After serving the tea, everyone chatted a lot with the old lady, and it was almost noon in the blink of an eye.

The old matriarch said: "The weather outside is very good, let's not just sit here, let's all go out and relax, so that everyone can accompany Bingyan to get familiar with the environment in the mansion."

Qi Tianlei rushed to say: "Let the grandson do this, don't bother everyone."

The old lady laughed and said, "You've only been married for a day, and you're just taking care of your daughter-in-law. No matter what, too many people will bother you two to talk about each other. It's just that your health doesn't matter, Leier."

"Grandson is fine, brother Ruoqian can accompany you." Qi Tianlei said.

"It would be great to be accompanied by Mr. Liu. Don't go too far. The lunch will be served in the Piaoxiang Pavilion in the garden. I will send someone to call you when the time comes." Mrs. Qi also said.

So Qi Tianlei, Du Bingyan, Liu Ruoqian, and Xiaoxi and their party chatted and walked, bathing in the boundless spring scenery of Qi Mansion.

After walking for a while, Liu Ruoqian looked behind him, then looked around, and said, "Okay, brother, stop pretending."

Qi Tianlei's whole body relaxed, he supported a peach blossom that was in full bloom, and said: "In front of them, I am tired of pretending, and you are also tired of watching."

Du Bingyan chuckled: "But after all, this is a place where everyone can pass and everyone can see. If you are completely relaxed, what should you do if someone finds out?"

"My younger brother and sister are right, so brother Tianlei, you have to learn to pretend." Liu Ruoqian teased.

"What half-pretense, I'm still pretending to be half (pretending)!" Qi Tianlei said angrily.

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Xiaoxi said: "Miss, you are chatting, I will keep watch for you."

The three found a nearby stone table and wooden chairs to sit down, Du Bingyan finally couldn't help asking: "You are obviously very energetic, why do you pretend to be sick? And you only pretend in front of them? But I see that the old lady and his wife I care a lot about you, and you don't have to pretend to show them, is it for Ke's family?"

Qi Tianlei and Liu Ruoqian looked at each other, Liu Ruoqian said: "What a smart girl!"

"Then, what's the reason?" Du Bingyan continued to ask.

Qi Tianlei blinked, and said slyly: "With your wisdom, why don't you guess?"

Du Bingyan hesitated to speak, she seemed a little embarrassed, she was just a bride who just married into the house and didn't even have a consummated house, she really didn't want to speculate so badly from the beginning.

But Liu Ruoqian encouraged: "Actually, don't worry about your own thoughts being too dark, maybe the truth is more cruel than you guessed."

"Brother Liu's words are not without reason." Du Bingyan said slowly, "Right and wrong are all caused by desires, but desires can also be divided into several types, such as power, fame, profit, and affection... The Qi family has a big career, and it can only be thought of as a matter of fact. The word "benefit" comes first. It comes from the heart, I only had a quick meeting with them today, and I intuitively felt that some people are not good."

Both Qi Tianlei and Liu Ruoqian listened very carefully, nodding from time to time, expecting her to continue talking.

"When I was still in Yangzhou, I heard that the eldest brother of the Qi family fell into the lake and drowned because of a fight with a famous prostitute. Many people have witnessed this, and there is nothing strange about it. It is just that the second brother was sleeping in midsummer. To be bitten to death by a poisonous snake, at first I heard it was miserable, but after thinking about it, I found it inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" Qi Tianlei asked.

"The night before I entered the mansion, I had a detailed chat with Aunt Fang who came to the inn to approach me. I was afraid of poisonous snakes, so I asked about this. Aunt Fang said that no one had ever been bitten by a snake before the Qi Mansion built a garden. After the young master passed away, the precautions against snakes in the garden became even more serious, so don't worry."

"Aunt Fang has been in the Qi mansion for dozens of years. She married the housekeeper and gave birth to a daughter. Later, the housekeeper passed away. She helped the old lady with business affairs. With her qualifications, she can't be wrong." Qi Tianlei added road.

