"Fifth Young Master, how do you know?"
The housekeeper looked at Sima Youyue in surprise, the Nalan family kept this matter a secret, if they hadn't been paying attention to the affairs of the Nalan family, they would not have known about it.
And the fifth young master just returned to the capital, how could he know
"Ahem, I can just guess." Sima Youyue said, "Otherwise, the great elder of the Nalan family wouldn't have come to our house."
"I heard that Nalan and He were injured when they went to the Puso Mountains this time, and they have stayed behind closed doors since they came back. Few of the guards who went with them came back alive. I don't know what happened to them." The butler said with a sigh, there was no lack of gloating in his words.
Hearing this, Sima Youyue felt happy, so she just said, how could she have miscalculated!
"Master, you're back." Chunjian and Yunyue came out of the room when they heard Sima Youyue's voice, and looked at Sima Youyue in surprise.
Since Sima Youyue left, the two of them had nothing to do, and the general allowed them to practice on their own, so the strength of both of them has improved in the past few months.
Seeing the two of them, Sima Youyue asked with a smile, "Do you miss the young master?"
"The young master is not serious again!" Chun Jian said with a smile.
"The young master is often not at home now, of course we miss you." Yunyue said, "How long will the young master come back to stay this time?"
"You should go to the academy tomorrow." Sima Youyue said, "My young master sees that you two have improved a lot in strength, I wonder if your cooking skills have improved? Go, prepare dinner for me, young master, I'm starving to death. "
Chunjian and Yunyue looked at each other, and said in unison: "Young master, wait a minute, servants and servants will do it now."
After finishing speaking, the two bowed and retreated, and went to the kitchen to make dinner for her.
Sima Youyue was about to go back to the house, when she saw the butler standing in the yard, she waved at him and said, "Go and do your work, since I'm back here, I won't see that old man of Nalan's family anymore."
The housekeeper did have something to do, so he looked at her hesitantly, cupped his hands, and said, "The old servant will leave now."
"Go, go." Sima Youyue waved her hand, and waited for the housekeeper to leave before returning to her room.
After a while, Chunjian and Yunyue brought out the dinner. Seeing the delicious dishes, Sima Youyue couldn't help but steal a bite with her hands.
"It seems that the young master is not here, and your culinary skills have not been lost!"
Hearing her praise, Chunjian and Yunyue both smiled happily.
"Fifth Young Master."
Just as Sima Youyue was about to serve dinner, a guard shouted from the yard.
Chun Jian went out, came in quickly, and said, "Young master, the master sent someone to call you over."
Sima Youyue glanced at the food, sighed, and said, "Let's eat after I come back."
"Master, the guard just said that the general has sent a message asking you to bring the food with you." Chun Jian added.
"Oh. Then follow along."
Sima Youyue went to Sima Lie's study, Chun Jian followed behind with the food, and outside the study, Sima Youyue took the tray and signaled Chun Jian to go back.
The guards outside the study were all ordered to open the door for her when they saw Sima Youyue coming.
Sima Lie was looking down at something, when he heard the voice, he said without raising his head, "Come, sit down and eat."
Sima Youyue put the food on the table, reached out to take the letter paper in Sima Lie's hand, put a bowl of rice in his hand, and said, "Since you're eating, don't look at these."
Sima Lie let her put the letter paper aside, and had dinner with her. After eating, he asked someone to clean up the dishes and made her a cup of tea.
Sima Youyue looked at Sima Lie nervously, feeling that he was a little weird today. He had been away for so long before seeing each other, yet he didn't ask what he was doing, nor did he ask him to come here, but just had dinner and tea with him.
"Ahem, grandpa, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first, and I have to go to the academy tomorrow." Sima Youyue felt that this was a sign of Sima Lie's anger, and wanted to use this to escape.
"No rush, it's still early tomorrow." Sima Lie took a sip of tea and slowly put down the cup.
"Oh." Sima Youyue picked up the teacup and buried her head in drinking tea, Sima Lie didn't speak, and she didn't speak either.
"People from the Nalan family are here today." In the end, Sima Lie couldn't hold back and spoke first.
"I heard about it." Sima Youyue nodded, and then became quiet again.
Sima Lie looked at Sima Youyue, feeling puzzled. In the past, every time she had something to do, she would break the casserole and ask the bottom line. Why is she so quiet today, making him unable to speak out even if he wanted to reprimand her.
He sighed in his heart, he really couldn't do it if he wanted to reprimand her!
"You should know what they are here for?" Sima Lie said.
"Um, I don't know." Sima Youyue said, "The housekeeper didn't tell me."
"They want someone from you." Sima Lie stared at Sima Youyue, trying to see something from her face, but Sima Youyue's expression didn't change at all, and he didn't feel guilty at all, so he asked directly: "They said, You killed Nalan Qi, and I will hand you over to pay for your life."
When Sima Youyue heard it, she secretly thought that it was really because of Nalan Qi's matter. But did something happen to Nalanhe? Why is he still in the mood to trouble her
"Hey, there is no proof, why do you say that I killed someone!" She smiled slightly.
"Is that true?" Sima Lie asked.
Sima Youyue nodded, she didn't intend to hide this from Sima Lie, and said: "It was the morning when I left home last time, on the way to the academy, he brought a guard of the spirit master level to kill me, but I was killed in the end."
In fact, the morning Nalan Qi was killed, the guards he sent to protect Sima Youyue came back and told him what happened in the alley. Seeing that Sima Youyue did not hide anything, Sima Lie said: "Now Nalan's family can't find Nalan Qi. No matter who asks about Lan Qi's corpse, you just have to deny it."
"Yes, I understand." Sima Youyue nodded.
"However, I didn't want to talk to you about this matter today." Sima Lie changed the subject, "Tell me, did you do what happened to the Nalan family recently?"
"What's the matter?" Sima Youyue didn't recover for a moment, she looked up at Sima Lie and asked.
"Nalanhe went to the Puso Mountains to snatch the golden snake fruit this time, and was chased and killed by various spirit beasts on the way back. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Sima Youyue's heart skipped a beat, how did he know
Thinking of not letting him know that she was going to snatch the golden snake fruit, she shook her head and denied, "Grandpa, how could the Nalan family's affairs have anything to do with me?! Who knows if they have provoked some spirit beasts, that's why they kept on going?" was hunted down."
"Okay, stop making excuses." Sima Lie said, "I've seen you all!"
What? !
Sima Youyue was really surprised this time, could it be that he recognized her in that disguise
