safe house

Chapter 289
"Hallmaster Wang!" The owner of the wonton stall saluted respectfully.

Hall Master Wang raised his brows, "Did you find anything?"

"No!" The owner of the wonton stall shook his head and said bitterly.When those few people saw the commotion below, they avoided it, just like the others.

After pondering for a while, he boldly asked: "Master, maybe we really think too much."

Hall Master Wang was also not sure, the Commander did not agree with him to do this, but if he didn't do anything, his heart was still not at ease.

But after it was done, I felt even more uneasy.

With a straight face, he scolded in a deep voice: "Are you accusing me of not investigating them?"

The owner of the wonton stall quickly lowered his head, "The subordinates dare not!"

Hall Master Wang waved his hands impatiently, "Go out!" What should I say and what should I say? I don't need to ask more, right? !
This idiot, don't know if he understands what I mean? !

Hall Master Wang gritted his teeth secretly as he faced the back of the owner of the wonton stall.

He glanced sideways at the window of Luo Mingchuan's room, shook his head, then turned and walked into the alley.

After not taking a few steps, he stopped, and looked at Xia Lu who was standing prettyly opposite, his brows furrowed unconsciously.

Xia Lu smiled and bowed her knees, "It seems that your Excellency knows me?! This is something my girl gave to your master, please bring it with you."

After the words fell, he handed the brocade box in his hand to Hall Master Wang.

Hall Master Wang's hand sank, before Xia Lu could speak, Xia Lu had already left lightly.

Looking at the slender and tall figure, Hall Master Wang's heart felt cold: Is this considered to be shooting yourself in the foot?
After returning, will the commander twist his head off and kick it as a ball?
Hall Master Wang gently placed the brocade box on the table with great anxiety: "Commander, this is from the woman named Xia Lu..."

Speaking of this, I suddenly got stuck, my mind went blank, and I couldn't remember the words I had prepared.

"What is this?" The commander's puzzled eyes were full of curiosity, and then his face darkened, "You went to find her? Who told you to go to her? What qualifications do you have to go to her?"

"No, no, no!" Hall Master Wang was dumbfounded by the question, and couldn't say anything other than "no".

The commander disliked his grumbling look very much, "Okay, you go out! I can't expect you to do something worthwhile."

"What, mysterious?!" The commander opened the brocade box curiously, and muttered, "No, she doesn't know I'm here, so what do I expect from the things inside?"

After muttering, he shook his head funny.

"What is this?" Looking at the candied peach lying quietly in the box, he couldn't help wondering, "What do you mean by giving candied fruit?"

"She has already guessed it." A soft voice suddenly sounded in the room, and the people in the room were startled.

She asked in shock, "Master, why are you here?"

Aunt Hong walked slowly to the table, picked up the preserved fruit in the brocade box and looked at it carefully, "If I remember correctly, when she left Suzhou Mansion, you gave her a box of preserved fruit."

Aunt Xia nodded, "That's right! It's just... what does she mean? How would she know?"

Aunt Hong put the preserved fruit back into the box and snorted softly, "That girl is smart!"

Aunt Xia still didn't believe it, but she didn't dare to refute it, "Then what is she going to do?"

Aunt Hong said lightly: "Why worry? After all, if there is a first time, there will be a second time." If you want to know what her purpose is, just wait slowly.

Aunt Xia rolled her eyes, feeling a little impatient, "Master, tell me, how much does she know? Do you want me to go..." She raised her hand and made a gesture of wiping her neck.

Aunt Hong rolled her eyes unhappily, "It's more than failure!"

What's wrong with me? !

Although the words were not spoken, the unconvinced expression said everything.

Aunt Hong suddenly became angry, "If you didn't play around, would you be able to have these things?"

"I..." Aunt Xia felt wronged, but her neck was stuck and she didn't know what to say.

Aunt Hong shouted angrily: "You feel wronged, don't you? Then let me ask you, Luo Mingchuan came to Jiangzhou Mansion, why did you do nothing?"

"She has already come to provoke you, and you are still indifferent. You are so stupid, it's just... I don't know what to say about you."

Maybe she was tired of cursing, she sat down on the chair and wanted to have a cup of tea, but an inexplicable irritability in her heart made her sweep all the things on the table to the ground.

"..." Aunt Xia stood there angrily, neither speaking nor raising her hand to clean up.

Aunt Hong looked at her even colder, "Why, you think I owe you because of what happened back then, so I can't blame you, do you?"

"No." The truth is a bit heavy.Aunt Xia knelt down on the ground with a "plop", "Master, please calm down, this slave is wrong!"

Aunt Hong leaned her back on the back of the chair and sneered, "It's pretty quick to admit your mistakes! You said you didn't repay your kindness, so tell me, what have you done all these years?! Is there anything that made you feel guilty? I am satisfied, let me worry?!"

Aunt Xia: "..." She lowered her head, not thinking that she was wrong, but protesting silently.

Aunt Hong continued to reprimand: "Tell me about you, Luo Mingchuan has already found out all the strongholds on our side, and you are still hiding in the house leisurely."

"It's all right now? People come to the door provocatively. Let's see what you do?!"

Aunt Xia thought about it for a while, then defended in a low voice: "I knew that Hongyi went to Bixia Tower that day, and I have already searched the box where she sat carefully."

I don't believe she will leave any clues for Luo Mingchuan.

Aunt Hong asked angrily: "Then tell me, why did she find our shop precisely?!"

"This..." Aunt Xia was stopped by the question, "Could it be that there is something wrong with Zuo Dongtang?"

Aunt Hong: "Can you review yourself?" Don't always blame others when things go wrong.

Aunt Xia: "If Hongyi didn't leak the news, what would she know?"

Aunt Hong: "Then think about it carefully, does Hongyi know the two strongholds of the tailor shop and the tavern?"

what? !

Aunt Xia was dumbfounded for a moment, and only then did she realize that she really seemed to have done something wrong.

Her lips were trembling, "Then...that... what's going on? What should we do?"
