The day before, she got Xiao Jue's verbal promise. After agreeing, she took He Yan to the palace banquet. He Yan slept very sweetly that night. On the morning of the next day, when she woke up, she did not see Xiao Jue as usual. She only had a ginkgo sitting in the yard, waiting for her to get up and have dinner like yesterday.

He Yan used to getting up early in his previous life, and suddenly he slept until midnight. He was embarrassed to let a little girl wait for him. She asked Ginkgo, "Ginkgo, did your second young master ever say where did you go?"

Ginkgo shook his head, "Is Mr. He looking for the second young master to have something urgent to do?"

He Yan smiled, "Just ask casually." But he was a little surprised. After returning to Beijing, Xiao Jue seemed to be very busy. What was he busy with?

But she didn't think much about it, there was something else to do today.

He Yan greeted Ginkgo, changed her clothes and went out. She did not call the carriage, but put on the hat, and walked on the street. She could walk over the Xu family's house with her eyes closed, and soon, she stopped in front of the vermilion gate.

He Yan stood at the door and looked at the mansion in front of him.

Looking inside, the house looked even narrower, as narrow as it could not trap people's ambitions, as narrow as it was like a coffin, and buried her in it.

He Yan originally thought that after so long, she had become very calm. But when she was really standing here, she couldn't calm down. It was here that she was pressed down by He Wanru in a pool of cold water and never saw the sun on the next day.

The servant at the door was sweeping the floor. Xu Zhiheng was a particular person and the house was clean at any time and anywhere. He didn't like flaws, just like he didn't like scars on a woman's skin.

He Yan walked forward and said, "Brother, I'll ask you for personal information."

The sweeping servant stopped, looked at He Yan, and asked, "You are..."

"I'm entrusted by someone to find out," He Yan whispered, "Is there an aunt named He Wanru in your mansion?"

As soon as these words came out, the servant's face changed drastically, "You..."

The next moment, he felt that there was a heavy thing in his hand. He looked down and saw that it was a ingot of silver. The servant swallowed, subconsciously put the silver into his sleeve, looked around and no one noticed it, and whispered: "Young Master, go to the locust tree in the alley ahead to wait for me. This is not a place to speak."

He Yan nodded, "I understand, the guy must come. If I can find out this person for me..." She smiled slightly, "The benefits of the guy are indispensable."

The servant showed joy in his face, "Natural, natural!"

He Yan didn't say much to him. Just as the servant was worried, this place was indeed not the place to speak. Besides, with the relationship between Xu Zhiheng and He Rufei, it was inevitable that there would be no one else walking outside. She lowered her hat and went to the locust tree in the alley that had been agreed to wait.

He Yan was not afraid that the servant would refuse to admit his money just now. Although the Xu family was also an official, they were not generous to the servants. It was probably because Xu Zhiheng was a Hanlin bachelor and learned from the scholar Qingliu, and was more willing to spend the money on decoration, such as the tiles of a house. And a saying that Mrs. Xu likes to say is: If you are too good to the servants, it will be bad to make them have a different intention. You must know that if you are promoted to Mien and fight against Mien, you should not get too close to the servants.

Because she had been in the military camp for many years, she did not have much opinion on the "superman" and "master". She always felt that people were human beings, and high and low were just accessories brought by reincarnation. How could she really rely on this? Therefore, when she first married into the Xu family and was not blind, she was very generous in taking action. At that time, the servants of the Xu family were also happy to be sent by her. It was precisely because of this that He Yan was secretly complained to Xu Zhiheng many times by He Wanru.

Of course, he will raise a servant if he has a master. Xu Zhiheng is a man who can conspire with outsiders to kill his wife for the sake of profit. Then the servants in his house will definitely be profitable and change their minds.

Sure enough, after two incense sticks, someone sneaked into the yard, and it was the servant just now.

He Yan said: "Brother, there is a teahouse nearby, let's go in and talk."

The servant nodded.

He Yan arrived at the teahouse, ordered a pot of good tea, and a few plates of exquisite snacks. He was extremely generous. The servant in front of him couldn't help but think secretly, which family's young master was so rich.

"What do you call me?" He Yan pushed the teacup in front of him.

"Just call me Xiao Fuwang."

He Yan did not take off his hat and his voice was soft, "So Fuwang, what I just said, is that aunt named He Wanru, now in the mansion?"

Fuwang looked embarrassed, "Young Master, I'm going to tell you that there is indeed an Aunt He in our mansion. However, a year ago, Aunt He stole his wife's property and took it to the outside of the mansion for selling it. The eldest master moved the family law. Later, he fell seriously ill and died."

