Chapter 185 Looking for Feng Ling
When Yuan Bohan heard Huo Zhirou's words, he cast admiring eyes on her, this girl is really smart.

Yuan Bohan continued: "I got the news that many people tried to break into Huo's house in the middle of the night during this period of time. Fortunately, I had people around Huo's house to protect them. Unfortunately, Xiaoxiao who was caught committed suicide. But today, We caught a guy, but unfortunately, this guy is stubborn, no matter how tortured he is, he refuses to reveal their purpose."

When Yuan Bohan said this, his brows and eyes were full of hostility, these hidden guards really had a hard mouth!
Huo Zhirou pursed her lips tightly when she heard this, and after a long time, she said: "If Fengling can be exchanged for my brother's safety, I will give it up, but unfortunately, I don't even know where Fengling is. "

When Huo Zhirou said this, he rubbed his sore brows, and said to Yuan Bohan: "Bohan, how could such a thing happen to the Huo family? I don't even know what Feng Ling is! Take it out?"

Looking at Huo Zhirou's distressed look, Yuan Bohan gently smoothed her frowning brows, "Okay, don't think about it, it's getting late, I'll take you back to the room to rest."

Hearing Yuan Bohan's words, Huo Zhirou sighed softly and nodded.

"By the way, there is one more thing!" Yuan Bohan suddenly remembered something, and said to Huo Zhirou: "Recently I have been in contact with the Ji family."

"Ji's family? What happened?" Huo Zhirou's curiosity doubled when she heard this. A few months ago, before she went to Hangzhou to attend the Yuanmen Conference, Mrs. Ji asked her to take Pan Nianqiao to Hangzhou together. After being rejected by her, they broke up badly. Later, Pan Nianqiao pretended to be her and checked into the inn. She almost forgot about it.

"Bohan, I suddenly remembered something." Huo Zhirou frowned deeply.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Bohan looked at Huo Zhirou's expression, stroked her brow with his hand, and said, "Don't frown, you'll look like a little old man if you frown again."

Huo Zhirou was helpless, why did this guy get here, and then said: "Do you still remember what happened at the Yuanmen meeting? At that time, it was the Patriarch of the Pan family who recognized the gunpowder towards you that caused the chaos, and Mrs. Ji was It's the daughter of the Pan family, tell me, does the Ji family have anything to do with the imperial court?"

When Yuan Bohan heard this, a flash of light flashed across his eyes, yes, he almost forgot about this matter, it seems that he has to send someone to investigate this matter, perhaps, the Ji family has long been members of the imperial court, and their allegiance It's not Si Haoran, maybe someone else is also possible!
The corners of Yuan Bohan's mouth curled up, and he gave Huo Zhirou an appreciative smile, boasting: "Rou'er, you are really my blessing."

Huo Zhirou laughed when she heard this, what kind of gospel is she!

"Since you also know that the Ji family is not easy, you should avoid contact with the Ji family. I heard that you and Ji Qingrun have a good relationship, so you should take precautions." Yuan Bohan warned seriously.

Huo Zhirou nodded upon hearing Yuan Bohan's words, "I see."

One night, Huo Zhirou couldn't sleep well thinking about Feng Ling. The next day, she woke up tired. Seeing Huo Zhirou's appearance, Yuan Yin said, "Miss Huo, what's wrong? ?”

Huo Zhirou shook his head, and said to the vowel: "No, I'm thinking about something, so I can't sleep well."

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Yuan Yin thought it was Huo Jiancheng's business, and said to Huo Zhirou: "Miss Huo, don't worry, Mr. Huo is a lucky man, and nothing will happen."

"En." Huo Zhirou answered with a gloomy face when he heard the words of the vowel.

"The master went out early in the morning, so Miss Huo doesn't have to wait for him to come back for dinner today." Yuan Yin said as she dressed Huo Zhirou.

Huo Zhirou knew that Yuan Bohan was running around for her Huo family's affairs, she couldn't help her, she had to wait for Yuan Bohan to come back for dinner before eating, Huo Zhirou didn't intend to say this, lest Yuan Yin sent a message to Yuan Bohan, which delayed his affairs.

After Huo Zhirou finished his breakfast, he called Butler Cao over.

"Uncle Cao, do you remember what your grandmother left behind?" Huo Zhirou asked aloud.

"The old lady's?" Uncle Cao was taken aback when he heard Huo Zhirou's question. She didn't expect that Huo Zhirou was asking about the old lady. They are all kept in the warehouse, and have been well preserved, Miss, why did you suddenly ask about this matter?"

"Suddenly wanted to find something." Huo Zhirou didn't want to talk too much with Steward Cao, so as not to worry him too. Since grandma's things were locked in the warehouse, she went to look for them later.

"Uncle Cao, go get busy first. By the way, give me the key to the warehouse. I'll look for it later."

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Housekeeper Cao said dumbfoundedly: "Miss, this warehouse has not been cleaned for a long time, and it is very dusty inside. If you are looking for something, tell this old slave, and this old slave will send someone to look for it."

"No, no, no!" Huo Zhirou waved his hand, and said to Steward Cao, "I'm fine anyway, I'll just go find it myself."

When Uncle Cao heard Huo Zhirou's words, he no longer tried to persuade him, but only said: "Miss, you have to be careful, so as not to hurt yourself."

"En." Huo Zhirou nodded.

Holding the key, Huo Zhirou walked towards the warehouse with a vowel, and after signaling the servants guarding the warehouse to retreat, she carefully opened the door of the warehouse.

