It seemed that there was a misunderstanding, so Xi Ning explained that they were allowed to hold the deed of betrayal so that if something happened to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, they could put aside the relationship.

The day before yesterday, it was said that money could be used to redeem one's life. Most of the people in the house were running for their lives and took money to redeem one's life. Those who had no money also borrowed money from everywhere for fear of leaving late.

In Zhu Lan's courtyard, all the maids and women below the second class left. Among the first and second class maids, except for Xia He, the other winter plums, autumn leaves, spring rain, and Yanhong all stayed.

The last thing she expected was that Qiuye would also stay. After all, she had relatives in the capital. Those who had no one left needed to find a place. She could go home after leaving the house.

After hearing this, the four maids broke into tears and took the deed of betrayal with smiles.

Dongmei was outspoken and put the deed of sale in her arms: "My slave, please keep it for now, and then return it to the young lady when the master and the others come back!"

Xi Ning... is her place really so nice that she doesn't even want free redemption?

The remaining three maids almost said in unison: "Slave too!"

Xining...

When the four maids stood up, someone knocked on the window and opened it. It was a secret guard.

Zhao Geng and Qiutian didn't know what they were busy with these two days, but they left enough secret guards. Otherwise, during the fight yesterday, how could the Zhenguo General's Mansion have defeated the Rongguo Duke's Mansion?

The secret guard gave two messages.

Article 1: General Zhao and his son are all fine in the prison, because the Dali Temple Minister has been "taken care of" by the secret guards in the middle of the night, and personally asked the prison chief not to be in trouble, and treated him with good meals. As for Mrs. Zhao's entrustment,

Keep the two hundred taels of silver sent every day.

Apparently, they waited until General Zhao returned and returned them together.

Article 2: After the official vomited blood and fainted in the court hall, he never left the palace again. The queen did not come out of the palace, and the imperial doctor also did not come out after entering. The entire palace was surrounded by the official's personal guards.

They were all solid. Yesterday, when the imperial doctor came out, he was surrounded and asked how the official was doing. The imperial doctor refused to say anything, but from the looks of it, the official's health was very bad.

Finally, the secret guard gave a message: "The eldest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Zexian, is here. He is meeting with Mrs. Zhao in the living room. I don't know what to talk about."

After finishing speaking, Qiuye quickly handed over some loose silver. After the secret guard got the silver, he jumped up and jumped up to the roof.

Qiuye frowned: "Don't let Master Zhou come here to cancel the engagement..."

If the Zhenguo General's Mansion is overturned, even if it is just an engagement but not yet married, it will have some impact on the official career. It is only natural for people to come and cancel the engagement at this time.

Dongmei became angry when she heard this: "Dare you! Miss is the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. He, a young scholar without an official position, dares to be picky. If he wants to withdraw, Miss will withdraw from his marriage. Let's go and have a look. I dare to say that I will withdraw."

Dear, this slave will beat him out with a broom."

"Hey~" It was already too late for Xi Ning to stop her. The three maids rushed out angrily. They probably weren't this angry after their engagement was annulled.

Xining quickly summoned Qiuye: "Follow me quickly and tell them not to act rashly and cause trouble. I really don't want them anymore."

"Hey~" Qiuye pulled up her skirt and ran out.

Xining looked out through the window and saw Qiuye stopping Dongmei and others before they left the yard. After saying a few words, Chunyu walked back. It seemed that she didn't want no one around her. The remaining three

The person looked around and walked towards the wall.

There were some brooms and dustpans for cleaning the yard beside the wall. Each of them took a big broom made of bamboo branches, and even Qiuye took one. The three of them carried the brooms and went out.

Xining...

Even Qiuye was unreliable, and Xining could only use a whistle to call the secret guard.

The secret guard was stunned after hearing this. You must be right, he is a secret guard, and the first time the young lady used the whistle, even if it was not murder or arson, it was to follow the whistle to find out. It was actually to stop the maid from doing something stupid...

He was a little embarrassed. Even if he covered his face, he knew it was him. He usually raised his head but never looked down: "Miss, they are all your people. If they don't listen, the younger one will be knocked unconscious or tied up."

, this has happened to me more or less, so why don’t we just call some mothers-in-law.”

At this time, to avoid the suspicion between men and women? Xining simply gave him a reassurance: "Knock him out when he needs to, and tie him up when he needs to. If they make a fuss, you can marry whichever one you think is okay. I'll make the decision."

The secret guard's eyes suddenly lit up, and he bowed: "I will definitely fulfill my mission, little one." Then he jumped out of the window and jumped out of the courtyard wall in the blink of an eye.

Xining... is another one who refuses to leave even if there is a door open, and specializes in jumping over windows and walls.

Thinking that the young lady was going to be annulled, although Chun Yu didn't say it, she showed her displeasure on her face. She couldn't even hide it. She pursed her lips while doing needlework, and poked the patterns on her purse like the soles of her shoes with needles.

After a while, Qiuye came back with a blushing face.

It turns out that Zhou Zexian did not come to cancel the engagement, but wanted to advance the wedding date and get married tomorrow.

If Zhao Yinghong is married, she is not a member of the Zhenguo General's Mansion. Moreover, Zhou Zexian has no official position and no official position, so the officials will probably not pursue him further.

Mr. Zhou and his wife were out of town, so he would send someone to bring General Zhao back as soon as something happened. If they took the waterway, they could arrive at midnight or tomorrow at the latest, and they could catch up with the wedding. But the wedding might have been rushed, which would have wronged the bride.

Mrs. Zhao was moved and reminded that if this were the case, Zhou Zexian might not be able to have an official career in this life.

Zhou Zexian expressed his opinion that if the officialdom is really so dark, it would be a good thing not to be an official for the rest of his life. It is also a blessing in life to be able to raise eyebrows with the destined person and grow old together.

Mrs. Zhao was almost in tears. She kept saying that she was a good son-in-law, but she still didn't dare to make the decision. She asked Qiuye to come over and ask her what she meant.

Xining looked back and asked, "Where are Dongmei and Yanhong?" They couldn't really be tied up or knocked unconscious by the secret guards, right?

Qiuye's face became redder and redder: "We were stopped by Tian Qing on the road. Sister Dongmei attacked him from behind and knocked him unconscious with a broomstick."

The secret guard was knocked unconscious, Xining...

She didn't even know the name of this secret guard, but these maids were quite familiar with him. If she wasn't very familiar with him, how could she let Dongmei succeed in a sneak attack and knock her out.

"Sister Dongmei stayed to take care of him. Yanhong and I went to the living room and hid behind the screen to eavesdrop. When we heard that my uncle was not here to cancel the engagement, but to marry the young lady as soon as possible, Yanhong was so happy that she knocked down the screen."

Xining...

"Before Yanhong fell, she pulled me, causing me to fall with her."

Xining covered her forehead: "Did Young Master Zhou see it?"

Qiuye lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong: "Yeah."

Xining held on to her last hope: "You didn't bring the broom into the living room, did you?"

"If you bring it in, just hold it in your hand. Otherwise, if my uncle comes to break off the engagement, what will he be hit with?"

Xining...

You can imagine how unforgettable the scene was when the screen was knocked down and two little maids holding big brooms fell out from behind. They were both her personal maids.
