The night sky was always clear and high in the middle of summer. Stars were floating in the middle of the river, and the silver light was so resplendent that it was intoxicating.

Under the starlight, Cheng Yu and Zheng Xueyu sat on a stone bench in the bamboo forest. They admired the moon, looked at the stars, and tasted the fine wine.

"It's been a while since I've been so relaxed." Cheng Yu put the sweet osmanthus wine into his mouth with a smile on his face.

For the past few months, for the College Entrance Examination, Zheng had been tense and never relaxed. Fortunately, he got good grades in the end and now drank wine under the moon with ease. He also felt very unbridled.

It was just that after drinking a cup of wine, he thought of home, and a tinge of worry appeared on his face.

"Are you still worried about your family?" Cheng Yu could tell at a glance.

Sighing, Zheng put down the cup and said, "Yesterday, after you told me about my second aunt, I wrote a letter to my father. My father already knows that my second aunt was abandoned, but he doesn't know anything else. What I'm worried about is …"

"You don't have to worry." Cheng Yu leisurely poured a glass of wine, put it on his nose and sniffed, "If your second aunt, Jin Xiaodie, comes to find me again, of course, I know what I'm doing."

Zheng stopped after hearing that.

The moonlight shining on Cheng Yu's face made him look even more handsome. He said with a smile, "I expected you to be indecisive and indecisive, so I have already come up with a plan. You don't have to bother about this matter, it won't be difficult for you to continue."

Hearing his words, Zheng asked with a frown, "What are your plans?"

Cheng Yu revealed an ambiguous smile.

At this moment, the errand boy suddenly ran over, out of breath. He stopped in front of Cheng Yu and held his waist as he gasped for air.

"What's wrong with you?" What does it look like? " Cheng Yu frowned and stood up.

The errand boy felt slightly better, and hurriedly said, "Young master, it's bad! The Old Master sent someone to interrogate your subordinate on how you discipline him, and also sent word that if you can't even discipline your own follower well, then don't meddle in your family's business in the future, and also don't need to take the exam for your name.

What happened? Why was he so strict? The meaning of these words was close to being harsh.

Cheng Yu could almost imagine the expression and tone of Cheng Feng when he said this, but what he couldn't understand was that his father had always advocated elegance, so why did he suddenly become so mean?

"What is going on?" Cheng Yu asked.

The errand boy shook his head, indicating that he was also confused. He endured the pain from the intense exercise and said, "The messenger didn't tell me what happened, only that he was carrying a letter from Master, but he refused to give it to me. He insisted on handing it to you personally."

The bookkeeper Wang had always been by his side ever since Cheng Yu started his studies. Cheng Feng knew this, so there was no reason for him to not trust Wang Yuan.

Unless... Something big had really happened, which was why his father was so careful!

Cheng Yu frowned with a serious expression.

Zheng was on good terms with him and knew that he was elegant and easy-going. Something extraordinary must have happened to his expression. He said, "Brother Cheng, go back and check. Don't make the messenger wait."

Cheng Yu nodded and no longer said anything more. She led Wang Yuan and quickly returned.

Arriving at his own small courtyard, he saw a guard standing in the courtyard. The man in black had short sleeves and a bulging upper body. It seemed that he was slightly out of tune with his lower body as he carried a large saber on his broad back.

The moment Cheng Yu saw the uniform, her pupils immediately constricted. Her father had actually ordered the secret guards of the Cheng family to personally take action, just to pass on the message and deliver the letter!

What was going on? A rare trace of unease rose in Cheng Yu's heart.

As soon as Cheng Yu approached him, he could feel that the guard was using inner force. He turned around and bowed to Cheng Yu, "Young Master Yu, the lord wants me to deliver a letter to you. He also wants you to reply as soon as you have finished reading the letter."

As he spoke, he took out a bamboo tube and passed it to Cheng Yu.

Wang Yuan, who was standing behind Cheng Yu, did not know much about the secret guard. He only thought that it was an ordinary guard, but he had heard some rumors about the bamboo tube.

Rumor had it that whenever a disaster occurred within a family or a major event that threatened the family, they would send someone to spread the news through the bamboo tube. Could this bamboo tube be the kind of bamboo tube that was mentioned in the rumors?

Wang Yuan curiously stretched his neck, but was blocked by the tyrannical guard. He reached out his hand to push him, but the guard did not move at all.

At this time, Cheng Yu had already taken out a letter from the bamboo tube and was walking towards the house.

The errand boy quickly followed. Once again, he was blocked by the guards, causing him to widen his eyes in anger. "What are you doing? Get out of my way. "

The guard stood there without making a sound, not moving at all.

The candles in the room burned quietly. In order to be able to read the words on the letter clearly, Cheng Yu had lit up two more lamps. He was standing next to the candles with the letter in his hand.

Looking at him, the usually gentle and refined face sank.

Finally, he placed the letter in the candle flame and lit it up, after confirming that it had completely turned into ashes, he quickly walked to the desk and wrote a few lines of words on the white paper. Before the ink had completely dried up, he stuffed the white paper into the bamboo tube and handed it over to the secret guard in the courtyard.

The secret guard took the bamboo tube, clasped his hands, and left with large strides.

Half a cup of tea had been blocked by the secret guard, Wang Yuan angrily walked over to Cheng Yu and complained, "Young master, that guard was too rude. I recited your reply, so I wanted to go in and grind the ink for you."

"Shut up!" Cheng Yu's gaze was stern, and his body no longer had its usual gentle aura.

Wang Yuan was startled. The young master was really angry, even if he got reprimanded by the old master, wouldn't that be enough?

What was going on?

He muttered in his heart, but did not dare to say another word.

Cheng Yu closed his eyes, dispelling the rising and falling emotions in his heart.

Wang Yuan did not know anything about what happened at home. Just now he was thinking for himself, he should not have gotten angry.

When he opened his eyes again, Cheng Yu was as gentle as ever.

"Go!" Get me Wang Mu! " he ordered.

This guy, Wang Mu, has always been very free. Who knows where he will go, and maybe he won't even be in the Academy. He pointed at his nose and said, "Young Master, it's already dark. I'm afraid it's not easy to find. "

He raised his head to look at the sky. Cheng Yu had been reminded by Wang Yuan, so he had a clear mind. Wang Mu had made such a big deal, he definitely wouldn't dare to come back, and since he had the time, it wouldn't be easy to find him.

Thus, Cheng Yu called a few more people to go find Wang Mu. Basically, he sent out all of the followers he brought into the academy.
