"Uncle Zhang, has grandpa seen anyone recently?" An Qian carefully observed the map as he inquired.
Zhang You Long thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, unless Third Young Master comes to visit grandpa a while back."
"Grandfather said that she has been addicted to sleeping recently. Since when did this phenomenon start?" As such, he casually placed the book back in its original place.
Zhang You Long said: "Seems like it started shortly after you left." Pausing, he then asked, "By the way, Second Young Madam, what did you go out with Second Young Master for?"
"Ye Han is injured. He was afraid that grandpa would be worried, so he didn't come back. He stayed outside to recuperate."
"Is it serious?" The anxiety on Zhang Youlong's face did not seem fake.
"It's almost done." An Qian also held back with her words.
Ye Han had told her that there was a spy in the old mansion. However, he did not say who it was. In other words, although he was suspicious, he was not sure. Therefore, it was better for her to be careful.
But then again, Uncle Zhang was someone Mo Yeyan brought over from Clear Water Garden. It was impossible for him to reach an agreement with Mo Yong Zhong and the others in such a short period of time.
Moreover, Uncle Zhang was born into the Shaolin Temple. He was a loyal and heroic man, so how could he do such a thing?
An Shuang came to the master bedroom where Mo Xu was sleeping. The old man's resting area was decorated very simply and elegantly. It could be seen that Mo Qiuyi was a very tasteful old man.
The value of Mo Cangyi's heart could only be described in tens of billions. This kind of person who laid on top of money didn't turn his life into a luxurious one. If others didn't know him, they would only think him to be an ordinary old man, with the same kind and benevolent nature as the old man.
The quilt, pillow, and sheets on the bed were all neatly arranged. Especially the sheets, which were so neat that they didn't have the slightest crease. The old man had a desire for the fineness of life.
She pulled up the bedsheets and blankets, but found nothing unusual.
But when she pulled back the pillow, she found that the pillowcase seemed a bit thick. Even if the pillow was thicker, it would make a person's pillow feel very comfortable. However, An Qian felt that something was amiss.
Mo Qiuyi was a very strict person, and he hated those kind of sloppy behavior the most. He was also very demanding of himself. He would not choose such a comfortable pillow.
Her hand went to the zipper of the pillowcase, but she couldn't open it. He took a closer look and found that he had been sewn to death. She told Uncle Zhang to find the scissors and cut the pillowcase open. Only then did she realize that there were a dozen small bags of transparent things inside.
"Uncle Zhang, what's this?" Ann asked.
Uncle Zhang took one of the bags and asked in a serious tone, "Second Young Madam, this bag is colorless and tasteless. I am not sure."
Upon hearing this, An shallowly used a pair of scissors to cut open a small bag. She first sniffed it, then passed it to Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang picked it up and brought it to his nose. Suddenly, his face changed greatly, "Second Young Madam, this is mercury!"
Mercury! It was like a bolt out of the blue.
She slowly said, "Those who eat mercury by mistake will very quickly die from exhaustion of their internal organs. However, if you keep these things by your pillow for a long time, it will result in your memory being impaired, your mind becoming muddled, and finally you will be able to cause your senile dementia syndrome and turn you into an idiot. "
Zhang You Long said anxiously: "Who exactly put these things in the Old Master's pillow?"
An Qian was burning with anxiety, so she suggested, "Uncle Zhang, let's not mention this matter, otherwise we might alert the enemy." Bring all these things to the Waterfir Courtyard, and wait for Ye Han to come back before making his decision. "
"Alright, I'll listen to you, second young mistress."
"Right now, the most important thing is to ensure grandfather's safety!"
That night, everything was peaceful at Waterwood Garden.
Before he went to sleep, An Qian once again glanced at the dark night breeze, then left after saying a few words to him.
The night was quiet … The owners of the main yard had all gone to sleep. A black shadow quietly left the old house of the Mo family.
The next day, An Qian woke up very early.
There were some things that were about to happen today. Sure enough, the first to arrive was the manager of the third branch, Mo Jingyuan.
"Third Uncle, why did you come to Aqua Tree Courtyard so early in the morning?" An Qian pretended to be surprised, but her smile was also very natural. Her words and actions did not lose out in her respect.
Mo Jingyuan walked into the hall and looked around before saying, "Qian Chao, tell third uncle, did you bring grandpa here to stay last night?"
"Yes sir!" An Qian admitted it openly.
"Nonsense!" This is nonsense! " When Mo Jingyuan heard this, he nearly jumped up from his chair. Putong, what are you trying to do? I used to think you were young, but there were some things I didn't want to say. You actually brought Grandpa here to stay … In such a big old residence of the Mo family, does grandpa not have a place to stay? "Now that Ye Han is not at home and if word of this gets out, where will you put the Mo family's face?"
Mo Jingyuan's reaction was exactly the same as An Qian had expected.
She was unhurried and continued to smile innocently, "Third Uncle, what are you talking about? "I don't understand."
"You — —" Mo Jinglian was about to run out of words.
"Third Uncle, everyone knows that Big Brother Ye Feng has always been living at Aqua Fir Garden. Why can't Big Bro do it and Big Grandpa do it? " An Qian asked with a smile still on her face.
"That's different." Mo Jingyuan said sincerely, "Qian Chao, everyone knows that Ye Feng is a fool, but he's still a vegetable. He …"
This sentence caused An Qian to be unhappy. She stood up with a trace of anger on her face and said, "Third uncle, I think you've misunderstood something." Elder Brother Ye Feng was not a fool. He was an honest, kind, and caring man. "Also, he is not a vegetable, he is just sleeping."
As An Qian said these words, her beautiful big eyes stared back at Mo Jinglian, neither servile nor overbearing. She didn't reveal the slightest bit of cowardice.
"Grandfather missed his grandson so he wanted to stay here for a few days. What? Is that not okay?"
Mo Jingyin's impression of An Qian was that she was very obedient. Whatever others said, she would nod her head obediently. She rarely had her own thoughts. But today, just now, he saw the wise and farsighted glimmer in this woman's eyes. He suddenly woke up from his stupor. He had never truly known An Qian before.
With an angry face, he said in a deep voice, "It's fine as long as you are messing around, but did Zhang You Long, who is by my grandfather's side, also messed around? Zhang Youlong, call him out for me. "
After which, he placed both of his hands on his waist, as though he was a senior.
