After crossing, I was miserable.

There have been people coming in and out next door to the Qian Mansion recently, and it looks like it’s quite a big scene.

Everyone has been discussing this issue recently.

When Qian Duoduo bought the house, she specifically looked around. There was a mansion next door that was right next door, and she actually liked the house next door more, but the house next door was not for sale at all.

In fact, it was so close to the Imperial College that few people would sell their houses, so even renting them out would be good. She was probably picking up a bargain.

"Do you know what kind of family lives next door?" Qian Duoduo asked.

Recently, cold noodles and pancakes are selling very well. Zhou She and Wang Bai both went to the store to help, especially checking the accounts and watching the money.

Because there is a lot of small change, a few coins missing every day won’t be noticed.

Qian Duoduo didn't want to test them from the beginning. Money is attractive, and a little bit of copper coins accumulated over time would become a lot of money.

“Don’t do evil, no matter how small it is” is probably the truth.

So Qian Duoduo asked Zhou She and Wang Bo to be responsible for one store each, sort out the accounting issues, and manage the store well.

Sometimes Xiaoqi and two maids would go over to help.

Uncle Li and Aunt Six must be the ones who stay at home every day.

At this time, Aunt Six replied:

"To answer the eldest lady's question, I have never seen the host family. The people who come and go are all housekeepers. I think they must be a wealthy family or a family that is about to take the imperial examination."

Aunt Liu thought for a moment and said,

"I always felt like a student taking the imperial examination. I saw a lot of books being brought in that day."

"A lot of books?"

"Yes, I think there are about ten carts."

"So many? I'd better build a good relationship with you. Maybe I can borrow a book from you later.

Aunt Liu, go over there tomorrow to see if there is anything you can help with and lend a hand."

"Yes, I'll remember it."

The neighbors have been busy for several days and finally finished the work.

Aunt Liu went over to say hello, and it was an old housekeeper who came over and brought some fruits. After thanking her, she left without saying anything else.

But it seemed that was the case next door, with no one coming in or out, and Qian Duoduo always thought that no one lived there.

One day, Qian Duoduo was staring at the wall next door.

She was a little confused. Why didn't anyone come to live there after the work was done? Could it be that they were on the way and hadn't arrived yet?

But the door next door was not completely locked, which means someone must have come over. Why didn’t I see anyone?

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.

Qian Duoduo was afraid of offending someone she couldn't afford to offend, so she suppressed her curiosity. Otherwise, she would have jumped over the wall to find out what was going on.

She suppressed her curiosity about what she didn't know, but the person next door couldn't suppress his curiosity.

He didn't expect her to be so patient and thought she would come to find out the truth.

It seems that he is overthinking. I really hope he is overthinking.

Although Qian Duoduo has some knowledge of cat urination, she is not alert when she sleeps. When she falls asleep, it is as if she has been drugged and she usually cannot wake up.

So, for safety reasons, she didn't allow her maids to sleep in her outer room. She often went directly to the outer room to sleep after the maids left, as there was no safer place.

But she would still decorate the room, for example, setting up a series of traps, so it would be no problem to prevent thieves.

Therefore, she specifically instructed the maids not to come in without her permission.

So, when Chu Yan came in through the window, he looked at the trap set by Qian Duoduo, was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

A little smart, but not much.

All traps are aimed at entering through the door.

Once the door is opened, the line on the door will pull the rope inside, and then the heavy object will fall onto the supported wooden board. The other end of the wooden board will be lifted up, and there should be something waiting for the person who enters the door.

Then the bells on the beams will ring. It’s really a clever design.

Whose boudoir would be designed like this? If she had said there was nothing wrong with her, no one would have believed her.

But Qian Duoduo just doesn't feel safe living in such a house.

Modern buildings have password locks and electronic locks, but they still cannot guarantee 100% safety, not to mention the ancient rooms with bolts, which would make it difficult to sleep peacefully.

Qian Duoduo simply went to the space to sleep and set a trap at the same time, just in case there was a thief.

Especially a single woman’s boudoir is unsafe.

When Chu Yan walked to the bed, he instinctively picked up his sword and stabbed it quickly towards the bed.

He didn't want to kill her, and he didn't even know what feelings he had for her.

But recently he found out that the assassins from Qin had been to Chu, which was the time when Qian Duoduo was "inquiring" about him.

But for some reason, they didn't respond and disappeared silently again.

Then Qian Duoduo's younger brother appeared. Just after the group of killers disappeared, her younger brother appeared.

I have to say, this is all quite coincidental.

He had to be on guard to prevent her from using her beauty to stay by his side.

This is his instinct. He would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go.

In recent years, Qin's assassination attempts on him have become more and more frequent, as if they were getting impatient.

Therefore, anyone who comes from an unknown place must be carefully watched.

Although some information about Qian Duoduo's childhood has been found, no one can prove the period of time when he fled from famine.

He didn't believe that someone with such ability would flee to the capital.

Therefore, he had to guard against it.

Chu Yan also signaled the housekeeper to reveal a little bit to them. He thought Qian Duoduo came to find out the truth by herself, so he kept waiting.

After waiting for a while, she didn't show up.

Chu Yan didn’t have that much patience, so he came by himself.

Chu Yan didn't know about this. Although the housekeeper leaked some information to Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu knew that she was her own daughter and it would be inappropriate for her to know too much about the man outside her family.

The eldest son of the family was not interested in these things, and she simply felt that they were not important, so she did not tell any of the masters of the family.

When Chu Yan discovered that there was an empty quilt on the bed, his body once again gave him an alert, fearing that it was a trap set for him.

But Chu Yan knew clearly that he was the only one in the room.

Yes, he was too nervous. When he came in, he was only thinking about the person on the bed and didn't notice that he was the only one breathing in the room.

Chu Yan sat on the bed, puzzled.

"Dark Three,"

Suddenly a figure appeared.

"master",

"You saw her enter the room with your own eyes,"

"My lord, yes, she never came out after dinner."

An San looked at the bed behind his master and understood, "Master, I didn't leave until you came. I'm sure Mr. Qian didn't leave the room after dinner."

Chu Yan waved his hand and An San retreated.

Chu Yan thought that when she was in the inn before, she was often "not in the room".

How could a person with so many secrets be an ordinary person?

Qian Duoduo slept well all night and had no idea what was happening outside.
