[ABO] The Sparrow in the Threshold

The paunchy Marquis of Shell was surrounded by congratulators as soon as he entered the hall. The joy on his face could not be concealed, and he kept nodding his head in return.

The Marquis of Shell was a beneficiary of the last era - he was not an official in the empire because of his talent and learning, but because he inherited his father's title, he was able to marry the eldest princess of the empire and stand in his current position.

The beautiful eldest princess is by his side right now, playing a loving couple with him.

There are many anecdotes and anecdotes among them, and even Yinque has heard of it.He turned his head and ordered quickly and quietly: "Right now, find out all the exits of the Marquis Mansion."

"Yes."

The man was not sloppy, and while everyone's eyes were on the Marquis of Shell, he quietly stepped back and walked to a more inconspicuous corner.

Yinque wiped her mouth with a silk cloth, and walked towards the crowd unhurriedly.

"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to my dinner party today..."

After breaking through the siege of the crowd, the Marquis of Shell walked up to the steps in the middle of the hall to deliver a speech, with no concealment of pride on his brows.The music stopped in conjunction with him, and only his scene words could be heard in the whole hall, but few people were really listening to what he said.Like Silver Sparrow, most of the guests stood at the bottom of the steps with champagne glasses and waited for him to finish; some could not bear the loneliness and whispered to their companions.

As Shell spoke, his eyes wandered over the people in the audience; when it landed on Yinque, Yinque raised the corners of his mouth and slightly raised the champagne in his hand to signal him.

Who knew that at this moment, a strange man's voice suddenly appeared from his right: "Master Cheng, what a coincidence."

Yinque took a big step back almost immediately, and looked at the person who came with an undisguised annoyance in her eyes—it was Yin Ke.

He was completely different from the other guests in the hall. He neither wore a decent suit nor had any manners to speak of.He smiled like the hooligans that can be seen everywhere on the streets of Wilta, holding a metal lighter in his hand and flipping it back and forth between his fingers.

Yinque sneered: "Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just saw you coming to say hello to you." Yin Ke raised his eyebrows and approached him, "Why is Young Master Cheng alone, where is your follower?"

"Are you being too lenient?"

"I'm concerned about you, sister-in-law."

"Who is your sister-in-law?" Yinque said, "Oh, you mean that the only son of the Yin family wanted to hire someone from the Cheng family? Why didn't the family tell you that it has already been rejected?"

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to talk like this, you will be from the Yin family sooner or later." Yin Ke's eyes were straight, as if he was looking at a commodity, admiring the silver sparrow from top to bottom, "It's just a pity, I snatched it up." If you don't win against the people in your family, otherwise I want an Omega like you too."

Yinque smiled even more, and said softly: "You deserve it too?"

"Are you angry? Angry is still very beautiful, I like it so much." Yin Ke walked up to him, turned his head and approached, his lips almost pressed against his ear, "Did you know that the Yin family has an unwritten The rules are set by the old man.... Whoever can get the family property of the Cheng family is the heir of the Yin family. Do you think it is faster to start a business battle with the Cheng family, or to marry you?"

"There is everything in the dream, you will go back to sleep the fastest."

"Or let me put it another way, is it better to have all the properties of the married family taken away, or is it better to marry into the Yin family and continue to live a life without worrying about food and clothing?"

As soon as Yin Ke finished speaking, Qianqiu, who was sent out to check the situation, came back.He quickly passed behind Yinque, and suddenly lay between the two of them, looking down at Yin Ke with the attitude of a protector: "Please respect yourself and stay away from my young master."

"Ha, haha..." Yin Ke smiled abruptly, the laughter was extremely harsh to Yinque's ears, "Then... I'm sorry to interrupt, I'll talk about it when I have time."

He stretched out the goblet in his hand, touched Yinque's wine glass before leaving.

Seeing that Yin Ke didn't intend to continue entanglement, Qian Qiu turned around hastily: "Master, you..." He couldn't say the words of concern, but was stunned by Yinque's expression in front of him.

—He had never seen Silver Sparrow so angry.

Those usually beautiful and charming eyes are now sharp as if hiding blades, Qianqiu can even hear his heavy breathing, and can see the slightly protruding blood vessels in his neck.

"One day I will make the idiots of the Yin family kneel in front of me and apologize." Yinque whispered.

Qianqiu didn't hear the content clearly, and didn't even hear clearly whether Yinque had spoken or not.However, Yinque quickly returned to normal, and the extremely angry appearance just now seemed to be his illusion.

"How about it, have you figured it out?"

"Understood." Qian Qiu silently retreated to his proper position, and reported in a low voice, "There are six exits from the Marquis' Mansion...I saw a person in the backyard."

"Who?"

"Justin."

"He...?" Yinque narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's normal for him to come to the dinner party, what does it mean to be in the backyard?"

"Perhaps he came with someone else."

"And trying to avoid me.  … Has he seen you?"

"Saw."

"I see."

The Marquis's speech happened to end at this moment, Yinque stopped and walked towards the Marquis quickly: "Marquis Xie, congratulations on taking office."

