Chapter 164: A Coveted Good Thing (Part 2)
Before this trip to Yiyang, Sang Pu and Fengshou were frightened by Xiao Yu's reputation and did not dare to joke with her.
After several days of getting along, the two of them have figured out her temperament.
Jiu Ye has a noble status, but he does not have the spoiledness of his daughter's family, and he is not as good as an ordinary woman who loves to care about small things.
In many cases, they even feel that Jiu Ye’s temperament is more refreshing than most men in the world.
But until now, the two of them saw one thing clearly, and Master Jiu was actually quite tricky.
Such fatty braised pork requires a lot of courage for them who are not hungry yet.
"Don't want to eat?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows.
"Jiu Master..." Sang Pu looked at her bitterly: "Can you slow down a little? If you are hungry, eat again?"
Fengshou also said: "That's right, young people will definitely eat when they are hungry later."
Xiao Yan didn't mean to be a joke at all.
She lowered her voice and said, "I can tolerate you, but the people outside will not tolerate us."
They will come to the food box soon. If there is still leftovers of these foods, they may cause other trouble.
The braised pork is too fat and it is even more impossible to eat after it gets cold. You two are working harder."
After saying that, she poked a big steamed bun with chopsticks and ate it.
Sang Pu and Feng Huo grinned.
It's light, why don't you work hard?
After all, the two of them didn't dare to talk back to Xiao Yan, picked up their chopsticks and started eating meat.
Xiao Yan swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth: "After it gets dark, you two will stay here honestly."
"You are planning..." Sang Pu pointed outside.
Xiao Yan nodded: "I'll go and explore Mr. Li's background."
Fengshou said: "Is this... too dangerous?"
Master Jiu’s skills are no less than their master, but what if a boat capsizes in the gutter, who can guarantee that she can come back without any damage?
If something unexpected happens, let alone the old prince, I am afraid that he will be implicated.
Xiao Yan said: "There are many little-known things in Ruoshui City. The more they conceal the problem, the more serious it is.
We can only investigate secretly first, grasp some clues before considering what to do next.
Don't worry, I will be very careful."
If they sought to see each other as envoys of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Lord Chunyu City would not have told him in truth.
Even if he was willing to speak, they could not tell the truth about his words.
Just like dealing with Liang Ruoru not long ago, you must first find the weakness of the City Lord Chunyu, so that you will have the opportunity to listen to his truth.
Sang Pu felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that I'm not here, otherwise he will definitely help you."
Xiao Ying smiled and said, "The fewer people in this kind of thing, the better. He attracted most of Mr. Li's energy to me in the living yard, which was to help me the greatest benefit."
Moreover, based on her understanding of Brother Huan, it would be strange if he would stay in the living yard tonight and sleep.
The two servants knew that they could not dissuade Xiao Xiang, so they could only focus on eating meat.
They can't help with it if they are busy. If this little thing cannot be completed, it will be really a waste.
The steamed buns and braised pork were quickly eaten up.
Sang Pu and Fengshou felt very uncomfortable in their stomachs. They lay on the floor and did not dare to move, for fear of accidentally spitting out the food stuffed in.
Xiao Yan put the plates and chopsticks into the food box and cleaned them up properly.
After a while, the big man who delivered the meal came indeed.
"Uncle." Xiao Yan welcomed him with the food box: "We've finished eating, please take it back."
The big man took the food box, lifted the lid and glanced: "You guy is very good at doing things, if you are those two..."
He glanced at the two teenagers who were lying motionless on the floor: "It would be nice to have a few pickles to put steamed buns. It would be a dream to eat the braised pork in our mansion!"
Xiao Ying echoed: "Yes, the meat brought by the uncle is so fragrant. I have never eaten such delicious braised pork in my life."
The big man smiled: "You kid is still so good at talking. After eating, you go to bed early, and the uncle will leave first."
With a click, the woodsheds were locked again.
Sang Pu and Fengcheng let out a wail at the same time.
Master Jiu really cheated them!
If today's supper is really pickled and steamed buns, they wouldn't feel so uncomfortable!
It was dark late in summer, and Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the ground and closed her eyes to rest until Sang Pu lit the oil lamp. She opened her eyes.
She stretched out her hand, and Sang Pu understood and threw the fire pendant over.
Xiao Ge stood up and walked to the window, put the fire pie into his arms, and took out a small dagger.
After a gentle farewell, the window opened quietly.
Xiao Yan made a gesture to Sang Pu and jumped out.
Li Mansion occupies a small area and has also dug a considerable pond, so the number of houses is very limited.
Behind the living room is Mr. Li's residence. At this time, the main room and the east and west wing rooms were pitch black, and only the two hanging lanterns under the corridor emitted orange light.
Xiao Yan flew to the corner of the wall and was invisible in the dark.
Most people should go to bed at this time, but for scholars, it is time to read in the middle of the night.
Even if Mr. Li is not a real scholar, if something happens in the mansion today, he shouldn't have gone to bed so early.
In other words, Mr. Li is probably not in the mansion at this moment, at least not in this place.
Xiao Yan looked at the two servants who were dozing off at the door of the main room, flashed to the window of the east wing, and opened the window with the old method.
A rich and familiar fragrance of medicine floated across her nose.
Before, she always thought that the fragrance of medicine on Mr. Li was infected by the powdered medicine.
Unexpectedly, the guy set up a pharmacy in his residence.
Xiao Yan took a look in the light of the lantern and jumped in.
Although she has not learned medical skills seriously, she has also been exposed to many herbs in order to learn to distinguish poison.
Xiao Yan took out the fire broker from his arms and gently opened it. He saw that except for the two walls on the doors and windows in the east wing, the other two walls were all arranged into medicine cabinets.
She walked over and glanced quickly. There were many varieties of medicines, but they were all ordinary people.
Xiao Yu snorted coldly. It can be seen from a lunch that Mr. Li is a person who is accustomed to enjoying life.
But the housekeeper insisted on saying that he was frugal by nature and had no place to entertain guests.
Just looking at these medicines, he is indeed not generous, but this trick makes it too inferior.
but……
Xiao Yan's brows frowned again.
There must be something wrong with this medicine cabinet, but where is the problem?
She never thinks she is a lucky person. Instead of trying her luck, it is better to honestly follow the order.
However, what she didn't expect was that she had a pretty good luck tonight.
When I touched the fifth drawer, a wide gap was cracked between the two walls.
Xiao Yan was secretly happy, and his toes swept to the gap, and flashed into it.
The secret room is a small room with a size of five feet square, and Xiao Yan raised the fire note in his hand.
Seeing the small medicine cabinet in front of him, Xiao Yan almost exclaimed in surprise.
It turns out that all the poisons collected here are all poisons, and a few of them have almost disappeared.
What a coveted good thing...
Chapter completed!
