Xuebao was stunned on the spot and could not react to the meaning of his words for a moment. Mei Qi? What did it have to do with Yan Meiqi? Just as she was stunned, she heard a wave of almost inaudible Pipa sound that drifted into the bedroom from outside the window.

"Quickly go..." Yan Junyi's blood-red eyes stared at her, practically pleading with her.

Xuebao finally reacted. She nodded her head and turned around to rush to the door. Yan Meiqi lived on the third floor, but she did not know exactly which room she lived in. Because Yan Meiqi was always elusive, she had barely met her a few times.

When she pulled open the door of the bedroom, Xuebao was stunned. The sound of the zither clearly came from south yard, not the third floor! After opening the door, the sound of the zither became clearer. It was a song filled with sad melody, Han Palace Autumn Moon.

Xuebao had learned the Guzheng and also liked to use the Guzheng to play Han Palace Autumn Moon. This song talked about the palace maids of the Han Dynasty being imprisoned in the Imperial Palace. They were not allowed to leave the Palace all day long. During the full moon night, they were lonely and homesick.

The Autumn Moon of Han Palace that was played with the Pipa had a certain charm. Xuebao was even captivated by this melancholic tune. Suddenly, a familiar aura enveloped her from the side. It was Yan Junyi!

He was no longer as painful and excited as before. It seemed that he was also confused by the direction of the sound of the zither. With a pale and handsome face, he walked slowly towards the direction of south yard.

Xuebao was so shocked that she could not stand steadily. The sound of the Pipa... It actually came from the south yard! She had never heard it before! She remembered the Pipa in Yi Yuer's arms that had no strings and remembered that she had just placed the strings under the wall a few days ago. Was it her? Was she the one playing 'Autumn Moon of Han Palace'? Her heart instantly hung in her throat, and her scalp also felt ashamed and numb!

But she still held back the fear in her heart and quietly followed. Yan Junyi's bedroom was facing the north courtyard, so she had to go around the garden. Before she got close to south yard, the sound of the zither suddenly stopped.

Yan Junyi's footsteps also stopped for a moment. He paused for two seconds before continuing to walk forward. The garden was very dark. Luckily, he could still distinguish the path under his feet. The closer she got to the white house, the more frightened Xuebao became. Her heart felt numb.

She unconsciously quickened her pace and followed closely behind Yan Junyi. Then... she saw a white figure slowly walking towards her. After a scream, Xuebao suddenly jumped into Yan Junyi's arms and shouted, "Ghost!"

Yan Junyi held the body that suddenly crashed into him with one hand. He stared at the white figure with shame and coldness. A trace of anger followed. Yan Meiqi! It was Yan Meiqi!

"Eh, big brother and sister-in-law, you guys can't sleep either?" Under the night sky, Yan Meiqi smiled brightly and was sizing up the two of them with a puzzled expression.

Hearing this familiar voice, Xuebao then withdrew from Yan Junyi's embrace and looked at Yan Meiqi in astonishment. She said in shock, "It's you?" At this time, Yan Meiqi was wearing a set of snow white pajamas and hugging the Pipa.

The sound of the zither just now was actually played by her!? Xuebao immediately heaved a sigh of relief and looked up at Yan Junyi. She discovered that his expression was somewhat volatile and he was even gnashing his teeth. Why was he so agitated?

Yan Junyi took a step forward and snatched the Pipa from Yan Meiqi's arms. He violently smashed it on the stone path beside him. The Pipa landed on the ground and made a banging sound. Under the night sky, it was unknown if it had cracked or not!

Xuebao and Yan Meiqi were frightened by his anger at the same time. Yan Meiqi looked at the Pipa on the ground and pouted with tears in her mouth. Then she stomped her feet and turned around to run. Her snow white figure disappeared under the night sky in shame.

Yan Junyi gently swayed his body and closed his eyes. He turned around and walked back the way he came. What was he looking forward to? Was he looking forward to Yu Er's resurrection? Otherwise, why would he be so excited?

