Chapter Seventeen Night Exploration of the Chu Mansion
After dinner, Qiaocui took care of the fourth lady and went to bed early.
The night was dark, the moon was bright, and even the birds that had been chirping during the day were quiet. The night sky was bright, and there were several stars twinkling, which were extremely bright. Shui Lian Yue had no time to take care of such a beautiful scenery.
She knows better than anyone the pain of cold air invading the body. It is simply unbearable. If it were not suppressed by the master's elixir, she would have died long ago because she could not bear it.
Shui Lianyue was dressed in white, practicing Qinggong. The night set off her beautiful appearance, with a strong chill, and was extremely cold and charming. Following closely behind her was Hongying, which was bright and dark, and appeared after a while.
Went to Shuifu and the cooperation was excellent.
Her Qing Kung Fu was passed down from her master. In the sea of clouds and blue waves, she was the first in the world, and no one dared to be the second. If it weren't for her innate cold body, which was not suitable for constant use of internal energy, otherwise the master would have already lost all his energy.
The lessons were taught one by one.[
This is what the master often sighs about. She has strange bones and is a born martial arts prodigy. It is a pity that she has such a body.
The two of them left the Shui Mansion and soon arrived at the Chu Mansion.
At dusk, Hongying had already been asked to inquire about it, so it was easy to find it this time.
The Chu Mansion, like the Shui Mansion, has luxurious and luxurious gates. Even the plaque with the word "Chu Mansion" engraved on it cannot be afforded by ordinary wealthy families. In the whole world, it is the royal land, and only in the imperial palace can such grandeur be carved.
's plaque.
However, the Chu Mansion was brightly lit with candles, and two red lanterns hung at the door. There were faint noises and the sound of silk and bamboo in the mansion, and it seemed that there was a happy event.
Shui Lianyue glanced at Hongying in confusion, because the news she got did not include this.
Hongying was also surprised when she saw this situation, "Miss, come here at dusk, there is nothing strange here."
"It's just this once, it won't happen next time." Shui Lianyue glanced sharply at Hongying, bypassed the gate of Chu Mansion and ran towards the backyard.
Hongying knew she had made a mistake and stopped talking. She knew the lady's temper best, she acted vigorously and resolutely, and absolutely did not allow any mistakes. This time she really violated the lady's most taboo thing.
Arriving at the backyard of the Chu Mansion, it was far different from the liveliness in the front yard. It was quiet here, not even a single person could be seen. Shui Lianyue, wearing white gauze on her cheeks and dressed in white, was walking through the mansion,
Like a ghost, quietly resting.
"It's not an option to continue searching like this, Hongying, go arrest someone and ask."
After walking for a long time, Shui Lianyue stopped. Maybe it was because the Chu Mansion was too big or because people were waiting in the front yard, but not even a ghost was seen. It was very puzzling.
"Yes", after Hongying received the order, she disappeared into the night.
Shui Lianyue seemed to have no expression, but in fact, the corners of Bai Shali's mouth had already turned up, revealing a very light, but very satisfied smile.
Hongying has been with her for three years, but has only been studying martial arts for more than a year. With Hongying's qualifications, if she hadn't practiced hard, she probably wouldn't be where she is now.
What did Shui Lianyue do in the past? She would not allow useful people around her to cause trouble and be a burden. However, at last she was not wrong about the person, Hongying was a talent.
After a while, Hongying came back, came close to Shui Lianyue, and said in a low voice: "Today is the ninetieth birthday of Mr. Chu. I didn't want to be high-key, but I didn't expect that in the evening, all the relatives and friends would come one by one.
To celebrate my birthday, people even came from the palace, so the Chu Mansion no longer wants to be high-profile."
"Then the young master of the Chu family has been found?"
Hongying raised her finger and pointed to the front yard and whispered: "I heard from the servant that everyone in the Chu mansion went to the front yard, including the servants and maids in the mansion." [
After hearing this, Shui Lianyue nodded with satisfaction and looked directly at the bright candlelight in the front yard. Her phoenix eyes suddenly burst out with a hint of sinisterness, but her cherry lips said lightly: "Very good."
"Did you find out about the young master of the Chu family's room?"
"I have found out. Turn left ahead and pass the lotus pond. There is a two-story attic. That is the residence of the second young master of Chu and the residence of the first young master of Chu. Just turn right ahead."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the white shadow of Shui Lianyue flying past in a flash. Seeing this, Hongying hurriedly followed.
By the way, this was Shui Lianyue's first time to enter an ancient man's room. It had round tables, cages and chairs, poems and murals, bookcases and desks, and everything else was no different except that it didn't have the pretty pink color in a woman's boudoir.
Hongying and Shui Lianyue searched for a long time, even searching under the bedding, but could not find the small bag with the elixir. The two of them had the same idea, and soon searched the room of Chu Yinan, the eldest son of Chu.
, but none were found.
At this time, Shui Lianyue's whole body was exuding a strong chill, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent. How could it be possible? How could it be possible? Could it be that her judgment was wrong? Impossible, absolutely impossible, in modern times or ancient times, Shui Lianyue
His thinking and judgment have never been wrong.
But now, no matter how she turned the Chu Mansion upside down, she still couldn't find it. Could it be that it was in the hands of the Mu family master? According to her recollection, the Mu family master did not get close. No matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to do it.
Retrieve items from a distance.
"What should I do? Miss, if I can't find it today, I only have one day left." At this time, although Hongying was wearing a mask, her words were full of anxiety and uneasiness. She didn't want to see the lady's cold aura anymore.
She had seen the attack once and would never forget it.
However, without that elixir, wouldn't the young lady's life be in danger?
