The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 318 Visitation
The setting sun slanted to the west, and the afterglow sprinkled on the saber, the cold light was so cold that it made one's heart tremble.

The guard approached the tree lightly, and the closer he got to the tree, the faster his heart beat.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed out from behind the tree, and the guard subconsciously slashed at the shadow with a knife.

However, the knife missed by an inch, and the black shadow screamed and fled quickly.

"Squeak-"

"It turned out to be a mouse."

After seeing clearly the true face of the black shadow, the guard couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"I've seen Mrs. Bai and Commander Bai."

There was movement at the door, and the guard quickly put away his saber and ran over.

"I've seen Mrs. Bai and Commander Bai."

Mrs. Cui glanced at the guards who ran over, and said loudly: "The old lady lost her bracelet, the whole house must be searched.

"You guys search Jinglan Garden quickly, you can't let go of a single place."

The guards led the way.

Bai Qi ordered someone to bring a chair: "Madam, please sit down."

Mrs. Cui nodded at him: "Commander Bai has a heart, you can do what you have to do, and don't worry about me."

"Yes." Bai Qi resigned and joined the search queue.

He went straight to the room where Mrs. Wen was held, and ordered the guards: "Open the door."

The guard unlocked the lock and pushed open the door.

Bai Qi walked in and quickly scanned the room. When he saw Mrs. Wen sitting on the bed, his expression didn't change. He looked away with just one glance, and began to search for things.

Lady Wen watched silently without speaking, until Bai Qi finished searching and ordered someone to lock the door, then she got up and left the bed, walked to the door softly, and put her ear against the door to listen to the movement outside.

The guards outside are still searching.

After a stick of incense, the guards came back to report to their orders.

"Report to Da Furen, but I haven't found it."

"We didn't find either"

Mrs. Cui stood up: "Go to the next place to search."

After finishing speaking, she went out, but instead of following Bai Qi to the next place, she brought her own people back to the big room.

After Cui Yongxuan left the front courtyard, he returned to the main courtyard of the third bedroom.

Seeing him coming back, Mrs. Liu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, trying to find out the news: "Third Master, what did the old lady tell you to do?"

"It's nothing, it's just a conversation." Cui Yongxuan said lightly.

Mrs. Liu was not suspicious, and continued to inquire: "Commander Bai led people to search the whole house, and said that the old lady lost her bracelet.

"Third Master, what kind of bracelet did the old madam lose to inspire so many people?"

Cui Yongxuan recalled his mother's actions at that time, and replied calmly: "It is the bracelet that my mother wears on her wrist all the year round. It is a betrothal gift between father and mother."

No wonder it is so motivating.

Mrs. Liu didn't doubt anymore, but she started to inquire about Cui Hengyue's news again: "The third master came from Fuhai Courtyard, did you hear from the old lady that Yuan Niang made any mistakes? When will she be locked up?"

When she said this, there was a glint of schadenfreude in Liu's eyes.

This scene did not escape Cui Yongxuan's eyes, he suddenly remembered that Cui Hengyue wanted to help Wu Lang, and immediately felt that Liu's face was hideous.

"It's just a few words against the elders, and it came out soon."

After saying that, Cui Yongxuan stood up and walked out.

Mrs. Liu was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted: "Master, where are you going? It's time for dinner."

"Use it yourself." Cui Yongxuan's voice came from the wind.

Liu Shi stomped her feet angrily.

"Third Master." The guard saw Cui Yongxuan and quickly saluted.

Cui Yongxuan raised his head, and ordered arrogantly: "Open the door."

The guard hesitated for a moment: "Third Lord, the Lord has an order that no one is allowed to visit."

He looked at Wei Jiang who was behind Cui Yongxuan again, and his gaze stayed on the food box in Wei Jiang's hand: "You are not allowed to send food to Yuan Niang."

Cui Yongxuan immediately put on a serious face: "Yuanniang is my daughter, what if I bring her some food? If she suffers from hunger, I will be the first to kill you."

Hearing this, the guard flinched and hurried to open the door.

After the door opened, Cui Yongxuan told Wei Jiang to wait outside, then took the food box from him and walked into the room.

"Yuanniang, I'm here to see you."

Cui Yongxuan showed a fatherly smile, took out the food in the food box, and put it on the table next to him.

He thought that he was so considerate to his daughter, lest she would be very hungry, she would be very touched, and then offered the portrait with both hands.

However, Cui Hengyue watched him busy with cold eyes, and said in a low tone: "The murderer killed the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the morning, but he has not been found by the government until now, either he has already left the city, or he is hiding in a very safe place in the city .

"If I were the father, I would send someone to look for it quickly. Otherwise, after a long time, the murderer would escape, and Wu Lang would have lost a chance to win Shangshu Sun's respect."

Cui Yongxuan froze, then picked up a plate of elbows, took a pair of chopsticks and walked towards Cui Hengyue.

"Yuan Niang, you must be starving, right? Come, have some food first, and we'll talk about anything after dinner."

As she said, she held an elbow and handed it to Cui Hengyue's mouth: "Come, take a bite."

Cui Hengyue was stunned.

For a moment, she looked at the kind smile on Cui Yongxuan's face, as if seeing her mother smiling at her, very kind and warm.

The smell from the elbow made her swallow unconsciously, she just wanted to open her mouth to take a bite of the meat of the elbow, chew it, and swallow it.

Under the temptation of delicious food, Cui Hengyue couldn't help opening her mouth.

However, in the next moment, she turned her face away and said coldly: "What does it matter if I'm hungry or not? Anyway, it's my daughter who is going to marry.

"It's a pity that my fifth younger brother, who clearly had the opportunity to win the appreciation of the chief examiner, lost this opportunity in vain because of his father's inaction."

"Snapped!"

The elbow fell off and fell on the plate, and the soup splashed Cui Yongxuan's face.

Cui Hengyue looked at him coldly, and continued: "Father has participated in the scientific examination, so he should know that it is not easy to be a Jinshi. Although Wulang's knowledge is good, he is not as good as the other famous families in Beijing.

"He studies so hard, don't you have the heart to see him fail next year?"

Cui Yongxuan's expression changed immediately, he put the plate and chopsticks on the table, raised his sleeve to wipe off the soup on his face.

Afterwards, he walked up to Cui Hengyue: "If I persuade the old lady to let you go, will you give me the portrait of that person?"

"No"

Cui Hengyue ignored Cui Yongxuan's livid face, and said slowly: "Not only should I be released, but I should also be ordered to cancel my previous punishment, and I am not allowed to be punished for this matter again.

"Let me go back to Jinglanyuan, treat my injuries, and not punish the people in Jinglanyuan. After doing this, I will draw a portrait immediately."

Cui Yongxuan thought for a while, and said decisively: "Okay, just wait."

Before he finished speaking, he rushed out of the room like a gust of wind.

He ran to Mrs. Cui, told Mrs. Cui Hengyue what Cui Hengyue told him, and said: "Mother, what Yuan Niang said is right, if you drag it on, the murderer may run away, please give her an order to let her out."

"No." Mrs. Cui refused.

"Mother--"

Cui Yongxuan was anxious: "Don't you just want to lock her up? What's the difference between letting her go back to Jinglanyuan and not letting her out of the house and locking her up?
"Wu Lang is already engaged to Governor Ma's daughter, if he can get a Jinshi next year and then marry Governor Ma's daughter, it will be double happiness.

"Don't you love Goro the most? Why don't you want to do this little thing for him?"

Mrs. Cui choked for a moment, stared at her most beloved son for a while, and finally compromised.