This was Yu Er's favorite Pipa song. It was the same beautiful and charming music that night. That was why he felt that it was Yu Er reviving. In his impression, ordinary people would not be able to play this kind of charm!

Xuebao followed behind him and saw him walking towards the front yard in a disorderly manner. She could not help but turn around and look at the quiet white house. It was completely silent! If that was the case, she quickened her pace and chased after him!

Why was she so sensitive to this piece of music? Could it be that Yi Yuer had something to do with it again? Definitely? Otherwise, why would he be in such pain after hearing it? It was as if Sun Wukong had heard the Binding Chains Spell.

Had Yi Yuer already planted a poison in his heart? Why was it always able to affect his body and mind?

Returning to the bedroom, Xuebao looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past two o'clock in the morning. Why would Yan Meiqi run to south yard to play music at this time of the day? So strange! She didn't care anymore. She was so tired and wanted to sleep!

She saw Yan Junyi leaning against the wine cabinet and pouring a glass of red wine for her. He raised his head and poured it into his mouth. There was still a faint pain and melancholy on his face.

Xuebao walked over and hugged him, lying in his arms. There was a faint pain in her heart. Her voice was soft and pained, "Don't think about her anymore, can you not think about her anymore..." Yi Yuer, when she was torturing him, how could it not be torturing her?

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

Did I do my best? Was he really willing to let go of that relationship with Yi Yuer? Xuebao was very suspicious because he loved her so deeply!

Within the Lan family's mansion, the hall on the first floor was filled with a fiery scene. Old Master Lan stared at Lan Ning, who was standing at the side without making a sound, and shouted madly, "You bastard! Quickly tell me where did you take the Moon Night Picture!?"

Lan Ning did not say anything. He could not tell his father that the Moon Night Picture was given to Xuebao. There was no reason for him to take back what was given to him. Furthermore, this was the first time he had given Xuebao a gift. He would not do such a stupid thing!

"Are you going to say it or not?" Old Master Lan raised his palm, wanting to step forward and give him a tight slap. Lan Xin, who was beside him, rushed forward in a hurry and hugged Old Master Lan's arm. She urgently said, "Dad! Don't be so angry! Can't we talk properly?"

" I'll talk to him nicely. He has to be willing to talk too! " Old Master Lan stared at Lan Ning with blood-red eyes. Clearly, he had gone mad from anger. When he found out that the Moon Night Picture had disappeared, his heart turned cold!

Lan Xin turned to Lan Ning and pushed his arm, urging him, "Lan Ning, quickly go and find the painting. What are you still standing there for?!"

Lan Ning raised his head and looked at Old Master Lan boldly. "Dad, I have sold the painting. I can't find it back!"

"You animal!" With a slap, Old Master Lan's palm still hit his face. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He said with a trembling voice, "Beast! This is what your cousin wanted urgently!"

"Dad! Why must you give it to cousin Yu? I want that painting too! " Lan Ning covered his face, which was in pain, and shouted at Old Master Lan. Why did his cousin suddenly come out to snatch the painting from him?

"Lan Ning, can't you say less?" Lan Xin pushed him to a corner. She reproached him, "Cousin Yu promised to sell us the shares of the Lan family. He only wants that painting. The contract has already been signed!"

"Even if we sign the contract, we can still return the shares to him." Lan Ning said without showing any weakness.

Old Master Lan heard his words and was even angrier. He pointed at Old Master Lan's nose and shouted, "Shut up! You unfilial son, you are an evil son who can't do anything! I... Why didn't I shoot you into the wall?!"

"Dad, don't worry." Lan Xin was busy. She ran back to Old Master Lan and comforted him, "Dad, don't worry. I will send someone to get the painting back tomorrow. I will definitely help you get it back, okay? Don't be angry! "

As she spoke, she winked at Lan Ning, signaling him to go back to his room quickly. She could not make her father angry anymore!

Lan Ning did not return to his room. Instead, he waved his hand and strode towards the door. After a while, he drove his silvery-white car out like the wind and disappeared in an instant!

