Except for the servant who had just gotten up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, after that, the journey went smoothly and he did not meet anyone else. He Yan carefully walked out of a door, approached Xiao Jue's ear and whispered: "This is He Rufei's study."

This turned out to be He Yan's study room. It's just that he has become He Rufei's. After walking around, he didn't find any other mechanism. He Yan gently pushed the door and walked in.

He was familiar with the place he lived in when he walked, so Xiao Jue went in with her. As soon as he entered, He Yan was a little surprised.

The bookshelf is still the original bookshelf, and the table is also the original table, but the decorations in the study are more than several times more, and there are all kinds of porcelain and antiques, which is completely different from when He Yan lived in the past. She guessed that He had probably put all the things that His Majesty gave in the study, and he didn't know who was showing it to. The bookshelf was originally filled with only half a shelf of books, but now it is full of stuff.

On the wall in the middle, there was a sword hanging, with a green body and a little green color on the scabbard.

She was stunned for a moment, her eyes unconsciously condensed on the Qinglang sword, trying to reach out to get the sword, but she took it back when her fingers were about to touch the sword body.

Xiao Jue asked: "What?"

He Yan shook his head: "It's not the time yet."

Even if she could steal the Qinglang sword back tonight, He would definitely report to the official tomorrow. The sword in her hand became a "stolen goods" and could not appear in front of others openly. Isn't this an insult to Qinglang?

So, now is not the time.

He Yan thought for a while, got up and walked to the bookshelf, squatted down, half of his body lay on the ground, stretched out his hand to grop inside, and when he touched a familiar bulge, he secretly let out a slight "click", which turned out to be an empty mezzanine. He Yan took out a small box the size of a palm from the mezzanine.

Xiao Jue asked: "What is this?"

"Linglong box." He Yan replied in a low voice: "There is only one reward that Your Majesty gave me at the beginning. After I left, I handed this thing over to He Rufei, and I thought he would not be willing to throw it away."

The secret wall on the bookshelf was made by He Yan when he was in the past. This Linglong box was precious. Before she got married, she could not take away these things, so she handed them all over to He Rufei. The Linglong box is very suitable for storing confidential scrolls. Even the best skilled craftsmen in the world cannot open it. Only those who have set up a way to unlock the Linglong box will know how to open it. And the way to unlock it can only be set up once.

This thing is so precious that He Rufei's temperament should not be discarded. Moreover, in He Rufei's view, He Yan is dead, and he is the only one in the world who knows how to untie the Linglong box, so of course he is happy and relaxed.

However, he did not expect that He Yan would be resurrected from the dead, and this time it would be convenient for him to act.

"I don't know what he put inside." He Yan said in his heart, picked up the Linglong box and according to the memory in his mind, gently rotated the lock on the blind man. In a moment, with a "bang", the lid of the Linglong box opened.

The two looked into the box.

...

In Mrs. He Er's house, He Xinying and Mrs. He Er were sitting on the head of the bed, holding the military book stole from the old residence of Xu Jia He Yan in his hand, and asked: "Mom, what is this? Did my sister stay? What did she keep this for?"

Her voice was very low, and only a small oil lamp was placed on the head of the bed in the room, and the maids were driven out of the house. He Xinying only said that she had not seen her mother for a long time, and wanted to share with her mother at night to encourage her and take care of her. Now she dared not believe anyone, and she dared not stay by her side, especially the people brought by the Xu family.

Mrs. He Er stared at the military book in her hand in a daze, with tears in her eyes and no words were spoken.

He Xinying felt that her mother must have known something, and she was even more anxious, "Mom, why don't you talk? Are you hiding something from me? I always think Xu Zhiheng is weird. Sister..." She wanted to say that maybe He Yan's death was not as rumored by the outside world, but when she saw Mrs. He Er, she swallowed the words she said.

If He Yan's death was really not simple, Mrs. He would definitely be even more sad after knowing it. Her mother's health is not good at the moment, so she must not make it worse.

"Ying'er, don't worry about these things." After a long time, Mrs. He spoke, her voice was particularly tired: "You just need to live your life well."

"How can I live a good life? I don't want to die if I don't understand it like my elder sister!" He Xinying blurted out.

As soon as she said that, she regretted it. Mrs. He Er's face turned pale and she coughed twice. He Xinying quickly picked up the handkerchief next to her and wiped her mouth. When the handkerchief fell, there was a splash of blood on it, which looked shocking.

He Xinying was startled and said in panic: "Mom... why are you so sick?"

Although she had known that Mrs. He Er was bedridden for many days when she came, the He family only said that it was an ordinary cold and it would be better to rest at home for a few days. But now it seems that it is much more serious.

