Wei Xu discovered a total of three entrances to secret passages.

Shen Ruoyan looked around carefully and found that these entrances were all extremely secretive, and one of them was hidden near Xue Dafu's study. She passed by it several times yesterday, but she didn't see any clues. Only Wei Only professionals like Xu can discover the secret.

"Brother Wei, you are so awesome, you can even find a place like this!" Shen Ruoyan praised sincerely.

Wei Xu chuckled, took out a dagger and knocked twice on the stone paved ground. Several hollow echoes came from under the stone slab, "Miss Shen, listen, this place has been hollowed out. There must be a secret room. I just don’t know how to get in.”

The two of them studied for a long time under the faint morning light, and tried many methods but could not find the door of the secret passage.

"Brother Wei, look at this, is it some kind of mechanism?" Shen Ruoyan squatted on the ground, waved to Wei Xu, suppressed her excited voice, and pointed to a gap in the ground.

Wei Xu walked quickly over in a few steps and saw that there was indeed a distinctive opening on the ground paved with stone slabs. At first glance, he thought it was a gap between the stone slabs, but after careful comparison, this gap was obviously larger than the surrounding gaps. Up some.

Could it be that Miss Shen really discovered the entrance by accident?

Taking out the fire folding piece from his arms, Wei Xu lay on the ground and probed inside with a copper wire. After careful inspection, Wei Xu expressed his judgment: "Miss Shen, this should be a keyhole. It seems to be a keyhole." To get in, we have to find the key first.”

Shen Ruoyan's eyes were bright and she gestured at the keyhole with her hand.

This gap is about the length of a tiger's mouth, but less than half an inch wide. It is estimated that even a chopstick cannot fit in. If this is a keyhole, it can be inferred that the shape of the key must be very special, and it is a large and thin thing.

What exactly could it be that fits this pattern?

Seeing the sky was bright and the sound of morning rising gradually sounded around them, Shen Ruoyan and Wei Xu did not dare to stay longer. They returned to their yard together. Qin'er had already brought breakfast back from the kitchen and greeted them. Eat breakfast.

"Brother Wei, please continue today to see if there are any other weird places in Xue's house." Shen Ruoyan took a sip of porridge and said to Qin'er, "Qin'er, please sort out some of the cloth we brought."

"Miss, do you still want to sell those ingredients?" Qin'er put down the buns in her hand and asked in confusion.

The last time they came to the Xue Mansion with materials, they originally wanted to do business with the women of the Xue family. Unexpectedly, they encountered Xue Jinbao falling in love with Shen Ruoyan and forcing her to stay as his wife. After such a fuss, the materials were of course It was not sold.

Qin'er thought that the young lady was thinking of making money again.

"We won't sell it this time. Let's be generous and just give it away!" Shen Ruoyan shook her head and quickly finished the porridge in her bowl. "You will come with me to Mrs. Xue's yard later. Let's take some with you." Once the piece of material is passed, it is treated as a greeting gift."

Mrs. Xue is the head matron of the Xue family and must know many secrets. Shen Ruoyan thought that if she could have a good relationship with Mrs. Xue, she might make people happy and get some useful clues from her.

Shen Ruoyan got up early today and went back to lie down for a while after breakfast. When she woke up, Qin'er had already sorted out several pieces of satin, and Wei Xu had long disappeared.

Shen Ruoyan straightened her hair a little and was about to go out when child Xue Jinbao opened the door and walked in very familiarly.

Seeing that the table was empty, the little fat man frowned and complained: "Tangtang, why don't you wait for me to have breakfast with you? As soon as I finished greeting my parents, I came to find you and returned every bite of the food. Haven’t eaten yet.”

Seeing his aggrieved look, Shen Ruoyan had no choice but to eat breakfast with him again. After feeding the little fat man, she said, "I'm going to your mother's yard later. Do you want to come with me?" ?”

The little fat man touched his belly and peeled another egg for himself without finishing it. He complained dissatisfiedly: "Why are you looking for her? You are my wife, just stay with me."

"Look, I live in your house now, eat your food, drink your food, and always have a good relationship with your family, right? You don't want others to think that I am a person who doesn't understand the rules, and I don't even go to visit my elders. , right?" Shen Ruoyan saw that he was eating with his mouth full, picked up the handkerchief and wiped Xiao Pang Dun's face.

The child's chubby cheeks were full of elasticity and felt particularly good. After Shen Ruoyan wiped his face, she couldn't help but pinch Xue Jinbao's cheek.

This action fell into Qin'er's eyes, and the little girl's heart lifted up.

You must know that she heard a lot of ridiculous stories about this young master yesterday, such as selling servants at will, beating people into disabilities at every turn, all of which were terrifying to hear.

Seeing the young lady pinching the little devil's face so unscrupulously, would the little fat man be angry?

What should he do if he wants to punish the young lady?

However, to Qin'er's surprise, Xue Jinbao didn't seem to care about Shen Ruoyan's behavior at all. He just put on his chubby face and said sadly: "Tangtang, you just need to be nice to me. Don’t care what other people think.”

Shen Ruoyan was amused by his words. She didn't expect that this little kid was quite domineering.

Instructing Qin'er to bring the gift, Shen Ruoyan took Xue Jinbao's hand and took the initiative to walk outside the house, "But if others don't like me, how can I be happy? We all live under the same roof, and we meet each other every day. It's so nice to be kind."

Hearing this, Xue Jinbao seemed to recall something, and a hint of sinisterness flashed across his chubby face.

Shen Ruoyan didn't hear the child's answer for a long time, so she squeezed his hand and happened to see him with his head half lowered and an unhappy look on his face, "What are you doing with such a sad face at such a young age?

How about this? You go with me to see Mrs. Xue first, and then I play with you. Is that okay?

By the way, have you ever played grass fighting?Let me tell you, my brother liked to play this with me when I was a kid. I see there are a lot of weeds in your yard. I will teach you how to play it later. "

After all, Xue Jinbao was still a child, and his attention was attracted by the novel games mentioned by Shen Ruoyan. When he walked outside Mrs. Xue's yard, he was already talking and laughing, looking very happy.

But just as they were about to step into the courtyard, a roar came from inside: "You are so brave!"

Then there was the sound of breaking porcelain.
