"Hua Rong Dao?" Qin Wan felt a little familiar with these three words, "But the story of Cao Xing in the Wei Dynasty?"

When Qin Wan asked this question, Qin Shuang blinked and was puzzled, but Pang Jiayan nodded, "You know?"

Qin Wan bent his lips, "More than three hundred years ago, the three regimes of the Wei Dynasty were divided. Cao Xing was the leader of the Wei Dynasty. He encountered a battle with the other two regimes in Yanjiang and was defeated. It is rumored that the road he escaped was called Huarong Road. A lot of plays were born."

Qin Shuang looked at the chessboard in his hand, "So, I want to help this person escape?"

Qin Shuang pointed to a chess piece in the upper left corner of the chessboard and asked, Pang Jiayan nodded, "Come on, I'll teach you..."

Pang Jiayan usually had no one to play with, but now he became interested. Seeing her excitedly going to teach Qin Shuang how to play Huarong Dao, Qin Wan's eyes fell on Pang Jiayan's box.

Qin Wan couldn't help looking at the puppets who were juggling, "Did Qingniang make these herself? They are really exquisite."

Qing Niang smiled shyly, "The maidservant can only do some needlework."

Qin Wan took two steps towards the window, "How is Madam?"

Qing Niang hurriedly said, "Mrs. is much better. I wanted to thank Miss Jiu, but it was really inconvenient. Madam felt very guilty. The young master is also a person who knows how to be grateful. It's just that these little things made the girl laugh. .”

Qin Wan shook her head and looked over, seeing Pang Jiayan directing Qin Shuang like a little adult and sighed, "Third young master can prove that Madam is well educated at such a young age, and these little things are also very cute."

Having said that, Qin Wan went to Pang Jiayan's box and took a small doll, "Then I'll choose this one!"

In Qin Wan's hand was a puppet holding a spear in his hand. Although the puppet was talking about martial arts in the troupe, looking at the spear, Qin Wan thought of the night when he first met Yan Chi...

"Thank you Nine Girls, Nine Girls have a heart."

Since Pang Jiayan came to thank him, if Qin Wan refused to accept it, he might still have concerns in his heart. Now that she has taken something, Pang Jiayan's heart can also be relieved.

Hearing that Qin Wan had taken the puppet, Pang Jiayan quickly turned his eyes to take a look. Seeing that what Qin Wan had taken away was Wu Xing's puppet, he continued to teach Qin Shuang as if he was relieved. Sakura couldn't help but smile.

After teaching for a long time, Pang Jiayan frowned and said, "Why are you so stupid..."

Qin Shuang raised her eyebrows, and looked at Qin Wan as if asking for help, "I really didn't know how to get away, and I went back after walking for a long time."

Qin Wan frowned slightly, and stepped forward to look at the uniquely shaped "chessboard". Because the size of the chess pieces is different, it is indeed not something that can be completed by just fiddled with. Qin Wan looked at it for a while, and suddenly looked at a certain chess piece A little bit.

"Put this on top—"

Although Qin Shuang is not extremely smart, she is not considered stupid either. When Qin Wan settled down, her eyes lit up and she understood immediately. She stared at the chessboard with burning eyes and let "Cao Xing" escape after a while. come out.

Qin Shuang laughed, "How is it?! Did I come out?"

Pang Jiayan snorted softly, "It's not about relying on other people's advice... Forget it, let you choose one..."

Qin Shuang did it for fun, "Who's doing it for yours? To tease you."

Pang Jiayan frowned, and was even more dissatisfied. He glared at Qin Shuang, took the Huarong Dao chessboard, walked to the box, took out a jade wrench and put it on the table, "Here."

After finishing speaking, he didn't stay long, closed the box, hugged it and left.

Qingniang smiled wryly at Qin and Wan and blessed Fushen, and immediately chased after her.

Qin Shuang picked up the wrench with a smile, and was slightly surprised, "Hey, this looks really good, this..."

She was a little embarrassed, didn't this really become something she wanted to covet Pang Jiayan

Although the fineness is good, but it is the little baby's jade ring finger, Qin Wan said, "You can keep what is for you, just treat it as a small thing..."

Qin Shuang thought about it, "These three young masters are quite interesting."

After such a delay, Qin Shuang stopped going out, and just stayed in Qin Wan's room to watch her make medicine.

