When Shui Ruo saw that Li Qingcheng's house was being stirred up by Li Zhuoyu, Li Qingcheng, a man with a human face and an animal heart, no longer had time to pay attention to him, so he wrapped Li Zhuoyu's fox fur tightly and quietly left the yard.
In Li Qingcheng's room, Li Zhuoyu led people to search up and down. Ye Zhenfeng also joined in, carefully looking at the layout of the courtyard, with the purpose of finding a place where people could be imprisoned.
While they were searching, they deliberately made a loud noise, as if they were afraid that the world would be peaceful, but in fact they wanted to make some noise for Young Master Wuhen to hear. If Young Master Wuhen was being imprisoned in the courtyard of Li Qingcheng, he would definitely be able to respond. However, the two searched up and down, but did not hear any movement or noise.
Ye Zhenfeng was worried that Mr. Wuhen had been killed, or that he was knocked unconscious and unable to respond.
Ye Zhenfeng thought to himself that even if he couldn't find anyone, it would be good to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.
He said to Li Zhuoyu: "Third Young Master, since there are no thieves here, I think we should hurry up and go to other places to look. Maybe Master Li has caught the thief!"
"Okay!" Although Li Zhuoyu was a little reluctant, since Ye Zhenfeng said so, he had no choice but to leave.
"???????????????Brother! That thief is not weak in martial arts. You should be more careful. Mr. Ye and I will go look elsewhere first!"
When Li Zhuoyu left, he was respectful and did his best to show off. Although Li Qingcheng was furious, he still wanted to be polite to him on the surface.
"Zhuoyu, you must search carefully and never miss any place. You must catch that abominable thief!" When Li Qingcheng said the word abominable, he raised his head and glanced at Ye who pretended to be innocent. Pillow breeze.
Ye Zhenfeng turned away mischievously, refusing to look at him. Hearing the sound of his teeth gnashing, he couldn't help but secretly laugh.
"Yes! Brother!" Li Zhuoyu nodded solemnly, and then left with Ye Zhenfeng.
Li Qingcheng looked at the two people leaving, his teeth itching with hatred, and he regarded them as a thorn in his side.
Li Zhuoyu walked out of the yard and asked Ye Zhenfeng in a low voice: "Young Master Ye, you were searching in the yard just now. Did you find anything?"
Ye Zhenfeng shook his head and said, "No."
Li Zhuoyu frowned and whispered: "I'm really worried about Wuhen! He is such a smart person. If he heard my voice just now, he would definitely respond to me, unless he couldn't speak..."
Ye Zhenfeng reached out and grabbed Li Zhuoyu who was walking forward, and then took him to hide in a plum forest.
"Young Master Ye—you!"
"Shh! I just put a tracking talisman on your brother!" Ye Zhenfeng said as he opened his right hand, and saw a talisman shining brightly in the palm of his right hand.
Li Zhuoyu thought that Ye Zhenfeng had indeed patted Li Qingcheng before, and it turned out that he had secretly placed a tracking charm on him. He had to admire Ye Zhenfeng's wit.
Ye Zhenfeng said: "We searched carefully in the courtyard just now. If Mr. Wuhen was imprisoned inside, we should have discovered it long ago. I'm afraid that the place where he was imprisoned is not there. After all the trouble just now, I think with you The eldest brother, with his restless character, will definitely not be able to help but take a look at Mr. Wuhen. As long as he goes, it means that Mr. Wuhen is still alive, and we just need to wait patiently and wait and see what happens!"
"Okay!" Li Zhuoyu was overjoyed and nodded.
Suddenly, the sound of soft footsteps came from Merlin's end, and the two immediately stopped talking and hid in the dark and looked in the direction where the man was walking.
The person walking over turned out to be a woman wearing a goose-yellow cloak. The woman was walking in a hurry, heading towards the courtyard where Li Qingcheng was.
When the two of them saw the appearance of the person coming in a hurry, they couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out to be - Li Qinluo!
When Li Qinluo walked into the courtyard, Li Zhuoyu asked in confusion: "Why is the second sister going to the elder brother's place so late?"
Ye Zhenfeng looked at Li Zhuoyu and asked in a low voice: "Third Young Master, please forgive me for being presumptuous. I would like to ask if your second sister is also a concubine like you?"
Li Zhuoyu shook his head and said: "The eldest brother and the second sister are both born to the eldest lady."
Ye Zhenfeng said: "Since we are born from the same mother, our relationship is naturally closer than with you!"
Li Zhuoyu said: "Even so, my father has a strong traditional concept and is very patriarchal. The second sister's status in the family is far inferior to that of the eldest brother, so there has been a rift between them over the years, and the relationship between the second sister and the eldest brother has also been It’s not close.”
Ye Zhenfeng was puzzled: "But I see that your second sister's status in Baiyu Villa does not seem to be bad!"
Li Zhuoyu smiled slightly and said: "That changed later, because the second sister was very business-minded and revitalized the spice business of Baiyu Villa. In business, my father We still have to rely on the second sister, so the second sister’s status has become higher in recent years.”
