The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 513 Night Visit to the 2nd Mansion

"Boss, let's go first!"

The one who spoke was Lin Kang. When he was on a mission, he also called Lin Xi "Boss". Seeing Lin Xi nod, he quickly left with Yuanyuan and the other three. Xiao Que transformed into a little sparrow and squatted on his shoulder.

"Let's go too! Dad? What are you doing?"

Just as Lin Xi was about to take action with Daya and the other two, she discovered that there was one more person in her team. That person was none other than her father, Lin Dayong.

"Xi'er, you promised Daddy that you would take me with you if you had such an operation again."

Lin Dayong said with his eyes wide open, showing no intention of returning to his room.

"Okay, let's go!"

Lin Xi had no choice but to take him with him and quickly disappear into the night with his teammates.

"The women are usually in the backyard. Let's split up and start looking from the backyard. After we find Wang Siruo's yard, give a signal! Be careful and don't expose yourself!"

Lin Xi brought the four people to a roof in the backyard of Anyang Marquis Mansion and sent them a message.

The four of them agreed and flew towards different courtyards.

Lin Xi came to a courtyard in the west center of the backyard and saw a candle still on in a house. He lifted a tile and looked inside. He saw a master and servant he didn't recognize. He was about to leave when he heard their conversation. He squatted down and continued to listen.

"Miss, it's getting late. Go to bed quickly. Be careful not to overwork yourself!"

The maid was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, and she spoke to the woman who was sitting at the table sewing clothes.

"There is one more thing. I will finish it soon. I will go to sleep after I finish it! I will find time to send it to Brother Cao Zhu tomorrow!"

The young lady didn't even raise her head, she was still sewing.

"Miss, you have been waiting for Master Cao Zhu for so many years, but he still has no explanation!"

The maid stood up, took another candle and came over to help the young lady light the room, and said with a pout.

"Before, Brother Cao Zhu was always leading troops in battles outside, so he didn't have the time to think about these romantic matters. Besides, he didn't ask me to wait for him. Now that he has returned to the capital, and his mother and sister have been avenged, it's time for him to think about his own marriage, right? Anyway, as long as he doesn't get married, I have a chance. Just treat him well. Even if he is a stone, I can warm him up."

The woman paused for a moment while holding the needle and thread, then continued with her work.

"Miss, what if Master Cao Zhu marries another woman?"

The maid asked cautiously.

"Then I will be an old maid for the rest of my life and just watch him from afar."

After sewing the last stitch, the woman tied a knot on the thread, stood up, picked up the newly finished dress, and smiled gently.

"My lady, why are you so stupid? The old lady said to find a matchmaker to go to the house to test the waters of Master Cao Zhu, but you refused."

The maid stamped her feet lightly, looking more anxious than her master.

"If I want to find out what he wants, I can go by myself. Why would I need a matchmaker? Now, let's go to bed! I'm so sleepy!"

The woman carefully put her clothes into the closet, stretched herself, yawned loudly, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in a moment.

Seeing this, the maidservant gently blew out the candle, tiptoed to the bed, covered her master with a quilt, and then lay down on the couch next to her. Soon, the two breathing sounds in the room became even.

"I never thought there would be a girl who is so devoted to her uncle!"

Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, put the tile back carefully, kept the matter in mind, and flew to the next courtyard to check.

"This guy actually still has Fang Ruo's portrait! Humph! Fang Ruo is mine, and this portrait belongs to me! Don't even think about having any crush on Fang Ruo in this life, not only this life, but also in the next life and the next life!"

At this time, Lin Dayong stood beside Anyang Hou's desk. He carefully rolled up the two portraits of Cao Fangruo and put them into the space ring. He looked at Anyang Hou who was sleeping soundly on the bed and curled his lips.

Seeing that the man seemed to be waking up, he quickly left the study.

Anyang Hou opened his eyes dazedly on the bed. How come he seemed to hear someone talking just now? He looked around and saw that there was no one else in the room. The old housekeeper was still sleeping on the couch next to him. He closed his eyes again. Maybe he was dreaming. After thinking about it, he fell into a deep sleep again.

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"

Two cuckoo calls were heard from somewhere, and four figures flew quickly towards the courtyard where the sound came from in the dark night.

"Boss, this is where Wang Siruo lives. It's just strange that there are only her and two other women in her yard, and no other servants."

When Daya saw Lin Xi and the other three coming over, she lowered her voice and spoke to Lin Xi.

"Let's go down and take a look!"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he flew towards Wang Siruo's room first, and Lin Dayong and the other three followed.

Inside the house, Wang Siruo breathed evenly and didn't notice anyone entering her room.

Lin Xi and the other four restrained their breath and quickly checked the house. Lin Ping even went through her closet and carefully checked her clothes and shoes. What he didn't know was that Wang Siruo was very careful. After escaping back home, she burned all the clothes, shoes, socks, veils and hats she was wearing. The things the man in white gave her were also wrapped in a magic weapon that isolated the breath and hidden in the secret compartment of her bed.

"She must have been punished and detained in this courtyard to copy Buddhist scriptures."

Looking at the Lotus Sutra spread out on the table and the pile of copied scriptures next to it, Lin Xi transmitted a message to the four people.

After carefully searching every corner of the room and finding no clues, Lin Xi made a gesture to the four people, and they quickly withdrew from Wang Siruo's house and flew towards the Minister of Rites' Mansion.

In the storehouse of the Minister of Rites's residence, Xiao An'er looked at the storehouse full of gold, silver and jewelry with sparkling eyes, looking like a little money-grubber.

"Xiao An'er, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and collect these things! Anyway, his daughter and your mother are enemies, it would be a waste if you don't take them!"

Xiao Que jumped on Lin An's shoulder and urged.

"Too!"

Lin An nodded in agreement, and with a wave of his hand, the treasures in the warehouse disappeared instantly.

"There's a secret compartment there!"

The little bird flew a circle in the warehouse and pointed its wings at a wall for Lin An to look.

When Lin An heard this, his eyes brightened. He quickly moved to the wall and studied how to open the secret compartment.

"Don't bother thinking, Xiao An, just look at me!"

After Xiao Que finished speaking, a cluster of flames spit out of his mouth, and a hole was instantly burned in the wall. Xiao Que controlled it very well, and the things inside were intact. Without Xiao Que's urging, Lin An put the things into the space ring.

Lin An rolled his eyes and left a line of words on the wall: The God of Thieves was here!

Then he took Xiao Que out of the warehouse and met up with Lin Kang and his friends.

They had already completed the investigation of the Shangshu Mansion and found no clues of the evil cultivator. Just as they were about to leave, they saw Lin Xi and others coming over. They exchanged glances and realized that there were no clues of the evil cultivator, so they went home to sleep and get enough rest to prepare to enter the palace.
