Chapter 9 Night Visit to Bamboo Garden
It was cold and cold at night.

Lu Yao put on a black home clothes and shivered as soon as she left the yard.

She carefully checked the situation around her. When she came here with her servant, she noticed that the guards in the four courtyards were patrolling at intervals of five minutes.

According to time calculation, the guard should be in the Juyuan on the west side at the moment. Five minutes would be enough for her to quickly go to the Zhuyuan.

There were no lights on in the Zhuyuan at this moment, and it could be seen that Ye Hua had not returned from the main building yet.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from far away.

Lu Yao didn't hesitate. She looked around and made sure that no one was around. She immediately jumped over the wall into the yard and hid behind a cluster of bamboos.

The movement alerted the mosquitoes on the bamboo. The mosquitoes sniffed the fragrant meat, pricked her bare arm with precision, and sucked the blood.

Lu Yao endured the pain and itching and listened to the conversation outside the wall.

"Why are you missing?"

"I clearly saw someone breaking in here without permission."

"Why don't you go into the courtyard and search?"

"You are looking for death. This is the eldest lady's residence. Without her nod, you will be severely punished if you enter the yard without permission."

"Then what do you say?"

"Watch and observe around you."

In the dark, Lu Yao didn't dare to show her anger. She didn't expect Ye Hua to be such a vicious image in the eyes of outsiders.

It fits the image of the villain who killed her mother back then.

After waiting for about 5 minutes and making sure that the guards were gone, she boldly opened the door and sneaked into the building.

In the darkness, she couldn't see the decorations in the building clearly, so she had to take out her mobile phone and turn on the rear flashlight and groped her way to a room that looked like a study or a studio.

There were many paintings hanging on the walls of the room. The colors were very bright and the brushstrokes were extremely exaggerated. They were completely opposite to the elegant style of her mother's handwriting that she had seen in the tea room.

In the darkness, the paintings on the wall looked evil and weird.

Like a ferocious beast, it could jump out of the painting and kill it at any time.

Suddenly, the lights in the entire bamboo garden came on.

Including the room she was in.A clear and bright voice sounded: "Wan'er, if you don't seize the opportunity to cook rice with my second brother, why are you doing this in my shabby yard that has been unoccupied for a long time?"

You can tell from the sound that Ye Hua is back.

Lu Yao was panicked and wanted to leave, but found that the studio was completely closed on all sides, and only the glass skylight on the top could be opened.

She made a quick visual inspection and found that the ground was at least eight or nine meters away from the skylight.

Climbing up with bare hands is almost impossible.

What a coincidence, Qiao Waner said: "My dear eldest sister, you said last time that you would give me the sunflower painting in the studio, why don't you let me take it away tonight."

"Little clever guy, let me take you to get it."

As soon as the words fell, the footsteps of the two people came closer and closer to the studio.

The next second, the doorknob moved.

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Yao's back. At the critical moment, a figure pulled her open the invisible door and hid in the dark room.

In the darkness, a familiar smell came to her nose.

At this moment, her heart was confused.

In their ears were the clear sounds of each other's breathing.

Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she asked softly: "Ye Zehong, is that you?"

Ye Zehong sighed softly, clenched his jaw, and said helplessly: "Do you know that you are looking for death?"

In the darkness, Lu Yao couldn't see his expression clearly, let alone guess whether the words meant worry or scolding.

"I……"

"Shh!"

The next second, a warm palm covered her lips.

There was a sound of footsteps getting closer and closer in their direction.
