Value peace

Chapter 124 The New Year in the Qi Mansion ([-])

Qiu Gui and Duan Yingluo followed their masters out of Yu Nian Pavilion, but Liu Meier led her towards a rocky mountain in Taihu Lake in front of Yu Nian Pavilion.

Gu Xiyan asked Liu Meier: "Where are you going?"

Liu Meier didn't answer, and walked straight forward, stopped on the stone bridge between two big stones, and handed her a purse with a smile: "Here, there are a few pieces of pea yellow in it, you can pad your stomach I don't know when this feast will start!"

I see?

Gu Xiyan stretched out her hand and smiled, "Is there another one?"

Liu Meier pretended not to know: "Why is there another one?"

"You!" Gu Xiyan slapped Liu Mei'er's arm lightly: "It's just talking about it, it's not that cruel person! It's for Wei Shiying, take it out!"

Liu Meier smiled embarrassingly, and said to Qiu Gui: "Give it to her!"

Qiu Gui smiled and took out another purse containing pea yellow from her skirt and handed it to Gu Xiyan.

Several people returned to Yu Nian Pavilion.

The atmosphere in Yu Nian Pavilion was a bit strange, and Wei Shiying and Shuang He were not in their seats.

Gu Xiyan and Liu Meier looked at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.

Thinking of Wei Shiying's face that resembled Ye Zisu, and her anger at the seat arrangement just now, Gu Xiyan secretly yelled "Oops", and she hurriedly said to Liu Meier: "Go to the second floor to see Look, where is Miss Wei?"

After Gu Xiyan said this, Liu Meier thought that Gu Xiyan was afraid that something would happen to Wei Shiying, so she hurriedly said, "You wait for me here!" After speaking, she rushed to the second floor with Qiugui.

Gu Xiyan waited restlessly for a long time, and Liu Meier walked down with a solemn expression.

Seeing her expression, Gu Xiyan knew it was not good, but she still did not give up and said: "How?"

Liu Meier shook her head: "No!"

Gu Xiyan thought for a while: "Let's look separately!"

Wei Shiying's face is too eye-catching
Liu Mei'er hurriedly said: "Alright, you go to the east, I'll go to the west, we all search separately."

A group of people left Yu Nian Pavilion, Liu Mei'er pointed to the east and said: "That's the garden, you can just go all the way to find it from the Chaoshou corridor over there. I'll go to the west, the buildings of Gongshun Court are all over there."

Today is New Year's Eve, and there are people coming and going from the Gongshun Academy. Some of the three aunts and six uncles of the Qi Mansion will come to worship the ancestors. Liu Meier is afraid that she is not familiar with the situation, and she will not know that she is missing when she meets someone of high status. Courtesy offends people.

Feeling her concern, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but said in a concerned tone: "Be careful! Whether you can find it or not, we will meet here in an hour."

Liu Meier nodded: "Be careful too!"

The two of them took their own maids to act separately.

Following Liu Mei'er's instructions, Gu Xiyan walked through the gullies and streams made of Taihu rock rockery on the east side of Yu Nian Pavilion, and there was a lotus pond in front.The pond is quite large, and because it is winter, only the lotus stalks with broken branches and leaves are left standing on the water surface. At a glance, you can see the bare willows on the other side of the pond and the bluestone road, white walls and blue tiles behind the willows.

There is no one there.

They walked along the green stone road on the side of the lotus pond while paying attention to the movement around them. They didn't see anything quiet until they reached the lotus pond.

In front is a large flat lawn, and at the end of the lawn is a two-story red building with cornices, which is very delicate and beautiful.Around the small building, there are sycamore trees that Gu Xiyan knows.

The yard is so big, where can they find it!

Both Gu Xiyan and Duan Yingluo became a little dazed.

At this moment, Gu Xiyan suddenly felt something moving in the sycamore forest.

Her heart moved, and she called out "Wei Shiying".

