"It's my father's study!"
"Why do you say that?" Ouyang Shaochen looked at her indifferently: When Murong Yue's body was transported back to the capital, he didn't bring that mysterious token with him...
"Didn't you say that those shadow guards are very loyal to my father? When they were protecting my father in secret, they must also be guarding the token. My father's death in battle was too sudden. They didn't have time to rescue them, and they didn't want the token to fall into the wrong hands." In his hand, he quietly put away the token and sent it back to my father's study..." Murong Xue talked eloquently.
Ouyang Shaochen glanced at her: "The story is very good, but the possibility of this is very small, very small..." That token was born to mobilize the shadow guards, how could the shadow guards take it around at will? …
"No matter how small the possibility is, it doesn't mean it's impossible. Let's go and have a look in my father's study." Murong Xue said with a smile, her dark eyes were shining brightly.
Seeing that Ouyang Shaochen sighed helplessly and nodded lightly: "Okay!"
Gracefully got out of bed, Ouyang Shaochen took a clean white robe and put it on, pulled Murong Xue out of the room, wrapped her waist tightly with his long arms, and flew out of Xiaoyao Palace like a white cloud.
After a while, the two flew to Zhen Guohou's mansion, and landed lightly outside the study.
Ge Hui was standing not far away, when he saw two people, he walked over quickly: "Miss, Prince Ouyang!"
Murong Xue hummed lightly, looked at him and said, "Uncle Hui, who has been to this study after my father passed away?"
"Master Xiaohou has been here a few times, and the cleaners come to clean every day, and the humble staff come in occasionally, but there is no one else." Ge Hui replied in a deep voice.
Murong Xue nodded understandingly, and gently pushed open the door, a faint sandalwood scent mixed with a strong book smell rushed towards her face, it smelled very pleasant.
She blinked and walked into the study slowly, only to see a tall bookshelf placed at the innermost end, filled with all kinds of books, and in front of the bookshelf was a set of tables and chairs made of rosewood, richly carved and noble. Atmospheric, there are high-quality pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the desk, each of which is a valuable boutique.
There are a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, the style of the paintings is delicate and sharp, which sets off the whole study very elegantly...
"Young master seldom comes to the study. The decoration and furnishings of the study are still the same as when the master was alive." Ge Hui explained softly.
Murong Xue nodded understandingly. From the layout of the study, it can be seen that Murong Yue is not only strong in martial arts, but also a person who understands elegance, and has a very high attainment in calligraphy and painting...
Walking slowly to the desk, she stretched out her hand and opened the drawer on the desk, only to see a small ebony box quietly placed on top.
Murong Xue picked up the box and gently opened it, only to see that the box was empty and contained nothing, she frowned in confusion: "Why is there an empty box here?"
Ge Feng looked at the box, and said softly: "It originally contained the engagement token sent to Prince Jing's mansion, but the box is a bit ordinary, and it doesn't look good when you take it out. When exchanging the engagement token with Old Prince Jing, Lord Hou would change I bought a more ornate box, and I just put this box here..."
Betrothal token? Isn't it the 'Bing Po' that Ye Yichen lost? Murong Yue changed the box to contain 'Ice Soul' in the hope that his daughter would be valued like a gorgeous box, but unfortunately, the fate of the original owner is still like this humble ebony box, completely ignored by Ye Yichen...
Murong Xue raised her eyebrows, put down the ebony box, picked up a stack of papers in the drawer, and gently opened it. Looking at the patterns and words on it, her eyes suddenly froze: "This is... the border between Qingyan and Nanjiang. The topographic map at… ”
"Master Hou died in the battle against Southern Xinjiang. This topographical map was the last one he personally arranged. The soldiers sent the map to the Hou Mansion as a souvenir!" Ge Hui looked at Slightly yellowed topographic map, sighing softly, eyes dim...
Murong Xue's cold eyes narrowed sharply: Murong Yue's last battle was actually against Nanjiang...
A barely audible sound of 'ka' suddenly came to her ears, Murong Xue's eyes froze, she grabbed the paperweight on the desk, and slammed it mercilessly, only to hear a muffled 'pop', followed by a mournful, miserable sound. Called to penetrate the clouds, resounding through the sky: "Ah!"
Murong Xue pushed the window open with a 'swipe', and saw a 40-year-old nanny squatting under the wall, covering her forehead with her hand, howling in pain, her forehead was smashed by a paperweight, and her forehead was bubbling out. Fresh blood trickled down his cheeks one by one, staining his face red and white, making his appearance extremely embarrassing.
Murong Xue looked at her condescendingly, and said coldly: "You are the mother Li next to my aunt, right? My aunt is seriously injured. You are not taking care of her in Wenrouyuan. What are you doing sneaking here?"
"Back to the eldest lady, this servant has just brought Madam's medicine from the kitchen. There are many trees on this road, and the sun is not shining, so this servant wants to pass through here and take a shortcut back to Wenrou Garden..." Madam Li said tremblingly, There was a little panic in his eyes.
Murong Xue looked up, and there was indeed a tray and a broken medicine bowl scattered around her, and the faint smell of medicine lingered on the tip of her nose. She frowned, and said coldly: "The study is an important place, and idlers should not come near it. Even if you take a short cut, you have to avoid the study..."
"Yes yes yes... the servant knows... the servant will never dare again..." Nanny Li agreed again and again, her eyes pious.
"Okay, okay, stop talking, clean up the ground, and leave immediately!" Murong Xue interrupted her impatiently.
"Yes, I will leave, servant girl!" Nanny Li hurriedly agreed, hurriedly picked up the trays and debris on the ground, and staggered forward.
Watching her gradually running away, Ge Hui's eyes narrowed slightly: "The reason why Nanny Li is here is by no means as simple as she said."
"I know." Murong Xue nodded, her eyes were dark: "She is Murong Rou's person, she appeared outside the study to eavesdrop on our conversation, to bring medicine and so on, it's all an excuse."
"Then why did Miss let her go so easily?" Ge Hui looked at Murong Xue in confusion.
"In order to set a long line and catch big fish." Murong Xue smiled slightly, mysteriously: Li Nanny is just a servant next to Murong Rou, even if she beat Li Nanny hard, what kind of Zhang Nanny would be there? Mother Wang came to monitor.
It's just a group of humble shrimps, she is too lazy to fight with them, if she wants to make a move, she has to deal with Murong Rou, the mastermind behind these shrimps...
Ge Hui nodded understandingly, his eyes were as cold as ice: "After the death of Lord Hou, the Du mother and son have been domineering in the Hou Mansion, relying on their status to unscrupulously bully the young master and the eldest lady, it is time to learn some lessons it's..."
