mountain chase

That night, Wang Dachuan remembered that when he got up to squat in the toilet at night, he could still see the lights in the study on the third floor kept on.He stood at the door of his room with his trousers up for a while, then went back to the room obediently.

The next day, fourth master Qiao didn't come downstairs for breakfast.

Wang Dachuan took a few mouthfuls of porridge in a daze, and looked up just in time to see the housekeeper walking upstairs with a tray, "Housekeeper, is this going to be delivered to fourth master?"

"Well, Fourth Master slept late last night. I'll go up and have a look." The butler looked at the tray in his hand and sighed. Fourth Master's health has been poor, and his blood pressure is low. He woke up in the morning...

Closing his eyes, the butler remembered every time he woke him up—what a tearful tear, two lines of blood and tears!

Just as he was talking, a guard came in from the door, "Housekeeper, there are people making noise at the door of Qiao's mansion."

The butler frowned when he heard this, "You stupid thing! What do you want you to do? Why don't you drag it away quickly and come over to report to me? You don't want to do it anymore, do you?"

"No..." The guard quickly raised his head, hesitating, "It's not that the small ones don't procrastinate, it's just, it's just that the people who came to make trouble are the Liu family and the Xu family, and the second girl Qiao is the leader."

Miss Qiao Er refers to Mr. Qiao's own sister——Qiao Yanyun.Because she is a well-known courtesan in Peking, and she is not married, she is still called the second girl.

However, Mr. Qiao never allowed the second girl to come over.Now, how could she have the time to come here?

How dare you come here?

The butler turned his head, and suddenly thought of what Fourth Master Qiao had said to him last night.His expression sank, and he handed the tray in his hand to Wang Dachuan, "Go up and see Si Ye, remember, Si Ye is not in good health, even if he wants to sleep, let him drink this bowl of porridge before going to sleep."

"Okay~" Wang Dachuan took the bowl eagerly, wagging his tail happily and went upstairs.

Fourth Master Qiao's room is on the third floor, the innermost room behind the study.

Wang Dachuan held the tray in one hand and knocked on the door lightly with the other.

...

There was no sound from inside.

"Dong dong!"

...

Could it be that fourth master is still sleeping?

Wang Dachuan thought for a while, and gently opened the door.It was the first time he entered fourth master's room!

The room was surprisingly big, twice as big as the room where Wang Dachuan slept, and it was redundant.European-style white wood carvings, violet rattan tables and chairs, and the big, tall and soft bed in the middle.

A vague figure could be vaguely seen through the heavy gauze.

Putting down the tray, Wang Dachuan stepped lightly and walked up to it secretly.

At this time, the weather was already bright, and through the window curtains, soft light shrouded the people on the bed.Wang Dachuan looked at Fourth Master's sleeping face, and couldn't help swallowing—he was such a beautiful person.

With fair skin, jet-black eyebrows, and a little face blushing from sleep, Wang Dachuan liked it more and more and was more satisfied with it.Unknowingly, I became proud again——My vision is really good!

Daughter-in-law is beautiful.

ah!Forgot, the housekeeper said that the daughter-in-law was not in good health, and wanted to call him up to eat porridge.

It took Wang Dachuan a while to think of something serious.Quickly turned around and brought the tray over, holding it in one hand and pushing Fourth Master Qiao's shoulder with the other, "Fourth Master, Fourth Master has woken up."

"Hmm..." Nose snorted softly, but Fourth Master Qiao completely ignored him.

"Fourth master, fourth master is getting up."

"Mmm~mm..." His eyelashes trembled, and Fourth Master Qiao hummed twice.

"Fourth Master!" Covering his nose with his hands, Wang Dachuan continued to call him.

"Understood, are you annoying!" Kicking off the quilt suddenly, Fourth Master Qiao was a little dazed, very upset that someone came to bother him at this time.

"It's the housekeeper who asked me to call you for dinner, Fourth Master, get up... Fourth Master, Fourth Master, Fourth Master..." Wang Dachuan recited his name as a scripture.

"Four, your mother's head!" Fourth Master Qiao, who finally woke up from the annoyance, threw a pillow over him.

"Wow!" Wang Dachuan didn't pay attention, the pillow and the tray were all spilled on the bed.

"Fourth Master! Be careful it's hot!" The porridge was freshly made!Wang Dachuan didn't even think about it, he held Fourth Master Qiao's armpit with both hands, and directly lifted Fourth Master Qiao out of the quilt and hugged him in his arms.

"..." Fourth Master Qiao stared at him.

"...Uh." Wang Dachuan looked at the naked man in his hand and blinked.

The brain froze immediately.

"Boom boom boom! Fourth Master, Second Miss Qiao said she wanted to see..." Suddenly, the butler at the door opened the door and came in, halfway through his mouth, he saw the appearance of two people, "...you."

After finishing the last word mechanically, the butler closed the door with a "bang!"

Immediately pushed it away, and turned his back to the two people: "Fourth Master, the younger one didn't mean to come in on purpose, but Miss Qiao Er brought a few other distant relatives to make trouble downstairs, and the younger one really couldn't handle it, please come down for a while, this kind of thing It's better to drag it back for a while, if you can't do it, the younger one can help you adjust it first, and the younger one will resign!"

