"Qi Rui's father..."
It's very quiet in the north courtyard of Qi family. Mu Siyue didn't find any servants along the way. There are messy weeds in the courtyard, and the door is closed. It seems that no one has come for some time.
Look around carefully, take out the old key, click, the big lock is opened.
Mu Siyue quickly sneaks in. The key is stolen from the housekeeper. While the housekeeper takes care of the child, he sneaks into the housekeeper's tent and takes the key to the north courtyard. I hope they don't find it so soon.
"What's going on?"
The villa in the north courtyard is similar to that in the east courtyard. Mu Siyue just wants to enter the master bedroom, but he stops at the door of the study.
The study was in a mess, with trophies on the ground, files, pens and old calculators all smashed to pieces. Mu Siyue frowned and looked around.
"Qi Rui did it?" No one will come to the north yard except him, "why did he destroy his father's study?" Hate? "
Mu Siyue looks at this smashed and disordered study, and a strong hatred rises from the bottom of his heart.
"Does Qi Rui really hate his father so much?"
Squat down, fingers on the floor of the messy documents touched, a thin layer of dust, "it seems that these things have been smashed for at least half a year."
Full of doubts, "why was he so angry at that time?"
Of course, mu Siyue has seen Qi Rui angry, but Qi Rui usually controls his mood, and his cold voice can scare people away. When he is most dissatisfied, he may fall off his mobile phone.
…… But it's a bit of a manic mess like this.
Step out of the study and head for the master bedroom next door.
Screw open the door, the door lock should be too long not open, some rusty, at a glance, it looks very spacious, big bed, sofa furniture are covered with white cloth, the window is locked, the air is a little dead, stuffy.
The bedroom where a dead man once lived.
Mu Siyue didn't contact Qi Rui's father. He only knew that his name was Qi Nanyuan. The dead man's bedroom was not so gloomy for her. She walked in curiously, and her eyes first fell on a photo frame on the bedside table.
"It seems that he is a nostalgic and family oriented man."
On the photo frame, Mr. Qi is very young. The woman beside him should be his grandmother. Around him are five daughters and Qi Nanyuan. This is a picture of the whole family.
Looking up at a large wedding photo on the central wall of the bedroom bed, Mo Xiangye is wearing a beautiful white dress. The bird is leaning against Qi Nanyuan's chest. They look very loving.
Qi Nanyuan is handsome and elegant, with a calm and indifferent affinity between his eyebrows. "No wonder Mr. Qi complains that Qi Rui doesn't look like his father all day long..."
The bedroom is clean and tidy, and there are not many display items. Maybe Qi Nanyuan was buried with him after his death, but mu Siyue always feels that something is wrong.
She curiously rummages through the closet, because Qi Rui's feelings for his father are very complex, and mu Siyue wants to know more about Qi Nanyuan's life.
"What is this?"
There is a dark cabinet under a combined table in the middle of the small sofa in the bedroom. As soon as I pulled out the cabinet, I looked at a complex carved red sandalwood box the size of a brick. The precious red sandalwood has been used for some years. The wood is black and bright, with a small gold lock. It seems that there are very important things in it.
Mu Siyue looks surprised, carefully takes out the red sandalwood box, and stares at the complex carving patterns, "it's Manzhu shahua..."
Seeing the exquisite carving pattern clearly, mu Siyue felt cold in his heart. Holding the red sandalwood box, mu Siyue's hand trembled unconsciously.
What bad luck!
"If you don't carve flowers, you carve manzhushahua..." Manjushahua, also known as the other shore flower, this is the flower of the dead!
"What's in this?"
Mu Siyue's heart is more curious, but the precious red sandalwood box has a gold lock, and mu Siyue doesn't dare to pry it open by force. He turns over the box and looks at it carefully.
"Why did Qi Nanyuan put this east Tibet here? What's inside..." Low Nan, mu Siyue suddenly on the hand.
Looking at the back of the box in shock, someone wrote two words in red ink, Aier.
"This..." Mu Siyue felt chills on his back.
"Normal people can't write with a red brush, but the bright red characters are written on this precious black red sandalwood, just like a smart card..."
Mu Siyue was surprised and quickly put the precious red sandalwood box back to its original position.
But when she lowered her eyes and looked at the bottom of the cabinet, there was a yellow picture. She took the picture out and looked at it. Xiumei frowned, "is this a picture of a newborn baby?"
"Who is this?" Looking at the lower right corner of the yellow picture, there is a small note about the time of taking the picture, "the picture 28 years ago..."
"Is this baby Qi Rui?"
When mu Siyue was thinking, there was a sudden sound of eager footsteps outside the door, which quickly approached and reverberated in the whole corridor She was so surprised that she had no idea what to do with the red sandalwood box.Looking around, there is a figure walking in the door. Bad!
"How did the master bedroom door open?" A strange and simple male voice rang out in the room.
