My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 4054

Liu Mingzhi withdrew his gaze from the neighboring courtyard and slowly turned his head to scan the rooms a dozen steps away.

Then, he immediately set off again and walked directly towards the side room located in the southeast corner.

At this moment, the candlelight in that room had been extinguished, presumably indicating that the owner of the room had already retired for the night.

Although I don't know which room Gu Mo Lan Ya is living in now, I can ask a good lady for Lan Ya's room!
The room he was heading to was the one where Ying'er lived.

Ying'er's residence was one of the few good wives that Young Master Liu knew.

Once I find Ying'er and ask her where Lan Ya lives, I should be able to find out which room Lan Ya is staying in.

Of course, it's only that we should be able to find out, not that we're guaranteed to find out.

After all, it's possible that Ying'er doesn't even know where Lan Ya's room is!
However, this is not a big deal.

If Ying'er doesn't know Lan Ya's room, then she can just ask the other ladies.

Liu Mingzhi walked lightly to Ying'er's door and stopped. He then raised his hand and gently knocked on the door twice.

Immediately, he leaned slightly forward and called out softly into the quiet room.

"Ying'er."

"Ying'er."

As Young Master Liu finished speaking, the room remained silent, with no response coming from within.

Upon seeing this, Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly, then raised his voice a little and called out softly again, "Ying'er, are you asleep?"

Oriole, oriole, are you asleep?

"It's me, your husband. I need to speak with you about something."

This time, even after Young Master Liu finished speaking, there was still no sound from inside the room.

When Liu Mingzhi saw that he had called out to Ying'er twice but had not received any response, he sighed with regret.

"Xu~"

"Ying'er drank quite a lot of alcohol today, and then her whole family strolled around the night market for a long time."

Therefore, it's understandable that Ying'er is fast asleep now.

"Alright, since Ying'er is fast asleep now, I'll just have to go see Lian'er."

After silently considering it to himself, Liu Mingzhi shook his head with a light laugh and turned to head straight for the courtyard next door.

Although the candles in Ying'er's room had been extinguished, there were still lights on in three or four other rooms in the courtyard!
Under normal circumstances, Young Master Liu wouldn't need to rush to the neighboring courtyard to find Qinglian and inquire about Gu Molanya's room. He could simply find a room with the lights still on and knock on the door.

Unfortunately, the situation he was in was not normal!
The reason is that he doesn't know which room his sister-in-law, Gu Molanya, is currently living in.

If, without knowing where Lan Ya's room is, I happen to knock on her door, there could be a huge misunderstanding.

Oh! In the dead of night, for the brother-in-law to go and knock on his sister-in-law's door alone, isn't that just asking for trouble?

Faced with this situation, who knows what Lanya is thinking?

What if Lan Ya accidentally overthinks things and misunderstands, mistaking me for something else? Wouldn't that be too unfair to me?

Even worse, if Yun'er and Rui'er were to find out about this, the misunderstanding would only deepen.

After all, just a short while ago, Qi Yun and Ren Qingrui had joked about her and Lan Ya.

The main reason I knocked on Ying'er's door or went to the neighboring courtyard to look for Qinglian was because I didn't want Yun'er and Rui'er to know about this.

Otherwise, why not just go back to your room and ask Yun'er, the matriarch who manages everything, where Lan Ya lives?

Therefore, Liu Mingzhi was very clear in his mind that even if he found out where Gu Molanya lived from Lian'er, he would still have to bring Lian'er with him to knock on the door.

If I don't act in this way, it's easy for misunderstandings to occur.

After all, it wasn't broad daylight, but late at night.

In the dead of night, the brother-in-law went to knock on his sister-in-law's door alone.

If I didn't have a good wife by my side to stand up for me, then even if I had a lot of mouths, I still wouldn't be able to explain myself!

However, what Liu Mingzhi didn't know was that just as he stepped down the steps outside Ying'er's room, Ying'er was sitting on her bed, carefully listening to his footsteps!

As his footsteps faded into the distance, Ying'er's tense body went limp.

Immediately afterwards, she first parted her red lips slightly and exhaled a long breath, then raised her hand and gently patted her proud chest a few times.

"call!"

"Oh dear, the young master has finally left."

According to the schedule arranged by the sisters, shouldn't Sister Wei'er be the one to stay up with the young master tonight?

It was clearly Sister Wei'er's turn, so why did Young Master come here to me?

Could it be that Sister Wei'er has already fallen asleep early because she drank too much today? Or perhaps Sister Wei'er's menstrual period started early, which is why the young master rushed here?
Never mind, never mind, whatever the reason, as long as the young master has left, that's fine.

You know, last night I and my sisters already ate and took more than we should have.

Tonight, I absolutely cannot eat or take any more of the young master's food.

Otherwise, it would be too unfair to the other good friends.

After muttering to herself for a while, Ying'er gently pulled the silk quilt covering her beautiful body and slowly lay down on the pillow behind her.

Although she really wanted the young master to rest with her, she had to pretend to be asleep and forcefully keep him out in order to be fair.