He Yan: "So that's it."

She was not surprised. A year ago, shortly after her death, He Wanru was dealt with by Xu Zhiheng. In fact, she had reminded He Wanru that since Xu Zhiheng could kill herself in order to keep a secret, she could kill her.

"Young Master is looking for Aunt He..." The servant looked at He Yan, but the hat covered his face and couldn't see clearly what this person looked like, but he just vaguely felt very young.

"I am Aunt He's childhood playmate, but I was not in Shuojing in the past," He Yan sighed, "I haven't seen her for many years. I wanted to see her, but I didn't expect..."

Fuwang suddenly realized in his heart. He was afraid that he was not interested in He Wanru or his lover from the past? After all, although he had never seen him before, he also heard that Aunt He was so charming that he was fascinated by his young master that he was so fascinating that he even ignored his grandmother.

"The concubine who made a mistake should not be buried in the clan tomb of the Xu family," He Yan said, "Where is she buried? If possible, I want to take her away."

"Young Master, after Aunt He died of illness, she was rolled up with a mat and threw it into a mass grave." Fu Wang said, "Now, I'm afraid that the corpse can no longer be found."

He Yan sneered in his heart. Xu Zhiheng was extremely tender and sweet to He Wanru at the beginning, and she had longed for envy. Now it seems that this man is so cold-blooded and ruthless. He can still say that he doesn't love him at all, so he can do such a ruthless move. But the woman he really loves to He Wanru is just like this.

When Fuwang met the man in front of him, he remained silent and thought to himself that he was really a love species, and he still missed him after he got married.

He Yan looked up and asked him again: "Where is Aunt He's personal maid? If she is still here, I want to take them out of here. I have missed many things over the years, maybe they can tell me."

"Young Master, Aunt He's personal maid left the house after she passed away." Fu Wang said.

He Yan smiled slightly, "Where are the other servants in the yard?"

Fuwang was stunned.

He entered the mansion at the beginning of this year. When he entered the mansion, the Xu family recruited a large number of servants and maids. The children who were traveling with them were still surprised at that time. Generally speaking, there were no shortages of maids and servants in this kind of wealthy families. Suddenly, they recruited so many people, either they were brides in the house and wanted to hire people, or something happened to the family, and the original person was gone.

Uncle Xu did marry a bride, but he married General Feihong's cousin. Grandma came in and brought enough servants himself, but these servants did not serve him in Grandma's yard.

Then... it happened, so the original person was gone. The so-called absence... it was actually dead?

Fuwang is not stupid. On the contrary, among this group of servants, he is the smartest, but he can only guard the gate, so he often complains about his unfair fate. However, at this moment, he saw a corner of the iceberg from the mouth of this strange man.

The more you know about secrets, the easier it is to die, but it is also easy to change your destiny. Wealth and honor are in danger, and there is no danger. Where can we get rich and honor?

Seeing that the servant's eyes had already appeared with a longing light, He Yan raised his fingers lightly, "Fuwang, I see you are very clever, how are you treating you?"

Fuwang was stunned and said for a while: "Uncle... I don't remember the little one."

"That's a pity," He Yan smiled, "If it were me, a talent like you would definitely be reused."

Fuwang became a little excited.

There were some words that were just stopped, without saying much, He Yan took out a ingot of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table, "I also learned a lot of news today, thank you. But... If you can ask me more, such as Aunt He's maids or servants who were still there at that time, you can get much more than this. Also," she instructed again, "Be careful when doing these things, so many servants have 'lefted'. The master of the Xu family seems to be very strict. If you are not careful, Fuwang, it would be a pity if you 'lefted' the house."

Fuwang looked at the young master in front of him, feeling nervous and excited. He asked uneasy, "But, where should I find the young master?"

The fish took the bait.

He Yan smiled slightly, "I will come here to sit when I have free time. Fuwang If you have something to come to me, you can come here to find me. Maybe when I will come."

After saying this, she got up and left the tea room, leaving the servant alone at the table, her expression unpredictable.

As soon as he left the door, He Yan's smile faded.

Before going to deal with Fuwang, He Yan observed the servants who were entering and leaving the Xu family and found that most of them had bad faces. The group of people she had just married into the Xu family were almost gone.

This is very natural. Xu Zhiheng wants to eliminate the roots, so those servants cannot stay. He Yan actually never thought that he could really find any living things. He was probably ruined by Xu Zhiheng. But she needed a servant like Fuwang to do things for her within the Xu family.

