The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 136: Provoke people

Zhiruo dragged Xiyan out, closed the door, and frowned at the courtyard door.

"I always feel uneasy. Where is Dawn?"

"She should rest at the corner gate next to the courtyard gate. She has been guarding there for the past few days. You want me to wake her up? Maybe she is not asleep." Xi Yan also felt a little nervous. After all, there was a lot of noise in the front yard. .

If a thief is really involved, what if he touches the eldest girl's yard?
"Lvzhu and Hongzhu have been following Dongqing outside for the past few days. We will have a fight at dawn." Zhiruo stamped her feet anxiously, "No, from now on we have to practice martial arts with Dawn. At least we can dance with a dagger or something."

Xi Yan hesitated for a moment with a pale face, but still nodded.

Last time Luzhu caught her and taught her how to use a dagger, she almost chopped off her own ears.

"Zhiruo, Xiyan, what's going on outside?" Nanny Ling came over in a hurry, tying her clothes and taking them with her, followed by a little maid who was waiting for her.

She was asleep but was woken up by a noise, so she quickly got dressed and came out to take a look.

"Mommy, I was just going to find you." Zhiruo seemed to have seen the backbone, grabbed her arm, and told Xiyan what she heard.

Aunt Ling said with a serious face: "Whether it's true or not, we have to be prepared. Xiyan is going to call Mingxiao, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Hey." Xiyan picked up her skirt and ran away.

"Go and call Shuyu. She is preparing tomorrow's breakfast for the eldest girl in the small kitchen." Grandma Ling ordered the little maid.

"Zhiruo, just guard the girl and don't leave the back room. If anything happens, just scream."

"Yeah." Zhiruo nodded vigorously, turned his head and looked around, saw an arm-long stick lying under the peach tree, and ran to grab it in his hand.

"Then I went inside."

"Go. I'm outside." Nanny Ling looked around, beckoned for a few maids, divided them into shifts, and asked them to guard the corners.

Lu Wan, who had been tired for several days, had already fallen asleep, unaware that the people around her were extremely nervous.

Aunt Ling simply moved a chair and placed it at the door of Lu Wan's main room. She held a stick in her hand and sat on the chair.

It was extremely cold tonight, and the maid standing guard outside was shivering from the cold.

Dawn held her sword and paced back and forth behind the courtyard gate, looking around vigilantly.

There is an old peach tree in the small courtyard close to the main house. The leafless trunk extends outside the courtyard.

Suddenly, two black figures leaped onto the branches like falcons and landed quietly in the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

Nanny Ling, who was taking a nap, suddenly had a sudden thought. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was stabbed in the neck. As soon as her eyes closed, she slumped down on the chair.

The man in black knocked three times at the door.

Zhiruo was sleeping on the outside of the bed. He heard a knock on the door while half asleep. He got up in a daze, walked to the door with the candlestick in his hand, and yawned as he opened the door.

A pair of cold eyes flickered with candlelight, which was particularly strange.

Zhiruo's face turned pale, and his yawn was so frightened that he didn't close his mouth for a long time.

The visitor came over with a handsome and strong face: "Where is your eldest girl?"

Zhiruo violently trembled, and just as he screamed miserably, his mouth was covered.

Cang Lang frowned and said impatiently: "I'll kill you if you dare!"

Zhiruo rolled his eyes in fright and slid softly to the ground.

Cang Lang hugged her in shock. The soft, boneless body wrapped in her arms felt warm and fragrant. She froze for a moment, neither hugging nor letting go.

She didn't catch him immediately, slid along his body to the ground, and sat down on the ground, leaning right on his thigh, with her snow-white face just falling on his lower abdomen...

Cang Lang: "...!"

Why are you so timid?

After a scare, he turned into a puddle of meat?
Cang Lang looked down at the soft flesh on his legs. His whole body was stiff and he didn't dare to move.

Qing Ming, who was following behind, was stunned, and quickly stepped forward and whispered: "She is Miss Lu's first-class maid, and you are so embarrassed on the ground like this?"

"I didn't throw it away. Get him away quickly." Cang Lang frowned.

"She's holding your leg, and it's not mine. What should I do?" Qing Ming rolled his eyes.

"She didn't hug her!" Cang Lang gritted his teeth.

