Upon hearing this, Chen Yutian's eyes flashed, and he quickly raised his ears and listened carefully.
But at this time, another concubine was heard saying: "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the master has specifically ordered this matter, no one is allowed to talk about it. Otherwise..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the other girls nodded in understanding, and they agreed not to talk about this matter again.
But the way they looked at each other was enough to explain everything.
But at this moment, Chen Yutian was hiding behind the rockery. He could only hear their words, but could not see the changes in their expressions clearly, so he was unable to discover this.
When he heard the girls starting to talk about some private matters of his daughter's family, he was naturally embarrassed to continue listening, so he had to smile bitterly, walked away, and continued walking in the direction he had set.
On the way, he "inquired" from a little maid about the courtyard where Ling Mo lived and the location of his room, and then headed there directly.
Within a few moments, we have arrived.
It was early in the morning and it was time for breakfast, so there was no one in the yard.
Chen Yutian seized the opportunity and looked at a small building about three stories high in the small courtyard.
According to the maid's "account", this is where Ling Mo lives on weekdays, and the room he lives in is on the third floor of this building.
In a few flashes, he arrived at the door of the small building where Ling Mo's room was located, and in the next moment, he slipped in directly. Following the maid's "confession", I found the room, opened the door and walked in.
The furnishings in the room are relatively simple, with only a bed, a cabinet, a table, a few chairs and something that shouldn't appear in a man's room - a dressing table.
However, although the furnishings of the room are simple, the decoration is extremely gorgeous, which can even be described as magnificent.
This can be seen just from the decoration on the red sandalwood table next to the window. In addition to a set of expensive Four Treasures of the Study, there is also a pair of more precious gold-stitched Pixiu that can be played with.
In addition, the large blue dragon painting hanging on the wall, the gold-stitched decoration hanging in the corner, and the big red carpet on the ground are all the best of the best, especially the dressing table, which is full of various items. All kinds of rouge and gouache are high-end products that are favored by the ladies of the capital.
Looking at the dressing table, Chen Yutian couldn't help but look a little strange.
If it weren't for the decoration in this room, he would really have thought that he had walked into some woman's boudoir...
After all, in this mansion, except for Ling Mo, all the women are servants. No matter how wealthy Ling Mo is, it is impossible for them to decorate their boudoir so gorgeously.
Therefore, this place must be Ling Mo's room.
Chen Yutian came to the window and looked at the rosewood table. The four treasures of the study were neatly placed on it, but the pair of gold-stitched Pixiu seemed to be placed casually, with some staggering.
On the other corner of the desk, several books were neatly placed aside. They looked very new. Chen Yutian flipped through one and found that the books were all classics and history books. From the looks of it, it was obvious that few people usually read them. Look through it so that the pages are still very new.
"Huh?" His expression suddenly changed.
Among these new books, there are a few books that seem to be turned over frequently, and the pages have turned yellow, which is very annoying in this pile of books.
Chen Yutian picked up these books and looked at them, and suddenly laughed.
Although the cover of the book is also the name of a historical book, it is obvious that this cover was affixed later because the cover is slightly wider than the pages of the book.
However, when he flipped through the contents of these books, he couldn't help but blush. It turns out that these books are all "Erotic Palace Pictures" that describe the affairs between men and women.
Chen Yutian was helpless and sighed in his heart. This Ling Mo was really a lustful ghost. There were even such books hidden in the room...
Shaking his head slightly, he put the book in his hand back where it belonged.
"Humph! What a bunch of useless trash!"
At this moment, there were faint voices outside the room.
somebody is coming.
Chen Yutian quickly hid on the beam.
Just after hiding, the door to the room suddenly opened, and Ling Mo and Du San walked into the room one after another.
Du San said flatteringly: "Master, please calm down, they didn't do it on purpose. Besides, if you are really angry, just teach them a lesson. There is no need to be so angry alone. It will be bad for your health if you are angry." Already..."
"Hmph!" Ling Mo sat down angrily and muttered to himself.