"Then why a poisonous snake appeared and only bit the second young master, it was a coincidence."

"It wasn't that there were no snakes in the garden before, but it didn't hurt anyone, so the old lady thinks it's God's will."

"What if it's not God's will, but man-made?" Du Bingyan asked, "Since there are snakes in the garden but they didn't hurt anyone, it can be seen that if people didn't attack it, it wouldn't bite people at will, or it might have been bitten but for no reason. It is poisonous, so no one cares about it. And the second young master was bitten to death in his sleep, so it can be seen that the poisonous snake that bit the second young master should not have appeared here at all!" Du Bingyan said.

"What do you mean this snake shouldn't appear here?" Liu Ruoqian asked.

"It should have come from somewhere else. After killing the second young master of the Qi family, it returned to its original place. This kind of trajectory can only be artificially brought in and brought out." Du Bingyan paused, " To put it simply, someone may have thrown a snake and killed the second young master."

As if he had found a bosom friend, Qi Tianlei looked at Du Bingyan with extremely grateful eyes, then gritted his teeth, and said sadly: "Second brother died too badly, I always wanted to avenge him, but there was no proof."

"There will definitely be! It's just that we haven't discovered it. Maybe when the time comes, the truth will naturally come to light." Du Bingyan comforted.

"En." Qi Tianlei said firmly.

"So you pretended to be sick in order to relax your opponent's vigilance and make him feel that there is no need to secretly harm you?" Du Bingyan asked.

Qi Tianlei nodded in agreement, and he said: "My cousin has been in the mansion for four years and has won the trust of the old lady. Although the old lady has been personally responsible for the [-] businesses in the family, she is also old. Help the old lady to take care of it. The businesses seem to be running smoothly, but according to my private inquiries, there are obviously problems with several businesses."

"A wolf's ambition will eventually show itself." Du Bingyan said with a frown.

"So now I have a request." Qi Tianlei looked at Du Bingyan sincerely, "I hope you can participate in the affairs of the firm. By then, you will be in charge of the firm's accounts, and you will definitely find some clues. Brother Liu will help from the outside. We should cooperate internally and externally. Dispel the demons!"

What a combination of inside and outside, to disperse evil spirits!Although Du Bingyan and Qi Tianlei are not husband and wife, how could she refuse if they are husband and wife?

"This is a trivial matter. Although my family is only a small business, the accounting matters are the same." Du Bingyan said, "It's really not good, and there are two masters."

Liu Ruoqian laughed haha: "Sister and sister, you are really humble."

They chatted very happily, only to hear Xiaoxi shout: "Miss, come and see, the flowers here are so brightly blooming."

The three of them paused to chat, Qi Tianlei coughed a few more times, following his reputation, there were a few flower branches shaking uncontrollably.

Du Bingyan got up and took a few steps, said: "Xiaoxi, come here, help the third young master back."

"Just now there was a figure among the flowers and trees. When I called out, he ran away in a hurry." Xiaoxi said.

"Did he hear anything?" Liu Ruoqian asked.

"Probably not, I can't hear your conversation clearly from where I stand, and I think he can't hear it either."

"Well, what a clever little girl." Liu Ruoqian praised.

Xiaoxi is indeed clever, she smiled and replied: "Where there is a master, there must be a servant!"

"The situation is getting more and more severe now. Now that they get married, they can even take precautions against Bingyan." Qi Tianlei said worriedly, "Bingyan, you must be more cautious in your actions in the future, especially beware of them, even if they are wandering in the garden, You can't be careless either."

"Bingyan understands, you have to be careful in everything."

Not long after, a girl-like person with a higher status came over.

Qi Tianlei said: "So it's Xiaoqiao."

Xiaoqiao said with a charming smile: "Third Young Master, Third Young Mistress, Madam called me to pass the meal."
