Let's go? ”

Qingyi secretly thought, there was only one way from Qi Mansion to the gambling house, and when they came, they didn't run into the carriage of the Qi family, or the people of the third prince of Qi, "Where did he go?" ”

The young man scratched his head, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, and it took a long time before he said with a dodgy look, "Xu is...... Maybe I went to a nearby tavern to drink. ”

As soon as Qingyi saw him like that, he knew that he was lying, and compared to his unnaturalness, the steward standing beside him looked indifferent, obviously convinced of his lies, it seems that the only one who knows where Qi Lianchen is this guy.

Qingyi didn't understand why Qi Lianchen wanted the guys in the gambling house to hide his whereabouts, but looking at the steward's expression, it seemed that this had happened more than once or twice.

Although Qingyi was puzzled, in order to go back to the house, she had to beckon to the young man, and the two walked to a more secluded place, and she said softly, "Little brother, you also know that I came by order, what's the matter, you should also let me understand in my heart what is going on, after I go back, I can get rid of the minister, don't you say?" ”

As she spoke, she quietly slipped the ingot silver into the fellow's hand.

This bribery, no matter what time it is, is one of the most convenient ways to get things done.

Saying that the moment the little guy took the silver, he inevitably touched the back of Qingyi's delicate and soft hand, coupled with her whispering like a heavenly sound, he felt as if his head had been hit by something, a little fluttering, and then checked the silver ingot, how to say that there are more than ten taels, which is comparable to the lobby where he has been running here for a year!

At present, the young man knew that he was tempted, but he felt willing, lowered his voice, and shook out the things that someone had emphasized to keep secret.

"The third young lady, the villain will tell you the truth, these three young people actually come every time, but only stay for a while, and then leave, just tell me that if someone comes, just say that he is in a private gambling room, or just say, he suddenly became addicted to alcohol, go to the neighborhood to drink two glasses, change his luck and come back to gamble. Because he asks the villain to help him go through the back door every time, and he doesn't owe the gambling house any money anyway, the villain will help him, and ...... He still has a reward, how can the villain not do it? - It's a secret, usually at this time, even our stewards don't know, thinking he's staying in a private room all the time......"

Hearing his words, Qingyi's brows couldn't help jumping.

It's a secret again!

She feels like her head is going to blow up, why does she "happen" to know some people's secrets every day? Unconsciously, there was too much hidden in her mind and heart, and she was a little afraid, perhaps, when the time was right, she should find someone to share the burden.

Besides, this Qi Lianchen, he is obviously not so addicted to gambling, why did he create such a flattering image for himself? She couldn't figure it out, but there was one thing, she understood. - No wonder every time someone comes to Qi Mansion, he can't call this man back, it turns out that sometimes he is not here at all!

As for why the second young lady can retire every time she goes out, perhaps, because the second young lady is also part of this secret?

The corners of her mouth twitched, and a very strange thought flashed in her mind: Could it be, Qi Sangongzi's real hobby is not gambling, but prostitution, right?!

……

Qingyi returned in vain, sitting in the carriage back home, she didn't say a word, lowered her eyes, I don't know if she was pretending to sleep, or because she was in a bad mood, she was silent.

When Liu Er saw it, she didn't dare to say a word, but she quietly glanced at her master from time to time, and finally, she couldn't hold it back, so she carefully proposed, "Madam, or ...... Let's look for a tavern in the neighborhood? ”

Qingyi raised her head slowly, and in Liu Er's stunnedness, she smiled lightly, "I don't have a clear direction to find someone, I'm too lazy to do it." Most importantly, she didn't think that Qi Lianchen would actually go to the tavern to drink, it was just an excuse he taught the young man.

Liu Er didn't know what was going on, so she just asked worriedly, "Then what should we do now?" ”

Qingyi knew that the girl was actually worried about herself, her heart warmed, and she stretched out her hand to pat the back of Liu'er's hand, "Don't do it, go home, and by the way, help the old man find the old lady." ”

"But......" Seeing that her young lady said with a relaxed face, didn't she know that if she couldn't call back the third prince this time, then the Qi Mansion would naturally question her ability and status in the third prince's heart?

"Nothing." Qingyi cut off her words, quietly leaned in the direction of Liu'er, and lowered her voice, "I know what you think, aren't you afraid that the people in the house will say that I, the third young lady, can't compete with the second young lady's affection for the third son?" ”

"Madame......"

Qingyi shrugged, "The mouth grows on others, we can't care about what you say, the problem is not that I don't do my best, but that the third son has a problem, the young man told me before that he deliberately hid, as for what the reason, no one knows, it's just that unless he wants someone to find him, otherwise...... It's really like looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

Liu Er rolled her eyes and somewhat understood, "What Miss means is that the second young lady can find the third prince every time because she knows when the third son is there and when he is not?" ”

Qingyi looked at her with a smile, with a teachable look, "Drawing inferences, a little understanding, that's pretty much what it means, but ...... Maybe it's not that simple......"

As she spoke, she frowned slightly, but quickly explained herself, laughed at herself, and put the matter behind her completely. Now walking on thin ice here, gradually the shadow of the North Stygian Ink began to appear only in dreams. I don't know if this is good or bad for her.

……

The big hands and small guys who followed Qingyi went back almost at the same time as her, but there was an exception, and that was Chang Xi.

In Chang Xi's own words, he was going to go home first and report to the old lady first.

Qingyi didn't think about him, so he went with him. However, who can know that Chang Xi returned to the Qi Mansion and the first person to report was not the old man or the eldest lady.

At this time, the husband who beat the shift had already knocked the second watch.

The Qi Mansion was still noisy, shuttling back and forth with people, headless flies running around with lanterns, calling "old lady", just like accompanying the old lady to play a game of hide and seek that was not fun at all.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Chang Xi quickly returned to the house first, he followed the path, dexterously avoiding everyone's sight, and finally, quietly entered the courtyard of the second son, and came to the third window on the left side of the courtyard like a familiar car, he knocked on the window edge, rhythmically "bang, bang, bang" five times, and then said softly, "Miss Zhi'er, I brought the agate earrings you asked me to buy." ”
