"By the way, the slave maid also inquired that there is a rule in Miss Jin's courtyard that a group of subordinates will be replaced every six months, so the slave maid knows very little about Miss Jin's affairs." Yalian let out a long sigh of relief after saying the last sentence, and licked her dry lips with a dry mouth.

"Move to another yard?" Shi Manman asked.

"No, the slave inquired, and those are not deeds of sale. Miss Jin said that those subordinates were all poor people, and they had to sell their bodies as a last resort. She took pity on those people, so she let go of a batch within half a year, and they were all signed living deeds. And when those people leave, they will give a sum of silver taels that will be sufficient for future expenses. Yalian said, her eyes full of admiration for Xiao Jin. At the beginning, after she was brought to Xiao Mansion by Ya Pozi, she also expected to go to Xiao Jin's courtyard, but she was sold by her father to the death deed. It can only be an extravagant hope.

After listening to everything Yalian inquired about, Shi Manman waved her down to eat something. When she was the only one left in the huge room, she saw her face solemn and glanced in a certain direction.

Yun Bi took two subordinates to carry hot water to the stone vine wing, only to see a cold tea that had been cold for a long time.

There was a muffled "bump", and the door was pushed open from the outside. An Ge sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed, and he didn't show the appearance of being disturbed, and said lightly: "Miss Shi, can you be gentle as a woman?" ”

"You locked the door?" Shi Manman glanced back at the deadbolt that had broken in two.

An Ge opened his eyes at this time, put down his two slender and straight legs on the edge of the bed, straightened out his folded clothes and said, "If Miss Shi promises me, I will help you deal with the affairs of the Xiao family...... Clean. As he spoke, he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of black blood, and his complexion, which was ruddy a moment ago, suddenly turned gray.

Shi Manman frowned, stepped forward to hold An Ge's wrist, and a stream of spiritual power tentatively flowed into An Ge's blood along Shi Manman's palm. "Your injuries are not something that ordinary people can inflict." Shi Manman put down An Ge's hand and stared at him and said.

An Ge's eyes had a hint of sinisterity, but looking at his silent appearance, he didn't seem to want to say it.

"If you don't say it, there is no need to cooperate." Shi Manman got up to leave, and before she walked to the front and back of the door, An Ge spoke, "I injured a Cangjie monk. ”

Shi Manman paused and looked back at him, and he continued: "Not long ago, I met a little monk who sneaked out of Cangjie to play outside Shicheng. During my temptation, I found that the other party was not good at learning, and she also had a Cangjie order on her. Then I can go back to Cangjie unimpeded. It's just that I never thought that although the other party is not good at learning, he has hole cards. Under the light enemy, I was hit by the other side. ”

"You!" Shi Manman's gaze swept sharply towards the other party.

The other party provoked the real Cangjie monk and hid in the Xiao family, this was not to avoid disasters but to bring disasters to Shi Manman. At this moment, although the little hooked snake is already preparing a burrow for itself to spend the winter, it must not dig too deep. She could now sense the location of the little hooked snake with careful sensing, not to mention that if she attracted cultivators who did not distinguish between right and wrong, her identity might be exposed.

An Ge only thought that Shi Manman was a cultivator who had sneaked out of Cangjie, how did he know that Shi Manman hated An Ge to the bone at this moment.

"Don't worry, she won't find me." Seeing Shi Manman's angry eyes, An Ge actually comforted the other party with a reassuring tone.

Shi Manman sneered: "Can't find it?" The aura in you is a good guide. The other party may already be on their way. With that, a trace of worry crossed Shi Manman's eyebrows.

"From tomorrow, I don't want to see you in the Xiao Mansion. Everything in the Xiao family has nothing to do with you, and I will not grant you any requests. Shi Manman dropped these words and walked out of the door anxiously, heading in the direction of the little hooked snake. At this moment, it should be too late to give his stone pendant to the little hooked snake.

But when she opened the door, she saw a cluster of lanterns parked beyond the courtyard arch. Yun Bi was standing outside the courtyard with Grandmother Xiao in her arms, Grandmother Xiao's eyes looked at Shi Manman calmly, and she didn't wait for Shi Manman to open her mouth and said coldly: "Go to that room and have a look." ”

The maid behind Grandmother Xiao got the order and couldn't wait to walk towards the wing where Shi Manman had just arrived. Shi Manman blocked the door and glanced at Yun Bi who was looking at him, and Yun Xi who was hiding behind Yun Bi and his eyes were dodging.

Yalian was caught by a few maids and couldn't move, and her eyes looked at Shi Manman anxiously, knowing that it was not suitable to speak at this moment.

Shi Manman frowned, there was Grandmother Xiao and others waiting to "catch the traitor" in front of him, and then there were monks who didn't know when they would arrive to find the little hooked snake. And the initiator of all this happened to be sitting in the room behind her, ready to destroy everything she had in the Xiao family.

She glanced back at the house, then at Grandmother Xiao and the others. Resolutely and resolutely jumped towards the courtyard of Xiao Lei, and the group of maids and women saw that there was no obstruction, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief and entered the wing room where Shi Manman first came.

After those people left the room with an inexplicable and strange expression, Yun Bi couldn't wait to ask, "Can you find someone?" ”

Sun Niang looked at Yun Bi with an expectant face, and couldn't help frowning, but she still replied respectfully to Grandmother Xiao: "Back to the ancestors, there is no one in the house who only has a pool of black blood. Yunbi's expectant appearance shattered instantly, and Yunxi pulled Yunbi's sleeve and shouted, "Impossible, I obviously ......"

"Shut up!" Grandmother Xiao turned her head and glared at Yunxi, and said coldly: "Family rules are disposed of." After speaking, he snorted coldly and turned away. When Yunxi heard Grandmother Xiao's words, the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he fell to the ground softly.

"No...... No...... Miss...... Small! A hand stretched out from behind covered Yunxi's mouth and nose. The people around him have already walked away, and the one who stayed behind is the one who executed Grandmother Xiao.

Yunxi saw the man's face hidden in the darkness, and the fear in his eyes gradually turned into despair. The struggling hand clasped the man's hand covering her mouth and nose, and her feet stared desperately until the struggle weakened, and the hand grabbed the other hand and landed on the cold ground. Her eyes were still wide open, leaving behind the last of her despair.

When Shi Manman went to the Xiao Lei Courtyard, his heart throbbed inexplicably. Then a strong uneasiness swept over, until she arrived in the Xiao Lei courtyard, and the scene she saw almost made her jaw-splitting.

"Dragon!" The mournful shouts of the stone vines spread far away.

The sword in the white-clothed hand was about to slash at the seven inches of the little hooked snake and paused for a moment, that is, at this moment, the little hooked snake was able to break free.

The man wanted to cut off the little hooked snake again, and the stone vine pulled the hairpin from her head and threw it at the man. A silver light flashed, and the hosta that the stone vine had thrown away had fallen to the ground in two. And the little hooked snake had just reached the side of the stone vine after some effort, and it was crawling at the foot of the stone vine, covered in scaly wounds.
