Seeing Du Mianmian and Jun Yuan chatting happily, Jun Hongbai left and went to Hanguang Courtyard alone.
The door of Hanguang Courtyard was closed tightly. Jun Hongbai raised his hand to knock on the door, but hesitated.
The last time I met Shen Qingluan, we broke up on bad terms.
If he comes to see her again so soon, will he spoil her?
Thinking of Shen Qingluan's arrogant eyes that glanced at him with sarcasm and carelessness, Jun Hongbai's heart was filled with fear and trembling, but there was also a bit of excitement and expectation...
She has such a fierce and resolute attitude now, is cold to herself, and even makes angry remarks frequently. It may be because she is too disappointed in herself.
Jun Hongbai pursed his lips, then finally clenched his hands tightly and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Just pamper her once...
After knocking on the door for a long time, Jun Hongbai's agitated heat gradually cooled down, and his brows slowly wrinkled as time passed.
Just when his anger was about to reach its peak, the wooden door creaked open.
"Uncle? What are you doing here?" Maple Leaf looked surprised, "Oh, I know this, you must have gone to the wrong place!"
Maple Leaf got half of his body out from behind the door and pointed enthusiastically to the other side: "That way to Aunt Du's yard."
Jun Hongbai's cheeks twitched, "Get out of the way."
Maple Leaf was stunned for a moment, as if his feet were rooted, and said blankly: "Madam said that she is not at the house and asked me to keep an eye on the yard."
"Not in the house?" Jun Hongbai gritted his teeth, "Who allowed her to leave the house."
Maple Leaf said in confusion: "Madam said that we don't need her in the mansion now. If she were in the mansion more, she might be an eyesore."
Madam said Madam said, what does it mean to think of him as the head of the family!
Jun Hongbai tightened his fingers, and a burst of anger suddenly surged in his chest, "Go and call her back!"
He reached out to push Maple Leaf, "I'll wait here to see how she will quibble when she comes back."
"Uncle!" Maple Leaf hurriedly stopped him, "Madam told me to keep an eye on the yard and no one is allowed in!"
She was considered to be very powerful among women, but she was nothing compared to men like Jun Hongbai who had been practicing martial arts since childhood.
After a few moments, he was pushed away by Jun Hongbai and strode towards the courtyard.
"Uncle! Uncle!" Fengye climbed up and took three steps at a time to pull Jun Hongbai, "Uncle, just wait in the yard. Madam said no one is allowed to enter the house."
Jun Hongbai turned a deaf ear and kicked Maple Leaf in the abdomen.
The other servants on duty in the yard were all intimidated and kept silent, wishing they could pretend they didn't exist.
Jun Hongbai was so powerful that he kicked open Shen Qingluan's door, stood at the door and shouted sternly: "Go and ask Shen Qingluan to come back!"
After saying that, he walked directly inside.
Upon entering the room, the simple and elegant decoration is just like the scent lingering around Shen Qingluan.
It seemed as if she had not left the house, but was still staying at Jun's house.
It seemed that if Jun Hongbai took another step in, he could see Shen Qingluan tying her hair in front of the mirror, and then turned around gently and deftly.
That scene was so beautiful, so beautiful that it seemed like it was a lifetime ago. Jun Hongbai's anger froze for a moment, and the next moment, it disappeared so lightly.
He walked to the beauty couch where Shen Qingluan usually sat, touched it gently with his hand, and slowly sat down. He could still smell the fragrance of books on Shen Qingluan's body on the tip of his nose.
Regardless of whether this woman is present or not, even without saying anything, she can make him feel calm.
Her eyes, in particular, are like a lake with infinite waves. Just sit aside and be immersed in it for an entire afternoon.
"Uncle!" Maple Leaf stumbled in, "Please go out first, Madam's room..."
Jun Hongbai frowned and turned his head to the side, and saw Maple Leaf in a panic, standing in the middle of the room in a panic.
He wanted to get angry, but in an instant, a thought popped into Jun Hongbai's mind. He suddenly darkened his face and said angrily:
"You brave bitch, Qingluan and I are husband and wife, and we are very close, but you are trying to prevent me from entering Qingluan's house. What are your intentions?"
After all, he has been an official for many years, and his power cannot be resisted by a maid in the inner house. Maple Leaf immediately knelt down, "I don't have one, I don't have one..."
She stammered for a long time, looking increasingly flustered.
Jun Hongbai's suspicion became more and more serious. He stood up and walked to him, "Tell me, did you steal Qingluan's things? If you stole anything, hand it over!"
His face was livid, which made Maple Leaf tremble all over, his hands trembled, and something in his sleeve fell to the ground.
It was a copper incense burner as big as a fist!
Jun Hongbai was furious: "You bastard, you dare to do something in Qingluan's room, come on! Come on!"
Maple Leaf was frightened and waved his hands violently, "No, no, no, no, I don't!"
The maid from the yard came in quickly.
Jun Hongbai pointed at Maple Leaf angrily, "This cheap servant dares to act unclean in Madam's house. Someone, please bring Madam back and ask her what to do with her!"
Several maids looked at each other for a moment.
One of them ran quickly to report Shen Qingluan, while the other maid, Huang Zhi, walked to Fengye and examined Fengye who was caught by Jun Hongbai.
"Maple Leaf, Madam treats you well. You actually did this while she was away. Are you worthy of Madam's cultivation and trust in you?"
Maple Leaf looked up, tears streaming down her face.
