Chapter 67 Ning Mansion!

Late at night, Yizhuang, north of the city.

In the quiet room at the back of the small courtyard, Deng Yang sat cross-legged on the futon, closing his eyes to rest.

After calming down for an afternoon, he was not willing to leave Beifeng County like this. Even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't run away in a hurry without being so unclear. At least he had to find out who the owner of those eyes was. .

And after calming down and reviewing the two experiences, Deng Yang felt that the owner of those eyes may not have any ill intentions towards him.

After all, the two times that made me alert were all because I had the intention to spy with my soul, but the owner of those eyes did not do anything to me. What happened this morning could only be regarded as a small warning at best.

Although these are just his own guesses, Deng Yang still decided to take a risk tonight and go to Ning Mansion to find out what happened. If it was really impossible, then he might as well leave as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Deng Yang thought. Deep in the sea of ​​consciousness, the five-headed dharma image slowly emerged. Looking at the drop of lamp oil glowing with nine colors on the lamp, he felt a sense of stability in his heart for no reason.

Even if it really angers the owner of those eyes, with the existence of this drop of lamp oil, at least saving his life shouldn't be a problem.

After all, he was considered an ancestor of a side sect, but he was so frightened by a look that he ran away in a hurry. If he told this, wouldn't he become a laughing stock?

Thinking of this, an idea came to Deng Yang's mind. From the dead tree hole in the front yard of Yizhuang, a small and exquisite black crow suddenly flew out, braved the biting cold wind, and instantly escaped into the night.

At the same time, in the backyard of Ning Mansion, in the warm hall.

A beautiful young woman wearing a wide robe, with an intellectual and elegant temperament was leaning on the soft couch, looking through the account book in her hand lazily.

In the corner of the living room, a little girl with bright eyes and white teeth was stretching out her green-white hands to test the temperature of the water in the copper basin on the lotus stand. From time to time, her eyes would glance at the young woman with a quiet face on the soft couch, with a trace of emotion in her expression. He looked sad, as if he was about to speak but hesitated.

"Madam, I will serve you to cleanse yourself."

After mixing the warm water, the girl carried the copper basin, walked to the soft couch, pursed her lips and whispered softly.

"You are a little girl. You are so young. How can you think so much? If you have anything, just tell me."

Slowly putting down the account book in her hand, she turned her gaze to the little girl in front of her. There was an ethereal wisdom in the young woman's eyes, as if she could see through people's hearts. She glanced at the little girl, with a hint of hidden doting in her eyes.

"lady."

"You asked the housekeeper to send all the servants in the family to Shangyang County, why don't you follow and leave?"

"Don't think that I don't know that the Zhou family and the Wu family have bad intentions. In recent years, they have used various reasons to invade our Ning family's business. If it weren't for your support, our Ning family would have been broken up long ago."

"Now they want to start a war in Beifeng County. If Madam, you don't want to participate, just sell off the assets in this county and move to Shangyang County. Why do you have to stay here?"

"You will also go to Shangyang County with your family's caravan tomorrow."

Facing the little maid's worries, the young woman looked calm, but she didn't explain much.

In fact, she doesn't want to avoid these disputes, but can she really avoid them sometimes?

Since her father died young, she followed the marriage contract that her father had made for her since she was a child, and married into Beifeng County with her huge family fortune. Unfortunately, she became a widow early within two years.

Fortunately, she had been exposed to it since childhood and was smart and capable. With a group of old servants left by her father, she managed to support the Ning family's business.But she knows very well that in this chaotic world, if there is not enough strength to support it, this huge family fortune is just a piece of fat in the eyes of others.

However, she was born with an elegant and sober temperament and a gifted eye. She traveled with her father since she was a child. She has seen through the human nature and dislikes human interaction.

In recent years, she has also tried to streamline her family's property as much as possible in order to be able to hide her wealth and live in peace.

Although it is one of the three major families along with the Zhou and Wu families, it is just for self-protection, dividing some profits every year and temporarily stabilizing the two families.

But she knew very well that neither the Zhou family nor the Wu family had ever given up the idea of ​​swallowing her fat. It was just that she had always lived in a simple life, and she had the escort team left by her father when he was a businessman. Now, the two jackals were afraid.

But ever since Huang Zhao and others came to Beifeng County to compete for control of the county seat, she knew that a conflict was inevitable.

Especially since the commotion in Chengnan that night, she had a premonition that a storm was coming.

Therefore, during this period of time, she had already secretly sent her family's servants to Shangyang County in batches, just to avoid unreasonable disaster for them.

As for herself, she had to stay and take charge now. After all, the Zhou and Wu families had been staring at her for a day or two. How could they just watch her fat body escape.

She will definitely take advantage of the turmoil in the county to annex the Ning family in one fell swoop, but she has already made plans to cut off her tail and survive. The property and property in the county will be lost if they are lost. There is nothing to regret.

It would be a good time to take advantage of this turmoil to leave this border land of disputes.

But she was not prepared to tell anyone about the plans in her mind. After all, if the news leaked out, it would not be that easy for her to escape.

It's not that she can't trust the little girl in front of her, but that this little girl has been raised by her since she was a child. She has a romantic and innocent nature, can't hide her thoughts, and can easily be probed for clues.

"I won't leave."

"If you want to leave, I also want to go with Madam."

Seeing that her wife wanted her to go to Shangyang County with the caravan tomorrow, the little maid's eyes suddenly widened, and she raised objections for the first time in her life.

She grew up with her wife. Although they were called master and servant, they were actually like sisters. Although she was naive and romantic, she was not stupid either. The recent movements of several families in Beifeng County were noticed by her. In his eyes, how could he not know what his wife's arrangement meant.

"obedient!"

Faced with the little maid who suddenly became a little naughty, the young woman frowned rarely.

Although she knew that the little girl was worried about herself, the young woman understood better that in this situation, it was not the time for her to act petty.

At this time, in the window gap on the side of the warm hall near the soft couch, a crow the size of a baby's fist was hidden in the gap, staring directly at the master and servant not far away in the room.

At such a close distance, he could hear the conversation between the master and the servant without missing a beat.

Looking through Yu Gu's field of vision at the two masters and servants in front of him, Deng Yang's eyes looked extremely solemn, and deep in his eyes, there was a trace of greed that was almost solidified.
