After giving the rice cake to Songzi, Liu Yunxiang returned to Nanhonglou.

She asked Zijin to keep an eye on the scholar. There were no clues for the past two days.

On this day, Liu Yunxiang first went to Nanmo Zhai for a walk, then came to Jingchuan Garden, and saw such a scene in the backyard.

Yan Mu was sitting on the steps with her hair disheveled, her face pale and her eyes half-squinted. In front of him stood a woman, dressed in red and green, holding a jar of wine in her hand.

She uncorked the wine jar and shook it under Yan Mu's nose.

"Does it smell good? Do you want to drink it?"

Yan Mu stared at the jar of wine, and there was a trace of ripples like a dry well.

This woman is Haitang, the oiran of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

She covered her mouth and laughed, pretending to be Yan Mu, holding the wine jar and shaking it in front of him, but not letting him drink.

"Tsk tsk, look at this little face. Even with a scar on the left side of his face, even with a sick face, he is still pretty. His eyebrows are as sharp as a knife, full of masculinity, and I have grown up in my heart. His phoenix eyes are so beautiful that they can seduce the soul.

Po. And these lips, if they are too thick they are too vulgar, if they are too thin they are too modest, so they are easy to kiss."

Haitang said, her smile became more joyful, and her branches trembled wildly.

"No, I brought you wine specially."

Haitang held the wine jar and brought it to Yan Mu. When he reached out to take it, he ducked aside.

"Let me kiss you, and this wine is yours."

Yan Mu's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and then he raised his head to look at Haitang, his phoenix eyes showing a bit of coldness.

"There's no reason to drink for nothing, right?" Haitang pursed her lips and said.

Liu Yunxiang walked forward with an angry look, "I don't have any friendship at all, so I can't drink your wine in vain!"

With that said, Liu Yunxiang took out a piece of silver from his wallet, "Is that enough?"

When Haitang saw Liu Yunxiang, she chuckled, looked at the silver in her hand, and shrugged, "Silver is certainly a good thing, but I don't want it today. What do you think I should do?"

Liu Yunxiang gritted his teeth, "He is my man, no one can touch him!"

"So protective?"

"Nonsense, mine!"

Haitang saw that Liu Yunxiang was protecting the person behind him tightly, as if he was afraid that someone might steal him away. He turned his head and looked at Yan Mu. He lowered his eyes, but looked indifferent.

At this time, Chongming came over with a small wooden sword. When he saw Haitang, he hurriedly approached her.

"Sister, my master just wants to drink the wine you brewed. Give it to him quickly."

Haitang turned to look at Chongming and snorted, "Isn't he your father anymore?"

Chongming blinked, "Once a teacher, always a father!"

"Oh, in this case, let your sister treat you to a sip, and she will give this wine to your master, okay?"

"What's this?"

Chongming turned his head sideways and pointed at his fair and tender face, "Sister, please kiss me."

Liu Yunxiang covered his eyes, unable to bear to watch this scene.

"Is it okay to kiss the little mouth?"

"Okay!"

One chirp, another chirp, another chirp...

Liu Yunxiang counted secretly. When he could no longer hear the sound, he looked over and saw Haitang leaning in Chongming's arms with a very shy face. Chongming's mouth was moist and bright. He held Haitang in one hand and smiled so stupidly.

.

"Ten jars of wine, Miss Haitang, please don't cheat. This is what our family got from Chongming at the expense of his appearance." Liu Yunxiang coughed dryly.

Haitang glared at Liu Yunxiang, "You are so embarrassed!"

Liu Yunxiang snatched the jar of wine from Haitang's hand and turned around to give it to Yan Mu. When he turned around, he found Hongzhu standing a few steps away, looking at Haitang with a gloomy face.

Her master must have been taken advantage of, so he should be angry.

I saw Hongzhu walking over and glaring at Haitang, "Whenever the master wakes up, he will definitely kill you!"

Haitang hugged Chongming, looking reluctant to let go, "Don't you know, I am willing to die in his hands."

"Master doesn't like you!"

"Yes, so I can only take advantage of this moment to kiss Fangze." As she said that, Haitang held Zhongming's face and kissed him again, "Look, he is so good. It's not like that time when he looked at me with disgust and killed him in a row.

It even makes me feel dirty."

Chongming looked at Haitang in confusion, "Sister, what are you talking about?"

"Sister said she likes you."

"I like my sister too."

Haitang was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "It would be great if he could be crazy and stupid for the rest of his life."

Under Hongzhu's glare, Haitang left with a smile.

Liu Yunxiang realized later, "She and you have known each other for a long time?"

Hongzhu coaxed Chongming a few words and let him go outside to play, and then said angrily: "Like me, she was originally the master's maid. But she secretly fell in love with the master, and the master kicked her away when he found out.

Already."

That was the case. Liu Yunxiang clicked his tongue: "Then why did she get to Xiaoxiang Pavilion?"

"I only found out after the master and I returned to Jin'an from Dayong. I gave her money to redeem her life, but she didn't want it. She would rather stay in that place."

"Why?"

Hongzhu paused for a while and said: "The master called her a mean person. She said that liking someone is not a mean person, but the master cannot be wrong, so she left herself to become such a mean person."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Are you crazy?"

Even if you don't get love, you can't abuse yourself!

After Hongzhu left, Liu Yunxiang looked back and saw that Yan Mu had finished the jar of wine and was drowsy. She bent down to help him up and helped him lie down in the back room.

"Your injuries haven't healed yet. You need to lie down for a few more days."

She covered him with the quilt and saw that he had closed his eyes. He was wearing the clothes she gave him. They fit him well at the time, but now they are a little loose.

He lost some weight again.

Liu Yunxiang touched his face distressedly, feeling helpless to save him.

How to save a lifeless person? She originally thought that she was his medicine, but obviously she was not. In fact, she was even poison.

She went up and kissed him anyway, and he opened his eyes, but his eyes were dead, without any emotion.

"At least you're not disgusted, right?" She smiled, saying this just to comfort herself.

He closed his eyes again, not knowing whether he recognized this sentence or not.

Liu Yunxiang sat cross-legged on the bed. He didn't speak, so she could talk alone. After chatting for a while, she talked about what happened in Nanhong Mansion recently. She talked about vines and Anhong, and said that she had found a clue about the scholar.

Maybe I'm secretly smelling the scent of vines.

When her mouth was dry after talking, she found that Yan Mu was still fast asleep.

She covered him with a quilt and then left.

Back at Nanhonglou, Zijin was devouring his meal.

When he saw her coming back, he took a gulp and said: "Girl, I followed Chen Hou early this morning and found that he went to the temple on the mountain. He went out from the back door of the temple and entered a very hidden village. I climbed the wall and went in.

The guards there are quite tight, and when I touched the backyard, what do you think I found?"

"What?"

"There are many rooms in the backyard, and people are burning incense in there, which is the kind of vine incense. Some people just took off their clothes and walked around in the yard, looking like they were in heaven. Some people had disheveled hair.

There were some who were reciting poems with crazy expressions, some were writing articles, and some were painting. There were also some, ahem, entangled with women. Anyway, people who have smoked the incense have been in a state of madness for a period of time. After that, I looked for him behind the village.

A field with creepers growing there."
