After saying this, Xiao Yuan nodded again in agreement.

Li Gui looked suspicious and turned sideways, his tone clearly unbelieving, "No way?"

Xiao Yuan lowered his head and pondered. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had grasped the key to the problem.

She quickly added: "Brother, let's not meet each other during this period. Let's do our own thing honestly. Don't worry about the things in the storage room."

Li Gui was a little disappointed, "Xiao Yuan, are you too excited? I think it's okay to go and have a look. If there is any problem, I will turn around and leave."

He muttered again in a low voice, "The mansion is so big, it's not impossible if there really are other places to store the charcoal."

When Xiao Yuan heard this, his expression changed instantly, he gritted his teeth for a moment, and then suppressed his emotions.

He bit his lip gently, hooked a corner of Li Gui's clothes with his right hand, and shook it, "Brother Gui, please promise me!"

Li Gui didn't even think twice. Seeing his sweetheart's appearance, his mouth was faster than his brain and he immediately agreed.

He stretched out his hand and held one of Xiao Yuan's hands, rubbing the pads of his thumbs subconsciously, staring at Xiao Yuan so closely with a sweaty look on his face.

Xiao Yuan calmly pulled his hand back again and whispered softly: "Let's stop here today. I'm afraid that others will find out later."

Her eyes were slightly cold, and her dissatisfaction with the man in front of her increased to a higher level again.

What a brain this man has. At this time, he doesn't even think about how to get out, but he still wants to rush to the door and die.

no! She had to know where the other party kept his money, and she had to be prepared.

Thinking of this, she changed the subject and said pitifully, "If we are really discovered, the better result is probably to be kicked out of the government. If they send us directly to the government, the people in the government will definitely not be so easy to talk to."

As he spoke, his voice was trembling, "I heard that the methods there are very cruel. Do you think they will pinch off all my fingers and I will never be able to sew for you again?"

He looked heartbroken.

Li Gui's eyes gradually became firmer, "Don't worry, such a day won't happen."

He comforted Xiao Yuan for a while, and Xiao Yuan's mood seemed to have completely calmed down.

She said slowly: "Where did you put the money?"

Li Gui smiled mysteriously, came up to her, and whispered a few words to her.

The two stayed sticky for a while, and then Xiao Yuan urged Li Gui to leave. Li Gui just lay back on the couch and suddenly opened his eyes again.

His hands were clasped together tightly, placed flat on his abdomen, and his two thumbs kept circling each other.

Tossing and turning, not feeling sleepy at all.

He had to go and see what was going on. If there was really a lot of charcoal, they might have hidden it.

After all, Xiao Yuan is a woman, so it is normal to think a little more and be afraid.

He doesn't blame her.

By the way, the storage room.

There might be some unknown secret passage there, and he was very excited at the thought of this possibility.

He could use the money to buy a gold hairpin for Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan would look good wearing it.

Heart is worse than action.

It was still warm under him, so he walked out of the door quietly.

No one was disturbed the whole time.

the other side.

Under a big tree outside the east wing.

The shadows of the trees danced, moving with the wind.

At this time, under the roots of this big tree, a sound could be faintly heard in the darkness.

Xiao Yuan panted and lowered his head, digging hard at the soil under his feet. From time to time, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

I've been working on it for a while, but I still haven't found what I want.

She stopped, stood up, looked here and there again, and finally her eyes returned to her eyes. He squatted down again and continued his actions lightly.

Everyone is asleep now, so as long as she doesn't make a big noise, she won't be discovered.

After confirming that her position was accurate, she used a faster speed than before.

Finally, I felt a different kind of touch on my hand.

She smiled with satisfaction. She quietly moved these out a little in advance. Even if the fool was discovered, at least she would still have some in her hand.

After everything was taken care of, she smiled with satisfaction, and then hid her entire body in the darkness.

The roots of the big tree have also returned to their original state.

No one will know everything about tonight.

The hour has not yet arrived.

Outside the storage room.

There was a faint sound coming from the room, and it soon returned to calm.

Li Gui tiptoed forward, and suddenly accidentally bumped into a wooden shelf next to him.

His eyelids twitched, and he saw that the wooden frame was about to fall to the ground.

In an instant, my heart skipped a beat, my hands reacted before my brain, and I quickly turned around to hold the shelf that was about to fall.

After carefully placing it in its original position and confirming that there was no sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his hand to wipe away the non-existent sweat, then turned his attention to the room again, inspecting it carefully.

There is someone guarding the surrounding area, but who is he?

After being in the mansion for so long, he has already understood these rules.

The house usually takes turns to be on duty, but not everyone is meticulous, and not everyone sleeps secretly.

As long as he's careful there won't be any problems.

Thinking of this, he became a little bolder.

After scanning the room, Li Gui felt a little puzzled. It didn't look like there was any mystery here.

Gradually, his face became a little disappointed.

He sighed and was about to leave, but he didn't expect that at the same time, the originally dark space suddenly became brighter.

His whole body was visibly panicked.

What happened?

He subconsciously turned sideways and blocked his sight with his elbow.

However, when he saw a corner of his clothes, he narrowed his eyes suddenly, and the panic in his heart slowly calmed down.

With a quiet glance, he saw Chen La and others who were looking at him for a long time.

Looking at the obviously large crowd around him, he swallowed silently.

He immediately realized that it was wrong. The other party was a servant of the mansion just like him. What was he afraid of?

Thinking about it, he straightened his back and put another smile on his face, "What a coincidence."

As he said that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Chen La snorted coldly, "I don't think it's a coincidence at all. We have been waiting for you for a long time." He yawned.

Since he volunteered at Madam's place, he naturally had to do it himself.

"What do you mean?"

Li Gui quickly thought about how he could leave under the eyes of these people.

It turned out that it was not feasible.

Chen La waved his hand, and the people next to him moved. Li Gui's eyes were fierce and he wanted to rush out. However, it was difficult for him to fight with four hands. Soon, Li Gui was completely controlled.

He struggled to swing his body from side to side and found that his hands were still firmly controlled. (End of chapter)
