"Oh, sir, the old man is back." Mrs. Zhang saw Shangguan Feng'er's discomfort, and suddenly thought of what the housekeeper said before about the old man returning home.
"The old man is back, where is he?" Mu Qianqiu frowned and looked at Mrs. Zhang.
"Here," Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the housekeeper beside her, "where is the old man?"
The housekeeper couldn't help but said, "He was obviously still in the front hall just now."
"Oh, the old man always hides here and there every time he comes back. You guys go find him where he is." Mrs. Zhang thought for a while and spoke again.
"Old man, hiding here and there." Shangguan Feng'er paused. The old man they were talking about was not the old man in their room. Damn it, he was still poisoned by the laughter.
Laughing haha, it was like the powder in the incense burner she was knocking before. People who inhale the powder will be poisoned. The poisoned person will be extremely itchy. If it itches, they will scratch it. If the scratching is severe, the tissues of the body will be destroyed.
As a result, red spots will appear.
Everyone got busy looking for Mr. Mu, Yuan'er was also called, and Shangguan Feng'er found an excuse to go back to the yard. When he got to the door of the room, he hesitated and opened the door, only to see the old man sitting in front of the dressing table.
Playing with something.
Shangguan Feng'er walked into the room with her skirt in hand and closed the door behind her back, "Old man, what are you doing?" Many of her important things were placed there, and she regretted that she had just let him stay alone in the house.
"What are you doing?" The old man turned around, holding a jade flute in his hand, and faced Shangguan Feng'er.
This frightened Shangguan Feng'er so much that she saw the old man's face was full of red envelopes. Looking from a distance, he looked like a strawberry man, which was very scary.
But the next moment, Shangguan Feng'er almost screamed, "You, you are that old man."
The old man looked at the jade flute in his hand and nodded thoughtfully, "So you are that girl." After saying that, he looked up at Shangguan Feng'er again.
It turned out that the old man was the old man who gave Shangguan Feng'er the jade flute before. It was Shangguan Feng'er's first time out of the palace, a few days before the opening of the Red Mansion, and he saw this jade flute on the street and liked it.
He wanted to buy it, but the old man was asking for a high price, so Shangguan Feng'er cut it with all his might. Even after cutting for a long time, he couldn't lower the price.
In the end, Shangguan Feng'er used his bargaining chip. Unexpectedly, the old man actually gave the jade flute to Shangguan Feng'er. Shangguan Feng'er was not convinced at first, but when she believed it, the old man was nowhere to be seen.
"Old man, you're not here to ask for money. I'll give you whatever you want." Shangguan Feng'er lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then took the jade flute from the old man's hand with one hand: she still liked this jade flute.
The old man ignored Shangguan Feng'er, stood up directly, reached out and poked the red tear on Shangguan Feng'er's forehead, "Little girl, how did you get that thing on your head? It's very pretty."
Shangguan Feng'er frowned, knocked the old man's restless hand away with one hand, and took a pill with the other hand, "Old man, take this."
"What is this? You are trying to poison me again." The old man took the pills and looked at Shangguan Feng'er uncertainly, hesitating.
"Hey, no way." Seeing the old man acting like this, Shangguan Feng'er smiled unconsciously.
"Hey, by the way, little girl, how did you come to my house?" The old man swallowed the pill and looked at Shangguan Feng'er in confusion.
"Your family." Shangguan Feng'er looked at the old man: Sure enough, this old man is the old man mentioned by the housekeeper of the Mu Mansion, that is, the old man Mu who everyone outside is looking for.
"Oh, haha, no, it's the Mu family." The old man knew he had said something wrong and quickly corrected it.