Her cries echoed all around, but no one answered.

Duan Yingluo also noticed it, jumped a few times, and landed in the sycamore forest. She looked around and shook her head at Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan ran over and said, "Let's look for it, maybe we didn't hear me call her."

Duan Yingluo said: "How about I shout!"

Gu Xiyan hurriedly shook her head: "Don't disturb the others."

At this time, the sky was completely dark and the moon had risen, so they could only walk through the forest by the faint moonlight.

There were many turns and turns, and no other abnormalities were found.

The movement in the sycamore forest may be an illusion!

Gu Xiyan looked up at the sky, and said helplessly: "I can't look anymore, it's getting late. She disappeared alone, and Ms. Liu and I can still cover her up. If the three of us disappear, who will help?" Let's talk. Maybe a hat of 'disrespect' will fall, and even Mrs. Wei will be implicated."

After all, Duan Yingluo gets along with Gu Xiyan day and night, and pays attention to her from a different angle than Liu Meier. She also faintly feels the huge murderous aura hidden in the seemingly peaceful life of Qi Mansion.

She nodded, agreeing with Gu Xiyan's decision.

The two stood still in the dense forest and identified their direction.

The red lanterns hanging on the tall Yu Nian Pavilion flickered like navigation lights.

They walked in the direction of Yu Nian Pavilion.

Soon, the lotus pond was far away.

In the moonlight, a woman in a black cloak walked quickly along the bluestone road beside the lotus pond towards the east, and the dark flowers with ice cracks woven into silk silk were clearly visible.

It's Wei Shiying!

Duan Yingluo jumped a few times and chased after her.

Wei Shiying's figure disappeared in the small corner door next to the fifth-level Guangliang door between the blue tiles on the flour wall opposite the lotus pond.

Duan Yingluo stood there, looking back at Gu Xiyan.

What a coincidence!
But with Duan Yingluo, it shouldn't be a problem to retreat completely!

Gu Xiyan hesitated for a while, then ran towards Duan Yingluo's direction.

The two of them pushed open the half-hidden corner door and called out "Wei Shiying" softly.

The thin voice echoed all around, but no one answered.

The scenery inside is really beautiful.

The winding veranda with red railings and blue eaves, surrounded by thick plane trees, a large fish tank with a diameter of five or six meters, and a seesaw are full of a leisurely life.

Both of them were fascinated by the scenery, and walked forward along the veranda. At the end of the veranda was a three-room bungalow.There are three or two banana trees under the window, wisteria frames made of green bamboo, red pillars, powder walls and green windows, bright colors, bright colors, like scenes only in pictures.

The two couldn't help but looked at each other.

Duan Yingluo called out "Wei Shiying" again.

Still no answer.

Gu Xiyan pursed her lips and went up the steps of the house.

The door was ajar, and she opened it as soon as she pushed it, making a loud "squeak" sound in the quiet night.

The room is full of purple purlin wood furniture, but there is no daily household item.

Duan Yingluo said softly: "It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time."

Gu Xiyan felt very uneasy in her heart, as if something was about to happen.

She tugged at Duan Yingluo's sleeve: "Let's go!"

Duan Yingluo also felt the same way.

The two turned to go out.

Duan Yingluo suddenly grabbed Gu Xiyan: "Someone is here!"

Gu Xiyan didn't hear anything, but she trusted Duan Yingluo's skills.

Duan Yingluo hurriedly said: "The footsteps are heavy, the person who came is a man, walking directly towards this house."

In other words, if they go out rashly, they may run into each other head-on.

Gu Xiyan pulled Duan Yingluo into the east room.

An exquisite eight-step bed, four purple purlin wood chairs, a small table in front of the window, and a flower table in the corner.

It turned out to be a bedroom.

Just as Gu Xiyan stood still, she heard a slight trampling sound.