"Didn't my dad come to see the doctor? What's going on?" He Xinying was anxious and was about to get out of bed. "I'll ask the doctor to come with a post..."

"Don't go." Mrs. He Er grabbed her hand. The woman who looked weak looked particularly strong when she grabbed the person, as if she was going to use all her strength in her life. "Mom is an old problem, it's okay. It's okay."

He Xinying's tears were about to fall out, "Mom, why don't you tell me anything? I feel like there is something in the mansion that is hidden from me, but I don't know anything."

Before getting married, she was carefree and innocent and happy. When the eldest sister passed away, she married Xu Zhiheng. She had a fuss for a while, but soon she was moved by Xu Zhiheng's gentleness and consideration. A girl who had never experienced the sinister world in her naively thought that she could be protected for the rest of her life. But when some ugly truths were revealed and she vaguely saw a trace of dirty and dangerousness in it, she felt powerless as a woman.

"Ying'er," Mrs. He Er said slowly, "Your elder sister is dead, and your mother has only you, my daughter." She looked at He Xinying lovingly, reached out to comfort her and patted He Xinying's head, just like He Xinying was still a child, "You must remember that no matter whether it is in the He family or the Xu family, no one should believe it. Mother has no ability, can't protect your sister, nor can you protect you. If you want to live well, don't look, don't ask, don't listen."

He Xinying said mutely: "The elder sister became blind shortly after she married into the Xu family. Didn't she see nothing? But she was still dead."

A trace of pain flashed in Mrs. He Er's eyes.

"Mom, you just need to tell me if this military book was left by the elder sister, why did Xu Zhiheng read it so important? And the elder brother, who came to the Xu family every few days, was not here to see me, but to look for Xu Zhiheng. And you..." She said: "Are you under house arrest by your father?"

Mrs. He Er looked at the woman in front of her. Although she was her biological sister, she always felt that He Yan and He Xinying did not look similar. He Yan was strong, independent, silent and quiet. He had been wearing a mask since she was a child, so when she looked back, she couldn't think of what He Yan looked like when she was a child. However, when she grew up, she returned to the He family as a woman and had seen it so few times.

A girl who is a little heroic and handsome, with a firm and courageous look between her eyebrows and eyes.

He Xinying is different, soft and glutinous, like a snow-white ball, which looks like a likable one. He will cry when he is stepped on and act coquettishly for a beautiful dress.

These two daughters have completely different temperaments, so she naturally believes that He Yan is born with strength, and He Xinying is born with people's love.

Until He Yan's death.

One day, she suddenly realized that perhaps in those days, He Yan was like He Xinying, and would cry when he was wronged. When she saw the things she liked, she longed to have. Just like a strong girl, she would also need the care and love of her mother. The girl in front of her who always held the corner of her clothes and clamored to buy candy, had grown up unknowingly.

He Xinying didn't know how similar she was to her dead elder sister when she was sank her face and stubbornly pursued a truth seriously and stubbornly.

But even so, she still couldn't say anything.

If you know too much, the more dangerous it will be for He Xinying. She has lost a daughter and must not lose another one.

"I……"

Before Mrs. He could say anything, she suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "There are thieves! There are thieves in the mansion! Hurry up and catch thieves!"

When the time comes, the whole He Mansion becomes lively.

"Are there any thief?" He Xinying subconsciously shrank to the head of the bed, and said, "Whoever dares to enter our mansion without eyes?"

Mrs. He Er grabbed her arm and said, "Don't talk, don't go out, be careful!"

He Xinying nodded.

On the other side, He Yan was running around the yard with Xiao Jue, secretly scolding He Rufei for being cunning. Although He Rufei could not change any more in the way of enlightenment of Linglong Box, this person was very suspicious and even put a layer of mechanism inside the box. Once Linglong Box was opened, a whistle would sound.

In this way, as long as someone opens the Linglong box here, he will be discovered.

However, when she opened it, she saw clearly. There were several letters in it. She put the letters in her arms. Since He Rufei did not leave the exquisite box empty and deliberately tampered with it, these letters must be very important. Today's trip will not be considered to have nothing.

"The guards are all awake." Xiao Jue reminded her: "Escape or fight?"

"I bring your sword with you, and the sword will be exposed as soon as it is unsheathed. You can't hit it," He Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "Come with me!"

She remembered every corner of the Hefu yard, and it was easy to avoid people. But I wonder if He Rufei was very guilty and short-sighed during this period. There were more guards in the mansion than servants. At this moment, when the whistle sounded, torches and hands emerged from all directions.

"They are there, chase!"

"The general said that if you catch the assassin, you don't have to leave a living mouth, and you will be free from life or death!"

