Chapter 18 Chapter 18 "Rogue! Rogue!"...

The east wing has been uninhabited for a long time and has long been a place where Ye Wanwan hides her treasures. Silk, satin, pearls, jade hairpins, piled up like mountains, dazzling, all of which are her favorites.

"Miss, please come in." The maid opened the door gently and said respectfully.

The room was as dark as night. Qi Youan held a candle and stood beside Ye Wanwan to illuminate her.

Qi Youan glanced at the maid and saw her expression flickering, and he was vaguely suspicious.

The two stepped into the room, but before they could take a closer look, they heard a loud noise behind them and the door suddenly closed. Qi Youan turned around quickly and saw that the maid had retreated to the outside of the door. The locks and keys collided, crisp and harsh, and the door was locked tightly.

Qi Youan frowned, stepped forward suddenly, and slammed the door hard. However, the door was heavy and did not move at all. It was indeed premeditated.

To his surprise, Ye Wanwan did not show any panic. She stood still, her expression calm, as if everything was under control.

He stopped knocking on the door in vain, and instead used a candle lamp to light the candlestick in the room. The candlelight gradually grew, and the room suddenly became as bright as day.

The faint candlelight reflected on the pearls and jades in the room, reflecting the dazzling light, like a galaxy pouring down.

"Is anyone there! Is there anyone outside!" Qi Youan pounded on the door with all his might, and his voice echoed in the empty room, but no one answered. This place is remote, and there are few people on weekdays. At this moment, it is as quiet as death.

"Miss, this..." Qi Youan turned around and looked at Ye Wanwan in panic.

Ye Wanwan calmly observed the room, which met her requirements: hiding in a place where no one can find her.

She thought to herself: Who wants to trap her here?

The first reaction was the concubine Ye Liyu. No one else had a grudge against her and was so familiar with the terrain of the mansion.

But why was she locked up here?

In any case, it was important to get out first.

She looked at Qi Youan: "Go and see if there are any windows in this room?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Youan immediately moved away the piles of jewelry boxes and cages, and turned over the layers of gorgeous clothes and brocades. After a while, he was sweating profusely. However, the walls of this room were tightly closed, and there was no ventilation. I think this place was designed so tightly to prevent mosquitoes, rats and ants from invading the treasures.

What's worse is that there are no windows, which means no wind can get in. If they are trapped here for a long time, the two may suffocate to death. It seems that this place is not suitable for staying here for a long time.

Ye Wanwan raised her head, her eyes fell on the roof and said: "Since we can't escape underground, we can only go into the sky."

Qi Youan followed her gaze and immediately understood in his heart. He nodded and said: "Miss, I will try to see if I can break this roof."

The two looked at each other, and their tacit understanding was unspoken.

Before Qi Youan could make a move, the person beside him had already taken a golden bead and aimed it at the wooden board on the roof.

"Stand back for a moment." Ye Wanwan gently pushed him away, raised her slender hand, and was ready to go. At this moment, she was not like the delicate daughter in the boudoir, but like the female knight who was happy to take revenge in the rivers and lakes, with heroic spirit between her eyebrows.

A glimmer of light flashed in Qi Youan's eyes.

With a "bang", the golden bead hit the wooden board on the roof, but unfortunately it was not strong enough and was bounced back. Seeing this, Ye Wanwan flashed and flexibly avoided the falling golden bead.

"Miss, let me do it." Qi Youan jumped up, tapped the wall lightly with his toes, and jumped steadily on the wardrobe. Ye Wanwan was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and handed over the golden rod in her hand.

Qi Youan took the golden rod, aimed at the weak part of the roof, and exerted force suddenly. The wooden board made a dull sound under the heavy blow, and the debris fell one after another.

Time passed quietly, the candlelight in the room gradually went out, and the darkness came like a tide, swallowing up the last ray of light.

Finally, with a sound, a gap was smashed in the wooden board on the roof. The cold moonlight poured down like water, mixed with fresh air, instantly dispelling the dullness in the room.

Qi Youan felt relieved and looked back at Ye Wanwan, but he was dizzy due to long-term suffocation, and his feet were unstable. He stumbled and fell off the wardrobe.

Before Ye Wanwan could react, she saw a black shadow rushing towards her. She stepped back subconsciously, but her feet were tripped by silk and satin, and the whole person fell into the soft silk pile.

Qi Youan was also caught off guard and fell face down on her body, feeling an unusual softness.

He suddenly realized something, hurriedly got up, and his face was instantly stained with a layer of blush, as hot as the sunset in the sky.

"Rogue! Rogue!" Ye Wanwan was so ashamed and angry that she didn't care about her usual dignity and reservedness. She hit his chest with her fists like raindrops, and then she crossed her arms to protect her chest.

Qi Youan didn't dare to resist, but just stood there stupidly, letting her fists fall on him. When she was tired of beating him, he whispered shyly: "Miss... let's go out as soon as possible. After we go out, I will let you punish me."

Although Ye Wanwan was not relieved, she still agreed with him.

Qi Youan jumped onto the wardrobe again, his figure was as light as a swallow. He stretched out his hand and said respectfully: "Miss, I'm sorry." Before he finished speaking, he had already grasped Ye Wanwan's waist through the clothes with both hands, gently lifted her up, and sent her to the roof.

