"Is this the real rose?" An Yimo looked at it strangely.

Fifth Uncle nodded his head, "Yes, this real rose is very precious, it is hard to raise, but after blooming, the flowers cannot be preserved either, unlike the mutated rose that is sold at the flower shop, it is easy to feed, and it can also be preserved for a few days without falling, but it is a flower suitable for business, it is different from this rose."

An Yimo nodded, raised her thumb, and said to Fifth Uncle: "Fifth Uncle, you are truly amazing."

Fifth Uncle grinned, An Yimo took another sip of tea and asked curiously: "Why do I feel that it's a little sweet?"

The rose tea had an astringent taste, but within the tea, there was the fragrance of fruits. It concealed the astringent taste of roses slightly. It was sweet, yet not greasy. It quenched the thirst, and after drinking it, the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth.

"Young Madam's tongue is truly spiritual." Fifth Uncle smiled and said, "This was soaked in honey."

"Honey?" An Yimo asked.

Using honey in the warm rose tea was a great way to keep your face and lungs warm. An Yimo knew this, but the honey sold outside was not so tasty.

Fifth Uncle said somewhat proudly: "These are not the honey sold at the supermarket. These are my hometown's wild mountain honey, but … The next time I go back to my hometown, bring some for Young Madam to drink. That is better than whatever makeup Young Madam uses. "

An Yimo laughed: "Thank you, Fifth Uncle."

Fifth Uncle poured An Yimo another cup of tea and said, "Young Madam, drink another cup."

An Yimo nodded and continued to drink two cups.

After finishing the tea, he stood up and said: "Fifth Uncle, then I'll be leaving first. I took both the tea and tea, sorry about it."

As he spoke, he waved the glass jar in his hand with a smile.

Fifth Uncle laughed and shook his head, saying: "Young Madam is too polite, if you do not mind, it would be my old man's honor."

An Yimo nodded, but just as he was about to leave, she unintentionally looked down, to see a red object pressed down under the big tree root tea table they were sitting on.

"Eh?" An Yimo weirdly exclaimed as she squatted down. Lowering her head, she saw that the red object seemed to be the little red bag that was wrapped around her little jade pendant.

"Xiao Ai, can you help me lift it up? I'll pick it up." An Yimo tugged twice, but seeing that she did not loosen up, he immediately said.

"Oh, oh, good!" Xiao Ai and Fifth Uncle immediately raised up together, An Yimo took out the small bag that was partially deformed. Her expression changed: "It's really my thing, but it's just that … Why are we here? "

As she spoke, her eyes looked at Fifth Uncle with some doubt.

Very few people would come here, it could be considered the Fifth Uncle's private territory.

However, how could the thing she lost be here?

Could it be … The person who stole her jade pendant, was it Fifth Uncle?

Fifth Uncle had a very serious fear of heights. Normally, they wouldn't even dare to go up the stairs, so why would they go to the second floor to steal things?

Moreover, Fifth Uncle's feet were all covered in mud. If he went upstairs, there would definitely be an imprint left behind.

More importantly, the Fifth Uncle was good at growing flowers, he was a very meticulous person, he would not leave the small bag here, and the jade pendant had landed in the pavilion outside.

Then, what was going on?

Seeing the doubt in An Yimo's eyes, Fifth Uncle became a little nervous and hurriedly explained: "Young Madam, this, I don't know how I came to this place, but believe me, I definitely did not steal anything."

He was very anxious. He kept shaking his hands and his voice was getting stronger.

"No worries!" An Yimo shook her head, smiled and said to Fifth Uncle: "Fifth Uncle, I do not suspect you, do not be nervous."

"Young Madam, I really do not have a... I don't know what's going on. " Although An Yimo had already said it like that, she still did not seem to be at ease. She hurriedly explained to An Yimo: "About this … Young Madam, if it were me, I wouldn't even invite Young Madam in. "

"Fifth Uncle, don't be nervous, I won't suspect anything." An Yimo laughed involuntarily. Just now, she did indeed have a little suspicion that it was the Fifth Uncle, but after thinking about it for a moment, she felt that the possibility was too low and decided to make her own guess.

"Really, really?" Fifth Uncle looked at An Yimo nervously.

An Yimo nodded, and said: "Don't worry Fifth Uncle, I really don't suspect you."

Seeing An Yimo's serious face, Fifth Uncle heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "That's good, Young Madam doesn't doubt me, that's for the best."

"Fifth Uncle, don't worry, Young Madam won't suspect you. It's possible for anyone to be from your family, so it's the last thing on your mind right now." Xiao Ai also quickly spoke up for Fifth Uncle.

Fifth Uncle's flowers were very beautiful, and would usually give Xiao Ai's maids and maids some pretty flowers that were stuck in the rooms and raised on the bedside. Therefore, the maids at home would take good care of this lonely old man, Fifth Uncle, who was inconvenient.

And thus, he naturally spoke up for the Fifth Uncle.

