I made the villain right.

After Fan Hua and Du Xuan came out of the study, they moved to the study.

Fan Hua was holding a piece of paper in his hand, which he had just taken from Fei Ge. He guessed that he must have found out some information in the cabinet.

After Fan Hua pried out the evidence from the suspect that Xiao Hong was the man behind the incident, he did not immediately punish Xiao Hong, but sent a pigeon back to the pavilion to have someone secretly verify the matter before making a conclusion. Because Xiao Hong was the head of the first courtyard and had always had a grudge against him, if he was punished without sufficient evidence, the first courtyard would definitely be in chaos. The various courtyards in the pavilion are closely linked, and any disorder in any part will affect the operation of the pavilion.

Fan Hua opened the note in his hand, and the content on the note read: Pei Yu, First Hospital, the situation is true.

After reading this, Fan Hua's eyes darkened a little.

Du Xuan saw Fan Hua's seriousness and asked, "Master, what happened?"

Fan Hua glanced at him without answering, but handed the note in his hand to him to read.

After Du Xuan finished reading the contents of the note, he turned his eyes and asked, "The matter has been investigated. When does the master plan to go back to deal with it?"

He said coldly: "We will set off tomorrow, you should be prepared in advance"

"Yes," Du Xuan replied.

"But before leaving, I have to go to Fumengxuan to explain some things." He would probably stay in Fengyun Pavilion for quite a while, so he had to explain everything clearly about the situation here before leaving.

Before leaving, Fan Hua took a detour to the main hall and the surrounding area to see if Shi Jin had left the house. When he didn't see Shi Jin, he thought she had gone back, so he left the house and went to Fumengxuan.

However, Shi Jin did not leave the house at this time, she was still staying in the house.

Shi Jin wandered around the courtyard, lingering in the scenery, like a lost bird, not knowing the way home.

Shi Jin and Zhi Lu came to a rockery at this time.

At this time, Zhilu suddenly felt that she had to urinate. She looked reluctant and said hurriedly: "Oh, young lady, people have to go to the toilet first. You go first, come over if you don't want to go."

Shi Jin waved his hand and said calmly: "Go, come back soon"

After getting Shi Jin's consent, Zhilu walked away in small steps. Later, she found that the faster she walked, the stronger her urge to urinate became, so she could only slow down her pace, walk through a corridor, and disappear from Shi Jin's sight.

Shi Jin thought of the peach blossoms she saw when she first came in. The peach blossoms there were so beautiful, but she took a quick glance and didn't have time to appreciate them carefully, so she planned to go over there to take a look.

Shi Jin searched along the way based on her feeling. After about a few quarters of an hour, she finally saw the peach orchard after passing through a corridor. Joy suddenly filled her heart, and she walked quickly into the courtyard.

At first glance, the tree is full of blooming red flowers, each branch and cluster is exceptionally enchanting, bright and fragrant, and the air is filled with fragrance. When you are among them, it is as if you are trapped in an elegant and graceful realm, like a dream, romantic and dreamy. Unconsciously, she is immersed in the beautiful scenery and good feelings.

Shi Jin lay on her back with her eyes closed, intoxicated by the fragrance. A breeze blew by, filling the air with a refreshing aroma that made her feel relaxed and happy. The branches were swaying in the wind. Shi Jin opened her eyes and saw the petals on the branches drifting down with the wind, creating ripples in the air, intoxicating her heart and enchanting her under the tree. She curved her lips and reached out to catch the petals, which fell lightly on her palm.

She looked at the petals in her palm carefully, and after a moment she blew them to the ground silently.

Shi Jin put his hands behind his back, walked at a leisurely pace, humming a little tune, and strolled in the courtyard.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Shi Jin couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful, it's a pity that I don't have the sketchbook with me, otherwise I would have painted this scenery."

When Shi Jin felt tired, he walked to a relatively large peach tree and sat down, leaning his back against the tree. He kept looking around the base of the tree and suddenly found a light green porcelain vase under the tree.

