Xiao Qizi didn't dare to say anything, it was the master's decision.
In the study room, Ming Lanruo rested her head on her forehead, listening to Zhou Ru tell about the findings of following Xiang Na these days.
She fell into deep thought.
"Miss, what do you think?" Grandma Wang put the bird's nest and lotus seed soup on the table.
Zhaoyao couldn't help but said: "Do it, why don't you do it? It's obvious that that must be where Aunt Agu is hiding!"
Chen Ning glanced at the boy next to him lightly: "How old are you? Talk less and listen more."
Zhaoyao muttered: "I'm just a few years younger than you, so what I said must be wrong?"
Grandma Wang frowned slightly: "I also think it will be easier to find Grandma Agu this time?"
Although it seems that there is no problem.
Ming Lanruo was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "My decision is still to take action."
Chun He and Chen Ning were stunned. Is the eldest lady’s decision too hasty this time?
But Grandma Wang looked at Ming Lanruo and smiled: "Miss, if you really think about it, we will listen to you."
…
The days flew by and it was the seventh or eighth day again.
On this day, Xiang Na got up and went to Chu Yuanbai's room to change his dressing.
"I heard that Qin Yuchen has been coming to the post house every day recently?" Chu Yuanbai leaned on the soft pillow, his face still pale, but at least he was no longer pale.
Shanna paused while mixing the medicine, and then said calmly: "Brother Yuchen is very concerned about my brother's injury."
Chu Yuanbai looked at Xiang Na with his eyebrows slightly twisted: "Xiang Na, Qin Yuchen's wife just passed away not long ago, but my brother doesn't look sad at all. Such a person..."
"Brother, I'm not going to marry him. Can you stop being so prejudiced against Brother Yuchen?" Shanna said impatiently.
Chu Yuanbai looked at Xiang Na with a cold expression: "Xiang Na, I am here for your own good. Grandma only has two children: you and me. She is no longer here. If I don't take care of you, who will take care of you!"
"Okay, okay, I understand." The Miao girl was already enthusiastic and unrestrained, and her teenage years were when she was most rebellious. Shanna was really impatient of her brother's preaching.
She quickly changed the medicine and waved her hand: "Brother, I went out to buy medicine for you!"
After saying that, she turned around and left with the medicine box in hand.
Looking at Shanna's back, Chu Yuanbai was helpless and irritated: "Come here, follow the lady. Anyone she meets must be reported to me!"
Damn it, once he was injured, he couldn't move forward with many things. He could only rely on Shanna, but that girl... really made him worried.
"Yes!" A servant in blue clasped his fists and followed immediately.
Shanna walked out of Chu Yuanbai's room, but did not go out directly. Instead, she returned to her yard.
As soon as she entered the room, she jumped like a bird into the arms of the tall man standing with his hands behind his back: "Brother Yuchen!"
Qin Yuchen looked at the girl in his arms and smiled softly: "What's wrong?"
"Brother is always biased against you. Even though you saved us, he is always on guard against you." Shanna complained softly while hugging his waist.
These days, brother Yuchen often discusses things with her. Their relationship has advanced by leaps and bounds, and they have already broken through the barrier between men and women.
Anyway, she is the next saint and won't get married, so it doesn't matter.
"It doesn't matter, he is your brother, just don't be wary of me. When are you going to the teahouse today?" Qin Yuchen tapped the tip of the girl's nose and said with a smile.
Shanna raised her head and kissed him: "I like brother Yuchen the most..."
She reached out and boldly opened his belt: "Brother Yuchen, kiss me...I'll go after you kiss me."
"Is kissing enough?" Qin Yuchen raised his eyebrows, smiled meaningfully, bent down, picked her up and walked into the room.
After another full hour, Shanna came out of the room with a blushing face and led the maid out.
Although Chu Yuanbai's attendant in blue was a little puzzled, seeing that the door to the room was wide open and there was no one else inside, he didn't think much and followed him out.
Shanna carried the basket and went to the private room of the teahouse as usual.
The sky was getting dark, but she still didn't come out of the private room. The maids were guarding the door.
The waiter who delivered the tea came over with the tea and said to the three maids dressed as Miao girls: "Sisters, the shopkeeper asked the young one to deliver the tea."
The leader, the Miao girl, looked him up and down: "Where are you from, waiter? You are so unfamiliar, we have never seen you before."
"Really?" The waiter smiled and suddenly opened the tea lid, and a strange stream of smoke came out.
The Miao maids froze, and their bodies instantly softened.
The doors of several tea rooms next to the private room suddenly opened, and several mysterious figures jumped out. They quickly supported the three fallen maids and dragged them into Shanna's tea room.
Ming Lanruo, who was dressed as a waiter, followed him into the tea room and looked around.
Sure enough, just as Zhaoyao had investigated, there was no one in Shanna's private room.
Ming Lanruo waved her hand, and immediately three women in black changed into the clothes of three maids and pretended to be them and stood guard outside the door.
Then, Ming Lanruo waved her hand calmly: "The rest of you, find the secret room!"
The other five or six people, led by Chen Ning and Jing Ming, immediately began to search the room, and sure enough, they found a special closed entrance behind a cabinet not long after.
Zhou, who was always the best at setting up traps, immediately stepped forward to explore, and within a quarter of an hour, a door was indeed opened.
It was dark inside the door, and the steps could be vaguely seen. It was clearly a secret passage.
Ming Lanruo motioned for everyone else to cover their faces and go in along the secret passage.
Chen Ning lit a special fire seal and walked in front, and everyone else followed with weapons and fire seals in hand.
The dark secret passage was winding and twisting. After walking for an unknown amount of time, a room that was not too wide suddenly appeared.
The room was lit with a dim, ever-burning lamp, and there was nothing except water on the ground. It was strange and cold, and only another door could be vaguely seen on the wall of the room.
Chen Ning looked around while holding the fire folder, and looked at each other with Ming Lanruo, who nodded towards him.
Chen Ning stepped through the stagnant water and opened the door on the wall of the room with Zhou Rugu.
Ming Lanruo and the rest of the people also walked through the stagnant water.
Amidst the splashing sound of stagnant water, many tiny dust-like things clung to everyone's boots silently.
Everyone's attention was on that door, and no one noticed those small things quietly crawling up their trouser legs.
When the door opened, it turned out to be a dark forest!
Ming Lanruo frowned slightly and looked around coldly: "This is Jingshan, the original royal garden. It is impossible for Aunt Agu to hide here."
There were soldiers patrolling every day, and the palace was right next to it. How could it be possible to set up a prison in a place like this and torture people every day to extract confessions?
"That's right, you are a smart person. You can't hide people here, but you can kill people here." A smiling female voice suddenly sounded.
