In the main hall of the Pearl Building, where guests are gathered, there is a woman standing in a long red skirt decorated with flower petals, which supports her mature figure even more attractively. With jet-black hair and sideburns on the top of her head, she was dressed as a woman.

This woman is the eldest lady of Mingzhulou - Ye Feihua.

In the early years, when he reached the age of marriage, Ye Qingcang also promised his eldest daughter to someone's family, and her husband's family was a wealthy family surnamed Ding in the neighboring county next door, but on the day Ye Feihua got married, her husband died unexpectedly, and it didn't take long for the Ding family's business to suffer a setback.

After that, Ye Feihua also gave up the idea of remarrying, and devoted herself to taking care of the size of Mingzhu Building for her father.

Originally, Ye Feihua, a woman who had already married someone, should be called Mrs. Ding with her husband's surname, and it was somewhat inappropriate to call her Miss Ye again, but this kind of thing is not very honorable after all, and people who know it also deliberately avoid it, and over time, people are used to calling Miss Ye, and no one calls her Mrs. Ding anymore.

It is strange to say that in order to retreat and cultivate, and also to find something to do for his eldest daughter, so as to forget those unpleasant things in the past, he handed over all the big and small matters in the building to Ye Feihua, and he lived in seclusion behind the scenes as a shopkeeper.

Who would have thought that after the business of Mingzhulou was handed over to Ye Feihua, it was getting bigger and bigger year by year, and today, it has spread the industry all over the country, and it is one of the most wealthy families in Dongsheng.

I don't know how the Nading family should feel when they found out.

Although Huo Chunlei and Ye Feihong have never met, they are old acquaintances with Ye Feihua, and there is less politeness between words.

Ye Feihua understood his mood at the moment, and didn't have the heart to blame him for being rude, just frowned, and said with a sad face: "Yesterday, I sent my little sister back to the room, and everything was as usual at that time, but this morning, I heard from the grandmother who served her that there was no one in the room, and I just noticed that something was wrong, and when I rushed to check, there was no sign of a fight in the room." It's as if this big living person has disappeared out of thin air. My father was not in the building, and I didn't know what to do for a while, so I had to send someone to inform Master Huo. ”

There are some things, Ye Feihua didn't say it, the little sister actually has some opinions about this marriage, and she had a fight with herself in the building yesterday.

Just because this Ye Feihong has worshiped the master since he was a child, he was taken to the East China Sea by the master to cultivate, and he has always been raised by his side. Until last year, Ye Qingcang felt that the little girl had also reached the age of talking about marriage, so he promised it to the second son of his best friend Huo Rendi.

After Ye Feihong was sent back to Mojuan City by her father, she was locked in the building and not allowed to go out, and she ordered her eldest daughter Ye Feihua to take strict care of her.

Originally, Ye Feihong was also a sensible and obedient person since she was a child, and she was locked up for a few days, and after a few days of trouble, she acquiesced in the marriage, but it happened that at this time, I didn't know which servant who loved to chew the root of his tongue muttered, saying that his fiancé actually went to Fengyue to drink and have fun when he was about to get married, and he also fought with people for a prostitute.

Is this great?

choked Ye Feihong at once, and immediately found the eldest sister's theory and wanted to withdraw from the marriage.

After Ye Feihua learned about this, she was also furious, but this is the way of the world, men acting outside the scene, not only no one will condemn them, but they can also be praised as romantic figures, and although women do not say that they must be three and four virtues at home, they must also abide by women's ways.

Even the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes cannot escape this reason.

Besides, this was the marriage set by his father and Huo Ge Master himself, Ye Feihua had no right to divorce from others, seeing that the wedding date was approaching, Ye Feihua had no choice but to persuade her angry little sister with kind words, and after Ye Feihong smashed the twenty-third precious vase in the building, she finally coaxed her back to the room.

I didn't think that the next morning, the people were gone.

At this moment, Ye Feihua hoped that it was not the little sister who ran away from the marriage herself, and on the other hand, she was afraid that the little sister was really taken away by the wicked and bullied, and the entanglement was not enough for outsiders.

Huo Chunlei didn't know what was entangled in her heart at the moment, she just thought that Ye Feihua, who was usually shrewd and capable, had no idea when she encountered this kind of thing, and said anxiously: "Take us to her boudoir to have a look, maybe we can find some clues." ”

"This ......"

Ye Feihua was a little hesitant when she heard this, after all, it was a woman's boudoir that had not left the pavilion, even if she had a marriage contract, she couldn't just let Huo Chunlei break in by the way, and besides, there was an outsider behind him.

"What the hell, that, let's go!"