So Shi Jin picked up the bottle. The bottle was heavy, and there was a small tag hanging on the bottle mouth, which read "Life is like a dream". These four words successfully aroused Shi Jin's interest.

Why not open it and have a look? Thinking so in her mind, she actually did so. She looked around like a guilty thief, and when she found that there was no one around, she pulled out the cork from the bottle. A faint fragrance wafted into her nose, which didn't seem real, so she moved closer to the bottle and sniffed it, and found that the fragrance was coming from the bottle.

"What smells so good?" she murmured. She shook it gently and heard the sound of liquid sloshing inside. It must be a bar, she thought.

She closed one eye and peeked inside. The wine was pink. She thought it was quite fresh to see pink wine here.

"I don't know who dumped it here, poor little thing."

As she spoke, she looked around the yard, and when she found that there was still no one around, she curled the corners of her mouth into a cunning smile.

Then this wine is mine.

She took a small sip, her eyes sparkled and her face showed joy.

The wine tastes sweet but a little bitter when you first drink it, but the sweetness slowly spreads after a while and you get in the head instantly.

The taste of this wine is very novel, just like its name. Life is short like a dream. A life of bitterness before sweetness and finally sweetness is the most difficult to endure, but it is also very precious.

Shi Jin hasn't had a drink since she came here, and she almost forgot what the slightly tipsy drink she liked tasted like.

Now that she had tasted the wine, she liked it. She naturally classified it as a slightly tipsy wine that would not make her drunk, so she drank it in big gulps without any worries.

A quarter of an hour.

A young girl stood under the peach tree, her face rosy and her eyes blurry, but she was still intoxicated by the wine, drinking one sip after another until there was no drop of wine left in the bottle.

Shi Jin glanced sideways, and with a confused look on her face, she tipped the bottle over. Seeing that there was no more wine in the bottle, she muttered, "Why is there no more wine? Where is my wine? Who stole it?"

She threw the bottle aside unhappily and fell asleep on the grass, but she slept very uneasily with a frown on her brow, because there were some small flying insects on the grass that liked to crawl onto her face, making her face very itchy. So she waved her hands irritably, but it only had a short-term effect. When she put her hands down, the flying insects came back again.

Shi Jin got up from the ground with an unhappy look on his face, staggered through one corridor after another, and finally walked into a courtyard.

She looked around with a dazed look in her eyes, and spotted a room in the middle. She smiled and said, "This is it."

Then he pushed the door open in a daze, staggered in, holding on to something, and when he saw a big bed in the room, he lay on it, covered himself with the quilt, and fell asleep peacefully.

A young girl was sleeping very soundly with her legs spread out, but she didn't know that someone was looking for her outside and was in a panic.

Zhilu never dreamed that she would lose her master while using the toilet for a while.

Zhilu anxiously shuttled through the courtyards, looking for Shi Jin. Suddenly, she saw a servant passing by, so she hurried forward and asked, "Excuse me, have you seen a woman in red?" She gestured and continued, "About this tall."

The servant shook his head and said lightly, "I didn't see it," and walked away indifferently.

Whenever Zhilu met a servant on the road, she would pull them aside and ask if they had seen Shi Jin. Their answers were all the same: no.

Zhilu was so anxious that she almost cried, and she had no choice but to keep looking.

Time is passing by bit by bit...

Night gradually fell, the stars and the moon dimmed, and the courtyards of the mansion were brightly lit and people were moving around.

The courtyard was filled with everyone calling out to Shi Jin, "Miss Shi, where are you?" But no one responded.

Xiao Ba said to Zhi Lu: "Miss Zhi Lu, we have searched the entire courtyard, but we couldn't find your young lady. Could she have returned home?"

Zhilu said firmly: "No, I've gone back to the mansion to look for her, but I didn't see her. She must still be in the mansion. Please help me look for her again." Her voice gradually became tearful. She knew that Shi Jin was not the kind of person who would leave without saying goodbye. She was afraid that something might have happened to Shi Jin.

the other side.

