The first thousand two hundred and fifty-seven chapters lead him to take the bait
Ye Fuxun was also sure, he nodded and said: "I think Zhou Yang must be going to steal the treasure map when he enters the study. I'm afraid he has colluded with Yu Xiunan. But, I can't figure out why he did this.
That’s why.”
Bai Yuxian said thoughtfully: "I think Yu Xiunan must have agreed to give him great benefits."
After a pause, Ye Fuxun said: "How about we use a trick and pretend we don't know anything to lure him into taking the bait?"
Bai Yuxian raised her lips and smiled and said: "That's exactly what I thought. It seems that Ye'er and I really have a good understanding."
Ye Fuxun glanced at him with a smile, and hummed softly: "What kind of telepathy is there? This only shows that my mental sensitivity is no less than yours. Whatever you can think of, I can also think of."
Bai Yuxian held Ye Fuxun's soft hand tightly, and said seriously and jokingly: "I see, that boy Situ Yunhao does have some thoughts about you. Whenever I see him staring at you tenderly,
, I don’t feel very comfortable here.
Otherwise, if you have nothing to do in the future, you'd better come to see him less often, lest he become more interested in you and think about you for the rest of his life."
Ye Fuxun looked at him dumbfounded and said, "How could it be as serious as you said? We have only known each other for a few days? How could we still miss him so much?"
"I'm not exaggerating at all." Bai Yuxian said, "Besides, I am always a stingy person when it comes to things like this. If someone covets my woman, I will be indifferent, so what's the point?"
The two walked while chatting, and finally decided to tell the old owner about Zhou Yang first.
After listening to Ye Fuxun's words, the old village owner was surprised. Zhou Yang was his apprentice. The master and apprentice had been together for more than ten years. He had already regarded Zhou Yang as half his son.
Now I actually heard that he had betrayed me. While I was shocked and angry, I couldn't help but feel sad.
"Grandpa, we are just speculating now, and we are not completely sure that it is really Butler Zhou," Ye Fuxun said in a comforting tone, "but just in case, we should be on guard against him."
The old village owner nodded sadly and said, "Have you already thought of a countermeasure? Why not tell us?"
Ye Fuxun and Bai Yuxian looked at each other, and then said: "We think we can use the trick and prepare a fake treasure map to lure him into taking the bait.
If he really steals it and gives it to the second prince, it will prove that he really has a problem, and he can also confuse the second prince. What do you think, grandpa?"
"This is a very good method. I'll do as you say." The old village owner made up his mind. If Zhou Yang really did such a thing, he would have no choice but to expel him from the school.
The guards at the villa were strengthened a lot, and Situ Yunhao recuperated in the villa every day and no longer went out alone. Zhou Yang didn't find the opportunity to kill him again. Time passed slowly and everything was as usual.
It seemed that no one suspected him. He was just too worried before, so his mind slowly calmed down.
After searching for a long time in the old village owner's study and finding nothing, Zhou Yang thought that the treasure map might be hidden somewhere else.
He racked his brains and thought about all the places in Zhuangzi, and felt that apart from the study room, the most likely place to hide the treasure map was the Song family's ancestral hall.
The memorial tablets enshrined in the ancestral hall are the ancestors of the Song family and the deceased, and the treasure map is something left by the ancestors, so it is natural to hide it there.
That night, in the dead of night, Zhou Yang put on his night clothes and came to the ancestral hall. There were always people guarding the door, but they were all servants with mediocre martial arts skills, so Zhou Yang didn't need to take them seriously.
However, in order not to arouse suspicion, he chose to use smoke to stun people, making them think that they had just dreamed when they woke up.
After the four guard servants all fainted, Zhou Yang opened the door and walked into the ancestral hall. He searched everywhere and finally found a small hidden compartment on the wall behind the incense burner.
He thought that his actions were secretive and that no one would know about it, but he didn't expect that there were three pairs of eyes in the dark corner, and they saw all his actions.
"Sure enough, your suspicions are right." The old village owner's tone was full of disappointment. The apprentice he had taught for more than ten years turned out to be a person of such character. He really didn't know how to feel.
"I believe that soon, he will find an opportunity to hand over the treasure map to the second prince. Grandpa, in order to hide it from the second prince, he can only pretend to know nothing for the time being. Butler Zhou's place..."
The old owner said: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion on this point."
Situ Yunhao was not good at hiding things, and the less people knew about the treasure, the better. Therefore, the old village owner and others did not tell him the truth, but said that they had made a mistake before and that the person who wanted to kill him that day was not
Zhou Yang is a member of the Jianghu from outside the village.
Situ Yunhao was happy to accept this "fact" and soon forgot about it.
When Ye Fuxun left the capital, although the emperor allowed her to come to Maple Grove Villa, he gave her a deadline and told her to return within a month.
Now it has been nearly half a month in the villa. Including the seven days to come and the seven days to go back, the time is almost the same. So two days later, Ye Fuxun said goodbye to the old owner of the villa and set off back to Beijing with Bai Yuxian.
Less than a day after returning to the eldest princess's mansion, Yu Xiunan took the initiative to come to the door.
In the morning, just as Ye Fuxun was preparing to enter the palace to see the emperor, Yu Xiunan came.
"Brother Second Emperor, why are you so leisurely today that you have time to come here?" Ye Fuxun led Yu Xiunan through the door.
Yu Xiunan looked around while walking and said with a smile: "There are no government affairs to deal with today. I have nothing to do, so I came to talk to Liu Mei. Isn't Liu Mei not welcome?"
Ye Fuxun said against his will: "How could it be? The second emperor brother is willing to show his favor, so I will certainly welcome him."
After sitting down in the flower hall, Yu Xiunan said with a sigh: "I haven't been to the Princess's Mansion for many years. I didn't expect that every plant and tree here is still the same as before. It hasn't changed much."
Ye Fuxun disagreed: "How come it hasn't changed? More than ten years ago, the eldest princess and the little princess lived here, and it was bustling every day. But now that the owner is away, the place is deserted."
Yu Xiunan nodded and smiled: "That's true, as the saying goes, things change and people change." Soon, he changed the subject, "Isn't Prince Chen in the house?"
Ye Fuxun replied: "He was invited by the fourth and fifth emperor brothers to go hunting outside the city. He just left not long ago. Why, the second emperor brother has something to do with him?"
Yu Xiunan shook his head: "No, it's just right that King Chen is not here. There are some things that would be difficult to say directly if he were here."
"Is it about Maple Grove Villa and the treasure?" Ye Fuxun asked directly. This matter had already been discussed at Maple Grove Villa, so there was no need to beat around the bush.
