In the pavilion of Qi Guangxuan, Zuo 'er stood quietly, watching the fish swimming in the water.
Zhe Chunqiu, the head shopkeeper of the Ying Family's shop, received the star bell and reported, "They said that they haven't finished discussing official business. Supervisor, I'm afraid that Gou Yue will not let him meet with the other three clans before the three clans arrive. The Guang Clan has the upper hand. I'm afraid that this matter … "
"Hmph!" Zuo'er sneered. "I'm afraid not! We just need to try our best. If we can't get it, others might not be able to either. There are still people who haven't made a move yet! At this point, I don't believe that the person from the Sky Palace doesn't know that Niu Youde has been nurtured by him for many years. How could he give up so easily? Gou Yue's wishful thinking might not succeed! Withdraw our men and don't disturb them anymore. We have no other choice. I don't believe that the one who doesn't show his face can keep his composure. "
Zhe Chunqiu had a pensive look on his face. He understood, but he was still a bit hesitant. "Chief Steward, should we notify the Hao Family? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a bad thing if the Hao Family continues to pester us after we leave?"
Zuo 'er scoffed, "Duanhong was entrusted with the important task of replacing Su Yun, so he's not someone to be trifled with. When he turned around and saw that only his family was making a fuss, but we and the Kou family didn't react, he naturally reacted. On the other hand, Tang Henian's silence this whole time is truly frightening. That old fox most likely has the same plan. It's us who are slow to realize it and have made a fool of ourselves. "
Zhe Chunqiu nodded. "Your subordinate will give the order right away. But are we just going to give up like this?"
"I haven't even tried my best. How can I give up so easily? Now that Gou Yue is using the Heaven's Decree to suppress us, we have no choice but to wait for an opportunity to take advantage of it. " Zuo'er sighed and turned back. "You go and settle the matter at hand first. I'll think of a way to deal with the rest."
"Yes!" Zhe Chunqiu accepted the order and left.
Zuo'er sprinkled the food into the water and gently clapped her hands. She turned around and slowly left. She walked all the way into the depths of the courtyard and entered an elegant courtyard.
In the pavilion, Ying Yue sat quietly. She held the embroidery frame in her hands and was immersed in the stitch. When he raised his head and saw that it was Zuo 'er, he continued to bury his head in his work. There was no surprise, no joy, no sorrow, no fear.
Zuo'er tilted her head slightly. The two maids in the pavilion immediately retreated obediently. She then bowed and said, "This old servant greets Miss."
Ying Yue did not utter a word, nor did she react. She continued to immerse herself in her work, as if she had not heard anything.
Zuo'er smiled. After entering the pavilion, he stood behind Ying Yue and saw that an exquisite blue feather had appeared in the embroidery frame. He couldn't help but praise, "Young Miss is really skillful. This feather is practically alive. At first glance, I would have thought that it was a real feather. It's so beautiful!"
"What's the point of looking good? At the end of the day, it's just a feather. It can't control itself, and when the wind blows, it will run away. "Ying Yue replied indifferently.
Zuo'er sighed, "Feathers are also part of the body. Master will feel bad if they fall off."
Ying Yue replied, "If it falls off, it can still grow back. Isn't it? "
Zuo'er said, "The reason why a bird looks good is because its body is covered with all kinds of feathers. The premise of growing these beautiful feathers is that the bird can eat and drink enough to transport nutrients to its body, making its feathers bright and beautiful. If even the bird starves to death, how can there be feathers? And the grown feathers will fall off sooner or later. Some will fall into the mud of the mountains and fields and rot, while others will enter the house and become beautiful objects. It's only a matter of time before they fall off. Why don't you choose a good home? "
Ying Yue replied, "Enter the house? Being served for a long time? That's just a plaything, isn't it? "
Zuo'er shook her head, "It seems that Young Miss has a deep misunderstanding! Some things are not like what Young Miss thinks. Wait until Young Miss takes charge of the household in the future. You will naturally understand the difficulties of being in charge. "
Ying Yue replied, "I've already listened and let it be. Don't you think it's unnecessary for housekeeper to say these things?"
Zuo'er said, "Things have changed. The Guang family is unscrupulous. I'm afraid that we have already fallen into a disadvantageous position. So Young Miss is too slow to let things go. You need to move and take the initiative. "
Ying Yue's hands didn't stop, "What do you want me to do?"
Zuo'er said, "The Guang family has the upper hand. It's difficult for us to attack anymore. We can only try our best to stabilize the situation. In the future, I will try my best to create opportunities for Young Miss to meet him alone. If the rice can be cooked, then the matter is settled."
Ying Yue suddenly raised her head and sneered, "Do you want me to take the initiative to take off my clothes and offer myself to you? If the man is not willing to do this kind of thing, can a woman force it? "
"That's why I need Young Miss's cooperation!" Zuo'er turned her hand and revealed a small box in her palm. She gently opened it. There was a pinch of amber-like paste inside, slightly orange. "You only need to scrape a little of this thing with your nails and mix it into the wine. It's colorless and tasteless, and it's impossible to notice. After drinking it, everything will be done. Young Miss, keep it by your side. It can come in handy at critical moments. It can also be considered as a preparation for emergencies."
Ying Yue immediately understood what it was. She was shocked and annoyed. She suddenly stood up, "How dare you force me to use this obscene thing to do such a despicable thing?"
