Reborn Black Lotus can read minds

Xiao Shun looked at her angrily, "Why! Are you hurting me?"

Shen Yuan lightly raised her eyelids: "You have some brains. I did it to confuse the public. What if she investigates nowhere, a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, beats the old master to death with random punches, and really traces us? What should we do?"

At least, now she will only think that it is a tall man wearing a short sword, and we have nothing to do with these two points. You buy a lot of your broken knives when you go to the market. Does it have any uniqueness? What are you afraid of? "

Xiao Shun felt that Shen Yuan was right and felt calmer.

"Besides, I have wiped our footprints clean on the fence. Think about it carefully, how can you, your height, cut a hole in such a high window pane when standing?"

Xiao Shun felt more at ease.

Shen Yuan ignored his slow thinking and gave serious instructions.

"The only advantage we have in confronting Xiao Yinlu at this time is that she is in the light and we are in the dark. If you really tell the eldest lady, you will reveal your identity. Don't be so reckless until you have to! Do you hear me?"

There was a hint of authority in Shen Yuan's calm tone, and Xiao Shun nodded obediently.

"Also, your third brother can't say anything either."

"Why?"

"The more people know, the more danger there is."

Not long after, Xiao Shun started to act stupid again: "If we go directly to Fifth Sister to confess everything and promise to keep her secret, will she let us go?"

Shen Yuan was helpless and sighed: "Do you think Xiao Yinlu will believe it?"

Xiao Shun was silent for a while, then sighed: "Then tell me, what should we do now?"

The indifferent moonlight outside the window shines into Shen Yuan

's eyes.

She said: "Just wait and see what happens."

At the same time, on the other side, Xiao Yinlu was playing with the knife in his hand, becoming more and more unable to sleep.

Almond is waiting.

"The place where the hole was poked is the west window. Where did the west window go?" Xiao Yinlu asked.

"Either the upper courtyard where the eldest lady lives, or... the third courtyard."

"But if the eldest lady sees..." Xing Xing thought for a while, as if thinking of the eldest lady's ferocious expression, she quickly shook her head in horror, "Absolutely impossible!"

"Third Courtyard?" Xiao Yinlu looked puzzled and frowned slightly, "Who are the people in the Third Courtyard?"

"The Third Courtyard has the smallest number of people. Except for two young masters and one steward, the rest are all servants. Moreover, the Third Courtyard is very heavily guarded. Every time the servants come in and out, there is a maid named Feng Ling who searches the body at the door, even with silver needles and I can’t even carry a hairpin, let alone a knife...it’s impossible..."

"Servant?" Xiao Yinlu looked at the knife in his hand and fell into deep thought, "...Except for the servant, who are the other men in the Third Academy?"

Xing Xing counted carefully, naturally ignoring the fourth young master Xiao Shun as a child, and replied: "The third young master, and... Manager Zhang."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yinlu's suspicion of Zhang Qian reached nine points.

"I'm going to test it out in person tomorrow, you don't have to accompany me," she regained her composure, "After all, I'm from the Third Academy, so I can't be too rash."

The second day turned out to be a rare good day. The sun was hidden behind the clouds. It was neither too hot nor too cold, but just warm enough.

The carriage bumped slightly, and Xiao Shun looked at Shen Yuan uneasily for a long time.

There is talk.

Shen Yuan said with a dark face: "I have something to say."

Xiao Shun looked at her in panic and said, "Don't think it's annoying to me. Just listen and I'll recite it to you again."

As he spoke, he coughed twice, cleared his throat, and memorized each word.

"You mean that day at midnight? Oh, it was so late, I was already napping in the room! I didn't hear any sound! Fifth sister, why don't you ask someone else?"

Xiao Shun recited it with great emotion and feeling good about himself.

Shen Yuan didn't even raise her head: "It's too blunt! No way!"

Xiao Shun looked at her aggrievedly, "I think this word is too blunt. Who would a normal person speak like this? And it's not in line with my language habits..."

"I asked you to write it yourself, but you can't. Who's to blame?"

Shen Yuan let out a long sigh, "I have been strong in martial arts and weak in writing since I was a child. I can't write brilliantly. If I can write any good words, you can just make do with it!"

"Is it true that she won't notice the clues?" Xiao Shun was a little worried.

"Instead of worrying about this and that, it's better to practice hard!"

"I see......"

Ever since Shen Yuan almost ran into Xiao Xingyun when she left the house for the first time, and caused a big disaster by riding a horse on the street, she learned her lesson and did not dare to leave the house on foot again. She always had a carriage ready at the side door for emergencies.

There are many horses prepared at the side door, mostly for the master. Under normal circumstances, no one would suspect it.

In order to prepare this carriage, Shen Yuan almost depleted the small treasury of the former maid Shen Yuan. Maybe she saved it and planned to redeem herself and return to her hometown to get married when she was older?

However, Shen Yuan does not have such plans now, so the money is considered well spent.

Two

After discussing important matters, the people got off the carriage.

Shen Yuan went to work in the backyard, while Xiao Shun played with a slingshot in the yard as usual.

A harmony.

Xiao Yinlu really came to the third hospital in person.

The wind chime stood outside the door, motionless, like a statue.

"I've met Miss Fifth." Feng Chime said without any human warmth.

Xiao Yinlu twisted his waist, looked her up and down, and said straight to the point: "Last night, I picked up a knife near here. Come and ask, which of you belongs to it?"

At the end, she added slowly, "It looks like the cost is not cheap. The owner must be very anxious!"

Feng Chime's face was expressionless, as if no one was talking to her: "The Third Courtyard is heavily guarded and servants are never allowed to carry knives. Please ask Miss Fifth to go elsewhere."

Xiao Yinlu was annoyed by Fengling's cold expression and continued walking forward.

She didn't know that the wind chimes were the same to everyone. Even if the eldest lady came, her attitude would not change at all.

Shen Yuan took a broom and lowered his head to sweep the yard, pretending not to see anyone.

Zhang Qian hurriedly greeted him.

"Fifth Miss, why are you here?" He pondered for a moment, "Are you looking for the Third Young Master? He has not been in the house these days. I'm afraid it will take some time for Fifth Miss to find him."

Xiao Yinlu was a little surprised. She looked around and thought to herself: "Since Xiao Xingyun is not here, doesn't it mean that there is only a piece of money left?"

But she looked at the smiling Zhang Qian suspiciously, and felt that it didn't look like him.

Her face was calm, and she did not alarm anyone. She just smiled softly and said, "Isn't the banquet coming up? The eldest lady is very busy, so she sent me over to see how the wine and fruits are being prepared?"

Zhang Qian touched his head blankly, five

When did the lady... take over the banquet fruits?

But he didn't dare to question the eldest lady's intention.

He bowed his hands and said, "Everything goes well, Fifth Miss, don't worry!"

Xiao Yinlu rolled his eyes and took a step forward, "Yesterday at Xu... I saw that the lights in the backyard were still on. What was Manager Zhang busy with?"

Zhang Qian pondered for a moment and said: "Yesterday at midnight...oh! These are fruits and vegetables, but they are worse. I asked the little maid to pick them in the backyard. Maybe the little girl was slow and it took a long time!"

Xiao Yinlu raised his eyelids and asked lightly: "Little maid? Which little maid?"
