Walking outside Jiuxiao Villa, Hua Jinglan and his party couldn't find Yu Chi Yue after entering the Villa. Several times he asked his servants to pass the message to see Yu Chi Jue, but they were rejected. Mrs. Yu Chi did not show up from the beginning to the end. When they met, several people felt strange.
Jiuxiao Villa has already gathered many people from all walks of life. After several inquiries, we found out that Yuchi Jue had never been out. The entire Villa was only managed by a few maids.
If Mrs. Yuchi and Yuchi Jue had some reason not to come out to see people, Hua Jinglan would believe it, but it was absolutely impossible for Yuchi Yue to stay in the house for nothing, so she went to Yuchi Yue's room overnight, and it was indeed empty.
The blame is that Wen Ruyu took away the glass, otherwise it would have been much easier to find Yuchi Yue.
He followed a maid into the small courtyard, tapped her acupuncture points from a distance, and lowered his voice to threaten: "If you dare to make a noise, your life will be sealed here!"
The maid quickly blinked her eyes, and Hua Jinglan untied her cunt and asked, "Where are your village master and the second young master?"
"The owner of the village has been in the main courtyard and hasn't come out for a long time." The maidservant replied hurriedly.
"Where are the Second Young Master and Mrs. Yuchi?"
"I haven't seen him for a long time..."
"Who is responsible for your villa affairs every day?" Hua Jinglan put the dagger on her neck.
The maidservant's whole body tensed up and she replied in horror: "Yes...it's the owner of the village!"
"You said you had never seen him before!"
"The slave will deliver meals to the owner every day. Although he can enter his house, it is only in the outer hall. The owner does not meet the slave directly, but only explains what needs to be done for the day behind the screen." The slave looked panicked. , and it doesn’t look like lying.
"Can you hear clearly that it's the village owner's voice?" Hua Jinglan pressed.
"It's absolutely true!" The slave girl trembled: "If there is even half a lie, I am willing to be struck by five thunders from heaven!"
Hua Jinglan flew away from the small courtyard and easily untied the woman's anchor point. When she saw her escaping in a hurry, she got off the roof and returned to her courtyard.
At this time, Wen Zhuoyi, who was visiting from outside, also came back, with a solemn face, "My sister is missing too!"
"In such a huge Jiuxiao Villa, no one is surprised that several people are missing..." Chun Yuyan held her chin, "Lan'er, do you have any news?"
"The maid who delivers news to everyone every day said that Yu Chijue is still in the main courtyard, but he hides behind the screen every day and does not see her." Hua Jinglan thought for a while and said: "Shangguan Qing is also missing, and it seems that there will be more Just go to the main courtyard."
"I'll go with you!" Wen Zhuoyi stood up and said.
Hua Jinglan raised her hand to stop him, "No, just Chunyu and I will go. You, Su Huan and the others should brace themselves and be on guard against any changes."
Even though Wen Zhuoyi was anxious at this time, he could only follow her arrangements.
When the night got deeper, Hua Jinglan and Chunyu Yan put on their night clothes and jumped onto the roof of Jiuxiao Villa. They came to the outside of the main courtyard and looked out. It was completely quiet inside, and it was unbelievably quiet.
Something seemed wrong, the smell was very wrong, and her intuition told her that this place was very dangerous!
Chun Yuyan seemed to be aware of it, and the two of them gestured and stepped back from the beam.
"Jiuxiao Villa is controlled by others." Hua Jinglan said firmly.
"Now the enemy's identity is unknown, and he has used Yuchi Jue as a puppet. If he rushes to scare the enemy, he may hurt Mrs. Yuchi and Yuchi Yue." Chunyu Yan nodded and expressed his concerns.
"The food that the maid brings to the main courtyard every day is only for one person. Madam Yuchi and Yuchi Yue should be locked up in other places. Let's go look for them first."
The two of them split up and searched from the main courtyard to both ends.
Hua Jinglan tried her best to search for remote courtyards. If she wanted to hide people, the safer the place, the fewer people in and out. But she went to look for uninhabited courtyards, and she also went to backyards where few people went. But there was no trace.
Just when she was beginning to wonder if Jiuxiao Villa had a secret room or secret passage, a sneaky figure appeared in her field of vision.
The maid was holding a basket in her hand, and she had to look around even in such a late night. Hua Jinglan followed her without thinking.
Seeing her walking around and around to the main courtyard, Hua Jinglan gritted her teeth and followed her in.
The woman did not enter the main room, but walked to the study room, turned the porcelain bottles on the shelf, and with a "clang" sound, the entire row of bookshelves moved away from the wall, and a stone door appeared behind it. She turned the stone lock on the wall again, and the stone door opened. Then she walked in.
Hua Jinglan ducked into the room and leaned against the wall until the footsteps inside faded away before she opened the stone door.
Inside is a long tunnel, not wide enough for three people to walk side by side. There are candles on both sides, and the entire tunnel is very bright.
She walked in along the stone path and saw the maid turning into a secret room. When the stone door fell, she saw old Mrs. Yuchi sitting on the ground with a pale face!
There is a piece of white clothes next to her, it must be Yu Chiyue!
Secretly happy that she had come at the right time, the stone door opened again, and the maid said: "Old madam, you should eat something first!"
There was no response from inside. The maid seemed to sigh and closed the stone door before leaving the same way.
After confirming that she was gone, Hua Jinglan went over and opened the stone door. Mrs. Yuchi had her eyes closed and her tone was cold, "I said I won't eat!"
"Old Madam!" Hua Jinglan walked over quickly.
Mrs. Yuchi opened her eyes in surprise and said happily: "It's you!"
Hua Jinglan reached out to help her, but she stopped her, "I'm fine, but my hands and feet are weak. Look at Yue'er quickly, he's been poisoned!"
Hua Jinglan nodded and went to help Yuchi Yue who was lying on the ground, "Yueer, you...?"
Before she finished speaking, she was frightened by Yuchi Yue's lifeless appearance. Is this person with a bloodless face and black lips really Yuchi Yue? !
She hadn't noticed that his hair was blocked before. When she lifted him up, she saw that his chest was completely red. She was startled and quickly opened his clothes. The sight made her eyes wide open: Yuchi Yue, it was someone else. Wearing a lute bone!
