The front yard of Qin Mansion.

Everyone in the Qin family has arrived in a hurry.

In the small courtyard, the lights are brightly lit.

A dozen burly government servants with sabers hanging on their waists, led by a young official, stood solemnly in the middle of the courtyard.

The young official held the Qin family's household registration book. Every time he read a name, someone would walk out of the crowd and stand on the other side.

"Qinger!"

"Meier!"

"Lark!"

After reading the names of everyone in the Qin family, he counted them carefully, then looked at Song Ruyue, who was surrounded by everyone in the Qin family, and said: "Mrs. Qin, except Master Qin, everyone in the Qin family is here.

Is it here?"

Song Ruyue frowned and nodded, saying: "They are all here."

Then he asked again: "Sir, when can my master come back?"

The young official looked at the list in his hand again and said calmly: "Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow. At this time, no matter it is the outer city or the inner city, as long as there is no one staying in their respective homes, no matter who they are, they will

Arrest her for questioning, Mrs. Qin, don’t worry."

Song Ruyue said with worry on her face: "Sir, what happened?"

The young official raised his eyes, looked at her solemnly and said: "Uncle Zhongwu's house was wiped out, including the most beloved commander of the Imperial Guards, who was also massacred. So tonight, whether it is the outer city or the inner city, every household

, we all have to check one by one. Mrs. Qin, are you sure there is no one else in the house?"

When Song Ruyue heard the news, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her face turned pale: "Yes... sure. Sir, the Uncle Zhongwu Mansion you are talking about is... Luo Yannian and his family?"

The young official nodded, and then ordered the government servant behind him: "Go and search, don't miss any place. But remember, don't damage anything in Mrs. Qin's house."

"Yes, sir!"

All the government officials immediately rushed to the backyard.

Everyone in the Qin family stayed where they were, as silent as cicadas.

Song Ruyue froze there, her face turned pale, and she was dumbfounded.

Although she wished that Luo Yannian's family would die soon, she was inevitably shocked and shocked when she suddenly heard that the other party had been exterminated, and even Luo Changtian, the most favored person around the Holy Emperor, had also been killed.

How could such a terrible thing happen under the emperor's feet, and in the inner city?

Who is it that has such incredible courage and ability?

She couldn't help but tremble all over, and asked in a trembling voice: "Sir... Sir, who is so cruel? Do you know the murderer? Will the murderer come out to kill again?"

Seeing that she was very frightened, the young official comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Qin. The whole city is now under martial law and the imperial army has been dispatched. If the villain dares to show up, he will be captured."

Song Ruyue said quickly: "Sir, why don't you send a few people to guard the alley outside? In case the murderer suddenly appears, and my master is not here, you won't be able to come over in time."

The young official cupped his hands and said, "Mrs. Qin, please forgive me, I have to search the next house later. There will be officers and soldiers patrolling the streets outside, so there is no need for Mrs. Qin to worry too much."

Song Ruyue was still frightened, and when she was about to speak again, Miss Qin Er, who was standing beside her, stretched out her hand and pulled her sleeve.

Not long after, the government officials who searched the mansion came back.

"Reporting to your lord, there is no one else in the house!"

The officials replied.

The young official nodded, said nothing more, and left in a hurry with all the government officials.

The front yard of Qin Mansion suddenly became quiet.

After a moment, Song Ruyue said in a trembling voice: "Wei Mo, tell me, how could something like this happen in the inner city under the emperor's feet? Although Luo Yannian and his family deserved to die, so did the murderer.

It would be terrible. If he accidentally slipped into our house, your father and second brother would not be here..."

When the servants heard this, their faces turned pale with fright.

Second Miss Qin comforted her softly: "Mom, it's okay. Isn't there still Xia Chan at home? Housekeeper Zhou and Qing'er can also do some boxing and kicking."

Bai Ling immediately said crisply: "Madam, don't be afraid, Bai Ling can also do martial arts."

As he spoke, he held his little pink fist, shouted "ha" in his mouth, punched out, and said: "Little Bailing's fist is not a vegetarian!"

Song Ruyue frowned and thought for a moment, and immediately decided: "We can't live separately tonight. In this way, Weimo, Jianjia and I will live at your place, and the others will squeeze in and live in the small courtyard next door. We have

Xia Chan is guarding the place. Butler Zhou and Qing'er are guarding the others. We will make other plans when the master comes back tomorrow."

