The housekeeper, Gu Zhiqiu shook his head with a wry smile: "Let me tell you, the second wife is not as powerful as me! I can't even help you, let alone the second wife."

"Are you kidding me?" Ma Xiaoyao snorted softly, "The wife of a dignified soldier is not as powerful as a housekeeper like you?"

"I'm telling the truth." Gu Zhiqiu explained: "The Second Madam usually only manages the female relatives in the mansion, and has no right to intervene in other matters. If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate!"

"Are you serious?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned.

"It's absolutely true!" Gu Zhiqiu nodded: "You don't know something, Mr. Zongbing is a suspicious person and never trusts the people around him, so he firmly holds the power in his own hands. Everything is up to him to decide, and only some insignificant things will be handed over to me."

"This chief soldier...isn't he afraid of exhausting himself to death?" Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips.

"You underestimate Mr. Zongbing too much. He is extremely energetic and can handle many things properly." Gu Zhiqiu said.

"So...it's impossible for me to rely on you to leave the General Military Mansion?" Ma Xiaoyao asked in a bad tone.

"... At least for the time being, I can't do anything." Gu Zhiqiu said flatly: "But I will secretly plan for you. If there is a suitable opportunity, I will help you leave the General Military Mansion."

Ma Xiaoyao pondered for a moment: "Okay, I'll just wait... You said just now that you can feed me? Occasionally be lazy?"

"Yes." Gu Zhiqiu nodded: "It's impossible for the eldest lady and uncle to stare at you all day, as long as they are not around, I can help you secretly."

"Okay, that's the deal." Ma Xiaoyao reached out and touched his stomach: "I'm hungry now... To be exact, I've been hungry for several days..."

"You go to work first, and later, I will deliver the food to the woodshed where you live, and then you can find an excuse to go back to the woodshed to eat." Gu Zhiqiu said.

"Okay." Ma Xiaoyao nodded, picked up the broom and was about to sweep the floor.

"and many more!"

Gu Zhiqiu shouted.

"Is there anything else?" Ma Xiaoyao stopped in his tracks.

"How did you know there was an affair between me and the second lady?" Gu Zhiqiu asked.

"Well... the ancients said: There is no impenetrable wall in the world! If you want to be unknown, you have to do nothing! No matter how careful you are, you will show your flaws." Ma Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.

"Flaw? What flaw?" Gu Zhiqiu hurriedly asked.

"I can't tell you this. Anyway, you should be careful in the future. I'm going to work. By the way, get me some meat, preferably a roast chicken. It would be even better if I could get some wine." After throwing down a word, Ma Xiaoyao strode away with the broom on his shoulders.

Looking at the back of Ma Xiaoyao leaving, Gu Zhiqiu fell into deep thought... How did this guy discover his secret... Gu Zhiqiu carefully recalled the details of his tryst with the second wife, and finally found no loopholes... …

"Strange! How strange!"

"Is it true that the old saying: There is no impenetrable wall in the world?"

"It seems that my secrecy measures are still not in place."

"Being caught by this guy will definitely make life difficult in the future."

"Until you find out all the details about the other party, you must not act rashly... Hold him first, and then slowly find a way to deal with him."

"... This matter should be discussed with the second lady, so that she can also be mentally prepared."

……

After making up his mind, Gu Zhiqiu hurriedly left.

in a few minutes.

Gu Zhiqiu came to the second lady's residence.

"Why are you here?" Second Madam Chen Wanrou frowned: "Didn't I tell you that as long as your lord and Yuanyuan are in the mansion, we shouldn't meet alone..."

"Don't worry!" Gu Zhiqiu's expression was serious: "I came here as an excuse to discuss things with you... Even if others see it, they won't doubt it..." The second wife is in charge of the female family members in the mansion, Gu Zhiqiu He was in charge of the servants and guards in the mansion, and there was some overlap between the two, so it wasn't too abrupt for Gu Zhiqiu to come to discuss matters with the second lady.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Chen Wanrou asked.

"The matter between us...was discovered..." Gu Zhiqiu said something that shocked Chen Wanrou.

"What did you say!" Chen Wanrou's face changed drastically: "You...you're not joking, are you?"

"Do you think I look like I'm joking?" Gu Zhiqiu smiled wryly: "If it wasn't for this incident, I wouldn't have taken the risk to meet you."

"This...this...how is it possible...we are usually very careful...how could we be discovered..." Chen Wanrou was a little panicked: "Who discovered it?"

"Ma Xiaoyao." Gu Zhiqiu said a name.

"Ma Xiaoyao?" Chen Wanrou was stunned: "This name is so strange..."

"Ma Xiaoyao was brought into the mansion by the eldest lady..." Gu Zhiqiu briefly explained Ma Xiaoyao's background, and seeing that Chen Wanrou was a little panicked, Gu Zhiqiu comforted him: "Don't worry too much, things are not going to happen without you." As bad as imagined."

