a few days ago, Watanabe An came again with the news that he was seriously injured and took away the jade, and the old clan lord was even more angry and almost didn't go away.

Although he didn't know much about the secret of that piece of divine jade, he vaguely knew that that piece of divine jade had a great relationship with whether Miss Yan could stay in the clan with peace of mind.

Whether it is the old patriarch or the master of his family, they are all extremely concerned about that piece of divine jade.

Now Miss Chang's whereabouts are unknown, and the divine jade that originally fell into Watanabe's hands was also taken away, almost in an instant, Miss Chang disappeared as if out of thin air, and there was no trace.

The old patriarch was completely ill, and he sighed in the courtyard all day long, and the affairs of the clan, no matter how big or small, were all pushed to his master, and even the old servant who had served for decades was punished several times.

As for the master of his family

Although he never spoke for half a minute, and his emotions were never exposed for half a minute, whenever he heard the news of Miss Chang, the sudden cold aura was enough to explain everything.

Ming Ran didn't understand, didn't Miss Chang's reluctance to stay in the Ito clan just follow her master's wishes?

According to the master's current power, there is no need to rely on the identity of the concubine to sit in that position, Miss Chang does not like the identity of the concubine and yearns for freedom, the master can just stay in love with Miss Yujing, and put Miss Yujing in the right position, isn't it a happy thing for everyone?

But it's the opposite, since Miss Yan set off to go to the imperial court, the master no longer takes the initiative to get close to Miss Yujing by half a step, and the two of them are particularly alienated even if they get along.

The master's alienation of Miss Yujing made rumors begin to spread throughout the clan, and they all spread that it was because Miss Yujing's assassination of the master at the all-fish banquet in the imperial court made the master feel cold, although the emperor's suicide note explained everything, but after all, it was a dead knot in the heart

The people rumored that it was the same, but Ming Ran knew that the initiator of the assassination of the master of the whole fish banquet by Miss Yu Jing was clearly the master, and Miss Yu Jing was the one who was used!

The so-called dead knot did not exist in the first place!! Not to mention the chilling?!!

But everyone is also cloudy, and the rumors can't stop like a flood, and the master seems to have acquiesced, without saying or explaining. The silence made the rumors in the clan more and more intense.

Ming Ran muttered in her heart, thinking back to the unprecedentedly gentle appearance of the master when Miss Chang left the imperial court, and then looking at the master who was now looking at the note on the palm with a gloomy face, Ming Ran couldn't help but gasp in her heart, God, the master wouldn't really think about Miss Chang, right?

"That guy really did it." Itowara answered the question, and as he spoke, he used his palm to turn the paper strip on his palm into powder.

Ming Ran was stunned by this brainless sentence, and didn't dare to answer for a while.

"Where's the patriarch?" Itowara lowered his eyes and gently wiped the paper ash in his palm with a brocade handkerchief, and his face was frosty.

Ming Ran hurriedly came back to his senses, "The old clan master, as usual, didn't even go out of the gate of the other courtyard, but after listening to the doctor, the old clan master's heart has finally stabilized." ”

"Steady?" Itowara glanced at Ming Ran, a sneer slipped in his eyes, and he was silent for a long time before he looked up at the sunset in the distance, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, "Call a few more doctors to guard at the door, and he will be angry directly after receiving the new news." ”

With that, Itowara habitually walked in a certain direction.

Ming Ran was a little dazed, "Master, are you going to the bamboo garden?" ”

Didn't the master say that there would be a situation on the old patriarch's side? Why do you still go to Bamboo Garden? What's so good about the bamboo garden, except for the timid maid Wanyan who cries red eyes at every turn, what is his master going to see?!!

Bamboo Garden.

The man in the gold silk and blue robe reclined quietly on the soft couch, seriously looking at the notes in his hand about the terroir of various places, and his face, which was not smiling on weekdays, finally softened in the quiet, so that Wanyan, who was standing aside and didn't dare to move, was almost stunned.

Since the young lady left, Young Master Yuan seems to come to the bamboo garden every day to stay for a while.

The books beside the soft couch have obviously been read several times, but the original young master still reads them with relish every time he comes.

Wanyan couldn't help but snickered in her heart, although Young Master Yuan was as awe-inspiring as an iceberg, but these days she had watched Young Master Yuan slowly become familiar with Miss's favorite things, and she could vaguely sense that Young Master Yuan was very different from Miss.

Otherwise, how could Young Master Yuan leave Miss Yu Jing behind and always come to this bamboo garden for a long time?

Young Master Yuan must have fallen in love with Miss!!

"Yuan, Yuan, Young Master" took a deep breath several times, Wanyan mustered up a lot of courage, and finally asked the person who was reading quietly on the couch with a trembling voice, "Little Miss, when will she cough and come back?" ”

Wan Yan was so frightened that she almost didn't dig a hole in her cuffs, she actually wanted to ask Young Master Yuan about her young lady for a long time, but the cold around Young Master Yuan really made her tremble when she even approached, she was so scared!!

Just a short question, she didn't know how long she practiced last night, and she didn't think she was still stammering like this when she really said it.

The person who was quietly reading the book slowly raised his star eyes, looked coldly at Wanyan who was trembling slightly in the corner of the wall, and was silent and did not speak.

The room was horribly quiet for a while.

Being raised by Young Master Yuan like this, Wan Yan's frightened legs became weak, and she hurriedly hung her head to look at her toes, and her voice trembled again, "Miss, is there something wrong with her?" ”

In the past few days, she has also vaguely heard some rumors, as if something happened to the young lady and made the old clan master directly angry. How is the old clan master's illness, although she cares, but it is only the concern of the subordinate for the master, but for the young lady, it is different, she is really worried in her heart!! Recalling that the young lady had mentioned to her before leaving, the trip to the imperial court was full of dangers, and she was even more anxious and often woke up in the middle of the night.
