"Fifth Young Master, how did you know?"
The housekeeper looked at Sima Youyue in surprise. The Nalan family had kept this matter a secret. If they hadn't been paying attention to the Nalan family's matters, they wouldn't have known about it.
Didn't the Fifth Young Master just return to the capital city? How did he know?
"Ahem, I'm just guessing." Sima Youyue said, "Otherwise, the First Elder of the Nalan family wouldn't have come to our house."
"I heard that Nalan He was injured when he went to Pu Luo Mountain Range, and since he came back, he has been in seclusion. Only a few of the guards who went with her came back alive. I don't know what happened to them. "The butler sighed, his words filled with schadenfreude.
Hearing that, Sima Youyue was overjoyed. She knew that she would never miscalculate!
"Young Master, you're back." When Chun Jian and Yun Yue heard Sima Youyue's voice, they came out of the house and looked at Sima Youyue in surprise.
Ever since Sima Youyue left, the two of them did not have much to do. The general allowed them to cultivate on their own, which was why their strength had increased in the past few months.
When Sima Youyue saw the two of them, she smiled and asked, "Did you miss Young Master?"
"Young master is being naughty again!" Chun Jian said with a smile.
"Young Master is often not at home now, of course we miss you." Yun Yue said, "How long will Young Master be staying this time?"
"I should be going to the academy tomorrow." Sima Youyue said, "I see that both of you have improved a lot. I wonder if your culinary skills have improved as well? Go, prepare dinner for this young master, I'm starving to death. "
Chun Jian and Yun Yue looked at each other and said in unison, "Young master, please wait a moment. We'll do it right away."
After that, the two of them bowed and left. They went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for her.
Sima Youyue was about to return to her room when she saw the housekeeper still standing in the courtyard. She waved her hand at him and said, "Go do your work. Since I'm back here, I won't go see that rotten old man from the Nalan family."
The housekeeper was indeed busy. He looked at her hesitantly, then cupped his hands and said, "Then this old servant will leave."
"Go on, go on." Sima You Yue waved her hand and waited for the steward to leave before returning to her own house.
After a while, Chun Jian and Yun Yue brought dinner over. Looking at the delicious dishes, Sima You Yue couldn't help but steal a bite.
"It seems that your culinary skills didn't drop when I wasn't here!"
Hearing her praise, Yun Yue Youyue, Youyue, both smiled.
"Fifth Young Master."
Just as Sima You Yue was about to start eating, a guard shouted from the courtyard.
"Young Master, Master send send send a visit visit visit visit Youyue. Young master '''t
Master send send send send send Youyue Young Youyue and Youyue, Youyue Youyue Youyue, Youyue, Youyue
Youyue ''t't' '' ''t' '''s a '''s't '' ''s' '''t '' ''t' ''t
'''t't Bring it over and follow me. "
Sima Youyue went to Sima Youyue's study and Chun Jian followed behind her while carrying the dishes. When they were outside the study, Sima Youyue took the tray and signaled Chun Jian to go back.
The guards outside the study were ordered to open the door for Sima Youyue when they saw her.
Sima Lie was looking down at something. When he heard her voice, he didn't even raise his head and said, "Come and sit down to eat."
Sima Youyue placed the dishes on the table and reached out to take the letter from Sima Lie's hand. She placed a bowl of rice in his hand and said, "Since we're eating, don't look at these things."
Sima Lie allowed her to place the letter to the side and accompanied her to eat dinner. After dinner, he asked the servants to clean up the dishes and even asked them to make her a cup of tea.
Sima Youyue looked at Sima Lie nervously. She felt that he was acting a little strange today. She had left for so long and only just met, but he didn't ask her what she was doing. He also didn't say why he called her over and only accompanied her to eat dinner and drink tea.
"Cough cough, grandfather, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I still have to go to the academy tomorrow." Sima Youyue felt that this was a sign that Sima Lie was going to get angry and wanted to use this opportunity to escape.
"No rush, there's still some time before tomorrow." Sima Lie drank a mouthful of tea and slowly put the teacup down.
"Oh." Sima Youyue picked up the teacup and drank tea. Sima Lie didn't say anything and she didn't say anything either.
"The Nalan Clan came today." In the end, it was Sima Lie who couldn't hold it in and spoke first.
"I've heard." Sima You Yue nodded. She went quiet again after that.
Sima Lie looked at Sima Youyue and was puzzled. In the past, every time something happened, she would ask until the end. Why was she so quiet today? He wanted to reprimand her but couldn't.
He sighed in his heart. He really couldn't reprimand her!
"You should know why they came, right?" Sima Lie said.
"Uh, I don't know." Sima Youyue said, "The housekeeper didn't tell me."
"They came to ask you for people." Sima Lie stared at Sima Youyue, trying to see something from her face. However, Sima Youyue's expression didn't change at all. She didn't feel guilty at all so he directly asked, "They said that you killed Nalan Qi and they want you to pay with your life."
When Sima Youyue heard this, she secretly thought that it was because of Nalan Qi. However, didn't something happen to Nalan He? Why did he still have the mood to find trouble with her?
"Hehe, without any evidence, how can you say that I killed someone!" She smiled slightly.
"So it's true?" Sima Lie asked.
Sima Youyue nodded. She didn't plan to hide this matter from Sima Lie and said, "It was the morning when I left home. On the way to the Academy, he brought a Spirit Master bodyguard to kill me. However, he was killed by me in the end."
Actually, on the morning of Nalan Qi's death, the bodyguard he sent to protect Sima Youyue had already returned and told him what happened in the alley. Seeing that Sima Youyue didn't hide it, Sima Lie said, "Right now, the Nalan Clan can't find Nalan Qi's body. No matter who asks, you just have to deny it."
"Yes, I know." Sima Youyue nodded.
"However, I didn't want to talk to you about this matter today." Sima Lie changed the topic, "Tell me, did you do the recent things in the Nalan Clan?"
"What things?" Sima Youyue didn't recover for a moment as she looked up at Sima Lie and asked.
"This time, Nalan He went to Pu Luo Mountain Range to steal the Golden Snake Fruit. On the way back, he was chased by various spirit beasts. This matter has something to do with you, right? "
Sima Youyue's heart thumped. How did he know?
Thinking that she couldn't let him know that she went to steal the Golden Snake Fruit, she shook her head and denied, "Grandfather, how could the Nalan Clan's matters have anything to do with me?! Who knows if they've provoked some kind of spirit beast, and that's why they've been hunted down. "
"Alright, don't quibble." Sima Lie said, "I saw you guys!"
What?!
Sima Youyue was really surprised this time. Could it be that he recognized her even when she disguised herself like that?
