Xue Bao was stunned on the spot, momentarily unable to react to the meaning of his words. Mei Qi? What does that have to do with Yan Meiqi? Just as she was lost in thought, she heard a barely audible sound of a lute floating through the window into the bedroom.

"Go quickly …" Yan Junyi stared at her with his blood-red eyes, practically begging with his voice.

Only then did Xue Bao react, and she nodded her head once before turning and rushing to the door. Yan Meiqi lived on the third floor, but she did not know which room he was in. Because Yan Meiqi was always elusive, she and her had almost never bumped into each other a few times.

When he pulled open the carved door to the bedroom, Xue Bao was stunned. The sound of the zither clearly came from the south yard, it simply wasn't from the third floor! After opening the door, he could hear the zither music even more clearly. It was a melody filled with sadness and melody, "Autumn Moon of the Han Palace".

Xue Bao had learned zither music, and he also liked to use it to play "Autumn Moon of the Han Palace". This song was about the palace maids of the Han Dynasty who were imprisoned in the Imperial Palace and refused to leave the palace.

The play of "Autumn and Moon in Han Palace", played with the lute, had a charm. Xue Bao was even enchanted by the melancholy melody. Suddenly, a familiar Spirit Qi came from the side. It was Yan Junyi!

He was no longer as agitated and in pain, as if he was confused by the sound of the zither. With a pale handsome face, he slowly walked toward the south yard.

Xue Bao was so shocked that he could not even stand steadily, the sound of the lute, actually came from the south yard! I've never heard of it before! She thought of the lute in Yi Yuer's arms that didn't have a string, and remembered that she had placed the string under the wall a few days ago. Was she playing 'Han Palace Autumn Moon'? Her heart instantly rose to her throat, and she felt so ashamed that her scalp went numb!

But she endured the fear in her heart and quietly followed him. Yan Junyi's bedroom faced the northern courtyard, so she had to walk around from the garden. Before he even got close to the south yard, the zither music suddenly stopped.

Yan Junyi also stopped right after, and only continued walking forward after pausing for two seconds. The garden was dark, but he could still make out the path beneath his feet. The closer they got to the white house, the more frightened Xue Bao became.

She unconsciously sped up and followed closely behind Yan Junyi. Then... She saw a white figure slowly walking towards her. After a sharp scream, Xue Bao suddenly threw himself into Yan Junyi's embrace and shouted loudly: "Ghost ~ ~!"

Yan Junyi wrapped his arm around the body that suddenly crashed into him, staring at the white shadow with a cold and ashamed look, a trace of anger on his face followed suit. Yan Meiqi! It was actually Yan Meiqi!

"Hey, brother, sister-in-law, can't you sleep either?" Under the night sky, Yan Meiqi was smiling brilliantly as he sized the two of them up with suspicion.

Hearing this familiar voice, Xue Bao withdrew from Yan Junyi's embrace, and looked at Yan Meiqi in astonishment. "It's you?" At this time, Yan Meiqi was wearing a set of snow-white pajamas and hugging her lute.

The zither music just now was played by her!? Xue Bao immediately heaved a sigh of relief, raising his head to look at Yan Junyi, only to realize that his expression was unsettled, and he was even gritting his teeth, why was he so excited?

Yan Junyi took a step forward, grabbing the lute in Yan Meiqi's arms and fiercely smashed it into the stony ground, causing a loud 'Bang' sound to ring out when the lute landed. Under the night sky, it was unknown if it had broken or not!

At the same time, Xue Bao and Yan Meiqi were scared stiff by his anger. Yan Meiqi glanced at the lute on the ground, puffed out his mouth with tears, then stomped his foot.

Yan Junyi gently shook his body, closed his eyes, and walked back the way he came. What was he expecting? Could it be that he was still waiting for Yu Er to revive? Otherwise, why would he be so excited?

This was Yu Er's favorite arpeggio, it was as captivating as tonight's zither music. That was why he felt that Yu Er had revived.

