Chapter 245 Inside the Mansion
The two were getting excited when Jia Wei suddenly pulled out a piece of letter and stuffed it into Zhou Zhiruo's mouth.

"Open it and take a look."

Jia Wei said, suddenly.

The black waterfall instantly dispersed, also stirring up a wave of pigs.

Zhou Zhiruo had long straight black hair, which originally just reached her waist, but with her body bent, the ends of her hair fell down onto her raised buttocks.

Zhou Zhiruo bit her lip. She opened the letter and almost tore it because her hands were shaking.

There were only two simple lines of words written on the black paper, but Zhou Zhiruo frowned after reading them.

[The Emei sect has passed Tianshui and is expected to arrive near Chencang on the ninth day of the first lunar month.]

Zhou Zhiruo was a little dazed as she looked at the two lines of words. She clenched her fingers so tightly that her nails pierced the letter paper.

Without giving it much thought, she began to worry about the people from the Emei Sect. Her body tensed up and she felt extremely anxious.

"hiss!"

The sudden clamp caught Jia Wei off guard.

But he also knew why...

It was purely a coincidence that I met the Huashan Sect members near the main camp tonight.

However, after the Jinyiwei entered Guanzhong, they pursued the traces of the Emei Sect all the way.

Although Zhou Zhiruo was expelled from the Emei Sect by Master Miejue, it was actually a self-torture and beauty trap.

And now that Jia Wei first destroyed Quanzhen and then annihilated the Ming Cult, the powerful military force he demonstrated was so powerful that even if Zhou Zhiruo had ten times the courage, she would not dare to betray him.

Zhou Zhiruo was a smart person. She knew that the Jinyiwei was more powerful than any other martial arts sect. Even if she stole the sword, the Emei sect would not be able to protect her. By then, there would be no place for her in the world.

Moreover, Jia Wei was not deceived by her beauty, and he was still on guard against her in secret...

Jia Wei and Zhou Zhiruo both knew all of this tacitly. The only unlucky one was Nun Miejue, who was beaten by a handsome guy and never came back.

What Zhou Zhiruo was worried about was not necessarily the people of Emei, but more that she didn't know how to face Master Miejue.

She turned into the shape of Jia Wei, which was nothing and was within Master Miejue's expectations.

It's just that she was not strong-willed and did not complete the mission of Master Miejue. In fact, she became Jia Wei's person...

Although Jia Wei protected her and Master Miejue couldn't do anything to her, she was safe.

Nun Miejue cannot kill her, but she can destroy her heart.

In this era, it is hard to disobey the master's orders, not to mention that Master Miejue raised her since she was a child, and they have a deep friendship.

"Clap!"

But the trouble was hers and had nothing to do with Jia Wei.

As for Jia Wei, he was having fun.

"Have you thought it through?" he asked.

Zhou Zhiruo had a lot of thoughts in her mind. She had expected this a long time ago, but had never figured out how to deal with it.

So at this moment, she could only remain silent.

"Zhiruo, don't forget your identity! Emei Sect has already expelled you from the sect! The heroes on Yan Island can all see clearly that you are the master's now, holding the sword, slave, do you understand?!"

Jia Wei's words were discontinuous, but there was a certain rhythm and charm in them.

Zhou Zhiruo gritted her teeth, closed her eyes for a long time, and said slowly: "I will not betray the Marquis..."

"Then what do you want to do? To die to prove your integrity?" Jia Wei pinched her delicate neck.

"Your life is mine too. I'm not tired of you yet. I won't let you die."

Zhou Zhiruo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jia Wei's action.

There was no wind in the tent, but the candlelight in front of the table was swaying, casting a shaky shadow.

The rain outside was pouring down non-stop, like an explosion, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. "Boom!"

Suddenly there was a loud thunder.

Everything is back to calm...

……

Shenjing City, Rongguo Mansion.

The lights in Rongqing Hall were bright, and laughter and joyful chatter could be heard from time to time, mixed with the occasional sound of dominoes colliding.

Sister Feng, Li Wan and others were coaxing Lady Jia to play with the dominoes.

