Wrong Changhuan

Seeing that he couldn't get out, Chang Huan had no choice but to turn his head and go back to the courtyard. Then he carefully looked at the huge courtyard and walked around.

An irregular pond was dug out on the west side of the front hall, and small stones of various strange shapes were piled up on the side, and the maximum height was less than knees.

Chang Huan said heartily, the front hall in the pond is so close, it is convenient for viewing, but it is unavoidable to be closer to the front hall, if there are many mosquitoes by the water in summer, wouldn't it be a crime.But then he thought about Xie Baitang's use of poison like a god, and he was afraid that even mosquitoes would have a way to avoid them, so he couldn't help talking about his worries.

When Chang Huan approached, he saw that the ponds were not ornamental koi, but some edible fish such as black fish, mandarin fish, and yellow croaker.

Chang Huan smiled, and said in his heart, he really understands life, but it coincides with what he thinks.

An octagonal gazebo was built on the south side of the pond, and a lawn was planted around the pavilion, extending around the pond as the edge.Close to the root of the wall, there are a few unnamed Changhuan trees planted to the west and north of the pond, which are still full of greenery at this time.

In front of the main hall is a building surrounded by wooden hollow windows. A large moon round door frame has been built, but there is no door.There is a set of tables and chairs in the Baosha. If you want to drink tea here in your spare time, the sun can shine in without blocking the light in the front hall. The design is really ingenious.

Chang Huan came to the east side of the courtyard again, and saw a peach tree planted here, which was now bare and had lost all its leaves.To the south of the peach tree, and in front of the East Wing, is a large open space surrounded by white gravel. It can be vaguely seen that something has been planted before, but it has been left unattended for too long. At this time, it is desolate. The well-arranged courtyard seemed a bit out of place.

Chang Huan looked at the open space and asked, "What was planted here before?"

Lu Zhu stepped forward and said, "Miss Hui, this used to be a flower garden, but Madam didn't allow the servants to take care of it, so it has been empty."

Chang Huan stared at the open space of the flower garden in a daze, only listening to the green bamboo behind him bowing down and saying, "Master--"

Xie Tiandong was still in a wheelchair, and was pushed into the yard by the servants, and stopped at the door of the east wing, with a kind face on his face, and said softly, "This is the flower garden where Nuannuan used to grow flowers."

Chang Huan had never connected this cripple with Nuan Nuan's brother in Ah Cuo's story before.Goodbye now, but it feels different.

Chang Huan bowed and saluted, "Young Master."

Xie Tiandong said softly, "Nuan Nuan used to call me Big Brother--"

Chang Huan said sincerely, "Your servant is not Nuan Nuan."

Xie Tiandong smiled like a spring breeze, looked at Chang Huan meaningfully and said, "Oh? Then who are you?"

Chang Huan said, "My servant's name is Lin Xiaonuan, from Qingtian County."

Xie Tiandong rubbed his chin with his hand and said, "I heard that Qingtian County is also a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and a rich place. But is that so?"

Chang Huan frowned slightly, and said unhurriedly, "The young master can really tell jokes, Qingtian County is vast and plain, where there are no mountains and rivers, and the residents work hard for a living, so it is not a rich family. Compared with Jiangdong, it is even more It's like a feather in a bucket." Fortunately, I did some homework on Qingtian County before, but I didn't think it would be useful here.

Xie Tiandong nodded and said, "It can be seen that the rumors are not necessarily true... Miss Xiaonuan speaks clearly and logically."

Chang Huan nodded and said, "It's the Eldest Young Master who praised you."

Xie Tiandong continued to ask, "Xiao Nuan, this name is not common."

Chang Huan said, "Yes."

Xie Tiandong smiled faintly, "Xiao Nuan, what's the story behind this name?"

Chang Huan said, "I think it was a good day when my mother gave birth to me."

Xie Tiandong said, "I don't know the surnames of your father and Lingtang?"

Chang Huan said, "My mother's surname is Yang, and my father's surname is Lin, which is the same as that of my servant."