As soon as Fan Hua and Du Xuan entered the door, they saw Xiao Qi hurriedly coming forward to call them.

Xiao Qi said anxiously: "Master, you are back. Something happened in the mansion. Miss Shi got lost in the mansion. We searched everywhere in the mansion, but we couldn't find her."

Hearing this, Fan Hua frowned. When he left, he went to take a special look at her. Seeing that she was not there, he thought she had left a long time ago. But not only did she not leave, she was lost?

He asked in a deep voice: "Where did you start to notice that she was missing?"

The servant thought for a moment and said, "I heard from Miss Zhilu that he disappeared in the rockery in the south courtyard."

Fan Hua's eyes darkened and he felt something was wrong.

It is very likely that she accidentally entered the dark cell and was trapped inside.

There are two switches for the secret cell, one on the rockery outside and one inside. Although you can get in accidentally, you may not be able to get out because the switch inside is set in a secret place and it is difficult for unfamiliar people to find it.

Realizing that the situation was somewhat serious, Fan Hua asked Xiao Qi to go down first, and then ordered: "Du Xuan, you search carefully again, I will go to the dark cell to check"

Seeing Fan Hua talking about the secret cell, Du Xuan looked worried and lowered his eyes and said, "Miss Shi, if the secret cell discovered the master's secret, what will the master do?"

When the question was asked, Fan Hua paused for a moment, and suddenly his dark eyes were covered with a layer of coldness, and he said in a cold voice: "Only the dead can keep secrets."

After meeting each other many times, Du Xuan thought that Fan Hua treated Shi Jin a little differently, but it was just an illusion, and the master was still the cold and unfeeling master.

Du Xuan's eyes turned away, and without saying anything else, he went downstairs to look for it.

Fan Hua went straight to the rockery and entered the secret cell. His eyes were dim, his expression was serious, and his steps were steady. He went down the stairs and walked all the way inside. After searching everywhere in the secret cell and finding that Shi Jin was not there, his expression gradually relaxed, his eyes gradually became clear, and then he turned back.

On the other side, Du Xuan searched around and found his way to the peach garden. After walking under the peach tree, he stepped on a wine bottle. He realized something was wrong and immediately squatted down to check. When he found the light green porcelain bottle, his eyes flashed.

He recognized that this was the Fu Sheng Ru Meng wine brewed by Ran Ke. When he came to Kyoto, he took two bottles with him. He drank one bottle himself and gave the other to Fan Hua. A few days ago, Fan Hua said he didn't like it and threw it away, but someone actually drank it.

He became suspicious. The servants in the mansion were all trained and generally would not touch their master's things. When he thought of Shi Jin's inexplicable disappearance, he guessed that Shi Jin had drunk the wine.

This wine has a very strong aftereffect. Even a grown man like him didn't dare to drink a whole bottle at once, but she actually finished it. She was probably fallen in that corner, but he searched everywhere in the mansion but couldn't find her. Where could she have gone?

Du Xuan looked around and thought for a moment. When his eyes swept towards the end of the corridor, an idea came to his mind.

No wonder the servants couldn't find her after searching everywhere in the mansion. She was most likely hiding in the master's yard, because servants were not allowed to enter where the master lived.

At this time, Du Xuan heard footsteps behind him. Du Xuan turned around and found that it was Fan Hua, so he bowed and said, "Master, Miss Shi drank a whole bottle of Fu Sheng wine. The wine is strong. I guess she fell in your yard."

When he heard this, Fan Hua's eyelids suddenly twitched. He didn't know what to say, so he just said lightly: "I know, you go down first, I'll go find her" with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

When Fan Hua returned to his courtyard, he saw that the door of his bedroom was opened. He stepped in and looked around the room. He didn't see her figure, so he was puzzled and called softly as he walked, "Miss Shi, where are you?"
