Chu Shaodong walked out from behind the desk with his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the room.

Chu Shaodong has been struggling outside for nearly fifty years and has tasted a lot of bitterness, so he is scheming and strategic.

Although it doesn't mean anything when Shin Muchen goes to the temple late at night, if someone really hides it...

Chu Qingyan stood quietly aside. At this time, she knew her father's principles of doing things and would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.

"It's better not to be careless." As expected, Chu Shaodong decided to pass this matter to Yang Cheng.

Chu Shaodong asked Qingyan to bring paper and pen, and before writing it on a small white cloth strip on the temple, the general meaning was to say that there were spies in Qingguan Temple. After writing, he handed the cloth strip to Chu Qingyan and asked her to tie the white cloth strip to the pigeon's legs and put it out.

Just as Chu Qingyan was about to step out of the study, Chu Shaodong called her again.

"I heard that you went to Shen Muchen on the first night in the palace?" Chu Shaodong warned her to remember the purpose of going to the palace and not be confused. "Find an opportunity to let me go to the palace to meet Shen Zitian."

Chu Qingyan nodded to her father with a tense face.

"Daughter, I understand." He turned his head and stepped out of the study with a bitter face.

The reason why Chu Qingyan was valued by her father over the years was of no use except to help him keep in touch with Shen Zitian.

Qingyan set off the pigeon in the backyard, and watched the pigeon fly over the eaves and fly out of his own sight. Chu Qingyan smiled evilly.

Chu Qingyan knew that if he used his own hand to remove that person, Shen Muchen would find out why. The Chu family was too talkative and had a conspicuous target, which was destined to be unable to use the power of the Chu family to do this.

These methods are too obvious, and the best method will be killed by a foreigner with their hands. They always do things cleanly, and then they quietly return to Yangcheng. As long as they leave the imperial city, the murderer will be like a stone sinking into the sea, clean and neat.

After a while, the white dove shadow disappeared into the blue sky and the light smoke left.

Seeing Chu Qingyan leave, Chu Hongyang, who was hiding behind the pillar, came out.

It's not a prying look. After all, this is her own family, and Hongyang happened to pass by here and meet her sister. She wanted to come forward and say a few words and see her sister letting out a pigeon. This action was too strange. Hongyang vaguely felt that Chu Qingyan was anxious to come back this time not to see her family. She must have something to hide from her...

After the purpose of returning to the house was completed, Chu Qingyan ordered Bai Qi to call a carriage to prepare for the palace.

Just as Bai Lian was about to leave the house, he was stopped by a woman.

Chu Qingyan turned around and saw the woman obediently shouting "Mom"

The woman was Li Muhong, the eldest wife of the Chu family. She shouted Bai Qi with a bright face. "Bai Qi is back. Your master finally came back and of course he had to have a meal before leaving."

"After another cup of tea, you can have dinner."

Before Qingyan could speak, Li Muhong took Chu Qingyan's hand and walked into the house. While walking, he said, "I lost so much weight after leaving the Chu family. Tell me, there is no better Chu family in this palace... You girl insisted on marrying the emperor, but I don't object to you marrying into the palace, but it will be difficult for us to meet..."

The more Li Muhong said, the more sad he felt. Chu Qingyan looked at her appearance and probably would cry if she didn't stop her...

"Okay~" Qingyan patted Li Muhong and held her hand, "Isn't there Hongyang when Yan'er left? Hongyang can also accompany you to take care of you..."

"How can Hongyang compete with you?" Li Muhong murmured softly.

"What did you say?" Chu Qingyan thought it was Hongyang and made her angry again. She comforted her disapprovingly, "Hongyang's child is grown up, and now he is the pillar of the family. I heard that Hongyang has made a lot of efforts to accompany his father to do business everywhere in recent years..."

"Okay~" Li Muhong patted Qingyan's hand, "Even if you don't say good things for him, I understand in my heart that this child has indeed become much more sensible in recent years..." As he said that, he suddenly thought of Wan Wei, and felt mixed feelings. If Wan Wei was at this family, he would have been as big as Hong Yang. His nose was a little sore, "Okay, go and have a meal."

...

In the temple, outside the kitchen, I was squatting while brushing my own dishes. This was almost what she had to do every day, and she had done every move thousands of times.

After smearing the water stains on the last bowl, I walked towards the kitchen with the basin of water in the evening.

Before he got up, Li Wanli tripped by something under his feet. He held the huge basin in his hands and lost his center of gravity. With a clang, the metal basin fell to the ground, and the water splashed all over the basin.

Wan Wei felt nervous. At the critical moment, a powerful hand grabbed his arm from behind to prevent him from falling or even losing his face. After standing firm, Wan Wei faced the person behind him, but couldn't see his face, but he still didn't forget to say thank you politely.

"Why are you the only one here to wash dishes?" Dao Yuan's voice came from behind, "Where is Vina?"

I was relieved when I heard that it was Daoyuan's voice, and said with a smile, "Weina has something urgent to go out and ask me to help me."

After speaking, I didn't hear Daoyuan's voice. Wanli asked weakly at the air, "Daoyuan?"

"I'm here" Daoyuan recovered from his senses and quickly answered late.

Smile at night.

No one came to Wan Wei and asked quietly, "Did Vinaya give you a jade pendant last time?"

"Jade Pendant?" Li Wanli subconsciously touched the jade pendant that Shen Muchen gave him on his waist. Is there any other jade pendant beside him? Wanli had no impression and did not remember "What did you mean?"

"It's one piece..." Daoyuan was about to talk to Wan Li about the appearance of the jade pendant, but he stopped as soon as he opened his mouth.

Finally, he didn't say anything and laughed, "Forget it, maybe it fell into a certain place, I'll look for it again."

After saying that, he left.

strangeness.

After Daoyuan left, Wan Wei suddenly remembered it. She waved her hands in the air, "Daoyuan, are you talking about a piece of jade?"

"Yes! It's just a piece of jade!!" Daoyuan turned around and ran back, grabbing Wan Wei's hand, "Have you seen it?!"

It should be very happy from his voice.

Li Wanli touched the exterior wall and took him to his room, touched the drawer, opened the first drawer on the top, and found half of the broken pendant from it. "It's just that the jade pendant was broken by me." She handed half of the jade pendant to Daoyuan.

Wan Wei felt very guilty. He thought Daoyuan would get angry or regret when he took it, but he didn't expect that his tone would be very calm, "What about half of it left?"

The jade pendant was broken into two pieces, half of which was only a jade pendant and the other half was a jade ear. Now Daoyuan was holding the part without a jade ear.

"Where did the half with jade ears go?" Daoyuan's voice suddenly became dull, and even his tone of speaking was very different from usual.

The jade piece was touched late and was made of hollowed-out jade material. No matter how expensive and important the jade ear is, it is not as important as a good jade. However, the owner of the jade pendant didn't care about the jade but was thinking about the jade ear in his heart.

I vaguely heard that Daoyuan's tone was wrong. Wan Wei did not tell him that the half with the jade ear was taken away by Shen Muchen.

I calmed down and asked back, "Does there be a jade ear on that jade pendant?" "I lost it with a clumsy hand, but does that jade ear have any extraordinary significance to you?"
