"Ali, did you hear any sound?"

"Maybe it's the fat cat in the kitchen? It makes quite a lot of noise when it walks."

At this moment, a sturdy cat happened to walk out from the open space under the eaves, meowed, and jumped into the flower bed beside it.

Cui Lingyi laughed immediately.

"I was right, wasn't I? It's really a cat!"

Shan Ya also nodded.

"It's good to be a cat."

.......

Seeing the two men walking away, Shen Du shook off Xu Junyao's hand.

Xu Junyao then opened his mouth, which he had been covering.

"Hahahaha, the fat cat in the kitchen! Zhongfu, did you hear that?"

When he looked up, there was no one in front of him. Xu Junyao put away his fan in disappointment and hurried to catch up.

Songhe Garden was soon reached, and Xu Junyao reached out and grabbed Shen Du again!

"Why are you following so closely? Dan Ya has very good hearing ability, don't let him find out!"

Shen Du turned around, and his cold eyes stabbed him like two knives.

Xu Junyao shrank back.

"I mean, if Little Tail knew you were following her in the middle of the night, she would be very angry."

Hearing this, Shen Du retracted his leg, and the two of them stood behind a low flower tree and observed everything in the yard.

Shan Ya first stuffed something into the window of the main house, and then the two of them pushed the door open and went in.

Seeing this, Xu Junyao couldn't help but let out a "tsk".

"This little tail has changed a lot. He has even learned how to use drugs! He has been led astray..."

A cold light came towards him and Xu Junyao closed his mouth instantly.

When he saw Shen Du had entered the yard, he hurried to follow.

......

After Cui Lingyi and Shan Ya entered the house, they turned on the lights.

Seeing that Cui Zizhen was indeed fast asleep in the tent, the two men began to search for things.

Compared to the study, the dormitory is bigger and has more things in it.

Cui Zizhen had the habit of reading at night, so there was a small study room in his dormitory.

In addition, there are a lot of ornaments and calligraphy and paintings in the room, making it look quite messy.

The two of them could only start from the beginning and search bit by bit.

"Ali, are you sure that thing is not in your father's study?"

"No," Cui Lingyi shook her head. "I looked carefully last night. Didn't you notice that my father likes to hide things in the dormitory, as if it's safer here? I think that thing must be here!"

Shan Ya nodded.

"Then look carefully."

Soon, the two of them searched all the places where things could be hidden.

In the end, Shan Ya even knocked on the walls and floor tiles, but found nothing.

This scene made Xu Junyao, who was hiding outside, scratch his head.

"What is Little Tail looking for? She's still in her father's room."

Shen Du snorted coldly, "No matter what you are looking for, it is on the bed."

Xu Junyao was surprised, "How do you know? Do you want me to tell..."

"Just shut up. Will you die if you say less?!" Shen Du glared at him fiercely.

That's what he thought.

If Cui Lingyi really can't find what she's looking for, wait until she leaves.

He went in and found everything under the bed and brought them to her.

Even if she would be angry because of his stalking her in the middle of the night!

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Cui Lingyi pull open the tent and ask the one named Shan Ya to move Cui Zizhen aside.

Sure enough, after lifting the mat, a small secret compartment appeared before my eyes.

Xu Junyao exclaimed in surprise again.

"Zhongfu, you are right. How did you know that the thing was on the bed? Could it be that you have been here before?"

Shen Du looked at him inexplicably, "What's so difficult about this? Don't you see that the most tightly wrapped thing in this room is this bed?"

Xu Junyao looked at it and nodded, "Indeed, Cui Zizhen really likes to put everything in the dormitory, and the bed is the most private place in the dormitory."

While the two were talking, Cui Lingyi had already taken out all the things hidden in the secret compartment.

He then asked Shan Ya to restore Cui Zizhen to her original sleeping position.

The two of them then looked through the pile of things they had found.

Cui Lingyi first picked out the certificate of severance of engagement that had been certified by the government and read it. After confirming that it was correct, she put it in her arms.

Then I started looking at other things.

When she saw the three words "Yue Zhongqi" on the thick stack of bills, she knew that her guess was true.

The Yue family came to propose marriage, and although they did not bring any betrothal gifts, they did give something - the operating rights of the Yue family's underground money house.

Yue Zhongqi is the second son of the Yue family. Before he was arrested and imprisoned, he was the commander of the Shangjing garrison.

This position is not of high rank, but it is a real lucrative position.

The four gates of Shangjing City, including the twelve entrances and exits, were all under the jurisdiction of the garrison commander.

Anyone entering or leaving the city gate had to pass under his eyes.

Even with a good job in hand, he was still secretly running an underground money house.

The dowry money that Cui Zizhen had given her before was taken from here.

Shan Ya flipped through it twice and clenched her fists.

"Ali, your father is so brave that he even dares to do something that could get him killed! He is really crazy about money! Isn't he afraid of killing you too?"

Cui Lingyi glanced coldly at Cui Zizhen who was still in a coma and frowned.

"What can I do? I was probably tricked by someone in the beginning. Now I can't turn back. I have no choice but to go on."

Connecting what had happened before and after, she had a basic guess.

The Yue family should have been alert before the incident.

In order to eliminate related traces, the Yue family transferred the management rights of the underground money house to Cui Zizhen in the name of proposing marriage.

I went to Xiancao Valley to look for her before, but now I think about it, it was probably just a cover.

Xiancao Valley is in the south of Binzhou, and the root cause of the Yue family’s downfall was also in Binzhou.

The grandfather and grandson must have taken something away from Beijing, or they were going to deal with something.

But none of this is her business.

If they dare to plot against her, don't blame her for biting back.

"Ali, what are you going to do with these things? Do you want me to take them back to the Li family?" Shan Ya shook the things in her hand.

"No, these things will be needed tomorrow. When you go back, tell Sister Pearl about this..."

Cui Lingyi asked Shan Ya to come closer and whispered what to do next.

Shan Ya nodded repeatedly after listening.

The two of them were so close that Shen Du, who was peeking outside, was furious.

If Xu Junyao hadn't held him back, he might have rushed in on the spot and knocked Shan Ya out.

Fortunately, after the two of them left Songhe Garden, Shan Ya quickly climbed over the wall and left, and Cui Lingyi also returned to Zither Pavilion.

Shen Du, who had been following behind, finally released his clenched fists.

"Zhongfu, did you hear what they said just now?"

"no!"

At this moment, Shen Du just felt upset and had no mood to think about anything else.

He saw clearly that when entering and leaving Songhe Garden, Cui Lingyi's hand was always holding Shan Ya's.

This made him very angry.

In the past, when Cui Lingyi chased after him, she didn't hold his hand like that.

And in such a dark night!

It really pissed him off!
