The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 458

The footsteps were hurried, and the crowd poured into the courtyard gate.

"There's someone there." The guard who ran at the front shouted, pointing to the distance.

Everyone ran over to help the person lying on the ground, only to find that it was Yuyi next to the Fourth Madam.

"Tonight is Yuyi's night duty."

Bai Xinyuan came to his senses, and quickly ordered: "You guys hurry up and chase after him."

Then he said to the rest of the guards: "Search the entire fourth room, don't miss any place."

"Yes."

The guards act independently.

Bai Xinyuan took Yuyi back to the guard's room, picked up a pot of cold tea and poured it on her head.

"Ah, who is it you?" Yuyi was woken up, and opened her mouth to curse, but when her eyes met Bai Xinyuan's cold eyes, her anger was instantly extinguished.

With a sullen face, Bai Xinyuan interrogated her: "Who broke into the fourth lady's room and kidnapped you?"

"I do not know."

Seeing that Bai Xinyuan's eyes became fierce, as if he didn't believe her, Yuyi hurriedly explained: "I really don't know who kidnapped me, I didn't see his face, I just know that I was thrown on the ground when I woke up. On the ground, I only saw the man in black clothes in a hurry."

Bai Xinyuan still didn't believe it, took a piece of soldering iron from the fire and approached Yuyi: "It seems that you are not going to tell the truth."

Yuyi's face turned pale with fright, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Everything I said is true, not a single lie, true, please believe me."

As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed, one after another, his forehead turned red after a while.

Bai Xinyuan watched indifferently, and he didn't stop until Yuyi was dizzy from knocking.

"Is it a man or a woman who kidnapped you? How many people are there?"

Yuyi propped her hands on the ground, trying not to let herself fall down: "There is only one person, and he covers his face. I don't know if he is a man or a woman."

"What did that man say to you?"

"No."

Bai Xinyuan held the soldering iron close to her face again: "If you're still dishonest, then don't blame me for being cruel."

"Ah, don't come here, what I said is true, true, I didn't lie to you." Yuyi screamed.

The soldering iron approached step by step, and was about to touch her face, Yuyi couldn't bear the fear in her heart anymore, and passed out.

Really timid.

Bai Xinyuan put down the soldering iron and left the room.

Not long after, the guards came to report: "No one was found."

The guards who went after the man in black also returned empty-handed.

Bai Xinyuan pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Strengthen your defense, and report to me in time if there is any disturbance."

"Yes."

After Shui Rong followed Cui Hengyue back to the room, her heart was still beating fast. The secret guards of the Yasukuni Mansion should not be underestimated, they were almost discovered just now.

"Yuanniang, I think it's better to find an excuse to go to the fourth room openly in the future. It's too dangerous to do so."

If they are found out, it will be all over for them.

Cui Hengyue's face was full of melancholy: "It's useless, my grandfather has already strictly ordered anyone to go to the fourth room, no matter what excuse I make, I can't get in."

Shui Rong's expression suddenly became depressed.

"However, tonight is not without gains."

Hearing this sentence, Shui Rong's eyes lit up: "You have gained something? What gain?"

At that time, she followed Cui Hengyue's instructions and went in another direction. Because she was not familiar with the terrain, she was very careful, so that when the appointed time came, she got nothing.

The man in gray appeared in Cui Hengyue's mind, so she told Shui Rong about her confrontation with the man in gray: "Now that I think about it, the man in gray should be lurking outside the fourth lady's room.

"The reason why he waited until I was some distance away from the Fourth Madam's room before doing anything was because he didn't want to disturb the Fourth Madam.

"And he didn't ask for help loudly, and he didn't dare to make a big noise. He just wanted to save Yuyi, probably because he was afraid of being discovered."

Shui Rong was a little puzzled: "From what you said, this person is probably from the fourth house, so who is he afraid of being discovered?"

"Forehead"

Cui Hengyue thought for a while: "It should be because he was afraid that Bai Xinyuan would find out, that's why he ran away after hearing the footsteps."

That man ran faster than her, obviously because he was afraid of being discovered by Bai Xinyuan.

"Why is he afraid of being discovered by Bai Xinyuan? Bai Xinyuan is in charge of guarding the fourth room. He should know the situation of the fourth room the most."

While talking, Shui Rong suddenly thought of a possibility: "Yuanniang, do you think this person is from the fourth master?

"Think about it, he purposely waited for you to be far away from the fourth lady's room before doing anything, he was clearly protecting the fourth lady, and in the fourth room, the one who cares about the fourth lady the most is the fourth master.

"Besides, fourth master was once very favored by the Duke of the country. Given his status, it's normal for him to have tall people around him."

If there is no expert around to help, how can a bastard be safe and sound in the man-eating duke's mansion?

Cui Hengyue followed her train of thought and thought for a while: "If this is the case, no one in the mansion should know the existence of the man in gray except Fourth Master."

The man in gray is Cui Si's trump card.

The more Cui Hengyue thought about it, the more she felt that Cui Si's city was very deep. She was able to escape from the death of her compatriot brother, and survived the wrath of the Queen Mother for 15 years. It was really not an easy person.

"It seems that I still have to find a way to go to the fourth room."

Hearing this, Shui Rong's face suddenly changed: "You still want to go? Don't you forget that we were almost discovered just now?"

"No, I won't go." Cui Hengyue shook her head, and said to Shui Rong with a hint of cunning: "I'll ask someone else to help me find out."

Shui Rong was puzzled and asked, "Who do you want to go?"

Cui Hengyue blinked mysteriously: "You will know tomorrow."

On the second day, Bai Xinyuan told his uncle what happened last night.

Bai Qi felt that something was wrong, and told his nephew: "Go back first, strengthen your defense, don't make any noise about it, and wait until I ask the Duke for instructions."

"Yes, that nephew will leave first." Bai Xinyuan left.

Bai Qi didn't stay, and went into the study to report the matter to Cui Quan.

After leaving the office that day, Cui Yongxuan was so tired that he collapsed on the couch, motionless.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and they entered the study in the blink of an eye.

"Third Master, I found a letter outside the study just now, it's for you." Ming Da held up the letter high.

Cui Yongxuan was still lying down, without even opening his eyes: "What letter? I'll read it later, you go out."

"Third Master, take a look."

Under Ming Da's repeated urging, Cui Yongxuan opened his eyes unwillingly, cursing and saying: "Stinky boy, do you have itchy skin?"

When his eyes touched the red color on the letter, Cui Yongxuan was startled, and stepped back again and again: "What is this?"

"Letter." Ming Da answered truthfully.

"No, I'm asking why there is something red on the letter? What is that red thing?"

Ming Da had already checked it, and now he answered calmly: "Oh, that's blood."

Blood?

Cui Yongxuan's face turned pale, and he waved his hands again and again: "What are you doing with these pickled things? Why don't you throw them away?"

Ming Da was a little speechless: "Third Lord, it says to be opened by you personally, why don't you open it and have a look?"

"dont see."

Cui Yongxuan looked disgusted, and ordered Mingda: "Throw it away quickly, no, burn it."

".Yes." Mingda took the order and left.
