Everyone respected him, but they were also worried, because there were so many people who could succeed him as the lord of the city.

The eldest son deserves to inherit the position of the lord of the city, but he is old, and he himself is not enthusiastic about the position of the lord of the city, but his son is very interested.

No one can see through who will fall into the hands of this city lord, and the one who has the most right to speak is the old city lord, and the old city lord seems to have his own set of plans.

Hua Chen has been following the owner of the dream since she came to this dream, but in fact, it is not that she is following closely, but that although this woman's body is not rotten and her soul is not out of her body, she can't dream like a living person, and she must rely on Hua Chen's mana to maintain her vitality.

In the end, it became Hua Chen who ran into the master's body, and the master was floating in the air, and no one could see her except Hua Chen.

This woman is five points similar to Hua Chen, she has the same temperament as an orchid, she loves white clothes, Hua Chen is a fifteen-year-old girl who just came here, and she is the fire girl in the kitchen of the city lord's mansion.

"Where's the girl?" The grandmothers in the kitchen outside the door were gossiping.

"It's still burning."

"You can watch her, don't let her out of this yard, if people see it, how bad it should be, wearing white clothes all day, anyone who sees it will be upset."

"You also know that girl has a poor background, she has been like this for so many years, and she is also a filial child, and when have you seen her out of the kitchen half a step, don't worry." The grandmother surnamed Liu, who helped the fire girl Su Bai speak, was Su Bai's neighbor in the early years, and a fire burned all Su Bai's family, leaving only the five-year-old Su Bai.

On weekdays, the fire girl eats and lives in the kitchen, and the thatched house is not far away, and there is only a small four-corner yard in her world, and I don't know what is outside.

The grandma who talked to Grandma Liu was surnamed Wang, and she was the chief steward of the kitchen, and she liked festive colors on weekdays, and the most unaccustomed thing was plain white, and she seemed to be wearing filial piety clothes all day long, and she was really depressed.

In the kitchen, the real Su Bai was teaching Hua Chen how to light the fire, and how the fire would be strong. You can leave it alone for an hour or two.

"What is your heart's desire?" Hua Chen didn't like fire, she felt that this thing was a bit boring.

Su Bai thought for a moment, "I have been trapped in the lake for more than a thousand years, and I have long forgotten the hatred, and now I just want to know who trapped me in the lake. ”

Su Bai recalled the past, and only felt that this incident was very aggrieved, why she was locked at the bottom of the lake, what was that person, she couldn't guess who locked her, and she didn't know what that person thought.

One hour after death, the soul is one with the dead body, and it is not known what is happening in the outside world, and the first three days are out of ignorance, and it is not until the seventh day that it is completely clear.

Hua Chen felt that it was a little difficult at this time, she was trapped in the mortal body, her mana was even more unable to be used, and she couldn't feel the location of the soul lock clothes, if she could know who the soul lock clothes were in now, she could know who did this.

When night fell, Hua Chen fell asleep leaning on the firewood, the routine of this body was so that she couldn't control it, so she could only sleep soundly.

With a creak, the kitchen door was pushed open, and a man crept in and closed the kitchen door.

Su Bai opened his eyes and saw a black shadow hiding under the table, under the table were seasonal vegetables, and people were completely hidden inside.

Footsteps were heard outside the courtyard, and people came in with torches.

Su Bai rubbed his eyes and said in a daze, "It's so late, who is it?" Dressed in white, she was cloaked in a cloak and stood up like a ghost.

The slave who came in to check on the man was taken aback.

"Su Bai, you're scared to death of me." The servants were terrified, and the servants in the house knew that there was a strange woman in the kitchen, and the young men liked her, because she was born extremely beautiful, more beautiful than any of the concubines of the old city lord.

"It turned out to be Brother Cao, what's wrong?" Su Bai blinked and looked at the guards on duty, Cao Yong, the guard steward in the City Lord's Mansion.

"The Seventh Master has lost a treasure in his house, and we are on duty looking for thieves, if you find someone, you will scream, and I will send two people to guard near the kitchen tonight."

"Thank you, Brother Cao."

"Alright, you can sleep." Cao Yong looked at Su Bai's eyes with love, he was the most urgent one among the many people who pursued Su Bai, a year ago he said that he would marry Su Bai after her fifteenth birthday, but this word had not yet reached Su Bai's ears, and no one told her this, because they all felt that she was not worthy of the people in the house, at most she was a concubine.

Cao Yong really left two guards at the door, and the screams could be heard from a distance.

When the person left, Su Bai pretended to sleep, leaned on the firewood and closed her eyes to recuperate, knowing that there were thieves in the room, how could she sleep peacefully.

After half an hour, the man hiding in the vegetable pile slowly walked out with his body bowed. He opened the door and looked out, then stepped back, looked around, and finally found a safe place and fell asleep.

