"Why is daddy in a bad mood?" Tang Shujing asked while lying in her mother's arms.
"It's not because of that damn flower thief!" Mrs. Chen sighed, "Princess Lanling has ten days to solve the case and catch the flower thief, but eight full days have passed and not even the flower thief has been found... …”
"Seeing that the ten-day period is approaching, Princess Lanling will summon the governors and county magistrates of nearby counties in the camp outside the city tomorrow..."
"That flower picker likes to commit crimes in Yingzhou. Your father is the governor of Yingzhou. He will go to the camp outside the city tomorrow. I'm afraid... eh..."
"..."
Mrs. Chen shook her head and looked very melancholy.
Tang Shujing, who was lying in her arms, had already brightened up.
But she didn't intend to tell anyone about the discovery of the flower picker.
Because she wanted to use this to become a sensation and shock everyone's jaws.
But seeing the melancholy look on Mrs. Chen's face, she couldn't bear it. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally had to persuade: "Mom, don't worry, the flower picker will definitely be caught, and daddy will be fine!"
Mrs. Chen sighed: "I hope so!"
…
When Su Xian and Yang Zhilan returned home, it was getting late.
After taking a shower, Su Xian was ready to go back to his room to rest.
Because I killed Tang Shujing today, I am not hungry yet, and I don’t need to eat dinner...
However, standing in front of the bedroom door, Su Xian was about to push the door open when something suddenly occurred to his mind. He grabbed a passing maid and asked:
"Where is your lady? Why can't she be seen?"
"..."
The "Miss" in his mouth refers to Chen Keyan.
These days, Chen Keyan always likes to stick to him, or peek at him. As soon as she comes home, she can see Chen Keyan's shadow wandering around in front of her eyes.
But after being home for so long this time, Su Xian didn't even see her.
It's really weird...
The maid saluted and replied: "Master Qi, the lady is resting in the room."
Su Xian: "Going to bed so early? Doesn't she need dinner?"
The maid said: "Young lady has sand in her eyes, and she is not ready yet. She ordered her to eat in the room."
"..."
As soon as Su Xian heard the maid say "sand", he remembered what happened in the toilet during the day.
After all, she is a woman. Although she always likes to talk crazy things, today's events must have had a great impact on her... Su Xian shook his head, dismissed the maid, and went straight into the house, no longer paying attention to Chen Keyan's matter.
After entering the house, Su Xian and Yang Zhilan immediately started to rest.
As expected, Yang Zhilan will go out to arrest flower pickers tonight. She doesn’t know how long she will be busy, so Su Xian told her to get some sleep first...
It's quiet at night.
Haishi.
Su Xian and Yang Zhilan, who had fallen into a deep sleep, were suddenly awakened by the sound of a gong coming from the city wall.
A loud bang!
Not talking about Su Xian, Yang Zhilan stood up from the floor like a javelin and subconsciously made a defensive posture.
Su Xian stood up, picked his ears, waved to Yang Zhilan and said:
"Don't be nervous, it's time for you to go."
"..."
This earth-shattering sound of gongs was the code for today's discussion in the private room of Zuixian Tower.
It means calling Yang Zhilan, it's time to go out.
"Yes, sir, take care!"
"Don't worry, it's just for one night. Remember to pay attention to your safety."
"..."
Yang Zhilan looked at Su Xian, hesitated a little, and finally jumped out of the window and disappeared.
In fact, Yang Zhilan didn't want to help with the arrest of the flower picker.
But after Su Xian learned about the progress of Tang Shujing's handling of the case, he discovered that the case would be resolved tonight, so Yang Zhilan only left for one night, and no one knew about it except Tang Shujing.
So Su Xian is not worried about his own safety.
After Yang Zhilan left, the house seemed a little empty.
Su Xian rolled out of bed, looked up at the hole in the wall, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Liu, although it is a little late today, what is supposed to come will still come!"
After saying that, Su Xian rubbed his hands and climbed up the wooden ladder directly to the wall.
…
…
It is said that Chen Keyan sneaked into Liu Huixiang's boudoir. After looking around, she found nothing and finally returned without interest.
