Small tortoise shell

That night, the tortoiseshell cat slept uneasily.

The tall man took it away from Guiyao's arms. His arms were cold and hard. When it wanted to stick its head out to check, the man pinched the back of its neck.

I arrived in a daze and found that he had carried me to the place I had mistakenly entered during the day.

The wound on its body was given a new dressing, and the pain was gone. It squinted its eyes and tried to roll over, only to find that the animal guarding it had changed from a big white cat to a big black dog.

It just wanted to ask Guiyao.

Why are these people catching it?

It kind of wants to go back to Li's house.

In the past, when it was wandering outside, it had also run into someone's kitchen to steal garbage to eat.

Perhaps it happened to see someone crying in the Li Mansion. That person was sad herself, but she still touched it gently and asked others to find food for it. It liked her very much.

When did it meet this person?

"It's the first day of February."

It huddled behind the white cat and whispered.

It hopes Guiyao can hear it.

It was the first watch of the night.

Guiyao was also tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.

She couldn't figure out the timeline. Little Daimao was clearly taken in by Li Yueming for three days. Li Fuyin kept lying, but why?

Confusing herself with this, she accidentally woke up Miaomiao, who was sleeping beside her. She meowed five or six times, "Li Fox? He actually comes to see the lady quite often."

Guiyao poked its fur and corrected its pronunciation.

"Oh! So it's the prefect. I said he had no hair on his body and wasn't cunning, so why do they all call him Li Fox, Li Fox, Li Fox?"

Miao Miao stepped on her breast and meowed, "Come to think of it, he didn't come to the General's Mansion very often before. He's been here every day and every night since this week. Before you and the little general arrived, I slept at the Madam's place. I've been listening to him talk about marriage and not getting married. My ears are about to grow hair."

There was still only one lamp in the room, and suddenly, the wind outside the window blew out the flame.

It was pitch black all around, and the night watchman's voice could be heard in the distance.

Guiyao opened her eyes and she was not wrong - something was scratching her door. Miaomiao noticed her vigilance, jumped off the bed and walked lightly to the door.

Who dares to visit in the middle of the night?

Gui Yao held the dagger and moved towards the door.

A faint voice came to her ears. She paused, breathed a sigh of relief, and opened the door. She saw that the two people, one big and one small, were both dressed in dark colors, blending into the night, leaving only two pairs of bright eyes.

Too good to be human.

"Don't look at me, I'm just an emotionless mount." He leaned against the door and wiped his feet with the wooden board at the door, then carried the little tortoise shell into Guiyao's room.

The door was blown violently by the wind and slammed shut. Guiyao looked around before locking the window and lighting a candle in the room.

When she turned around again, Momo, Daimao, and Miaomiao were sitting obediently by the bed. Guiyao listened to the quarreling voices of Miaomiao and Momo in her mind:? . . .

It's so tiring that I'm the only one who can hear you arguing in your hearts.

It's late at night and quiet, a good time to sort out clues.

Guiyao put on an outer robe, placed the paper and pen from the cabinet on the table, cleared her throat to quiet down the two little ones who were listening, and then brought the candle to Xiao Daimao.

"Listen to me, there is one thing I don't understand."

From the perspective of the little hawksbill turtle, what is the correct timeline?

"I knew Miss Li for three days. She was crying on the first day, and she was still crying when she came back from the second day."

Little Daimao rubbed Guiyao's hand, saying, "On the third day, when the sky was probably as dark as it is now, she stopped crying."

Guiyao quietly wrote down the time on a piece of paper.

Midnight, the hour of Zi.

"Dad, what's the point of enduring this? In the past, they just made excuses about breaking off the engagement, but today they actually attacked me."

Li Yueming said as he packed his bag.

"Although this plan was hastily made, who would delve into it? Tomorrow afternoon, you will go to Aunt Li's place for a talk as planned. In the evening, come and say goodbye to me outside the city."

She choked and stuffed many things in the house into the package until it could no longer hold anything.

"The Li family never owed them anything. Instead, it was Zheng Yuan who owed me anything!" She tied the bundle in a mess, squeezing the books and paintings inside until they leaked out. She didn't care and just kept tying the knot. "He said that if he couldn't come back, he wanted me to find a good family to marry into."

"What right does he have to arrange it for me? I would rather be a bird than marry anyone else."

Li Yueming looked at his father sitting on the chair, wiped away his tears, and knelt down on his knees.

"It's my daughter who is unfilial."

"From now on, there will be no Li Yueming in the Li family."

She watched as Li Fuyin stood up silently, slowly walked out of the yard, holding the wall, and then closed the door.

With a scream, all the candles in the room piled onto the table and were extinguished by her with a wave of her clothes.

She touched the head of the kitten on the bed, climbed out the window awkwardly and carefully, and turned around to disappear into the night.

What is the fault of the raccoon? It is the fault of the in-laws.

Gui Yao gently broke free from Ren Beixi's hand.

Li Yuqing and his men from the General's Mansion left, and the people followed the prison van that was being taken to the prison.

She stands here.

But she didn't understand why he was still here.

After a long time, Li Fuyin stood up holding the cat.

"Mrs. Gui, I also want to thank you for protecting this cat for me. This is... left to me by my daughter."

Gui Yao watched his old hands gently stroking the little 玳細. Li Fuyin seemed to want to say something, but in the end he slowly became a back figure in her eyes.

The Zheng family bullied the kindness of the Li family, but the Li family was not stupid. The guards went to contact Miss Li the next day and found that after she was murdered, she still remembered that there was a long and thin knife mark on her neck when she didn't know the murderer, which made the cat scratch theory come true.