The vowel at the side watched Huo Zhirou grope for the keyhole, and then said: "Miss Huo, let this servant help you, this lock probably hasn't been opened for a long time, it's a bit difficult to open."

Huo Zhirou heard Yuanyin's words, nodded, and asked Yuanyin to try it. This lock is too difficult to open. It is estimated that it has been more than ten years since he opened this lock.

Huo Zhirou, who was standing aside, watched Yuanyin tampering with the lock, and then said jokingly to Yuanyin: "Yuanyin, tell me, don't we look like thieves?"

vowel:"……"

After a while, Yuan Yin looked at Huo Zhirou helplessly, and said, "Miss Huo, how can you be as stupid as us when talking about thieves, and haven't opened this lock for so long."

"That's right!" Huo Zhirou nodded when he heard the words of the vowel.Just as she finished speaking, she only heard a "click", she looked at the opened lock in surprise, and said to the vowel: "Open!"

Pushing open the warehouse door, there was a burst of dust, "Ahem!"

Huo Rou covered her nose with one hand, and waved the dust in front of her with the other.

Yuan Yin looked expressionlessly at the huge warehouse full of dust, where boxes were placed one by one, and no one had come in for a long time, not only on the boxes, but also on the ground was thick with drowsiness.

"Miss Huo, why don't the servants come to look for you? Do you want to wait outside?" Yuan Yin learned that the purpose of Huo Zhirou's coming to the warehouse today was to find Feng Ling. In such an environment, he must be dirty after a while.

Huo Zhirou shook his head when he heard the words of the vowel, and said: "Two people, find it faster, we will finish the search in a while, and we need to ask someone to come over and clean it, hurry up, finding that thing now is the most important thing. "

Yuan Yin nodded when she heard Huo Zhirou's words.

The two were rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the warehouse. After a while, both of their clothes were covered with dust. Huo Zhirou said helplessly while searching: "I guess since grandma passed away, grandpa has asked people to seal up grandma's things. Here, my grandfather would feel sad every time he saw something belonging to my grandmother, and over time, very few people came here."

After hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Yuan Yin gave a "hmm" and said: "A lot of things are scrolls, which should be taken away by the old lady when she and her family returned to the south of the Yangtze River from the capital. Many of these scrolls are priceless. thing."

Huo Zhirou heard the words of the vowel, and thought of what Yuan Bohan said last night, her great-grandfather was in the position of Taifu, and his family background must be unusual. If the former prince had not passed away, he might be the current emperor. With Empress Lan's attention, the future must be even more brilliant, but unfortunately, the world is unpredictable.

"Many books are lonely books. I'll take a few out to read later." Huo Zhirou opened a box, looked at the full box of books, and exclaimed in admiration.

"The slave girl, can I have some books on medical skills?" Yuan Yin found some books on healing, and asked Huo Zhirou with bright eyes.

When Huo Zhirou heard the words of the vowel, he waved his hand and said to her, "Of course! Take it!"

Vowel nodded, "Thank you, Miss Huo!"

"Let's continue looking for things." Huo Zhirou rummaged through the box.

The vowel didn't say any more, and the two of them got busy in the warehouse...

An hour later, Huo Zhirou thumped her sore shoulders wearily. At this time, her face was covered with black marks, and even her clothes were gray. She looked around the warehouse helplessly, and looked at The vowel said: "There is no Phoenix order."

Vowel nodded, "This Feng Ling is probably not in the Huo family."

Huo Zhirou heard the words of the vowel, smiled wryly, shook his head, and said, "It's a pity that no one believes that Feng Ling is not in Huo's house."

"Miss Huo, let's go out first." Yuan Yin felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time.

Huo Zhirou let out an "um", and left the warehouse with regret. When she left, she and Yuan Yin were holding the selected books in their hands.

Back in his own yard, when the servants in the yard saw Huo Zhirou's dirty appearance, they were shocked.

"Miss, where did you and Miss Yuanyin go? Why did you come back so dirty?" a maid asked in surprise.

Huo Zhirou waved his hands and said impatiently: "Okay, don't ask too much, go and prepare water, Yuan Yin and I want to take a bath."

When the servant girl heard Huo Zhirou's order, she didn't dare to ask any more, she said "yes" and immediately went down to ask for water.

Wash off all the dust on her body quickly, Huo Zhirou was about to pick up a book she picked up from the warehouse to read, but before she opened it, a maid walked in quickly.

After saluting to Huo Zhirou, she said to Huo Zhirou: "Miss, Miss Ji heard that you are back, so she specially sent someone to send a post, inviting you to visit her house."

After the maid finished speaking, she respectfully sent the post.

Huo Zhirou looked at the invitation card with lotus flowers, opened it, and remembered what Yuan Bohan said to her, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, she closed the card, threw it aside, and said to the maid in front of her: " You go and tell the people who came over from Ji's mansion that I'm not free recently, so I can't go to Ji's mansion."

"Yes!" Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, the maid exited the room respectfully.

"Wait!" Huo Zhirou called to stop the leaving maid, "From now on, the invitations sent by the Ji family don't need to be delivered to me, and will be handed over to Steward Cao."

"Your servant understands!" Although the servant girl was surprised, as servants, they should not inquire about the master's affairs, not to mention that too many things have happened in the Huo family recently, if they know too much, their lives will be in danger.

Huo Zhirou didn't expect that Ji Qingrun would find her instead of going to Ji's mansion...
