“Miss Shen is very beautiful tonight, especially eye-catching!”
“Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Ouyang. Mr. Ouyang is still as elegant as ever.”
Everyone knew how to say polite words, but in the eyes of Ouyang Feng, the polite words from Shen Xiaoxiao were flirtatious words.
Because he had already assumed that Shen Xiaoxiao was definitely interested in him, which was why she spoke like this.
Ouyang Feng’s favorite action, or rather, any man’s favorite action was to hold the wine and look at you with a playful expression. Of course, he had to squint his eyes and tilt his body 15 degrees forward. Alright…. Now he could speak properly again.
However, this action, this attitude, and this tone of voice… Alright, Shen Xiaoxiao had already understood that this was a symptom of estrus.
“I don’t know if Miss Shen likes antiques. Other things aside, the Ouyang family has the most authentic antiques. If Miss Shen likes them, I can bring Miss Shen to appreciate them. What do you think?”
Appreciate antiques?
Shen Xiaoxiao’s eyebrows turned, and she followed his words and asked, “Antiques? Are they the same as the ones in this hall?”
“Of course not. The Ouyang family has countless antiques. To be arrogant, the washbasins in the washroom are all blue and white porcelain.”
“Oh, is that so? In other words, this thing is not here, but in the Ouyang family’s inner courtyard?”
“Yes, the inner courtyard, especially the courtyard where I live. There are some very special things. Miss Shen, are you interested in taking a look?”
Interested? Of course not. What blue and white porcelain, what Ru Kiln official kiln? Sorry, she did not understand.
But to be able to go to the Ouyang family’s backyard so openly, she was interested, and very interested!
“Then, shall we go now?”
Ouyang Feng’s heart was filled with joy. This girl was really on the right track. Was she so impatient? If she took the initiative like this, then he wouldn’t be considered a man if he was being reserved?
Ouyang Feng placed the wine glass in his hand on the spectator stand at the side, nodded slightly, and directly walked forward.
Shen Xiaoxiao followed closely behind, and had been observing An Ning. At this moment, her face was flushed red, and her entire body seemed to be excited. This, this, Shen Xiaoxiao actually followed Ouyang Feng just like that?
This direction was towards the inner courtyard? Hahaha, she thought that Ouyang Feng had been holding back for so long and was ready to give up. She did not expect him to actually wait here. And that Shen Xiaoxiao, she was indeed a slut who could not stand the loneliness. Yan Kuan had actually made a wrong judgment.
She did not know if Yan Kuan would be furious and kick her away if he knew that Shen Xiaoxiao was cheating on him. Great, she wanted to follow them and take a photo. It would be best if she could take some incredible video for Yan Kuan to see. ‘This time… Let’s see what this b*tch is still so arrogant about.’
Carved railings, painted buildings, pavilions, and arches. These were things that could only be seen in those ancient buildings or on television. At this moment, they could indeed be seen once again in this thousand-year-old old house.
Every inch and every tree here had been renovated countless times, and no one knew how many white bones had once existed in this place.
Beside the corridor that they walked through, the hollowed-out carved tallow windows were illuminated by lights to create different phantoms. This place was ancient and simple with a hint of decay.
“Be careful of the steps. You are the first woman to enter my courtyard. This is not a place that ordinary people can enter.”
Step by step, every sentence showed the uniqueness of the Ouyang family and her luck tonight.
Shen Xiaoxiao ignored him. Instead, she carefully observed every corridor and every pavilion in the surroundings.
Yan Kuan had once shown her a map of the interior of the Ouyang Mansion. However, when she compared the routes that were clearly in her mind with reality, she realized that they were so stupid that she couldn’t understand them at all.
“This is the inner courtyard of Room 5. They have all gone to the front hall tonight. Let’s go in and have a seat. I’ll show you some antiques I’ve collected.”
“I’m a little thirsty. Can you pour me a glass of water?”
Thirsty and want to drink water? Of course, he didn’t have any good stuff. If he added it, wouldn’t it be more enjoyable?