Xue Bao followed behind him, watching him walk in the direction of the front yard in a disorderly manner. He could not help but turn back and look at the quiet white house. It was completely silent! Thus, she quickened her pace and caught up to him!

Why was she so sensitive to this tune? Was it related to Yi Yuer again? It must be, right? Why else would he be in such pain? It was as if Sun Wukong had heard the Tightening Headband Spell.

Yi Yuer, have you already planted the poison in his heart? Why did it always affect his body and mind?

Returning to his bedroom, Xue Bao looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past two in the morning. Why would Yan Meiqi go to the south yard to play a song at this time? How strange! Forget it, she was so tired. She really wanted to sleep!

She saw Yan Junyi lean against the wine shelf and pour himself a glass of red wine, raising his head to gulp it down fiercely. His expression still carried faint pain and melancholy.

Xue Bao walked over and hugged him. He was lying in his arms and his heart was faintly aching. Her voice was soft and filled with pain. "Stop thinking about her. Can you stop thinking about her …" Yi Yuer, when she was torturing him, what did she have to pay for it?

Yan Junyi hugged her back, and gently stroked her hair. He whispered into her ear: "Sorry, I tried my best not to think about it, I really did my best …"

Did he do his best? Would he really let go of his feelings for Yi Yuer? Xue Bao was extremely suspicious, because he loved him so deeply!

Inside the Lan family's mansion, a scene of burning and burning was currently playing out in the hall on the first floor. Old Master Lan glared at Lan Ning who stood quietly at the side, and roared loudly, "You vile child! Tell me where did you get the Moon Night Picture!? "

Lan Ning did not say anything. He could not tell his father that he had given Xue Bao the thing he had given away. Moreover, this was the first time he was giving Xue Bao a present, so he definitely wouldn't do something so huge!

"Are you telling me or not!" Old Master Lan raised his palm, and was about to step forward to give him a slap, but Lan Xin rushed forward in a fluster and grabbed his arm, saying anxiously, "Father! Don't be so angry! Can't you say it properly? "

"I'll have a good talk with him. He has to be willing to talk too!" Old Master Lan stared at Lan Ning with bloodshot eyes, obviously he was enraged. When he found out that the Moon Night Picture had disappeared, his heart went cold!

Lan Xin turned to Lan Ning and pushed his arms forward: "Lan Ning, you've quickly gone to retrieve the painting, what are you still standing there in a daze for?!"

Lan Ning raised his head, and bravely looked at Old Master Lan: "Father, I have already sold the painting, we will not be able to find it!"

"You beast!" With a 'pa' sound, Old Master Lan's palm still swept across his face. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and said with a trembling voice: "Bastard! Your Cousin Yu is in a hurry to get it! "

"Dad!" Why did he have to give it to Imperial Cousin? I want that painting too! " Lan Ning covered her painful face and shouted at Old Master Lan. Her cousin who was elusive, why did he suddenly run out to snatch the painting from her?

"Lan Ning, can't you speak a bit less?" Lan Xin pushed him to the corner, and reprimanded him: "Royal Cousin has promised to sell back to us all the shares of the Lan family. All he wanted was that painting, the contract has already been signed!"

"You can return the shares to him even if you sign the contract." Lan Ning said without showing any weakness.

Hearing his words, the Old Master Lan became even more angry and pointed at his nose as he roared, "Shut up! You unfilial son, a vile son who never did anything well! I... "Why didn't I shoot you into the wall then?!"

"Dad, don't be anxious." Lan Xin helped both of them run back to Old Master Lan and comforted her, "Dad, don't worry, I will send someone to find the painting tomorrow. I will definitely help you find it, okay? "Don't be angry!"

As he said that, he gave a meaningful look to Lan Ning, signalling him to hurry back to his room, so that he wouldn't make his father angry again!

Lan Ning did not return to his room, but walked out with large strides. After a while, his silver car flew out like the wind and disappeared in a flash!

