Yan'er didn't wait for Zheng Ze's answer, she only heard Tang Bachen shout, and he took out the dagger from his waist with two bags of clothes still on the side, rushed to Zheng Ze, and looked ahead warily.
The wind blew through the deserted street, and at some point a beautiful figure stood quietly in front of a few people, looking at Zheng Ze expressionlessly.
The murderous aura in her body was too fierce, as if the autumn wind swept through the fallen leaves, and human life was fleeting in front of her. Tang Ba gritted his teeth, and this woman's glance made him feel great pressure.
Yan'er raised her head and looked forward, her face instantly replaced by joy, "Mother!"
Breaking away from Zheng Ze's hand, she quickly ran towards the Jing Salamander in front of her. When she came to this graceful figure, Yan'er said happily: "Mom, you're awake!"
The pretty face was always cold. Jingren lowered his head and glanced at Yan'er, stretched out his hand to hold her to his side, and looked at Zheng Ze indifferently, especially his face. Even with a smile on his face, it made people feel wet.
Full of blood.
Suddenly feeling that something was not right in the atmosphere, Yan'er turned around and found that her mother had one hand behind her back, holding a dagger tightly in her hand.
There was anxiety in her smart eyes, "Mom, you misunderstood, put down the dagger first!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jing Salamand instantly withdrew his gaze and looked at her coldly.
With just one look, Yan'er understood what she meant. She couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved at this moment. I really didn't mean to betray you. This was really a misunderstanding!
"Where is my sword?" Under her cold face, her voice was as cold as ice, sharp and aggressive.
After waking up, the attic was empty, and she found that her Jingli Sword was missing. It was unclear whether it was taken back by the net or hidden by others, so she chose to find Yan'er first.
Zheng Ze didn't express any reaction to the woman's indifferent and hostile voice.
Slowly walked to the side, picked up the two packages of clothes that Tang Ba had put down, and walked straight towards the mother and daughter in front of him without answering Jing Salamander's question.
"Sir!" Tang Ba was very worried. He was unconscious before and couldn't feel it across the room. Now standing in front of him, he realized that this woman's strength exceeded his own knowledge.
In his opinion, even if the other party is not a master, he is probably not far behind.
But Zheng Ze walked forward, and he did not hesitate and followed step by step. However, the package hanging on his body made the scene somewhat funny.
Walking facing each other, as they get closer, the air between the two sides seems to become more and more stagnant and obscure, like a rubber band getting longer and longer, getting closer and closer to the limit.
Yan'er squeezed Zheng Ze's clothes tightly. She was very afraid that her mother would do something to Uncle Ze. For some reason, she was keenly aware that her mother seemed to be very hostile to Uncle Ze.
Different from the simple murderous intention when facing the snare killer, this kind of hostility is an oppositional attitude from the heart.
The figures crossed each other, Zheng Ze was standing next to Jing Salamander, and Yan'er was between them. In an instant, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly returned to normal.
"Yan'er, it's time to go home." Zheng Ze said softly.
After saying that, he acted as if he hadn't seen the Frightened Salamander, walked directly past them, and headed towards the attic.
Tang Ba, who followed him, did not have such a strong mentality. He was frightened and cautiously took a look at this beautiful woman. He only dared to look at it for 0.01 seconds. She was too beautiful and too dangerous.
Immediately, he followed Zheng Ze closely.
As the two people passed by, Yan'er looked at her mother who remained motionless and couldn't help but feel a little worried, knowing that Jing Salamander was seriously injured!
"Mom!" She shouted softly with timid eyes.
Frightened Salamander remained expressionless. Zheng Ze's face reminded her of the nightmare in the net. All of this could not be a coincidence.
"Mom, this is all a misunderstanding. Uncle Ze is a good man. He is so kind to me. He even asked someone to help heal you..." When the atmosphere was no longer so tense, Yan'er quickly introduced her.
"Do you want to stay here?" Frightened Salamander's voice seemed to have softened a bit, but it still couldn't match the gentleness.
"This..." Yan'er was speechless for a moment, her eyes flickered, and she thought for a while, "Uncle Ze wouldn't harm us. If he wanted to, he would do it when mother was injured. If you don't believe it, you can read it first
Look, Uncle Ze is really a nice person!"
She tried her best to say good things to Zheng Ze, but she was actually worried that Jingyu would stubbornly leave here. The injury was so serious this time, and the situation was not optimistic.
After listening to her words, Jing Salamander turned around and looked deeply at the attic in front of him, a flash of light flashing in his cold eyes.
When she saw this face, she understood that if this continued, she and Yan'er would never be able to escape from this dense network.
Now, she has no choice.
"Let's go!"
Hearing her mother utter two words calmly, Yan'er didn't react at first, but then joy filled her heart.
"Okay, Mom, don't worry, Uncle Ze is really nice. We even bought clothes for you when we went out..."
Yan'er happily held Jingshao's hand. She walked faster than her mother, almost impatiently pulling her towards the attic.
Tang Ba followed Zheng Ze back to the attic and couldn't help but remind him: "Sir, this woman is too dangerous!"
This woman was no better than Yan Lingji. Although she was equally beautiful, he could feel that Yan Lingji was at least normal and could communicate with her, while the woman just now was as cold as a sword stained with blood.
Putting the baggage on the table, Zheng Ze said softly: "Do what you should do."
"Yes." Tang Ba didn't say much.
Zheng Ze nodded, becoming more and more satisfied with Tang Qi's adopted son.
"Go back first!"
Tang Ba replied respectfully: "Okay, sir, please be more careful!"
He is self-aware of his own strength, and he cannot participate in this situation. However, if something unexpected happens, he is willing to die one step before Mr. Zheng.
