Out of absolute trust in Yinnuo's abilities, Wen Xiaoyun slept quite peacefully that night. But when she opened her eyes the next day, her heart immediately went cold.
Through the faint white light from the window, she vaguely saw the position of the bed next to her. The new and soft mattress was flat and empty, with no one there.
Wen Xiaoyun felt a chill in her heart. She sat up suddenly and looked around the room hurriedly, her long hair flowing left and right.
Yinnuo's quilt still kept the neatly folded appearance it had last night, with no slight movement. The door leaf was also closed tightly.
He actually didn't come back all night.
Wen Xiaojun's brows immediately turned into knots. Although he had already said hello that he might not come back, when he really didn't come back, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Most of the small cases that have been troubling Yinnuo recently are fake cases and small cases that someone has been assigned to pick up.
For Yinnuo, cracking is not difficult at all. And he hadn't had a good rest for too many days in a row. If he could force him to give up a whole night's rest, the incident while traveling would definitely be a big deal.
Just when Wen Xiaoyun was in a state of panic, someone suddenly knocked twice on the door outside.
Wen Xiaoyun's heart suddenly rose to her throat. She had fastened the bolt on the courtyard door. If someone from the yamen wanted to come in, they would have to knock on the outside door.
Therefore, the only people who could directly knock on her door were Yin Nuo or intruders who jumped over the wall.
She hugged the quilt tightly and tried to relax her tone. She pretended to be in a hazy state and said lazily, "Yinnuo, there seems to be someone outside. Go and open the door..."
The people outside were obviously startled when they heard this, and then they couldn't help laughing, "Am I coming down now?"
Wen Xiaoyun's tense nerves instantly relaxed, it was really Yin Nuo.
She gathered her clothes and wanted to go down to the ground to open the door for him. Unexpectedly, before she touched the edge of the kang, the dead bolt on the outside door leaf was lifted up by itself.
Wen Xiaoyun's movements immediately froze and he stayed where he was.
Someone outside can actually open the door bolt inside?
When the door bolt was completely removed from the lock, the door leaf was slowly pushed open.
Yin Nuo also came in with an angry complaint, "Why don't you seal the door bolt? Isn't it the same as unlocking the door if it's locked?"
Wen Xiaoyun was a little confused when she heard this, but she did not reveal her doubts at all.
Just by listening to Yin Nuo's words, she could also guess that the door latch she had never heard of should be ancient common sense knowledge.
At this moment, Wen Zhuyun in her mind added an unprecedented comment to her, "The door latch, as the name suggests, is a small opening around the door latch. Ancient doors did not have the peepholes of your modern society, and there were also holes between the door leaves. There is always a little gap.
Every door of a wealthy family or an official's house has a bolt opening. Just so that the visitor can be seen at night, the door bolt is completely pinned to prevent people from outside from picking the lock. It was indeed a common sense detail in ancient times. "
Three thick black lines instantly slid down Wen Xiaoyun's forehead.
"Please, my elder brother Zhuyun, can you tell me in advance next time you try this kind of knowledge that is related to your wealth and life?"
"You have never made such a request before, how can I tell you? When engaging in prison inference, you cannot even predict this in advance. If you take countermeasures early, even if you are really assassinated, you will still deserve it."
Wen Xiaoyun:···
She was so angry twice in the morning that she was also drunk.
But the most important thing at hand is how to solve Yinnuo's seemingly ordinary problem.
Otherwise, where would she put her face as Feng Mingchao's most talented young man?
She closed the quilt around her and subconsciously shrank into the kang, frowning and looking impatient, "I really don't understand good people's hearts. I'm not worried that I won't be able to open the door for you in time if I can't sleep well at night." , I delayed your rest and risked my life by being assassinated, so why did I leave the door open for you?"
Hearing these words, Yinnuo, who was turning around to close the door, felt a warm current flowing through his heart.
But he was still muttering bravely, "Nonsense, leaving the door open for me is not as important as your safety? Why didn't I know that you have become such a mother-in-law now?"
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the room. When he passed the square table, he took out the fire stick and lit the candlestick on the table.
The orange candlelight immediately dispersed the darkness in the room, and when he looked up, he saw a scene beyond his imagination.
Wen Xiaoyun was sitting on the kang, her collar was loose, her long hair was disheveled, her cheeks were flushed and her big eyes were staring at him.
Yinnuo's throat suddenly tightened, and he hastily turned his back to Wen Xiaoyun.
Due to the dim light, Wen Xiaoyun was not even aware of Yinnuo's sudden blush. She put down the cup, reached out and took out the wooden hairpin placed under the pillow, neatly tied up her long hair, quickly put on her coat, and got out. He got off the kang and put on his shoes, "I haven't been back all night. Do you want to sleep for a while?"
