Chapter 087 A Thief

It was another sunny afternoon, and the spring scenery in Yufang Garden was beautiful.

Two little girls lazily swept the weeds and dust.

First it was haunted, then the third wife of Ming Dynasty was hanged, then the bones were found in the garden, and then the ghost appeared during the funeral... one after another, the Ming family was devastated.

When it was haunted, many people in Yu Fang Yuan had taken leave of absence, but now it is even more deserted.

While I was sweeping, someone came over in a hurry and I almost bumped into him.

"Be careful!" the servant woman scolded, "This is a gift from a noble man. I can't afford to sell you both!"

As he said this, he hugged the food box tightly, ignored them, and hurried away.

"Isn't the food in the food box just for food? How precious can it be? How stingy!" A little girl curled her lips.

The other one was thoughtful.

"Sister Fang'er, what's wrong?" The little girl was puzzled.

The girl named Fang'er said: "Xiaoxiang, haven't you heard?"

Xiaoxiang was confused by the meaningless words: "What did you hear?"

"A nobleman has taken a fancy to the young lady... Since it was sent by that nobleman, even if it is just some food, it must be a very valuable delicacy. We might not be able to afford the compensation if it is really sold."

"Oh." Xiaoxiang understood, "Sister, are you talking about Miss Awan's master?"

"Yes! I heard that Miss Awan is a first-rate celebrity next to that noble man. If he hadn't really taken a fancy to the young lady, why would he have been sent here?"

"So that's it!" Xiaoxiang suddenly realized, "I heard about it before, and I thought it was strange. It's not like the lady has no one to take care of her, so why would she send someone in? It seems that the noble man is really interested in the lady!"

Fang'er sighed, feeling very sad: "So what if you are interested? Doesn't this look like marrying a wife? Besides, the lady just went... I really don't know what the lady should do."

While the two were talking, there was a scolding from the other side: "Who told you to come in? Don't you have any rules in the Ming family? How dare you enter the house without being a close servant?"

The two little girls looked at each other and quietly walked closer.

Then they saw the servant girl who had just scolded them, bowing her head to Ah Wan: "I am too impatient and worried that the food brought by Young Master Yang will be cold, so..."

"You don't know how to ask someone to deliver it?" Ah Wan interrupted her and waved her hand impatiently, "Let's go, let's find someone else to deliver it later!"

"Yes..." The servant woman didn't dare to say a word, lowered her head and left.

When leaving, he glared at Fang'er and Xiaoxiang: "What are you looking at!"

Xiaoxiang was annoyed: "What does it have to do with us? Others scolded us, but they took it out on us!"

"Who called us little girls?" Fang'er was not angry. She glanced into the room and frowned again, "This girl Ah Wan has a bad temper. I wonder if she is the same with the young lady. It's really worrying.

.”

In the house, Mingwei had just woken up from his nap and came out yawning without even pulling his hair back.

"What's wrong, so angry?"

Ah Wan looked at the bowl of fish soup that was still in the food box and sneered: "I sneaked into the house and rummaged around when I wasn't paying attention. Isn't it amazing?"

Mingwei said lazily: "You are pretty good too, guarding the door so closely."

Ah Wan thought it was nothing at first, but when she thought about it more, she asked, "Did you mean something by what you said?"

Gatekeeper, what is the most powerful gatekeeper?

Mingwei waved her hand: "You are a little girl, can you stop thinking so much and praise you properly? It must be understood like that."

"Really?" Ah Wan was very doubtful.

Ever since she came to Ming's house, she felt that she had become particularly suspicious.

This man always spoke in a serious manner. If you think about it carefully, it seemed like he was swearing, but she just didn't recognize him.

"Next time, tell your young master to stop sending random things," Mingwei said, taking the water Duofu handed him and rinsing his mouth, "Be careful here and give people a chance over there."

"Don't be ungrateful! Young master is doing this just to make them believe that he is protecting you!"

"Don't come here." Mingwei exposed her, "He did this just to force them to take action. He couldn't steal it again and again, so he wanted to force them to rob it!"

Ah Wan said confidently: "Forcing them to reveal their true colors as soon as possible will save us some trouble, right?"

Mingwei nodded while cleaning his face: "That makes sense."

This was confirmed at night.

Ah Wan got up at night and suddenly heard a noise outside.

She put on her robe and ran out, only to see a shadow moving away quickly.

She sneered: "How dare you do this little trick in front of my aunt!"

As he said that, he raised his arms a few times and flew forward quickly.

There were many flowers, plants and trees in Yu Fong Garden, which somewhat obstructed her view.

But it just takes more time.

Ah Wan shuttled among the flowers, looked at the target, raised her arm, and flew out the arrow from her sleeve.

"Seize it!" There was a sound, and the arrow in his sleeve nailed the thing to the tree.

Ah Wan walked around the flowers and used the moonlight to see the object clearly, and frowned.

Straw rope! The thing she had been chasing for so long turned out to be a straw rope!

This is to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

Ah Wan pulled out the arrow from her sleeve and turned around to go back to the house.

When she returned, she saw the wide open window.

Ah Wan saw it, but was not in a hurry. When he entered the house, he saw broken machine parts scattered under the window, and was stunned.

Without hesitation, she touched her waist, pulled out a very thin short blade, and walked in carefully.

There was a sound of sound coming from inside. Is it the thief?

It’s good that you haven’t left yet!

She held the short blade tightly, looked at the position, and was about to take action——

"Don't move." A familiar voice sounded, "I am a weak woman, but my martial arts skills are not as good as yours, Miss Awan. I will fall down after being stabbed with a knife."

Ah Wan's hands froze there, watching Mingwei yawning again.

"Are you okay?"

"Of course, you hope something happens to me?"

Ah Wan was angry: "You didn't tell me if you were fine! You made me think something happened to you!"

Mingwei sat down and poured herself tea: "Do you think I'm so stupid to put all my hope in you?"

Before going to bed, Ah Wan placed traps around the house.

Therefore, she is not in a hurry at all about inducing the tiger to leave the mountain.

It would be better to catch the little thief if he could use the trick to his advantage.

Who knew that as soon as she came in, she saw that the mechanism had been dismantled, which made her really anxious.

"What's going on? How come my mechanism was dismantled? Where are the thieves?"

Mingwei took a sip of tea and rubbed his head. Lack of sleep is so annoying!

"I don't know! As soon as you chased me out, the little white snake told me that the thief was really here. Then I called you Young Master..."

"..." Ah Wan stared at her, and it took her a long time to say, "You have a bad reputation as a young master!"

Mingwei said seriously: "Miss Awan, you must speak with your conscience! If you shout like this, it is obviously my own reputation that is ruined. How can you open your eyes and tell lies?"

"..."

Ah Wan was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Seeing her like this, Mingwei decided not to tell her, and even answered with ventriloquism...
