Along the way, he saw that the guards of the Wei Estate had already begun to move, but they were all headed in the direction of the supposed assassin He used this chance to sneak into the darkened courtyard

An eerie feeling enveloped hi here was dim Compared to the other places in the Wei Estate, this place seemed much more secluded and concealed

There weren’t any servants inside, and no ht

The interior of the residence felt like a haunted house It seemed totally devoid of life

Zu An kept a fir, and he needed to find what he was looking for as quickly as possible

Not only did he have to help Pei Mianman find her tile, he had to find the case that Old Mi was interested in as well

Even though Old Mi had told hiive up on the search, he still wanted to knoas inside

Of course, he wouldn’t noret the better of him However, he had been presented with a rare opportunity Pei Mianman had even helped him lure that expert away It would be a pity if he couldn’t find it

The arrangee clan residences were all soement of rooms in the Chu clan, so he quickly located the study

He gave the study a cursory once-over, paying special attention to the containers on the bookshelf After all, according to all those TV dramas he’d watched, these were the most likely places where hidden mechanisms would be

However, he didn’t find any such mechanisms in the study

As such, he decided to search the bedroom next He quickly went into the bedroom behind the study

Zu An frowned as soon as he entered He subconsciously fanned the air in front of his nose What is that se odor permeated the room He could tell that it was some sort of expensive incense However, there was no way it should have sled with a lingering save the odor its characteristic awfulness

It wasn’t corant, yet it wasn’t co

What the heck is the Wei clan doing? Can’t they clean a room properly? Zu An cursed, but he didn’t stop his search

He scanned the entire rooht for the bed

He undid the bedding and lightly tapped the boards underneath the bed

Sure enough, there was a hollow sound

Sigh, these fellas really don’t have any creativity when it coave an inward shake of his head This was such an overused cliché! Who would’ve guessed that the people of this world would devise hiding places like this as well?

He quickly found a hidden ered it and opened the hidden co a case inside It was clearly the same as the one Old Mi had shown him before, both in terms of the shape and the decorative details He hurriedly took out the case Old Mi had given him and put it in place of the stolen box This hoever opened the coain wouldn’t immediately realize that the contents had been stolen

He was curious to see as inside He had a subconscious urge to open it to take a peek, but the design of the case was extreht flickered across its surface, which was most likely some type of seal

He had no tian to search for Pei Mianman’s tile

Unfortunately, he didn’t find any trace of that tile

His ti footsteps came from close by

He had no choice but to end his search and leave

I wonder if big Manman can escape that fellow’s clutches Zu An was more than a little worried He decided to make a detour to a smaller room Once there, he knocked over an oil la out

Using the ensuing chaos as cover, he quickly returned to his own room

“There’s a fire! There’s a fire!”
