Not worried about Xiao Qi, Murong Xiude turned his head, and this time he saw someone approaching Shen Xiangwan, and the stone in his hand was thrown in front of him fiercely. He then turned around and pulled Shen Xiangwan and ran away. 


     "Sister Wan ran quickly. ”


     Shen Xiangwan didn't dare to look back. The sound of footsteps behind her was enough to show that the guards were frantically rushing toward her. 


     The two of them fled wildly one after another, Shen Xiangwan looked at this familiar and slightly unfamiliar street. In her last life, she used to go in and out of many alleys in order to complete that person's tasks. In this area, it seems that not much has changed. 


     “Follow me. ”


     Relying on the memory deep in her mind, she grabbed Murong Xiude and went to a dead end. 

     The person behind her saw that they were going to a dead-end, and slowed down triumphantly. 

     “This time, I will see where this dead girl is fleeing. ”


     Murong Rongzhi wiped his neck, “Today, I will definitely smash that dead girl into pieces. ”

     “Xiaoye don't worry, it's a dead-end here. ”


     A guard hurriedly responded. The group of people walked slowly and came to the end, but they didn't see anyone at all. 


     The attendant responded quickly. The group followed and walked slowly, and when they came to the end, they saw no one at all.     "Didn't you say this is a dead-end? Where are the people! where are the people?"     The young man panicked when he was shouted at.

"This, this, I... I'm not too clear."


(.(☉̃).)   


Murong Rongzhi's eyes almost turned white, how could he be so unlucky this day. Annoyed, he kicked the little servant fiercely, and then beat a few of the entourage, before rushing away. The group of people who accompanied him looked around in wonder, thinking about searching the houses around them. It would definitely not be possible to do this without great fanfare.  They sighed one by one, and finally decided to wait here, vowing to find the dead girl who had beaten them.


     At this moment, Shen Xiangwan, who was sitting in the house was facing a bronze mirror in the room, leaning forward lightly brushing her scattered hair. 


     The polished iron pin was put back in her hair again. When you looked at it, you would only regard it as a small iron pin stuck in the hair. But only Murong Xiude, who has experienced today's dangerous battle, can understand that this iron pin can be used as protection for the young lady. 

     “Sister Wan, you are so amazing, you actually know where the key to this house is! ”


     Shen Xiangwan's hand slowed down, her long eyelashes swept lightly on her cheeks, and she did not answer Murong Xiude's words. 


     Of course, she knew that in this alley there was actually a house with access to two streets. 

     Moreover, the key to this house is indeed placed in the gap in the tenth stone of the wall. 

     The reason she knows this is because this room is the property that family bought in advance. 

     In the future, there will be countless dark things going on in this house. 


     Taking a deep breath, Shen Xiangwan tied her hair and got up, "Let's go, I don't know if Xiao Qi has been frightened. ”


     When it came to Xiao Qi, Murong Xiude didn't have the mind to ask any more questions. He probed and took a look, then looked at the figures in the alley outside, and said worriedly, "Wan'er, there are still those people guarding outside."


     “I'll take you out. "Shen Xiangwan turned around and took his hand. 


     Being held by the young lady's gentle hand, Murong Xiude's troubled heart calmed down again. 

     The two walked out calmly. When he walked out, the sky was clear. 


     After a few more steps, there was an endless stream of people. 


     “Let's go, let's go find Xiao Qi quickly. ”


    Fortunately, Xiao Qi was not stupid. He had been squatting on the road in front of the Houye Mansion. It wasn't until he saw Shen Xiangwan and the two of them coming that he hurriedly ran out and took Shen Xiangwan's hand, “Sister Wan, you came back. ”


     “It's okay, if you encounter such a thing in the future, run as soon as you can. ”When she said this, she deliberately glanced at Murong Xiude. The latter lowered his head with a stern expression. Although it feels good for this kid to guard her with all his heart, it is very wrong to do so. Why bother to die together. From her point of view, it is extremely unwise to do so. 


     “Sister, go in, Xiaoye and I will go to the back of the concierge to change clothes. ”


     Shen Xiangwan nodded and stepped inside. 


     While Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu were changing clothes together, Murong Rongzhi also brought people into the house. 


     As soon as these people entered the door, A servant, who was on duty, hurriedly greeted them. However, when he arrived at the door, Murong Rongzhi kicked him over. 


     “Dog minion, Why didn't you open the door quickly when you saw Xiaoye coming back. Don't you know it's raining now? ”


     The servant covered his legs uncomfortably and looked up at the sky. Obviously, it was just the wind blowing through the big tree, and a little dew fell down. Okay.


     It's just that as soon as this young master, who usually only studies in the college, comes back, no matter how angry he is, they all have to endure it. 


     He nodded and sent the person in, Murong Rongzhi still cursed and grumbled. 


     Along the way, he kicked a lot of flower pot decorations and the like. 


     When the people were far away, the servant quickly picked things up. 


     When he turned around, Murong Xiude and the others had also come out of the backroom. 


    “I heard the noise here just now, and I didn't dare to come out, Uncle Ye, who was it just now? "Xiao Qi asked puzzled. He didn't know much about the young masters in this mansion. After all, most of them stay outside, and they only come back occasionally. 


     “Oh, it's the eldest son of the fifth branch."


    Ye Zi looked at Murong Xiude who was standing silently in the shadows not far away and sighed again. This person cannot be compared with others. 


     The more he go to know the Ninth Young Master, the more he felt that he was so reasonable and approachable, but his luck was a little off.


    "The eldest son of the fifth room!"


        “Let's go, this is the door. ”


     Xiao Qi is still very cautious. 


   At such a place, people come and go, and it's not a good thing to see him and the Young Master here all the time.


    After returning to the room to lie down, Murong Xiude found that his whole body was aching.

    Xiao Qi was even more startled and frightened and fell asleep early.


    Although he was very weak, Murong Xiude still had many questions in his mind. How could Wan'er know that there was a key in that crack in the wall? Who is the owner of that house?

    He glanced sideways at Xiao Qi, who was sleeping next to him. The little guy's eyebrows looked a little similar to Wan'er at this time. He stared at Xiao Qi's eyebrows in the moonlight outside the window. These eyebrows were the same as Sister Wan'er's. 


     “Sister Wan'er, when will you let go of my heart...”


    “And Xiao Qi, are you and Wan'er really just ordinary servants? Why do I think that there are many different things in it, what do you... want from me? ”At this moment, Murong Xiude hated his early wisdom a little bit. Why bother to think about so many reasons, wouldn't it be great to live blindly like this? However, he knew that he would think about it and get to the bottom of it.……