】
Back in her room, she continued to be bored with her two maids.
When dusk approached, seeing that Su Xian and Yang Zhilan had not gone home yet, Chen Keyan rolled her eyes and a bad idea came to her mind——
Sneak into Liu Huixiang's boudoir and spy undercover!
First, it can satisfy her boredom of voyeurism.
Secondly, there might be other discoveries, such as Su Xian touching it in the middle of the night.
Nowadays, the relationship between Su Xian and Liu Huixiang has long been known throughout the city. Although Chen Keyan stays at home all day long, she can still know what is going on outside through her maid who goes out to buy groceries.
After this period of observation, Chen Keyan discovered that the relationship between Su Xian and the widow next door was unusual.
It's much more intimate than what's spread outside...
Just do it.
Chen Keyan made preparations. Before Su Xian and Yang Zhilan went home, she sneaked into Liu Huixiang's boudoir through the window and hid under the bed.
Not long after hiding, the door of the room was pushed open. Hearing the voice, it must be the widow and her only servant entering the house.
Then there was the sound of rushing water again. Chen Keyan turned slightly under the bed, slowly opened the hanging sheets, and saw the scene of Liu Huixiang washing her feet.
Soon, the healthy servant went out carrying the footbath.
Liu Huixiang took the four treasures of the study from outside the door, placed them one by one on the table, then sat down and wrote and drew with a brush in hand.
The night in the Liu family was particularly quiet.
Chen Keyan gently pulled the bed sheet aside again. Due to the angle of view, she could see the hem of Liu Huixiang's lower body, but her upper body was invisible because of the table.
But just by looking at the skirt of Liu Huixiang's lower body, her sitting posture, and the placement of her legs and feet, Chen Keyan secretly praised in her heart:
"This widow is not ordinary, she is comparable to a lady from a noble family! No wonder Su Xian doesn't dislike her status as a widow..."
"..."
Chen Keyan did not know Liu Huixiang's life experience.
She thought Liu Huixiang was just a girl from an ordinary family.
As time passed, Chen Keyan, who was lying motionless on her side at the bottom of the bed, discovered that although Liu Huixiang got up from time to time and took a few steps, she did not take off her makeup for a long time and fell asleep.
After all, the night is already deep.
Moreover, Chen Keyan also discovered that Liu Huixiang always preferred one direction and liked to stop and stand silently under a wall for a long time...
A long time passed.
Chen Keyan clearly heard Liu Huixiang's yawn.
She thought Liu Huixiang was about to fall asleep, right?
But Liu Huixiang only got up and took two steps, walked around under the wall twice, then returned to the chair next to the table, sat down, and continued writing.
What is she waiting for? Why don't you take a rest at this late hour? Could it be that... Chen Keyan was also a little sleepy, but after making this discovery, her spirit was shaken.
Unconsciously, the drums of Haishi sounded.
It's very late.
Liu Huixiang stood up. This time she did not go under the wall, but walked towards the dressing table.
It seemed like she was going to take off her makeup and get ready to rest, so wasn't my happiness in vain... Chen Keyan was lying under the bed, feeling a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the city wall!
That's the sound of a gong!
It was obviously not the sound of the clock.
Liu Huixiang was startled and exclaimed "Ah".
Chen Keyan under the bed was also covering her turbulent heart, secretly cursing that the people patrolling the city wall deserved to die!
He was beating gongs and drums in the middle of the night, he was sick!
After a while, Liu Huixiang was sitting in front of the dressing table and starting to remove her makeup.
Under the bed, in the darkness, Chen Keyan's bright eyes flickered, and she thought to herself: "It seems like that's it for tonight. I'll go back after she falls asleep."
However, at this moment, a series of dull sounds suddenly came from the room, dong dong dong dong, it seemed that someone was tapping the wall with their hands.
Chen Keyan frowned slightly. Before she could figure out the source of the noise, she saw Liu Huixiang flying up in front of the dressing table and running towards the wall with cheerful steps...
What's wrong with her? Does this have anything to do with the noise just now? It seems a bit interesting... Chen Keyan's bright eyes flickered and she was very energetic under the bed.
