It has been nearly half a month since she came to Zhang's house, but every day, except for resting and entertaining in the room, she basically has nothing to do.

Since that day, Zhang Qishan has never mentioned the matter of getting married again, as if he had forgotten about it, he left early and returned late every day, and he couldn't find anyone at all.

Once again, Yu Manli went downstairs to inquire about the whereabouts of the little girl Zhang Qishan, and was told that Buddha had already gone out for military training. Today, Buddha had a very busy schedule and would not be back until evening.

Yu Manli puffed up her cheeks, and she returned to the room in anger, followed by a servant girl asking, "Miss Manli, don't you want breakfast?"

Leaving herself still on the big soft bed, Yu Manli stared blankly at the ceiling, and sighed deeply, what should I do if this continues?Seeing the time passing by bit by bit, but the task has not progressed at all, she also began to become more and more anxious.

She turned her head to look at the half-open window, and the bright sunlight refracted into the room through the window, making her close her eyes uncomfortably.

What is the difference between this kind of life and captivity?

Yu Manli sneered, supported the bed with her right hand, and sat up from the bed.She opened the cloth bag half a month ago and dumped all the clothes and things inside on the bed. Holding the two corners of the cloth, she took out the ring from the hidden pocket in the middle and put it on the bed. Observe carefully in sunlight.

"What's the secret?" Yu Manli murmured.

After living here for so many days, she also has a certain understanding of Zhang Qishan. She is cautious and careful, bold and fearless, and is a qualified soldier.

And although Zhang Qishan didn't mention the ring after that night, she knew that he cared about this matter very much, but he still didn't have enough trust in her, so he never disclosed his matter to her.

But she doesn't care, does she?Even if you don't tell her, she naturally has the ability to find out what she wants to know.This is a new challenge for her, Zhang Qishan, in this secret fight, let me see if you can gain the upper hand, or I, Yu Manli, will be better.The corner of Yu Manli's mouth was lightly raised, and she held the ring firmly in her hand, her eyes were full of the light of determination.

She put her things back together and put them in the cabinet. Yu Manli combed her hair again, carefully pulled her aside, rubbed her rouge lightly, and stared at the beautiful and charming her in the mirror. lip smile.The charming red lips made her fair complexion even whiter, and also made her look different. The charming fairy is about to start acting.

He took out a dagger from the cabinet and stuck it obliquely inside the boot, and stuck a layer of fake leather with a blade on his wrist.

She opened the door again, and because of the air circulation, the curtains by the window were blown by the wind, and the hair on her forehead was also blown by the wind.

Pattaptap, with brisk steps and a confident smile, Yu Manli walked down the stairs slowly.

If the enemy does not move, I will not move.However, in critical moments, there are some... other measures that can be taken.At this time, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity.

When I came to the dining room, I saw the little girl still standing there in a daze, and my heart softened, "Xiao Tao, why are you still standing here?"

"Miss Manli, I'm waiting for you to come down for dinner!" Xiaotao blinked, looked at Yu Manli with a smile, and replied as a matter of course.

"Hehe, so good~" Yu Manli touched her face, sat down on the dining table, picked up the chopsticks and added a white and tender bun, "Mmm, it's so delicious~" She ate it with relish .

"Miss!" Xiaotao snatched the bun from Yu Manli's hand.

Yu Manli was startled by her yelling and her hands trembled. She looked at the steamed stuffed bun after she took a bite out of it. What's going on?Xiao Tao is the little maid she met when she came to Zhang's house that day, and she has been responsible for taking care of her life since then, she quite likes this little maid, what happened to her today?

"Miss," Xiaotao looked at her stubbornly, "this bun is cold, you will get sick after using it..."

Yu Manli laughed dumbfounded. She thought it was a big deal, but she never thought about it... She smiled and shook her head, took the bun from Xiao Tao's hand, and took another bite, "No, I'm in good health."

This steamed stuffed bun is her favorite breakfast in Zhang's Mansion. It is soft and fragrant but not greasy. The food inside is also very good, but it's just cold, so what's the big deal!In the past, whether it was in the hands of her stepfather or in the military academy, what she ate was more difficult to swallow, and there were more things that were not conducive to her health.Thinking of this, Yu Manli shook her head, alas, it seems that life is so nourishing and easy, I always think of the past.