After another half an hour, Su Bai opened his eyes and looked at the place where the man slept, this thief was really bold, he actually slept here, it was too bold.

"You're not asleep, are you?" The man who thought he was asleep suddenly asked.

"You...... How do you know? Su Bai was frightened and asked with a stammer.

"Although you pretended to rub your eyes just now, your eyes were very clear, and you glanced towards the place where I was hiding." The man said confidently.

"So you just kept looking at me." Su Bai was a little annoyed, she thought she was well disguised.

The man didn't answer her, "You are not like an ordinary fire girl, you are calm and cautious, but you are better than many men." ”

"I'll just treat you as a compliment to me." Su Bai's heart is beautiful, the first time a man praised her in person, and on weekdays, the grandmothers would only say that she was unlucky.

"Don't be it, I'm just praising you." The man looked a little uninterested, yawned slightly, and fell asleep with peace of mind.

Su Bai leaned on the firewood, looked at the place where the man slept, and slowly fell asleep.

Hearing the sound of chickens, Su Bai opened her eyes and found that the sky was already dark, and Grandma Liu was already washing rice in the kitchen, she remembered what happened last night, and hurriedly looked at the place where the man had slept, there was no one there, and there was no trace of anyone sleeping at all.

"Was last night just a dream?"

"Girl, what are you muttering? Hurry up and light the fire, or you won't be able to catch the time for the maids to get breakfast. ”

"Oh, I'm going to light the fire." Su Bai hurriedly concentrated on the fire and put this matter behind him for the time being.

Sometimes it's not clear whether the body controls the soul, or the soul controls the soul, and the two have always been safe and sound, more like you have me, I have you.

In the afternoon, Cao Yong came to the kitchen after his shift, and there was only one mother-in-law in the kitchen who stewed supplements for the old city lord, and Su Bai obediently lit the fire.

Cao Yong leaned against the kitchen door and looked at Su Bai who was burning the fire.

"Steward Cao, what kind of wind blew you here?" When the cooking woman saw that it was Cao Yong, she immediately smiled like a flower.

Many people in the house want to tell Cao Yong about their girl, this Cao Yong is young and promising, and his appearance is quite good, and the most valuable thing is that many young masters in the house trust Cao Yong very much, and many important things will be done by Cao Yong.

"You're busy, I'll just go around." Cao Yong walked in and swayed to Su Bai.

The cooking lady Yu Guang twitched this scene, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she glanced at Su Bai with disgust.

"Little girl, was you scared last night?" Cao Yong looked at Su Bai with a blank eye, he had never seen such a good-looking person, if he could marry home in the future, he would be able to watch it all the time, it would definitely be good.

"No, I'm not afraid." Su Bai raised his little head and said very proudly.

"Oh? Aren't you afraid of being bullied by bad guys? Cao Yong's eyes were full of joy and love, he was really distressed and distressed.

"No one dares to bully me, but if anyone bullies me, I will beat them with a burning stick." Su Bai was holding a burning stick, and he was violent, it really seemed like that.

"Haha, okay, then Brother Cao will rely on you for protection from now on." Cao Yong joked.

"Brother Cao is so powerful, he definitely doesn't need my protection, but if someone bullies Brother Cao in the future, Su Bai will definitely stand on Brother Cao's side."

Cao Yong, who listened to these words, felt very comfortable in his heart, and felt that Su Bai was also interested in him.

"Okay, Brother Cao will follow you in the future."

Some things are better not to say than to say.

The next morning, something happened in the courtyard of the eighth master, and the eighth young lady had a miscarriage after drinking the tonic soup.

There were only three people in the kitchen that day, and everyone chose to believe in the people who were often in the kitchen, and they were suspicious of Cao Yong, the person who suddenly appeared in the kitchen.

Sometimes it's not that others don't believe you, it's that you're in that position, and some people have to doubt you, or because of you, they have to doubt you.

Cao Yong was tortured and interrogated, just to force the person behind the scenes.

At night, Su Bai sneaked out of the kitchen, she knew where the dungeon in the house was, it was not far from the kitchen, otherwise she wouldn't dare to go out.

There are no prisoners in the dungeon all year round, and now there is only Cao Yong, who is locked to a stake and is not guarded, as for whether there is anyone in the dark, it is unknown.

Su Bai brought some leftovers and steamed buns from the kitchen, checked that there was no one around, and then walked into the dungeon.

"Little girl, why are you here?" Cao Yong heard footsteps in a daze, the skin on his chest was open, and the pain made it difficult for him to sleep.

"I heard that when the mother-in-law was chatting, Brother Cao made a mistake, so I went to see Brother Cao." Su Bai took the food and fed it to Cao Yong.

Cao Yong has not taken a drop of water this day, and it is very likely that he will be tortured to extract a confession the next day, and he may not be able to survive in a few days.