Old Master Lan stared in the direction where he left and snorted heavily. "If I can't find the painting, I will strangle that bastard!" It was not easy to take back the shares from Yu's hands, but he actually wanted to spit it out again!

"Alright, Dad, it's useless to be angry. Let's talk if you can't find it." Lan Xin continued to comfort him and finally calmed Old Master Lan down. However, her brows were tightly furrowed. Where could she find the Moon Night Picture?

Xuebao sat on the bed and looked at the Moon Night Picture on the wall in a daze. In order to protect the painting from being destroyed by anything, she put a thin layer of transparent plastic paper on the painting.

The doctor who came to check her body for a few days knocked on the door and was chased away by Xuebao before she could walk in. She was very clear whether she was pregnant or not. There was no need for other people to check at all!

Looking at Yueye in the painting, she suddenly thought of Yan Junyi and then thought of last night. Was that sad Autumn Moon of Han Palace really played by Yan Meiqi? Yan Meiqi did not have to worry about food and clothing. Why would she go to south yard to play the piano at two o'clock in the morning?

Biting her lips and thinking for a while, Xuebao got up and walked towards the third floor. After asking the maid which room Yan Meiqi was in, she directly went over. She knocked on the door and Yan Meiqi's voice came from inside, "Come in!"

Xuebao pushed the door and walked in. Yan Meiqi was sitting in a pile of antique noodles. She used a white cloth to carefully wipe her so-called treasure. When she saw Xuebao, she was stunned for a moment before she smiled and called out, "Sister-in-law, do you not need to go to class today?"

"My afternoon class." Xuebao said and looked at Yan Meiqi's bedroom. She found that the bedroom did not look like a girl's leap room at all. It looked very masculine, no matter if it was hung on the wall. On the table were all those strange items.

Mei Qi stood up from the pile of antiques and patted the clothes on her body. She laughed dryly and said, "Haha, it's a little messy. Don't take offense."

Xuebao shook her head and thought that she really cared about his brother. It was almost to the point where she only wanted to live for him! Thinking of the purpose of coming here, she smiled and said, "Mei Qi, your big brother was a little abnormal last night. You didn't get scared, right?"

Yan Meiqi shook her head indifferently. "It's alright. Big brother's temper is like this. I have long gotten used to it."

"What song was last night? It was very pleasant to listen to." Xuebao pretended not to understand and asked. Yan Meiqi suddenly looked at her and replied, "It's called Han Palace Autumn Moon. Because I couldn't sleep last night. So I played this song out of excitement. I didn't think that it would provoke big brother."

"Maybe you have stirred up his grief." Xuebao smiled helplessly.

Yan Meiqi looked at her in surprise and asked, "Sister-in-law, you know about Yi Yuer's matter?"

"Yes." Xuebao nodded her head and her eyes fell on the Pipa that Yan Junyi did not break last night. She stood up and walked over. She touched the body of the lute and said with a smile, "Mei Qi, can you teach me how to play 'Autumn Moon of Han Palace'? I really want to learn. "

Yan Meiqi was afraid and a trace of panic flashed across her eyes. She opened her mouth and said with a knot, "Uh... Sister-in-law, the Pipa must be learned from the basics. You must learn to a certain extent before you can play this song."

"I know. I have learned Pipa before, so I can learn it directly." Xuebao was still smiling and did not miss any trace of emotions on Yan Meiqi's face. What did the panic in her eyes represent?

"Haha... Alright, I will teach you when I have time. How about next weekend?" Yan Meiqi bit her tongue and agreed. She was so unwilling to agree and wished that she could escape Xuebao's sight immediately.

Fortunately, at this moment, Xuebao's phone rang. Yan Meiqi let out a sigh of relief and Xuebao was stunned for a moment before taking out her phone. She casually said a few words before hanging up. She turned around and said to Yan Meiqi, "Mei Qi, then we will agree on this. I have to go out in advance."

"En, okay!" Yan Meiqi nodded and watched her figure disappear at the door. She then let out a heavy sigh.