"Sigh!" Zuo'er shook her head and sighed, "Young Miss, you may not know this, but this is a good thing. It's a secret item of the Left Monitoring Division. It's not easy to get it. In order to complete the task, the Left Monitoring Division has used this thing countless times. Does the Heavenly Court think that this thing is despicable? Young Miss has already grown up. In the future, you will come into contact with many things. Most of them are just facts. It's meaningless to be involved with despicable things. "
Ying Yue was angry, "Zuo'er, how dare you. I respect you as my grandfather's man. How dare you bully me like this?"
"Young Miss, you're too serious. How could this old servant dare to bully Young Miss? It's just that it's not easy for Young Miss's parents to live in the Ying family. This old servant just wants to help Young Miss, I don't dare to force Young Miss! Young Miss should know how much help it would be to have a person who is highly regarded by the Lord and holds a lot of troops in his hands as the son-in-law of Young Miss's parents. Most people's lifespans are limited. Those who can cross the gates of hell are rare. If you can't break through to the Divine Soul Realm, you will eventually return to dust. Not everyone is qualified to inherit the throne. Young Miss, you might as well ask your parents for their opinion before making a decision. This old servant will take his leave! "Zuo'er left the thing on the table, cupped his hands and left the pavilion.
Ying Yue, whose face was filled with grief and indignation, grabbed the thing on the table and raised her hand to throw it away. But in the end, she couldn't throw it away. With a face full of grief, she sat down dispiritedly …
Star Moon Tower.
Duan Hong, who had locked himself in the dark room and was facing the hazy window, suddenly turned around, "Only our family is left outside the Pavilion of Truth?"
Pan Saixian, the head shopkeeper of the Hao Family, nodded and said, "Yes."
"I was wondering why Tang Henian didn't make a move. I've been on high alert against that old fox! The Guang Family has the upper hand. They should retreat in order to force the people who should make a move. Only then can they even the situation! Only now did I realize that the old fox had already expected that it would be useless to fight with the Guang Family, so he didn't make a move. The old fox is the old fox. He is calmly watching the show from the side, but our families are jumping up and down here. Our means are superior and inferior. When we go back, we will let His Highness look down on us! " Duan Hong raised his hand and slapped his forehead heavily, then pointed at Pan Saixian, "If we don't show our helplessness and create the illusion that the Guang Family is going to succeed, the person who messes up the situation will always sit on the side and watch us fight. If we can mess up ourselves, he won't make a move! Quick! Immediately let our people withdraw and return the Pavilion of Truth to peace. "
"Yes!" Pan Saixian immediately took out the star bell to contact the outside. After getting a reply, she put away the star bell and informed, "It has been withdrawn."
Duan Hong nodded and sighed, "If the Guang Family can't succeed, in the end, it will inevitably become snatching people from the hands of the Heavenly Palace. I'm afraid it won't be easy to succeed! Tang Henian, that old fox, is right not to make a move. Even if he snatches it, it will be in vain! "
Pan Saixian asked curiously, "Why?"
Duan Hong said with a wry smile, "Because the case hasn't been settled yet!"
Pan Saixian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood. She said in a deep voice, "Yes! Now whoever succeeds will make the higher-ups angry. If the higher-ups really want to mess up the situation, once they fail, the case will not be over. They can kill Niu Youde at any time. All the blame will be put on Niu Youde alone. Even if he snatches it, he will be dead, and his daughter's reputation will be ruined! The intervention of the Western Army in this case will be very useful! "
"It's not that there is no way!" Duan Hong hesitated and tilted his head to ask, "Have you got what I asked you to get?"
"Yes, it's ready." Pan Saixian took out a small box. As soon as she opened it, a faint orange brilliance bloomed inside, which was shaped like congealed amber. "Since it's useless to get it now, is this thing still useful?"
Duan Hong said, "Don't make it public if you get it. It's virtuous to talk to Niu Youde. Wait until the case is settled, then make it public!"
Pan Saixian nodded slightly, and then said with a little hesitation, "Can the lady cooperate with us?"
Duan Hong said, "She has to pay the corresponding price to enjoy the luxury that is beyond the reach of the common people. This matter is not her fault. Also, we have to make preparations. If Niu Youde really doesn't know what's good for him because of the widow, we have to capture the widow and make her persuade Niu Youde. "
Pan Saixian said, "I'll make the preparations."
Duan Hong said, "Idiot! Now is not the time to make a move. The Yunhua Pavilion is guarded by the imperial guards. Are you going to force your way in? When the joint investigation of the three departments comes back, they will definitely ask her questions. She's gone, and the city gate is closed! "
In the city, in the Hall of Heroes, Huangfu walked leisurely into a bamboo forest.
In the forest, there was a reclining chair made of bamboo. A middle-aged man in snow-white clothes was lying barefoot on it. He had a handsome face and was reading an ancient scroll with great interest. From time to time, there would be spinning bamboo leaves falling on his body. His entire person exuded a lazy and carefree aura.
Huangfu Duanrong walked to the side and sat down. She pushed the middle-aged man's body away and squeezed a spot for herself. She leaned close to him and pulled his ear. "You're really free, making me run around."
The middle-aged man was none other than Huangfu Duanrong's husband, Huangfu Jun. Y's father was called Wuning.
Wuning heard her and turned his head away from the ancient scroll. He looked at her and said cheerfully, "Madam has always been capable. Of course I don't have to worry. Tell me, what's the situation with the Pavilion of Truth? "
Huangfu Duanrong said, "They're done. They're all gone."
"They're all gone?" Wuning held the ancient scroll in front of his chest. He frowned and said, "The Pavilion of Truth used the Heavenly Decree to suppress them. It seems that they've forced the other families into a corner. If this drags on, I'm afraid the Guang family will succeed." He took out the Star Bell and contacted it somewhere.
