The first thing you see is a large courtyard, which looks very deserted.
Ye Xiu turned his head and looked at Yu Qingluo, then walked in first. It was very quiet inside and not at all popular.
Ye Xiu frowned, held his breath and looked around the huge yard. After a long while, he turned around and said, "No one."
Yu Qingluo was surprised and walked in with Nannan.
There really wasn't a single person in this yard, and the whole house seemed abandoned. Even the trees at the corners were withered and drooping.
"Go in and have a look."
The three of them walked a few steps further inside and opened the door. Ye Xiu took out the fire certificate alone and looked at it carefully in the room for a while.
"It seems that there will be no one here, or in other words, people have moved." Ye Xiu thought that maybe Meng Zhicheng knew that the inn where Yu Qingluo was staying was nearby. He was a cautious person and very cautious. Get out of here soon.
"Mom, there seems to be blood stains here." Nan Nan stood in the corner and suddenly pointed to a small piece of wall on the left.
Ye Xiu and the two went over alone and saw that the wall was stained with blood. Judging from the color of the blood, it must have been several days.
Having said that, someone got hurt here a few days ago.
Yu Qingluo looked nearby again and found a piece of broken cloth. She put it on her hand and rubbed it for a while. Judging from the style, color and softness of the fabric, it should be on a woman's body.
There were also a few drops of blood on the fabric. Could it be that the injured person was a woman
Several people scanned the room a few more times, but found no clues except the bloody piece of cloth.
"Let's go, this yard must have been abandoned." Ye Xiudu knew Meng Zhicheng to some extent. He and Concubine Meng were brothers and sisters, and they had many similarities in temperament. As long as something is slightly wrong, this yard will become abandoned.
Yu Qingluo looked at the cloth in her hand, remained silent, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and put it away.
The three of them returned to the inn. Meng Zhicheng and Concubine Meng were definitely doing something secretly.
What Yu Qingluo is most worried about is that Meng Zhicheng, like the elder of the Li clan, ignored Ye Xiudu's birthmark and conspired with Concubine Meng to deal with Ye Xiudu.
This feeling was very strong, and when Yu Qingluo thought of this possibility, she became irritated unconsciously.
Now that Xiaoyu's matter has been resolved, she just hopes to find Granny Ge as soon as possible and then leave the Mongolian people, a place of right and wrong.
"Miss." Hong Ye stood outside the door and saw that the expressions of the three of them were a little solemn. Even Nan Nan, who had always been out of touch, was silent for a rare moment, seemingly looking serious and thoughtful.
Yu Qingluo nodded to her and stretched out her hand to open the door.
Unexpectedly, Hongye moved to block it, and Yu Qingluo was surprised. He took back his hand and looked at her strangely, "What's wrong?"
Hongye's eyes wandered, and his face looked a little unnatural. She glanced at Ye Xiu alone and then whispered, "There is someone in the room."
"who?"
"Me." Before Hongye could answer, the door was suddenly opened from the inside, and then, a face that Yu Qingluo was very familiar with was revealed.
Almost at the same time, Yu Qingluo and Nan Nan took a step back together, their eyes rolled at the same time, and their movements were very consistent.
Ye Xiu wanted to laugh just by looking at him. Yu Qingluo glanced at the corners of his slightly hooked lips, bit her teeth, glared at him fiercely, and lowered her voice and said, "Did you call him here? "
"No." Aunt Xiao said with a cold face, "When the old slave saw that the young lady and the young master had not appeared so late, he thought that the young lady was up to her old tricks again and left without saying goodbye again. The old slave is I’m worried about my life, so I have to come and see for myself.”
Speaking of leaving without saying goodbye, Yu Qingluo still felt guilty.
She laughed dryly, her eyes wandered, and her voice was weak, "Well, Aunt Xiao... let's go in first and then talk."
Aunt Xiao turned around expressionlessly, and Yu Qingluo breathed out softly, cursing secretly that she had no future. Why are you so afraid? Back then, she was also... well, she really left without saying goodbye, without any excuse.
Lowering her head, Yu Qingluo glanced at Nannan. The little guy's eyes were still turning, probably thinking about how to deal with it.
After the door was closed, Grandma Xiao suddenly knelt down on the ground with a 'thud'.
Yu Qingluo was so frightened that her face changed on the spot, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "Mother Xiao, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
The sound was loud just now. The kneecap must have been injured.
Aunt Xiao insisted on kneeling on the ground, and her voice became hoarse for a moment, "I know that I am useless. I am old and have no abilities. I have nothing but nagging rules and etiquette in the young lady's ears all day long."
When Yu Qingluo heard what she said, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, "Mother Xiao, what are you talking nonsense about? How can you be useless? You have always taken care of me and Nan Nan. You are the one who takes care of food, clothing, housing and transportation. We are extremely grateful to you. Stop kneeling and get up quickly."
Although Aunt Xiao is a servant, to Yu Qingluo, like Aunt Ge, she sincerely thinks about her and Nannan, takes care of them and protects them, and does not hesitate to sacrifice her own life to keep them safe and healthy elders . She would remember her kindness to them all her life.
This time she didn't tell Aunt Xiao, especially since Aunt Xiao followed her all the way to the Mongolian tribe. She felt guilty, so she never dared to see her or face her.
Who knew that as soon as they met, she would kneel down in front of him, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Nan Nan was also dumbfounded, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the other side of Nanny Xiao, "Nanny Xiao, Nan Nan knows she was wrong, and she will definitely not leave without saying goodbye next time. Can you get up?"
Aunt Xiao shook her head and said in a firm voice, "I know very well how much I weigh. The young lady and the young master are very skilled. Wherever they go, it will be more convenient without the old slave following them. So where the young lady is going, just tell me, The old slave will never follow behind and act as a burden. The last time, the young lady and the young master left Tianyu Kingdom, the old slave thought that with Grandma Ge taking care of him, there would be nothing missing in life. But this time, the young lady came to completely The strange Mongolian people had no news at all, and no one around them who could take care of them. The old slave hated himself very much at that time. Why didn't he look at it more carefully? If he had been more careful, things would never have developed to this point. The old slave felt regretful in his heart. "
"Mother Xiao... I..." Yu Qingluo wanted to help her up, but she didn't dare to use too much force for fear of really hurting her.
Aunt Xiao was slightly fat, and she knelt there motionless, "Miss, I don't dare to ask for anything. I'm just a servant. There's no need to tell me where I'm going. But I'm begging you here." , Wherever you go from now on, if you don’t take the old slave with you, you should at least take Hongye with you. Hongye is young, flexible, and can take care of the young lady in daily life. If the young lady brings her, the old slave can rest assured. "