"I'm going to find Ming Xiao." Qing Ming ignored him and turned around to go to the courtyard gate. He knew Ming Xiao had been guarding the courtyard gate.

It crawled into the night like a cat and made a cooing sound, which was the code for him and the dawn.

After a while, Mingxiao ran out and asked in surprise when he saw him: "Why are you here?"

Qing Ming stepped forward and grabbed her: "Go and wake up the eldest girl, and we will help her transport her things. Zhiruo fainted from fright."

"Ah? Who scared her to faint?" Mingxiao asked while walking quickly.

"Who else? There are knots in the big tree." Qing Ming looked at the clasped hands proudly, but she didn't shake them away!
Dawn quickly walked to the door, and saw the motionless black figure at the door of the main room, and the person sitting on the ground leaning on his lap, and stopped in his tracks.

"What is this for?"

"I didn't do anything, I just... Zhiruo was too timid, Cangtou showed up and scared her." Qing Ming said.

Mingxia frowned, rushed over, pushed Canglang away, caught Zhiruo, and patted her cheek.

"Wake up. Zhiruo, wake up."

Zhiruo was woken up by the slap and shouted in a daze: "Ah, ah ah, there is a thief... there is a thief at dawn!"

"I'm not a thief, please keep your voice down." Dawn quickly covered her mouth.

Qing Ming and Cang Lang sneaked in in the dead of night, and they definitely didn't want anyone to know.

Zhiruo opened his eyes wide and saw a dark leg, looking up...

"what……"

He rolled his eyes and fainted again.

dawn:"……"

"What are you doing?" Lu Wan appeared at the door wrapped in a big cloak, and was startled when she saw Zhiruo sitting on the ground, leaning against Mingxiao.

"What's going on? The ground is so cold. Take her in quickly."

Hearing this, Cang Lang bent down to hug someone, but Qing Ming quickly grabbed him and said, "Please give me a hug, Miss Mingxiao."

Cang Lang quickly retracted his outstretched hand.

I almost forgot, she is an unmarried woman.

"What's wrong with you guys coming in in the middle of the night?" Lu Wan looked surprised. She suddenly thought about something, pushed Cang Lang away and saw Nanny Ling slumped on the chair.

"Mammy! Mammy, what's wrong with you?" Lu Wan hurried up to check.

Cang Lang: "If she wants to scream, I'll make her faint."

Lu Wan was speechless: "Are you robbers? Why did you knock my people out one by one?"

Qing Ming rushed to say: "Miss Lu, our master asked us to help you transport your things."

"Ah? Right, now?" Lu Wan reacted.

"Yeah, it's easier to move in the dead of night."

"Where to move?"

"Prince Xie's private residence."

"He still has a private residence?" Lu Wan was surprised.

"Well... Mr. Yan lives here now, so it's very safe." Qing Ming made nonsense.

Lu Wan was indeed relieved, "Okay, I have to wake up Zhiruo and Aunt Ling, they are in charge of the accounts."

When Nanny Ling woke up, she was calm. When Zhiruo woke up and understood, her almond-shaped eyes widened and she pointed at Canglang and complained.

"He said he was going to kill me!"

Everyone looked at Cang Lang.

Cang Lang: "...I'm scaring you because I'm afraid you'll provoke other people."

"Then you don't have to kill me to scare me!" Zhiruo's tears fell from her eyes. She was so frightened that her hands and feet were still covered in ice.

Cang Lang had no choice but to cup his hands: "I'm sorry."

Zhiruo stared at a pair of tearful eyes, bit her pink lips, and stopped talking.

Lu Wan patted her: "It's getting late, take them to the warehouse quickly, make sure everything is clear, and have them sign."

Zhiruo wiped her tears and said, "Well, don't worry, girl, I will never let the thieves have the slightest chance to take advantage of me!"

Yes, Canglang offended people severely.

Lu Wan looked at Cang Lang helplessly: "Thank you for your hard work."

Cang Lang: "By the way, eldest lady, we just happened to catch two people, one big and one small. Do you want to go and meet them?"

"Who?"

"The younger one is Yu Xiuyan, and the older one is Meng Ruyi's childhood sweetheart."

Lu Wan's eyes widened.
