On the treetops in the moonlight, in Chiyun Garden, the closed door still has not been opened. There was no candlelight in the room. It was dark, as if there was no one there.
The two loyal girls were always waiting outside the door. Even if there was no one around, they did not speak recklessly.
The two of them looked back at the door behind them worriedly from time to time, and exchanged glances to comfort each other from time to time. At this time, the night breeze was slightly cool, and the two of them, who had also not eaten, felt a little cold on their bodies and unconsciously folded their arms.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the garden gate.
This made the two girls immediately alert. After exchanging glances, they walked down the stairs to meet the visitor.
Before they reached the garden gate, the light from the portable lantern came through, and the light and shadow hit Youhe and Huayue, taking away the darkness from their bodies and dispelling the slightest chill.
Amidst the candlelight, a tall and handsome woman wearing women's clothing and soft armor walked forward. There is no makeup on her bright facial features, and her long hair is tied high, with the top of her hair fixed only with a delicate headband. Her long hair is flowing, adding a bit of chicness and elegance to her appearance.
At her waist, she also wore a short sword. The scabbard is extremely delicate, and the gems inlaid on it glow dimly under the candlelight.
Judging from the expression between her eyebrows, she is somewhat similar to Mu Qingge.
However, that age is much older than the latter.
"Miss Chang!"
Seeing who was coming, Youhe and Huayue knelt down at the same time to salute.
"Get up." Mu Lianrong pushed away the lantern held by the maid next to her, looked at the two kneeling people, and said calmly.
"yes."
Youhe and Huayue stood up as ordered.
Only then did they notice that there were two people following Miss Mu Fu, one of whom was wearing a white skirt and fluttering robes. I felt pity for him. At this time, he was following Mu Lianrong obediently. The remaining person is this person's personal maid.
Huayue secretly blinked at Youhe, as if to say: 'That person is here too. '
Youhe seemed not to notice it, and just stood with his eyes lowered.
Mu Lianrong didn't notice the interaction between the two girls' eyes, but just looked around. After seeing the dark Chi Yunyuan, she couldn't help but frown: "It's already dark, why don't you hold a lamp? Why don't you still hold a lamp? Yes, where is your young master?"
Youhe took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said in a soft tone: "After the young master came back, he took a rest. The servants were afraid that the young master would give orders after he woke up, so they did not dare to go far. This delayed the lighting of the lamp. . Before the eldest lady came, we were planning to light the lamp."
Mu Lianrong nodded, then looked at the dark room behind the two of them, and asked: "Then the brat has been sleeping since he came back?"
Youhe and Huayue nodded repeatedly. They were also worried, but they just didn't dare to disturb the young lord.
At this time, the figure with fluttering white clothes and catkins came to Mu Lianrong and said with concern: "Aunt Rong, Brother Mu came back from the battlefield and has been sleeping now. Is there something wrong?"
At night, in the darkness of the candlelight, her eyes, as innocent as a deer's, looked particularly bright.
As soon as she said this, Mu Lianrong's brows suddenly frowned, and her sharp eyes were filled with worry.
Youhe raised his eyes, glanced secretly at the man in white, then lowered his eyes, saying nothing. Huayue, on the other hand, curled her lips slightly, but also remained silent.
The two people's attitude toward the girl in white didn't seem so friendly.
"I'll go in and take a look." Mu Lianrong made up her mind and strode towards the room.
