At this time, someone was talking outside the courtyard wall. Xia Chengke was afraid of being discovered, so he quickly took a detour and climbed over the wall from another place and left.

After returning home, Xia Chengke tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

He didn't understand why the person he had been looking for in vain suddenly appeared today.

And observing Wan Ning's actions, she seemed to be very familiar with this farm, and finally she entered Wen Xin's yard.

"Could it be that there is a secret room in her study?"

The reason why I couldn’t find anyone in the past few days was because Wan Ning was hiding in the secret room?

Thinking of this, this reasoning seems to be the most practical.

Looking at the roof, Xia Chengke said again: "It seems that I have to go to the study room again tomorrow."

But before the sky was completely bright, Xia Chengke woke up as soon as the morning light appeared.

He couldn't fall asleep lying in bed, so he turned over and got up.

Hearing the noise in his room, Xiaodong and Xiaoxi beside him immediately opened the door and came out. But Xia Chengke waved his hand: "No, I'm just taking a walk."

After hearing his words, the two subordinates also knew his temper and went back to the house.

After Xia Chengke came out of the yard, he quietly went to Wen Xin's yard.

After walking around the study, he pushed the door open and went in. After entering, he noticed the folding fan at a glance. Looking at the bright red color on it, he walked forward quickly in surprise.

"This is..., it's back to its original state?"

Xia Chengke thought carefully about what he saw when he came here last night, and there was indeed no woman in red on it. He picked it up again and looked at it carefully, and found that the folding fan was the same one as before.

"Strange, what is going on?"

When Wan Ning heard the noise in the study, he immediately came to the osmanthus tree. The person who came was Xia Chengke again.

(This Xia guy is so interested in this fan, how much does he like it?)

In Wan Ning's sight, he saw passenger Xia anxiously picking up the folding fan, touching it and smelling it. His expression was full of concentration and seriousness, as well as disbelief.

The big hand touched Wan Ning's cheek again, carefully.

Wan Ning couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart: Here he comes again, oh, he really likes to take action!

Now that he was sure that the folding fan had been returned, Xia Chengke put this aside for the time being and began to look for the secret door in the study.

After searching the study carefully, he didn't find any suspicious places.

After the unsuccessful search, Xia Chengke did not give up, but he had been out long enough and it was almost breakfast time, so he had to go back immediately.

So he closed the door again and left Wen Xin's yard.

Bai Chenxi came to Xia Chengke right after breakfast and said, "Mr. Xia, I have contacted my sister. She has replied and will be back soon."

"okay, I get it."

Bai Chenxi was rude to Xia Chengke again: "Thank you so much for your help this time, Mr. Xia. Without your help, I don't know when my sister would have found the person she is looking for."

Xia Chengke nodded: "It's just a piece of cake. Besides, Miss Bai and I have agreed on this before. It's my duty."

"In any case, I still want to thank Mr. Xia."

"Chenxi, I have a question I want to clarify." Thinking of what happened yesterday, Xia Chengke said, "Apart from you two siblings, is there really no one else living in this village?"

Although Bai Chenxi didn't understand why Xia Chengke asked this, he still answered truthfully: "Apart from the two of us, there is also Brother Meng who comes over occasionally. Other than that, there are only a few servants here."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be lying, Xia Chengke finally nodded and smiled: "It's okay, I'm just too curious about the village, so I just asked casually."

Although Bai Chenxi had doubts about Xia Chengke's words and personality, Sister Wen Xin had told him before not to interfere with Xia Chengke's actions.

Xiaodong and Xiaoxi, who were standing by, saw their young master's appearance and stepped forward to ask, "Young master, is there something wrong?"

"Young Master, what do you need me to do?"

The woman in red who appeared and disappeared, and the folding fan that was swapped, there were strange things in every aspect, and the mystery in Xia Chengke's heart could not be solved.

Then he said to his two subordinates, "Now, check this manor inside and out to see if there is a woman in red anywhere."

"Yes, my lord."

A few days later, Xiaodong suddenly came to Xia Chengke and said that he had found a suspicious person outside the village.

Xia Chengke stood up in a hurry after hearing this, but after thinking of something, he immediately told Xiaodong: "Go and keep an eye on her to see if she has gone anywhere. I'll go over later."

Hearing the young master say this, Xiaodong quietly climbed up the wall again and looked at the figure on a small slope from a distance.

As for Xia Chengke, he first went to Wen Xin's study.

He wanted to see if the folding fan had been replaced by someone, because ever since he last saw Wan Ning enter the study and suddenly disappeared, he couldn't help but wonder if Wan Ning was the one who stole the folding fan and put it back to its original place.

"Why did she take the folding fan? What is her connection with this fan?"

Or maybe she also wanted to get that fan?

The question lingered in Xia Chengke's mind, and he was eager to know the answer.

When he entered the study, he found that the woman in red on the folding fan had really disappeared.

Feeling confused, he immediately walked out. When he arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet Xiaodong, Xia Chengke actually saw a blurry figure.

Without any hesitation, he jumped over the wall.

The footsteps were heavy and instantly attracted Wan Ning's attention. She immediately turned around to look.

"Ah, it's you? Mr. Xia, what a fate, haha!"

Wan Ning wondered if this person was following him specifically, as he ran into him several times.

Seeing Wan Ning smile, Xia Chengke also smiled unconsciously: "Yes, Xia and the girl are indeed destined to be together."

The two chatted for a while on the small hill, and then Wan Ning suggested leaving.

Xia Chengke did not stop her, but nodded. After she left, Xia Chengke also stood up and left.

His destination was the study room. Although he took a different route back, Xia Chengke still saw it.

The moment the study door closed, the red figure was Wan Ning whom he had just met.

This time he did not choose to leave, but followed directly in.

Wan Ning had just returned to the painting when the door of the study was opened. The sound scared her.

After Xia Chengke entered, he went straight to the folding fan.

Under the moonlight, the folding fan lay there quietly, and the woman in red in the painting was standing under the tree.

Xia Chengke noticed that the faint scent of Sophora japonica flowers was emanating from the folding fan. There seemed to be a lingering scent of osmanthus flowers in the room, just like what he had just smelled on Wan Ning.