"Master Yinque!" Xie Er's tone was very exaggerated, "Is your father okay, I haven't seen him for a long time!"

"Thanks to you, my father is fine."

The servants of the Marquis Mansion approached them while they were talking, covered their mouths and said something in Shell's ear before hurriedly leaving.After a brief moment of seriousness, Shell smiled at Yinque again: "It's just right, how about coming to my study for a chat?"

"of course."

He followed the Marquis of Shell up the stairs covered with red carpet, and Qian Qiu also followed behind him.

Downstairs, Yin Ke was chatting and laughing with other people, and at this moment, his eyes glanced at Yinque on the stairs calmly.The entourage behind him whispered in his ear: "...it is said that he saw his entourage go to check other exits."

"Release the news," Yin Ke said with a smile, "We are not the only ones who want to hunt small birds tonight."

-

"I really can't accept this, it's too expensive."

The light of the oil lamp in the study flickered, and the Marquis of Shell picked up the gift box from the desk and handed it to Yinque.There were only the two of them in the study, and even Qianqiu was guarding the door.

Yinque didn't pick it up, and asked with a smile: "Master Marquis, what does this mean?"

"Looking at my friendship with your father, I won't play around with you." Sher said, "I'm really tempted to get [-]% of the shares, but at this time, if you stand on the wrong team, you may lose everything."

"I don't understand what Lord Marquis means."

"His Majesty the Emperor is old, the Eldest Prince is doing nothing, and the Second and Third Princes are in full swing. No one can say whether the empire will change in a year or two. I will do what the Eldest Princess tells me... But there is such a coincidence, the thoughts of the Yin family and the eldest princess coincide with each other."

"..."

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Your father will understand my embarrassment."

Yinque sneered for a while, and finally took the gift box: "I hope that Lord Marquis will not regret it then.... Can you tell me which prince the eldest princess supports?"

"This is..."

"Farewell."

It's the Yin family again.

It's the Yin family's bastards again.

Yinque suppressed the fire and pushed open the door of the study.Qian Qiu stood outside the door, and lowered his head the first time he saw him: "Master."

"Let's go, we can go back." Yinque hurriedly walked, not at all as calm as before.

The man followed his pace: "Leave the Marquis Mansion now."

"Yes, leave now." Yinque said, "Lead the way."

"plz follow me."

Naturally, they don't have to go back to the hall. There is also a long corridor on the second floor leading to the outside, so there are so many paths to avoid people's eyes and ears.The icy night wind messed with Yinque's hair, which made him wake up a little bit - the most important thing for him to do now was not to get angry, but to find out which prince the Yin family supported.

Since ancient times, the empire has always favored capable people, and the royal family valued ability the most; but now His Majesty the Emperor hates the collusion between the princes and merchants... Although he failed to contact Schell, he also got such information. too bad.

But thinking about those fights, thinking about what Yin Ke said to him, the feeling of isolation and helplessness suddenly arises.

Yinque raised her head and saw Qianqiu in front of her.

The moonlight outlined the lines for his tough outline. Although he didn't know how he did it, he did figure out the situation of the Marquis's Mansion in a short period of time.

He works great.

"Young master, you can go out from here." The two walked to the corner of the backyard, and in front of them was a mottled wooden door covered with weeds. It seemed that this exit had been abandoned for a long time, "It's just wronged young master, to leave by such a dirty road ..."

"So what if it's dirty, so what if it's not dirty." Yinque said in a deep voice, pushed open the wooden door, and stepped out.

The sound of the door opening was accompanied by a man's excited voice: "Hey, it's true, the young master who got married will come out of the small door quietly, with only one follower beside him..."

"Hahaha, is it true or not, sent to die?"

"Brothers, is this job worthwhile? Brother didn't lie to you, did he?"

There were four men with guns standing just outside this door.

The moment Yinque stepped out, the sound of bullets being loaded one after another, and the muzzle of the gun instantly surrounded Yinque.

In an instant, all kinds of possibilities intertwined in Yinque's mind—did Justin see through his intentions, or the Yin family had already figured it out...or maybe Qianqiu betrayed him?

Before he could figure out the result, the man suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him back behind him without hesitation.

Qianqiu said in a voice that only he could hear: "It may be troublesome, but I will definitely protect you."

"We're taking people's money, fuck...brother, you can leave, don't go back here." A certain man said.

What followed this sentence was not Qianqiu's answer, but a gunshot.Thin smoke was coming out of Yinque's muzzle, and someone screamed and covered their legs. Before they could react, Qianqiu's fist had already found one of them's abdomen.

The man didn't seem to have any sense of fear, and after quickly hitting one person hard, he swept his legs and knocked down the person who was about to shoot at Yinque.His movements were clean and neat, without any unnecessary entanglement, and while avoiding the attack, he accurately returned fire. No one had a chance to shoot Yinque... and the man just became short of breath.

"Four people, really underestimate me." Yinque sneered.

"Master, it's better for us to leave now."

"Let's go, the car is waiting for us."
