Riding the Pheonix Chapter 87: There is a thief
It is another sunny afternoon, and the spring scenery in Yufang Garden is bright.
Two little girls lazily swept the weeds and dust.
First it was haunted, then the third wife of Ming Dynasty was hanged, then bones were found in the garden, and then a ghost took over the body during the funeral... One after another, the Ming family was hit hard and lifeless.
When it was haunted, many people in Yu Fangyuan had taken leave of absence, but now it is even more deserted.
While I was sweeping, someone came over in a hurry and I almost bumped into him.
"Be careful!" the maid scolded, "This is a gift from a noble man. I can't afford to sell you both!"
As he said that, he hugged the food box tightly, ignored them, and hurried away.
"Isn't the food in the food box just for food? How expensive it can be, how stingy!" A little girl curled her lips.
The other one was thoughtful.
"Sister Fang'er, what's wrong?" The little girl was puzzled.
The girl named Fang'er said: "Xiaoxiang, haven't you heard?"
Xiaoxiang was confused by the meaningless words: "What did you hear?"
"A noble man has taken a fancy to the lady... Since the noble man sent it, even if it is just some food, it must be a very valuable delicacy. Maybe we can't afford to pay for it if it is really sold."
"Oh." Xiaoxiang understood, "Sister, are you talking about Miss Ah Wan's master?"
"Yes! I heard that Miss Awan is a first-class celebrity next to that noble man. If I didn't really like the young lady, why would I be sent here?"
"So that's it!" Xiaoxiang suddenly realized, "I heard about it before, and I thought it was strange. It's not like the lady has no one to take care of her, so why would she send someone in? It seems like the nobleman is really interested in the lady. Ah!"
Fang'er sighed, feeling very sad: "So what if you are interested? Doesn't this look like marrying a wife? Besides, the lady just went... I don't know what the lady should do."
While the two were talking, there was a scolding from the other side: "Who told you to come in? Don't you have any rules in the Ming family? How dare you enter the house without being a close servant?"
The two little girls looked at each other and quietly walked closer.
The servant girl who had just scolded them bowed her head to Ah Wan: "I am too impatient and worried that the food brought by Mr. Yang will be cold, so..."
"You don't know how to send someone to deliver it?" Ah Wan interrupted her and waved impatiently, "Let's go, let's find someone else to deliver it later!"
"Yes..." The servant woman didn't dare to say a word, lowered her head and retreated.
When leaving, he glared at Fang'er and Xiaoxiang: "What are you looking at!"
Xiao Xiang was annoyed: "What does it have to do with us? Others scolded us, but they took it out on us!"
"Who called us little girls?" Fang'er was not angry. She glanced into the room and frowned again, "This girl Ah Wan has a bad temper. I don't know if she is the same to the young lady. Really?" It’s worrying.”
In the room, Mingwei just woke up from his nap and came out yawning without even pulling his hair back.
"What's wrong, so angry?"
Awan looked at the bowl of fish soup that was still in the food box and sneered: "I sneaked into the house and rummaged around when I wasn't paying attention. Isn't it amazing?"
Mingwei said lazily: "You are pretty good too, guarding the door so closely."
Ah Wan thought it was nothing at first, but when she thought about it more carefully, she asked, "Did you mean something by what you said?"
Gatekeeper, what is the most powerful gatekeeper?
Mingwei waved her hand: "You are a little girl, can you stop thinking so much and praise you properly? You must understand it like that."
"Really?" Ah Wan was very doubtful.
Since coming to the Ming family, she felt that she had become particularly suspicious.
This man always spoke in a serious manner. If you think about it carefully, it would be like swearing, but she just didn't recognize him.
"Next time, tell your young master to stop sending random things," Mingwei took the water from Duofu and rinsed his mouth, "Be careful here and give people a chance over there."
"Don't be ungrateful! Young master is not doing this just to make them believe that he is protecting you!"
"Come on." Mingwei exposed her, "He did this just to force them to take action. He couldn't steal it again and again, so he wanted to force them to rob it!"
Ah Wan said confidently: "Forcing them to reveal their true colors as soon as possible will save us some trouble, right?"
Ming Wei nodded while cleaning his face: "That makes sense."
This statement was verified at night.
Awan woke up at night and suddenly heard a noise outside.
She put on her robe and chased out, seeing a shadow moving away quickly.
She sneered: "How dare you do this little trick in front of my aunt!"
As he said that, he raised his body a few times and flew forward quickly.
There are many flowers, plants and trees in Yu Fong Garden, which somewhat blocks her view.
But it just takes more time.
Awan shuttled among the flowers, looked at the target, raised her arm, and flew out the arrow from her sleeve.
"Seize it!" There was a sound, and the sleeve arrows nailed the thing to the tree.
A-wan walked around the flowers, using the moonlight to see the object clearly, and frowned.
Grass rope! The thing she had been chasing for so long turned out to be a straw rope!
This is to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Awan pulled out the arrow from her sleeve and turned around to go back to the house.
When she returned, she saw the wide open window.
Awan saw ~IndoMTL.com~ but was not in a hurry. When he entered the house, he was stunned when he saw broken machine parts scattered under the window.
She touched her waist without hesitation, pulled out a very thin short blade, and walked in carefully.
There was a sound of sound coming from inside. Is it the thief?
As long as you haven’t left yet!
She held the short blade tightly, looked at the position, and was about to take action——
"Don't move." A familiar voice sounded, "I'm a weak woman, but I'm not as good at martial arts as you, Miss Awan. I'll fall down after just one stab."
Awan's hands froze there, watching Mingwei yawning again.
"Are you okay?"
"Of course, do you want something to happen to me?"
Ah Wan was angry: "You didn't tell me if you were fine! You made me think something happened to you!"
Mingwei sat down and poured himself tea: "Do you think I'm so stupid that I put all my hope in you?"
Before going to bed, Awan placed traps around the house.
So, she is not in a hurry at all to sway the tiger away from the mountain.
It would be better to catch the little thief if he could use the trick to his advantage.
Who knew that as soon as she came in, she saw that the mechanism had been dismantled, which made her really anxious.
"What's going on? Why was my mechanism demolished? Where are the thieves?"
Mingwei took a sip of tea and rubbed his head. Lack of sleep is so annoying!
"I don't know! As soon as you chased me out, the little white snake told me that the thief was really here. Then I called you Young Master..."
"..." Ah Wan stared at her, and it took her a long time to say, "You have a bad reputation as a young master!"
Mingwei said seriously: "Miss Awan, you must speak with your conscience! If you shout like this, it is obviously my own reputation that is ruined. How can you open your eyes and tell lies?"
"..."
Ah Wan was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Seeing her like this, Mingwei decided not to tell her, and even answered with ventriloquism...
