Chapter 237 The Lady's Plan

The little ladies rolled their eyes, thinking that their final ending would be the same as the two little ladies who left them, either to die of humiliation, or to suffer in the unbearable and humiliating, left and right in the capital. .But he didn't want to be able to get rid of this nightmare so soon, to return to his hometown and his own home so soon.

Dan Xin led the little ladies into the house.

But there was a little lady still standing beside Huang Shuaiyin, not moving, she just lowered her head, looked at the toe of her shoe, her hands were tightly clasped, she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Why don't you go?" Huang Shuaiyin lowered his head and asked.

The little lady didn't look up and didn't speak.

Shen Xinniang's eyes fell on the little lady, and she asked softly, "You don't want to go home?"

The little lady trembled when she heard the words, and knelt down again, "Please don't let me go, lady, I don't have a home."

Her voice trembled a little, but her face was clean and she did not cry.

"No home? Are you an orphan?" Huang Shuaiyin asked from the side.

The little lady nodded and shook her head again, "I vaguely remember that I was abducted by kidnappers when I was three or four years old, and have been sold to several families since then. But I always wanted to go back to my own home. An old couple with no children bought me and treated me well, but I was not reconciled and ran away. I was young when I was abducted, and I couldn’t remember where my home was. On the way home, they were picked up again."

When Huang Shuaiyin heard the words, there was a look of compassion on his face.

The little lady let out a long sigh, and said: "Who knows that the person who picked me up is also a kidnapper, sold me to a rich family to be a maid, then coaxed me out, took me away from that place, and sold me after a while. Some days later, he tricked me out again, only defrauding others of their money. Later, he sold me to that Taoist priest. Knowing that Taoist Zhang is not easy to mess with, he ran away secretly. I have long been homeless."

Huang Shuaiyin sighed when he heard the words.

Shen Xinniang looked down at the little lady kneeling on the ground, "Then what do you plan to do in the future?"

The little lady lowered her head, looking at the mossy bluestone ground below, and said nothing.

"What do you think?" Huang Shuaiyin urged from the side.

The little lady turned her face sideways, glanced at Huang Shuaiyin, her face blushed, and she said in a very soft voice: "I, I am willing to follow the Zodiac Master and serve the Zodiac Master."

Shen Xinniang nodded when she heard the words, and looked up at Huang Shuaiyin.

Huang Shuaiyin froze when he heard the words, and was completely stunned, "Follow, follow me? I, I, I am a practitioner. You, why are you following me?"

"I, I can take care of Taoist Priest Zodiac's daily life," the little lady's voice was a little anxious, as if she was afraid that he would refuse, "If I can cook for the Taoist Priest, even if the Taoist Priest gets injured in the future, I can still serve the Taoist Priest." bandage the wound!"

she said hastily.

Huang Shuaiyin remembered that he couldn't hold his breath, sneaked into Qi Wang's mansion at night and was injured, it was the medicine that this little lady sprinkled on him and wrapped up the wound.

"The Daoist Huang should not refuse to others." Shen Xinniang looked at him with a half-smile.

Huang Shuaiyin was embarrassed.

The little lady even turned around and knelt down towards Huang Shuaiyin. He was so shocked that he didn't know what to do for a while, and he couldn't say anything when he refused.

Dan Xin just came out of the house, and after hearing the last few words, he said with a smile: "I don't know why there is one person missing. It turns out that the chief ecliptic has captured his heart! Since he stole his heart, why not keep his heart?" People?"

Dan Xin's words made Huang Shuaiyin's face even more embarrassed, and the little lady kowtowed her head, "In the future, I will be Huang Daochang's maidservant, and the kidnapper will name me Liu Chuyue, and Chu Yue will serve Huang Daochang's side in the future and die not leave."

"This, this..." Huang Shuaiyin hadn't gotten used to it yet.

Shen Xinniang has already turned around and walked to the carriage, "Is everything here arranged?"

"Don't worry, lady, everything has been arranged. Before the city gate is locked tonight, 12 carriages will definitely be able to leave the city." Dan Xin replied.

12 There are two carriages, only seven young ladies want to go home, and the rest of the carriages are naturally the guise of the old cloth.

Shen Xinniang stepped on the horse stool and got into the carriage, "Okay, let's go back, I think there should be news from Jinxiang."

Upon hearing this, Dan Xin showed some surprise on his face, "There is news so soon?"

Before Shen Xiniang could answer, Huang Shuaiyin caught up with him in two steps, reached out and pinched the corner of Dan Xin's clothes, "Lady, sister Dan Xin, then, what about me?"

Dan Xin frowned and looked at his hand, "Let go!"

Huang Shuaiyin hastily let go of his hands, and apologized, "My lady, what should I do next?"

"What do you want to do? You can't find your way home, or you can't support yourself? You have to make arrangements for your future?" Dan Xin sneered.

Huang Shuaiyin opened his mouth, why?Leave him alone?That's it?
"I... can I stay and help the lady?"

Shen Xiniang's voice came faintly from the carriage, "Go and find your master, and admit your mistakes, he is not someone who will not forgive you."

Huang Shuaiyin slapped his forehead when he heard the words, "Exactly!"

Dan Xin got into the carriage, and the carriage drove away slowly.

The little lady named Liu Chuyue followed behind Huang Shuaiyin step by step. Huang Shuaiyin frowned helplessly, and couldn't push her away. Let her go. He was afraid that she would seek death and life, so he took her and quietly left Zhuangzi to Xuanyu Temple in the south of the city. go.

