Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 135 Everyone has their own agenda
Yan Ci Wan wanted to find out the truth and stop the real murderer from burning down the villa. She originally thought that the biggest challenge would be how to find the mysterious murderer hiding in the dark.

It was not until then that she realized she was wrong.

It turns out that the biggest obstacle in front of her is not the real culprit behind the scenes, but the people in front of her with ulterior motives.

Presumably the murderer had anticipated this result, so he deliberately left the note, which was both a warning and a mockery from the murderer.

Yan Ciwan looked around at everyone quietly.

Maybe the murderer is at the scene right now, and she is being watched by the murderer. The murderer knows that she is innocent and understands how much she wants to find out the truth, but unfortunately, no one present appreciates her kindness.

Xiao Wang stood side by side with Yan Ci Wan. He proved with his actions that he and Yan Ci Wan were in the same camp. No matter how others viewed Yan Ci Wan, he would insist on protecting Yan Ci Wan.

As the atmosphere became tense, the chief of the Grand Chamber, Si Buping, finally spoke.

"Since everyone suspects Ning Ci, then I will move her to Yufeng Hall and let me take care of her personally. This way, everyone should be able to rest assured, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Wangshan immediately smiled and said, "It would be great if the Grand Master is willing to take the trouble to personally look after Ning Ci."

The other guests also echoed his words.

Xiao Wang's heart sank to the bottom. He suspected Si Buping was trying to take the opportunity to get close to Yan Ciwan and do something bad to her.

He said in a deep voice: "Since you want to take care of me, then take care of me as well."

Chaolu immediately echoed, "Me too!"

Yan Ciwan looked at the two of them and was quite moved. She was so lucky to have such loyal friends.

She whispered, "You don't have to do this."

It would be fine if only she was imprisoned, but there was really no need for the two of them to jump into the trap. This would only put the three of them in a passive situation, which would not be of any benefit to the overall situation.

Chaolu was very determined: "We are friends. No matter what happens, we must advance and retreat together!"

Xiao Wang didn't say anything, but from his expression, it could be seen that he had the same idea as Chao Lu.

Chu Wangshan wanted to do Xiao Wang a favor, so he advised him, "Xiao Liulang, I believe you are innocent. You don't need to wrong yourself like this."

"Didn't Feng Wu just say that I was the last person to see Huang Yefei yesterday? This shows that I am indeed a big suspect. To prove my innocence, I voluntarily accept custody."

Chu Wangshan was helpless and sighed: "Why bother?"

Lian Zhuifang looked straight at Xiao Wang and smiled: "Xiao Liulang is not only from a good family and good-looking, but also very sentimental. He is truly a good husband with both inner and outer qualities!"

Although she is over 30 years old, she is still graceful, especially when she smiles, there is an indescribable charm in her.

But Xiao Wang didn't even look at her and spoke directly to Si Buping.

"Aci, Chao Erniang and I need to go back and pack our things first."

Lian Zhuifang was disappointed and the smile on her face faded. She snorted to express her disdain for a hypocrite like Xiao Wang.

Si Buping called over an inner guard and said, "Fubai, follow them back to Shaoguangyuan."

The inner guard named Fu Bai bowed his head and clasped his fists: "Yes."

Yan Ciwan, Xiao Wang and Chaolu left Ruixue Tower, and Fubai followed behind.

After they left, Si Buping also prepared to get up and leave.

Lian Zhuifang suddenly said, "Looking at the snow outside, it will probably continue to snow for several days. My brother and I have nothing to do anyway, so we plan to rehearse puppetry in Guanhai Pavilion tomorrow morning. If the Grand Master is free, please come and watch."

Si Buping took the opportunity to look at Lian Zhuifang, and seeing her rosy red lips and charming smile, he nodded slightly.

"Yeah, I'll go check it out."

Lian Zhuifang bowed to him, her voice sticky and seductive: "Then we will respectfully await the arrival of the Grand Master." As soon as Si Buping left, Sun Hu glared at Lian Zhuifang and said angrily: "My Ah Fei's body is still warm, and you are setting up a stage to perform and have fun. You are such a heartless person!"

Lian Zhuifang sneered, "I don't even know your Ah Fei, so what does it have to do with me whether he's dead or alive? You're such a bossy person. My brother and I make a living by performing puppet shows. We can't stop eating just because someone in your family died, right?!"

Sun Hu was so angry that he was rebuked, but Lian Zhuifang no longer had the heart to argue with him.

Lian Zhuifang turned her head to look at Lian Bantian beside her and said with a smile.

"Brother, we should go back."

Lian Bantian said, "You go back first. I have something to discuss with Master Chu."

At this point, he looked at Chu Wangshan, who was sitting at the head of the table, and asked, "Can I have a word with you?"

So Chu Wangshan sent away all the guests and only left Lian Bantian.

At this time, Yan Ciwan and his group of four returned to Shaoguangyuan along the wind and rain corridor.

There were two people standing under the eaves at the gate of the courtyard. They were Du Lingzhou and Huai Yan.

The master and servant have not yet recovered from their illness and their faces still look pale. They must have been waiting here for a while and are shivering from the cold and sneezing constantly.

Yan Ciwan opened the courtyard gate, let them into the house to avoid the wind and snow, and then lit the charcoal in the brazier.

After doing all this, she couldn't help feeling a little emotional. She thought about how she couldn't even light a stove at first, but now she can light charcoal skillfully. The experience of the past three months has really made her grow a lot.

Chaolu took out two pills for dispelling cold and asked the two to take them.

Du Lingzhou and Huai Yan sat next to the brazier. Their shivering bodies gradually warmed up and their teeth finally stopped chattering.

Xiao Wang could probably guess the purpose of Du Lingzhou's visit, so he spoke directly.

"You are still sick now. Even if I beat you, it would not be a fair victory. Go back and take care of yourself. I will fight you again when you recover."

Du Lingzhou still remembered the lesson of being stood up by him before, and said, "I'm going to move to Shaoguangyuan. When I recover from my illness, we'll duel right away!"

Du Lingzhou made up his mind to keep an eye on Xiao Wang every day and not give Xiao Wang another chance to escape.

However, Xiao Wang said something that was beyond his expectations.

"We are just about to move somewhere else temporarily, and all the houses here are vacant. You can live in any one you want."

Du Lingzhou immediately became anxious and asked, "Are you going to run away again?!"

Xiao Wang roughly recounted what had happened in the villa over the past two days, and finally said: "The three of us are now murder suspects. The internal guards will keep a close eye on us. Don't worry, we will definitely not be able to escape."

Du Lingzhou opened his eyes wide.

He never expected that such a small villa could cause so much trouble.

Xiao Wang asked him to have a good rest here, then got up and prepared to go to the west wing to pack his luggage.

Du Lingzhou stood up and said, "I want to move to Yufengtang too!"

Xiao Wang neither said yes nor no, but pointed at Fu Bai who was guarding outside the door, motioning Du Lingzhou to ask him.

Du Lingzhou immediately called Fu Bai in and announced his decision.

"Huai Yan and I will also move to Yu Feng Tang to live with you."

Fu Bai said respectfully: "The rooms in Yufeng Hall are limited. If Du Erlang moves there, I'm afraid there will be nowhere to live."

Du Lingzhou was used to being domineering. He didn't care whether the objective conditions allowed it or not. He was determined to move to Yufengtang.
