Chapter 4060

Upon hearing Gu Molan's hesitant question, Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and gently tapped his brow twice with a somewhat uncertain expression.

He then slowly turned his head and roughly surveyed the surroundings of the courtyard.

Under his gaze, there were still three or four rooms in the central courtyard with flickering lights on!

If nothing unexpected happens, one of the three or four rooms that are still lit up should be the room where Lan Ya lives.

The reason Liu Mingzhi had this thought was because Gu Molanya was not in the room, but standing right in front of him!
Gu Molanya was standing right in front of him, so it wasn't surprising that the lights in her room were still on.

However, at this moment, in those three or four brightly lit rooms, not a single person's shadow was reflected in the doors and windows by the candlelight.

Therefore, Young Master Liu was unable to immediately discern which of the houses was occupied and which was unoccupied.

They can't even tell which room is occupied and which is empty.

As a result, he naturally couldn't figure out which room was the one where his sister-in-law, Gu Molanya, lived.

The closest room to him and Lan Ya, which was lit, was only about five or six steps away from the houses in front of him.

At such a short distance, if I and Lan Ya spoke even slightly louder, the people living in the room could hear everything.

He had no idea which of his beloved wives lived in that room.

Of course, that room could also be the room where his sister-in-law, Gu Molanya, lives.

However, Young Master Liu thought that such a possibility was relatively small.

After all, his wife had so many men, while Gu Molanya only had one.

Given the ratio of a group of people to one person, how could the room closest to him and Gu Mo Lan Ya be the room where Lan Ya lived?
To avoid any misunderstanding from the lady in that room, it would be safer for me and Gu Molanya to talk somewhere else.

However, what Young Master Liu didn't know was that he had completely misjudged the situation this time.

None of the three or four rooms with candlelight he was seeing were the rooms where his sister-in-law, Gu Molanya, lived.

The light in Gu Molanya's room had already been extinguished when she quietly came out of the room to wash the two pieces of her daughter's underwear.

As for why she blew out the candle in her room, the reason was naturally related to the two pieces of her daughter's underwear in the basin of water by the flower bed.

Normally, when she was washing her daughter's underwear, she never did what she did tonight: first blow out the candle in her own room, and then quietly slip out to wash her own underwear.

After all, the group of people living in the middle courtyard were all daughters like herself.

Since everyone in the group was a girl like herself, she naturally had nothing to hide when washing her underwear.

Sometimes, instead of hiding it, I would even chat and laugh with my sisters while washing their underwear!
On a normal day, she would have done the same thing as before: after bathing and washing up, she would have come out early in the morning to wash her own underwear with her sisters.

Unfortunately, the situation today is different from the past!
The reason why tonight's situation is different from usual is naturally because of the blush-inducing and heart-stirring noises I heard last night while half-asleep.

Similarly, it was precisely for this reason that I had to secretly wash my underwear tonight without the knowledge of my sisters.

Seeing that Young Master Liu was just turning his head back and forth, scanning the rooms in the courtyard, without answering her question, Gu Molanya frowned slightly, puzzled as to what her brother-in-law was looking at!

"Brother-in-law, what are you looking at?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi immediately withdrew his gaze, smiled, and gently tapped his brow twice with his hand.

"I didn't see anything, I just glanced at it casually."

Gu Molanya wasn't a brainless fool. Seeing Liu Shao's gesture of gently scratching his brow, she knew her brother-in-law wasn't telling her the truth. Nevertheless, she smiled faintly and nodded twice.

"Oh! Okay, I understand."

Liu Mingzhi opened his mouth and took a light breath, then pointed with his right hand to the pavilion not far away.

"Lan Ya, um, um, is it convenient for you to move over for a moment?"

When Gu Molan saw her brother-in-law suddenly raise his hand and point behind her, her heart tightened instantly. She quickly turned her fair and slender neck and looked in the direction that Young Master Liu was pointing.

When she saw that her brother-in-law was pointing towards the pavilion behind her, rather than the flower bed with the water basin, her slightly tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed.

Immediately, she calmly withdrew her gaze and smiled slightly, nodding gently to Young Master Liu.

"Brother-in-law, there's nothing inconvenient about it, let's go over there."

Upon hearing Gu Molan's reply, Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. He then skillfully filled his pipe with tobacco while heading straight for the pavilion not far away.

However, to get to the pavilion, you have to pass by the small flower bed in the courtyard.

Therefore, when Young Master Liu set off and walked straight out of the pavilion not far away, he was also heading straight for the flower bed in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Gu Molanya panicked and hurriedly ran after Young Master Liu.

"Brother-in-law!"

Liu Mingzhi heard his sister-in-law's soft voice suddenly behind him. He quickly stopped what he was about to do, and turned around to look at Gu Molanya with a puzzled expression.

"Huh? Lanya, what's wrong?"

Hearing her brother-in-law's questioning tone filled with confusion, Gu Molanya pretended to be calm and pointed to the water basin next to the flower bed with her fair and delicate finger.

"Brother-in-law, well, when I was washing my hands just now, I accidentally poured half a basin of water onto the open space next to the flower bed for convenience."

The spot a few steps ahead of you is where I poured water earlier.

Brother-in-law, to avoid slipping and falling, let's take a different route.

Upon hearing what Gu Molan said, Liu Mingzhi immediately turned his head and glanced at the area next to the water basin in front of him.

Immediately, he frowned slightly, looking puzzled.

"Lan Ya, did you just pour water on the ground?"

The courtyard was illuminated by both lantern light and moonlight, so why didn't I see any water reflecting off the ground in front of me, brother?

Upon hearing this, Gu Molanya's heart trembled slightly. Then, she forced herself to remain calm and hurriedly reached out her fair and flawless right hand to gently tug at the outer robe on Young Master Liu's body.

"Brother-in-law, the water may have seeped into the gaps between the floor tiles."

However, just to be on the safe side, let's go around to the other side of the flower bed.

Brother-in-law, you're made of gold! If you were to slip and fall on the water I spilled on the ground, I couldn't bear the responsibility!

Seeing that Gu Molan and Lan Ya had already said so, Liu Mingzhi could only nod happily.

"Hahaha, haha~ hahahahaha."

"Alright, Lan Ya, since you've put it that way, what can I say? Let's just go around in circles."