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Daimao's crime only existed in the people in the general's mansion on the first day, and those people clearly knew that this was a trap set by Li Yueming to escape.

The only one who couldn't get out was Li Fuyin.

Little Daimao told her that Li Yueming had said to him as he rode out, "Dad, you have to return the kitten to me after you're done with it. I'm just doing it for others to see, so don't let them actually hurt it! If I find out the kitten isn't eating or sleeping well, I'll hold you accountable!"

Rain fell in the courtyard. Guiyao reached out to catch the water, which flowed down her wrists and wet her sleeves.

/ Congratulations to the host, the completion of the cat-killing-noblewoman quest has reached 100% /

/ 600 points have been credited to your account. Please use them wisely in the Mind Reading Notebook. /

Ren Beixi leaned against the corridor holding his sword. Li Cong followed Li Yuqing into the inner room and came out after a while.

Li Cong smiled and said, "Guess what Aunt Li said to me this time."

When Gui Yao walked over, she heard the man's voice say calmly, "Why is your last name Li this time?"

...It seems like I heard something I shouldn't have heard.

She raised her head slightly and pretended to watch the rain, but Li Cong in front of her waved at her, called her Sister Gui with a smile, and asked her if she wanted to go to the theater in Xianyu City together later.

Guiyao was thinking of going back to the room early to tinker with the system.

I just replied to him: "Are you not afraid that your sister-in-law will find out that you invited other girls to play?"

Seeing his handsome face turn red again, Gui Yao narrowed her eyes, pulled up Ren Beixi's sleeve and walked out.

The two stood under the eaves, with the rain falling heavily.

Xiao Hui beside him handed him an oil-paper umbrella.

Gui Yao was about to take it, but Ren Beixi snatched it away first. He tilted the umbrella down and then lifted it up to break the rain. He saw Gui Yao tilting her head, so he just put his arms around her slender waist, lowered his eyes to look at her surprised eyes, and led her into the rain. Somehow, her shoulder could not touch his shoulder, but she seemed to feel a warmth.

Gui Yao was slightly startled, and looked up at him with a frown.

She bit her lip and hesitated to speak.

"Aren't you going to the Washe?"

Ren Beixi looked at the pink corners of her eyes.

His voice was deep: "Yaoyao is curious, isn't she?"

Gui Yao always felt that there was a hint of teasing in Ren Beixi's tone of voice today.

She just wanted to wait until she went back and collected so many points before talking to him. Although she couldn't beat him up, she could at least avoid such hugs.

We took a horse carriage back home.

There were not many horses to ride this time, and Li Cong obviously didn't want to walk, so he sat in with a red face and resisted the pressure.

"Did you bring the little hawksbill turtle?" Gui Yao asked.

Ren Beixi nodded slightly, but his eyes avoided Gui Yao and gave some warning to Li Cong in front of him.

Li Cong blinked: "Sister, how did you know that there were so many suspicious things behind that cat?"

Gui Yao held up her face and looked at him: "Sister, I'm awesome."

The carriage stopped at the gate of the general's mansion.

Li Congxian dismounted and waved to Guiyao. He watched him fly over the eaves and walls, not knowing which roof he had run to. Couldn't he just walk? He flew faster than a horse.

Guiyao couldn't help but be curious.

She poked Ren Beixi's shoulder tentatively: "Brother Li Cong doesn't look like the kind of friend you would make."

Ren Beixi said "hmm".

"We are old friends, so we have known each other since childhood."

He paused after he finished speaking, his eyes darkening a little: "Li Cong is already an adult, so he should be older than you."

Gui Yao raised her eyebrows.

If she said now that she was almost 30, would he think she was crazy? "Then I'll call him Brother Li Cong and he'll call me Sister Ren Yao, okay?"

She looked at Ren Beixi's cold face and tensed up a little more before walking towards the mansion with her hands behind her back.

Suddenly, I heard a sound of a dog sneaking behind me.

"I'm so tired, so tired. I'm not Bangbang. I'm asked to carry the cat every day. It's okay to carry that tortoise shell, but now Miaomiao wants me to carry her too. It's killing me."

Guiyao paused.

"General Ren, did you ask Momo to deliver the little tortoise?"

Ren Beixi closed his eyes lightly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were cold and gloomy: "Although the cat's movements are small, Mo Mo is used to being unrestrained. Yaoyao really underestimated me."

His voice was a little thin.

The man stood with his back straight and his chin slightly raised, looking at Guiyao's slender back. He saw that her steps were becoming more and more disorderly, and the pearls wrapped in the hairband on her head were shaking and tinkling.

"Gui Yao."

"You have not yet repaid the debt for the wound on my neck today."

Gui Yao narrowed her eyes when she heard the name from his mouth.

She simply turned her head and said, "General Ren's memory is as bad as I thought. Wasn't it the assassin from Yunchuan Temple who injured you? As for the rest, Yaoyao doesn't know either."

You are moaning so sweetly, but I can't let you die of sweetness. Ren Beixi didn't scream earlier or later, but chose to trick her now. It's so boring.

She turned and ran to her room.

Close the door and close the window.

Looking down at the bronze mirror, she seemed to have only two red spots behind her ears. She must have walked too fast.

Gui Yao leaned on the table and gasped for breath, silently reciting the call system in her mind. After a moment, a thick book fell into her cupped palm. She looked at the four big words "Mind Reading Notes" on the cover of the book and gently opened it.

Finally, finally.

The white light dissipated on the surface of the book.

She held her breath helplessly, anticipating her biggest points harvest ever, only to see two lines of simplified Chinese characters appear on the mind-reading notebook.