In the evening, Yan Chi and Yan Li followed Wang Huaiyu to Qinghui Garden.

"Your Highness, there are still no clues." In Deyue Tower, Wang Huaiyu frowned, "It's been an hour and a half since Qingyun left Deyue Tower. During this hour and a half, everyone has their own work to do."

"Where's the pot of tea?" Yan Chi asked suddenly, "Did you ask the person who delivered the tea?"

"The person who brought the tea was an attendant under Steward Pang. When Qingyun left, Steward Pang personally delivered it. When Qingyun came to the door, Qingyun asked for tea, and Steward Pang asked one of the attendants in front of him to deliver it. The attendant asked, and the tea was delivered to the room and left, that is to say, two quarters of an hour after Qingyun left Deyue Tower."

Qinghui Garden is a big place, but there are not many attendants in the mansion, and because the garden is everywhere, it is impossible to deduce the direction of the murderer's coming and going, Yan Chi narrowed his eyes, "Has the garden been searched?"

Wang Huaiyu nodded, "I searched all around Qingyun's courtyard."

Yan Chi shook his head, "Not only around this courtyard, but also in places farther away."

Wang Huaiyu rolled his eyes, nodded immediately, and then looked at Pang Fuliang who was waiting at the side, "I can't find out what happened right now, I'm afraid I have to search this garden."

It's not a good thing to be searched, but there is no way out now.

Pang Fuliang hurriedly responded, "Master Zhifu, please go ahead."

Wang Huaiyu was half-satisfied, and hurriedly greeted the head catcher and ordered him to go down.

Seeing this, Yan Chi walked out, Yan Li hurriedly followed, "Seventh brother also wants to go together?"

Yan Chi nodded, "Walk around—"

At this time, it was already dusk, and the entire Qinghui Garden was shrouded in dim light. Seeing that the sky was about to darken, the servants of the government office couldn't help speeding up their pace. Yan Chi went out to have a look, and headed towards Deyue Tower Then head north.

Yan Li followed Yan Chi, and Wang Huaiyu also followed Yan Chi after finishing his orders, "Your Highness, the backside is a bit remote, butler Pang said that there is no one living behind here."

Yan Chi frowned, "Let's do a search, it doesn't need to be too detailed, but we should see if we can find anything suspicious."

Wang Huaiyu nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, what Your Highness said makes sense."

Yan Chi took a few more steps forward and stopped moving. Wang Huaiyu asked a few yamen servants to look forward. Yan Chi stood still and said, "Prefect Wang, I heard that the dead Qingyun doesn't seem to have any family members."

Wang Huaiyu nodded, "Exactly, and she originally lived in Dingzhou, and the lower officials have already sent people to Dingzhou."

Yan Chi remained calm, "But I seem to remember that she also has a senior sister."

Wang Huaiyu was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes lit up as if he remembered something, "Yes...she does have a senior sister, but she is already married. I will ask the people in the Shuangqing class later to know about this."

Speaking of Shuangqing class, Wang Huaiyu sighed again, "Then Qingxian and Yang Ying deliberately framed Qinglan, but they did not admit that Qingli's death was related to them. I am afraid that Qingli's death will be classified as an accident."

Yan Chi's eyes darkened, "If it can't be determined as murder, then it can only be an accident."

While talking, a guard suddenly ran over from behind, "Your Highness, my lord, I found a strange courtyard behind..."

"Huh?" Wang Huaiyu was immediately lifted up, "Where is it?"

"It's right behind, please come over with the adults—"

Wang Huaiyu looked at Yan Chi, who also attracted Yan Li's attention, "Strange yard? Where is it? Lead the way!"

When Yan Li spoke, the attendant didn't dare to be negligent. He turned around and led Yan Li forward. Yan Chi followed silently. Wang Huaiyu also walked behind Yan Chi. Not long after, they arrived at a locked door. before the yard.

The place where the three of them were standing was very remote, and the small courtyard in front of them was a little deserted and dilapidated. Wang Huaiyu frowned and stood in front of the courtyard door, "What's so strange about this courtyard? They are all locked..."

"My lord, although the door is locked, there are people inside."

Wang Huaiyu frowned, "Is there someone?!"

"Yes, my lord, when the villains searched here just now, there was movement inside."

