Xiao Tao's hand was caught, she looked up at the girl who was older than her, but she didn't dare to say anything, she knew that this girl would not let her go, she needed to find another way.

Later, she was assigned to the inner courtyard, and Xiao Tao learned that the little girl she met before was called Green Lotus, and she was one of the stewards of Ning Mansion, and she was mainly responsible for the scheduling of the maids in the house.

"Which Ning Mansion is this?" Xiao Tao can't escape in the inner courtyard, and she has to be accompanied by someone to even go out of the inner courtyard, let alone go out.

"There is only one Ning Mansion in Mobai Town, you are not from Mobai Town, right?" The maid next to her is called Ziyu, and she is a little girl who washes clothes with Xiao Tao.

There is only one person in Mobai Town who can be called Ning Mansion, and that is the largest family, the Ning family, who is in charge of everything in Mobai Town. It is said that this Mobai Town was founded by the Ning family back then, and the people in the town have some relationship with the Ning family.

Hearing that it was this Ning Mansion, Xiao Tao's eyes were full of fear, she wanted to leave here, because this place would soon be razed to the ground, maybe she would not be treated as Ning Mansion, and then killed by the general with a sword.

"Little Peach, what's wrong with you? Your hands are shaking. The maid next to her looked at Xiao Tao curiously.

"Nothing." Xiao Tao lowered her head and washed her clothes silently, thinking that she must leave as soon as possible.

I planned to go out to explore the road at night, but I didn't expect Ziyu to take the green lotus to the west courtyard where the maid lived.

"It's her, I think she seems to have other thoughts, Sister Green Lotus, come and take a look." Ziyu's voice was at the door, and the door was pushed open, and Green Lotus walked in.

Xiao Tao got dressed and was going to go out, but she didn't want to be caught.

"Xiao Tao, from now on, you go to the young master's side to serve." Lu He just saw Xiao Tao's appearance and knew that what Ziyu said was true, this new maid did have the intention of escaping, and none of the people who came into the house could slip away in vain, so she couldn't make a mistake if she took care of this matter.

About the matter of the young master of Ningfu, Xiao Tao has heard of it, I heard that the young master was born weak and sickly, and secretly said that the old man did too many bad things in the early years, so that his only son would be weak and sickly, I heard that the old man did not like this only son very much, and left him in Beiyuan, with two maids, let him fend for himself, but there are a lot of guards over there, and it is difficult for even the young master to go out, it is rumored that he has not come out since he entered Beiyuan.

"Sister Green Lotus, can you let me go......" Xiao Tao knelt on the ground and hugged Green Lotus's legs and cried.

She cried like this, which made Lu He's heart harden a little, "Ziyu, hurry up and pull her to the young master." Green Lotus said impatiently.

"Xiao Tao, you are obedient, how good this Ning Mansion is, there is food and clothing, you enjoy endless blessings here, it is much better than you being alone outside." Ziyu pulled Xiao Tao and walked out, babbling and instilling the good thoughts of Ning Fu.

Little Tao's heart is like ashes, she knows that she can't escape now, and she only hopes to find a chance to leave here in the future.

At night, many people in the Ning Mansion had already fallen asleep, and Ziyu took Xiao Tao to Beiyuan.

"Brother Wang, this person is a new maid, Sister Green Lotus asked me to send people to the young master's courtyard, and I handed them over to you." Ziyu smiled like a peach blossom and pushed Xiao Tao to the side of the Wang guard.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll take people to the young master's courtyard." The Wang guard grabbed Xiao Tao's wrist with a straight face, and took Xiao Tao directly to Beiyuan.

Xiao Tao is like a little chicken being carried, and she has no power to fight back.

The two maids in the courtyard had not yet slept, and when they saw someone coming in, their expressions were very happy.

"Brother Wang, can you ask Sister Green Lotus to change our position." The two maids quietly stuffed copper coins into the king's guards, and the smiling faces on their faces were very eye-catching.

"This is a new maid, and the two of you will definitely be able to go out." The Wang guard stood on the spot and weighed the copper coin in his hand, but he had no intention of leaving.

The two maids understood, and hurriedly went back to the house to get the scattered silver they had accumulated, and handed them over to the king's guards.

Xiao Tao didn't know what the two young ladies thought, and the two young ladies didn't talk to her, Xiao Tao found an empty room by herself and lived for the night, and the next morning the two sisters who watched their homework packed up their things and moved out of the yard.

"Xiao Tao, this Beiyuan is just a maid for you, you have to serve the young master well in the future, if the young master has any accidents, you don't want to live." Green Lotus had a straight face, and instantly looked like he was more than ten years old, which was really fierce and a little ugly.

Xiao Tao lowered her head and said nothing, watching the person wearing green lotus cloth shoes walk farther and farther, the door was closed, and there was no movement.

What happened in the courtyard, the people in the house didn't seem to know at all, Xiao Tao came here all night and didn't see the young master.

There are many yards in Beiyuan, as well as vegetable gardens and many empty rooms, and there is everything in the kitchen, which seems to be a world of its own.