The fire cannot be covered. Things you have done will always be traceable, not human evidence, but as long as some physical evidence, such as some things that He Wanru once left, may become physical evidence one day in the future. No one discovers it, Fuwang can collect information for her, and is discovered by others... Xu Zhiheng will be nervous. A nervous person always has loopholes in his work.

Those who have ghosts in their hearts will suspect that the shadow is an evil ghost who comes to take revenge when walking in the sun.

Fuwang is smart and ambitious, which is enough.

Just like when He Rufei sent Ding to harm him, Xu Zhiheng watched coldly as the person beside him. How did they use the people around them to deal with him, they would remain the same and return them all.

The nightmare between Xu Zhiheng and He Rufei has just begun.

...

When He Yan returned to Xiao’s house, it was almost evening.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I heard Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing talking. Xiao Jing said, "You don't have to do so much, it's enough to do one for Huai Jin."

Bai Rongwei replied a little angrily, "Where are you like this? Besides, these sachets are embroidered by the maid. I just stuffed some vanilla into it without any effort."

He Yan stopped and saluted them, "Young Master Xiao, Young Lady."

"Young Master He," Bai Rong smiled and said, "You are here just right. I was about to ask someone to send you sachets." She took two sachets from the maid beside her and handed them to He Yan, "One is yours, the other is Huaijin's."

He Yan took it and saw that the sachet was made very small, one was embroidered with silver pythons on black background, with gorgeous patterns, and the other was just an ordinary auspicious cloud pattern, which should be for her.

"It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival. I asked my maid to make some sachets, and there were vanilla and peace talismans that were concentrated in it. You and Huaijin often walked out, so it would be nice to put them on them." She smiled, "Young Master He must not dislike you."

He Yan didn't expect that she would have one more, and was very surprised for a moment, "I won't dislike you, I really thank the young lady."

"You are Huai Jin's friend, you don't have to be so polite." Xiao Jing spoke in a gentle voice.

He Yan nodded, and she was always at a loss for the kindness that was about to overflow from the Xiao couple.

"By the way, in three days, the house will hold a banquet," Bai Rongwei seemed a little embarrassed. "I told Mr. He before that the banquet was to be entertained in my name, and there will be many ladies and ladies in the process of the introduction... Is there any trouble for Mr. He that day? If nothing happened, it would be better to stay in the house."

He Yan: "..."

This is Xiao Jue's choice of wife, why did he choose her? He Yan hurriedly said, let's talk about it, and ran away in panic.

Looking at He Yan's hurriedly leaving, Bai Rong said with a slight fuss, "Why is this young man He so afraid when he hears the girl? Although he is still young this year, he is not impossible to get engaged. Could it be that he has been with Huai Jin for a long time and plans to be alone for the rest of his life?"

Xiao Jing smiled: "Huaijin treats him very well."

"That's right." Bai Rong nodded slightly. After she got married, although she knew that Xiao Jue was not bad, she was not a person who liked to show her emotions. But for this young Master He, she could be said to be very direct in protecting her shortcomings.

"It's a good thing to have friends." Xiao Jing looked pleased, "At least, he can discuss many things with others."

...

Under the oil lamp, He Yan lay on the table, looking at the sachet surrounding his fingers.

Bai Rongwei gave her two and asked her to give the other to Xiao Jue. Xiao Jue's sachet was beautiful. He Yan wrapped the red rope around his fingers and sighed in his heart that even the maid Nu Hong of the Xiao family was so well done, which is really shameful.

Of course, He Yan would not be a woman. Therefore, when he just married into the Xu family, He Wanru made shoes and clothes for Xu Zhiheng every now and then He Yan stayed for several nights before he put out a handkerchief. He wanted to embroider the mandarin ducks and play in the water on the handkerchief, but Xu Zhiheng stared at it for a long time before asking, "Is this... a duck?"

He Yan was hit hard, and Xu Zhiheng laughed. Although he later accepted the handkerchief, he had never used it. He Yan couldn't understand. He was at least an official in court. If he took out a handkerchief embroidered with a duck, he would be laughed at by his colleagues. However, later, when he found that the handkerchief had been wrinkled and yellowed at the bottom of Xu Zhiheng's drawer, he felt a little aggrieved when he thought that his hands were covered with needle holes.

She has always learned what men want to learn, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and women’s red embroidery. When she wants to do things as an ordinary woman, she feels at a loss.