The clerk of the government office spoke seriously, and Wang Huaiyu no doubt walked to the door to listen to him.

However, he held his breath and listened for a while, but he didn't hear any sound.

At this moment, the night had already darkened. Wang Huaiyu was about to turn around and ask the clerk, but suddenly, a girl's voice sounded——

"Little doll, peek-a-boo, giggling behind the gate..."

The girl's voice was immature and ethereal. In this quiet and remote place, even Wang Huaiyu felt a chill down his spine when he uttered it suddenly.

He took a sudden step back and looked at the courtyard door in disbelief.

Because he could hear clearly, that strange voice came from behind the courtyard gate.

Yan Li who was standing beside Yan Chi was also slightly startled, "Who's inside?"

"Little doll, peek-a-boo, giggling behind the gate..."

Xu Shi heard someone's voice again, and the people in the yard spoke again. She repeated what she said before, but there was a horrified and crazy smile in her words...

Wang Huaiyu couldn't help taking another step back, gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, call Master Pang to come over and open the courtyard door!"

After giving an order, the servants of the government office walked away quickly. Wang Huaiyu looked at Yan Chi and then at Yan Li, and still felt a chill on the back of his neck, "Your Highness, this—"

"Little doll, peek-a-boo, giggling behind the gate..."

Before Wang Huaiyu finished speaking, the people in the yard yelled again, and Wang Huaiyu only felt a layer of goose bumps on his arms. Even following Qin Wan's autopsy that night did not make him feel so terrified.

The people behind the yard obviously heard them talking, but they didn't respond, and she repeated this weird nursery rhyme back and forth, either on purpose or because of something wrong with her head—

Seeing how desolate and deserted the yard was, Wang Huaiyu frowned and thought of some rumors he had heard before.

Wang Huaiyu was still contemplating. Pang Fuliang and Pang Youde came over one after the other on the small road behind. Seeing Yan Chi and the others standing at the gate of the courtyard, Pang Fuliang naturally knew what happened. He walked over panting, "Your Highnesses , Lord Prefect..."

Wang Huaiyu pointed to the courtyard door, "Master Pang, who is in here?"

Pang Fuliang felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, hesitated for a moment and finally said, "My lord, the one in the courtyard is my eldest daughter Jiayun."

Wang Huaiyu's expression was a little embarrassed. Pang Fuliang did not have a biological daughter, but he had a stepdaughter. Most of the people in Yuzhou City knew about this, and he, a parent officer, naturally knew it too, but he had never seen Pang Fuliang like this. As a stepdaughter, she naturally wouldn't interfere in other people's family affairs, but she didn't expect to run into her under such circumstances.

"Little doll, peek-a-boo, giggling behind the gate..."

As soon as Pang Fuliang finished speaking, the voice of a girl singing nursery rhymes came from behind the door.

Pang Fuliang's face turned green and pale, and Yan Chi raised his eyebrows, "Since she is the young lady of the Pang family, why does she live in such a remote place? Why is the yard where she lives still locked?"

Pang Fuliang had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, "I really dare not hide it from His Majesty. My eldest daughter got mad four or five years ago. She has been insane since then. I have invited a doctor to take a look and have not been optimistic about it. Later, I had no choice but to let her live in the back yard. Afterwards, whenever she heard a little movement, she would yell non-stop, so she locked the gate of the yard, and usually dare not let the servants disturb her …”

Speaking of which, Pang Fuliang said with a wry smile, "The family ugliness must not be publicized, it will make the two Highnesses and adults laugh at me."

Yan Chi glanced at the gate, "Open the gate—"

Hearing this, Pang Fuliang hurriedly turned to look at Pang Youde. Pang Youde immediately took out the key on the key, and with a "click", the lock hanging on the courtyard door was unlocked. As soon as the lock fell, there was a rustling sound behind the courtyard door. With the sound of rustling footsteps, Pang Youde pushed the door open, and Yan Chi only saw a thin shadow quickly hide in the room.

Pang Fuliang said casually, "Did your Highness see it? Jiayun is a little afraid of people. When there are many people, she hides first, and when she can't hide, she yells."

Yan Li frowned, "What did she say just now?"