Huo Chunlei was so anxious that he grabbed Ye Feihua's wide sleeves and was about to go out the door.

"Let it go!"

Ye Feihua saw that his sleeve was grabbed by him, and he almost tore his clothes, so angry that his eyebrows rose upside down and he shouted.

Xu Zhaonan stood aside, knowing that if he didn't come forward to explain one or two, he was afraid that the person had not yet been found, so he would fight first, stretched out his hand to stop Huo Chunlei, and saluted Ye Feihua, and said, "Miss Ye, please take us to the second lady's boudoir to check first, and we may be able to help one or two in the next meeting." ”

Ye Feihua saw that this person was a little raw, as if she had never seen it before, and this person was accompanied by such a huge white wolf, if she had seen it, she would definitely not forget it, so she asked hesitantly: "...... are you?"

Huo Chunlei reacted, let go of the hand that was pulling Ye Feihong's sleeve, pointed at Xu Zhaonan, and explained: "This is my brother Xu, he said that he could help find someone, so I took him over." ”

"I see. ”

Ye Feihua nodded, but was still a little hesitant.

Xu Zhaonan said: "Miss Ye, we are all people in the rivers and lakes, we don't have to stick to those small sections, it's better to find talents first for today's plan, I'm afraid it will be too late after a long time." ”

"Well, come with me. ”

Ye Feihua listened to what he said, made a decisive decision, and led Xu Zhaonan and the others to the little sister's boudoir.

"Wait. ”

When he came to the door, Xu Zhaonan stretched out his hand to stop the two of them, and asked Ye Feihua: "Miss Ye, how many people have been in the second lady's boudoir today?

"Today's ......"

Ye Feihua thought for a while and said: "Only I have been in with Mama Liu, who serves my little sister on weekdays, and the cleaning in the room is also done by Mama Liu, once a day, but today my little sister disappeared, and the people in the building panicked, and they haven't cleaned her room yet." ”

"That's for the best. ”

Xu Zhaonan nodded as if relieved, then pushed open the door, took a deep breath, and frowned, as if he had made some discovery.

took out a small porcelain vase from his bosom and said to the two: "Please wait at the door for a while." ”

After speaking, the cap of the bottle was opened, and a puff of white smoke slowly drifted out of the mouth of the bottle.

Xu Zhaonan stood outside the door and gently blew the white smoke into the room, only to see that although the porcelain bottle was small, the white smoke inside seemed to be endless, and after a while, it filled the whole room.

Huo Chunlei was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What is this?"

Xu Zhaonan sold Guan Zi and said: "I call this thing a trace of wind passing, as for the specific use, we will know later." ”

After speaking, Xu Zhaonan screwed the porcelain bottle with the lid and looked at the situation in the house, only to see that the white smoke that filled the house had turned into dust and was attached to various places in the room, leaving deep or shallow traces.

Xu Zhaonan said: "Okay, I'll go in first, you wait outside the door for a while, don't step on the ground." ”

Huo Chunlei and the others were shocked by his methods, and did not refute them, just when what he said was what he said.

Xu Zhaonan walked into the house lightly, walked around the room, and after observing for a while, he shouted to the two people outside the house, "You can come in." ”

The two of them followed his example, and also entered the house lightly, only to see Xu Zhaonan standing in the back room touching his chin and bowing his head in contemplation, Ye Feihua asked in a low voice, "Xu Shaoxia, how is it?"

"Look. ”

Xu Zhaonan pointed to a few series of footprints of different sizes highlighted on the ground and said: "There are a total of four people's footprints on the ground, Miss Ye just said that only you and the second lady Liu Mama have come in the room today, so I think one of these footprints was left by that Liu Mama when she came in, one was left by Miss Ye when she entered the house today to look for someone, and the other is the second lady's own, so who is the last one?"

Ye Feihua pointed to a string of footprints on the ground that covered the entire room with a surprised face, stretched out her embroidered shoes to compare them for a moment, and nodded: "Yes, this set of footprints was left by me when I came in this morning." ”

After a pause, he pointed to another set of footprints that only returned to the door of the inner room, and said, "This set of footprints should have been left by Mama Liu." ”

frowned, looked at the remaining two strings of footprints and said, "This string of smaller footprints should be Xiaomei's, so ...... This last series of larger footprints should have been left by a man, who is it......"

Hearing that the person who kidnapped his wife who had not passed through the door was actually a man, although Huo Chunlei had prepared in his heart, but after this confirmation, it was still difficult for him to accept, so he hurriedly spun around in place, and he was out of proportion for a while.

Ye Feihua is a woman after all, she is still more careful, she doesn't care about Huo Chunlei, who has no six gods and no owner, and after taking a turn in the room, she seems to have found something, and exclaimed: "This person actually came in from the front!"

