There was another crisp sound of the bead curtain shaking.
Chen Ningyuan raised her eyes lazily and happened to meet Lan Yin's eyes full of worry.
He asked calmly, brushing the wrinkles on her clothes with his fingertips.
"What's the matter?"
Lan Yin lowered her brows slightly and spoke after careful consideration.
"Miss, if you rashly mention the White Jade Guanyin statue, won't it alert him? It will be detrimental to our subsequent actions."
What Lan Yin could think of, Shen Ningyuan had also thought about.
Shen Ningyuan did not answer her question directly, but walked slowly to the window.
I reached out and pushed open the window frame, and a breeze blew in my face, blowing the hair at my temples.
Lan Yin, who didn't get an answer, asked unwillingly, "Miss, are you listening?"
Shen Ningyuan turned around, with a subtle expression, and glanced at her with dark eyes.
"It's been a while since Ji Yunchuan came back, but he hasn't revealed many flaws until now."
If we don't push him, who knows when we'll get this crucial evidence.
If it weren't for the fact that he had searched the Marquis of Anding's mansion inside and out several times and still couldn't find the white jade Guanyin statue, he wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure.
Lan Yin seemed to understand what the young lady meant.
I couldn't help but nodded.
Sighed secretly.
That's true.
Ji Yunchuan was just a chess piece put forward in the open.
The key to the matter is to find out who is behind him.
And we also obtained substantial evidence that the Marquis of Anding's Mansion was collaborating with the enemy, committing treason and rebellion.
In extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done.
Seeing Lan Yin's face showing a look of realization, Shen Ningyuan waved her hand.
Signal her to step back.
Seeing this, Lan Yin was about to bow and leave when she suddenly remembered that she had something to report.
After waiting for a long time for her to leave, Shen Ningyuan raised her eyelids slightly and asked, "What else?"
"Just now, outside the courtyard, someone bumped into me and found a secret letter on me."
As she spoke, Lan Yin took out the secret letter from her sleeve and handed it to her respectfully.
"Miss, please take a look."
Shen Ningyuan's eyes swept over the envelope in her hand, and when she saw the familiar handwriting on it, her brows furrowed slightly.
He took the letter, opened the envelope and unfolded the letter.
The content is very simple.
"The token has been transferred."
Shen Ningyuan's expression instantly turned cold, and the temperature around her dropped suddenly.
Lan Yin didn't know what was written in the letter that made the young lady lose her composure like this.
His face tensed and he asked timidly.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
The thoughts were withdrawn instantly, Shen Ningyuan closed his eyes slightly, covering his eyes, all the complicated emotions, and said coldly.
"Go down first and let me be quiet."
Lan Yin was extremely worried, but she didn't dare to disobey the young lady.
He looked back every few steps and left the house very worriedly.
After everyone left, Shen Ningyuan let out a long sigh.
He rubbed his aching brows and muttered softly.
"How could Xie Wanzhou have found out such secret information?"
She has always been in the An Ning Marquis's Mansion, and any movement in the mansion cannot escape her eyes.
But why didn't she receive any news?
Is there a traitor in the mansion?
Many doubts came to my mind one by one.
My head is a mess.
As his thoughts raced, Shen Ningyuan's head began to hurt more and more.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally sent someone to deliver a letter to Xie Wanzhou and make an appointment for a meeting.
But until night fell, I didn't receive any reply.
I had a quick dinner.
Shen Ningyuan stood by the window, enjoying the night breeze for a long time, and her patience was running out.
He raised his voice and gave the order.
"Lan Yin, tell the kitchen to prepare some water. I want to take a bath."
"Yes, miss."
Then, there was the sound of the bead curtain shaking.
Lan Yin's footsteps gradually moved away.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Ningyuan slowly walked around the screen with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix and came to the inner room.
The hot spring was emitting curling hot steam. Shen Ningyuan touched it a few times with her hands and let out a comfortable sigh.
Tomorrow’s affairs will be worried about tomorrow.
I've been working hard today and am already exhausted.
Right now, Shen Ningyuan just wants to take a comfortable bath and go to bed early.
In her opinion, with Ji Yunchuan's ability, even if the white jade Guanyin statue was moved out in advance, there were only a few hiding places.
It's just a matter of time to find it.
Shen Ningyuan raised her hand to take off her clothes, walked lightly into the hot spring.
Just as I was about to take a comfortable bath, I heard a rustling sound.
"Lan Yin, please get me the jasmine scented soap."
But unexpectedly, the fragrant soap was not delivered.
But I heard the sound of someone tripping over a table leg while walking unsteadily.
Following closely behind was a low, muffled groan.
No matter how slow she was, Shen Ningyuan realized that something was wrong.
With lightning speed, he quickly grabbed a thin cotton towel beside him and wiped off the water stains on his body.
He picked up the clothes he had just changed and quickly put them on.
All of this is done in the blink of an eye.
After getting dressed, Shen Ningyuan walked out around the screen with a cold face.
At first glance, I saw Xie Wanzhou leaning against the window frame.
"What are you doing sneaking here in the middle of the night?"
Shen Ningyuan stood in front of the screen with an expressionless face. The clothes she put on in a hurry had a wide-open collar, revealing a piece of snow-white skin.
Her long, jet-black hair was spread out, with water dripping from the ends.
There was a cold look in his eyes.