Pang Fuliang immediately said, "Your Highness, is that the nursery rhyme? That nursery rhyme was sung by the siblings when Jiayun was playing with Jiayan when Jiayan was young. At that time, Jiayan was only two or three years old. …”

The courtyard was pitch-black, and even an adult would feel scared, let alone a half-grown girl. Besides, Yan Li could see clearly just now that Pang Jiayun was clearly about fourteen or fifteen years old, but she could read nursery rhymes. The voice was very immature, as if he was still at the age of seven or eight. Thinking about it this way, Yan Li felt a little weird and frightening.

You can't see your fingers in the yard, and it's the same in the house. Yan Li can't imagine how a girl can live here alone.

"There's not even a single light in here, and you actually have the heart to let her live here?"

Pang Fuliang smiled wryly, "It's not that I'm being cruel, it's that Jia Yun likes to hide in the dark, and she won't go out during the day no matter what..."

Yan Li's frown became tighter and tighter, how could there be such a disease in the world

Pang Fuliang lowered his eyes again as he spoke, and said bitterly, "It's all my family's business, I made His Highness laugh."

This is indeed a family matter of the Pang family, Yan Chi frowned, "Since it is Master Pang's family matter, then we don't care about it."

He said and looked at Wang Huaiyu, "Go and look elsewhere..."

Wang Huaiyu responded, followed Yan Chi's turn and left, Yan Li also followed after seeing this, Pang Fuliang stood there for a moment, glanced at the dark yard and told Pang Youde, "Lock the door."

"Brother Seven, don't you think it's weird?" Yan Li followed Yan Chi with strides, and when he saw Wang Huaiyu leading the servants of the government office to the next yard, he immediately stepped forward and asked Yan Chi in a low voice.

Yan Chi nodded, "Weird."

Yan Li frowned, "Then why don't you investigate?"

Yan Chi said calmly, "How to check?"

Yan Li smiled wryly, "Call that girl out to see if she is crazy, not to mention that even if she is really crazy, how can a good girl be crazy? Mostly there is a reason."

Yan Chi sighed, "This is Pang Fuliang's family matter, and the girl has nothing to do with this case, so how can we arrest her for consultation? Even if we find out, her parents are in this mansion, Her mother didn't take care of her, how can we take care of her?"

Yan Li was stunned for a moment, "That's right, why didn't her mother care..."

Yan Li lowered his head, he didn't know what to think of, and his expression became somewhat depressed for a moment.

Yan Chi seemed a bit impatient, and said, "Don't worry, this matter is not without a turnaround." Saying this, Yan Chi squinted his eyes at the Qinghui Garden in the dark night, "This garden is getting more and more weird. too much."

Yan Li snorted softly, "That's right, there's a dead person, and a crazy stepdaughter."

Yan Chi didn't say much, he just walked towards the east of Qinghui Garden, Yan Li looked at the direction he was going, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, "Seventh Brother is going to see Ninth Girl?"

Yan Chi strode forward and said "Yes".

"What is Seventh Brother looking for Ninth Girl for?"

"I'm not sure about one thing, I'll go to her and ask."

Yan Chi spoke quickly and walked very fast, Yan Li almost had to trot to keep up.

Yan Chi looked back at him suddenly, "If you find it inconvenient to follow me, then go to Tianxiang Tower to play."

Yan Li let out a "hey" laugh and said, "Going to Tianxiang Tower is no fun with Seventh Brother. Seventh Brother has been in Shuoxi, and finally came back. Of course I want to be with Seventh Brother..."

Yan Chi's ears felt numb when he heard these words, he shook his head and stopped talking.

Since Yan Chi came to inquire about the case, it was nothing to come to Qin Wan. He walked quickly to Qin Wan's guest house, just in time to see Fu Ling coming out of it.

"I want to see your lady."

Yan Chi spoke bluntly, and Fu Ling responded and hurried back.

Yan Li gloated, "Why is this little girl a little afraid of Seventh Brother..."

Yan Chi was noncommittal, and after a short while, Qin Wan came out from inside.

Qin Wan didn't seem to expect that Yan Chi would come over at this time, he came out in a hurry, not even wearing a cloak.

The snow outside the yard has not yet melted, and at night, the cold wind is quite biting, Yan Chi frowned when he saw that she was not wearing a cloak, and Fu Ling hurried out with the cloak behind her, " Miss-"

Qin Wan turned her head, Fu Ling stepped forward to put on the cloak for her, Qin Wan shook her head, "It's fine."

