At noon, the maid "Huan'er" tiptoed out of Ling Xiaoxiao's room with half a pot of herbal tea, and carefully closed the door gently.

"Madame slept?"

"Ah......h

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind Huan'er, which caught her off guard and let out an exclamation subconsciously.

"Shh

It's too late, it's too soon. At the moment when Huan'er exclaimed, a white figure flashed from the courtyard like a ghost, and swept behind Huan'er in the blink of an eye. The person who came covered Huan'er's mouth and nose with his left hand, grabbed her waist with his right hand, and flew back, jumping several feet until he "escaped" from the inner courtyard.

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Don't be afraid, it's me!"

Walking to a secluded place, the visitor let go of the panicked Huan'er and reported to her the door.

"Seven...... Seventh Master?"

After identifying Murong Bai's identity, Huan'er, who was relieved, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The horror on his face quickly dissipated, but a vague shyness flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Madame is taking a nap, and the seventh master is coming quietly, so I am ...... overlooked."

"It's okay!" Looking at Huan'er, who was hurriedly arguing, Murong Bai interrupted indifferently, "I have something to ask you." ”

"Oh......"

Murong Bai's arrogance and indifference were like a basin of cold water pouring down on his head, and all Huan'er's enthusiasm was annihilated when he landed.

"I knew that the Seventh Master wouldn't come to me for no reason......" Huan'er muttered to herself with a lost face, "I was looking forward to it day and night......"

"What did you say?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing!" Under Murong Bai's questioning, Huan'er was stunned, and a flush quickly flew on her cheeks, and she prevaricated indiscriminately, "Seventh Master...... What does the Seventh Master want to ask me?"

"You are Madame's favorite girl, and you must know a lot of secrets by your side day and night. Murong Bai has a frank temperament and has always been quick to talk, "If you can say what I ask, you can say it, if you can't say it...... You can not say. ”

Six years ago, if it weren't for the Seventh Master's mercy, Huan'er would not have been able to bury her parents, maybe...... Even I myself would starve to death on the streets. Huan'er pouted, pretending to be displeased, "The seventh master has the grace of saving Huan'er's life and reinventing it." Therefore, Huan'er has no secrets that can't be said in front of the seventh master. ”

"That's a mistake!" Back then, I paid for the corpse, and you sold yourself as a slave, in the final analysis, it was just a business that you were willing to do, so what kind of life-saving grace and reinvention could you talk about?" Murong Bai frowned and corrected, "Over the years, you have become Madame's personal maid step by step from a miscellaneous girl, relying on your own diligence and cleverness, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

"If it weren't for the Seventh Master taking me into the house, no matter how diligent I was, I wouldn't have been appreciated by my wife. ”

You don't have to take the past to heart, let alone talk about it. Murong Bai waved his hand impatiently, "Let me ask you, what is the relationship between Madame and the mansion master?"

"The seventh master is asking ......"

"I'm asking about the 'current mansion master' Xie Xuan. Murong Bai saw through Huan'er's confusion at a glance, and his answer was simple and crisp.

"The relationship between the lady and the lord of the house...... Pretty good. Huan'er nodded as if she didn't understand, "When they met, they talked and laughed, just like before." ”

"How about in private?" Murong Bai's heart turned for a moment, and he said, "In private, how does Madame evaluate Xie Xuan?"

"This ......" Huan'er was stunned for a moment, and a look of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. ”

"It's not that Huan'er doesn't want to say it, it's just ...... Huan'er didn't dare to talk nonsense. Huan'er's hands rubbed the corners of her clothes repeatedly, and she said, "I'm worried that I will take the words out of context and cause unnecessary misunderstandings." ”

"Today's things are out of your mouth and into my ears. God knows, you know and I know. Murong Bai heard a hint of strangeness from Huan'er's words, and his heart was secretly shocked, and his tone was inevitably uneasy, "Huan'er, you tell me honestly, Madame is ...... in private Do you have a lot of criticism for Xie Xuan?"

"I don't know the specifics, Madame doesn't allow me to sit in on everything, she often orders me to step down. Huan'er frowned slightly, and recalled carefully, "But judging from what I heard, Madame is ...... to the lord of the mansion Doesn't seem to be very trusting. Today, she and the fourth master mentioned the Qingfeng Alliance Leader, what did they say...... I want to put the unfavorable crime of chasing and killing Liu Xunyi on the head of the mansion master, frame him for secretly communicating with Liu Xunyi, and deliberately leak the news......"

"What?" Huan'er's answer surprised Murong Bai, and his face became extremely ugly, "What else do they say?"

They also said...... The lord of the mansion recently got very close to a person named Lei Zhen from outside the Guanwai. The lady and the fourth master complained that Lei Zhen taught the bad lord of the mansion and made him suffer from the bad problem of looking for flowers and asking willows. "In the face of Murong Bai's questioning, Huan'er knew everything and said everything," Madame asked the fourth master to go to Mingling Yayuan to find a girl who was good with the lord of the mansion and help her redeem herself, so as not to insult the reputation of the Xianwang Mansion...... Madame has complained more than once that the lord of the mansion is not interested in chasing and killing Liu Xunyi...... Mrs. said that unless the mansion owner personally arrested Liu Xunyi, she would never believe in the innocence of the mansion owner, and said 'rather than indulge'......"

With Huan'er's intermittent narration, the more Murong Bai listened, the more frightened he became, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became. So much so that Huan'er's voice fell, but Murong Bai was timid, stunned, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Seventh Master, Seventh Master......"

