The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

When Jiang Zhiyue arrived at Pinghu Garden, Lin Jingqiu was not very sober.

She vaguely knew that someone had come in, but she didn't know who it was.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't say anything, but stood far away at the door. Changying and Changhui went in to look for her, and even looked under Lin Jingqiu's bed but didn't find anyone.

Jiang Zhiyue glanced at Wenzhu, and Wenzhu immediately followed him out.

"Keep a good eye on the person and don't let any information leak out."

Jiang Nianshi must be somewhere in the mansion, so there is no need to tell Lin Jingqiu about this.

If Lin Jingqiu goes too crazy, things will be difficult to handle.

She also wanted to know who was manipulating Lin Jingqiu behind the scenes.

If Lin Jingqiu is killed, it will be difficult to find clues.

After coming out of Pinghu Garden, Jiang Zhiyue thought for a while and took people to the vicinity of the library.

She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, Jiang Nianshi was a man of few words and liked to stay in the library, staying there for the whole day.

I don't know if it is the case now, but I have to try my luck.

The Duke of Ying's family was originally of military descent, but the two mistresses they married into the family were both from scholarly families.

Nowadays, most of the books in the library were brought from home by Old Lady Yan and Jiang Zhiyue’s deceased mother Yu Qi. The breadth of their collection is unimaginable.

When Jiang Zhiyue was very young, her mother took her to the library. Influenced by her grandmother, she also loved reading.

For several years, I spent almost all my time in the library, reading through every book in it.

Therefore, she knew all the places in the library where people could be hidden.

There are many rare ancient books in the library, so after nightfall, fewer lights are used in the building and more night-shining pearls are used.

It is also a unique treasure of her maternal grandfather's family, the Yu family in Jieyang.

Because my grandmother brought a lot of precious books, my grandfather treasured them very much.

When the library was being built, my grandfather specially invited Yan Ji, the Minister of Works at the time, to design it.

There is no need to mention the luxury of the library, but its exquisiteness is what is most worth mentioning.

When reading during the day, there is natural light, which is transparent and bright. The most important thing is that there are small mechanisms on each floor to separate the floors.

This is to prevent the fire from spreading if there is a fire in the library, so as to avoid it being difficult to put out.

It was already late, and my father and uncle had already gone out to work.

When Jiang Zhiyue arrived, he saw two maids cleaning.

"When did you come?"

Jiang Zhiyue gave a look and Changying asked about the two maids, asking if they had seen the young master, but they all shook their heads.

Jiang Zhiyue waved his hand, and Changying said, "Go and do your work. I'll call you if there's anything else."

Chang Hui looked around the library and blinked: "Miss, will the young master be here?"

Jiang Zhiyue shook his head: "I don't know, you and Changying don't have to follow me, go look for it."

"Yes." Chang Ying Chang Hui responded.

Jiang Zhiyue ran straight to the stairs and walked up to the third floor.

Following the direction in his memory, he crossed the bookshelf and walked to the stand where the night pearls were placed. He leaned forward slightly, reached out and touched a bulge, and pressed it hard.

The wooden door under the platform slowly opened, and Jiang Zhiyue looked down and saw that it was empty.

She raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Jiang Nianshi was quite well behaved. When she was four years old, she could already hide here and scare people.

Jiang Zhiyue restored the wooden door under the stage to its original state, stood up, looked around, gave up the investigation, and prepared to go downstairs.

But she only walked two steps before quickly turning around and launching a surprise attack.

Sure enough, she saw a pitiful fat kid groping for the place where she had pressed just now, trying to open the small space under the platform.

When he saw Jiang Zhiyue coming back, his expression was full of surprise.

"You, why are you looking back!" Fatty Jiang Nianshi felt it was unreasonable.

Didn’t she leave clearly?

Jiang Zhiyue almost laughed, but he held back his smile and said calmly, "I'm not sure if I closed it properly, so I came back to check, and who knew I'd see you."

The little fat boy looked at the small space that had been opened with a conflicted look, then looked at Jiang Zhiyue, his feeling of being unable to make a decision was written all over his face.

Jiang Zhiyue said nothing, just smiled lightly, turned around and left.

The little fat boy was immediately surprised and said: "Why did you leave!"

Jiang Zhiyue looked back, "Why can't I leave?"

"Aren't you here to find me?" The little fat boy still felt aggrieved.

Jiang Zhiyue nodded cooperatively at this moment: "Yes."

"Then why did you turn around and leave?"

The fat boy Jiang Nianshi didn't understand. She came to find him, shouldn't she beg him to leave? Why did she leave without saying anything?

Jiang Zhiyue said confidently: "Haven't I found you? I can leave now."

Jiang Nianshi was shocked by Jiang Zhiyue's matter-of-fact attitude, and he even stuttered: "Yes, is that so?"

Jiang Zhiyue's lips curled up slightly, with a smile in his eyes: "Of course, are you waiting for me to beg you?"

"Of course!" Jiang Nianshi finally shouted, "Why else would you come to see me?"

Jiang Zhiyue's fair face flushed when she looked at Jiang Nian, and her smile gradually faded: "Why do you think I should ask you for this?"

"Is it because you disappeared on purpose to make Aunt Lian so anxious? Or is it because you knew that everyone in the mansion was looking for you but you still hid and refused to go out?"

Jiang Zhiyue noticed that Jiang Nianshi had a bulging small bag hanging around his waist and sneered, "How long can you last with such a small amount of food?"

Jiang Nianshi immediately covered his treasure bag.

Jiang Zhiyue said disdainfully, "I don't need to beg you. When night comes, you will cry for help."

"The library has no lights at night, it's pitch black, there's no one there."

"It's just that you never know if there will be cockroaches or rats that will eat people's toes."

"By then, even if you shout for help, no one will hear you, let alone come to save you."

As soon as Jiang Zhiyue finished speaking, he saw the cub in front of him rushing to his side like a silly roe deer, hugging his legs tightly and crying -

"I don't want to be locked up here! I don't want my toes to be bitten by cockroaches and rats! Wuuuuuuu... Little sister, take me away, wuuuuuu..."

Jiang Zhiyue held back his laughter. How could there be cockroaches and rats in the library? There were so many ancient books and famous paintings in the library. There was no way these things could get into the library.

Just a rhetoric to scare kids.

But this kid Jiang Nianshi, when they met, he always said "you" to her, but when he cried for help, he knew to call her "little sister".

"Let go." Jiang Zhiyue said in a cold voice: "I'm not begging you."

"Wuwuwu, I beg you, please, little sister, take me away, wuwuwu..."

After all, he is just a pampered little fat kid who knows how to deal with current events.

Jiang Zhiyue raised an eyebrow and patted him: "Don't cry, it hurts my ears. If you keep crying, I won't care about you anymore."

The little fat boy's crying can be stopped at will when he feels threatened.

He just sobbed occasionally, with tears still hanging on his chubby face, looking so pitiful.

"I won't cry anymore, please don't leave me."

Jiang Zhiyue looked at him with amusement: "You came to the library by yourself, can't you go back by yourself?"

She completely forgot who had just used rats and cockroaches to scare the kid into crying.