He Yan sneered in his heart, and was so scared that he became more and more convinced that the letter in his arms must be not simple. She pulled Xiao Jue and walked along the way. When she passed by a house, she dodged and hid in.

Mrs. He was pulling He Xinying against the head of the bed, hugging the quilt, and suddenly saw two more people in the room. He Xinying was so scared that she was about to scream. The next moment, a cold sword crossed her neck, and the man in black covered said, "Stop talking, if you dare to shout, I will kill you."

He Xinying was so scared that she immediately fell silent.

He Yan was holding a long sword in his hand, and was also very upset. She originally thought that Mrs. He Er's yard was closest to the other end of the exterior wall, so she would come and borrow a message. Who knew that Mrs. He Er didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and He Xinying was there too. Why didn't he rest here after so late? The mother and daughter were whispering? He Yan suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart, but what is this now? She held her biological mother and sister with her own hands?

Perhaps some of the noise inside was spreading outside, and a maid asked outside, "Second Madam? What happened to the second lady?"

He Yan's heart was thrilled. Before she could threaten her, Mrs. He had already spoken, her tone as usual, "It's nothing, I'm just a little coughing."

There was no movement outside, and He Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Xiao Jue behind him, he was staring at the door vigilantly to prevent anyone from rushing in.

"Listen," He Yan whispered: "I have no intention of hurting both of you. Give me the backyard keys and let us leave."

He Xinying spoke tremblingly, "Who knows if you will kill someone to silence you?"

He Yan was a little surprised. This sister looked obedient and clever. She never thought she would have some courage. She deliberately suppressed her voice and spoke in a sinister way, "Do you think you are qualified to talk to me?"

He Xinying's face turned pale and she didn't dare to speak anymore.

But Mrs. He Er ignored the long sword on He Xinying's neck, walked out of the bed, took out a key from the drawer, and handed it to her, "You guys go."

He Yan was very surprised.

She thought that Mrs. He also wanted to talk to her about the conditions or find a way to inform the He family. He Yan was even prepared to be wary of her, but she didn't expect that she would be so peaceful. He Yan couldn't help looking at the other party, and the woman in front of her stared at her with her eyes firmly, her eyes that He Yan couldn't understand.

She seemed to be looking at He Yan, or looking at another person through He Yan. If He Yan hadn't known that he had worn a black scarf on his face, he would have almost doubted whether Mrs. He had recognized her.

Seeing that He Yan was not moving, Mrs. He pushed her again: "The guards will come soon, let's go."

Xiao Jue nodded to her: "Go."

He Yan didn't care about anything else, grabbed the key in the backyard and turned around to leave. When he passed by, he suddenly felt something was stuffed in his hand. Without time to take a closer look, she subconsciously put the thing in her hand in her arms, took the key and opened the door of the backyard and ran out.

Mrs. He Er said it was right. The pursuers arrived in a blink of an eye. When they came, they drilled into the dog hole, but when they returned, they had no time. Since they were exposed, they walked directly to the back wall. The guard who was chasing him was about to follow him, and suddenly felt a pain in his knees. He looked down and saw that the yellow dog, who came from somewhere, bit his calf. The pain made the man cry and howl. He couldn't catch up for a while, and watched the two men in black disappear into the night.

...

The mansion was in chaos, and He Xinying finally calmed down and reignited the lamp on the table, patted her chest and said, "I was so scared that I was so scared just now. That man's eyes were so fierce. I'm really afraid that he would kill us. Mom, if my uncle knew that we let the assassin go away, he would be angry even if it was to save his life. If no one noticed this, don't tell others for now... Mom?"

Mrs. He Er just stared at her hands blankly, as if she had not listened to what she had just said. He Xinying said anxiously: "Mom!"

Mrs. He Er came to her senses and looked at her and said, "I understand, don't tell anyone about this... Mr. Xu, don't say it either."

He Xinying felt strange. My mother just saw that the man in black looked very wrong, and then she thought of something, "But are those two people really here to steal things? I saw that they were empty-handed and didn't steal anything. My military books... By the way, where is my military books?"

When Mrs. Tonghe was talking on the collapse, the military books were placed on the head of the bed, and now they were empty. He Xinying was stunned, "Is it true that those two people stole my military books, right? But what did they do to steal military books? Mom, have you seen my military books?"

Mrs. He Er coughed and said, "No need to find it. I will give it to the man in black just now."

"Why?" He Xinying never expected Mrs. He Er to take such a move.

"That thing is a disaster for you and my hands." Mrs. He Er's expression was empty. "Since the two of them came to steal, they were empty-handed. I don't know if they had stole what they wanted to steal. If they stole it, they would add icing on the cake. If they didn't succeed, they would not be in vain to come to He's house in a timely manner."
