imperial psychologist

Chapter 606
She was sitting alone in the room, holding a cross lock in her hand - this was given by Mr. Hengyuan when she left Qinyuan during the day.

This thing is really familiar to Boling. Here it is called a cross lock. In Boling's impression, it is also called Kongming lock and Luban lock. It is a toy that is easy to disassemble and difficult to install.

Mr. Hengyuan gave her two cross locks, one more complex and one simpler. Bai Ling has already disassembled and reassembled the simple version, and she plans to give this toy to Nian Nian later today.

"What are you doing?" Ai Songqing's voice suddenly came from the door, and Bo Ling turned around and saw her walking into the room with the piano on her back.

"I got a new toy." Bo Ling replied with a smile, "It's quite interesting."

Ai Songqing is really funny—Berling is still in the mood to sit here and play with these things at this time...

She went back to the room with Qin in her arms, and then sat beside Bai Ling, "I'll tell you something."

"Ok?"

"Hua Zihao's bustard, she made a special trip to chat with me today." Ai Songqing said softly, "She said that Lan Zihao probably messed with someone who shouldn't be messed with, and it might collapse within a month."

"Really." Bo Ling glanced at Ai Songqing, "Is she trying to poach the wall?"

"Well," Ai Songqing nodded, "She asked me if I would consider going to her place secretly."

"Wait for now." Bo Ling said softly, "I don't think the Lan brand will fall...at least not at this time."

"why?"

"...Because some people don't want to make things big." Bai Ling whispered, "If things get big and involve more past events, some people will lose face."

Bo Ling removed the last few pieces of wood that were spliced ​​together, only to hear a crash, and the remaining pieces of wood also fell on the table.

"Did you agree to the bustard of the fancy name?" Bo Ling asked.

Ai Songqing shook his head.

"Well... I'll make a bet too," Bo Ling said softly, "I can't guess that someone will take over Lanzihao in three days, and in all likelihood, it's someone with a strong background."

"Since you said that, then I have the bottom line in my heart." Ai Songqing sighed softly.

Bo Ling smiled and stood up, "It's rare to be free tonight, so you can accompany me downstairs."

"Where to go?"

"This small one, I want to give it to Niannian." Bo Ling shook the cross lock in his hand, "Let's go and play with Niannian for a while, shall we?"

Ai Songqing smiled and agreed immediately.

The two went out together. Although there were many checkpoints along the way, the officials did not make things difficult for Bo Ling. The roads in Lanzihao were empty and the houses were silent. All the laughter and singing and dancing came from afar. Above the head of the house, only the simplest lanterns are still hanging on the corner of the house.

Before reaching Baoyuan and Niannian's door, Bai Ling heard Niannian's heart-piercing cry. She and Ai Songqing looked at each other and laughed for a while—it seems that today is an unfortunate day, Just when Nian Nian loses his temper.

Pushing open the door, only Nian Nian and a maid named Lan are in the room.

The maid turned her head and saw that it was Bai Ling, as if she was relieved, "Look at you, you are crying so loudly, sister Bai Ling has come to see you too."

Nian Nian's crying stopped abruptly, she turned her head slightly to look at Bo Ling, tears still rolling in her eyes, "...but I want my mother."

"Baoyuan hasn't come back yet?" Bo Ling asked a little strangely, "Didn't all the work stop today?"

"That's right," the maid said softly, "We also asked someone to look for her. We couldn't find anyone in the back kitchen or in the houses of the newcomers. I don't know where she went."

"Nian Nian is not disobedient." Nian Nian cried in the maid's arms, "Mother said she would come back for dinner together, but Mother did not come back when the meal came!"

Only then did Bai Ling see the food box on the table. It seemed that the maid was here to deliver food today.

"Go down, leave this place to me," Bai Ling said softly, "you can ask someone to look for it, everyone is in the house today, maybe Bao Yuan was locked up somewhere by the officials, and she couldn't get away for a while .”

"Yeah." The maid nodded, "Then I will trouble the girl here."

"No trouble." Bo Ling said softly.

She took Nian Nian from the maid's arms, and then sat at the table with Ai Songqing. Bai Ling said softly, "Your mother told me before that she went out to work during the day and night, and you would stay at home obediently alone." , never let her worry...is that so?"

"Yeah!" Nian Nian nodded.

"Then why are you crying so much today?" Bai Ling whispered, "Did someone bully you?"

Nian Nian shook her head.

"Are you worried about your mother?"

"...Yes." The child nodded with tears in his eyes, "She promised to come back for dinner."

"Then sister will wait with you." Bai Ling said softly, "It's time now, let's not be hungry, shall we eat first?"

Nian Nian shook her head.

Bai Ling and Ai Songqing glanced at each other, and both sighed—the little girl really only recognizes her mother.

She took out the cross lock and put it in Nian Nian's hand. The child sniffed and played with the wooden lump in his hand. Although Nian Nian still insisted on not eating, her attention was quickly distracted by this new toy. attract.

The three of them stayed in the house until late at night, and Bai Ling realized that something was wrong—Bao Yuan would not have kept the child here for so long without making a sound, if it was because she was too busy with too many things at hand Come, I will definitely ask someone to come back and talk to Nian Nian, so that there will be no news like this.

"Nian Nian, do you know where your mother is going today?" Bai Ling asked suddenly.

The kid shook his head.

"Then what did your mother take before going out today?" Bai Ling asked again, "Do you remember this?"

"Hmm..." Nian Nian frowned, "I took a lot of money!"

This time it was Bai Ling's turn to frown - she originally wanted to guess Bao Yuan's whereabouts from Nian Nian's answer, but she never expected to get this answer.

"Why bring silver?"

Nian Nian suddenly closed her mouth tightly, then shook her head vigorously.

Bo Ling is very familiar with this expression - it's not Nian Nian's "don't know", but Nian Nian's "can't say".

Bo Ling's heart sank, and just as she was about to continue asking, there was a rather hasty knock on the door. Bo Ling got up to open the door, and someone whispered something in her ear.She froze slightly, then nodded, and replied, "Got it."

Ai Songqing stood up and followed, "What's wrong?"

"I want... to go out for a while." Bai Ling said softly, and she glanced at the child sitting on the bed playing with the cross lock, "Song Qing help me continue watching here for a while."

Ai Songqing quickly grabbed Bo Ling's sleeve, and whispered, "What's the matter, you can always talk to me."

"Sister Li..." Bai Ling's voice was very soft, "something happened."