Huan'er had never seen Murong Bai so panicked, so she couldn't help but be worried, so she asked again and again: "Seventh Master, is something wrong?"

"Huh?" In Huan'er's voice, Murong Bai suddenly woke up and hurriedly admonished, "Huan'er, never say what you said just now, today...... Right when you I haven't met. ”

"I understand. Huan'er was smart and clever, and she didn't get to the bottom of it, but very obediently and happily promised, "Seventh Master, don't worry, I will never tell anyone else about this matter." ”

"So good!" At this moment, Murong Bai was worried, turning a deaf ear to Huan'er's "flattery", and said casually, "You go back quickly, don't let others notice." ”

"Seventh Master, I made a pair of shoes for you a while ago...... If you don't dislike it, I'll give you a try......"

However, before Huan'er, whose face was full of crimson, could say what she thought, the panicked Murong Bai had already strode away without looking back. Therefore, when Huan'er mustered up the courage to raise her head, Murong Bai had already disappeared, making her heart like a deer crashing into her stunned and embarrassed, and her voice stopped abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, Huan'er, who was ashamed and annoyed, scolded "elm pimple". He stomped his foot and turned away with a grunt.

When the chaotic Murong Bai stumbled to the door of the study, his emotions became more and more excited, and his eyes became more and more entangled.

"Come in!"

Before he could hesitate to knock on the door, Xie Xuan's voice suddenly came from the room. Murong Bai's spirits perked up, he simply turned his heart sideways, pushed hard, and broke into the room in a big stride.

In the study, Xie Xuan, who was light and breezy, had already prepared two cups of tea. One cup is placed in front of him, and the other is placed opposite, as if he were waiting for a vacant position.

"What's the matter?

Looking at Xie Xuan, who was so secretive, Murong Bai's face changed color, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and the violent mood fluctuations were enough to be seen.

"Bang!"

"Why?"

Murong Bai rushed in front of Xie Xuan with an arrow step, and slammed his fist on the table, shaking the two cups of tea. Tea overflowed, splashing all over the table.

"Why did you let me go to Huan'er, why did you ask her those inexplicable questions?" Murong Bai's face sank like water, and he asked word by word, "Xie Xuan, what are your intentions?"

"Huan'er has always regarded you as a lifesaver, and she has secretly promised you since she first saw you. Therefore, only you can ask Madame's secret from her mouth. If you are a bystander, you will never have this opportunity. Xie Xuanchu was not surprised, and took a sip of the teacup lightly, and said lightly, "As for the questions I asked you to ask...... Not just for me, but for you. Looking at the way you look now, you don't have to ask me to guess what Huan'er said. Murong Bai, you and I have been brothers in life and death for more than ten years of ups and downs, do you think I have bad intentions for letting you know my wife's secrets? Do you think I have bad intentions against my wife? No! The person who really has bad intentions and plots against me is not me, but ...... Madam. ”

"Why is this happening?"

Although Xie Xuan's tone was as plain as water, his words were as sharp as a knife, which made Murong Bai have mixed feelings, mixed feelings, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

The sudden "infighting" caught him off guard and was at a loss for revenge.

"Why is this happening?" Murong Baiqun was full of suspicion, and asked again and again, "Why is Madam suspicious of you and Liu Xunyi...... Why does she want to test you again and again? Why does she have murderous intentions for you?"

"What do you say?" Xie Xuan's eyes flashed, and he didn't answer and asked meaningfully, "Why does Madam believe everyone and be suspicious of me?"

"Xie Xuan, I don't want to guess the dumb riddle now!" Murong Bai waved his hand and asked seriously, "You tell me plainly, what are you ...... Did you secretly collude with Liu Xunyi?"

Looking at the upset Murong Bai, Xie Xuan was expressionless and didn't say a word, just staring straight at Murong Bai's eyes full of melancholy and confusion with a pair of deep eyes.

"You...... You...... Are you really secretly colluding with Liu Xunyi?" Seeing that Xie Xuan was silent, Murong Bai, who gradually woke up, was shocked.

At the same time, he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and suddenly made a move, his five fingers were like hooks, and he strangled Xie Xuan's neck. His eyes were scarlet, his whole body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and asked aggressively: "Xie Xuan, you dare to betray the Xianwang Mansion......?"

"Actually, you should ask me, what happened on the night of the seventh day of the lunar month last year?" Xie Xuan was choked by Murong Bai's throat, but his face still did not change and he did not move, "You should ask me...... Who killed the lord of the mansion?"

"This ......"

Xie Xuan's calmness and unhurried attitude towards death made Murong Bai's murderous heart shake, and the scenes of the night Luo Tianjin's murder quickly flashed in his mind.

"In the past, before the time came, I had to live in shame and humiliation. Now that the general trend is coming, I am ready to send an arrow. Therefore, there are some secrets...... I don't have to keep it hidden. Now, you and my brother must work together to fight the same enemy. Xie Xuan suddenly made a move, tightly grasped Murong Bai's trembling wrist, and the words were sonorous and loud, "Xie Mou dared to swear to the spirit of the mansion lord in the sky, every word and word I said was the truth. If you still have the lord of the mansion in your heart and still recognize me as a brother, you should understand my good intentions and know where to go next. If you are ungrateful and tend to be inflammatory, you can stab me in the heart with one shot, so that I can meet the lord of the mansion under the Nine Springs as soon as possible. ”

"You ......"

"Actually, the culprits who murdered the mansion master were not Zhao Yuan and Liu Xunyi, but ...... Ling Xiaoxiao and Qingfeng. ”
