Chapter 164 Going to see Si Rongxue

After Caixia finished the flower arrangement, it was already a stick of incense, and she came to De Ling's courtyard. She looked at this exquisite courtyard, and she sighed, this is the courtyard where the old lady of Yuanmen lives?

"Stop! Who are you?" The two maids guarding the far gate saw Caixia going into the courtyard and immediately stopped her.

Caixia was startled when she heard the maid's scolding, she looked at the two maids in fear, and said aloud, "Sister Yuan Ning asked me to bring the flower arrangement."

When the two maids heard Caixia's words, they all cast their eyes on the flowers in Caixia's hands, and then one maid said to the other maids, "Where's Yuan Ning?"

"Didn't she go out just now? It seems that she went to the kitchen, and she probably didn't come back so soon!" said the maid.

The other maid nodded and said to Caixia: "You wait here for a while!"

"Yes!" Caixia nodded when she heard the maid's words, and stood waiting at the courtyard gate. Maid, their expressions didn't change a bit.

Caixia muttered in her heart, these two maids are not simple!

"Caixia, are you ready?" Yuan Ning came over with a food box in her hand, and asked aloud when she saw Caixia standing at the courtyard gate.

Caixia heard Yuan Ning's voice, turned her head, saw Yuan Ning, she grinned and said, "Sister Yuan Ning!"

"En!" Yuan Ning cast her eyes on the flower arrangement in Caixia's hand, nodded, and said, "Not bad! It's much prettier than what I made!" After she finished speaking, she said to the two maids standing at the door: "I It's inconvenient to carry things, can she go in with me? I'll send her out in a while."

One of the maids nodded when she heard Caixia's words, and said, "Go in, don't waste time!"

"Thank you, I'll go to the kitchen later and see something delicious, and I'll bring it to you!" Yuan Ning said to the two with a smile.

When the two maids heard Yuan Ning's words, they all twitched their mouths.

Caixia followed Yuan Ning into the yard, and as soon as she entered, she was immediately attracted by the exquisite rockery and flowing water inside. Yuan Ning looked at Caixia's eyes looking around, and reminded: "Don't aim randomly, or you will be seen by others." , break the rules, I can't even save you!"

When Caixia heard Yuan Ning's words, she was so frightened that she no longer dared to look around, and followed Yuan Ning respectfully.

"Yuan Ning, who is she talking about? Why did you bring people here?" Caixia followed Yuan Ning to the pavilion, before she could see the scene in front of her, she heard a maid sternly yelling at Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning said to her with a smile: "Sister Yuan Xiao, she is the granddaughter of Mr. Xu. I was rushing to the kitchen just now and asked her to help with the flower arrangement. Look, she is very good at it! I am holding it in one hand now." The food box is really inconvenient, so I asked her to bring it in for me."

"You, you! How could you break the rules and send her out quickly!" The maidservant's cold expression didn't decrease a bit when she heard Yuan Ning's explanation.

Seeing her like this, Yuan Ning didn't dare to joke anymore, nodded, handed the food box to her, and said, "Okay, I'll take her out, sister Yuan Xiao, don't be angry!"

Yuan Xiao nodded, but he didn't expect that Yuan Ning hadn't gone down to the attic with Caixia, only to see De Ling in a blue-colored bottomed ink white butterfly wearing a patterned intertwined silk gauze shirt and a lotus-colored vase-patterned phoenix skirt that stretched across the floor. Surrounded by the maidservants, she went up to the attic, her expression suddenly changed.

Yuan Ning also didn't expect that Deling would go to the attic at this time. Usually, she would take a nap in the room at this time, and she was so frightened that she immediately pulled Caixia, who was sluggish, to kneel on the ground.

"Greetings, old lady!" Everyone greeted Deling.

De Ling gave a faint "hmm", and her eyes fell on the flower arrangement on the ground. The flower arrangement was different from the ones she had seen in normal times. It was made of bamboo and rattan into flower pots, and the bright red flowers were inserted in different places, forming a The shape of the crescent moon is really good.

"Who made this flower arrangement?" Deling asked in a faint voice.

Yuan Ning pulled Caixia, who was sluggish beside her, to ask her to answer.

"Back... back to the old lady, it's... a slave." Caixia replied to De Ling with a trembling voice.

Hearing Caixia's words, De Ling cast his eyes on her, and said immediately: "You are not a maid in the yard."

"Yes... the servants are servants who work in the flower garden." Caixia bit the bullet and replied.

"Oh?" Deling raised her eyebrows. Her son didn't allow her to leave the yard, nor did she allow her to contact the servants outside the yard. How could this girl appear here?
"How did you get in?" Deling asked.

"Servant... slave..." Caixia's tongue was tied up, not knowing what to say.

Yuan Ning, who was on the side, saw Caixia's appearance, and immediately spoke for her: "Go back to the old lady, it was the servant who brought her in. It was inconvenient for the servant to take it just now, so I asked Caixia to help bring it in. The servant should not Lazy, please punish the old lady!"

"Caixia..." De Ling heard Yuan Ning's words, but remembered Caixia's name. A light flashed in her eyes, and said to Caixia in front of her: "Look up, let me see!"

Caixia heard De Ling's order, raised her head, and looked at the extremely well-maintained De Ling in front of her, she admired in her heart, "This is the mother of the Yuan family, she is really bright, dignified and graceful!"

