Chapter 265 The oriole is behind
Qi Wuyou nodded hesitantly, accepting what the two said.
So without saying anything more, I went back to my room to rest.
As night fell, Qi Wuyou lay on the bed, his thoughts surging like the tide.
Although Xuan Yelan and Lu Yuqi's explanations were reasonable, just because she didn't ask further questions didn't mean she believed them.
However, since that person was not sent by Xuan Yelan, who was that mysterious person? Who sent him? What was his purpose?
Many questions lingered in her mind, making it difficult for her to fall asleep.
Qi Wuyou tossed and turned in bed, recalling what happened during the day.
The mysterious man's appearance was too abrupt, and he seemed to be fully aware of his actions.
Although they had been in Tongzhou for several days, Xuan Yelan had hardly ever gone out. Only she and An Ning were wandering around.
When Xuan Yemin left the imperial capital, An Ning was still a child. Logically, Xuan Yemin should not remember her.
As for Qi Wuyou herself, although she had lost some of her memory, she could be sure that the original owner had never left the Qi Palace.
Therefore, the person who was secretly monitoring them could not have been sent by Xuan Yemin.
So, could there be another force hiding in the dark?
This thought made Qi Wuyou feel very uneasy. She had no idea what the other party's purpose was.
As the saying goes: "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it." Could it be that they have unknowingly become the mantises that have become too proud of themselves?
In addition, there was another thing that confused Qi Wuyou.
He Xiang, also known as Ye San, was clearly going to assassinate Xuan Yemin.
Regardless of whether the operation was successful, why haven't they returned yet?
She tried to search her memory for clues, but found nothing.
The more Qi Wuyou thought about it, the more confused he became. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.
However, she had a dream.
In her dream, she saw the mysterious man again.
He stood in the darkness and couldn't see his face clearly, but Qi Wuyou could feel his eyes were fixed on her, and the look in his eyes looked strangely familiar.
She tried to move closer to him, but found herself unable to move.
At this moment, the mysterious man suddenly disappeared, leaving Qi Wuyou wandering alone in his dream...
Qi Wuyou suddenly sat up from the bed, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he muttered to himself: "What the hell is this? Why did I have such a strange dream?"
After coming to her senses, she couldn't help but curse herself: "I've lived too comfortably. Why do I act like a mouse meeting a cat when I encounter a situation?"
That night, Qi Wuyou suffered from insomnia, which was rare.
The next morning, the sunlight poured into the room through the window and shone on Qi Wuyou's face.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Mei Xue standing beside the bed, looking at her with concern.
Mei Xue asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong with you? You look so bad, are you sick? Do you want to ask a doctor to come and see you?"
Qi Wuyou rubbed his eyes, smiled, and comforted him: "I'm fine, I just read the storybook too late last night, and I was a little excited and couldn't sleep."
Mei Xue heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, but couldn't help complaining, "Miss, don't do this anymore. Staying up late is bad for your health. If you want to read the storybook, you can do it during the day."
Qi Wuyou nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I got it. I will pay attention next time."
However, when Mei Xue turned around to get her clothes, she found that the notebook on the table was still brand new and had never been opened.
She looked back at Qi Wuyou, only to see Qi Wuyou smiling awkwardly, as if he understood something.
Mei Xue sighed and shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself: It seems that the young lady must have been worried last night, which is why she couldn't sleep. But since she doesn't want to say it, let her adjust herself slowly.
Mei Xue nodded, then turned around to get a basin and towel, intending to help Qi Wuyou wash up first. After everything was ready, she brought the sumptuous breakfast into the room.
"Miss, the Third Master just sent someone to say that we are leaving." Mei Xue whispered to Qi Wuyou while setting the tableware.
Qi Wuyou reacted, and his brain, which had been shut down due to a sleepless night, finally started up.
Then she remembered that this Third Master referred to Xuan Yelan.
Qi Wuyou asked in surprise: "Leave? Where to?"
Mei Xue sighed softly and explained, "Miss, have you forgotten? Our current identity is the Tongzhou Yu family. We stayed here temporarily because the old house had not been repaired yet. Now that the old house has been repaired, it is natural for us to return to our own home."
Qi Wuyou suddenly understood, but still asked with some confusion: "So, Xuan Yelan bought a yard for the Yu family's old house?"
Mei Xue shook her head and replied, "No, that yard belongs to you, young lady."
After hearing this, Qi Wuyou was shocked and immediately understood the whole story. It turned out that Xuan Yelan had frequently come to Mei Xue in the past few days not just to deal with trivial matters, but to take her assets in Tongzhou!
Thinking of this, Qi Wuyou couldn't help but feel angry.
"So, he did come to Fengyi Palace to find you often during that period, just for my Tongzhou assets?" Qi Wuyou asked angrily.
Mei Xue nodded helplessly and said, "I mentioned this to you before, but you said at the time that as long as the Third Master needs it, he can take it at will without telling you."
Qi Wuyou did say this, but that was because Xuan Yelan came every few days, causing Mei Xue to run back and forth, so he said that.
Qi Wuyou sighed helplessly, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face, and asked softly: "When are you leaving?"
Mei Xue lowered her head slightly and replied calmly, "We will set off in an hour. Lian Xiang is already helping you pack your luggage."
Qi Wuyou nodded, lowered his head and continued eating.
That morning, they moved into the Yu family's old house in Tongzhou.
After Qi Wuyou stepped into the gate, he looked up and down at this ancient and solemn mansion.
The house covers a large area and the surrounding environment is quiet and peaceful, with green trees and lush flowers and plants, giving people a fresh and pleasant feeling.
The entire building is magnificent, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, demonstrating the noble status of the owner at that time.
Walking into the house, the spacious and bright hall is decorated elegantly and exquisitely, and the furniture is arranged neatly and orderly, obviously it has been carefully maintained.
Exquisite calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, adding a touch of cultural atmosphere.
Qi Wuyou couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although the old house of the Yu family was a bit old, it revealed a charm of historical sedimentation, as if telling the glory and honor of the past.
Qi Wuyou carefully observed every detail and found that this old house had obvious signs of renovation.
However, despite the careful restoration, the old house still exudes a faint old-fashioned atmosphere, making it impossible to ignore its vicissitudes of history.
This is exactly the effect Xuan Yelan wanted.
