Murong Qian When he woke up, he found her sleeping in his boudoir.

But, isn't she supposed to be in that place?

How could it be in your own home?

Also, what about Xiao Cui?

Could it be that everything that happened before was just her illusion?

Murong Qian looked at everything in her room sluggishly, but soon, she thought of something and raised her hand to explore the back of her neck.

Although she couldn't see it there, the extremely obvious pain reminded Murong Qian that everything she had experienced before was real.

But, who will save her?

Could it be Xiao Cui?

As soon as he thought about this, Murong Qian sat up and called out to the door, "Xiao Cui?"

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door soon, which made Murong Qian feel a flash of joy.

This one must undoubtedly be Xiao Cui.

It seemed that they had escaped from that terrible place.

However, the joy in Murong Qian's heart completely condensed in his heart after seeing the face of the visitor.

What came was not the Xiao Cui she was thinking about, but another girl, Xiao Yu.

"Miss, you are finally awake. The master has been here several times. You were asleep the whole time and he was so anxious that he almost went out to find the doctor."

Xiao Yu said as he slowly walked forward and said, "Miss, would you like my slave to help you get up?"

Murong Qian lowered his eyes, covering up the surprise in his heart, and then said in a calm tone, "How long have I been sleeping? Also, Xiao Cui, where did this girl go?"

"Miss, don't you know? You've been sleeping all day this time, but you've made me very anxious."

Xiao Yu took Murong Qian's clothes from the screen on the side, then turned around again and said, "Xiao Cui is really true, he didn't even know where he went, and he didn't even know he was waiting in front of the lady."

"Xiao Cui is not in the house?"

Listening to this answer, Murong Qian's heart skipped a beat.

The scenes she had seen before came to her mind again.

Xiao Cui She can't be real...

Murong Qian didn't want to think too much, and shook his head slowly, and then said to Xiao Yu, "I've been having a lot of headaches these past few days because of things at the tea house. Maybe it's because of this that I'm so tired."

"I'll rest in bed for a while. When you go back to daddy, tell him that I'm fine and tell him not to worry."

"Yes, miss!"

Xiao Yu responded, turned around and went out.

Murong Qian's body was leaning on the bed, but his thoughts were far away.

In this scene, it is obvious that she was rescued and was sent back while the people in the house were not paying attention.

But who could this person be?

Murong Qian's body moved and touched the porcelain pillow behind him.

She looked down and saw a piece of paper peeking out of the corner of the porcelain pillow.

"This is..."

Murong Qian's heart moved, and he quickly reached out and pulled out the piece of paper.

There were only a few words written on it, "At noon, First Pavilion met."

Looking at these words, Murong Qian's heart was beating wildly.

The person who can leave this piece of paper must be the person who sent her home yesterday.

In other words, he is also the person who knows the whereabouts of Xiao Cui.

It's just this afternoon...

Murong Qian saw Xiao Yu coming back in a hurry, and said calmly, "Xiao Yu, what time is it now?"

Xiao Yu said, "Now, it's already passed Si Hour."

That means it's not yet noon...

Hearing this answer, Murong Qian felt relieved and told Xiao Yu: "I have not had a good appetite these past two days, and I really want to imagine First Pavilion's dishes. You go arrange a sedan chair, and I will go to the First Pavilion for dinner."

"Are you going to the First Pavilion for dinner? But Miss, the master has just given instructions to East Kitchen to prepare a lot of Miss's favorite dishes."

Xiao Yu was very embarrassed. "If the master knows that the slave has not taken good care of the young lady, he will definitely sell the slave."

That Xiao Cui has gone to nowhere. If Murong Qian makes some mistakes again, they, who are maids, will not be in a good position.

Murong Qian smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted Xiao Yu's shoulder gently. "My father is not the kind of unreasonable person. If he asks, just say that these are my own ideas. If he dares to blame you before I come back, I will move to the Secluded Villa."

Secluded Villa is a Plum Blossom Villa of the Murong Family. It was built by Murong Hao in order to recuperate the body of Murong Hao's first wife, the mother of Murong Qian.

If Murong Hao knew that Murong Qian had decided to move there, he would probably run to pick them up on the spot.

Seeing that Xiao Yu still looked a little embarrassed, Murong Qian said again, "Okay, hurry up and prepare the sedan for your lady and me. If you don't go, you will miss lunch."

Xiao Yu I can't, I can only follow the instructions.

Moreover, in order to have a quiet meal, Murong Qian asked the bearer to send her there alone, without even letting Xiao Yu follow her.

Yan Prefecture City, First Pavilion.

Murong Qian got off the sedan, raised his head and glanced at the First Pavilion sign, then stepped up.

She wanted to know who was behind these things, so her steps started to move a little faster.

Because he was a little preoccupied, Murong Qian didn't pay attention to his surroundings when he went upstairs. He accidentally bumped into someone.

Before she could react, she felt an extra strength on her arm, and then her whole body was taken into a private room next to it.

How dare you make such a bold move in broad daylight?

Murong Qian was still in shock, she quickly raised her head and looked around, but she only saw one person standing beside her.

It's just that Murong Qian secretly looked at this person several times, but still had no impression.

"What do you mean by your actions?"

After all, she is the eldest lady of the Murong Family. After a moment of astonishment, Murong Qian calmly looked at the ordinary-looking man in front of her.

"Murong Qian, why didn't I know you were so brave?"

As soon as the strange man spoke, Murong Qian was even more shocked. "Jiang Zhizhou? How could it be you? Could it be that the person who saved me last night was also you?"

Jiang Zhizhou glanced at Murong Qian: "How dare you run to that desolate place in the middle of the night? Have you never thought about the consequences if you are discovered?"

Murong Qian After a pause, she wanted to say that she was very cautious, so how could it cause any consequences, but she thought of Xiao Cui.

She clearly remembered that Xiao Cui suffered serious injuries in order to save her.

When I think of Xiao Cui, the calmness on Murong Qian's face disappears. "Since you saved me, you should also have seen Xiao Cui? How is she now?"

She has come back safe and sound, presumably Xiao Cui has also recovered from her difficulties?

However, when she mentioned Xiao Cui, Jiang Zhizhou looked at her again, and then replied with a few words: "She is dead."

"What? Dead?"

Murong Qian's steps staggered.