Huo Chunlei was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly ran to the door to identify it, and sure enough, the last series of footprints started from the door, that is to say, this person did not enter through the window, it was more likely that it was someone Ye Feihong knew, who was led into the house by her who opened the door.

At this time, Huo Chunlei had mixed feelings, and said without hesitation: "She actually knows the thief, who is that adulterer!"

"Shut up!"

Ye Feihua shouted angrily: "You are not allowed to slander my little sister's innocence!"

"Slander?"

Huo Chunlei snorted coldly and sneered: "This person has been brought into the room, obviously he ran away with that person, not an adulterer!"

"You!"

Ye Feihua, who has always been calm and atmospheric in front of outsiders, couldn't help but clench her fists in anger, and when she couldn't help but fight Huo Chunlei, she only heard Xu Zhaonan stand at the window and say: "Second Brother Huo, maybe things are not as you think, you come and see." ”

Ye Feihua listened to what he said as if she had discovered something, left Huo Chunlei and ignored it, ran to the window quickly, and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Xu Zhaonan nodded, pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "The person who came should know the second lady, but the footprints that left at this window are only one person!"

Ye Feihua frowned at the good-looking willow eyebrows, and thought: "There are no footprints of the little sister here, so the little sister was still taken away by someone?

"Not bad. ”

Xu Zhaonan analyzed: "From this person's footprints, it can be seen that he didn't move around much in the room, and after entering the house, he had a clear purpose to stun the second young lady and took people away." As soon as I opened the door, I smelled a faint smell of wine in the room, which was supposed to be the smell of 'floating dreams'. ”

Ye Feihua exclaimed: "Floating dream?"

As the person in charge of the Pearl Building, he naturally has to make friends with people from three religions and nine streams, and he has also heard of the notoriety of "floating dreams".

The reason why it is said to be "notoriety" is only because this kind of thing is a kind of drug that is extremely unnoticeable, and when this thing volatilizes, it is accompanied by a faint aroma of wine, and it is like the smell of alcohol after being carried on the body, but if the person who smells it does not take the antidote in advance, he will fall asleep in a moment, and after waking up, it is like a dream, so it is named "floating dream".

This kind of thing, although it is difficult to make because of the formula, is still found by some indiscriminate flower thieves and brought it on their bodies for the purpose of stealing incense and jade.

If someone came to stun the little sister with a "floating dream", wouldn't that be ...... Ye Feihua felt as if things were developing in the worst direction, and she didn't dare to continue to think about it.

Xu Zhaonan guessed what she was thinking, and comforted: "The person who came must know the second lady, and if you want to come to the second lady, if it is a person who picks flowers, she will definitely fight, but there is no trace of a fight in this room." Miss Ye, please rest assured, maybe the person who came just didn't know where to find this 'floating dream', in order to take Miss Ye away smoothly, and nothing else may happen. ”

Ye Feihua sighed: "I can only look forward to it." ”

At this time, Huo Chunlei, who had calmed down a lot, heard the conversation between the two, walked over, and asked, "Brother Xu, what should we do next?"

Xu Zhaonan saw that the matter had come to this point, and there was nothing bad to say, so he said to Ye Feihua: "Miss Ye, please bring some of the second miss's personal belongings over and let Xiaobai smell it, maybe he can find some traces with his sense of smell." ”

Ye Feihua also knew that things had come to this point, and if she delayed for a few more points, she would have an extra chance of an accident, and she couldn't care much about it at the moment, so she rummaged through the room in front of the two of them, took out a few of Ye Feihong's underwear and handed them to Xu Zhaonan, and asked, "Are these enough?"

Xu Zhaonan looked at the colorful little clothes, but he didn't take it, and said embarrassedly: "Miss Ye just take it, just give it to Xiaobai to smell the smell." ”

When Ye Feihua heard this, a blush also appeared on her face, although it was an expedient measure, but after all, it was Xiaomei's underwear, and it was indeed a little inappropriate for a man to hold it in his hand, so according to what he said, he directly held the clothes and handed them to Xiaobai's nose.

Xu Zhaonan squatted down, stroked the hair on Xiaobai's body, and whispered to Xiaobai's fluffy wolf ear: "Xiaobai, smell the smell on it quickly, and help me find this person." ”

Xiao Bai shook his nose a few times at the clothes in Ye Feihua's hand, sniffed for a moment, lowered his head and sniffed around the room, then whined, ran up to the window sill on the side, and jumped out.

"Keep up!"

Xu Zhaonan let out a loud shout and jumped out of the windowsill, followed by Huo Chunlei and the others.
