Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Cheng Wan and Inspector Luo naturally broke up on bad terms.

Cheng Wan knew that Inspector Luo did have good intentions for her in persuading her to leave the officialdom, although this kind of good intentions was not much.

But Cheng Wan finally entered the officialdom and had not yet done what he wanted to do. How could he want to quit just because of a murder that ended abruptly?

"Master Cheng?"

When Xiao Tongtai and others saw Cheng Wan coming back, they all took a few steps forward. Xiao Tongtai looked at Cheng Wan's expression, put down the stone in his heart, and asked with a smile: "What errands has Mr. Luo arranged for Mr. Cheng?"

Cheng Wan gave a slight salute to several people as usual, and said in a brisk voice, "That's not the case. Mr. Luo just asked me how I feel about Xingnongya these days. I would like to warn me to treat you well in the future." Study and do the errands at hand.”

Cheng Wan joked with Xiao Tongtai and others for a while. The moment the bell rang, everyone ended their joking in a tacit agreement and quickly returned to their offices to pack their things and prepare to go home.

No matter where you are, everyone has high expectations for the holidays.

Cheng Wan returned to his office, picked up his New Year's gift, locked the door of the office, and walked towards the gate of Xingnong Yamen.

When he met colleagues and government servants he knew or were familiar with on the road, Cheng Wan would actively or passively say hello to them.

"Miss Cheng!"

Before Cheng Wan left the gate of Xingnong Yamen, he heard an anxious voice.

Cheng Wan followed the voice and looked over. It was Shaoqing.

Shaoqing stood on tiptoe and waved to Cheng Wan, his face full of urgency. Next to Shaoqing stood Deng Xiong.

Cheng Wan's heart tightened, and she quickly walked out of the gate of Xingnong Yamen and walked toward Shaoqing and Deng Xiong.

"Shaoqing, what?"

"Miss Cheng, there is something wrong with my young master. Go and see him quickly!"

Before Cheng Wan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shaoqing's soft words.

Cheng Wan's eyebrows twitched and her heart was raised. She handed what she was carrying to Deng Xiong and said seriously: "Third brother, you go back first. When my mother and the others ask, just say that Mr. Gu has something to discuss with me." ,no need to worry."

After saying that, Cheng Wan decisively got on the carriage that Shaoqing had driven over, "Let's go, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it on the way!"

Shaoqing rubbed his face hard, not daring to delay, got into the front room of the carriage, whipped his whip, and drove the carriage in the direction of Gu's house.

Deng Xiong stood there in a daze, looked down at the things in his hands, and a look of worry appeared on his face. After struggling for a while, he put the things into the carriage and drove the carriage back to the random building. .

"drive!"

While driving the carriage, Shaoqing leaned back slightly to talk to Cheng Wan.

"My young master has been out of the city on errands with Prince Mu these past two days. He only came back at noon today. Everything was fine.

But the young master had just arrived home and hadn't had much rest. Just as he was about to sit down and have something to eat, someone brought something to report, saying that someone had asked my young master to go out of the house for a chat.

My young master was very excited after seeing that thing and ran out immediately.

The younger one thought that the young master had encountered something particularly happy, and he was still happy for the young master, but when my young master comes back..."

Shaoqing pursed his lower lip and looked particularly ugly.

"When I look at my young master, he looks like... he seems to have been drained of all his energy.

I don’t know how to describe it. Anyway, I feel that my young master seems to be very sad. He locked himself in the study and refused to let me in. He didn’t even respond to the young master’s call to him, so he only asked me to leave him alone. The young master carried him back to the house.

Miss Cheng, I don’t know about the others, but I feel that no matter what, my young master would be very willing to see you.

That's why I came to you boldly. I hope Miss Cheng, please don't blame me. "

Cheng Wan shook his head slightly and said seriously: "You did the right thing."

At the gate of Gu's Mansion, as soon as Shaoqing stopped the carriage, Cheng Wan got out of the carriage, jumped off the carriage and walked quickly towards the gate of Gu's Mansion.

After entering the gate of Gu Mansion, Cheng Wan walked all the way and saw that Cheng Wan's servants all bowed to Cheng Wan quietly and respectfully, and then went about doing whatever they were supposed to do.

Shaoqing followed Cheng Wan and walked quickly to the main courtyard where Gu Yan's study was located.

Shaoqing waved to a servant guarding the study in the distance, "Let me ask you, is the master still in the study?"

"Here, I have been guarding the study as you ordered. The master has not shown his face since he came back."

Shaoqing waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let everyone in this courtyard go out. No one is allowed to go near the main courtyard without my order."

Now the servant took the order and left. Shaoqing looked at Cheng Wan who was walking towards the study and followed quickly.

"Miss Cheng, please knock on the door for you."

With that said, Shaoqing walked to the door of the study in two big steps. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and knocked on the door of the study carefully.

"Master? Master, did you hear that? Master, Miss Cheng is here. Master, please open the door. It's Miss Cheng!"

Cheng Wan's face was calm. She stared at the study door in front of her and her ears twitched.

There was movement inside.

Shaoqing obviously heard it too, he almost cried with joy, and his tone of voice unconsciously became lighter, "Master! As a kid, you know it will be useful to ask Miss Cheng. Master, if you have anything to say, just tell Miss Cheng, don't hold it back In my heart, Master"

"Shaoqing, send Miss Cheng back."

The smile on Shaoqing's face froze, while Cheng Wan raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Jin Jin, what is Gu Yan doing?"

"Master, he was standing not far from the door, staring at the door and doing nothing else."

Naturally, Shaoqing couldn't hear the exchange between Cheng Wan and Jin Jin. He wanted to continue knocking on the door, but Cheng Wan reached out to stop him.

Cheng Wan looked at the obstructing door in front of her, her eyes narrowed slightly and her voice was flat, "You don't want to see me?"

There was silence inside and outside the door.

"I want to stay by myself for a while and let Shaoqing take you back. I'll go find you tomorrow, no, two days later."

Shaoqing was so anxious that he almost cried. He didn't expect to call Cheng Wan over. Gu Yan still refused to see anyone and said he would wait for a while, but he had been here for a long time!

"Shaoqing, you go and accompany Suisui first. I'll just come here." Cheng Wan said softly to Shaoqing.

Shaoqing opened his mouth, a little worried about his young master.

Cheng Wan smiled at him and said, "Don't worry."

Shaoqing turned around and walked away. When Shaoqing was no longer visible, Cheng Wan pushed open the study door.

Gu Yan thought there was no movement outside because Shaoqing and Cheng Wan had already left.

He didn't expect that the door would be suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the door was obviously locked by him from the inside.

At this time, Gu Yan looked at Cheng Wan who was walking towards him step by step, his body stiffened little by little, and his hands in his sleeves clenched into fists little by little.

Cheng Wan looked up at Gu Yan, feeling depressed.

His whole body was dejected, his face was gloomy, his eyes were dark, full of desolation and death.

The last time I saw Gu Yan like this was when I met him on the way to escape.
