Chapter 64 No.60 Three Encounters
Behind the rockery, ants lined up in a long line at the entrance of the cave.

Qiao Yuan held a branch and drew a line in the middle with evil intentions. The ants here fell into the ditch and started to circle around anxiously.

The green skirt is spread on the gravel ground, and the sunlight penetrates through the gaps in the branches, creating a delicate and charming flower shadow.

The dispute outside continued.

"Chanjuan, you are just an adopted daughter of our family. If my family hadn't been kind enough to take you in, you would have starved to death, and you still had the guts to quarrel with me."

Behind is a female voice.

It seems that there was a quarrel between the sisters in the house.

Qiao Yuan propped his snowy cheeks depressedly.

She originally wanted to sneak behind the rockery to hide in peace, but she didn't expect to encounter such a scene. Now it's impossible to go out.

The beauty sighed faintly.

The guards in the convoy were all controlled by the people led by Zhang Mao, and no one went back to report the news. Qi Cun didn't know when he would find out that she was missing.

Maybe he is now so focused on the case that he has forgotten about her.

Qiao Yuan was so angry that he grabbed the weeds on the ground.

I don't know when I should understand, and when it's not the right time, my mind is very active, and I use it all on those trivial matters.

When Qiao Yuan came to her senses, there was no sound outside.

Finally gone.

Qiao Yuan rubbed her numb calves and stood up holding the stone wall. Unexpectedly, as soon as she stuck her head out, she met the eyes of a woman.

Qiao Yuan: "...I didn't eavesdrop on you on purpose."

She came earlier than them, but she was trapped in the rockery and forced to listen to a corner.

The woman smiled and didn't seem to mind: "Girl, come out quickly. There are a lot of vegetation over there. Although there are few mosquitoes at this time of year, it is not without them."

Qiao Yuan was so frightened that she stood up quickly, but when she came to the end, she was in trouble.

When I climbed up just now, I just thought it was fun, but now that I'm about to go down, I feel that the rockery is a bit high.

The woman seemed to be aware of her dilemma. She took a few steps forward and stretched out her hand: "I'll help you."

After hesitating for a while, a small hand cautiously protruded from the wide soft sleeve. The five fingers were slender, the nails were trimmed and rounded, and the fingertips were covered with thin powder.

Qiao Yuan tentatively put his hand on hers. Unlike his own hand, which was weak and weak, this woman's hand was very steady.

Chanjuan held the soft and boneless Rouyi and raised the corners of her lips.

Qiao Yuan climbed down from the rockery step by step with the help of kind people.

The wide sleeves like water brushed over the uneven stone surface little by little, and the dead things glowing with cold light seemed to have a touch of softness.

The embroidered shoes decorated with pearls stepped on the recesses of the stone wall. The hard blue and black stone wall made the towering and trembling posture become more and more delicate, like a small white flower growing on the cliff.

Ah, look what she caught, a delicate and frail little beauty separated from the guardian beast.

Qiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief as the uppers of her shoes touched the solid ground. The fair-skinned beauty thanked her very politely: "Thank you, girl."

Chanjuan smiled: "It's easy."

There was a red finger mark on half of her pretty face, probably from being beaten just now.

Qiao Yuan is not a person who likes to inquire, so he only glanced at it briefly, and quickly looked away.

But Chanjuan noticed her gaze and touched her face: "It was my cousin Zhang Caihe just now, the eldest lady of the family. I always have a bit of trouble when I live under the fence."

Her demeanor was not embarrassing, but a little peaceful.

Qiao Yuan couldn't help but look at her, and with this look, she felt a bit familiar.

Chanjuan was also a little surprised: "Girl, have we met somewhere?"

She thought for a while, "Yes, before I arrived in Gongzhou, I was in a forest, and I still wanted to take your car."

When Qiao Yuan was mentioned by her, she also remembered it.

On the night when I met the assassin, a woman did appear, saying that she was going to Gongzhou to visit relatives, separated from the servants, and wanted them to take a ride, but was sent away by Qi Cun on the grounds of being suspicious.

Chanjuan didn't seem to mind the rejection, and there was no grudge on her face: "It seems that we are indeed destined."

Qiao Yuan's face felt hot. No matter what, it was always a bit embarrassing to meet him here.

A slight blush appeared on her snow-white face, and her watery eyes were more magnificent than the sunset on the horizon.

Chanjuan chuckled: "Zhang Zuoling is my uncle. I grew up here since I was a child, both of my parents died. I was out on errands and met you when I came back."

She asked curiously: "Why are you here? Could it be that you are the one who is said to live in Qinyuan?"

Who in the house doesn't know that Zhang Zuoling brought back a charming guest a few days ago and placed him in Qinyuan, where he had better food and clothing than Miss Yiying.

Qiao Yuan thought to herself, how could she be here, she was kidnapped.

But when she met this person by chance, she wouldn't just explain her details casually and prevaricate.

When Qiao Yuan returned to the yard, as expected, a steward came soon after.

The steward's face was respectful, but his tone was incontrovertible: "The leader has orders. If Madam has any orders, I can hand them over to my subordinates. It's better not to leave this yard in the future."

Zhang Zuoling wanted to keep her in his hands as a handle, so naturally he couldn't allow a little mistake.

The steward ordered his servants to close the door, through the crack of the door, one could faintly see the walking guards.

Qiao Yuan glanced at him lightly, then turned and went back to the house.

Inside the kitchenette.

A person who looked like a big maid walked in: "Why isn't the lotus root powder ball that Miss asked for?"

The cook hurried up to meet him and said with a smile: "Excuse me, miss, please wait a moment, we are starting to cook the pot."

Hearing this, Yin Ling looked displeased: "Miss sent a message two-quarters of an hour ago. Why are you starting to stir up trouble now? Maybe you are an old woman who is cheating."

The cook hurriedly explained: "Young lady, you have wronged me. It was the man from Qinyuan who ordered the water chestnut cake. The master had previously ordered that the distinguished guest should be given priority."

A few days ago, a guest stayed in Zuoling Mansion. I only know that she is a woman. The master did not say her identity, but he just told her not to neglect her.

Yinling is the eldest lady Zhang Caihe's side maid, she has a high status in the mansion, and this is the first time she has been humiliated like this.

"A woman of unknown origin is treated like a treasure by you. Maybe the master kept her outside and brought her in for a name."

The cook didn't dare to answer the question.

If it really came in from outside, Mrs. Zhang might be the first one to make a move. Didn't you see that Mrs. Zhang dare not comment on the master's order now?

Seeing her dull look, Yin Ling became even more angry: "Why don't you hurry up and bring the lotus root starch dumplings."

When she returned to the residence with the food box, Zhang Caihe was washing up in the mirror through the screen. When she heard the movement, she glanced at it: "Why did you just bring it here now?"

Yinling repeated what the cook said, feeling aggrieved: "The people in the small kitchen have no eyesight, so they dare to rank Qinyuan ahead of you."

Zhang Caihe closed the powder box with a snap and frowned irritably.

Now everyone in the house is curious about the people in Qinyuan.

Zhang Caihe asked her mother, and her mother was always vague every time, so she just told her to stay away from that side.

She is a serious young lady, but in her own family, she is a head shorter than others.

Playing tricks, she wanted to see if it was a human or a ghost.

Zhang Caihe's eyes flashed: "Yin Ling, is the eldest brother coming back?"
