After traveling through time, I took command and led the troops to conquer the mountains and rivers.

Chapter 137 Surprise
After Lin Gongxun left, Yu Jia sat in the pavilion and couldn't calm down for a long time.

The breeze floats on the lake surface and waves of clouds are blowing towards you, which is very refreshing.

Suddenly, Yu Jia laughed.

Lin Gongxun, Lin Nuodan, how could you confess your love at this time?
Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Yu Jia became determined.

After finally getting a clue about the Lin family's destruction, how could she put aside her overwhelming hatred and start a romance at this juncture?
How should she deal with herself if Lin Gongxun really killed the Lin family in her previous life?

When Ayan woke up, it was already dark. She walked out of the room and did not see Lin Erzhu.

At this time, two maids arranged by Li Daxun came over and said, "Girl, are you hungry?"

The older of the two maids is called Mei Xiang, who is about eleven or twelve years old, and the younger one, who looks to be only eight or nine years old, is called Bi He.

"Not hungry!"

The two looked at each other.

The housekeeper arranged for two people to serve the noble man. Although one was dressed as a man, he lived in the same room as the girl in front of him.

Although they have doubts in their hearts, the most important thing for them as servants is to be careful in their words and actions and not to ask questions.

The woman who went out in the afternoon did not let the two of them follow her. Now this woman who seemed to be talkative may not be as talkative as she appears.

Seeing that she was about to leave the hospital, the two of them quickly followed her.

"Why are you following me?" Ayan frowned, she didn't like people following behind her.

"Girl, the young master just lost his way somewhere else and was sent back by his sister elsewhere. The slaves should help you lead the way!"

Mei Xiang said cautiously.

"No, I'll just walk around here and be back in a while."

As if thinking of something, Ayan turned around and looked at the two of them.

"Prepare some food later, I'll be back soon."

"This" Bihe was still a little hesitant, but Mei Xiang quickly took over.

"Don't worry, girl, go out. When you come back, I will make sure that you can eat our special delicacies in Weijiang."

Ayan nodded, without comment, turned around and left the distance.

After Ayan left, Meixiang pulled Bihe over.

"This nobleman is of no small importance. We must treat him with care, and we won't say anything if we can."

Bihe sniffed. This was the first time she had served someone outside the house since she entered the house.

"Sister Mei Xiang, this girl doesn't seem to like talking, but I'm a little afraid of her."

Mei Xiang chuckled and scratched her nose, "What are you afraid of? I have a sister!"

When Ayan walked out of the courtyard, a familiar feeling hit her face.

She hadn't noticed it before entering the Governor's Mansion, but here she knew the reason.

This place is built according to the residence in Suzhou.

The cloisters, buildings, and even the roadside decorations all have the shadow of Suzhou gardens.

Lin Erzhu got lost because she was not familiar with the structure of Suzhou gardens.

How could Ayan get lost?

Anger, sadness, fear, and horror were all kinds of emotions that came to her heart, and her eyes gradually turned red.

why?
Li Daxun, what does this have to do with you?
A group of people came from a distance. Ayan raised her head to get rid of the water in her eyes and turned towards the side path.

The trail seems to become more and more desolate the further you go.

The road is covered with fallen leaves. The governor's mansion is so big that there is no one to clean it, right?
Ayan carefully observed the surrounding situation and found that although the place was desolate, the flowers and plants in the courtyard were well taken care of.

The desolate scenes on the outer edge seem to be intentional.

Walking deeper along the path, an inconspicuous courtyard gate comes into view. If you don't look carefully, you will definitely be ignored.

There were no extra servants here, and Ayan did not dare to take it lightly. She touched the dagger at her waist, ready to pull it out at any time to defend herself.

As I slowly approached the courtyard door, I seemed to be able to hear some movement. She was close to the courtyard door, and the sound of some strings came from her. When she listened to these melodies, the hair on her body stood on end.

It turned out to be Suzhou Pingtan!
But after a moment, she calmed down.

As a former Liangjiang official, it is understandable that Li Daxun left Liangjiang and recalled the past.

But her intuition told her that the people inside were not that simple.

Thinking of this, she couldn't care less and stretched out her hand to push the door open.

"girl!"

There was a sudden voice behind Ayan. She turned around and saw that it was the housekeeper.

The housekeeper came over with a smile, "Is the girl lost?"

Ayan was speechless. She heard the "crackling" sound in the courtyard and wanted to go in and check.

But the housekeeper with a normal expression in front of her was still waiting for her answer, so she couldn't barge in, right?
"Yes, the Governor's Mansion is too big. I got lost without knowing it."

The housekeeper understood clearly and said, "Girl, please follow me. I heard from Mei Xiang that you asked for food. You must be hungry, right?"

Ayan stepped forward and said, "That's it. Thank you butler."

The two of them walked in tandem, and without waiting for Ayan to ask questions, the housekeeper talked about the origin of this place.

"Girl, please don't go wrong next time. This is the residence of one of the Governor's aunts."

"It's just that this aunt was jealous in the early years and her head was ruined. Our governor was kind-hearted and didn't drive her out of the house, so he placed her here."

"The little one is afraid that she is not serious, and it will be bad if he bumps into the girl!"

Ayan echoed, "I didn't expect that the governor would have such a bodhisattva-like heart."

The housekeeper answered cheerfully and introduced the buildings in the garden to Ayan.

"Our commander-in-chief was on duty in Suzhou in his early years. After he was transferred here, he missed his hometown, so he built this house."

"Everywhere the girl looks, there is the style of Suzhou gardens."

After hearing this, Ayan chuckled.

"The Governor is such a generous person!"

He must have received a lot of reward to be able to build such a magnificent garden.

"What you said is wrong, girl!" the housekeeper continued.

"This garden was not built together. When the governor first took office, he spent all his family's savings to build the main courtyard."

"Just like the courtyard you just saw, it was built when the governor first arrived here."

"Later, the governor gradually accumulated some savings, and then he built the courtyards in front one after another."

No wonder the courtyard here feels out of place and looks a bit awkward!

After a while, the two returned to Ayan's residence.

The two entered the courtyard gate and saw that Lin Erzhu had come back. She was holding Bi He and wiping her tears with a look of helplessness.

"Er Zhu, are you back?"

When Yu Jia saw Ayan coming back, she felt like she had seen a savior.

"Ayan, you are back. Come and comfort this little girl, she keeps crying."

Yu Jia was relieved.

"What's going on?" the housekeeper asked with a straight face.

Bihe cried even harder this time.

It turned out that the housekeeper had just ordered someone to deliver meals. When he saw that the two nobles were not there, he asked about their whereabouts.

He knew that Yu Jia got lost, and he had given repeated orders not to allow it to happen again.

The words were a little harsh, and Bihe felt a little aggrieved.