After speaking, he walked towards Yan Chi while tying the ribbon of his cloak.

"Meet Your Highness—"

Qin Wan was courteous, and Yan Li said with a smile, "Get up, get up, is Nine Girl also scared? In such a cold day, it's impossible to come out without wearing a cloak."

Qin Wan bent her lips, "I'm a little anxious. The two Highnesses came over suddenly. I thought there was something urgent."

Yan Li looked at Yan Chi for a moment, "Whether it's urgent or not, Miss Nine will know after hearing it."

As he said that, the person already walked to the side, naturally to avoid it.

Qin Wan didn't hold back, seeing Yan Li walking away, he asked, "What happened?"

Yan Chi took a step closer, two minutes closer to Qin Wan, and turned slightly to one side, blocking the cold wind from the upper air outlet. Qin Wan noticed it, and his eyes were warm and clear.

"I found out about that senior sister Qingyun."

Qin Wan's eyes lit up, "Oh? Where is she right now?"

Yan Chi's eyes darkened for a moment, "She's already dead."

"Dead?" Qin Wan frowned, "Is she very old?"

Yan Chi shook his head, "No, she is about the same age as Qingyun, at most three or two years older, and she died fifteen years ago."

Fifteen years ago, when Qingyun was still the class leader of Shuangqing class, it was when she was the most popular.

Looking at Yan Chi's eyes, Qin Wan knew that there must be some story behind Senior Sister Qingyun's death.

"Qingyun's senior sister is named Qingxi. She took over the Shuangqing class together with Qingyun. The reason for clearing the class is because of marriage. All the girls and guys in the Shuangqing class are from poor backgrounds, and because of the lowly labor, usually even if they get married, they can't marry into any good family. Not only that, from the first generation of double From the beginning of clearing class masters, every generation of double clearing class masters has not married."

Qin Wan's eyes widened, "If you don't meet your beloved, it's fine if you don't marry, but if you meet your beloved and don't marry, wouldn't you be treating yourself badly?" Qin Wan quickly asked, "Qingxi married well. ?"

Yan Chi raised his jaw, "Do you know the position of Northwest Zhenwu General?"

Qin Wan tilted his head and thought for a while, "General Zhenwu...it seems to be the fifth rank on the Northwest Road?"

Yan Chi's eyes brightened slightly, "Exactly, the one who saw Qingxi's sincere proposal for marriage was a Zhenwu general named Zhang at that time... So it can be considered that Qingxi married very well."

Qin Wan's eyes brightened slightly, "Wouldn't that be great?"

Yan Chi shook his head, "It was good at the beginning, but later, it was not good."

As he said that, Yan Chi's tone sank, "In the 224th year of the Great Weekly Calendar, a sensational case happened on the Northwest Road at that time. I guess you may read it in some files or some of Shen Yi's writings. been."

Old case? Qin Wan looked certain, and raised his heart.

Yan Chi looked into her bright eyes and said solemnly, "That year, the western army invaded aggressively, and the Shuoxi Army and the Beifu Army, a total of more than 200,000 people, stationed on the northwest border, preparing to deal with the enemy's attack. , the war is imminent, and the military pay to the Chinese treasury cannot be paid in time, so we have to allocate the one hundred thousand taels of gold in stock, and the one hundred thousand taels of gold departs from Lin'an Mansion and transports it all the way to the northwest."

"When we arrived in Dingzhou, because of the rampant banditry in the west, the officers and soldiers escorted at that time were divided into four groups. Two groups of people walked without gold in the place where bandits were the most rampant, and the other two groups were led by the two generals at that time. The family members walked behind because of the reason, and the gold was also divided into two halves and escorted by the two roads, one way to Liangzhou and the other to Mengzhou."

"I thought this would be a deception, but the 50,000 taels of gold that left Mengzhou was still missing, and the family of the chief officer who escorted the 50,000 taels of gold was killed, along with dozens of officers and soldiers pretending to be house servants. The place where the murder occurred was a post station in the west of Mengzhou, after the crime, the post station was burned to the ground, and there was no trace left at the scene."

"The case was a sensation at the time, but the real culprit was not found in the end." After a slight pause, Yan Chi said, "The general who died at that time was Qingxi's husband, and Qingxi and her two children also died there. In a fire."

