The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 385 The Night Trial
Coming out of Mrs. Wang's courtyard and returning to her study, just as Wang Wenqian sat down, Chu Ziwei walked in from the outside.

"Ah Lang, there are many people watching outside."

Wang Wengan smiled mockingly, "It must be Cui Quan's people, don't pay attention to them, just let them go."

Hmph, this old fox must want to find out Liu Yang's whereabouts from the palace, but unfortunately, he doesn't know where Liu Yang is either.

Flipping his wrist, Wang Wengan stared at the token in his hand, guessing in his mind where Cui Hengyue would hide Liu Yang?

It's better to hide it tightly, and don't let Cui Quan find it out before tomorrow morning
"Ah, Ah-"

Cui Hengyue sneezed twice, raised her hand to touch her nose, and said to herself: Could it be that someone is scolding her?
Changing his posture, resting his chin on his hand, he was thinking again: Seeing the birthday gift from her, why didn't the Princess Regent talk to her in private?
Did she guess wrong?
But no matter what, when the regent princess saw the birthday gift she gave her, her eyes were strange, which meant that the regent princess must know something inside.

It seemed that she had to find another chance to meet the princess regent.

After pondering for a while, Shui Rong said outside the door: "Yuanniang, it's time for dinner."

Cui Hengyue came to the dining hall, looking at the table full of delicious dishes, her appetite suddenly whetted.

After savoring it carefully, Cui Hengyue suddenly looked outside the door: "Is Song San back yet?"

Song San, that is, Song Zhuoxing, this is his public name in the Jingguo government.

Shui Rong replied: "Not yet."

Cui Hengyue's eyes were fixed, this is a bit tricky.

Liuyang was robbed, and my grandfather sent a large number of people to find people, but at the same time he was also investigating the people in the mansion. If his grandfather found out that the servant who had just entered the mansion had not returned for a day, his grandfather would definitely suspect Song Zhuoxing, maybe Still suspecting her.

No, she has to think of a foolproof reason to get this out of the way
Just as she was thinking, Mrs. Wen appeared outside the door.

Cui Hengyue watched her walk in with a stack of paper bags, her eyes lit up.

"Yuan Niang, this is what you told Song San to buy."

Afterwards, Mrs. Wen put the paper bag on the table next to her.

Cui Hengyue said happily: "Song San is back?"

"Yes."

Being able to send the things into the backyard meant that Song Zhuoxing had passed the interrogation by the mansion unharmed, and she didn't have to think about reasons anymore.

Feeling relieved, Cui Hengyue felt that she could still eat again, so she picked up the chopsticks and started eating again.

As the night gradually fell, the people in the Yasukuni Mansion gradually fell asleep.

Cui Hengyue seemed to wake up from a dream, and seemed to just close her eyes and rest on the bed. When the time came, she opened her eyes and got out of bed.

Put on your coat and go to the outer room. Mrs. Wen has been waiting for a long time.

"Did you squint for a while?" Cui Hengyue couldn't help asking seeing Mrs. Wen's energetic appearance.

Lady Wen shook her head: "I can't sleep."

After years of planning and waiting, today she finally had the opportunity to take a step forward. How could she sleep?

Cui Hengyue understood her state of mind after a little thought, and walked towards the window: "Let's go."

When she came to the window, she first gently opened a slit, looked out through the slit, and made sure that there was no one outside, then opened the window and jumped out.

Lady Wen followed closely behind. After jumping out of the window, she carefully closed the window.

Hiding in the darkness, the two cautiously walked through the corridor and came to a wing in the corner.

This was originally a utility room, but Cui Hengyue personally inspected every room and every corner when she first moved into Jinglanyuan. A secret room, which stored a lot of wine.

At that time, Mrs. Wen said: "I heard that the original third lady built this courtyard for you, but you were not born at that time, and your mother would never guess that her daughter will be a drunkard in the future.

"So I guess the wine in this collection must have been prepared by your mother for herself."

The more Cui Hengyue thought about it, the more she felt that Mrs. Wen was right. If it wasn't for her mother's love of drinking, why would she build a secret room here to store wine?
However, grandfathers and grandmothers certainly did not like their daughter-in-law to be a drinking woman.

Maybe, my father didn't like it either, so my mother did it.

In Yunxuan Temple, sometimes they can't even eat, let alone drink.

However, my mother was weak at that time and could not drink alcohol at all.
Cui Hengyue came back to her senses, and gently pushed open the door.

Lady Wen stood outside the door, carefully observed the surrounding situation, entered the room after confirming it was safe, and then closed the door.

Cui Hengyue pushed away the bulky old cabinet, opened the wooden boards, and a wooden staircase appeared in front of her.

She took out a night pearl, bent down and stepped on the stairs.

"Follow."

Cui Hengyue stood on the stairs at the entrance, looked back at Mrs. Wen, and lowered her voice involuntarily.

Lady Wen pushed the cabinet to the front as a cover, and then entered the secret passage.

"Where did this come from?" Lady Wen looked at the Ye Mingzhu in Cui Hengyue's hand.

Cui Hengyue stared at her feet, but she knew what Mrs. Wen was asking, so she answered in a low voice: "It was sent by the king of Changshan County."

A trace of surprise flashed in Mrs. Wen's eyes, and then she looked at her feet.

The king of Changshan County is so generous, he must have taken a fancy to Cui Hengyue
"arrive."

Cui Hengyue's voice brought Mrs. Wen's mind back, she stopped and looked straight ahead to the left.

There was someone there, Liu Yang whom she and Su Biwen had captured during the day.

Cui Hengyue and Mrs. Wen looked at each other, then slightly increased the sound of their footsteps, and walked towards Liu Yang step by step.

In fact, when Cui Hengyue and Mrs. Wen went down the stairs, Liu Yang heard the voice, but he was given medicine and his whole body was weak.

Not only that, his hands and feet were bound, his eyes were covered with a black cloth, and his mouth was also blocked, so he had no choice but to call for help.

But when he heard someone approaching him, he twisted his body desperately and let out a low whimper.

Suddenly, there was a chill on his neck, and he felt that his neck was being pressed against by a sharp weapon, and he stopped struggling immediately.

Cui Hengyue handed Ye Mingzhu to Mrs. Wen, fixed her eyes on Liu Yang, and said in an indistinguishable voice: "Don't shout loudly, or I will kill you."

She exerted a little force, and a thin bloodstain appeared on Liu Yang's neck.

Immediately, she took out the cloth ball from Liu Yang's mouth.

Feeling the wetness and pain in his neck, Liu Yang knew in his heart that the person who threatened him was not a soft-hearted person, as long as he shouted for help, he would definitely die.

"Well"

After not drinking water for a long time, his throat hurts when he opened his mouth, and Liu Yang swallowed with difficulty.

"Drink."

There was something more like the spout of a teapot on his lips, Liu Yang hurriedly lowered his head to drink water, "gurgling" until the teapot bottomed out, and then Liu Yang let go of his mouth.

"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"

His throat felt comfortable, and Liu Yang couldn't wait to inquire about the identity of the person who came.

Cui Hengyue still said in a disguised voice: "You are not qualified to ask questions, from now on, if I ask you, you must answer truthfully.

"otherwise."

She exerted a little force on her hands, and Liu Yang let out a cry of pain.