Xie Tiandong was thoughtful and stopped talking.

Chang Huan felt that this Xie Tiandong seemed to be here to find out about her, and he was very well informed.

Xie Tiandong slightly raised his hand as a signal, and saw the servant behind him pushing him towards the door, but he stopped and turned back after taking two steps, looked at the flower garden, and said softly, "If there are flowers here, come here, Auntie will be happy too." After speaking, he pushed him out of the courtyard with the servant.

Hearing his tone, Chang Huan felt that he was worrying too much. Maybe Xie Tiandong just came to confirm whether he was Nuan Nuan. Seeing that he said no, it didn't seem to be malicious, especially the last sentence, which was obviously a kind reminder.

Lu Zhu went to make tea, and invited Chang Huan to sit down in the Baosha, and said, "Miss must be thirsty after talking so much just now." As he spoke, he handed over the tea cup.

Lu Zhu was considered a caring maid, and Chang Huan was indeed thirsty at this time, and took a few gulps from the teacup.

Chang Huan put down the teacup and said, "Sister Luzhu, you sit down too. I just want to ask you to talk about something."

Lu Zhu refused to dare, but Chang Huan insisted. Lu Zhu said that he could not but Chang Huan, so he finally sat down.

Chang Huan asked curiously, "Eldest Young Master, what kind of person is he on weekdays?"

When Lu Zhu heard this question, he immediately became brighter, and said, "The young master is usually just like the lady just met, unhurried, gentle, and the most beautiful when he smiles... I have never seen the young master before." Get angry, everyone knows that the Eldest Young Master is kind-hearted, treats his servants well, and usually rewards him a lot."

Seeing the nymphomaniac look on Luzhu's face, Chang Huan suddenly felt that this man with such a good-looking smile, even if he was crippled, would have many admirers. If he was a healthy man, wouldn't he be able to fascinate a lot of girls.But I couldn't help feeling a little regretful in my heart, and then asked, "Who did the young master fall into the frozen lake back then?"

Upon hearing this, Luzhu said vigilantly, "Miss, don't mention or ask more about this in the future, this matter is a taboo in the mansion."

Chang Huan nodded and said, "I know, I'm just curious... If you don't tell me, I have no choice but to ask Madam, I think Madam should know."

Luzhu's face showed embarrassment, and said, "Miss, you don't know that the madam loves the young master the most on weekdays. If you ask, the madam will be sad again. Don't mention it."

Chang Huan pleaded, "Sister Lvzhu, just tell me, you see no one is around here, tell me secretly, I will never tell. I swear—"

Seeing the sincerity on Chang Huan's face, Luzhu leaned closer and whispered, "Ten years ago, two months after Miss Nuannuan disappeared, the Eldest Young Master was pushed into the frozen lake. It was mid-winter at that time, and the lake was frozen, and because it was winter, all the courtyards closed their doors early and guarded the brazier in the house, and no one went out to watch the night in the garden, so no one heard the young master. Shouting. On the second morning, he was rescued when he was seen by the servants of the outer court early in the morning. But the young master didn’t say who pushed him. The young master stayed by the lake all night, and later, his legs were frozen to death..."

Chang Huan said, "Then madam and old madam, didn't you pursue it? After all, the young master is also the grandson of the eldest son." It stands to reason that he is the most likely to inherit the Xie family's family business.

Luzhu shook her head and said, "Madam has been looking for young ladies since the third master passed away. She was not in the mansion. She rushed back after hearing that something happened to the young master. The old lady told the young master... how to say Well, because of the big house, the old lady doesn't like the young master on weekdays, so when something happened, she didn't ask any more questions, but ordered the doctor to treat her well."

Chang Huan asked again, "You said just now that the man who pushed the eldest young master into the lake was not strong... Could it be that he was also a child?"

Green Bamboo was silent and no longer spoke.

At this time, there was no need for Lu Zhu to say anything, Chang Huan also understood why the old lady didn't ask more questions.Sanfang's son died, granddaughter was lost, and Sanfang's daughter-in-law was not around, so there would be nothing wrong with Sanfang.If something happened to the eldest grandson of the eldest room, then the only person suspected of doing it and the one who benefited the most is the second room.

