Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

When Master Yang Sanye and his companions arrived at the courtyard, the sun hanging high in the sky had gradually moved to the center and was approaching noon.

At this moment, the chattering aunties in the yard have already started their busy day.

Some of them were holding spatulas and stir-frying fragrant dishes in front of the stove, while others were bending over the well and scrubbing clothes vigorously.

However, the moment Uncle Yang led the others into the East Courtyard, the aunties who were originally busy with their work all stopped their work and cast curious and inquiring eyes towards these uninvited guests.

Although no one dared to approach them and talk or gossip about them, they still couldn't help whispering to each other behind their backs.

In particular, Jia Zhang, who was fat and had a fierce face, was the most active.

She covered her mouth with her hands and whispered to the aunt next to her. She also made faces in the direction of Mr. Yang Sanye and others from time to time, as if she had discovered some shocking secret.

Perhaps because he was keenly aware of the burning gazes coming from behind him, Master Yang San suddenly stopped and slowly turned around.

His hawk-like sharp eyes glanced coldly at the crowd around him, revealing an invisible majesty and oppression.

After seeing him like this, the aunties who were originally making a lot of noise suddenly became silent, and they quickly lowered their heads and continued to work on their own things.

Seeing this, Master Yang nodded with satisfaction, then raised his foot again and stepped steadily into the east courtyard.

Yang Xiaoyue was concentrating on reading in the room. Suddenly, a slight knock on the door reached her ears, followed by a familiar and slightly vicissitudes of life voice: "Xiaoyue girl, I am your third uncle."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoyue, who was waiting for him, quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

When she reached out to open the door, she saw Mr. Yang San with a kind smile and two other strange men standing outside the door.

Yang Xiaoyue quickly glanced at the three people standing at the door, but did not see the middle-aged woman she had expected, so she couldn't help but frowned slightly, revealing a hint of doubt.

But she still responded with a polite smile: "You are here!"

The meticulous Mr. Yang San naturally noticed the subtle changes in Yang Xiaoyue's expression. He asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the person I brought?"

"Nothing, I'm just curious why the woman I saw at Master Guan's house didn't come." After hearing the question from Master Yang San, Yang Xiaoyue did not intend to be perfunctory or vague, but spoke directly.

Mr. Yang San's expression remained calm, but a subtle light that was hardly noticeable flashed across his eyes.

After a short pause, Mr. Yang San asked, "Could it be that you have something important to discuss with her?"

Yang Xiaoyue nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, she left me a message that day, warning me not to refuse a toast and drink a forfeit. So, today I want to ask her what kind of forfeit she is going to give me!"

There was no intention of backing down in her words, and Yang Xiaoyue just said out loud what the woman said without any hesitation.

Hearing this, Master Yang's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal. He then put on a serious look and said in a deep voice:

"How dare she speak to you like that? It's outrageous! I'll punish her when I get home!"

Obviously, even Master Yang San himself had not expected that a mere ordinary servant who followed him and served him in his daily life could be so bold as to speak to Yang Xiaoyue in such an arrogant and domineering tone.

Although Yang Xiaoyue has not been officially taken back by the Yang family yet, she is still a member of the Yang family's bloodline and a genuine eldest daughter of the Yang family.

Witnessing Mr. Yang Sanye's statement and reaction at this moment, the stone that had been hanging in Yang Xiaoyue's heart finally settled down a little.

Judging from the current situation, the person who rashly broke into Xu Changping's house last night seemed to have no connection with Mr. Yang Sanye in front of him.

Yang Xiaoyue nodded absentmindedly, then took two steps backwards slowly and whispered softly, "Come in and sit down first."

Master Yang San waved to the two bodyguards behind him, and they stood on both sides of the door.

After slowly sitting down on the sofa in Yang Xiaoyue's house, Master Yang San tried hard to suppress his inner anxiety, with a amiable smile on his face, and asked softly:

"Xiao Yue, how come you suddenly figured it out? This change really surprised Uncle San!"

However, in response to Mr. Yang Sanye's question, Yang Xiaoyue remained silent as if she had not heard it.

After a brief silence, she spoke directly: "Uncle San, just last night, we caught a guy who came to steal things."

Mr. Yang Sanye, who was sitting upright on the sofa, couldn't help but change his expression when he heard Yang Xiaoyue mention that a thief had been caught.

He stared at Yang Xiaoyue and asked in a low and serious voice: "Who is so bold? Take me to see it!"

"The person is locked up next door. I'll take you there." Yang Xiaoyue didn't say anything more. She stood up and walked straight to the door.

After opening the door of the next room, Yang Xiaoyue entered the room and used her body to cover the black shadow. She then pulled the man in front of the Third Master and said, "This man said that he was asked to steal something, but he said he didn't know who asked him to do it."

Master Yang San stared at the man in front of him who looked familiar, and a complex and indecipherable look involuntarily flashed across his eyes.

At that moment, it seemed as if countless thoughts were surging in his heart, but he chose to remain silent for the time being.

After a long while, he slowly turned his head and said in a deep voice to the two stern-looking bodyguards following behind him: "You two, take this man away and lock him up first. I will interrogate him in person later!"

Yang Xiaoyue, who was standing aside, originally had no intention of dwelling on this matter too much. After hearing what Mr. Yang San had arranged, she nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll trouble you to take care of it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two bodyguards rushed forward like wolves and tigers, firmly controlled the man on the left and right, and then escorted him out the door without any delay.

As the man was led out of the room, the entire space suddenly became quiet, with only the occasional faint breathing sound and the rustling sound of leaves in the wind outside the window.

In this silence, Master Yang San was about to ask Yang Xiaoyue about the jade pendant.

Suddenly, a sharp "creak" sound broke the silence - the door was pushed open from the outside without any warning!

The two of them turned their heads almost at the same time, looking towards the door.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked in - it was the middle-aged woman Yang Xiaoyue had seen before. Her steps seemed a little hesitant and timid, as if she was hiding some unspeakable secret in her heart.

When her eyes met those of Master Yang San, she looked away unconsciously, as if she didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"What are you doing here?" Mr. Yang frowned and questioned the uninvited guest in a cold and solemn voice. His tone was full of majesty and dissatisfaction, and he was obviously very surprised and annoyed by the appearance of this middle-aged woman.

Just yesterday, this woman escaped quietly on the way here, but now she suddenly appeared here, which really made Mr. Yang San think too much.

Hearing the question from Master Yang San, the middle-aged woman's body trembled slightly. Although she was afraid of Master Yang San deep in her heart, she still gritted her teeth and said, "Master... Master San, it was the Second Master who asked me to come here." When she said this, her voice trembled slightly, revealing her inner nervousness.
