Ye Zhao never thought that his plan would be exposed in the eyes of the old man, and that he would be directly told of his deception.

Ouyang Jingjing hurried back to the yard, and when she saw Qing Ning standing there, her face looked quite strange.

"Ning Ning, it's not peaceful outside now!" Ouyang Jingjing said with a strange look, "Now the streets are full of guards, searching everywhere! I asked out of curiosity, it seems they are looking for Mr. Ye!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Ye Zhao walking out of the room. He happened to hear their conversation and couldn't help but look puzzled.

"They are looking for me? What is going on? The Ye family has been wiped out, and he has got what he wants. Logically speaking, I should be worthless to them." Ye Zhao frowned, Said to himself.

"It's hard to say. Since they are looking for you like this, they must have a plan, and they must need you to do something. Otherwise, why would they go to such great lengths?" Qing Ning analyzed.

Suddenly, Ye Zhao's face turned as pale as paper, as if he remembered something important. At this moment, there is probably only one reason why a powerful man like Ming Haijun is so mobilized to search for him - the secret hidden behind the fake treasure map has been exposed! Because of this, the other party will rack their brains and use any means to find him, in an attempt to get the real treasure map held by the Ye family.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhao became more and more panicked: Since Ming Haijun already knew about the fake treasure map, the Liu family who was deeply involved in this matter must not be able to escape misfortune! As his thoughts gradually deepened, Ye Zhao felt an unprecedented fear welling up in his heart.

\"Um...I'm a little tired, let's go back and rest for a while!\" As soon as the words came out, Ye Zhao turned around and left in a hurry, as if he would be in great danger if he stayed for a moment longer.

Only Qing Ning and Ouyang Jingjing were left looking at each other, and it seemed as if nothing could be said when their eyes met.

"Looking like this, he must be hiding a lot of unknown secrets!" Ouyang Jingjing's eyes showed a hint of wisdom about world affairs.

Even if she is innocent, she can detect the secret hidden in Ye Zhao's heart, let alone Qing Ning who has more experience.

"It must be that he told a lie to Ming Haijun, but was found out, so he is so panicked and confused now!" Qing Ning pointed out the key to the problem.

Her analysis is precise and profound, making people convinced.

"It seems that is indeed the case! By the way, what are we going to do next?" Ouyang Jingjing muttered to herself while fiddling with the teacup in her hand boredly. She felt that she had nothing to do all day long. She either went to the street to find out news, or went to the teahouse to listen to Mr. Shu telling stories.

"You keep an eye on Ye Zhao these days to see where the two real treasure maps are hidden, and find an opportunity to get them back. Let's go and inspect the treasure on the spot to see what it is. , is it worth so many people fighting for it?" Qing Ning said with a serious face, obviously having made a decision. If this treasure is just an empty joy and has no actual value, then she would rather destroy it than see more people shed blood and sacrifice in the future to fight for it.

At this moment, Fang Yuanyuan happened to walk into the yard and heard Qing Ning assigning tasks to Ouyang Jingjing. She stepped forward quickly and asked curiously: "What do I need to do?"

"It's great that Yuanyuan is here! I just encountered something here and I want you to help me run some errands! Now hurry up and go to the city lord's mansion to find someone who can identify the authenticity of the treasure map. In my opinion, this person is definitely not an idle person. Oh, by the way, let’s see if Uncle Sun Six and Sun Xiuxiu are still there. If they are both here, try to take them out of the city lord’s mansion.”

"Okay, I understand! Then I'll go over and take a look." Before she finished speaking, Fang Yuanyuan turned and left.

"Hey wait a minute, be careful and don't alert other people!" Seeing Fang Yuanyuan being so impatient, Qing Ning hurriedly warned her.

Fang Yuanyuan lightly patted Qing Ning's shoulders a few times to reassure her, and then disappeared as quickly as a gust of wind.

Qing Ning already knew where she was going, so she didn't stop her.

