Li Yan was thinking about countermeasures and unknowingly arrived at the door of the general's mansion.

Li Yan looked up and saw the words "Dingyuan General's Mansion" hanging in front of the tall gate! In front of the gate stood two huge stone lions, solemn and majestic.

Looking at the two guards standing upright in front of the door, he stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Two young men, my surname is Li. Young Master Qin asked me to come here to find him. I wonder if he is in the mansion now?"

The young guards at the gate looked at each other. They had not expected that the young master, who was used to being alone, would let the young lady come to him. They did not dare to neglect him: "Miss, wait a moment!" After that, they hurried into the house to pass on the message.

The soldier rushed to the outside of Qin Yue's courtyard, but was stopped by Ying Yi who was guarding the door. "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The soldier said respectfully, "There's a girl named Li outside, she said she's here to see you, young master!"

Ying nodded: "Let her wait a moment, I will go and report to the young master!" The soldier received the order and left immediately.

Qin Yue originally lived in the general's mansion, and the old housekeeper arranged for several maids and servants to serve Qin Yue, but Qin Yue rejected them all!

In the past, in the capital, it was only Cen Bo who managed Qin Yue’s internal affairs. Qin Yue had become accustomed to it over the years!

At this time, Ying Si jumped down from the wall: "Brother, the master is not in the house now, why do you want to keep him here?"

Ying Yi didn't answer his brother's question, but kicked Ying Si and said, "Go and report to the master!"

In fact, Yingyi didn't know why he didn't just tell the girl that the master was not here at the moment, but his intuition told him to help the master keep the person!

Ying Si was kicked by his brother. Although he muttered something, he ran towards the stable quickly. His master was now at a farm in the suburbs, and the round trip would take at least half an incense stick of time.

He must not be slow, otherwise when the master comes back and the person is gone, the master will definitely be angry!

If the master gets angry, he will definitely be the unlucky one. Thinking of the scene where all the food he had hidden away would be confiscated, Ying Si felt his heart tighten and he couldn't help but speed up his actions!

After her brother left, Ying Yi came to the gate and invited Li Yan in. She had seen this person beside Qin Yue before and was sure that she was Qin Yue's follower.

Li Yan followed Ying Yi's lead into the general's mansion. They crossed a bluestone avenue and walked slowly along the neat stone road.

The main courtyard of the mansion was spacious and neat, with a bluestone-paved avenue leading to every corner of the mansion. Both sides were planted with various flowers, plants, and trees, which must have been carefully trimmed, and were obviously well-arranged and full of vitality!

After passing through the main courtyard, Li Yan saw a large martial arts training ground. The ground was spacious and flat, with wooden dummies and wooden racks. The racks were filled with various weapons: knives, swords, and guns. This was probably where the general practiced martial arts on a daily basis.

After crossing the martial arts field, the two came to a courtyard. Compared with the courtyard Li Yan had seen before, this courtyard seemed more secluded.

Li Yan followed Ying Yi into the courtyard. There was a tall ginkgo tree in the small courtyard, and a stone table beneath it. It would be a pleasant place to enjoy the cool air and play chess in the summer!

Ying Yi led Li Yan to the living room and said respectfully, "Miss, wait a moment!" After that, he disappeared!

Li Yan looked around. The furnishings in the living room were simple and exquisite. The porcelain on the table and the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall were all exquisite!

These things could only be seen in museums in the previous life, but now they are within my reach!

While Li Yan was still sighing, Ying Yi came in with a bowl of tea and a few plates of snacks: "Miss, wait a moment, the master will be here soon!"

Li Yan waved her hand nonchalantly: "It's not a big deal, it's okay!"

Li Yan didn't expect that this moment would take so long! Li Yan was about to finish her second bowl of tea, but there was still no sign of Qin Yue!

Li Yan thought to herself, "Is this person teasing me?" Then she thought, after all, Qin Yue wouldn't be that bored, right?

Li Yan wanted to find someone to ask whether Qin Yue was in the mansion, but then she realized the strangeness when she entered the door just now - why was there no servant in this yard?

Li Yan finished the second cup of tea, and when Ying Yi came forward to pour her tea, she asked curiously, "Why is there no servant in this yard?" Li Yan acted out a scene in her mind where a young man in trouble was not welcomed!

Ying Yi said calmly, "Since we came to the young master's side, there have been no other servants in his courtyard except Uncle Cen. It has been like this for so many years! I guess we're just used to it!"

Ying Yi's answer contained a lot of information. Li Yan knew in her heart that she shouldn't ask any more questions, but she was still quick to ask: "How old was your young master at that time?"
