Dou Chengfang muttered, pushed Chu Tianshu aside and walked towards the warehouse.
Others followed.
Chu Tianshu didn't worry too much. He had already returned to his original state at the entrance of the secret passage. If he could be discovered so easily, he would have been discovered long ago.
Xiaobai was put on the ground, still wagging his tail and circling around Chu Tianshu. Wherever Chu Tianshu went, he would follow him.
Dou Chengfang walked around the warehouse twice, but couldn't find any clues.
Seeing Jian Qingxuan looking at him, Chu Tianshu chuckled and said, "Look at the mess here, there's no place for you to sit."
Jian Qingxuan said: "It doesn't matter."
Chu Tianshu found that this eldest lady was quite easy to talk to and did not have any arrogance about her.
Zhan Pingyuan stood aside silently, glancing at Jian Qingxuan from time to time, and then quickly looking away before Jian Qingxuan noticed his gaze.
After Chu Tianshu noticed it, he suddenly felt contempt.
This guy is really a man of all ages, hooking up with the city lord's daughter-in-law who is a mature woman, and at the same time he is still thinking about the city lord's granddaughter.
Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the door.
At the same time, there was Qingqing's voice: "Miss, the manager is here."
Jian Qingxuan and others walked out.
Before they could go out, three people came in outside the door.
The leader was an old man with a goatee, who was the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion, Jian Yun.
Qingqing followed behind with a low eyebrow.
It can be seen that she is very afraid of this old man.
In fact, this is indeed the case. There are no servants in the entire City Lord's Mansion who are not afraid of Jian Yun.
In fact, even the eldest lady Jian Qingxuan would feel some inexplicable pressure when meeting Jian Yun.
Jian Yun is a descendant of the Jian family. Because of his intelligence, he was selected by the previous head of the family. Since childhood, he has accompanied brothers Jian Xilai and Jian Xizhou to practice martial arts and study.
If you want to ask who the current lord of Jusword City, Jian Xilai, trusts the most, apart from his brother Jian Xizhou, it is definitely Jian Yun.
Jian Yun bowed to Jian Qingxuan respectfully: "Miss."
Although he was highly regarded by the city, he always kept his position very upright and was never arrogant.
Jian Qingxuan also bowed respectfully and called out: "Grandpa Yun."
Jian Yun asked: "What are your orders, Miss?"
Jian Yun barely hesitated and refused directly: "Miss, our city lord's palace has rules. People like him who have been in the palace for less than ten years are not qualified to work in the inner house as an errand."
He has an excellent memory, and he is responsible for this aspect, so he usually pays attention to it. He has been working in the city lord's mansion for ten years, even if he is not familiar with it, he will have some impressions.
Before Jian Qingxuan could speak, Dou Chengfang said first, "Can't we make an exception?"
Jian Yun glanced at Dou Chengfang lightly and shook his head.
Seeing this, Chu Tianshu breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't really get him into the inner chamber, then it won't be that easy for him to explore the secret passage again.
Dou Chengfang still refused to give up, pointed at Chu Tianshu and said: "He is very good at raising pet animals..."
Jian Yun didn't hear what she had to say, so he interrupted: "Miss Dou, the City Lord's Mansion has the rules of the City Lord's Mansion."
Dou Chengfang frowned and said, "But..."
Zhan Pingyuan shouted in a deep voice: "Junior sister, this is the rule of the city lord's mansion, don't embarrass the manager."
Only then did Dou Chengfang shut up.
Jian Qingxuan said politely: "Grandpa Yun, please go ahead."
"good."
Jian Yun smiled slightly and retreated.
Qingqing sighed, looked at Jian Qingxuan and said, "Miss, what should I do?"
Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up: "How about we keep Xiaobai?"
"Stay? Stay here?" Dou Chengfang looked at the environment in the warehouse with disgust on his face, "Is this a place for people to stay?"
Chu Tianshu still had a low-brow look, but he was already scolding in his heart.
The uncle's place is not a place for human beings? Aren't I a human being?
Besides, that little white thing is not a human, right?
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Dou Chengfang's statement, Chu Tianshu still hoped that Jian Qingxuan would deny Qingqing's proposal.
If you really want to keep that little thing, these people will definitely run here from time to time. How can he cause trouble?
What left Chu Tianshu speechless was that Jian Qingxuan actually agreed: "I think it can be considered."
Chu Tianshu said hurriedly: "Miss, you can't."
He lowered his head and glanced at the little thing that was tearing at his pants again: "Your pet is precious, I'm afraid that something will happen to me. I can't afford this responsibility."
Jian Qingxuan said lightly: "It doesn't matter, you just need to feed it well every day, and Qingqing will take care of the rest."
Chu Tianshu said: "Miss..."
Zhan Pingyuan, who was standing next to him, interrupted with a cold snort: "As long as the lady says it's okay, where did you come up with so much nonsense?"
"Yes yes yes."
Chu Tianshu responded with his mouth, gave Zhan Pingyuan a cold side glance, and said to himself: When I finish my business, you will cry.
At this moment, a figure flashed past the door.
Chu Tianshu glanced at it and saw that it looked like a bird.
However, she probably saw someone inside, so she didn't come in.
Quack...quack...
The phoenix came out with its wings flashing.
Chu Tianshu looked helpless.
Since this guy lost his temper last time, Chu Tianshu didn't dare to tie it up again. At this moment, he kept praying in his heart that the phoenix would wait until Jian Qingxuan and others left before coming out. Unexpectedly, it still came out.
When Xiaobai saw it, he immediately waggled his tail and approached the Phoenix.
The phoenix's wings flashed and it flew up onto the shelf, looking very disgusted.
Jian Qingxuan and others looked at the Phoenix curiously.
Qingqing said: "What is this? I have never seen it before."
Chu Tianshu said hurriedly: "This is my pet."
"Your pet?" Qingqing approached curiously, "What kind of bird is this?"
Chu Tianshu said: "I don't know, I picked it up in the forest before."
Seeing Qingqing getting closer and closer, and the Phoenix already sticking out its butt, Chu Tianshu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Don't get close, be careful it sprays shit on your face."
He was afraid that the phoenix would reveal those unusual features, and what if Jian Qingxuan and others took notice of it?
Upon hearing Chu Tianshu's words, Qingqing hurriedly backed away.
Xiaobai also ran up the shelf and got close to the Phoenix.
Seeing this, the phoenix flapped its wings and flew to another shelf.
Xiaobai also jumped on the shelf and chased the phoenix.
Seeing the Phoenix and Xiaobai chasing each other, Jian Qingxuan showed a thoughtful expression and suddenly asked: "Has Xiaobai played with your bird before?"
Qingqing immediately understood what Jian Qingxuan meant and said, "Did Xiao Bai Lao run here just to play with this bird?"
Chu Tianshu said hurriedly: "No, no, I haven't seen them before."
