Your Majesty, Madam, she is not a human being

Chapter 16 Leaving Huo Mansion
"Miss, where are we going now?" Standing outside the door of Huo Mansion, Xiao Cui was at a loss for a moment.

Although I knew that I and the young lady would leave the Huo family one day, we didn't expect to leave so soon!And in such an abrupt way!
"Let's go to Zuixian Tower and stay one night first." Huo Qingluan said quietly, then turned and walked towards the carriage parked on the roadside waiting for business.

"Ah?" Xiaocui couldn't react, "But we don't have it ourselves..."

However, before she finished speaking, Huo Qingluan turned around and gave her a look.Xiaocui quickly stopped talking and followed Huo Qingluan into the carriage.

The two boys guarding the back door of Huo Mansion quickly turned around and reported what they heard to mother and daughter Ye.

"Look, let's just say she had a plan." When Ye heard the news, she was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand out of the window.

"Mom." Huo Ziyan looked out the window and said, "Tell me the truth."

"What?" Ye looked at her daughter in disbelief. "Tell your father? Wouldn't that push us into a pit of fire?"

"Mom, dad is not a fool." Huo Ziyan frowned and said, "Besides, dad has been searching for so many years and hasn't found anything, so there is a high probability that the stuff is not in Huo's house. Maybe the stuff came out after Huo Qingluan left? And...if we are found out for lying, I'm afraid dad will take action against us."

Huo Ziyan is very thoughtful and knows the benefits of this matter to her.

"Okay." Mrs. Ye thought of Huo Qidong's methods and felt fearful. "I don't know what your father is looking for, but he has been looking for it for so many years with no results."

Hearing this, Huo Ziyan lowered her head and did not answer.

She didn't know why, but her father had been looking for something like that for two or thirty years, and every time he mentioned it, he had a solemn expression on his face.

It's as if...as if dad came to Huo's house just for that thing.But my father was only 1 year old when he was adopted by the Huo family!How can it be?

Huo Ziyan, who couldn't figure it out, shook her head, threw away the distracting thoughts in her mind, and continued to discuss with Ye.

……

Outside the Drunken House.

When Huo Qingluan took Xiaocui down from the carriage, a man in black clothes with a sword hanging on his waist came up to him: "Miss Qingluan."

Huo Qingluan raised his eyes and glanced at the person who came, and said calmly: "Who are you?"

"Subordinate Ling Gang, I came to pick you up on the order of my master. Please come down with me." The man said respectfully, and then made a gesture of invitation.

Huo Qingluan did not refuse when he heard this, and led Xiaocui to follow him towards an auction house opposite Zuixian Tower.

Ling Gang led the two of them to the second floor, where there were several soldiers-looking people standing there.

As Ling Gang approached, the soldiers all bowed to Ling Gang: "See Ling Guard."

"Yes." Ling Gang nodded lightly, then turned around, pointed at Huo Qingluan, and introduced: "These are Miss Qingluan and Miss Xiaocui. If you see them coming to see their master in the future, remember to give way and don't make any mistakes. "

"Yes." The soldiers responded.Then one of them stepped forward and opened a door, "You two girls, please."

Ling Gang walked at the front and led the two of them inside.

Entering the room, a light scent of sandalwood hits your nostrils.The walls around the room are covered with calligraphy and paintings, and a giant landscape painting hangs near the roof.The scroll depicts the scenery of Jiangnan, with a long river winding through it.

The whole painting is extremely delicate and lifelike.In particular, there are three big characters written on the lower right corner of the painting - Song Jiyang.

That scoundrel actually has this ability?Huo Qingluan's expression remained unchanged, but he was cursing in his heart.

"Miss, where are we?" Xiao Cui was a little scared. The room was so eerily quiet that only the faint sound of their footsteps on the floor was left. "Don't be afraid." Huo Qingluan patted Xiaocui's hand and told her to calm down.

Huo Qingluan looked around the whole room, and finally found a seat on the window side of the house. She pulled Xiaocui over and sat down. She glanced at the fruits, snacks, wine and vegetables on the table, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. .

It seems that Song Jiyang may have sent people to follow her a long time ago. These things are still fresh.

"Miss Qingluan, the master is still dealing with some matters, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get away for a while. I hope you will wait for a moment." Ling Gang walked into the room and looked at Huo Qingluan, before bowing his hands and saluting.

"Okay." Huo Qingluan nodded without showing any emotions such as surprise or anger.

Ling Gang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and stepped back, leaving the room to the master and servant.

Watching Ling Gang close the door and leave, Xiaocui asked worriedly: "Miss, what should I do...?"

"It's cold." Huo Qingluan shrugged, picked up a piece of pastry with the chopsticks on the table and ate it slowly.

"Miss, aren't you afraid that they are bad people?" Xiao Cui looked at Huo Qingluan's actions and asked doubtfully.

"What are you afraid of?" Huo Qingluan glanced at Xiaocui and said in a nonchalant tone: "Do you think we are rich or good-looking? Not many men can bear the scar on my face."

"Didn't that young man want to marry you last time?" Xiaocui said seriously, "My young lady is so good, but those men have no vision!"

"Hehehe..." Huo Qingluan couldn't help but smile. She didn't expect that the maid who had always been cute and innocent would now learn to say nice things.

"Miss, you're still smiling." Xiaocui muttered, obviously still immersed in what he just said, "Let me tell you, miss, you don't need to force yourself to marry them. What kind of good man do you want? Huh? For example, Mr. Song who came this time, although he is a bit older, he has a good character and takes good care of the young lady..."

"I think I'm the right age. Older men love their wives more." The door opened suddenly, and then a man strode in.

It's Song Jiyang.

Xiao Cui, who was still chattering non-stop, immediately closed her mouth, blessed her body in a polite manner, and called: "Mr. Song."

"Yes." Song Jiyang responded, but his eyes were fixed on Huo Qingluan, with a slight curl on his lips.

"Xiaocui, please step aside first." Huo Qingluan said, and glanced at Song Jiyang again, "Mr. Song, since you are here, let's talk about business."

Song Jiyang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, "Are you discussing marriage?"

"..."

Huo Qingluan raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Song, I am homeless now. Taking advantage of the situation to rob someone is not what a gentleman would do, right?"

Song Jiyang was startled when he heard this, and then chuckled, "Of course I won't take advantage of others, but... you did it on purpose, right? You came out of Huo's house on purpose."

Huo Qingluan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The taste was sweet and the aftertaste was lingering.

"I was kicked out." She said lightly.

"..."

Very good, this is not going to tell the truth.

Song Jiyang sighed and said helplessly: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. Come on, tell me about your so-called business."
