Ruan Zhen ate a few bites of dinner, left the dormitory and hid all the banknotes close to her body. After that, Mrs. Xu knelt down in front of the Buddha statue and burned half a stick of incense.

She has something on her mind and does nothing with her mind on it, but she doesn't show it on her face.

But Mrs. Xu was short-minded and had everything written on her face. She frequently looked at the sky outside the house.

It’s like asking casually: “Are you really going to go tonight?”

Ruan Zhen lowered her eyes: "Sister-in-law, can you send the attendants to keep watch?"

Xu gave her a sidelong glance.

"When to go?"

She had to time it right, so she couldn't run into Ruan Zhen and let her know that she was secretly begging for a child.

"At three o'clock in the morning."

Xu has decided!

She set off at a quarter of an hour!!! When Ruan Zhen left, she had already come back.

Seeing her like this, Ruan Zhen felt more at ease.

As she expected, as soon as she left the hall, Mrs. Xu said to the entourage behind her with a cold face.

"Everyone, step back. There is no need to follow. There is no need to keep vigil tonight. It will disturb the Buddha's purity. Let's see if your heads can be saved."

As she spoke, she looked at the maid serving beside her.

"Go down and rest. I'm tired. I don't need your help here."

Ruan Zhen returned to the dormitory without squinting her eyes. She never expected Mrs. Xu's order to be effective.

As soon as they left, a dozen followers looked at the two dormitories with lights on, and then looked at each other in confusion.

You don’t have to listen to what the madam says, but you must listen to what the young master says. Keep an eye on Ruan Zhen at all times and never slack off.

"Boss, it's just a pretty girl. Now she's in Fanshan Temple. What kind of accident can happen? There's really no need to watch her so closely."

"That's right, the young master is so interested in her. If we keep a close eye on her, she will become our aunt in the future. If she gets annoyed and blows the pillow wind, we will suffer."

Someone rubbed their hands: "This cousin looks like a fairy. No wonder the young master cares about her. But there is no need for so many of us to watch."

"Not everyone is qualified to be the aunt of the Marquis Mansion. This cousin is so stupid. She is not happy about it."

The attendant who brought snacks to Ruan Zhen last night stared at him.

"Shut up, young master, just keep an eye on me! There is so much nonsense!"

"Then Madam..."

"Just don't let Madam notice."

The monks of Fanshan Temple will beat the bells and drums every two quarters of an hour.

Ruan Zhen counted the times with her heart beating like thunder.

——Bang.

——Bang.

The sky was dark, but Ruan Zhen didn't feel sleepy at all.

——Bang.

She turned her ear to the wall.

With a creak, she heard a very faint sound of opening the door.

It was the noise coming from the Xu family next door!

Ruan Zhen stood up suddenly.

Her movements are still slow compared to those of her followers.

Ruan Zhen saw a shadow flashing past the window.

As soon as Mrs. Xu walked out, the entourage in the courtyard quickly avoided her, and quickly went to hide in a distant place quietly.

Some of them were so frightened that they wiped their sweat when they thought of Xu's methods.

"Where is this lady going? She almost saw her."

"Let me tell you, she is very considerate of us servants."

"What do you mean?"

"Idiot, have you never heard of praying for a child under a wishing tree?"

"Boss, let's go back to the yard later."

The head of his mouth found a smooth stone and sat down.

"This is the only way down the mountain, so just rest here."

Ruan Zhen walked lightly, slowed down her breathing, and secretly followed Xu without being noticed.

To get to the back mountain, you need to walk along this stone road until you reach the end, then turn right, pass by an octagonal pavilion, and then pass through an arched door. That's it.

The night is already deep.

Gu Huaizhi blew out the candle and had just taken off half of his coat when he heard movement outside.

The moonlight is cool.

Gu Huaizhi's eyebrows moved. He didn't have time to think deeply, but his body reacted as quickly as possible and walked to the window.

With a pale expression on his face, he poked open the layer of oil paper.

————

Ruan Zhen looked at Mrs. Xu's back, unbearable flashing in her eyes.

But in her dream last night, in order to save the lives of Mama Ge and Tan Yun, she saw herself compromising, biting her lower lip, letting Fan Kun play with her face with a pale face.

But Mama Ge and Tan Yun would rather die than Ruan Zhen be humiliated.

"The life of an old slave is not worth anything, and it is not worth being treated like a girl. Have you forgotten what happened to your aunt? The daughter of the Ruan family is an upright woman, and she must not devote herself to being a concubine for a beast!"

In a 'bang' life, she pulled Tan Yun and smashed blood all over the ground.

When Mama Ge and Tan Yun died tragically, he cried so much that he almost fainted, but Fan Kun had his bodies picked up lightly and pressed her down regardless.

"They are all dead? Are you still running?"

"Don't cry, my heart will be broken by you crying."