Without saying anything, he immediately turned around and left.
After walking out of the door, he saw Yan'er walking over with Frightened Salamander in tow.
"Uncle Tang Ba, are you leaving?" Seeing him, Yan'er greeted him first.
When Tang Ba was delivering food to her today, Yan'er deliberately talked to the big uncle and all she talked about was Uncle Ze.
Looking at the cold Jing Salamander with some fear, Tang Ba showed a very forced smile to Yan'er, "Well, Yan'er should go to bed early. Sir, he asked me to come and deliver food to you tomorrow."
Yan'er waved goodbye to him enthusiastically, and Tang Ba nodded, without saying anything else, walked directly into the night and disappeared.
Tang Ba didn't dare to say anything about what Mr. Zheng Ze wanted to do, he could just calmly follow his instructions.
Jing salamander looked at the familiar exchange between Yan'er and this person, with a slight frown on his cold face, but he didn't say anything.
Pulling her mother into the attic, Yan'er sensibly closed the door.
I saw Zheng Ze already sitting in front of the desk in the hall, obviously waiting for them.
He looked at his mother looking at Zheng Ze's face motionlessly, while Zheng Ze seemed not to notice anything and was just drinking tea by himself.
Yan'er's face was embarrassed, things were not as simple as she thought!
She glanced at her mother shrewdly. Since neither of them had any intention of taking action, she had no choice but to take the lead in breaking the deadlock!
She pulled her mother and walked to Zheng Ze, "Uncle Ze, my mother just misunderstood. She thought it was the group of bad guys chasing us. Uncle Ze, please don't be angry, okay?"
Pulling the Jing Salamander in front of him, Yan'er let go of his hand, walked to Zheng Ze, and begged in a childish and soft voice.
Jing Salaman never said a word, but if he didn't want to, how could Yan'er pull him?
Listening to Yan'er's words, Zheng Ze slowly put down the cup in his hand, turned to look at the little girl with an apologetic and flattering expression on her face, smiled and shook his head, and just stretched out his hand to rub her little head.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't look at Jing Salamander twice, as if she didn't exist. This attitude started when Jing Salamander was injured.
"Yan'er, tell yourself, will you follow me or your mother in the future?"
Hearing this, Yan'er's face was stunned, "Huh?"
…
In the Sima Mansion, which had not seen him for several days, he and his wife were about to go back to the side hall when they suddenly caught a glimpse of a lonely figure in front of the main hall door, who seemed to be looking at the moon.
He immediately paused. His wife was the daughter of a businessman. Recently I heard that her husband's business was doing well. When she saw her husband stop, she couldn't help but follow his gaze.
"Auntie!" Liu Xian shouted.
After taking care of Liu Yi's funeral, he was in charge of the affairs of the mansion. Originally, he should have moved in. However, due to Zheng Ze's previous warning, in order to avoid suspicion, he would only come during the day when he had to deal with general affairs.
This time, it was because he had found something here during the day and he was in a hurry so that he could not delay it, so he came to pick it up at night. For this reason, he specially took his wife with him as a safe move.
The lonely figure turned around when he heard the sound, and saw the gentle and cowardly lady's beautiful face.
"It's Liu Xian. Is there anything wrong with coming here at night?" she asked softly.
Looking at his lonely aunt, Liu Xian sighed and couldn't help but think of his uncle's brother. He hadn't spoken to Mrs. Hu for several days and said, "Aunt, has that uncle from the Zheng family visited recently?"
Unexpectedly, when Liu Yi mentioned Zheng Ze, her mind instantly thought of that malicious face, and she shook her head, "We never did."
Hearing this, Liu Xian sighed, "There was a sudden change at the funeral that day, and it was because we neglected the distinguished guests. If my aunt has nothing to do, why not invite the uncle to a banquet on another day? It would be good to have someone who knows me well to talk to."
That's what he said, but Liu Xian was thinking about what he had heard recently. Unexpectedly, that uncle was actually Zheng Ze who wrote "Warring States Policy". The books in his wife's house were probably also written by him.
No wonder he asked himself whether he had read it that day. He once had an opportunity in front of him, but he didn't take advantage of it.
Mrs. Hu did not expect that this nephew would actually want her to invite Zheng Ze. There was some hesitation on her gentle and pleasant face, but she still nodded.
"I understand, is there anything else?" She was not good at refusing. In fact, she hadn't seen Nong Yu these days, and she was very disappointed. Zheng Ze seemed to have brought her a sweet dream, and then disappeared after leaving.
She was a little worried about Nongyu, not about anything else, but about Zheng Ze beside him, whether he...
But before she could think about it, Liu Xian's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"I don't want to trouble Auntie. I'll just go to the side hall to get something. Auntie can rest early."
After saying that, he stopped staying and left Mrs. Hu's sight with his wife.
Seeing the two people leaving, Mrs. Hu's graceful face seemed a little lost in thought. Every time she mentioned Zheng Ze, it always made people uneasy.
When she saw Zheng Ze bringing Nong Yu over that day, she seemed to remember that he was holding Yu'er's hand.
But what he did to himself... No matter what, he should know more about Yu'er's situation, but Zheng Ze can't get around this.
Even if Liu Xian didn't talk about it, she would often think about it in her mind these days when she had nothing to do. Even the characters in the play when she watched the play the day before yesterday reminded her of it, and her sister couldn't come back to her senses in time while talking to herself.
That brother-in-law who suddenly appears and is hard to distinguish between good and evil is like an enemy...
Under the moonlit night, Mrs. Hu sighed quietly and made a decision in her heart about Liu Xian's proposal.