Xiao Tao knew that she couldn't leave here for a while, so she went to the kitchen to boil the water first, and after finishing it, she came to the door of the largest room, put the copper basin on the ground, and knocked on the door.

"The door is unlocked." There was a clear male voice inside, and the voice was like the breeze in the forest, clean and pure.

Xiao Tao pushed open the door and walked into the room with a copper plate, she was used to being a maid in the past, and she was no longer familiar with what a maid should do.

Wet the towel, wring it out and holding it in his hand, Xiao Tao walked to the bed, and unexpectedly found that the person inside had gotten up, he was wearing a white dress, leaning on the side of the bed and holding a book, his face was a little pale, he looked weak, and it was really as rumored that he was a frail young master.

"Young master, wash your face first, I'm a new maid Xiao Tao, I don't know what the young master likes to eat?" Xiao Tao just glanced at the young master and lowered her head, obediently waiting for the young master's orders.

"I know you're new here, and no one else will come into my house, can you smell the faint smell of medicine?" The young master put down the book in his hand and walked in front of Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao sniffed, and there really seemed to be a faint medicinal fragrance in the air.

"Slaves can smell it."

"Does it smell good?"

"It doesn't smell bad." Xiao Tao replied with a glance.

The man thought it was very interesting, and reached out to grab the pigtail in front of Xiao Tao, but he was really caught, he grabbed it in his hand and played with it for a while, "Your name is Xiao Tao?" The name is so nice, my name is Ning Sumo. Ning Sumo said with a smile.

Xiao Tao didn't like to be touched so closely, she took a step back, and her braid ran through Ning Sumo's palm.

"Young Master, please respect yourself." Xiao Tao lowered her head, and her tone was slightly heavy.

"Ahem." Ning Sumo coughed suddenly, holding on to the table and coughing constantly, as if he wanted to cough out all his internal organs.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Tao was startled, and hurriedly went up and followed the young master's back, hoping that the young master would not have an accident.

People's hearts are not made of iron, and when they see others in a vulnerable position, they naturally want to help.

Ning Sumo coughed for a long time, even when Xiao Tao fed him water to drink, he couldn't stop coughing, and his clothes were a lot wet, but he was very happy, and his face was a lot ruddy.

"It's the first time anyone cares about me." Ning Su Mo coughed and spoke, the joy on his face was not hidden at all, his smile was as clear and pure as a child, and nothing else was mixed in.

Xiao Tao couldn't help but sigh, the old man of the Ning family gave birth to such a good son, it's a pity......

Thinking of what will happen in the future, Xiao Tao's face is full of sadness, this young master is a good person, but the fate of Ning Mansion will not change, there is a debtor who is wronged, and he must pay it back if he owes others.

Ning Sumo took in the expression on her face, and he suddenly coughed again, his face flushed.

Xiao Tao hurriedly went up and patted him on the back, feeling distressed.

Suddenly, Ning Sumo grabbed Xiao Tao's hand.

Xiao Tao looked at Ning Sumo's eyes, and accidentally fell into a pair of gentle eyes, his eyes were as clear as spring water.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Tao asked curiously.

"Get me out of here." Ning Sumo suddenly said, "Shall we leave here together?" He looked up at Xiao Tao's face, his expression was very serious.

Xiao Tao shook in place, she didn't expect the young master of the Su family to have such a thought, this is simply ...... It's just wonderful.

"But how are we supposed to leave?" There are all guards outside the door, and this Beiyuan is still in the inner courtyard of Ning Mansion, and it is difficult to get out.

"As long as you promise to stay with me in the future, I will take you out of here." Ning Sumo said very confidently.

"Okay, I promise you." Xiao Tao seemed to grasp the straw that saved her life, and she didn't have time to think about anything, so she just agreed and said that the opportunity should not be lost and never come again.

At night, when the bright moon was hanging high, Ning Sumo stuffed all the valuable things in the yard into his bag and handed them to Xiao Tao, he took Xiao Tao's hand and quietly slipped under a peach tree.

There are many broken stones and weeds under the peach tree, most of the stones are the size of a fist, and the weeds are very high, Ning Sumo moved the stones away one by one, and a wooden board appeared in front of him, and when he opened the wooden plank, it was pitch black inside, and it was a black hole.

Ning Sumo jumped in first, he stretched out his hand, "Come, give me your hand, let's leave here together." ”

Xiao Tao put her hand on Ning Sumo's palm, and she felt a strong force, which was not like the strength that a weak and sick person should have.

The cave is one meter deep, and there is only one direction, and I don't know where it leads.

Ning Sumo found grass and put it on the wooden board, pushed the wooden board to the top again, he dug other soil to block the entrance of the cave, and then lit the torch that had already been placed in the hole.

With the bright light, the two of them walked out hand in hand, this hole has only one direction, and they won't get lost at all, but Ning Sumo stubbornly took Xiao Tao's hand.

This tunnel is very long, and it is two meters high, the more Xiao Tao walks inside, the more surprised she becomes, she can't imagine how long it took for a weak person like Ning Sumo to dig such a tunnel.