Judging from the words the beautiful woman muttered softly, it was clear that she had misunderstood the purpose of Young Master Liu knocking on her door.

After adjusting herself into a comfortable position by pulling the quilt, Ying'er silently closed her beautiful eyes.

Similarly, what Young Master Liu was unaware of was that just as he passed through the archway in front of him, the door to the room next to Ying'er's room suddenly opened. Immediately afterward, Gu Molan, wearing a moon-white outer robe, gracefully stepped out of the room.

After Gu Molan walked out of the room with light, graceful steps, she turned her slender waist and looked towards Ying'er's room.

When she saw that there was no one outside Ying'er's room, she quickly turned her fair and slender neck to observe the situation inside the courtyard.

The courtyard was brightly lit by the light from the lanterns under the eaves and the hazy moonlight cast by the bright moon in the night sky, with no obstructions to the view.

She looked around, carefully surveying everything in the courtyard.

However, as she scanned the courtyard, she couldn't see a single person except for the things she was familiar with.

Seeing this, Gu Molanya couldn't help but scrutinize her delicate eyebrows.

"What's going on? Did I mishear?"

After silently pondering for a moment with a look of doubt on her face, Gu Molanya lifted her lotus feet and walked lightly down the steps outside the door.

Then, she gracefully swayed her slender waist and once again strolled back and forth in the courtyard.

After about seven or eight breaths, she quietly withdrew her gaze.

At this moment, she finally realized that there was no one else in the courtyard besides herself.

Gu Molanya raised her fair hand and gently massaged her temples. After a moment of hesitation, her pretty face showed a hint of doubt. Then she turned around and walked straight to the window of Ying'er's room.

Soon, she arrived at the window outside Ying'er's room.

After gracefully stopping her steps, Gu Molanya raised her slender arm and gently tapped on the window of Ying'er's room a few times.

"Sister Ying'er."

"Sister Ying'er, are you asleep?"

Ying'er heard Gu Molan knocking on her window and Gu Molan asking if she had rested. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, which she had just closed for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, with a slightly tense expression on her pretty face, she placed one hand on the bed beneath her and leaned slightly towards the graceful figure reflected in the window by the lantern light under the eaves.

"Lan Ya, is that you?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Molanya quickly nodded her head and replied in a sweet voice, "Yes, yes, it is indeed your younger sister, Sister Ying'er."

Ying'er heard Gu Molanya's reply and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh dear, Lanya, I had just fallen asleep for a little while when you woke me up."

"My dear sister, what's wrong? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?"

When Gu Molan heard Ying'er ask her question, a hint of hesitation flashed across her beautiful face.

Immediately, she first gently bit her pearly white teeth, and then tightly clenched her fair hands.

"Sister Ying'er, I'm fine."

"Um, um."

"Um, well, little sister, I just wanted to ask you, did you hear anything just now?"

After hearing Gu Molanya's slightly hesitant reply, Ying'er instantly understood why Gu Molanya had been knocking on her window.

It seems that Lan Ya also heard her young master knocking on her door and calling her softly.

Although she had already guessed Gu Molanya's intentions, Ying'er still pretended to be confused and replied in a coquettish voice, "What noise? What noise?"
Lanya, I've finished washing up and taking a shower, and I'm going to rest now.

I've been asleep for a while now and haven't heard anything!

If it weren't for you, Lan Ya, suddenly knocking on my window, I reckon I would have slept soundly until dawn.

"Lanya, why are you suddenly asking me this? Did you hear something unusual?"

Gu Molan took a deep breath with her lips slightly parted, and immediately replied softly, "Sister Ying'er, I did vaguely hear a few knocks on the doors and windows just now."

After hearing the knocking on the doors and windows, I immediately got up, dressed, and went out to check the situation.

However, when I came out of the room, I didn't see anyone.

Now it seems most likely that because my room window was closed, it was blown open by the night wind in the yard, so I mistakenly thought someone was knocking on the door and window!

Sister Ying'er, I'm all right now.

It's late, you should get some rest.

As soon as Gu Molanya finished speaking in a soft voice, Ying'er's response came from inside the room: "Yes, yes, I understand, sister."

"Lanya, may you rest in peace soon too."

"Okay, goodnight, Sister Ying'er."

"Okok good night."

Gu Molanya took a light breath with her red lips slightly parted. While turning her fair and slender legs to observe the situation in the courtyard again, she walked gracefully down the steps outside Ying'er's room.

She carefully observed the courtyard and, after confirming that there was no one around, silently withdrew her gaze from the surroundings.

Perhaps I really misheard.

I drank quite a bit of alcohol at Brother Huyan and Sister-in-law Safisa's place today, and now that the alcohol is kicking in, my head is a little foggy.

Under such circumstances, it's perfectly normal to mishear.

After muttering to herself for a moment, Gu Molanya lifted her lotus feet and walked towards the outhouse in the corner of the courtyard.

At the same time, Young Master Liu had already arrived outside the room where Qinglian was staying.

Looking at the flickering candlelight in Qinglian's room, Liu Mingzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then chuckled and knocked on the door a few times.