"Waste! It's all waste! That Huadie is also a waste! I asked her to teach Na Chen Yutian a lesson before, but she was injured. Now she was asked to kill a female assassin, and she was captured alive again... What a waste!"
Hearing this, Chen Yutian's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but think of the person who blocked his way when Xuan Xi was poisoned.
He didn't realize it at the time, but now after listening to Ling Mo's words, he realized that the person who blocked the road was also a butterfly.
And judging by the implications of his words, he and Hua Die are indeed related!
His eyes suddenly flashed slightly.
Ling Mo scolded him arbitrarily, but still seemed to be dissatisfied. Du San saw this and offered advice: "Master, don't be angry. How about we go out for a walk, relax, and look for some beauties to come back..."
Hearing this, Ling Mo's eyes suddenly lit up!
He nodded slightly and said with fiery eyes: "Well, this proposal is very popular with me, Du San, why don't you hurry up and get ready!"
"Hey, good sir."
Du San responded and ran out happily. Ling Mo's mood seemed to have improved. He sat at the table and played with Pixiu for a while, and then happily ran out of the room again.
Not long after he left, Chen Yucai jumped down from the beam and looked at the door with a solemn light in his eyes.
This time, it can be said that he gained a lot. Not only did he clearly know the name and identity of the woman he rescued, but he also clearly understood that Hua Die and Ling Mo were indeed related.
Moreover, Bai Xiuxiu's case has also made further progress.
"The master and servant who were snatched back from the temple fair?"
Thinking about the concubine's conversation that he overheard behind the rockery, the light in Chen Yutian's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Although the concubines ultimately remained silent on the matter. But if what he expected was correct, this incident must have really happened, and the pair of master and servant should be Bai Xiuxiu and Yu'er.
"It seems that Bai Xiuxiu was indeed kidnapped by Ling Mo that day. So, could he be the murderer?"
After thinking like this, he opened the door and slowly walked down the stairs. But before he took a few steps, his eyes suddenly flashed as he looked at the stairs at his feet.
If he remembered correctly, the real cause of Bai Xiuxiu's death was that she died of cerebral hemorrhage after falling from a high place...
"Could it be..."
He quickly squatted down and carefully looked at the stairs at his feet. He climbed down one step at a time, and finally made a discovery on the first flight of stairs halfway.
Here, he found a relatively subtle trace of a bump.
This mark is very small, it looks like a small piece of wood has been broken and slightly dented. But the strange thing is that this small recessed area shows a slightly dull red color.
The steps of this staircase were originally paved with mahogany floors, so it doesn't matter even if the small recessed piece is red. But the problem is that this small piece of red is not the same as the red painted on the floor. same.
The red on the floor is bright red, the same color that is usually painted on buildings.
But the small patch of red that was recessed was dark red, more like the color of dried blood.
"I see……"
After carefully looking at the trace, Chen Yutian slowly raised his head, and a very beautiful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth...
…
Ling Miaoyin looked helplessly at the still sleeping girl in front of her.
Half a day has passed. According to Gongsun's estimation, she should have woken up long ago.
But why hasn't she woke up until now?
Gongsun also found this a bit strange. But her pulse was very stable, and it didn't look like there was a problem.
Gongsun frowned and left the room. As soon as he went out, he saw Chen Yutian coming back from outside.
"How is that girl doing?"
Seeing Gongsun standing at the door of the room, Chen Yutian asked.
Gongsun shook his head slightly and sighed: "I don't know why, she hasn't woken up until now. Based on her injuries and the internal power of my medicinal spirit, she should have woken up long ago. And there is no problem with her pulse. I really don’t know what went wrong?”
Hearing this, Chen Yutian smiled slightly.
Gongsun was puzzled and asked, "Sir, why are you laughing?"
Chen Yutian smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Gongsun, sometimes you can't wake up. It may not be a problem with your injury."
"Oh? What do you mean, sir?"
Chen Yutian smiled mysteriously and said, "Sir, you will know later."
After that, he opened the door and walked into the room directly.