Ye Wanwan only felt a tightening around her waist, and before she could react, she was already sitting steadily on the wooden board on the roof. She looked down at the height of her feet from the ground, and her heart couldn't help but tighten, and her fingertips trembled slightly.

Qi Youan, like flowing water, supported the wooden board with both hands, jumped onto the roof, and then landed lightly on the ground.

He looked up at Ye Wanwan, spread his arms, and said firmly and gently: "Miss, don't worry, I will catch you."

Ye Wanwan grabbed the hem of her clothes, leaned out half of her body and looked down. She suddenly felt dizzy and quickly retracted her feet. Her face turned slightly pale and she said: "This... This is too high."

But she couldn't keep wasting time like this. What if others saw her and gossiped about her?

Yunheng, you are the cutest, smartest and bravest fairy. How could you retreat! She encouraged secretly.

She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage and prepared to jump down, but just after taking a step, she suddenly retracted it. Ye Wanwan frowned tightly, her face full of entanglement, stomped lightly on the wooden board with her toes, and her voice unconsciously said a little coquettishly: "Oh, no, I'm scared."

What if she broke her leg? What if she falls on her face and gets disfigured? She still has to stay in the mortal world for a few more years. All kinds of terrible thoughts lingered in the girl's mind, making her more afraid to act rashly.

Qi Youan was touched by his cute appearance and coaxed her, "Don't worry, miss. I'm very skilled. If you let a strand of your hair fall to the ground, I'll beat myself with fifty sticks." He smiled dotingly.

Ye Wanwan definitely didn't want to jump down because she trusted him, but she really didn't want to continue to embarrass herself on the roof.

The girl closed her eyes and silently said in her heart: "God bless me, God bless me." Then she gritted her teeth, mustered up the courage to jump.

The wind whistled in her ears, and her heart almost hung in her throat. However, the next moment, she fell steadily into a solid embrace.

Qi Youan didn't expect the lady's body to be so soft, like hugging a fragrant marshmallow.

Ye Wanwan landed on the ground steadily, her heart was in panic and she breathed a sigh of relief, but she pretended to be calm on her face, gently pushed Qi Youan away and said, "You are quite capable."

"Miss, I finally found you." Yun Ting saw the familiar figure and hurried forward. Seeing that the two of them were in disheveled clothes and messy hair, she was confused but did not dare to ask more. She panted and said, "Miss, the master and the lady are looking for you."

The banquet should have ended long ago. If she went to find her father, she would definitely be scolded and punished.

She suddenly had an idea and fell to Yun Ting. She said with a weak breath, "My head hurts so much..." and then fainted in his arms.

......

The Prime Minister had originally promised to arrange a marriage for his daughter Wanwan with the son of the Duwei Mansion, but the rebellious girl and the son disappeared. He was originally furious, but seeing the unconscious person on the bed, his heartache prevailed.

"Doctor, how is my daughter?"

"To reply to the Prime Minister, your daughter should be too frightened, so she is unconscious, but her pulse is calm and there should be nothing wrong. I will prescribe some medicine to take care of her."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

"I ask you, what's going on?" The Prime Minister turned to question Qi Youan.

"My Lord, a maid came to tell me that some valuables were lost in the east wing, and asked the young lady to go and check. I went with the young lady, but as soon as I entered the house, the maid locked the door from the outside. The house was airtight, and if the servant hadn't smashed the roof in time, the young lady might... might have suffocated to death." When he said this, his voice trembled slightly, as if he was still in shock.

"Can you see the maid's appearance clearly?"

Qi Youan lowered his head, as if thinking, and hesitated after a moment: "The maid looked familiar to me, and seemed to be... someone next to the third young lady."

In fact, he couldn't see the maid's appearance clearly, but he dared to conclude that it was the third young lady who did it.

Because if someone wanted to seduce Ye Wanwan in the mansion, the person must be familiar with the terrain of the mansion and understand Ye Wanwan's temper. From this, it can be inferred that the person must be Ye Liyu.

As soon as this was said, everyone in the hall was shocked. The Prime Minister's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Qi Youan fiercely, questioning: "Did you see it clearly? This matter is of great importance, and you can't speak nonsense!"

After he finished speaking, Qi Youan lowered his head and said with some uncertainty in his tone, "But it's dark at night, maybe I saw it wrong..."

As the saying goes, once a suspicion arises, it has become half of the fact.

The Prime Minister pondered for a moment, his face became more gloomy, and then he waved his hand and ordered: "Go and call Li'er to the side hall."

Ye Liyu thought that her plan was foolproof. If it succeeded, Ye Wanwan would die. If it failed, she could turn

the tables and frame her for having an affair with a servant. Therefore, when her father summoned her, she was not panicked at all, and walked to the hall calmly.

"Father, is my sister okay?" She pretended not to see her father's serious face and pretended to be concerned.

"Your sister is frightened and unconscious." The Prime Minister carefully observed Ye Liyu's expression.

"How could this happen..." She pretended to be surprised and then said, "Actually... to be honest with you, father, my personal maid accidentally saw my fourth sister and her servant in the east wing tonight, being intimate with each other. I was afraid that it would affect my fourth sister's reputation, so I concealed it. But now that my fourth sister is in a coma, I am afraid that she will be misled and go astray." Her words were cautious, as if it was true.