On the side were Amber and several other maids from Lady Jia's room serving her. Because Yuanyang went to the East Palace, Amber became the head maid in Lady Jia's room.

Although it was already 12 o'clock in the afternoon, thanks to Sister Feng's efforts, Lady Jia had won the whole night and was in great spirits, so she had not yet left the stage.

Of course, it was also because there was an extreme lack of entertainment activities in those days, and ordinary families were thrifty with lamp oil, so after blowing out the lamps, they would go to bed and have children.

Although the homes of wealthy families were better, they were nothing more than brothels where the masters lived, the wives watched operas and played cards, and the servants drank and gambled, and they all went about their business in peace and without interfering with each other.

A group of people were at the card table in the main hall, coaxing Lady Jia alone. The atmosphere couldn't possibly be bad. Moreover, Sister Feng was controlling the situation by showing off her cute manners, entertaining her parents with colorful clothes, and making the old lady laugh non-stop.

In a luxurious glass screen-partitioned room on the east side, the five sisters Daiyu, Yuanchun, Yingchun, Tanchun and Baoyu were sitting around a round table, drinking tea and writing poems together.

Zijuan, Baoqin and other older maids were even busier, serving tea, peeling fruit, grinding ink and spreading paper without stopping for a moment.

"Sister Lin, when you come back from the southern province, don't forget us and bring back some fun things." Tanchun smiled, her eyes curved into lovely crescents.

Daiyu gently put down the tea bowl and pushed her: "How can I have the leisure to do those things? You have found the wrong person. You should go and talk to the Marquis's wife in the east."

Ding Baiying had received Jia Wei's letter a long time ago. Baochai had her people pack up and arrange things in the mansion, and she chose a good date to set off south. It was tomorrow.

Daiyu returned to Yangzhou to take care of her sick father, which was a filial duty. Although Grandmother Jia was reluctant to let her granddaughter go on a long journey, and Baoyu also made a fuss, they had no reason to keep Daiyu.

When this matter was mentioned, the smile on Baoyu's face froze. He stared blankly for a long time and said slowly: "Sister Lin, you left, when will you come back?"

If it were in the past, when the cousins ​​had a good relationship, Daiyu would definitely tease him, but since she came back from the south last year, their relationship has not been very good.

Especially in recent days, Baoyu made a fuss because she was going south, and their relationship became even more strained.

So Daiyu answered Baoyu seriously: "I don't know when I will be back. When I left last time, my father was still ill. Although he wrote to me at the end of the year saying that he was much better, the salt administration has been rectified in full swing recently. I am really worried about his health..."

Daiyu's slightly frowned brows make her look pitiful.

"If Daddy is fine, then I will wait for Second Brother's arrangement. I will probably come back with Second Brother. But if Daddy's health is bad... then I will have to stay no matter what."

When Baoyu heard Daiyu calling him "Second Brother" affectionately without calling him once, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his chest. His eyes became blurred and he was dazed for a while. He only heard the second half of Daiyu's words.

"Sister Lin is not coming back?" Baoyu thought to himself, staying where he was.

"Oh, I really envy Sister Bao..." Tanchun continued.

A woman like her, although she lived a wealthy life, was confined to this small world in the courtyard all her life. Even going out to worship Buddha was a luxury, and she dared not even think about traveling south for fun!
"Do you envy her? Then just find a great marquis and marry him!" Daiyu also laughed.

Baoyu is still there...

Xiren was so absorbed in him that she naturally noticed his abnormality. She leaned over and called softly, "Baoyu, Baoyu?"

Baoyu's mind was empty, and he could only think: "Sister Lin is not coming back, she is with Brother Wei..."

Yuanchun also noticed something was wrong, "Baoyu..."

"Sister Lin is not coming back."

"Sister Lin went with Brother Er..."

Baoyu suddenly stood up and bumped into Xiren with his shoulder, knocking her to the ground.

Baoyu suddenly became crazy!
His cheeks were blue and red. He snatched the spiritual jade from his neck and threw it away.

"What spiritual jade? I don't want this thing!"