Qing Ning turned her head slightly and glanced at Ouyang Jingjing from the corner of her eye. At this moment, the girl who was enjoying the pastry in her hand quickly stuffed the pastry into her pocket as soon as she noticed Qing Ning's gaze.

\"Don't worry, I'll go over and take care of Mr. Ye now!\" Before he finished speaking, Ouyang Jingjing left like a gust of wind.

Looking at her retreating figure, Qing Ning couldn't help showing a hint of helplessness. After all, this little aunt's temperament has always been so impatient, reckless, and resolute.

When Qing Ning turned around and returned to the door, she unexpectedly met Zhuo Yi. It turned out that Zhuo Yi wanted to step out of the room and take a walk in the courtyard, but happened to see Qing Ning standing by the door.

"Good morning, Miss Qing Ning!" Zhuo Yi greeted politely.

"Good morning, Mr. Zhuo! I wonder how your injuries are recovering?" Qing Ning asked with concern.

\"Thanks to the girl's care, after these days of nursing, most of the wound has healed, and I will be able to fully recover in a few days. I have to thank the girl for the elixir!\" Zhuo Yi responded gratefully.

"The sun is shining brightly and the wind is gentle today, which is really rare. How about we go for a walk in the courtyard? This will help the wound heal as quickly as possible!"

Hearing this, Zhuo Yi, who was extremely witty, instantly understood the deep meaning behind her hesitation.

"Very good. I've been stuck in the house these days and I'm really bored. It would be nice to go out for a walk!" After saying that, he turned sideways to get out of the way. Qing Ning quickened his pace slightly and took the lead, while Zhuo Yi deliberately slowed down. Half a body step behind.

After the two walked side by side for a while, they came to a rather quiet and secluded courtyard. Qing Ning stopped and immediately turned around to stare at Zhuo Yi.

"Then Ye Zhao, you need to be more careful. This person is very ambitious and has big plans!" Qing Ning looked at Zhuo Yi solemnly, her eyes full of worry.

Zhuo Yi was not stupid. He knew very well that the reason why the guy named Ye Zhao took the initiative to approach him must have an ulterior motive. But Zhuo Yi did not drive the other party away, but decided to keep him by his side - after all, this way, he could always monitor the other party's every move, thus effectively preventing him from playing any tricks.

"Don't worry, I know it well. In fact, I have already seen that he has ulterior motives, but because of this, I placed him here deliberately. Only by putting him under our noses can we better prevent him from doing anything. It might be a wise choice for us to make some small moves." Zhuo Yi smiled slightly and comforted Qing Ning.

Qing Ning, who is extremely intelligent, certainly understands Zhuo Yi's plan. He intends to remain unchanged in the face of all changes. And based on her understanding of Zhuo Yi, this young and promising family heir is by no means as innocent and kind as he seems on the surface. In fact, Zhuo Yi is not only smart and witty, but also quite skillful and calculating in dealing with people.

"Well, I believe you have your own sense of discretion. But...about the treasure map, do you think he really knows the inside story? I suspect that he did a lot of tricks on the treasure map, so after knowing that the city lord sent people to do a lot of things today, Searching for him makes you so panicked.”

Qing Ning remembered Ye Zhao's performance just now and became obviously panicked, so she frowned and said.

Zhuo Yi nodded lightly and agreed: "I also think he seems to know something about this. During this period, he has asked me about the treasure map many times. It seems that this is most likely what he is doing this time. The real purpose of coming.”

As a member of the family, Zhuo Yi is well aware of the huge value and significance contained in the mysterious treasure map; at the same time, he is also very aware that the outside world has been coveting this treasure for a long time. However, he knew too little about the secret of the treasure map, and the only key clue he gave to Qing Ning, and he was full of trust in her.

Although it is still unclear how much relevant information Ye Zhao has, judging from various signs, it is an indisputable fact that this person has evil intentions. Facing such a powerful enemy, both Qing Ning and Zhuo Yi knew very well: they must be more vigilant and fully prepared to deal with various unexpected situations that may occur...

"I've already asked people to watch Ye Zhao. With his ability, it's hard for him to fly even with wings!"

"That's great!"
