When he came in just now, his movements were so gentle that most people couldn't hear him. How could Xu Guiren find out and come to open the door? How could she, a weak woman, find him? As for coincidence... Xu Guiren clearly said what he said.
It was obvious that she came to open the door because she discovered him.
Thinking of this and remembering that he had vaguely heard voices when he went in before, Liu Hu even more suspected that there was another person in the Xu family's house. Damn it, why didn't he go in and search just now? Maybe he would have discovered that she was hiding something.
The one who got up.
The Ouchi guard saw Liu Hu maintaining his previous posture and said strangely: "Chief, what's wrong with you? Why are you standing here motionless?"
Liu Hu came back to his senses and said solemnly: "I suddenly remembered that there was something weird in the yard just now. You guys should follow me in and have a look."
As soon as they heard that there was something strange, all the guards did not dare to neglect and hurriedly entered the courtyard with him. They were on guard everywhere, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. After all, there had been murders here.
Liu Hu did not stop and came outside the wing again. This time, he opened the door directly and rushed in. He startled Mrs. Xu who had just laid down on the bed and looked at Liu Hu in a panic, "You
do what?"
Liu Hu ignored her, but looked around the room, even opening the cabinets, not missing any place where someone might be hiding.
When Mrs. Xu saw that he was ignoring her and just looking around, she guessed what he was looking for. She used her anger to cover up her panic and said, "Leader Liu, what on earth are you doing?"
Liu Hu searched every possible hiding place in the house, but still found nothing. He was secretly annoyed. He must have taken advantage of the time to escape. How disgusting!
"Leader Liu, did you hear what I said?" Xu's voice was rare and stern.
Liu Hu suppressed the annoyance in his heart, lowered his head and said: "My lord, please forgive me. I just noticed something strange in the courtyard. I was afraid that your lord would be harmed, so I broke in without your consent. If I have offended you, I hope you will."
Haihan.”
"I want to forgive you too, but please take a look for yourself, Mr. Liu. You disturbed me again and again and made a mess in my place. How do you want me to forgive you?" The noisy arguing voice woke up the sleeping room next door.
With a purple face, she came over in clothes. After lighting the lamp in the room, she supported Mrs. Xu who looked angry and said, "Master, what happened?"
Mrs. Xu said angrily: "Ask Leader Liu yourself, I really don't know if they are here to protect me or to anger me?"
Zi Rong glanced down at her toes, and then said angrily: "Leader Liu, although you are here under the emperor's order, my master is a nobleman personally ennobled by the emperor, let alone a small leader like you, even if he is
The commander of the Royal Forest Army is here, and he has no right to break into my master's room like this. Do you want to lose your head?"
Liu Hu also knew that breaking in like this was a big deal, especially when he didn't find anything suspicious. He quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake and said: "I know that I am guilty, but I am really worried about the safety of your nobleman, so I rushed in rashly."
Those who come in, please be patient and forgive me for my recklessness!"
After all, Mrs. Xu had a guilty conscience and her gentle temperament. When Liu Hu said this, her heart softened and she said: "That's it for this time, but if there is another time, I will report it to the emperor when I go back and ask him to treat you."
crime."
"Thank you, noble man!" Liu Hu thanked him and stepped out.
After closing the door, Mrs. Xu rubbed her forehead and said, "Zirong, pack your things and then go back to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow to chant sutras."
Zi Rong didn't seem to hear Xu's words, and still stood there motionless until Xu said it again, then she bent down and took something out from under her feet, "Master, there are some things that you should tell this slave.
.”
When Xu saw what was in Zi Rong's hand, her expression changed drastically, because what she was holding was the dragon-shaped jade pendant that Hong Shi usually wore around his waist. This time, he thought he was in a hurry and accidentally dropped it on the ground. Fortunately for Zi Rong,
After Rong came in, he stepped on it with his feet, otherwise Liu Hu would see him and things would be in trouble.
"Isn't it just a piece of jade pendant? What could be wrong? I think I accidentally dropped it on the ground just now." After saying that, Mrs. Xu wanted to take the jade pendant, but was avoided by Zi Rong, "Master, what kind of jade pendants do you have, slave?"
It’s very clear that this jade pendant is definitely not included. If you say this, wouldn’t even this slave believe it?”
"It's not that I can't believe it, but..." Mrs. Xu looked away with an embarrassed expression. Her secret meeting with Hong Shi was her biggest secret and she didn't dare to tell anyone, not even her closest friend Zi Rong.
"But what? I can be sure that there was another person in this room just now, and this jade pendant belongs to him. Master, please tell me who he is and why he is here?" Zi Rong knew what was going on.
It was a big deal, so I kept asking.
"Don't ask, it's fine anyway." Faced with Xu's almost perfunctory words, how could Zirong give up? After her repeated questioning, Xu finally said: "Yes, there was indeed something in this room just now.
There is one person here, but now that he is gone and will not appear again, why do you have to know his identity."
Zi Rong's face turned pale. She knew very well that the person in the room before was definitely not a woman. Otherwise, Mrs. Xu wouldn't have to be so nervous and scared. In other words...
Thinking of this, she nervously grabbed Mrs. Xu's sleeve and said: "Master, you are really with me... with me..." She didn't know how to continue the next words, and Mrs. Xu's silence undoubtedly acquiesced to this.
Something made her anxious and angry, and she stamped her feet and said
: "Master, are you crazy? You are a nobleman of the emperor. How could you do such a thing? If anyone finds out, you will die! Please tell me quickly, who is the prodigal who is so bold?
, I dare to be frivolous with you."
In fact, she had noticed something was wrong with Mr. Xu a few days ago, but she had always thought it was because she was being careless. She never expected that it was true.
"Things have already happened, so what's the use of regretting it. If you are afraid that I will harm you, after I return to the palace, I will tell Manager Qian and ask him to send you to a better place. I think he will still be willing to do so for the sake of face.
Here it is." With that said, Mrs. Xu took the jade pendant from Zi Rong's hand and stroked it gently, her brows and eyes filled with indescribable tenderness.
Xu's behavior made Zi Rong more and more suspicious. She had been with Xu for more than half a year and knew that she was not a flirtatious person. But this time she deliberately protected that man and even seemed to have feelings for him. What happened?
One thing, is it possible that this man and his master have known each other for a long time? But she has never heard her master mention any man, except...
Zi Rong's face turned pale and she said, "Master, are you Er Ah... um!" Before Zi Rong could finish her words, she was tightly covered by Mrs. Xu who looked panicked.
