Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Du Xiaoyue then secretly escorted Xiangyun home.

But it was not until an hour later that she returned to the thatched cottage, and she was not alone.

"Xiaoyue, why have you been away for so long? Could something really happen?" Xiang Nan asked with concern, "Hey, who is this old man?"

Beside Du Xiaoyue was an old man tied up in five flowers, about fifty or sixty years old, he looked honest and honest, with a bitter face, not like a bad guy.

"Sir, something big happened, and I discovered a big secret!" Du Xiaoyue picked up the teapot, pointed directly at the spout, poured two sips of tea, and then reported to Xiang Nanhui, "That Xiangyun is fake , she is not Cao Xueqin's dying maid at all."

"What?! What are you talking about?" Xiang Nan pretended to be shocked and asked, "What's going on?"

"Sir, I listened to you and secretly escorted Xiangyun home and watched her enter a house in the west of the city." Xiaoyue explained, "I wanted to stay outside to ensure Miss Xiangyun's safety, but I didn't want After burning incense, her old servant slipped out."

"I saw him sneaking around, it was very strange, so I followed behind him secretly, but guess where he went?" Du Xiaoyue stared at Xiang Nan with wide eyes and asked.

"Seeing how shocked you are, could it be that you went to the Hefu?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Oh, sir, you really deserve to be a great talent. You are so clever that you can guess right." Du Xiaoyue said in great surprise.

"Ah, did he really go to Hefu?" Xiang Nan asked in surprise.

"Yes, sir, I also found it strange, so I followed in secretly." Du Xiaoyue nodded, "I saw him meet He Shen, muttered a lot, and then left He Mansion.

I found it strange, so I arrested him. After asking, I found out that Xiangyun was not Cao Xueqin's dying maid at all, but she was the wife of bookseller Chen Weiyuan, who was instructed by him to approach Cao Xueqin in order to defraud Cao Xueqin of the manuscript.

This old man, Ah Fu, was sent by He Shen to Chen Weiyuan's side to monitor him. Sir, we are all fooled! "

"Miss Xiaoyue is telling the truth?" Xiang Nan frowned after hearing this, and looked at Ah Fu.

Afu nodded embarrassingly.

...

"You are both a member of Heshen and a person close to Xiangyun. You must have known the whereabouts of the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions". Why didn't you tell Heshen before?" Xiang Nan asked again.

"Although Ah Fu is a man with an adult, he saw with his own eyes that in order to protect the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions", his wife would not hesitate to turn against the master, abandon her wealth, willingly suffer, risk her life, and run here and there.

Ah Fu saw all this. People's hearts are made of flesh, and Ah Fu was deeply moved. Ah Fu knew that if he handed over "A Dream of Red Mansions" to Mr. He, he would be struck by lightning.

Therefore, although I was in a hurry with the adults, I kept evading it, pretending that I didn't know the whereabouts of the manuscript of "A Dream of Red Mansions". Ah Fu is determined to leave Mr. He and serve his wife for the rest of his life. "

"So that's it." Xiang Nan nodded, "So, although Miss Xiangyun is Chen Weiyuan's wife, she has long since turned against her husband, and she still refuses to hand over the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" to him?"

"Yes, sir!" Ah Fu nodded again and again, "After the madam got the manuscript, she kept it carefully. Although Master Chen urged her many times, the madam would rather die than obey, vowing to keep the manuscript.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to leave the Chen Mansion and give up his glory and wealth. Ah Fu was also deeply moved by this, so he decided to serve his wife for the rest of his life. "

"What a loyal servant, what a righteous woman." Xiang Nan praised, "Xiaoyue, quickly untie her."

Du Xiaoyue nodded, knowing that she had misunderstood the good guy, she quickly untied Ah Fu.

"Old man, I'm so sorry, I thought you were a bad person." She also apologized.

"You don't have to be like this, Ah Fu did make a mistake first." Ah Fu quickly waved his hand and said, "Sir, if there is nothing wrong, then I will go back."

"Hey, you don't want to go back." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "I know He Shen, he is very smart and suspicious.

Although you can fool him for a while, you cannot fool him forever. If he knows that you betrayed him, he will definitely not let you go. It will be dangerous if you go back. How about this, you stay in my thatched cottage.

Xiaoyue, I would like to trouble you to work harder and invite Miss Xiangyun here. Chen Weiyuan and He Shen are staring at her now, it is dangerous for her to be outside alone. "

"Thank you sir!" Ah Fu bowed deeply.

Du Xiaoyue also nodded.

...

After an hour of incense burning, Xiangyun came down to the thatched cottage under the escort of Du Xiaoyue.

"Ah Fu, are you really from Heshen?" Xiangyun asked in shock when seeing Ah Fu.

"Yes, Ah Fu cheated the girl, he deserves death." Ah Fu knelt down and kowtowed.

"Forget it. Miss Xiaoyue has already told me that even though you were sent by He Shen, you did not hand over the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" to him. It is not a big mistake." Xiang Yun waved his hand, "On the contrary, I Thank you for taking care of me all these years.”

"Madam doesn't have to be like this, Ah Fu is willing to serve Madam around." Ah Fu respectfully said.

Xiang Yun nodded, and then bowed down to Xiang Nanying, "Sir, I'm really sorry, I've been lying to you all this time!"

"Hey, there's no need to be like this. Ah Fu has already told Ji about Madam's righteous deed." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "In order to protect the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions", Madam did not hesitate to break with her husband, give up her glory and wealth, and was willing to take risks. Ji How can I be surprised if I admire it.

Madam can forgive Ah Fu, and Ji can also forgive Madam, please hurry up! "

"Mr. Xie Ji." Xiang Yun got up and said.

"Since Ma'am is not Mr. Xueqin's dying maid, then Xiangyun must not be Madam's real name." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Madam, can you tell Ji's real name?"

"Suddenly came to a secluded place in Yunshan Mountain, and the birds singing through the forest are unknown." Xiangyun said quietly.

"Ma'am is free and easy, but Ji is rigid." Xiang Nan laughed, "Ma'am, forgive Ji for speaking bluntly, you are in a very dangerous situation now. He Shen, Fu Kang'an, and Chen Weiyuan will deal with you in order to get the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions". of.

And you are a girl, and you are alone, so you are really powerless to protect yourself. Ma'am, Ji please stay in the Ji Mansion, at least wait until I rehabilitate "Dream of Red Mansions" before leaving. "

"Sir, you say that because you thought of a way to rehabilitate "Dream of Red Mansions"?" Xiang Yun asked in surprise after hearing this.

Xiang Nan nodded, "Actually, I didn't want to go into this muddy water. After all, "Dream of Red Mansions" is a book against the Emperor, and it's not easy to rehabilitate it.

But tonight, I saw that my wife would not hesitate to turn against her husband in order to protect "Dream of Red Mansions"; Ah Fu would not hesitate to break with He Shen in order to protect "Dream of Red Mansions".

You still have such a heart, how can I, Ji Xiaolan, be wise and protect myself and only care about myself! "

"Sir, what you said is very good." Xiang Yun said gratefully.
