She sized up Su Bai, with amazement in her eyes, and stared at him for a long time...

"These two are actually..." The maid Mudan quickly introduced the previous incident.

"That's really a disaster, Miss Cen, I'm sorry." The woman walked a few steps, walking like a weak willow, "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen while I was lying in bed... What do you want?" Help, I will try my best, although I can't actually do anything here, I can only trouble Peony."

"Madam is serious." Mudan shook her head hastily: "Sharing Madam's worries is what Peony should do."

"Yeah, Peony is a good boy." The woman raised her hand and gently stroked Peony's hair. She smiled and said, "We're just talking, come in and sit down, you two...haven't you had lunch yet? "

Cen Ying and Su Bai followed into the lobby and sat at the dining table.

Su Bai was surprisingly quiet, he hardly said anything, his eyes were scattered as if he was distracted, but Cen Ying was answering the questions.

During the chat, although Su Bai was always distracted, Cen Ying did not, and listened carefully to what the other party said.

This woman is called Yu Haitang. Although the pronunciation is the same as Yu, her surname is different.

She was originally a maid of this manor, but she was favored by the master because of her beauty, and she was accepted as a concubine. With no children, the Yu family's family business fell into her hands instead.

But Yu Haitang hardly understands anything, and the family business is handed over to the housekeeper, and because of her illness, she lives in a simple way, so she hardly knows anything about the outside world. Peony is the maid she adopted after the master died, and she is also responsible for taking care of her. People in daily life may look like masters and servants to outsiders, but they are actually as close as sisters.

Although Cen Ying is young and inexperienced, she is very intelligent.

Su Bai confronted the housekeeper head-on before, leaving the housekeeper speechless with a few words, but when she thought about it now, she immediately understood the housekeeper's true thoughts.

Because this mysterious monster activity is quite square and only eats women, so far no men have been killed, so if that monster also swallowed Yu Haitang, the entire Yu family's family business will naturally fall into the hands of the housekeeper, so He was so resistant to others inviting the Great Immortal to eliminate demons for his own benefit.

Cen Ying opened her mouth, hesitating whether to tell the story.

The sound of a bird landing on the eaves was louder just now, and she was startled.

Mudan frowned and said to drive the bird away, but Yu Haitang shook her head and said that it was not easy for the bird to survive.

Although it was just a trivial matter, Cen Ying could tell that Yu Haitang was a weak woman whom more than [-]% of men would like. She didn't have the aura of a high-ranking person, she was kind-hearted, her tutor was very good, and she even spoke in a soft and gentle voice.

...is completely different from myself.

Cen Ying is still young, so she doesn't quite understand the psychology of jealousy, but she is also a lady, but she didn't grow up to look like Yu Haitang.

She secretly glanced at Su Bai, and found that he was still in a daze, and then her heart settled down.

……

In the corner outside the manor.

The butler had a gloomy expression on his face: "My hand won't heal within half a year, that little bastard really dares to strike so hard!"

"Injured by an ordinary child, you are so weak, hmph..." The man in rough work clothes sneered disdainfully. If other servants saw it, they would be very surprised, because this man had been pretending to be dumb before.

"Why don't you help me!" The butler was about to explode, but when he saw the man's strong muscles, he had to suppress his anger.

"In helping you in front of so many people, didn't you tell others that I'm your accomplice?" The man glanced at him: "You don't pay the price yourself, don't you have any point in your heart? I can't take the initiative to help you, let alone What's more, that kid doesn't have martial arts at all, he just has stronger hands."

"Okay!" The housekeeper slapped the coffin, "You really listened to that lowly servant girl Mudan and bought the coffin back? Just throw it somewhere and let the wolves eat it?"

"You're so mad." The man said contemptuously, "I've been acting dumb here for more than two years. It's not worth being exposed for such a trivial matter."

"Small matter?" the housekeeper scolded, "We can't keep it a secret anymore! If the residents outside really invite a great fairy to kill the monster, then how can we benefit from it!"

"Monsters are never reliable." The dumb servant patted the coffin: "The only thing you can trust is your own knife."

"You want to kill someone?" The butler was surprised.

"Why do you think I have been lurking here for so long?" The man glanced at the butler: "I'll tell you the truth, I'm here for revenge."

"Whose grudge?"

"The revenge of seventy-eight people in the village." The man wiped the sweat from his face: "Two years ago, I was the third leader of a group of rogues. Many of my brothers were killed by officers and soldiers. I escaped and found a place to occupy Shantou, I have taken a fancy to the land in Yujia Town, but I don’t want to expose my whereabouts, so I can’t choose the method of burning, killing, and looting. We made up our minds and planned to make a deal with the richest family in this land... "

"That's the Yu family..." The butler's expression changed, of course he knew about it.

"Listen to me." The man rolled his eyes at the butler: "This deal is very simple, as long as the Yu family gives us money and food every year, we will not make trouble, otherwise, in this barren mountain, the officers and soldiers cannot stay here forever , let alone catch us... But when the head of the family came here to discuss business, and saw that the head of the house was actually a woman, a beautiful and weak woman, he had other thoughts."

The butler fell silent, he knew what was going to follow.

He was there that day, and was almost beheaded by that big black beard.

That big black beard was very arrogant. He put down his words that he wanted to marry Yu Haitang as his wife, seize Yu's family property, and threatened Yu Haitang. If he didn't want Yu's town to be burned to ashes, he would agree to his request. audio.

The butler thought he was just a king with a strong mouth, so he didn't take it seriously and forgot about it later, but the mention of the old incident still made him tremble a little.

"Do you want to know why no one came back later?" Bandit Kou Sanzhu covered his face and said through gritted teeth, "Because all of them are dead...all gone! I went hunting alone that day, and when I came back...seventy-eight Brother, they are all dead, everyone's throat was sealed with a sword... Only the head of the family died the worst, his whole body was chopped into dozens of pieces, and his head was gnawed by dogs, leaving only bones."

"Yes, did the monster do it?" The butler's tongue was trembling.

"It was done by humans." The man shook his head: "Monsters kill to eat, and humans kill to vent their hatred."

"who?"

"I don't know. If I know, I don't have to bear it for so long!" The third master hammered on the wall: "I have been a mute here for more than two years, just to inquire about news. It must be because the Yu family has a backer! There is a master who protects me!" !"

"This..." The housekeeper's face was livid: "Then, then I, don't I..."

"You didn't die when you wanted to seek family property, which proves that that person didn't care about it very much. After all, the incense of the Yu family had been cut off three years ago and I didn't see that person come out. Now, there are still people protecting him." The third family snorted coldly. : "It must be protecting this woman, Yu Haitang, and I can't get away from her..."

"It's really like this, there's nothing you can do if there are monsters!" The butler said angrily.

"Don't worry, I've been watching this Yu Haitang all these years. No one has ever had friendship with Yu Haitang. If that person is really protecting Yu's family, there are only two possibilities. One is that he has received the news, and the other is that he will It's hidden at home." San Dangjia took out a bottle from his arms: "You add this to the salt in the kitchen tonight."
