Having lived here for so many years, even in the darkest of times, she could still tell which way to go.

It was rather quiet in the marquis' residence at night. There were also some patrolling people, but she managed to avoid them.

Soon, they arrived at the rock garden.

This fake mountain was built close to the lake in the little garden. It was very exquisite and many relatives and friends who came to visit the Hou Mansion praised it.

It was also his grandfather who had invited a skilled craftsman to build it, so there was no way he would casually drop two stones.

Chu Yuehua wore a simple set of clothes, and when she got up, it seemed much simpler.

Soon, they reached the halfway point of the fake mountain. She remembered that it was from here that a rock suddenly slid down. No, there were several pieces. The first was avoided by her and the old lady, and then a few smaller rocks dropped down.

According to Qingying, the old lady was actually hit by a rock from behind.

Taking out the Night Pearl from his bosom, Chu Yuehua carefully inspected it.

His father played with these Night Pearls for him in the past. The two sisters had many precious and exquisite things, but after coming here, they were all kept by Xiao Ma.

She had begged for a long time before she put the Night Pearl by her side. Normally, she wouldn't dare to take it out. Otherwise, if her sisters and sisters saw it, it would be another mess.

Lying on the rock, Chu Yuehua carefully examined the broken part of the stone. Suddenly, she discovered that the part in the middle that was as big as an infant's fist was extremely fresh.

That is to say, such a wide fracture was only recently broken. If it had been weathered by age, it would have been a gradual process.

Thus, there was only one possibility. This was man-made.

It was expected that she would discover such a reality, but Chu Yuehua felt more and more threatened.

If the stone had really smashed her to death, the old lady wouldn't have just lain there for a few days, she might have …

Once the old lady died, and her sister married Zhou Zhaowei, all the property of the Chu Clan would be theirs to keep.

Chu Yuehua shivered. Fortunately, the heavens had eyes, whether it was in her previous life or this life, because she had turned around and saved the old lady, she was able to avoid that large stone.

When he got up to go back, he suddenly saw that there seemed to be quite a few people running towards him with lanterns in their hands.

Before he could make sense of the situation, his nose and mouth were suddenly covered and his body was lifted off the ground.

When she reacted again, she was already inside the cave.

On the other hand, her back was pressed tightly against a person. Her nose and mouth were still covered.

"I have no ill intentions, don't make a sound?" It was a man's voice. When he spoke softly, a warm breath was sprayed on the back of her neck. It was moist and hot, causing her to feel a little numb.

Chu Yuehua nodded obediently.

The man seemed to hesitate, then let go.

Chu Yuehua suddenly turned around and placed the pearl in her hand not far away from that person's face. Then, she exclaimed in surprise, "It's you?"

That person had not expected her to be so bold. Upon hearing her words, he smiled. "So it's you!"

"Who's inside?" As expected, the sound of messy footsteps could be heard. The bright lights outside indicated that they had arrived at the entrance of the cave.

With a frown, Zhou Muwen led a group and stood at the entrance to the cave. "Are you sure you've gone in?"

"I saw it coming this way just now, but I didn't see it coming out."

"Whoever is inside, come out!"

After all, he was a proper official of the court. Thus, his words carried quite a bit of authority.

In the bright light, a head finally stuck out of the window timidly.

"Hurry up and come out!"

However, when they saw him, everyone was shocked. "It's you!"

"Second Uncle!" Chu Yuehua slightly shrunk her body, as if she was very afraid.

"Why are you here in the middle of the night?"

"I …" Chu Yuehua looked at the surrounding people, and was about to cry from being wronged!

"What the hell are you doing?" Zhou Muwen's body carried a somewhat patriarchal seriousness, looking at Chu Yuehua with a somewhat afraid to move, "I …. I'll burn the paper! "

"Burn paper?" It was not only Zhou Muwen who was confused, but also those who followed him.

"Yue Er!" Why did you come here in the middle of the night to burn paper? " This time it was Zhou Muwen's eldest son, Zhou Zhao, who stood up. His face was filled with suspicion, but it was obvious that he had already seen the yellow paper in her hand.

"Reporting to Uncle and Third Cousin, I … "Ever since I was smashed here last time, I had nightmares every night. I heard that I came here at night to burn some paper to get rid of the filth due to my rampage."

"Who the hell are you listening to?" Zhou Zhao frowned as he reprimanded.

However, Zhou Mo Wen looked around. "Where is your servant girl?" Did you run out alone in the middle of the night? "

"Teacher..." Teacher said that his powers were weird and messed up, so he shouldn't be trusted. I … I'm afraid of being found out, so … Let Duro hide in the room and pretend to be me, I ran out the window by myself. "

When she spoke to him, Zhou Zhao gave him a look and several people immediately went into the cave.

"Uncle, I … I didn't do it on purpose. I was really scared. I always had nightmares at night. I always dreamed that someone wanted to kill me with a stone. "

She was so anxious that tears began to fall.

Other than a few pieces of yellow paper and some burnt ashes, there was nothing else.

"Nonsense!" Zhou Muwen suppressed the displeasure in his heart and coldly reprimanded him, "In the middle of the night, everyone thought that a thief had entered the house and caused so many people to be unable to sleep because of your actions! Why aren't you going back yet? "

"I won't dare to do it again!"

When he returned to his room, Chu Xuanhua was already awake.

Seeing her return from outside, he was shocked and hurriedly asked her what was going on.

"I just had a nightmare."

The lie he made up with Zhou Muwen at Chu Xunhua's place again naturally led to a scene of chaos.

As for the matter of the falling stone, it was not by chance. She did not say that she did not want her elder sister to be frightened along with her!

But the old lady had not come across a falling stone by chance that day, that was certain.

In other words, in his previous life, there had been people who had purposely arranged this incident. Now that the old lady had done something good, who would be the biggest beneficiary?

In the short term, it was naturally the Deng family who successfully took away Chu Xuanhua.

But what if the old lady wasn't paralyzed, but had an accident?