When Ling Miaoyin saw him coming in, she immediately walked over and said, "You're back...she hasn't woken up yet, Mr. Gongsun has already thought of a way..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yutian gently raised his hand to interrupt him, and then took out a pink sachet embroidered with silver lotus flowers from his arms.
"This purse should be yours, right? Miss Yuhe?"
As he spoke, his eyes were locked on the face of the woman on the bed. When he said the word "Yu He", he clearly saw that the woman's eyelids suddenly blinked. But it was just for a moment, and after a moment, it immediately returned to normal.
Therefore, Ling Miaoyin did not discover this.
"What are you doing? She's not awake yet..."
"Miss Yuhe, you know in your heart whether you are awake or not, right?" Chen Yutian stared at the girl's face, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and said solemnly.
"Brother Chen, what are you doing?" Ling Miaoyin looked at the woman on the bed in confusion.
But the woman still showed no sign of waking up.
Chen Yutian couldn't help but sigh and said: "Alas... no one can wake up a person who is pretending to sleep. Miaoyin, let's go first..."
After saying that, he turned around and put the purse in his hand on the table in the room, then pulled Ling Miaoyin and left with him.
After they left for about a stick of incense, the girl on the bed blinked her eyelashes and suddenly opened her eyes.
She carefully sat up from the bed, looked around, and when she was sure there was no one else in the room, she slowly got off the bed and came to the table where the sachet was placed.
Looking at the sachet on the table, her expression changed.
Finally, with a hint of hatred, she picked up the sachet on the table.
At this moment, the door opened with a bang.
The girl was immediately startled, but when she saw the three figures in front of the door, she was completely stunned.
"You are indeed pretending to be unconscious." Chen Yutian looked at her and smiled slightly.
The shock in the girl's eyes gradually subsided, and she looked at Chen Yutian with slightly cold eyes. There is even some hostility and vigilance involved.
Chen Yutian waved his hand slightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we have no ill intentions towards you, otherwise, I wouldn't have saved you from those evil slaves."
After hearing this, the hostility in her eyes diminished, but the vigilance was still strong.
Chen Yutian knew that this was a very vigilant woman. Perhaps something had happened before that made her lack trust in anyone.
"Miss Yuhe, let's just call you that, okay?"
The girl nodded slightly.
"I know that you were chased by the group of slaves because you failed to assassinate Ling Mo. Can you tell me about this in detail?"
Chen Yutian looked at the girl and said slowly.
The girl said nothing, but from her eyes, it could be seen that she did not trust herself and others because she did not want to tell him what happened.
Chen Yutian suddenly felt helpless.
This woman's vigilance is really too strong. If she can't completely trust herself and others, trying to get the whole story from him will probably be no easier than getting the information from Hua Die.
"Don't worry, we are from the Imperial Court's Jiulong Mansion. If anything happens to you, just tell us and we will definitely seek justice for you!"
Ling Miaoyin whispered to the girl.
After listening to his words, the hostility in the girl's eyes was reduced a lot, but she still looked at everyone warily, without any intention of speaking.
Ling Miaoyin sighed helplessly.
Gongsun originally wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chen Yutian.
"Okay...if you don't want to talk for the time being, we won't force you. During this period, you can live here with peace of mind. Don't worry, this is Youzhou Guanyi, and no one dares to live here directly. Kill people, so you can stay here. We have other things to do, so we won’t disturb the girl’s rest.”
After that, Chen Yutian took Gongsun and Ling Miaoyin out of the room and closed the door.
Looking at the three people leaving, Yu He's eyes flickered slightly, and then he held the sachet in his hand tightly.
…
"Brother Chen, you..."
After leaving Yu He's room, Ling Miaoyin looked at Chen Yutian and hesitated to speak.
Chen Yutian sighed slightly and said, "Don't force her for the time being. If she can't trust us, then it's still a question whether we can fully believe her words."
Hearing this, Ling Miaoyin was stunned!
Chen Yutian ignored him again, but glanced at Gongsun and asked: "By the way, Mr. Gongsun, do you have any way to make the wiped blood stains reappear?"