"Isn't it too bad?" Chen Wanrou said with a pale face, "If Han Mingguang finds out about our relationship... neither of us can live..."

"I've already secured that Ma Xiaoyao, and he promised not to leak the secret." Gu Zhiqiu said.

"Even if Ma Xiaoyao doesn't leak the secret now, what about in the future? Can you guarantee that he will never leak the secret for the rest of his life?" Chen Wanrou looked a little excited.

"...It's all my fault." Gu Zhiqiu sighed: "If I hadn't pursued you...you wouldn't have followed me..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Chen Wanrou shook her head: "I asked for all this...Han Mingguang neglected me...it made me feel lonely...Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now, let's discuss it quickly How to save yourself."

"The key point is that Ma Xiaoyao, as long as Ma Xiaoyao doesn't leak the secret, we will be fine." Gu Zhiqiu said.

"Then kill Ma Xiaoyao!" A murderous look flashed in Chen Wanrou's eyes: "As long as Ma Xiaoyao is dead, we don't have to worry about him leaking the secret!"

Gu Zhiqiu shook his head: "I also want to kill Ma Xiaoyao... But I'm worried that Ma Xiaoyao will leave behind... That's why I dare not act rashly."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, so tell me what to do." Chen Wanrou was really impatient, at this moment she regretted a little, regretting having an affair with Gu Zhiqiu... Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world...

Gu Zhiqiu pondered for a moment: "The current situation...we can only take one step at a time. I will comfort Ma Xiaoyao and not let him talk nonsense... When the time is right, I will kill him. Get rid of the horse and run away to avoid future troubles." Speaking of this, Gu Zhiqiu glanced at the pale Chen Wanrou: "We won't meet each other during this time..."

Chen Wanrou closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "My mind is in a mess right now, and I can't come up with any ideas... Besides, that Ma Xiaoyao is not in my charge... In a word, this matter is about the lives and deaths of both of us. , you must appease Ma Xiaoyao! You must not let him talk nonsense!"

Gu Zhiqiu nodded: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

After discussing a few more words, Gu Zhiqiu got up and left. He didn't dare to stay here for too long for fear of being suspected.

After sending Gu Zhiqiu away, Chen Wanrou began to feel a little confused... The most worrying thing still happened!The road ahead must be full of thrills!Alas... I regret it!I regret it!

……

Taking advantage of people not paying attention, Ma Xiaoyao sneaked back to the firewood room. As soon as he entered the firewood room, Ma Xiaoyao saw a large plate on the ground. There were five steamed buns on the plate, three meat dishes, and one Roast chicken and a jug of wine.

"This big butler is quite reliable!" Ma Xiaoyao threw away the broom, walked over quickly, grabbed the roast chicken and began to gnaw fiercely. After eating a few mouthfuls of chicken, Ma Xiaoyao took a few more mouthfuls from the jug , the spicy wine flowed into the body along the throat, the hot feeling was really refreshing.

In this world, what one pursues is nothing more than basic necessities of life, eating meat and drinking heavily, and this is the greatest joy in life.

Five steamed buns, two kinds of meat dishes, one roast chicken and a pot of fine wine all entered Ma Xiaoyao's stomach within a short while.

"Uh……"

Ma Xiaoyao hiccupped, he reached out and touched his round belly, his face showed satisfaction: "It feels good to eat and drink enough! It seems that I have gone the right way to threaten the big housekeeper." At this time Ma Xiaoyao felt a little grateful to the person who threw the ball of paper. If that person hadn't informed him, he wouldn't have been able to catch the big butler, and the big butler couldn't have brought him so many delicious meals.

Ma Xiaoyao secretly made up his mind that if there is a chance to find the person who threw the paper ball in the future, Ma Xiaoyao must thank him deeply.

However, Ma Xiaoyao was still a little worried. He kept guessing... The reason why the person who threw the paper ball was to inform him was nothing more than to use his mouth to expose the matter, but Ma Xiaoyao did not do this, but used this Threatening the big housekeeper... If the person who threw the paper ball found out... I would probably feel dissatisfied, and maybe create some trouble by then?

Ma Xiaoyao finally had a chance to eat and drink enough. He didn't want another accident to happen. Unfortunately, he didn't know who the person who threw the paper ball was, so he couldn't stop him. He could only observe secretly and slowly search for the mysterious person.

After drinking and eating, Ma Xiaoyao left the firewood house with the broom on his shoulders, and then continued to clean the yard. While cleaning the yard, Ma Xiaoyao found out that there were a lot fewer guards monitoring him, and the few remaining guards also They all stayed far away and ignored Ma Xiaoyao, even if Ma Xiaoyao was lazy, those guards pretended not to see him.

Seeing this scene, Ma Xiaoyao was immediately happy, no need to ask, it must be the credit of the big housekeeper.
