The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 456 The Man Hiding in the Dark
After 15 years, Achang still remembers what happened that day.

He still remembered the panic expression of the third master at that time, and the scene of the third master falling several times during the process of scaring away.

At that time, he was also very scared. If he failed to protect the master, he would definitely be punished, but he was even more worried that the third master would blame him for all the faults, so he kept praying in his heart that the little master would not have an accident.

Maybe God heard his prayer, when he went to sniff, he felt a faint breath, the little master was not dead.

"Third Master, the little master is still angry"

Achang got up and was about to chase after Cui Yongxuan when his calf suddenly felt pain and he fell to the ground.

Someone plotted against him.

A Chang glanced around, there was no one there, only the sound of the wind wafting in his ears.

"Is it my illusion?"

Achang doubted himself, he got up again and wanted to chase Cui Yongxuan, but he fell down again after taking a step.

There was something on the sole of his foot, and he stepped on it.

He looked around and found a stone lying not far away. He walked over, picked up the stone and put it in his hand to look at it.

The stones are round, with smooth edges, not like stones on the side of the road, but more like polished stones.

The mansion is cleaned every day, whether it is a spacious avenue or a path that no one walks on weekdays, there will be no such stones.

This stone must be a foreign object, and it was a hidden weapon used by someone to prevent him from reporting the letter.

Thinking of this, Achang pretended not to notice anything, and shouted to chase in the direction where Cui Yongxuan disappeared: "Third Master, little master... ah."

The sole of the foot seemed to have stepped on something, slipped, and Achang fell down again.

This time, he quickly got up and rushed to the Storm Pavilion not far away.

"Who is hiding there? Get out of here quickly"

Before Achang rushed to the storm pavilion, he saw the person hiding inside climb over the railing and run away.

"So, that person is the big clock?" Cui Hengyue asked after listening.

A Chang hesitated for a moment, and his tone was a little uncertain: "When I chased him, I only saw his side face, and I only took one look, and then he ran away."

Cui Hengyue was a little impatient, and asked: "Is that a big clock?"

"I think so, but not sure."

"."

Cui Hengyue was a little speechless, so she could only ask: "Then who is this big clock?"

Achang replied truthfully: "The big bell is the follower of the fourth master, and it is also a gift from the Duke of the country to the fourth master."

Fourth uncle's person?

Cui Hengyue was a little surprised, she didn't expect that fourth uncle would be involved in this matter, she thought for a while, and then asked: "How does fourth master treat Dazhong?"

"Ah..." Achang recalled it carefully: "It should be said that I trust it."

That is the confidant.

Cui Hengyue had an idea: "Tell me about Fourth Master and Da Zhong."

"Yes."

Achang paused for a moment, then said slowly: "About when the fourth master was 13 years old, the big clock was given to the fourth master by the Duke of the Kingdom."

After a stick of incense, Cui Hengyue came out of the room and told Shui Fu: "Change him to another place."

When the carriage left, Yao Shisan looked back and saw two big men dressed as farmers walking towards the farm. He guessed in his heart that the two farmers must have something to do with Cui Hengyue.

Back at Duke Yasukuni's mansion, Cui Hengyue got out of the carriage, called Yao Shisan to her side, and asked him, "Do you still want your family's previous property?"

Yao Shisan was a little confused: "What do you mean by that?"

"If you want it, I'll help you get it back. In the future, you can manage it well, marry a wife, and live your life well." When Cui Hengyue said this, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

But Yao Shisan felt that her smile was very cold, "Are you trying to drive me away?"

Thinking of the place he went to just now, Yao Shisan hurriedly assured: "Don't worry, I won't say a word about you."

"I'm not worried about this." Cui Hengyue said.

"Then what are you worried about?"

"I..." Cui Hengyue paused, and shifted her gaze slightly: "I'm not worried about anything, I just think it's your thing, as a friend, I should help you get it back."

Yao Shisan: "My things, I will get them back myself."

"Okay." Cui Hengyue turned and left.

