Chapter 550 Booby trap
Puyang Qiubai and Zhuge Congfeng were still discussing important matters when a servant came in to report, "Miss Qin has entered Minghua Courtyard."
"Who took her there?" Zhuge Congfeng stood up and ran outside.
Puyang Qiubai also followed.
Zhuge Congfeng and Puyang Qiubai had just been discussing the possibility that Puyang Huan was the mastermind behind this incident. However, considering Puyang Huan's frailty and poor health, she simply didn't have the ability. For example, even with illusions, Puyang Huan didn't have the ability. As for the attack at the market and the tampering with Qin Huiyin's clothes, these were beyond her imagination.
Although they didn't believe Puyang Huan had such ability, they still instinctively worried about Qin Huiyin when they heard that she had entered Minghuan Courtyard, so the two of them hurried over.
The female steward was guarding the door. When she saw them appear, she reported, "Miss Qin has been in for quite a while and hasn't come out yet."
Puyang Qiubai walked straight into the yard.
The servants of Minghuayuan did not dare to stop him and the Zhuge brothers.
The two men strode into the yard, and the sound of laughter came from inside. Then they saw Qin Huiyin and Puyang Huan sitting in the yard chatting.
"I misunderstood Sister Qin before." Puyang Huan held Qin Huiyin's hand and smiled sweetly, "I don't have anyone to talk to here. Sister Qin, please come and play with me more often in the future."
"Sister Huan'er is so cute. I dream of having a sister like her. From now on, we can call each other sisters." Qin Huiyin said with a smile.
"Of course." Puyang Huan said, "I also want a beautiful sister like Sister Qin. No wonder my brother likes you so much. You are so good, everyone would like you."
Zhuge Congfeng and Puyang Qiubai looked at the two sisters who were having a great conversation and looked at each other with strange expressions.
Puyang Huan saw the two of them appear and greeted them with a smile, "Sister Qin said we're having barbecue tonight in the yard. Do you want to join us?"
"How did your relationship become so good?" Zhuge Congfeng said.
"Sister Qin is such a good person, who can not like her? Before, we didn't know each other well and didn't know how to get along. Now that we have known each other for a long time, of course we are like sisters."
Zhuge Congfeng's gaze rested on Qin Huiyin, who had a brilliant smile on her face, showing an expression of agreement.
What does this little liar want to do?
That night they had a barbecue, and the Zhuge brothers, Puyang Qiubai, and Ouyang Qianyu all attended the banquet upon hearing the news.
The relationship between Puyang Huan and Qin Huiyin has improved a lot. The two of them are talking and laughing, which is completely different from the last time when they were at loggerheads.
Zhuge Congyun nudged Zhuge Congfeng and asked, "What's going on with these two people?"
Didn’t Puyang Huan always regard Qin Huiyin as a strong rival and think that she would snatch Zhuge Congfeng away?
Zhuge Congfeng glanced at him and said, "A woman's heart is as deep as the sea. I can't understand it either."
"Qianyu, she always pesters you on weekdays, calling you Sister Qianyu all the time, but today she ignored you. Don't you find it strange?" Zhuge Congfeng asked.
"I don't think so. I'm boring and few people can stand me. Yinyin might feel bored and want to find new friends to play with her!" Ouyang Qianyu brushed the seasoning on the meat and turned it over.
Puyang Qiubai walked over, looked at the barbecue in Qin Huiyin's hand and said, "Is this beef?"
"Today, Master Li in the kitchen asked his apprentice to hunt a bison in the mountains. I marinated it first. It tastes best when used as barbecue." Qin Huiyin replied.
Puyang Qiubai seemed not to notice the weirdness between the two people. He talked to them and ate barbecue as usual.
After dinner, Puyang Qiubai returned to his study to continue dealing with trivial matters.
A subordinate came in and said to him, "All of Miss Qin's clothes were soaked in the same potion. I followed the clue of the potion and found that the maid who was responsible for washing Miss Qin's clothes had committed suicide. The clue is broken again."
"If I'm not mistaken, there's no used potion in the maid's room, right?"
"Yes."
"No need to investigate," Puyang Qiu said calmly, "Just tell everyone that the maid murdered someone, and let the matter rest."
Zhuge Congfeng walked in from outside, sat down in front of Puyang Qiubai, and said, "Why don't you investigate?"
"The clues are gone. No matter how we investigate, we won't find anything. We might as well just leave it at that. The murderer should either stop completely or else he'll reveal something new."
In the next half month, Qin Huiyin stayed with Puyang Huan every day.
At first, Zhuge Congfeng and Puyang Qiubai were worried that she would encounter danger. As their relationship became closer and they slept in the same bed at night, they relaxed a little.
"Are we overthinking it?" Zhuge Congyun said, "They really have become good sisters."
Zhuge Congfeng looked at Ouyang Qianyu opposite him.
Ouyang Qianyu was puzzled by his gaze and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Yinyin obviously appreciates friends like you. She hasn't contacted you recently. This is not her style."
"She has a new friend, it's normal for her not to look for me."
"That's not normal." Zhuge Congfeng said, "She really values old friendships."
In the middle of the night, Puyang Qiubai heard the sound of bells and drums.
This is a special signal of Wuxiang Valley. The bells and drums will only be sounded when encountering a surprise attack.
Puyang Qiubai quickly put on his clothes and jumped out of the room.
"What's going on?" he asked his men.
The subordinate said, "Someone broke into the main office and seemed to want to destroy our mechanical formation."
Puyang Qiubai mounted his horse and rushed to the forbidden area.
Only he and his four masters could enter that forbidden area. Even the Zhuge brothers had never set foot there. It was a famous forbidden area.
At this time, the four masters and their confidants rushed to the entrance of the forbidden area. At the same time, the Zhuge brothers and Ouyang Qianyu also arrived.
Behind them, all the elites of Wuxiang Valley gathered here.
The master said majestically, "I want to see which fool dares to break into my array."
Many villagers holding torches appeared in front of him.
"What are you doing here?" Zhuge Congfeng asked.
"Someone broke into the mechanism array. This is the core of the mechanism in our Wuxiang Valley. Once it is destroyed, all the mechanisms will be destroyed, and our Wuxiang Valley will be wiped out by the minions of the court. Of course, we have to find out who this person who broke in is." Someone said.
"Yes, is there a traitor in our Wuxiang Valley? If there is a traitor, we must cut him into pieces."
Puyang Huan and her wet nurse Zhang arrived late.
"Has the person who broke into the formation come out?" Puyang Huan said softly, "Actually, she might not have done it on purpose, but just accidentally got in. Everyone, don't get too excited, it might just be a misunderstanding."
"Miss Huan'er, do you know who broke in?" asked the master.
"I...I don't know." Puyang Huan had a strange expression and looked guilty.
