"Don't worry, I'm not being overconfident, but there are only a few people in this world who can open this colorful exquisite lantern. Lu Ban's unique skills are not just for show. You can just put any old thing in it. As long as it is old enough to fool people, no one knows what's inside anyway." The reason why Su Wenyue was so confident was that no one had been able to open the colorful exquisite lantern in her previous life. Otherwise, that thing would not have fallen into her hands and she would have discovered the secret in it. Su Wenyue now felt that her luck was pretty good.
Seeing how confident his wife was, Han Yu felt that what her words did make some sense. Even someone like Shangguan Wuyou couldn't see any clues at all. The reputation of the world's best lamp was not without reason. It was not only because of its exquisite workmanship, but probably also because of this.
"Let's do it this way." Han Yu didn't need to look for another one. He took out a worn sheepskin map from a secret compartment in the study. It had some similarities with the previous sheepskin map. Even if the colorful exquisite lamp was really opened by someone, it would not arouse suspicion.
Su Wenyue took apart the colorful lantern again and put the sheepskin map inside. However, this time her movements were much more skillful, and she restored the colorful lantern to its original state in no time.
"Wife, it's getting late. Let's go to rest first." Han Yu said this when he saw that the colorful exquisite lantern was ready. He was also worried that his wife's body could not bear it. They had been tossing and turning all night, and it was already three ten in the morning.
After tossing and turning for most of the night, Su Wenyue felt a little sleepy. She yawned and was about to go to rest with Han Yu when she heard the servant downstairs come to report that there were guests visiting.
It was already the middle of the night, and there were guests coming so late, especially at this time. Han Yu and Su Wenyue almost simultaneously thought that the visitors came for the colorful exquisite lantern. The couple looked at each other with some worry on their faces. The forces that came later tonight were not local forces. Only aristocratic families could cultivate such manpower. They could not fight against them at present, but although they did not plan to keep the colorful exquisite lantern, they were not under the threat of others.
"Husband?" Su Wenyue felt more and more uncomfortable. This was all caused by her. If she hadn't insisted on getting the colorful exquisite lamp, there wouldn't be so much trouble. However, she would never feel at ease if she didn't open it and take a look. She didn't regret it, but she was afraid of bringing disaster to Han Yu.
Han Yu patted Su Wenyue's head soothingly: "It's okay. We have no plans to keep this lamp anyway, so there will be no danger. The rest is just a matter of weighing the benefits. It won't be bad in the end, so don't worry."
Han Yu had previously discovered that his wife showed some signs of being delusional. Worrying too much is not good for the body. Moreover, although what he said was a bit exaggerated, the benefits did outweigh the disadvantages. His current situation was already being targeted by Sun Tongpan, so it would be better for him to find a temporary backer or an alliance of interests through this matter to gain enough benefits.
Su Wenyue felt relieved after hearing Han Yu's words. At Han Yu's signal, the servant had already invited the guest to the main hall.
"Wife, go back to your room and rest first. I'll come after I've dealt with this matter."
"Okay, then I'd like to go and rest. You be careful." Su Wenyue nodded and warned. She had done what she could. The rest was matters between men. As a woman, she was not allowed to interfere in matters outside, otherwise it would ruin Han Yu's business. However, she was a little curious. No matter what happened in the previous life, this colorful exquisite lantern fell into Sikong Ling's hands. She didn't know who would get the colorful exquisite lantern in the end because of her participation in this life.
Su Wenyue waved to the servant who came to report the news: "Go to the front and ask who is coming?"
Meanwhile, Han Yu arrived at the main hall and was not surprised to see that the visitor was Sikong Ling. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Sikong is a distinguished guest. Why did you come to visit so late at night? I wonder what's the matter?"
Seeing that Han Yu knew the truth but was pretending to be ignorant, Sikong Ling knew that he was in such a hurry to come here because he was afraid that something might happen if time was delayed. The thing was really important to him. It didn't matter whether the legend was true or not. The only thing was that he couldn't let those people get it even if it was destroyed. However, Han Yu was indeed cunning and never mentioned the fact that he had sent people to help before.
Sikong Ling raised a smile, "Lord Han is a wise man, he knows why I came here, it's better to come early than late. When we came in from outside, we found many passers-by lying in ambush outside. I'm afraid that we can't protect that thing with the guards of Han Mansion alone. The reason why those people can't hold back until now is also due to the checks and balances of all parties. This kind of silence will not last long. I think Lord Han will not be able to sleep tonight. Only after solving this matter can he sleep peacefully without worrying about when the assassin will break in from outside."
"Young Master Sikong is really kind-hearted. He came here in the middle of the night just to remind me of these things and let me sleep well. I appreciate Young Master Sikong's kindness. Please rest assured that I have already thought of where to put this thing. You don't have to worry about the rest!" Han Yu said with a fake smile. He could be calm in front of others, but he didn't want to have a good attitude towards the man who coveted his wife. Even if he did have the intention to trade the Colorful Exquisite Lantern with Sikong Ling, he didn't want the process to be too smooth.
Sikong Ling was not angry. He was not afraid of Han Yu's attitude. But the man in black who followed him was very angry. He looked at Han Yu with hatred and said, "Han, don't be ungrateful. If it weren't for my young master, you would not be able to stand here properly. You might have been killed by those men in black."
This man in black was the one who had led the way in killing another group of men in black. Han Yu naturally recognized him. If anyone else had done the same, Han Yu would have felt somewhat grateful. However, it was Sikong Ling and the attitude of this man in black that made it difficult to feel grateful.
"So I have to thank you two for saving my life? I thought you were trying to prevent that group of people in black from snatching the colorful lanterns. It turns out that you brought so many people with you to help us selflessly. Yu would like to thank you two here sincerely!" There was nothing wrong with what Han Yu said, but the sarcasm in his words became more and more obvious. The man in black's face turned black when he heard it. He was about to lose his temper, but was stopped by Sikong Ling.
Su Wenyue went back to her room first, but did not sleep. Instead, she waited for the servant to report to her.
"How is it? Did you find out who it is?" Su Wenyue asked hurriedly when she saw the servant coming back.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Madam, the person who came is the young master of the Sikong family, and he seems to be here for the colorful exquisite lantern."