Shui Rong didn't leave, she lowered her voice and said to Yao Shisan: "The little lunatic also has good intentions, don't let her down."

Yao Shisan didn't understand, and when he was about to ask, Shui Rong also left.

"What happened to them today?" Yao Shisan's face was full of doubts. At this time, he missed the days when Su Biwen was by his side very much.

There used to be Su Biwen by his side. Although he and Su Biwen didn't like each other, they could sit down and discuss things when they encountered problems. Unlike now, there is no one around him to discuss.

Ugh--

Yao Shisan sighed deeply.

Suddenly a beautiful image flashed in his mind, his eyes lit up, maybe there was someone around him who could discuss it.

"Go and ask Vice Commander Liu to come over."

Cui Hengyue had just finished ordering, and told Shui Rong: "Let him avoid people."

Shui Rong said yes and went to invite someone.

Half an hour later, Liu Yang avoided the people in the mansion and came to a certain wing in Jinglan Garden.

"Yuan Niang called me, what's your order?" While Liu Yang was speaking, he did not forget to listen to the movement outside.

"Don't worry, it's safe here."

After Cui Hengyue comforted him, she expressed her intention: "I want to ask you about someone. There used to be a servant next to Fourth Master, named Da Zhong. Do you know him?"

big clock?

Liu Yang nodded: "I know, but he died 15 years ago."

Died 15 years ago?
Isn't this timing too coincidental?

Cui Hengyue asked: "Did he die after I was born?"

Liu Yang thought about it carefully: "Yes, I heard that he contracted a serious disease, and the corpse was sent out of the house overnight and burned."

Burn the corpse?
It's clearly murder.

Cui Hengyue was angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it: "Before I was born, what was the relationship between the third master and the fourth master?"

Liu Yang noticed what she called her father, but didn't point it out, and only answered her question: "Fourth Lord has a low status, although he is full of talent, he never shows it in the mansion, he is very low-key and humble.

"Although the uncle, the second master, and the third master don't like the fourth and fifth masters who are concubines, they seldom embarrass the fourth master, because the fourth master is modest and tactful, and never offends anyone."

Cui Hengyue noticed Liu Yang's words: "It's rare to embarrass Fourth Master, but it will still embarrass Fourth Master. In other words, there are conflicts between Fourth Master and Third Master, and there may be hatred between them."

Hate?

Liu Yang thought about it again: "Hate shouldn't be a thing, right? It's just that the old lady dotes on the third master, and the Duke of the country values ​​the elder master. Although the fourth master is excellent, he is inevitably jealous.

"If it's because of jealousy, it's not surprising that they quarrel on weekdays, but they will never kill and set fire because of hatred. After all, they are brothers."

Cui Hengyue was silent for a moment, and changed the question: "Then before and after I was born, was there a quarrel between the third master and the fourth master? Or did something unpleasant happen?"

Why did Yuan Niang ask about the matter between the fourth master and the third master?
Did fourth master do something to offend third master?
Liu Yang hid his doubts in his heart, and answered honestly: "I remember, a few days before the third wife gave birth, the mansion was peaceful, and the five brothers, including the uncle and the second master, gathered together to drink and talk happily.

"After the third wife and the second wife, the fourth wife, and the fifth wife gave birth, the third master because of..."

Speaking of this, Liu Yang raised his head and glanced at Cui Hengyue, seeing that her expression hadn't changed, he continued: "Because of the pain of bereavement, the third master stayed in the room and didn't come out, all the affairs are handled by the old lady.

"The fourth master didn't come out either, and stayed in the room to take care of the fourth lady.

"However, each house sent people to send congratulatory gifts to the newborn, and it was at that time that Dazhong contracted a serious illness and died.

"There are many happy events in the mansion. When a servant dies, he dies. No one cares. Afterwards, Fourth Master gave his family a pension.

"Later, the people in the mansion gradually forgot about the big bell, and the family of the big bell also left the capital."

After listening to Liu Yang's words, Cui Hengyue was absolutely certain that her brother's death had something to do with fourth master Cui Yonglin.
