Shen Qingyu couldn't hold it any longer and immediately got up and went to the yard to check.

It was already midnight, and if it hadn't been for that voice just now, the entire courtyard would have been quiet, but now the lights were brightly lit, and people's voices were gradually becoming noisier.

Shen Qingyu and others live in the courtyard where they are the only family. Except for the personal attendants, most of the guards and servants live in the outer courtyard, that is, those who come in from the outside have to pass through two layers of guards.

From this point of view, the maid's statement that she saw someone peeking through the crack of the door is somewhat untenable, because there must be everyone in this yard, so who would do such a thing?

Shen Qingyu didn't want to draw too arbitrary a conclusion, so she took the lead in going to the room where Shen Qingzhi lived to check.

Shen Qingzhi's house was not closed, and many people were already standing at the door. Mrs. Sun and the girl were both there, interrogating the girl who shouted.

The little girl said tremblingly: "I didn't lie. I really saw a pair of eyes looking in."

It could be seen that Mrs. Sun had just gotten up from the bed, and there were still traces of sleep on her face. She was still a little sleepy, so she cheered up and asked: "Why don't you take a look, where is there anything in this yard?"

Outsiders come in? Could it be that you are talking nonsense and taking the opportunity to cause trouble?"

The little girl's head almost dropped to the ground, and she said in fear: "I dare not lie!"

Shen Qingyu also felt that there was really no need for this girl to lie.

When Mrs. Sun saw Shen Qingyu actually put on her clothes and came out, her face showed some impatience unconsciously, but she suppressed it and forced out a smile and said: "Why are you out so late? It's such a cold day.

Don't get too cold and go back quickly."

These words of concern were very elder-like. Shen Qingyu shook her head and expressed the need to care about Shen Qingzhi's condition, "Is there anything wrong with Fourth Sister?"

Seeing Shen Qingyu ask about her daughter, Sun's impatience was suppressed in her heart, and she said: "I'm just scared, nothing else."

"Then I'll go in and see her."

After Shen Qingyu finished speaking, she entered the room without waiting for Sun to express her position.

In the room, Shen Qingzhi was huddled on the bed wrapped in a quilt. She was still shivering, partly because of fear and partly because of the cold.

In the winter, the door is not closed, and naturally the temperature inside the house is not very high. There is a charcoal fire burning in the house, but it is better than nothing.

Shen Qingyu came to the bed and asked softly: "Fourth sister, are you okay?"

Shen Qingzhi's attitude towards Shen Qingyu has always been mediocre. This time, perhaps because she was frightened, she was a little more enthusiastic towards Shen Qingyu than usual. She stopped her swaying and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister, I'm fine."

But her green face didn't look like she was okay. Shen Qingyu came closer and asked with concern: "Is everything really okay?"

Shen Qingzhi actually couldn't explain clearly what she was afraid of. Apart from the knock on the door, the eyes looking in from the outside were what the girl told her. In fact, she didn't face such terrible things head-on, but she still controlled it.

I can't help but be afraid.

She took a few deep breaths, then managed to suppress the timidity in her heart and said, "It's okay! It's already late at night, you'd better go back quickly!"

Of course Shen Qingyu didn't want to go back just like that, so she asked: "Fourth sister, after you heard the knock on the door, didn't you open the door immediately to see who was outside?"

"I had already fallen asleep at that time, and I didn't hear the first few knocks on the door. Then the knocks kept coming, and I woke up in a daze. I asked Caiyi what was going on, and she said it was someone knocking.

The door, and then she opened the door and looked out." Shen Qingzhi said.

Caiyi should be the girl that Mrs. Sun was interrogating, so this little girl named Caiyi was a little suspicious. After hearing the knock on the door, I don't know if she really answered the door immediately.

Seeing that Shen Qingzhi couldn't ask anything from Shen Qingzhi, Shen Qingyu comforted Shen Qingzhi and said, "Then you have a good rest! I will see you again during the day tomorrow."

When she came out of the house, Mrs. Sun was still interrogating the little girl. She stood at the door in such a cold weather and did not say anything about going inside.

Sun asked: "Let me ask you one last time, did you really see someone peeking into the house?"

Caiyi said: "That's true. After hearing the knock on the door, the slave went to the door and asked who it was. No one answered. The slave suspected that she had heard wrongly, so she turned around and went back. Not long after, she heard another knock on the door.

This time, the knocking on the door was not like the first one, which stopped after one ringing sound. Instead, it was knocked many times in a row, and then the girl got into a fight."

So that’s it!

Shen Qingyu thought about it and walked around to the door. The houses in Buqiu Temple were all built very solidly, and so were the wooden doors here.

However, there is a sign of collapse on such a thick wooden door, which seems to have been smashed out with something.

The courtyard is paved with stones. Except for the walking areas, which are cleaned, the rest of the ground is buried in snow.

So she easily found a stone on the snow that didn't match the surroundings.

Shen Qingyu thought of the marks on the wooden door and easily guessed the connection. The first knock on the door was probably caused by someone hitting the door with a stone.

It's just that Shen Qingyu couldn't understand why he chose to throw stones at the first knock on the door when people had sneaked in. Couldn't he have just knocked on the door by himself?

She put the problem aside for the moment. Over there, Mrs. Sun had already asked Caiyi to stand up. Although she was not punished, she did not want her to stay with Shen Qingzhi anymore.

Shen Qingyu felt that this was very convenient for her. At least when she wanted to investigate and question Caiyi, she no longer had to obtain Shen Qingzhi's consent.

Rao Xue, who had been following quietly beside her, saw that Shen Qingyu had no intention of going back yet, so she frowned and said, "Girl, you have to go back today. If you have anything to do, come back during the day tomorrow."

Shen Qingyu nodded and agreed with her words, but her mind was still on the person who had sneaked in. If possible, the most important thing for her was to figure out how the person got in and how he got out.

No matter how careless the guard is, he shouldn't have made such a big mistake. So is it possible for this person to climb over the wall from other places and enter?

The high wall of Buqiu Temple is much higher than the ordinary city wall. If you can climb over it, you must be a martial arts master.

It is hard to imagine that such a person climbed over the wall just to look into the house with his eyes open. Of course, if there were other purposes, it would be difficult to investigate clearly in a short while.

In the end, they couldn't find the person Caiyi said was leaning on the crack in the door and looking in. Except that Shen Qingzhi was frightened, there was no other loss. Sun had no other solution except to order to be more vigilant.