Qin Wan held his breath and didn't recover for a long time.

I thought that Qingxi would have to meet her lover when she left the Shuangqing Class, and she must have had the best life ever, but she never expected that the final ending would be so tragic, and just as Yan Chi said, she knew about this case.

She was only two years old at the time of the incident, and she was still a babbling child. She couldn't even remember things clearly, so she couldn't experience it in person. But about seven or eight years ago, her father was working in Yunzhou, north of Yuzhou. At that time, her father She had counted all the unsolved cases on the Northwest Road, and the Gold Robbery was one of them. Qin Wan saw her father worrying about it at the time, but she didn't look at the details of this case at that time. She didn't expect , After seven or eight years, she will know the details of that case in this way.

"Is this case still unsolved?"

Yan Chi nodded, "It's not broken. At that time, the two forwards who diverted the tiger away from the mountain all played a role, but for some reason, General Zhang and his party were discovered later. They not only robbed the gold, but also killed everyone."

Qin Wan frowned tightly, "Since there is such a strategy, could it be that someone in the escort team reported to the outside?"

Yan Chi shook his head, "It's unknown now, this case was finally attributed to those thugs in the northwest, after the difficult battle against the enemy, the Shuoxi army went to several places in the west to suppress the bandits, then The area is safe now, but this case has not been solved from the beginning to the end, I don’t know the details, but it was also investigated during the suppression of bandits.”

Mengzhou is to the north of Dingzhou, which is farther than Yuzhou. Because it is too far away, Qin Wan did not have the ambition to solve the case for her father. She only lamented the fate of Qingxi's family and those soldiers. , and then said, "Since Qingxi is gone, Qingyun really has no relatives and friends. For the present plan, I can only wait for news from Dingzhou and then ask the old man in Shuangqing class."

Yan Chi nodded, "I was also very surprised to learn about this in the afternoon. I didn't expect that what happened back then had something to do with the people in Shuangqing Class."

"That's why you're here?"

Yan Chi gave a "hmm" and said again, "When I searched Qinghui Garden just now, I found a crazy little girl in a broken courtyard in the north. Pang Fuliang said it was his stepdaughter."

"Crazy little girl?"

Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately thought of the shadow who played tricks on them that night.

"What does she look like? What's her voice like?"

Qin Wan asked subconsciously, and Yan Chi said, "I didn't see it clearly, she ran into the house as soon as the courtyard door opened, but she seems to only read a nursery rhyme about children playing games..."

"Hide and seek?" Qin Wan reacted very quickly.

Yan Chi was slightly surprised, "How do you know?"

Qin Wan was about to tell the story of being teased that night, Yan Chi said strangely, "But when we saw her courtyard door was locked today, how did she escape that night?"

Thinking of that night, Qin Wan still felt a chill down her spine, and shook her head, "I don't know, it's just a little weird."

Yan Chi nodded, "It's really weird, and for some reason, I always feel like there are some secrets hidden in this mansion, maybe something will happen, you must be careful here."

Seeing the deep worry in Yan Chi's eyes, Qin Wan hurriedly responded, "I know, don't worry, Bai Ying's injury is almost healed, she will follow me when I go out, and I won't come out normally, you don't have to worry, don't worry. Just let me know the news.”

After a pause, Qin Wan said again, "There is one more thing. The third brother said that he might not leave until the case is clarified. We just need to make sure that the few of us have nothing to do with the case. According to this progress, the case will be closed soon." Only then can we find out, third brother doesn't want to go back too late."

Yan Chi nodded naturally, "I understand, if you set a time, I will know."

Seeing that the two were standing outside after talking for so long, Yan Chi stopped talking and asked Qin Wan to go back to the house first, and he turned and left only when he saw Qin Wan enter the courtyard.

The night was dark, and the entire Qinghui Garden regained its tranquility in the middle of the night.

Wang Huaiyu and others left Qinghui Garden, but they still found nothing.

And Qin Wan never expected that Yan Chi's words "Maybe something will happen" that Yan Chi said just to remind her would come true early in the morning of the second day.

In the twilight of morning, a piercing scream pierced the sky above Qinghui Garden.

After two cups of tea, Qin Shuang strode into Qin Wan's room, "Get up, get up... He's dead again... That Liu Yuntong, that Liu Yuntong fell into the lotus pond and drowned!"
