Chapter 21 Ghosts
Since he caught a cold from playing in the snow last night, Qi Yue went to bed after dinner and drank some medicine given by Shen Jinyu. After waking up with a cough in the middle of the night, he couldn't sleep.

After lying on the bed for a long time and really couldn't sleep, Qi Yue got up with his clothes on and planned to go out for a walk.

Just after the snow fell, there was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere, and the trees in Changlin Villa were all bald, with thick snow hanging on the bare branches, shining white under the moonlight.

It was quiet at night, no one was around, and the feet made a "rustling" sound on the thick snow.The sickle-like crescent hangs high and far away on the treetops. When Qi Yue takes a step, the crescent will take a step back. No matter where he goes, he looks up and the crescent is always in that position.

Qi Yue wandered aimlessly all the way, and saw her walking slowly in a white cloak all around in the empty surroundings, her lonely figure was a little lonely.

Most people will always be homesick at this time, but Qi Yue doesn't want to, she will never think of the home that she thinks she is redundant.It was the magic den that took her 20 years to get out of.

Walking and walking, she arrived at the base of the old locust tree where she practiced swords with Shen Jinyu on weekdays. There were still some dead leaves hanging on the old locust tree. After walking a few steps forward, she crossed a wooden bridge, and there were faint voices came.Qi Yue listened intently for a moment, the voice seemed to come from her left hand.

Qi Yue walked towards the direction of the voice, and approached Duan Cang's yard. As the owner of Changlin Villa, Duan Cang's yard was placed beside a small stream, surrounded by flowers and plants, very elegant.The night was very deep, Duan Cang didn't have a servant by his side, he was sitting in the courtyard, talking with a man in black.

The man was wearing a black brocade suit and sat drinking tea opposite Duan Cang. Then, under the moonlight, Qi Yue saw the man's face clearly. It was the man who peeked at Shen Jinyu talking to her during the day yesterday. Zhang Yin.

He and Duan Cang seemed to have talked about something unpleasant, Duan Cang's face was very ugly, Zhang Yin was talking about something, Duan Cang didn't answer, he just put the teacup on the table, stood up and walked into the study, Zhang Yin followed closely behind.

The people from the imperial court had already left Changlin Villa yesterday after selecting those who would enter the barracks. Why is Zhang Yin still here?Qi Yue struggled for a moment between not being nosy and eavesdropping, but lost to eavesdropping.

She moved lightly towards the study, and squatted down at a withered and snow-covered flower bush closest to the study.Qi Yue put on the white hat of the cloak and listened attentively to the movement in the room.

Before he heard any movement in the room, a hand suddenly stretched out to cover Qi Yue's mouth, Qi Yue was shocked, and subconsciously struggled to break the man's hand, the owner of that hand stretched out another Grabbing Qi Yue's beating hand with one hand and pulling her forward, Qi Yue saw that the person covering her mouth was Shen Jinyu.

Shen Jinyu put her index finger to her mouth to signal Qi Yue not to speak, Qi Yue nodded, Shen Jinyu let go of her hand, Qi Yue asked why he was here, Shen Jinyu shook her head, wanted to take Qi Yue away, but before she moved, Shen Jinyu's name suddenly changed from It came out from the study,

"What does Master Zhang mean by approaching Shen Jinyu in private?"

It was Duan Cang's voice.

"It's nothing. I was lucky enough to see his mother's peerless demeanor back then, so I wanted to see what a child born to such a beauty would look like. It really lived up to expectations. The child born from a beauty is exactly as good as her."

Zhang Yin replied.

Qi Yue was a little strange, why did these two people suddenly talk about Shen Jinyu's parents?She looked up at Shen Jinyu's expression, he was listening intently to the words of the people in the room.

"Master Zhang," Duan Cang's tone was a little angry, but he seemed to be trying his best to suppress the volume, "It was clearly agreed at the beginning, and I will give you what you want after it is done. , Why did Lord Zhang use that matter to threaten Duan again?"

"Heh, don't worry, Master Duan," Zhang Yin said unhurriedly, "You are also a person who has gone through the storms of your age. How can you still trust the promises made by others when you are sitting in the current position of the owner? ?Especially a promise based on benefits. To me, it doesn’t matter whether I keep my promise or not. I never make a loss-making transaction. Since I have a bargaining chip, I must use it to the end.”

Duan Cang: "Master Zhang's request, forgive Duan for not being able to agree!"

"Don't agree? The position of the owner of the villa was too smooth during that period. The owner of the villa has always had a good face. If I spread the story of how the owner of the villa got this position to the world, you said you finally carried it forward. Bu Yuandao, what will happen to the reputation of you and your son? Tell me, what will happen if Shen Jinyu knows the truth about him becoming an orphan?"

the truth?The truth about Shen Jinyu becoming an orphan?Could there be a problem with his parents' death?Qi Yue looked at Shen Jinyu, Shen Jinyu had a complex expression, staring at Duan Cang's study without blinking for a moment, her body was tense, and the hand holding Qi Yue trembled due to tension.

Qi Yue had a very strong premonition in her heart, and her heart beat very fast.

"Master Zhang!" Duan Cang was so angry that he couldn't speak easily, but Zhang Yin's tone was still smiling, "Mr. Do you care what method to use? Time is running out, you should think about it carefully, if what I hear all the time is disagreement, then that kid Shen Jinyu can prepare for revenge. Don’t think about getting rid of Shen Jinyu, Master Duan, and you’ll be fine. , if something happens to him, your reputation will only get worse, owner, and when the truth is revealed, people in Jianghu will probably attack you."

After finishing speaking, footsteps sounded, Zhang Yin came out, Qi Yue looked at Shen Jinyu nervously, Shen Jinyu reached out and grabbed Qi Yue's cloak hat and hugged her in his arms, and waited until the sound of Zhang Yin's footsteps disappeared into the night, then let her go.Without saying a word, Shen Jinyu dragged Qi Yue out.

"Shen Jinyu, Shen Jinyu," Qi Yue kept calling him, but Shen Jinyu didn't respond. His footsteps were so fast that Qi Yue couldn't keep up. She grabbed Shen Jinyu's hand and said anxiously, "Shen Jinyu, stop, Shen Jinyu !"

Shen Jinyu let go of Qi Yue's hand and stopped abruptly. Qi Yue walked up to Shen Jinyu and looked at him, "Shen Jinyu, calm down first, don't worry, let's analyze what they said first, don't you urgent,"

Shen Jinyu was short of breath, and his chest heaved violently. After listening to Qi Yue's words, he closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down, but the words of Zhang Yin and Duan Cang kept echoing in his mind. He only had one thought now,
There is something wrong with the death of parents, they were murdered, he wants to find the murderer, he wants revenge, and these are all related to Duan Cang.The man who claimed to be worthy of his parents!