Seeing Yu Manli eating so deliciously, Xiao Tao stopped talking.He just silently looked at her in front of him, with some pity in his eyes.

Such a good Miss Manli, who took care of her and didn't treat her like a human being, and now... I don't know what kind of suffering Miss Manli has suffered before?From now on, we must take good care of Miss Manli.Xiao Tao swears in her heart.

Yu Manli didn't know, it was just a simple incident that gave her a loyal little maid who stayed with her all the time, and even paid her life in the end.

After finishing her breakfast carefully, Yu Manli tucked the corners of her mouth lightly and asked casually, "When will Buddha come back today?"

"Ah?" Xiaotao, who was packing the tableware, paused for a while, then seemed to understand something, and smiled ambiguously, "Miss Manli, did you miss the Buddha? Today is fifteen, and the Buddha finishes early, so I can catch up with you for lunch !"

"Oh, is that so?" Yu Manli paused her movements when she heard this, and she began to worry, "By the way, Xiaotao, I've been so bored recently, is there any book I can read?"

The simple Xiaotao didn't know what Yu Manli was thinking. She thought for a while and gave an answer, "Is Miss Manli bored? There are books in Buddha's study, but usually people are not allowed to enter..."

"That's it..." Yu Manli's face collapsed, she looked pitiful, and sighed, "Alright then, I'll go back to my room."

She stood up and deliberately moved upstairs at a slow pace, and after only two steps, Xiao Tao stopped her, "Miss Manli, if you are really bored, why don't you go to the study?" ? I believe that if it is your words, the Buddha will not refuse."

"Really?" She turned around quickly, her eyes were shining, "Xiao Tao, you are so kind~" She said, hugging Xiao Tao happily.

"Miss, let me go." Xiaotao struggled helplessly. Although she was still a little uncertain, it was good that Miss Manli was happy.

"Okay, then I'll go!" Yu Manli waved her hand, and walked briskly to the study on the second floor.The moment she turned around, the corners of her mouth rose, the first step of the plan was successful.

Arriving at the study room on the second floor, Yu Manli gently pushed the door open. Perhaps Zhang Qishan didn't even close the door because of the strict discipline of the Zhang family.Yu Manli walked in easily.

She looked up and down the study room. There were rows of books on the bookshelf in an orderly manner. Facing the bookshelf was a desk. There were documents on the desk divided into several stacks and stacked on the desk. It seemed that they were waiting for Zhang Qishan's review. .There is a desk lamp at the corner of the table, and there is a jade ornament on the edge of the table. It looks old and should be an antique.

On the other side of the wall is a leather sofa. Yu Manli went up to touch it, um, it feels good!Really enjoy it.

She looked around, but found nothing.So he walked to the bookshelf and browsed the books on it.

Flicking the books with her fingers, looking at the names on them, there were all kinds of strange things, some of which she didn't even know very well.In Manli's opinion, the most normal ones are probably Sun Tzu's Art of War, 36 Strategies, and Tang Poetry and Song Ci.

However, all kinds of books are sorted into different categories, with poetry on the left in the middle, art of war on the right, military geography on the upper layer, complicated tomb-like books on the top, and various astronomy and geography books on the bottom. Get started with this game of Go!

Hmm...it really fits his style!Clean and tidy, well organized.Yu Manli nodded while watching.

However, there is a book that she is a little curious about. It has no name, just like a notebook. Yu Manli wants to take it down to have a look, but the top book is too high for her, so she can only stand on tiptoe. I touched it with my toes, and looked at the quality of the paper. It should be a long time ago. It seems to be a notebook?

Although she was curious about what it was, Yu Manli would not forget her purpose of visiting the study this time.

She circled around the study room, the layout of the study room was extremely simple and clean, it didn't look like there were any secrets, but, like Changsha's defense officer, the leader of the old nine sects, would there really be no secrets?Yu Manli didn't believe it.

She looked around again, and suddenly, her eyes fell on the only decoration in the entire study.She approached step by step, that jade ornament... She half-bent down, and carefully looked at this weird thing, whether it was a snake or a dragon.Yu Manli reached out her hand to pick it up and observe it, but she didn't expect to see a secret door just opened behind the chair!

Yu Manli put down the jade ornaments in her hand and walked quickly inside.

The author has something to say: Do you know what our little angel Manli is up to?
