The courtyard is dilapidated, and the house is even more deserted.

There was no doorkeeper, so she pushed the door directly and entered, and the courtyard was overgrown with weeds as tall as one person, so she was familiar with the Jing'an Hou Mansion, otherwise she would get lost in the weeds.

Walk through the hall to the backyard, and then go around the verandah to the middle courtyard, and I didn't see a single person along the way.

When I arrived in the middle courtyard and came to the front of the hall, I heard the voice of a person.

"Grandfather, our family has failed like this because of Liu Yunxiang's slut!"

This voice was Xie Wenqing, who happened to be scolding her.

Liu Yunxiang squinted, pushed the door directly and entered, "I want to ask the fourth girl to tell me, what did I do to make this family fail?" ”

Walking into the hall, the sun is very good outside, the inside is gloomy, the furniture is bad, rotten, and there is dust everywhere, obviously it has not been cleaned up.

Jing Anhou was still wearing armor, and he was sitting on the main seat at this time, his face full of exhaustion.

And Xie Wenqing stood in the middle of the hall, Xu Shixian was dusty here, covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and the disgust on his face was not covered.

Seeing her come in, Jing Anhou stood up and saluted her, "My house is dirty and messy, it's really not suitable for hospitality, so the princess smiled." “

Liu Yunxiang waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if the house is dirty or broken, this time the Hou Ye has made a meritorious service, the emperor must have a reward, as long as the reward is down, the house will not be dirty or messy." ”

Jing'an Hou smiled bitterly, "In the first battle of the Northern Expedition, I made a big mistake, and it would be good to be able to offset the merits, and I didn't dare to ask for any reward." ”

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said no more.

He can go to Nanzhou, Yan Dui has an arrangement, whether there is a reward or not, what the reward is, Yan Dui has already considered it for him.

Liu Yunxiang turned to look at Xie Wenqing again, "Fourth girl, I went to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion yesterday and wanted to check one thing with you, but the people in the mansion said that you went to another place, and you came back quickly." ”

Xie Wenqing's eyes were a little evasive, "I did go to another place and came back early this morning." ”

"Since we met here, then I'll ask the fourth girl a few questions."

"I've already visited my grandfather, and I still have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."

"Fourth girl, what are you running, what did you do?"

"You talk nonsense!"

Jing'an Hou drank Xie Wenqing: "Wenqing, don't be rude to the princess!" ”

"Grandfather! Are you afraid that she won't make it? ”

"She is the princess of Zhenbei, there is a difference between dignity and inferiority!"

"I ......",

"If the princess asks you anything, you will answer honestly!"

Seeing that her grandfather was talking fiercely, Xie Wenqing didn't dare to say anything, so she could only stand back angrily.

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and asked, "Half a month ago, you took Xiao Wu to Yingyue Pavilion, but is there such a thing?" ”

Xie Wenqing pursed her lips, and then smiled: "Yes, I took my sister to buy jewelry, what's wrong with this?" ”

"You also took her back to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion?"

"Yes, I'm hurt, and she's worried I'm going to have to take me home."

"And after that?"

She said she was afraid that her master would be worried, so she sat for a while and went back.

"Going back?"

"Yes."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Xie Wenqing carefully, and saw that she was looking elsewhere, looking disdainful of her.

"Princess, what's wrong with Xiao Wu?" Jing Anhou asked.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, sighed and said, "This child is missing." ”

"Missing?" Xie Wenqing shouted, "You insisted on taking my sister away at the beginning, saying that you would take care of her, and you took care of her like this?" ”

Liu Yunxiang was silent, speaking carefully, she really didn't take good care of Xiao Wu.

"Princess, what's going on?" Jing Anhou asked.

Liu Yunxiang told Jing Anhou about Xiao Wu's disappearance, "I came to you this time, I hope you can use your connections to find Xiao Wu together." The longer she disappeared, the more panicked I became. ”

Jing Anhou nodded, "Xiao Wu is from our Xie family, so I will naturally do my best." ”

"It's great to have the words of Hou Ye."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Xie Wenqing again, "Fourth girl, it's about Xiao Wu's safety, I hope you think about the events of the day carefully, and it's best not to let me find out anything, if Xiao Wu's disappearance is related to you, I won't spare you!" ”

After speaking, Liu Yunxiang left first.

"Grandfather, look how arrogant she is, if she hadn't seduced Yan Du back then and caused our Hou Mansion to lose face, my grandmother and my father would not have died, our family would not have fallen, and I would not have married an old man!" Xie Wenqing said angrily.

"I have already learned about the affairs of the Hou Mansion through many people. It's not that she seduced Yan Dusk, but to save your father, you don't know how to be grateful, and you splash her dirty water. ”

"Grandfather, it's clear that she's a lowly ......"

"Shut up!"

Xie Wenqing also wanted to say, but when he saw Jing Anhou's solemn face, he didn't dare to say any more.

"How much do you know about Xiao Wu?" Jing'anhou asked with a frown.

"I really don't know anything!"

"I know best what kind of virtue you are, so while the Liu family hasn't found anything yet, you'd better confess to me, otherwise I won't be able to save you."

"I don't ......"

"Do you want me to ask Han Wei?"

Xie Wenqing shuddered, hesitated for a moment, and then knelt on the ground.

"Grandfather, I can't help it."

Back at the house, Liu Yunxiang saw the housekeeper leading a few servants to the back garden. She followed and walked over, and saw that Changning was directing the little servants to measure around the big locust tree against the south wall.

She frowned and headed inside.

"What are you doing here?"

The housekeeper saw her hurriedly take two steps, "Princess, this Changning County Lord has cut down this big locust tree, saying that the light in the open space over there is blocked, and also said that we will use two reclining chairs from the trunk of this locust tree." ”

Liu Yunxiang looked at Changning, she was standing there with her hands behind her back, surrounded by servant girls in front of her and behind her, and those who didn't know thought she was the mistress of this house.

"Lord Changning, is this tree blocking you?"

Changning sighed: "The weather is good these days, I want to take His Highness out to bask in the sun, but this tree is too tall, the crown is too big, and it shades the sky and the sun, which affects the light of this back garden very much, so I thought about cutting it down, just make two deck chairs, and let His Highness lie down and rest." ”

"Two?" Liu Yunxiang sneered, "Yan Dusk, you take a hand, and then bask in the sun together, enjoy the scenery of the back garden, drink tea and chat, you think it is very beautiful." It's just that this is the palace, and I'm the princess, so you can't help but treat yourself as a guest, right? ”

Changning's face changed, and then he smiled: "The princess misunderstood, I am for the good of His Highness." ”

"You don't have to worry about whether he's good or not!"

"I have a deep relationship with him, and I can't help but worry about it."

"You are brazen enough to say this in front of other people's wives."

Changning's face turned blue, and he couldn't hang it anymore.

Liu Yunxiang was too lazy to discuss these things with Changning, so he turned around and said to the housekeeper: "Remember, no one can cut down this tree without my permission!" ”

"Yes."

Liu Yunxiang turned around to leave, but Changning stopped her.

"Princess, please give me back two things."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "When did I owe you?" ”

"Those two things were given to Your Highness by me, and I think they should be on you now."

"What?"

Changning glanced at Liu Yunxiang, then looked into the distance, and said coldly: "A purse embroidered with begonias and a red rope." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang was taken aback, "You were the one who rescued Yan Dusk under the cliff at that time?" ”