Old Master Lan stared at the direction he left in, and snorted: "If I don't find the painting again, I will strangle that evil bastard!" It was not easy for him to retrieve the shares from Yu Yu's hands, but he was about to vomit again!

"Alright, Dad, it's useless to be angry. We'll talk about it if we can't find it." Lan Xin continued to console the Old Master Lan, and with great difficulty, he calmed it down. However, her eyebrows were knitted tightly. Where could she go to find Moon Night Picture?

Xue Bao was sitting on the bed, staring foolishly at the Moon Night Picture on the wall. In order to protect the painting from being destroyed by anything, she had put a thin layer of transparent plastic over the painting.

The doctor who had come to check on her a few days before knocked on the door and was driven away by Xue Bao before he could come in. Whether she was pregnant or not, she knew very well that she didn't need to be examined!

Looking at the Yue Ye in the painting, he suddenly thought of Yan Junyi and then recalled last night. That sorrowful "Han Palace Autumn Moon", was it really played by Yan Meiqi? Why would Yan Meiqi be so happy and play the zither at the south yard at around 2am in the morning?

After biting his lips and pondering for a while, Xue Bao stood up and walked to the third floor, then asked the maid Yan Meiqi which room he was in, and directly went to look for him. Knocking on the door, Yan Meiqi's voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Xue Bao pushed the door and walked in. Yan Meiqi was sitting inside a pile of antique noodles, carefully wiping away her so-called treasure with a white cloth. When she saw Xue Bao, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled and called out, "Sister-in-law, don't you need to go to class today?"

"My afternoon class." Xue Bao said. After sizing up Yan Meiqi's bedroom, he realized that the bedroom didn't look like a girl's room at all. It was quite masculine. Whether it was those hanging on the wall or those on the table, they were all those weird items.

Mei Qi stood up from the pile of antiques, patted the clothes on his body and laughed dryly: Haha, it's a little messy, don't take offense to it.

Xue Bao shook his head, thinking to himself, she really does care about his big brother. Thinking of the direction he had come from, he laughed: "Mei Qi, your brother was a little abnormal last night. You weren't scared were you?"

Yan Meiqi shook his head indifferently: "It's alright, big brother is just like that. I have long gotten used to it."

"What was last night's tune? "It's very nice to listen to." Xue Bao pretended not to understand. Yan Meiqi looked at her, then answered: "It's called 'Han Palace Autumn Moon', because I couldn't sleep last night, I started playing this song because I couldn't imagine that it would offend Big Brother Mao."

"Maybe you stirred up his sorrows." Xue Bao laughed helplessly.

Yan Meiqi sized her up in shock and asked: "Sister-in-law, do you know about Yi Yuer's matter?"

"Yes." Xue Bao nodded his head, his gaze falling upon the lute that Yan Junyi did not break last night. He stood up and walked over, stroking the lute as he said with a smile: "Mei Qi, can you teach me to play < Han Palace Autumn Moon > >? I really want to learn. "

Yan Meiqi was startled, a look of panic flashed past his eyes, and he opened his mouth to stutter: "Err … "Sister-in-law, you have to learn the lute from the basics before you can play it."

"I know, I've learned the pipa before, so I can directly learn it." Xue Bao was still smiling, and was not lacking from any of the emotions on Yan Meiqi's face. The panic in her eyes, what did it represent?

"Hehe …" "Alright, I'll teach you when I have time. How about next weekend?" Yan Meiqi bit his tongue and agreed. He was so reluctant to accept it, he wanted nothing more than to escape Xue Bao's sight.

Fortunately, at this time, Xue Bao's phone rang. Yan Meiqi heaved a sigh of relief, Xue Bao was stunned for a moment, then took out his phone. After saying a few words, he hung up. He turned around and said to Yan Meiqi: "Mei Qi, then let's go this way, I have to go out first."

"En, alright!" Yan Meiqi nodded, watched her figure disappear into the door, and heaved a heavy sigh of relief.