Duan Yingluo looked around, and suddenly lifted a cotton curtain beside Babu's bed and pulled Gu Xiyan to hide in.

That's where the toilet usually sits.

Gu Xiyan knew that Duan Yingluo would not pull her in for no reason, so she listened quietly to the movement around her.

Someone has entered the bedroom.

Gu Xiyan wanted to lift the curtain to look around, but Duan Yingluo grabbed her hand.

After a while, there was a rustling sound, and after a while, Gu Xiyan and the others heard suppressed crying.

The voice was very small, intermittent, and a little hoarse, as if the grief had reached the point of no return, and the tone was like a wounded little animal.

Gu Xiyan's heart throbbed.

In front of Xianji Courtyard is the garden, and in front of the garden is Dexin Courtyard... Could it be that this is Ye Zisu's room?

"Zisu, Zisu..." In the silent night, the visitor really called Ye Zisu's name sadly.

Gu Xiyan only felt creepy, her whole body was cold, and she was so stiff that she couldn't move.

The heavily guarded Duke of Yan's mansion came all the way, and all the doors were hidden, as if it was for the convenience of whoever came!

For the convenience of whom?Who has the qualifications to make people so convenient?

Gu Xiyan's hands were wet.

Suddenly, the crying man shouted "Who is it?"

Gu Xiyan gasped.

The voice was low and hoarse, and seemed to have a little mellowness!
Is it...

Gu Xiyan's forehead was covered with sweat!

Duan Yingluo probably had the same thought, she lowered her head and closed her eyes, as if she couldn't bear to look at Gu Xiyan again.

The two froze there.

Suddenly, a weak voice timidly said: "Yes, it's me!"

"Zisu, Zisu," the man suddenly became excited, "You're back, you're back!"

Of course Ye Zisu will not come back, so who is the person who was misidentified?

The answer is self-evident.

Wei Shiying.

Gu Xiyan was in a state of confusion, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, as if there was a very clear thing flashing not far away, but when she wanted to catch it, it disappeared...

But Wei Shiying's panicked voice came from outside: "You, you, what are you doing, don't do this, don't be like this..." There was a hint of panic in the voice, and the sound of tearing silk came from the air.

Gu Xiyan's face turned pale.

how so……

There is a feeling of pain, which knocks her down instantly, and makes her feel uncomfortable when she takes a breath!
Why did you let me encounter this scene...

She was weak all over, and her body slid down limply!
Duan Yingluo quickly supported Gu Xiyan who was sliding down.

Rumor has it that Wei Shiying shouted: "Help! Help!"

But the two people hiding in the pavilion didn't dare to move at all.

Because no one is sure whether this is intentional or unintentional!
Because no one is sure whether Wei Shiying is a victim or a beneficiary.

Because no one is sure which direction the situation will develop after they go out.

Gu Xiyan's tears fell silently, like rain, instantly blurring her vision!
At this moment, she really wished she could die...

The sound of fierce fighting and crying came from outside.

Soon, Gu Xiyan felt something was wrong.

Wei Shiying's cries were shrill and desperate, and the man's breathing was thick and intense.

Gu Xiyan remembered that Qi Maosheng never made such a sound even when he was most excited.

She glanced at Duan Yingluo in panic, Duan Yingluo seemed to have seen something wrong and was looking down at her.The eyes of the two collided in the air, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes!
At this moment, they heard a few light footsteps, and then all the struggling sounds disappeared.

A young female voice sounded: "... Fifth Aunt, which family's servants are not good-looking, and at this New Year's Eve, they hook up with girls to mess around in Mrs. Ye's house..." Speaking of which, leisurely The tone stopped abruptly.

After a long time, another slightly old voice coughed and said: "Master, eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, let's hurry up, let's go, the big banquet is about to start over there..."

The woman with a younger voice didn't seem to be able to react, she screamed "Ah", and said in a surprised and doubtful tone: "Yuzhi, why is it you?"

I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival!