There are not many people in the Qin Mansion. Including the servants, there are only fifteen people in total. There are also a few shops in the inner city. Two small courtyards are enough to accommodate them.

As soon as this was said, no one else had any objections.

Miss Qin Er wanted to speak, but seeing the frightened and worried look on her face, she had no choice but to give up.

The group of people went to tidy up and went to the small courtyard at the back.

Song Ruyue took Miss Qin with her left hand and Miss Qin with her right hand, leading Bailing Xiachan, Qiuer Zhuer and Xiaodie, and Luo Qingzhou into the Meixiang Garden.

Everyone else went to another small courtyard.

Lanterns were hung all over the house and they were not dared to be extinguished. The front and back doors were not only locked, but also blocked with objects.

Meixiang Garden has only four rooms in total.

After Song Ruyue led her two daughters into the house, she thought for a while and began to make arrangements: "Jianjia and Weimo and I will sleep in the same room. Xia Chan, Bai Ling, and Zhu'er will sleep in the same room. The remaining room,

Qingzhou, Xiaodie, and Qiu'er sleep. What do you think?"

Pearl immediately said: "Madam, the beds in our two rooms are too small to sleep three people. How about I go to the madam and young lady's place to sleep? There is a beauty couch there, and I can sleep on the couch."

Always at your service, madam and young lady."

Song Ruyue looked at her and asked, "Is the bed small? Then how do Qingzhou, Qiu'er, and Xiaodie sleep every time?"

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became silent.

Xiaodie immediately lowered her head and blushed with embarrassment.

Qiu'er also lowered her head.

When Luo Qingzhou saw that several people were looking over him, he quickly said: "Mother-in-law, Xiaodie and I will sleep in the Immortal Residence. In this way, you will have more space and sleep more comfortably."

Song Ruyue immediately objected: "No! It doesn't matter if something happens to others. If something happens to you, how do you want me to explain it to the master, Wei Mo, and the ancestors of the Qin family? You are going to be the top scholar next year.

In order to honor our Qin family and honor our ancestors, we must not make the slightest mistake."

Luo Qingzhou said awkwardly: "Mother-in-law, if you want to be the number one scholar, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult..."

Song Ruyue snorted coldly: "You haven't even taken the exam yet, and you don't have confidence yet? You have to set your ambitions further. With your talent, even if you don't get the top prize in the exam, the second place and the top prize are still nothing to you?"

Luo Qingzhou: "..."

Miss Qin Er chuckled from the side and said, "Brother Qingzhou, mother has great confidence in you."

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said nothing.

Song Ruyue looked at him a few more times, then looked at the others, pondered for a moment, and said: "In this way, Xia Chan and Bai Ling sleep together, Zhu'er, Xiaodie and Qiu'er, the three of you sleep together. As for Qing Qing

Zhou, come and sleep in our room."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Qingzhou was startled, raised his head and looked at her.

Everyone else also looked astonished.

Second Miss Qin smiled and said, "Mom, you can't speak clearly. You scared Brother Qingzhou."

Then he smiled and said: "Brother Qingzhou, what mother means is that you should go to our room and sleep on the couch, so that she can feel at ease."

Song Ruyue glanced at her and said: "Isn't that what I said? Are you overthinking it? Our mother and daughter sleep together, how could I let him sleep on the bed? What are you thinking about all day long?

"

Everyone lowered their heads and suppressed laughter.

"Okay, come into the room quickly. Weimo, I still have something to talk to you about."

Song Ruyue didn't say anything more and walked towards the room.

Qiu'er immediately went over, opened the door, and helped her take off her shoes.

Song Ruyue, wearing snow-white socks, walked into the room, turned to look at the sisters and said, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Come in."

Then he looked at Luo Qingzhou and saw the serious and worried look on his son-in-law's face. He immediately smiled and said: "Qingzhou, why are you so shy? Come in quickly. There is a bead curtain blocking the back room. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of me?"

Is it possible for your mother-in-law and your sister-in-law to take a peek at you?"

After saying that, I couldn't help laughing again.

The others also laughed.

Bai Ling didn't mind watching the excitement, and pushed him with a smile on his face: "Uncle, come in quickly, my wife and my lady will not peek at you, but you can't peek at them either. If you want to peek, just do it

I can only peek at the second lady."

As soon as this was said, everyone else laughed again.
