Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2285 Sure enough, there is something 1.0

Shen Cha stood at the gate of a small courtyard, looking at the gate thoughtfully and sighing softly. When she left here that year, she never thought that one day she would come back in this way.

Although this place has changed, the scale of this house or this small courtyard is much larger than their previous shabby house, and the houses of the neighbors on both sides have also been expanded, but just for a moment, this courtyard still made her a little breathless. However, it was only for a moment, and soon she returned to normal.

After calming down, she looked up at the plaque hanging on the door. On it were the words "Shen's House". However, the writing of these two words was not beautiful at all. They were crooked, as if they were written by a child who had just learned calligraphy.

Seeing the door plaque, Shen Cha couldn't help but smile. She still remembered how her brother "tricked" her into writing these two words.

"Why, seeing your masterpiece hanging here, being the center of attention every day, do you feel a little embarrassed?" Shen Haolin slowly walked to her side, held her hand, and looked at the door plaque. "Your hand had just healed, and you insisted on pestering me to practice calligraphy again, but the words you wrote were crooked and ugly. I remember the master couldn't help but cover her face when she saw your handwriting, and told you not to tell anyone that you were her last disciple."

"Brother, you still have the nerve to say that!" Shen Cha made a face at Shen Haolin, "You clearly know that I can't write well, but you still tricked me into writing this."

"Doesn't this look very childish?" Shen Haolin looked at the door plaque again, "If I ask you to write like this now, you won't be able to do it."

Shen Cha nodded, held Shen Haolin's hand, looked at the plaque on the door, and sighed softly.

However, before she could say anything, they heard a cough from behind them. The two turned around and saw Shen Jiu and Song Qiyun, who were wearing soft armor, looking at them helplessly.

"Why don't you stay at home so late at night and come here to look at the door plaque?" Shen Jiu and Song Qiyun put their arms around each other's shoulders and looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha with incredulous eyes. "My brother and sister really have unique interests."

"But." Song Qiyun picked up the lantern in his hand and looked at it carefully. "To be honest, the word 'sister' is indeed not that nice at first glance, but after looking at it for a long time, it is quite interesting and especially childlike." He patted Shen Jiu, "right?"

"Yeah!" Shen Jiu nodded, "It's really interesting."

Shen Cha looked at the two of them and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Aren't you two supposed to be on patrol? Why are you here?"

"We just turned around and saw two people standing here, so we came over to take a look. I didn't expect to hear you two talking about this door plaque and these words. You stayed up late at night just to see this?"

"I heard that the dungeon was broken into twice today. Have you found out anything, brother and sister? Could it be related to the place where sister lived back then?" Song Qiyun looked at Shen Haolin, then at Shen Cha, and saw the two people's expressions change. "Am I right?"

"I don't know, I just came to try my luck." Shen Cha rubbed Song Qiyun's face, pinched Shen Jiu's, and said, "You two should go on patrol. It would be bad if you delay the mission."

"But." Shen Jiu and Song Qiyun looked at each other, "You two don't have anyone with you. If you need help, it may be too late to find someone. Otherwise, how about one of us stay behind?"

Shen Cha thought about it and nodded at them, indicating that he agreed with this statement.

"Okay, which of you two wants to stay?"

"Xiaoyun, stay." Shen Jiu pushed Song Qiyun forward, "Brother, sister, I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, Shen Jiu ran away without looking back, fearing that Shen Haolin and Shen Cha would react, so he refused to stay for a moment.

"Jiu'er is really..." Shen Cha shook her head helplessly, "I haven't let it go yet, and I still resist this place very much." "I will let it go!" Shen Haolin patted Shen Cha and comforted her, "Let's go, let's go in!"

After saying that, Shen Haolin walked up, gently pushed open the gate of the courtyard, and waved to Shen Cha and Song Qiyun.

"bring it on!"

Shen Cha and Song Qiyun smiled at each other, then followed Shen Haolin into the yard.

"You are so careless, Brother Haolin!" Song Qiyun closed the door again after entering. "You didn't even put a lock on it, just for show. Aren't you afraid that some thieves will sneak in?"

"This is the property of the Duke's Mansion. The entire border should know about it, right?"

"That's right. Anyone who dares to break in here knowing that this is the property of the Duke's Mansion is a real man." Shen Cha chuckled and followed Shen Haolin to light up all the lanterns hanging in the yard. "Besides, there's nothing here, and there's nothing to steal, right?"

"That's right!" Song Qiyun stood in the courtyard and looked at the scenery inside. "Although our place can't compare to the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan, our own courtyard shouldn't be completely without scenery, right? This one is bare and doesn't look very nice!"

"No one lives here, so why make it so beautiful?" Shen Cha chuckled. "We should spend our money wisely. We shouldn't spend it on things that shouldn't be spent."

"Sister is right. If someone moves in, we will have enough time to clean up the place." Song Qiyun saw Shen Haolin and Shen Cha knocking on the bluestone bricks on the ground and asked in confusion, "What are they doing?"

"Looking for something!" Shen Cha smiled. "We learned from the people we arrested today that those two people had hidden something here, so we came here to try our luck."

"But weren't all the things in this yard packed up and sent to the small warehouse in the mansion during the renovation?" Song Qiyun looked around, "Could there be anything left behind?"

"How else can we say it's a matter of luck?" Shen Cha slowly stood up and sighed softly, "Old Five, come down!"

Song Qiyun was stunned when he heard Shen Cha's words. He looked around, but before he could react, Ying Wu landed silently beside him.

"Your Highness!" Ying Wu patted his shoulder gently. Seeing his eyes widened, he chuckled and said, "Are you scared?"

"When did you come? How come I didn't notice it at all?"

"He has been following us since we left the house." Shen Cha rolled her eyes. "This was Brother Xiaotian's idea, right?"

"Yes!" Ying Wu nodded, "The Marquis was worried, so he asked me to follow him. I was also worried, so..."

"We hit it off right away!" Shen Cha sighed softly and said, "Since you're here, just help! We just checked and found that there's some space underneath these pieces. Let's pry them open."

"Yes!"