At the moment when the man stepped into the room, mu Siyue lifted the white cloth on the back sofa and quickly hid himself, holding his breath nervously.
God, pray that the other party doesn't come in again, otherwise he will definitely find something different.
"The white cloth on the sofa in the bedroom seems to be shaking..." Another voice with curiosity, the steps straight toward mu Siyue.
Mu Siyue's heart panicked. Damn, the man's look was so far away
What should we do now? Damn it, there are no servants in the north courtyard. How can it be so unlucky!
I will jump out to explain, but how to explain, I broke into the north courtyard, Qi old man and Qi Rui will be very dissatisfied.
Just as mu Siyue was daydreaming, another elder servant reached out and grabbed another curious young man, "don't go in. This is the bedroom where our master lived. We can't go in at will."
Looking at this spacious and luxurious bedroom, all the furniture is covered with white cloth. Because the windows are closed all the year round, the air is covered with dust, and there is a dull and gloomy feeling.
“…… Just now, the white cloth over there really fluttered The young man was like a room where he was afraid of the dead. His steps unconsciously shrank, but his eyes were still fixed on the direction of Mu Siyue.
"Otherwise, let's talk to the housekeeper. Besides, when we come in, the door downstairs is unlocked. If someone comes in to steal something unkindly..."
"Don't say it!" The older man yelled at him.
"Maybe you're wrong. I don't think there's anything else." The maid didn't dare to look directly at her, and she was perfunctory.
"Xiao Chen, if you want to work well in the Qi family, don't worry about the affairs of the North Hospital, especially ruishao. Don't mention it to him, or you will be dismissed. Unfortunately, you will have to be beaten and thrown out North courtyard this side downstairs gate is not locked, I also met several times, before ruishao often came over and didn't close the door
Listening to the elder's lesson, the other side asked curiously in a low voice, "is it ruishao that the study next door is so messy? I thought it was a burglar. "
"Come on, we ordinary people of Qi family can't get in, even if we steal it, we won't come to the north courtyard..."
As he said this, the servant turned to look over at the study and murmured, "ruishao came over on the night of the Lantern Festival this year, and the thunder broke the master's study. Before, ruishao had a good relationship with the master, but who knows what happened? I dare not say a word about it In a word, the North hospital does not know anything. "
At last, the two glanced around the gloomy room and quickly locked the door.
Mu Siyue lifted up the white cloth and came out of the sofa with a sigh, "fortunately, they are too timid to come in..."
But when the sight fell on the locked dead man's bedroom, his heart still shivered.
Get out of here!
Because the pattern of Beiyuan villa is the same as that of Dongyuan villa where she lives now, mu Siyue is quite familiar with it. He directly opens the large glass door and goes to the balcony. He carefully climbs the water pipe on the wall and slides down the water pipe.
Looking around, there was no one and immediately ran away.
"Why do you look like a thief? What's that in your hand?"
Just as mu Siyue hurried back to the east courtyard, he happened to meet Mo Xiangwan in the hall of the east courtyard.
Hearing Mo Xiangwan ask about the things in his hand, mu Siyue suddenly regained his mind. She almost pinched and wrinkled the yellow photo on his right hand, "no, nothing." She held the picture tightly behind her and raised a reluctant smile.
"There are no rules. It's impolite for me to see you like this..." Mo Xiangwan taught her a lesson, as if unwilling to chat with her, turned and left directly.
"I was so nervous just now that I brought this picture out..." Mu Siyue saw Mo leave in the evening, looked up in the direction of the north courtyard, a chill in his heart, "as if I don't know, I don't want to go back to that gloomy place."
Mu Siyue just heard what the servant said. He said that Qi Rui was furious in the study of Qi Nanyuan on the night of the Lantern Festival this year. He looked down at the picture of a baby 28 years ago, and his heart was blocked.
"This year's Lantern Festival..." As she walked, she thought and murmured. Suddenly, her feet stopped and her face was shocked. "This year's Lantern Festival is the night when I gave birth prematurely!"
"Qi Rui, I want to ask you..."
Mu Siyue thought for an afternoon, and finally couldn't help it, so he decided to call him and ask him clearly.
"I'm in a meeting. I won't go home for dinner tonight..." Qi Rui doesn't give her a chance to talk. She seems very busy, so she hangs up.
Mu Siyue is used to his busyness and ignores himself. He sits on the bed with his knees crossed. Suddenly, his face is dignified, he purses his lips tightly, grabs his bag quickly and hides this old picture.
It can't be mentioned with Qi Rui for the time being. He is always sensitive to his father's business. Maybe you can ask Qi about the red sandalwood box and this photoBut it backfired. The next day, mu Siyue went back to the company. Last night, she hinted that she asked Qi about Qi Nanyuan, but there was no clue.
Maybe even Mr. Qi didn't know that there was a wooden box carved with strange manzhushahua red sandalwood, which had been hidden in the master bedroom of the north courtyard.
What's in the red sandalwood box?
