Not long after, the maid hurried back, but no one was seen behind her. After she entered the lobby, she hurried to Mrs. Du's side and leaned down to whisper a few words. Her expression suddenly darkened.
"This girl... I told her in the morning that a distinguished guest was coming today, and she was told to dress up and wait for the call. Now that someone has come to the door, it's good for her. There is no trace of her." Mrs. Du said angrily.
"Why, Li'er went out secretly again?!" Changsun Guotai's face didn't look good either.
He had clearly asked Mrs. Du on the side to keep an eye on Changsun Li and tell her not to run around today. However, at the critical moment, she found that she was not at home. Where did he put his face? Just now, I was talking about the tutoring and rules of the Changsun family, and in the blink of an eye, I slapped myself in the face. This is simply...
Moreover, in front of Ye Sanlang, how should he explain that Changsun Li was not at home?
Ye Qingcheng is not a fool. Of course, he can see what is going on in this situation. The most important point is that although he can hardly detect any information about Changsun Li, his intuition and the chat he heard from the servants at home before going out An inconspicuous piece of news told him that he knew the whereabouts of Changsun Li.
"Senior Changsun, did Miss Li go to Liushang Courtyard?" Just when the two of them were not sure what to do, Ye Qingcheng suddenly asked lightly, causing the two of them to look at each other, and both of them could tell. The shock in the other party's eyes.
Regarding Changsun Li's hobbies and whereabouts, only her personal maid Xiaohuan and Changsun Guotai and his wife knew about it. Even the other female relatives in the mansion did not know about it at all. Even if Ye Sanlang wanted to find out, he could not find out at all. Let’s not talk about the couple. The only Xiaohuan who can be acquired is also a sister to Changsun Li. It is impossible to betray Changsun Li’s information. So what exactly is this Ye Sanlang...
"You guys go down first." Changsun Guotai waved his hand, signaling for the female relatives on both sides to leave.
They also knew that the matter concerned Sun Li, and it was normal for the head of the family to pay so much attention to it. They felt bored sitting there all the time, and finally found such an opportunity to leave, so they quickly got up and left the lobby, and the last person even closed the door on purpose. , so that people outside can’t hear what’s being said inside.
"Okay, nephew, everyone who has nothing to do with it has left. Now can you tell me how you know about Li'er? What happened to her now in the other courtyard, even Xiaocui (that is, the one just now) I only found out when I went to the courtyard where she lived and found that she and the piano she loved were not there. Could it be that you have arranged for someone to track the little girl's whereabouts?" Changsun Guotai's tone sounded a little unkind, regardless of Anyone else would have looked like this. After all, even the couple had just learned about their daughter's whereabouts, but Ye Sanlang knew it from the beginning. Why didn't this make him feel terrible? Has his daughter always been under Ye Sanlang's surveillance?
This is also possible. As the best among the best in the Tang Dynasty's frontier army and the captain of the Shuofang Army's scout camp, he certainly has this ability. There are many people who followed Wang Zhongsi to Beijing to report on their duties this time, including Of course, there are also Ye Sanlang's subordinates. Arranging people from the waiting camp to monitor Changsun Li's whereabouts was an easy task. Although he was in a high position and powerful, the house did not have as many experts as others, only a few village guards. , with their abilities, they probably wouldn’t be able to detect the people in the scout camp at all.
"Haha, senior really misunderstood. I just heard the servants at home say before leaving home today that Mr. Dong will be a guest in Liushang Courtyard today. So I just heard the maid say that Miss Li is not at home. I roughly guessed where she was going, but I didn't expect that I was right." Ye Qingcheng smiled.
While he was answering, Mrs. Du, who was full of suspicion, was looking at a post in her hand, which was the list and recipients of the gifts that Ye Qingcheng came to visit today. When she saw the things Ye Qingcheng gave to Changsun Li, her His eyes couldn't help but squint, and the suspicion in his eyes became heavier.
The so-called Master Dong refers to Dong Tinglan. As the most famous piano player in the world today, his name is really known to everyone, and he is especially respected by various literati. Among other things, the poem "Farewell to Dong Da" by the frontier poet Gao Shi is enough to prove his reputation. The sentence "Who in the world does not recognize you" has spread throughout the world. It can really be said that no one knows him.
After listening to his explanation, Changsun Guotai obviously believed it. But there was a problem. Even if Master Dong was a guest in Liushang Courtyard today, what would that prove? This does not give an explanation for why Ye Sanlang knew his daughter's whereabouts.
"But nephew, if you don't know my daughter's interests and daily travel habits, how can you know that he must have been in the Liushang Villa when he left home today?"
"That's right, you came today and the gift you gave Li'er was a sign for redemption, so that you can pick up the ordered piano at the piano store in the West Market in a few days. How would you know if you hadn't investigated in advance? Li'er's hobbies? You must know that she likes to play the piano, and that she secretly goes to Liushang Villa in disguise from time to time. Even the people in this family don't know about it. Except for a few of us, there are only people who open the door specifically for Li'er. Old Wu, the concierge of the side room, knows a little bit, but she only knows that Li'er went to a music store, but she doesn't know which music store it is. Master Ye knows so carefully, do you need to explain it carefully?"
Seeing the aggressiveness of the couple, Ye Qingcheng was not surprised at all, because this was the effect he wanted. If he hadn't revealed his next move, how could he have held Changsun Li firmly in his hands without It seemed like the couple were giving alms or repaying a favor. What he wants is sincerity, not deception. In this era, parents' orders cannot be violated, and women's status is not high, so women from most families can usually only marry people designated by their parents. These people There may be some true love among them, but they are very few after all, and he doesn't want false love.
"I wonder if you two believe in fate?"
"Ah?" Changsun Guotai and his wife looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.
"My daughter and I met in a dream." Ye Qingcheng smiled and said something that probably no one would believe in this world.