After finishing speaking, Li Zhuoyu smiled bitterly: "Ha! It's really ironic. If it weren't for this relationship, even my son, a concubine, would have a higher status in Baiyu Villa than her daughter, a virgin! The second sister is really pitiful... Fortunately, she is not a person who is willing to accept her fate!"
When Li Zhuoyu said this, he was in a trance and seemed to be thinking about something.
Ye Zhenfeng said: "No wonder your eldest brother is the only one in Baiyu Villa and is so arrogant! Third Young Master, how does your second sister usually treat you?"
"The second sister treats me better than the eldest brother, but she can't be said to be close to me. At least she won't treat me like a concubine. In her eyes, I am not inferior to others. Maybe in her heart, she also feels the same way about my situation."
"With all due respect, your father's traditional views are deeply rooted. Since he intends to make your eldest brother the head of the family, no matter how smart this daughter is, she will leave Baiyu Villa in the future. Your father will not think highly of your second sister."
"Mr. Ye, you really see things clearly. It's exactly what you said. In terms of business acumen, the second sister is no worse than the eldest brother, or even better. But it's a pity... it's a pity that she gave birth to a girl."
】
"Then how does your eldest brother treat your second sister? Is it as bad as he treats you?"
Li Zhuoyu smiled bitterly and said:
"Ha! I am a concubine, and my father doesn't think highly of me. In the eyes of my eldest brother, I am always inferior to others. But after all, the second sister is the daughter of the first wife, and she is from the same mother as him, so naturally I won't treat her too badly."
"But in recent years, as the second sister's spice business has grown bigger and bigger, there have been more and more conflicts between the two, and they have become somewhat estranged from each other. But my eldest brother is used to being arrogant and understands that he His position will not be shaken."
"On weekdays, she will use her identity as the future heir of White Jade Villa to overwhelm the second sister, but the second sister is not easy to mess with. Although she does not have a father to back her up in White Jade Villa, her methods are powerful, and there will naturally be people in the world to support her. !”
"For example, the boss of Money Villa?"
"Haha! You are right."
"Then what is the relationship between your second sister and that Shoji? Are they lovers?"
Li Zhuoyu shook his head and said:
"Shuangji is much older than my second sister. Besides, my second sister is very ambitious. How can I be willing to be his concubine? If the news spreads, I won't be afraid of losing the face of White Jade Villa. They are just a business partnership."
"Although my father has strong traditional views, he does not object to the second sister using her business acumen to contribute to Baiyu Villa and win people's hearts."
"So he handed over the spice business of Baiyu Villa to his second sister. Because of this relationship, Baiyu Villa started business with Qianqian Villa."
"As the spice business grew bigger and bigger, my second sister also became closer and closer to the big boss of Money Villa. My father also relied on her.
After all, there are not many people in the world who can do business with Money Villa! "
Ye Zhenfeng smiled and said: "It seems that your second sister does have some abilities!"
Li Zhuoyu nodded and said: "That's right, Money Villa's money shops are spread all over the world, and no one can offend anyone! Zhuang Si, the big boss, also has a very high status in the world. I don't know how many people want to do business with him. I never thought that my second sister would be able to move a giant Buddha like his!"
"Haha! It seems that your relationship in Baiyu Mountain is quite complicated!"
"Make Young Master Ye laugh!"
"By the way, Third Young Master, I did see the eldest lady at the Shanyu Conference today. Why didn't I see your mother?"
"She is in poor health and has been ill in bed for a long time, so it is inconvenient to see guests."
"I see, it seems that you are not as carefree and happy at White Jade Villa as you seem!"
Li Zhuoyu was startled, then smiled bitterly and said: "As long as I am cynical and continue to idle around, my life in Baiyu Villa will not be too difficult. After all, I am still my father's biological son! Even if I am a concubine, he will not make it too difficult for me. "
"Third Young Master, what you said is indeed true, but have you ever thought about it, if your father passes away one day, your eldest brother will be in charge of the White Jade Villa. At that time, will he still regard you as your father's son? With his personality, I’m afraid he may not be able to tolerate you!”
"What Mr. Ye said is true, but what can I do? I can only take it one step at a time!"
Ye Zhenfeng smiled slightly, looked at Li Zhuoyu under the moonlight and said, "Sir, the Third Young Master is such a smart person. He must have planned for himself!"
Under the moonlight, Li Zhuoyu's eyes trembled, and she raised her eyes slightly to look at him. The wind gently blew down a few pink plum blossoms. When the two people's eyes met, there was a hint of the shadow of a sword.
However, Ye Zhenfeng was soon awakened by the fragrance emanating from Li Zhuoyu's snowy neck. Only then did he realize that the two of them had been a little close just now because they wanted to avoid each other.
He hurriedly took a step back, trying to put some distance between the two of them.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhuoyu stared at him, and then took a step closer to him, bringing the distance between them closer.
Ye Zhenfeng stared and was about to say something, but Li Zhuoyu raised her hand to cover his mouth and pointed behind him.
Ye Zhenfeng slowly turned his head and saw a black shadow in the darkness. The figure was like an old tree covered with vines or a human figure.
If Li Zhuoyu hadn't reminded him, Ye Zhenfeng wouldn't have believed that there would be a person standing there, and that this person was silent and like a ghost. Even with his high level of martial arts, he had never discovered it.