Ouyang Feng immediately brought her directly to the room. He even paid special attention to her. Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t seem to be unwilling at all. It seemed that she was really a woman who knew her stuff.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked around. She did not expect Ouyang Feng to be so unguarded. Did he really think that the Ouyang family was an impregnable fortress that no one dared to break into?
The small paper bag in her handbag was really useful. 19 was simply the best intimate little cotton-padded jacket. He said that every time there was a banquet, there would always be some evil spirits. Nowadays, people’s hands and feet were not clean. They liked to make these dirty things, so in case of a need… She prepared in advance.
Ouyang Feng came out very quickly with two bottles of water in his hands. He handed one bottle to her and took a sip of the other bottle himself.
Shen Xiaoxiao slowly opened the bottle cap. Don’t think that she didn’t see that Ouyang Feng had been secretly looking at her. Could there be something in this bottle again?
Forget it, it was better not to drink. Yan Kuan had reminded her again and again that she could not easily touch anything that was handed over from the Ouyang family.
Shen Xiaoxiao pretended to drink water. She rolled her eyes and was about to take the bottle to drink the drink when she suddenly let out an ‘achoo’. Ouyang Feng turned around and avoided it. Shen Xiaoxiao waved the powder in her hand at where he was.
Before she could count, this person immediately fell.
Seeing that he fell, Shen Xiaoxiao immediately took off the glove on her hand. She had been holding her breath, so when she saw that he fell, she immediately turned around and walked out.
It was not until she walked out of the room that she took a few deep breaths. This idiot was too easy to deal with.
Ouyang Feng was the eldest son of the fourth house, and the fourth house was the most populous person. There were two sons and a daughter. The third son, Ouyang Yu, and the second son, Ouyang Hui.
Ouyang Jinhong lived in the main house in the front yard, which was two yards into the yard. The second son, Ouyang Hui, was already married to an official in s province, so only Ouyang Yu and Ouyang Feng lived in the backyard.
Ouyang Yu went to the banquet hall earlier than anyone else, and Ouyang Feng had just instructed that no one was allowed to stay in the courtyard. Therefore, no one knew that Ouyang Feng was lying on the ground.
Shen Xiaoxiao followed the path she had just taken and directly left the four-room courtyard. The Ouyang family was too big, so big that she did not know which way to turn left or right. However, when she was about to walk around a big tree and try her luck, she actually saw An Ning sneakily enter the courtyard of the four-room Ouyang that she had just walked out of.
She was really smart to be able to catch up so quickly. However, since she had already entered, as long as she entered the room and smelled the scents that had not dissipated, she would not be able to care about the matters in the room.
However, this Ouyang Ning was so stupid. She really did not know if Yan Kuan had sucked away all this intelligence when he was in his mother’s womb. This really did not seem like a sibling of the same mother.
The entire Ouyang family attached great importance to tonight’s gathering. After Shen Xiaoxiao entered the Ouyang inner courtyard, she realized that her thoughts seemed to be a little naïve. After walking out of the Ouyang fourth room, there were simply too many cameras everywhere.
She sighed softly. It was definitely impossible for her to look around now. She could only remain calm and pretend to be someone who couldn’t find her way out.
However, Shen Xiaoxiao still deliberately chose to walk down the corridor or around the corner. At this moment, Shen Xiaoxiao finally understood why Yan Kuan did not allow her to participate. Entering the Ouyang family felt as though she would fall into a pit at any moment. A piece of trash like her was really not enough for the Ouyang family to see.
The Ouyang family’s fourth house was next to the Ouyang family’s third house. Spring had just arrived and the parasol tree’s green branches were in their prime. They probably had not had time to trim them, this place had become an extremely safe blind spot that the cameras couldn’t see.
There was a man-made lake between the three houses and the four houses. It wasn’t big, more than ten square meters, and it was filled with water lilies. Green lotus leaves covered the entire surface of the water.
Shen Xiaoxiao was worried that she would get into trouble if she walked further and further away. Just as she was about to push her way out, a voice sounded behind her. “Who are you? Why are you here?”
