After we broke up, a big boss in the Beijing circle kidnapped me to get my certificate.

Chapter 23 Stifling to Death

After a while, Qiao Wan'er returned to Yang Lan's side and said flatteringly: "Mother Ye, don't be angry. It's because I didn't think carefully. I'd better arrange it according to the list you made. I'll talk to my father when I get back. There must be a solution."

Yang Lan glanced at Qiao Wan'er coldly and said softly: "According to the rules of the Ye family, the man is the main party at wedding banquets. If it weren't for your Qiao family insisting on hosting the engagement banquet together, we wouldn't have done it now. It has to be so embarrassing.”

Qiao Wan'er really couldn't answer the words. She bit her lip and didn't dare to say another word. She could only look at Ye Zehong for help, hoping that he could step down.

She didn't want to offend her future mother-in-law before she even entered the Ye family.

Ye Zehong stood up and said calmly: "It's up to you to decide. I'll go work first." He opened his long legs and strode away.

"Zehong...you..."

Qiao Waner called out and lowered her head in disappointment.

……

Lu Yao handed over all 32 pearls to Qiao Waner, expecting to be challenged again. Unexpectedly, Qiao Waner was so uninterested that she didn't even look at her.

Just escaped safely.

She was in a good mood, humming a little tune and came to the auditorium to continue folding the Pegasus.

The servant Xia Cui studied very seriously and was very talented. After only two instructions, she had completely mastered the trick of folding the Pegasus. The two of them worked together and completed one-third of the task in half a day.

Lu Yao looked around to make sure there was no one else, then asked in a low voice: "Cui Cui, do you know where the lunatic who haunts the garden lives?"

Xia Cui paused and asked, "Madman?...You mean my aunt?"

Lu Yao nodded.

Xia Cui shook her head: "I have never met my uncle in all this time. I don't know where he lives."

"What is it said?"

"Nothing is said."

Lu Yao pursed her lips and said without giving up, "Think about it again."

Xia Cui quickly rolled her eyes and thought for a while before remembering something: "It is said that there is a two-story wooden house behind the bamboo garden. No one except the eldest lady and madam is allowed to enter." Lu Yao thought for a long time and decided Let's go check it out again tonight.

Three hours later, outside the bamboo garden wall.

Lu Yao relied on last night's experience. Not only did she easily evade the patrol this time, but she also found a safe corner and sneaked into the bamboo garden to avoid being attacked by poisonous mosquitoes again.

She did not enter the main building, but walked directly across the bridge from the side path to the vicinity of the wooden house.

The lights were on in the wooden house, and a man with slightly longer hair could be vaguely seen sitting at his desk in the room on the second floor.

By the moonlight, she cautiously came to the first floor of the wooden house, as if she knew someone was coming, and the door was wide open.

Lu Yao did not dare to take it lightly. She hid at the door and observed the movement upstairs for a few minutes. After making sure it was safe, she quietly walked into the first floor and started rummaging around.

There is nothing extra in the living room on the first floor except simple daily necessities.

She could only bravely push open the door to the room on the first floor.

The window of the room was open, and the faint moonlight shone through the window and fell on the ink paintings hanging on the wall.

In the painting, a black koi and a red koi swim in circles facing each other. The painting style and brushstrokes did not require a closer look, but she could tell at a glance that the painting was painted by her mother.

She thought about it and when she stepped forward to take down the painting and take it away, a figure rushed towards her. Before she could escape, her neck was pinched hard.

Under the moonlight, she saw the murderous look in the other person's eyes that a normal person would have.

Sure enough, he was pretending to be crazy!

"Ahem...you...are not crazy..."

The man was stunned for a moment, then used both hands to strangle her to death with all his strength.

"Cough...cough...let go...me..."