Shen Xinniang returned to the palace, but Jin Xiang hadn't returned yet.

Jin Xiang was sent to meet those people who were watching Uncle Yu's house, and when news came, it was delivered to Shen Xinniang as soon as possible.She didn't come back, it means that the matter in Yu Tai's mansion has not yet figured out.

Zhang Mingzhi hurried back from Baiguo Bridge, and when he entered the mansion, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the mansion.

When he was about to go out in the morning, everything was still normal. The people in the family said the most frequently in recent days, "Uncle Guo is young again".The whispers heard at the door still revolved around the word "young", but the rest could not be heard clearly.

When Zhang Mingzhi came back, the two servants who were looking for him did not come back, and no one in the house greeted him.Unknown, he first found the housekeeper.

"Housekeeper, what happened to the house?" Zhang Mingzhi asked cautiously.

The butler glanced at him, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, curled the corners of his mouth, and said with a half-smile, "I'm looking for Daoist Zhang!"

Really let people look for him?This atmosphere doesn't seem to be a good thing, does it? "Why are you looking for me?" Zhang Ming felt uneasy.

"Lu Bei and the others were let go last night!" the housekeeper whispered.

"Ah?! Is this okay? Why didn't you hear about it when you got up early in the morning?" Zhang Mingzhi asked sharply.

The housekeeper glanced at him again, "The people who looked at them were all knocked out and no one noticed. It was only when they delivered the food in the morning that they found out. Daoist Zhang was not at the house so early in the morning. Where did he go?"

Zhang Mingzhi frowned, why did the butler speak in a strange tone?The look in his eyes is also weird?You don't think he let people go, do you?

"I'm going to look for my junior brother! Someone just found him from Baiguo Bridge!"

The butler nodded and didn't say much.

"Where's Uncle Guo?" Zhang Mingzhi asked.

Hearing this, the housekeeper raised his eyes to look at him even more strangely.

Ever since he dedicated the Da Huan Dan to Uncle Guo, and since Uncle Guo became younger, there was no one in the family who did not please him, even though Uncle Guo only rewarded his good junior, how could people in the family not know, All his juniors listened to him.

The housekeeper usually flattered him a lot, what happened today?
"Butler, is there anything else?" Zhang Mingzhi took a step closer to the butler and asked in a low voice.

The housekeeper nodded slightly, "Since you are back, come with me!"

Zhang Mingzhi became more and more nervous. For some reason, he remembered the time when the three of Lu Bei were plotted against by Uncle Yu.He faintly felt that thinking of these omens was not good, and his heart was pounding uneasy.

He raised his hand to cover his stomach and said: "Housekeeper...Pindao suddenly feels pain in his stomach, wait until I enter the clean room before following you! It would be disrespectful to come out hastily after going to see Uncle Guo."

"Will you bear with it?" the housekeeper tugged at his sleeve and said, "Listen to Uncle Guo's orders?"

"Other things can be tolerated, how can this kind of thing be tolerated?" After Zhang Mingzhi finished speaking, he waved off the butler's sleeves and walked out of the yard.

The butler stared at his back, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said loudly: "Take him—"

Zhang Mingzhi was startled when he heard the words, he raised his breath, and casually threw out the mahogany sword, and swung it at the guards who jumped out from all directions.

"What is this for? Both of them are people who work for the uncle of the country!" Zhang Mingzhi asked.

"Don't talk so much, just take him down, if Uncle Guo blames him, I will stand up for it!" The housekeeper ordered loudly.

So, it wasn't Uncle Guo who ordered him to be arrested, but the housekeeper?While Zhang Mingzhi was dealing with the guards surrounding him, his mind was spinning rapidly. What happened that made the housekeeper dare to order him to be arrested in private?

Could it be that the butler's hand has already reached Uncle Guo's side, controlling all of Uncle Guo's guards?He quickly rejected this idea. Uncle Guo is a person with a strong desire for control, and he can't tolerate people around him stretching their hands too far. Have you been faithful and obedient?

From this point of view, there must be something wrong with Uncle Guo, and the situation is not good, so the housekeeper dared to issue orders on his behalf.

"Housekeeper, you are so delayed, why don't you be frank and clear, what happened, everyone can find a way to solve it, you are targeting me, don't you want to eliminate dissidents, do you want to be the only one beside Uncle Guo?" Zhang Ming said Circling with the guards, he asked loudly.

The butler snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm you? Lu Bei and the others fled, but someone discovered that the young man who was sweeping in Lu Bei's courtyard disappeared a few days ago! Although there is no evidence, someone saw you once I met that boy alone! Daoist Wei also testified that the words that Lu Bei stole the elixir of the uncle of the country came from your mouth!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingzhi's back stiffened, and cold sweat broke out.Daoist Wei betrayed him!

"Doing things like eliminating dissidents is something Daoist Zhang is very familiar with!" The housekeeper said coldly, "You are a Taoist priest next to Uncle Guo, and I am the housekeeper in the house. Why should I exclude you? Now your intentions towards Uncle Guo are not pure. , Take you down, you have nothing to say!"

Zhang Mingzhi saw that the contradictions were irreconcilable, and he hadn't figured out what happened in the house. If he continued to be entangled like this, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Thinking of this, he stopped playing around, and made a fierce move, wounding several guards, and escaped.

"Don't let him escape!" the butler shouted.