"boom!"

The door was closed again.

"How long are you going to hold me in your arms!" Fourth Master Qiao raised his head, gritted his teeth and looked at someone whose nose was bleeding.

"Ah! Oh..." Hurrying to put down the person in his hand, Wang Dachuan shook his paw reluctantly.

"go out!"

"I, I got it!!!" Covering his nose, Wang Dachuan turned around and ran, accidentally flipping over a chair during the process.

"Da Chuan, what's the matter? Fourth master beat you?" The maid who had been waiting outside at the door gave him a concerned look.

"No, nothing..."

"Oh." The maid nodded, although she still had some doubts about Wang Dachuan's expression, but in this family, talking less, inquiring less and doing more - is the correct way to survive.

When Fourth Master Qiao came down again, Wang Dachuan, the housekeeper, and Lin Shuang were already waiting downstairs.

Sitting on the sofa in the hall was the second daughter of the Qiao family, Qiao Yanyun.Beside them were the Xu family, several women from the Liu family, and a young man in his early twenties.

"What are you all doing here?" While coming down the stairs, Fourth Master Qiao talked to the people downstairs, "Are you all idle and have nothing to do? Do you still want to work at Qiao's house?"

He is wearing a wool plaid vest today, with a white shirt and suit pants inside, looking casual and elegant.

"Yes, yes..." Hearing Fourth Master Qiao say this, the housekeeper naturally understood.He and Lin Shuang looked at each other, each bowed to Fourth Master Qiao, then turned and went out to do their own business.

——I ignored Qiao Yanyun for a moment.

In fact, I didn't need to pay attention to it at all, but no matter what Qiao Yanyun said, she still had the Qiao family's surname and was the elder of the fourth master, so the housekeeper was really confused at first.

"What are you still doing here?" Fourth Master Qiao frowned, looking at Wang Dachuan, who was like an ass behind him.

"My, my job is to protect you."

"Oh," Fourth Master Qiao nodded, "but I'm in the Qiao's mansion right now, there won't be any problem, you can go around the yard outside for ten laps before seeing me."

"I!" Wang Dachuan lowered his head aggrievedly. He was tall and tall, a head taller than Fourth Master Qiao. At this time, he really felt like a poor puppy.

"good."

"Wow." With his tail drooping, Wang Dachuan went out to run around obediently - for some reason, he always felt that Fourth Master was angry with him.

"Yo~ What's the matter, what's the matter that you can't see people, and you actually drove all these people away?" Qiao Yanyun squinted and stared at Fourth Master Qiao.

"Second Aunt," Fourth Master Qiao sat on the sofa on the other side, separated from some of them by a long distance, "I call you Second Aunt now because you are still my father's younger sister, the daughter of the Qiao family. It's just , if you don't have a little self-knowledge and don't use your brain to think about things, the Qiao family——there won't be a daughter like you."

He spoke slowly, as if he had thought about every sentence for a long time, and he pronounced the words very clearly, and he would never mispronounce a word.

"You!" Qiao Yanyun touched a soft nail and wanted to be angry, but she didn't dare to get angry - after all, Fourth Master Qiao's status was the highest in the Qiao family.If nothing else.

"I came here today to ask you something." Qiao Yanyun said stiffly.

"Oh, then tell me." Fourth Master Qiao looked down at his fingers, "You ask me, whether you tell me or not - it's my business."

Qiao Yanyun gritted her teeth, "I just want to ask you something—my elder brother, is he dead already?"

really.

Fourth Master Qiao was stunned, but he didn't face anything, "Father? Since when did you care so much about his old man?"

"Don't interrupt me!" Qiao Yan raised her head and pointed to some little sisters beside her, "I am not here alone today, these are famous ladies from the Liu family and the Xu family, you must Explain it to me!"

The Liu family and the Xu family, one is the in-law family of Mr. Qiao, and the other is the in-law family of Mr. Qiao's father's generation. They are both famous and prestigious families in Beiping.It's just that the few people around Qiao Yanyun—probably not even the concubine, right?

Fourth Master Qiao didn't even glance at it: "Second Aunt, my time is very precious. It's been 10 minutes now, if you're okay, go back by car, I still have something to do." , stood up and planned to leave.

"Stop!" Suddenly, the young man on the sofa stood up and stood in front of Fourth Master Qiao.

"Heh," the corners of his lips curled up, Fourth Master Qiao looked at the young man and Qiao Yanyun as if he was joking, "Why, Second Aunt, is this your newly hired bodyguard?"

"Zhong He, come back." Qiao Yanyun was also anxious, and pulled the young man by the hand, "He is my son."

son?Qiao Yanyun didn't even leave the mockery in the eyes of Fourth Master Qiao, "Second Aunt, I don't care if he is your son or not, when you left Qiao's house, father already made it very clear to you - Qiao's house, You don't have the slightest bit of inheritance right. So," he raised his finger and touched the tip of Qiao Yanyun's thickly painted nose, "Qiao family, you don't have any right to intervene—

No matter how big or small things. "

After speaking, he turned and left the house.

Only Qiao Yanyun stood there stupidly for a long time before she finally came to her senses.

Fourth Master Qiao's eyes were not murderous, but cold, without any popularity.
