After Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan left, Cui'er could talk to Yu Zhongheng.
"Master, it turns out these two are your saviors?" Cui'er looked at him curiously.
Yu Zhongheng nodded, then pointed to the bruises on his face and asked, "Did you see it? These injuries were caused by water pirates..."
"Water pirate?" Cui'er opened her mouth slightly in surprise.
Seeing Cui'er's appearance, Yu Zhongheng told the story of how he had been kidnapped and extorted by water thieves and how he was rescued. However, in the description process, he naturally ignored the details of how he was afraid of death and the peony being defiled by water thieves.
Yes.
Cui'er was frightened when she heard it. After listening to it, she couldn't calm down for a long time. She just kept saying "It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous".
After a while, Cui'er suddenly asked: "Master, Cui'er is a little confused. Those bad guys trapped you in such a secluded hut. Mr. Chai and Miss Yuyuan only saw the blackmail letter. How did they find it?"
Where’s yours?”
"Pah!" Yu Zhongheng immediately clapped his fingers to stop Tweety, and said excitedly: "This question is a good one!"
"Ah?" Cui'er was puzzled, blinking her eyes and waiting for the young master to explain her doubts.
Yu Zhongheng said seriously: "I secretly asked Mr. Chai this question that day. What do you think Mr. Chai said? He said he figured it out!"
"Calculated?" Cui'er became even more doubtful.
"Yes!" Yu Zhongheng explained: "Master Chai said that he calculated my location based on the blackmail letter sent by the water thief. He said that the blackmail letter is a vicious object, and the vicious object corresponds to the position of the villain. They are heading towards
The evil position is gone and I find the young master, do you think it is powerful or not?"
Tweetie nodded vigorously and said: "Awesome, so amazing! Tweetie only found out today that there is such a magical ability in the world..."
Yu Zhongheng also nodded, and then said: "So Master, as soon as I heard about the tragedy of Brother Ouyang's family, I immediately thought of asking Master Chai for help. No matter how much money I spent, Master wanted to find out the cause of death of Brother Ouyang's family.
You can’t be so unclear!”
These words are indeed what Yu Zhongheng said from the bottom of his heart. The words he wrote were originally only enjoyed by Ouyang Zhengkan. Now that such a friend who knows and appreciates him the most is dead, can Yu Zhongheng not be sad or angry?
Cui'er said with emotion: "Master, you are such a person who values love and justice!"
"Alas..." Yu Zhongheng let out a long sigh and slowly shook his head sadly.
After coming out of Mingyue Tower, Yu Zhongheng took Cui'er back home.
As soon as she entered the house, Goddess Yu Zhongheng noticed Tweety, and her eyes kept darting at Tweety, making her feel uncomfortable.
Then, the godmother pulled Yu Zhongheng aside and asked quietly: "Master, this person...who is she?"
Yu Zhongheng looked back at Cui'er with a smile on his face, and said to his godmother: "Godmother, her name is Cui'er, she is the maid I just bought from the market. Here, this is her contract of sale. Please help me."
Collect it..."
As he spoke, Yu Zhongheng took out Cui'er's deed of betrayal from his sleeve and handed it into his godmother's hand.
The godmother took the deed of sale and took a look at it, thinking that it would be good to have more servants in the family, after all, cooking and washing at home require manpower.
The godmother raised her head and said: "Master, I don't think Mudan's injury is too serious... Let's wait two days and let Mudan teach her well..."
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhongheng shook his head and said: "No need, godmother, Peony can't stay with us for long, so don't bother her..."
Yu Zhongheng's godmother was startled for a moment, and said with unclear meaning: "Master, what do you mean by this... My godmother doesn't quite understand..."
Yu Zhongheng had no choice but to say directly: "Godmother, what I mean is that when Mudan's injury is better, I will give her a settlement allowance and let her go back to her hometown!"
"Going back to your hometown? Why, Master...Did Mudan do something wrong?"
When Godmother Yu Zhongheng thought about it, Mudan and the young master returned from experiencing danger together. Their relationship should have become deeper, but why did it turn out to be exactly the opposite?
"No, Mudan did nothing wrong..." Yu Zhongheng shook his head.
The godmother became anxious and asked: "Then why do you do this? Haven't you always said that Peony is the most considerate and the most in line with your wishes?"
Yu Zhongheng didn't want to talk about these things in front of Cui'er, so he calmed his godmother first: "Godmother, don't worry, let's go inside and talk..."
As Yu Zhongheng and his godmother walked inside, he greeted: "Tui'er, wait here, we will be back soon..."
Cui'er didn't dare to say anything, so she nodded quickly and waited in the yard.
Not long after, the two came back after talking. At this time, the godmother's face was full of resentment and helplessness.
But Yu Zhongheng waved to Tweety as if nothing was wrong and said: "Tweety, come in, the young master will take you around to get acquainted with you..."
"Well!" Cui'er hurriedly walked to Yu Zhongheng's side in small steps, then bowed respectfully to her godmother and followed the young master in.
After watching the young master leave, Yu Zhongheng's godmother sighed heavily again and said guiltily: "Oh, I'm sorry, Peony..."
Yu Zhongheng led Cui'er around the house, and soon disturbed Peony who was resting in the room.
"Tui'er, look, this is the study room where the young master usually writes his storybooks..."
"Wow, Master, there are so many books in here. Are they all storybooks written by you?"
"Of course not, the one on the bookshelf is..."
"Wow, that's a lot. Master, you are so amazing..."
Mudan heard the young master's voice and the cry of admiration from a strange woman. Her heart immediately tightened. She quickly got up from the bed, ran to the door barefoot, and then carefully opened a crack in the door, holding her breath.
Peeking outside.
At this glance, Mudan's heart froze. When she saw Cui'er's appearance, she already understood what was going on...
To be precise, she had a bad premonition when the young master refused to go out alone.
I just didn’t expect that it all happened so quickly!
Mudan hid behind the door and watched for a long time. It wasn't until the young master took Cui'er elsewhere that Mudan walked back into the house without a trace.
Then, Peony sat slowly by the bed, her eyes unfocused, but her tears couldn't stop flowing down.
An hour later, Mudan stood in front of Yu Zhongheng and his godmother. At this time, Mudan had already packed his luggage and was bowing to the two of them to say goodbye.
Yu Zhongheng didn't say anything to persuade him to stay, but turned to look at his godmother. The godmother understood, and immediately took out a hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to Mudan.
Yu Zhongheng said lightly: "Save some flowers..."
Mudan nodded and walked out of the gate with tears in her eyes. The godmother was so sad that she hurriedly followed Mudan to see her off.
After walking for a short distance, the godmother quietly stuffed a banknote into Mudan and told her, "If you encounter any difficulties when you get back, don't forget to write to the godmother."
Mudan did not refuse her godmother's kindness. After accepting the banknote, she bowed to her godmother again, then turned and walked away.