"This slave did not steal anything."
This was all she murmured.
Huang Zhi frowned, walked closer again, and kicked the incense burner that was half hidden under Maple Leaf's sleeves with his toes.
After observing carefully for a moment, he saluted Jun Hongbai and said, "I may have misunderstood. This incense burner is not from Madam's room. Fengye probably brought it in accidentally while doing his own work."
"Really?" Jun Hongbai also looked at the incense burner intently.
Sure enough, although the incense burner was similar to the simple decoration style in Shen Qingluan's room, upon closer inspection, I realized that there was no carving at all on the incense burner. It was not simple, but crude.
It is not impossible to say that this thing was not in Shen Qingluan's room, but brought by Maple Leaf himself.
However, Jun Hongbai still refused to let go.
This maid's every move is really strange.
First, he was not allowed to enter Shen Qingluan's house, and then his every move was suspicious, and he definitely didn't look upright.
Xu Shi had doubts in his heart, and looking at Maple Leaf's actions, he felt that everything was fishy.
He bent down to pick up the incense burner that had fallen to the ground. When he saw Feng Ye's face becoming more panicked, Jun Hongbai's suspicion reached its peak in an instant.
"Is this incense burner really yours?"
When Maple Leaf heard this, his face turned pale and pale.
"It belongs to the slave."
The look on her face was strange, half-smiling, but also relieved.
"This slave did not steal anything from the lady."
Jun Hongbai's face darkened, and he was about to continue the interrogation when he heard a sentence coming out of Feng Ye's mouth that made his hair stand on end -
"This servant is just following the old lady's order to light some spices in the lady's room. Even though the lady has not come back, I dare not disobey."
"Nonsense!" Jun Hongbai's mind went blank for a moment.
He even took a few swallows of saliva to digest what Maple Leaf said.
Grandma gave Shen Qingluan some spices?
What kind of spice was it? Grandma didn't give it to Shen Qingluan herself. Instead, she had to pick it up secretly with the help of a maid.
He even had to pick up when Shen Qingluan was away.
Jun Hongbai raised the incense burner and brought it to his nose.
He completely forgot that there might be something dangerous in the incense burner. At this moment, he only had one most primitive thought.
That is to find out what this incense burner means, and what kind of rules does grandma have for Shen Qingluan?
"Stop, sir!"
Maple Leaf bumped into Jun Hongbai's leg, causing the incense burner to fall out of Jun Hongbai's hand and roll to the foot of the bed.
Just as Jun Hongbai was about to get angry, he saw Maple Leaf leaping over, throwing himself in front of the incense burner and hugging him tightly, his face full of despair mixed with relief.
"It's my fault. I was so blinded by lard that I dared to harm my wife. I deserve death!"
Her voice was full of sorrow and sorrow, and everyone in the room was shocked.
But in the next moment, Maple Leaf hugged the incense burner and knocked it against the bedpost of Sour Pear Branch Wood.
"This slave will die to apologize, and you will remain an innocent person in this life!"
She had the intention of dying in her heart, and the castration was so urgent that the top of her head was bleeding profusely.
After two or three breaths passed, his entire face became filled with a gray-white air of death.
Blood dripped down in the incense burner, completely covering the spices that still had some flavor, but instead intermingled and mixed into another flavor that Jun Hongbai was extremely familiar with.
Maple Leaf, who was lying at the foot of the bed as angry as a hairspray, slowly closed his eyes and still murmured, "Madam, in the next life, this slave will sweep the yard for you..."
Everyone in the room couldn't bear it.
Huang Zhi reacted the fastest. He winked and told all the maids nearby to retreat. Then he stepped forward and whispered to Jun Hongbai:
"Uncle, this girl Maple Leaf is so stupid. She must have been fooled at some point, so she talks nonsense and does nonsense."
When he said this, Huang Zhi felt an inexplicable sadness and resentment in his chest.
The truth of the matter couldn't be clearer. It was clearly the old lady who had a wrong idea and coerced Maple Leaf.
Poor Maple Leaf couldn't hold her thigh up with her arms, and she felt extremely guilty towards Shen Qingluan. In this dilemma, she had no choice but to take a dead end.
She was unlucky today. She was chosen by the old lady and bumped into by Jun Hongbai. If it were them, they would have no choice but to die in front of them.
Just like this, if Huang Zhi couldn't find a way to cover up the matter, Jun Hongbai would definitely find a way to cover their mouths in order to protect the Lu family's reputation.
In this deep courtyard, it is so easy to take a woman's life.
Even Shen Qingluan's life was so thin. With just one thought from the old lady...
Huangzhi felt cold all over.
Little did she know that she was not the only one who was also chilling.
From the moment the smell appeared on his nose, Jun Hongbai's whole body felt like he was immersed in cold water, and he felt so cold that he couldn't breathe.
He remembered that when Wen Niang passed away, the whole house smelled like this...
A terrible moment came to mind, which made his whole fingertips tremble.
Wen Niang... Wen Niang!
He almost forgot about everything and rushed towards Fushouyuan with a crazy expression.
Mrs. Lu was drinking bird's nest and looked out the window for a while, "Mother Sun, do you think Maple Leaf's little hoof is now available?"
Grandma Sun forced out a flattering smile and said, "I can't say for sure, but I just think that Madam should have some trust in Maple Leaf."
Mr. Lu lowered his head and blew on the spoon, about to put it into his mouth.
The closed door was pushed open with great force, making a thunderous sound!