De Ling looked at Caixia in front of her, a pretty girl, but her eyes really looked like a girl, her eyes shrank suddenly, and then the smile on her mouth deepened, Looking at her, he said, "How about you serving me by my side?"

When Caixia heard De Ling's words, her eyes widened suddenly, she looked at De Ling in disbelief, and then said: "Old lady, slave... can slave serve by your side?"

"Old lady, no! This matter has to be reported to the head!" Yuan Xiao who was on the side stopped De Ling's plan.

De Ling's expression sank when he heard Yuan Xiao's words, "Presumptuous!"

When Yuan Xiao heard De Ling's scolding, she knelt on the ground, but her body was still straight and she said: "The master said, you can't let random people serve the old lady, otherwise you will kill the servant, Please don't make things difficult for the servants, old lady!"

When Caixia heard the casualness in Yuan Xiao's words, her eye circles turned red, she is not a casual woman!

De Ling looked at the humiliated Caixia from the corner of his eyes, and a cold light appeared on his face, and he said to Yuan Xiao: "It's rare for me to fall in love with a maid who is pleasing to the eye, so why not? Okay, I don't feel embarrassed." You, go and report this matter to Yuan Bohan and see if he agrees!"

Yuan Xiao heard De Ling's words, and said respectfully: "Yes, this servant is reporting to the master!"

"En." Hearing Yuan Xiao's words, De Ling responded lightly.

At this time, Yuan Bohan took Huo Zhirou to the most remote northwest of Yuanmen in a small oil truck. Huo Zhirou lifted the curtains of the car and looked outside. She frowned and said, "This is where?"

"This is the secret door of Yuanmen!" Yuan Bohan said to Huo Zhirou.

"Secret door?" Hearing Yuan Bohan's words, Huo Zhirou said in astonishment: "Is that the place where Yuanmen's secret guards are trained?"

"En." Yuan Bohan nodded.

Huo Zhirou frowned when he heard Yuan Bohan's affirmative answer, looked at him and said, "Aren't you afraid that someone will find out if you brought me here?"

Yuan Bohan heard Huo Zhirou's worried words, smiled lightly, and said, "Don't worry, without my promise, no one would dare to follow us."

"Really?" Hearing Yuan Bohan's words, Huo Zhirou looked at him uncertainly.

Seeing Huo Zhirou's still suspicious look, Yuan Bohan couldn't laugh or cry. He lightly scratched the tip of Huo Zhirou's nose with his fingers, and said again with certainty: "Really! I didn't lie to you!"

"Master, you can come down!" The voice of the vowel sounded outside,
Hearing Yuan Yin's words, Yuan Bohan lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage first, and then helped Huo Zhirou who was on the carriage to get off.

After getting off the carriage, Huo Zhirou found out that there were overgrown weeds here, some of which were taller than people, and there was no sound of birds around, it seemed a little quiet and weird.

"Are you afraid?" Yuan Bohan looked at Huo Zhirou seriously and asked.

Huo Zhirou heard Yuan Bohan's words, looked at him with a smile and said, "With you by my side, I'm not afraid!"

When Yuan Bohan heard Huo Zhirou's words, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said to her: "Rou'er, there is one thing I must tell you, once you enter that place, it will make ordinary people Feeling scared, if you are scared, I can take you away now."

"I'm afraid?" Huo Zhirou asked in surprise when he heard Yuan Bohan's words.

Yuan Bohan nodded, and said: "I'm afraid, it can be said to be very bloody, I'm afraid you will be afraid."

Seeing Yuan Bohan's serious appearance, Huo Zhirou suddenly smiled slightly, and then said: "I have never seen a horrible and bloody scene in the world in my life, take me there, let me practice my courage!"

"Really?" Looking at the smile on Huo Zhirou's face, Yuan Bohan couldn't maintain the serious expression on his face anymore.

Huo Zhirou nodded, "It's true, take me there, I'm eager to know what happened to Si Rongxue in this place."

"Okay!" Yuan Bohan heard Huo Zhirou's tone so sure, he didn't say anything, and hugged her horizontally.

"Why are you hugging me?" Huo Zhirou was frightened by Yuan Bohan's actions and hugged him around his neck.

Yuan Bohan looked at the person in his arms with a smile, and said to her with a smile: "Don't move, the ground below is too dirty, I'll just carry you over there, so as not to stain your embroidered shoes."

When Huo Zhirou heard Yuan Bohan's words, he smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Okay!"

Yuan Bohan hugged Huo Zhirou all the way to the secret door. The hidden guards hiding nearby saw his master's actions, and Qi Qi's eyes widened. The master really treats Miss Huo very well. It's like putting people on the tip of my heart and doting on them, not even letting them go, just hugging them directly.

Yuan Bohan's move once again refreshed the dark guard's thoughts on Huo Zhirou, and further strengthened his belief that Huo Zhirou was their future mistress.

Yuan Bohan hugged Huo Zhirou and stepped into the extremely cold and bloody secret door of the Yuanmen Gate. Huo Zhirou scanned the surroundings. Fortunately, Yuan Bohan put a cloak on her just now, otherwise she would have been caught in the shadows here. The air made trembling.

As Yuan Bohan said, the air was filled with the smell of blood, which made Huo Zhirou sneezed with some discomfort.
