"Miss Qin seems to be in a hurry?" Su Nanxin asked Mei Zixi who was sitting aside.

Mei Zixi nodded. Miss Qin clearly wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible. Although she had a smile on her face, her actual behavior couldn't be more perfunctory.

"Everyone, please come with me." A maid dressed in different clothes entered the living room and took four people to eat.

On the way, while walking, the maid introduced, "You may not know, but the chef of our Qin family comes from the God of Cookery in the First Empire. If you stay in the Qin family in the future, you will definitely enjoy endless food blessings."

"The God of Cookery in the First Empire?" Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows. The taste of the snack just now was a bit familiar. She always felt that she had eaten it somewhere.

When the maid mentioned the First Empire, Jiang Ning immediately remembered that the pastries Ling Chuge usually ate had this flavor.

Ling Chuge had also taken out the Yaowang Pavilion's token before, and coupled with the craftsmanship from the God of Cookery, it seemed that Ling Chuge was also from the First Empire.

This guy is quite hidden.

While walking, I looked at the scenery of the Qin family. Maybe it was because the owner of the family had changed. Many of the scenery was different from what Qin Nian remembered.

Until a faint scent of osmanthus penetrated the tip of the nose, and then the maid led the four of them through a garden full of osmanthus trees. In the innermost part of the garden, a small dilapidated courtyard with a half-open door could be vaguely seen.

The memory suddenly hit him, and Jiang Ning couldn't help but pause in his steps.

"Mr. Jiang? What's wrong?" When the maid saw that Jiang Ning did not follow, she couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Ning quickly came back to his senses, glanced at the surrounding sweet-scented osmanthus trees, and said, "The sweet-scented osmanthus trees here are in bloom. It's almost winter, but they haven't declined yet."

"It's really good." Mei Zixi agreed.

"The sweet-scented osmanthus here is naturally different from the common sweet-scented osmanthus outside. The sweet-scented osmanthus trees here were specially planted here by the previous head of the family for..." Realizing that she had said something she shouldn't have said, the maid's voice Suddenly there was a pause.

"For what?" Su Nanxin asked doubtfully.

The maid lowered her head and said no more, "You should come with me to dine first."

Seeing that the maid didn't want to say more, it was hard for others to ask further questions, but Jiang Ning knew the reason why the maid didn't dare to mention it again.

Just because this ever-flowering osmanthus tree was specially found by the previous head of the family, Qin Nian's father, as a fifth birthday gift for Qin Nian.

The small courtyard at the end of the Osmanthus Garden is where Qin Nian lived three years ago.

Follow the maid, turn left and right, and enter a garden. The pavilion in the middle of the garden is the place for dining.

"Everyone, please wait here, someone will serve you soon." The maid poured tea for the four of them and said respectfully.

"There are many rare plants in this garden. Can I take a look around?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Of course, but the food will be served soon, Mr. Jiang had better not go too far," the maid replied.

Jiang Ning nodded and stepped out of the pavilion.

The garden outside the pavilion is very large, and the height of some plants exceeds Jiang Ning's height.

Jiang Ning walked into the taller flowers as if accidentally, and the branches and leaves of the flowers immediately obscured her figure.

Just when the maid thought that Jiangning people were still admiring the flowers behind the flowers, Jiangning had already quietly slipped back to the Osmanthus Garden just now.

【What are you doing here? 】

"Looking for something."

【what? 】

"Qin Nian's stuff."

Jiang Ning walked through the Osmanthus Garden, opened the half-open door, and entered the dilapidated courtyard.

Nothing in the yard has changed, except that no one has cleaned it in three years, making it a lot deserted.

The ground was covered with fallen leaves and overgrown with weeds, and the wooden window and door frames were crumbling due to age and disrepair.

Jiang Ning walked into the house. The furnishings in the house had long been evacuated, and the few furniture had become dilapidated.

"It's really desolate." Jiang Ning couldn't help but say.

【What are you looking for? 】

"A safety lock." Jiang Ning said.

Walk to the bed and gently move it away.

[What are you looking for? 】

"That was left by Qin Nian's mother. When she was sent away, she didn't have time to take it with her. The second room of the Qin family also seemed to want that safety lock." As Jiang Ning spoke, he stretched out his hand to remove the floor tiles under the bed one by one. Touched.

Finally, I touched a raised corner.

Following the corner, the floor tiles were removed, and an exquisite jade box suddenly appeared in sight.

Jiang Ning opened the jade box and took a look. There was a golden safety lock inside.

But when he held it in his hand, it felt heavy, not the weight that gold should have.

[This seems to be just a layer of gold powder applied on the outside. 】

"If it were really an ordinary safety lock, the second room of the Qin family wouldn't want to get it so much."

Jiang Ning said as he put the jade box and the safety lock into the Void Fantasy Ring.

These things are not safe to put in storage bags.

After restoring the floor tiles and bed to their original state, Jiang Ning quickly left the yard.

But when she just walked out of the yard and before leaving the Osmanthus Garden, she heard a questioning voice.

"Who!" A cold male voice sounded.

Jiang Ning turned around and saw a young man followed by two boys, standing at the entrance of the Osmanthus Garden, looking at her with suspicion.

The young man looked to be in his early twenties, wearing a black brocade robe. His originally handsome face was full of suspicion, which abruptly destroyed that handsomeness.

Jiang Ning's pupils dilated slightly when she saw the person coming. She unexpectedly met him so quickly.

The second son of the Qin family and Qin Wenyu's biological brother, Qin Yangqiu.

When Qin Nian's father was still alive, Qin Yangqiu was very kind to Qin Nian, but after Qin Yangqiu's father, the second wife of the Qin family, took the position of head of the family, Qin Yangqiu's true nature was revealed.

His previous kindness to Qin Nian was just to please Qin Nian, so as to reduce the family head's suspicion of the second wife.

In that short month, Qin Nian was tortured by Qin Yangqiu.

"Young master must be from the Qin family. I'm really sorry. I came here to enjoy the flowers, but I accidentally got lost. Could you tell me how to get to the flower viewing pavilion?" Jiang Ning suppressed the emotion in his eyes and said Showing an annoyed look.

"This osmanthus garden is not convenient for guests to visit. It's better for you not to wander around," Qin Yang Qiuyin said.

"I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry. There won't be a next time. Please show me the way." Jiang Ning said sincerely.

"Are you from Chuwu Academy? I happen to be going to the Flower Viewing Pavilion, so you can go with me." Qin Yangqiu said.

"Thank you, sir." Jiang Ning thanked him while secretly observing Qin Yangqiu's reaction when he saw her.

Seeing that Qin Yangqiu didn't have any special reaction, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

[However, after only three years, the Qin family had forgotten all about Qin Nian. 】

[Won’t they feel familiar when they see your face? 】

'Qin Nian has been away from the Qin family for three years, and it coincides with the age when a girl grows up, so her face will change. In addition, I dress up as a man, and my appearance is only five points similar to Qin Nian's, so they naturally can't recognize me. '