"That's good, that's good." Fifth Uncle was finally relieved.

"Fifth Uncle, this … Do you find out that you've been here for the past few days? Have you noticed? " An Yimo asked.

To be honest, she had not paid much attention to that jade pendant ever since she had obtained it. As such, she herself did not know what was lost, so she could only ask Fifth Uncle.

The Fifth Uncle shook his head and said, "I really didn't notice, but … "Yesterday morning, I washed the whole greenhouse with water. Your little bag doesn't seem to have any marks on it …"

The floor of the flower room was filled with cement. Although it was very clean, it was still a place to grow flowers and there would inevitably be some dirty mud. Every once in a while, Fifth Uncle would wash the floor with water to ensure that the room was moist.

There was mud here, and Fifth Uncle had washed it with water last night. So, if it was here yesterday, this red cloth bag would definitely have water stains or mud marks. But now, this red bag only had one mark on it that was pressed down by the table.

"That should have been after yesterday's work before coming here." An Yimo thought for a while, then asked Fifth Uncle: "Fifth Uncle, other than you, has anyone else been to the flower room?"

"No!" The Fifth Uncle shook her head and said: "It's just that last night, Xiao Ai went to the entrance to receive a pot of daffodil flowers, saying that she wanted to change the rooms of Young Madam and Young Madam. But Xiao Ai didn't come in, other than her …"

As the Fifth Uncle spoke, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, right, Rong Jinhai came to the flower room before."

"Uncle Rong?" An Yimo was shocked, Rong Jinhai driving the car?

"Yeah, his back hurt a little these few days. Other than the cooks, the servants in the house are all young ladies, and the cooks' hands are oily, so …" He comes in every day and asks me to help him knead his medicine. " Fifth Uncle said, then shook his head and said, "However, Old Rong is not that kind of person, he would not steal things from Young Madam."

An Yimo frowned. Rong Jinhai was a very responsible, yet serious middle-aged man, and on the surface, it was indeed impossible for him to steal An Yimo's jade pendant.

An Yimo hesitated for a moment, then said: "Fifth Uncle, I understand. I'll just casually ask, it's not anything important, you don't need to take it to heart."

An Yimo said as she walked out.

At the Flower Room's entrance, she raised her head and just happened to be able to see the window of the loft …

The curtains at the window were tightly sealed, allowing them to see the position. If a light was lit inside, it would be very easy to see it from this angle …

An Yimo frowned, and said to the Fifth Uncle who had escorted her to the door: "Fifth Uncle, you can go back first, relax, it's nothing much, just a small matter."

"Alright, alright. Young Madam, take care." Fifth Uncle made up his mind and walked back.

"Young Madam, are we sending you back to your room now?" The Xiao Ai said.

"Xiao Ai, don't bring up today's matter, including this Young Master, do you know?" After walking two steps, An Yimo saw that there was no one around, and turned to look at Xiao Ai, his face serious as she spoke.

Xiao Ai nodded, and said: "Understood, Young Madam."

"Young Madam, where are you going?" Seeing An Yimo walk towards the direction of the garage, the Xiao Ai followed him curiously.

An Yimo's face darkened as she said coldly: "Let's go look at Uncle Rong. Didn't Fifth Uncle say his back was in pain?"

"Ah?" "Oh!" The Xiao Ai nodded, seeing An Yimo's serious expression, she did not dare ask anymore and followed along.

The two of them walked to the garage just as Rong Jinhai walked in.

"Young Madam? Would you like to use the car? " Rong Jinhai was startled, and then reacted.

"No." An Yimo shook her head and said to Rong Jinhai: "Uncle Rong, I heard your back is hurting, I came to see you."

Oh, it's just a small matter. Rong Jinhai said without changing his expression.

An Yimo looked at Rong Jinhai's eyes seriously and realized that his expression was very normal, there wasn't the slightest bit of abnormality.

I heard that when Rong Jinhai was in the army with Ye Yuanbin, he was a scout of the scout camp.

Thinking about the direction of the pavilion that she saw at the entrance of the flower room, An Yimo thought, could it be … Rong Jinhai had already been bought off by the Long family, so what did the disappearance of this jade pendant have to do with Ye Yiqing or his background?

"Uncle Rong, you have recently... "What's everyone up to?" An Yimo asked again.

In the past few days, almost no one used Rong Jinhai's Ye Family and when they went out, Ye Tiancheng himself drove.

"I'm not busy with anything. My back is injured, so I've been resting at home for the past few days." Rong Jinhai said in a serious tone: "Young Madam, do you have something to say to me?"

As expected of a scout, his observation skills are very strong!

An Yimo's eyes flashed, and said to Rong Jinhai: "Uncle Rong, how did you get your back injured? "He's fine at home, how could he …"

Rong Jinhai laughed bitterly and said: "I was distracted with Young Master at the gym, so I was injured by him … It's a good thing that it's not too serious. Otherwise, these old bones of mine would have died. "