The old lady didn't want to ruin her family, so she didn't pursue this matter.It's a pity that Xie Tiandong's legs became the victim of this family property struggle.

Without comparison, there is no discovery.At this time, Chang Huan felt fortunate that this scene of fighting for life and death for the family property had not been staged in the Lin family, and it would never happen. It was so lucky and rare.

Perhaps it was because there were no elders in the Lin family, and the brothers and sisters used to depend on each other for life, and the relationship was deeper, and on the contrary, they were more united with the outside world.

Chang Huan understands the thoughts of the second uncle and Yang Yan best. They don't even bother to take care of the Anping Hall, let alone the business of the Yunlin.

The third uncle left the house early in pursuit of his freedom, and the Lin family couldn't trap him.

My uncle has always followed his mother's lead. Although he usually doesn't like to talk, he is extremely defensive when it comes to family members. The Lin family is my uncle's lifeblood. She has learned this more than once, so I don't care You may hurt your own family for the sake of family property.

Although, Cheng Yunchu once said that my uncle is not from the Lin family.Be it Lin Xiao or Chu Xiao, after all, he is still my uncle.Next time you see Yang Yan, you must ask.

Seeing that Chang Huan was in a daze, Lu Zhu asked, "Miss, what are you thinking?"

Chang Huan returned to his senses and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just think about family harmony, which is more important than anything else."

Chang Huan felt bored, and saw the empty flower garden again, so he said to Lu Zhu, "I want to plant flowers in that flower garden, how about you ask the greenhouse to send some flowers every year?"

Hearing this, Luzhu was worried that his wife would blame him, but then he remembered what the young master said before he left, so he thought it should be all right, and said, "The slave will send someone to say something."

Chang Huan reminded again that it must be sent by Nian Nian.

The green bamboo responded with a full mouth.

Not long after noon, Nian Nian came in with a maidservant in yellow, holding a bunch of flowers with muddy roots in her arms.

Chang Huan saw him and went up to meet him.

Nian Nian put down the flowers, grabbed Chang Huan and said anxiously, "Xiao Nuan, why are you here? You're so worried about me." As she spoke, she burst into tears.

Chang Huan hurriedly coaxed, "Look, I'm alright, nothing happened. Little fool, don't cry, you'll lose your face when you cry, and let Madam see you later, I'm going to scold you."

When Nian Nian heard this, he stopped crying and said, "You didn't return all night, and there was another assassin in the mansion last night, I thought..." As he spoke, he was about to cry again.

Chang Huan quickly asked, "Assassin? What assassin?"

Nian Nian scrupulously glanced at the green bamboo beside him.

Seeing this, Chang Huan hurriedly turned around and said, "Sister Luzhu, please find two small shovels and come here with a bucket of water."

Lu Zhu bowed his head in salute, said, "Yes, Miss." After speaking, he left.

Nian Nian opened her eyes wide, looked at Chang Huan in disbelief and said, "Miss? Xiaonuan, how did you become a miss?"

Chang Huan felt a bit confused, "I'm also confused, don't ask me first, I don't know how to say it." After a pause, he continued, "You said there was an assassin last night? But it was true?" I think it was last night After taking the medicine and falling asleep, he didn't even know about the assassin. No wonder Madam hasn't returned since she went out early in the morning, maybe she is also looking into this matter.

Nian Nian pouted and said, "It's true, just last night, it was said that the assassin was found in this west courtyard. Later, I searched all the courtyards, but I heard that they were not caught."

Chang Huan lowered his head and thought, who could it be?Wrong?Yang Yan?Or the enemy of the Xie family?Or was the assassin originally from the Fuzhong?But when I thought about it, I felt that I had only met Yang Yan for a few days, so it shouldn't be him.If it wasn't for Yang Yan, it would be even less likely to be Ah Cuo. She hasn't seen her in the past two months, and she doesn't even know that she has come to Jiangdong.

who can that be?
