This pepper is the one she asked Xiao Er for just now, and then sprinkled it all in the veil while he was not paying attention, in order to buy herself time at a critical time.

Last night, she was sympathetic for a while, patronizing and saving people, and completely missed a key information: this Ninth Master has been avoiding people since she saw them.

At that time, she had just come here, and her whole mind was groggy and she didn't think about it. It wasn't until the person named He Lin came to pass the word that she understood that this Ninth Master didn't see anyone because of his illness and didn't want people to know.

Unfortunately, last night she rashly bumped into his ill appearance and stabbed him twice, which exposed the fact that she already knew his physical condition.

Therefore, the choice just now was not only to ask her if she was willing to return to Beijing, but also to ask her whether she chose to return to Beijing and live under their noses or choose to die here, so that this secret would sleep forever.

With her current skills, if she refuses, whether it is the guard named He Lin at the door or the mysterious man named Jiuye, she can kill herself. But what made her strange was that just when she was about to give it a go, that Ninth Master actually let herself go!

Could it really be related to his father? If so, then I really have to thank him! Xiao Yiran sneered.

In the next room, He Lin closed the door carefully, walked to the ninth master's side and frowned and asked, "Master, do you want to go down and solve that girl?" ”

The Ninth Master took a slow sip of tea, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the teacup that Xiao Yiran had drunk, and chuckled: "Didn't you hear what she just said?" ”

"So what? The unfavored daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion. ”

"An unfavored concubine?" Jiu Ye chewed playfully for a moment, and said, "A person who has lived in the suburbs since he was a child actually understands medicine and tea ceremony? It's so much fun! ”

He Lin frowned: "This is indeed very suspicious, and my subordinates can't figure it out." Master, do you want someone to investigate?"

"There's no need."

"This ......" He Lin looked confused.

The Ninth Master glanced at him and asked, "Have you forgotten her other identity?" ”

"The fiancée of the fourth prince Baili Zhan!"

Seeing He Lin's pupils glaring slightly, Jiu Ye smiled slightly: "The day before yesterday, I received news that Baili Zhan will hold a weak crown ceremony in a month, and Concubine Zheng intends to marry him." ”

"But the last time my subordinates returned to Beijing, I noticed that the four princes seemed to be closer to the eldest lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion." He Lin hesitated for a moment, but still said his thoughts: "With Xiao Laogou's virtue, I'm afraid this marriage is about to change hands." ”

"Hmm! If they are going to change hands, then what are they going to do?"

He Lin suddenly realized, yes, judging from the current situation, without their help, this Miss Yan of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion may have already become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of many people.

"That's my own daughter." He Lin was still a little incredulous, although Xiao Zhiyuan, the loyal and brave marquis, was hypocritical and cunning, but after all, tiger poison does not eat children!

"Affection? What is it in the face of power? The expression on the Ninth Master's face faded, and it was difficult to hide the sarcasm in his eyes.

He Lin looked at him with a look of disdain, and didn't know what he thought, so he immediately lowered his head and became silent.

The Ninth Master got up, walked to the window and asked, "Where is Bailiche now?"

"The Thirteen Princes went out early in the morning."

"Call him back and leave for Beijing in a moment." He commanded lightly.

"Yes!"

After He Lin went out, Jiu Ye quietly looked at the street outside by the window for a while, and after half a sound, he murmured softly: "It's a pity......

After Xiao Yiran came out of the next door, he immediately cleaned up and left the inn. Judging from the current situation, it is better to leave early, what if that man suddenly repents and kills her again?

Walking to the mouth of the alley last night, she saw a lot of people around there talking about it, some women blushed and lowered their heads, whispering to the people next to them.

It looks like those two people were found yesterday. Xiao Yiran hooked his lips and smiled, and walked out of the city gate without hurrying.

On the way, she could still hear gossip or two: "Hey! Have you heard? Those two people are well-known gangsters in the city, and they often do those things that steal chickens and dogs, and this time they really have eyes! ”

"Don't say it! I've heard that the two of them put on their clothes and kept clamoring that someone had stolen their money! said that he was going to report to the official, but in the end the official came and arrested them, don't you think it's funny? ”

A burst of laughter went away, Xiao Yiran laughed, walked to the city gate and went out of the city after being inspected.

Those two thugs were arrested last night, but there are still two people who have been trying her to get rid of them without being punished!

In order to prevent her from being an ominous person who harmed the Hou Mansion, the people of the Hou Mansion of Zhongyong also worked hard, not only sent two people to monitor her, but also chose her residence in the suburbs far away from the county seat.

Xiao Yiran walked for a long time before she came to the dilapidated thatched house in her memory, she stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the unchanged scene around her, her eyes were cold, and her heart was cold, her death did not seem to have affected the couple at all.

At this time, a middle-aged woman with a fat body and sallow skin walked out of the house with a basin of clothes in her arms, and when she saw Xiao Yiran standing outside the courtyard, she suddenly broke out with a scream like killing a pig, and the wooden basin in her hand fell in response.

"Hell!"

"What the hell?" A hoarse and muddy male voice came from inside the house, Li Mazi stepped out of the threshold, and muttered impatiently in his mouth: "Startled ......" But when he saw the people in the yard, his words suddenly blocked his throat, and the muscles on his face couldn't help twitching, and he trembled: "You, aren't you dead?" ”

Mrs. Wang immediately hid behind him, but Li Mazi's thin and rickety body couldn't cover her fat and wide body at all, although she kept shrinking back, most of her body was still exposed.

She poked her head out and said in a trembling voice, "You, are you a human or a ghost?" ”

"Aren't you dead? Don't, don't come to me, you hit yourself headfirst in the tree, it's none of my business. ”

Xiao Yiran looked coldly at the two couples who were hugging each other, and he was extremely disdainful in his heart. She had never seen these two men look like this in her memory.

In the past, they always looked arrogant and domineering in front of her, Mrs. Wang's endless abuse and scolding of her, Li Mazi's salty pig hands and inadvertent lewd eyes, these constituted all her previous life.

Xiao Yiran felt that her chest was filled with a depressed qi, and the whole person trembled uncontrollably, she knew that this was the subconscious reaction of this body.

Taking two steps forward, Xiao Yiran sneered and said, "Of course I'm human." ”

"People, people?" Li Mazi and Mrs. Wang stopped moving, looked at each other for a while, and then turned their eyes to Xiao Yiran. The girl stood there prettyly, and the shadow on the ground was very clear.

If there is a shadow, that is a person.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Wang came out from behind Li Mazi, and said with palpitations: "It turned out to be a human." ”

Immediately, she reacted, and her face immediately changed to a vicious expression, and she cursed viciously: "Dead girl! Didn't pretend to be dead! I want to scare my mother to death! Sure enough, you can't die like this! ”

Unlike Wang Pozi's disgust, Li Mazi was very happy to see that Xiao Yiran was not dead, and persuaded when he heard the words: "It's good that you are not dead!" Xiao Ran has always been diligent and capable, you see that there is no her at home, and no one will wash your clothes for you. ”

Hearing Li Mazi's name for himself, Xiao Yiran suddenly felt a chill. She remembered that before the age of ten, Li Mazi also screamed at herself like Mrs. Wang, who was a dead girl and lost money, but as he grew older, he became more and more attentive to himself, not only occasionally speaking for himself, but also secretly stuffing some food for her.

Just when the original owner thought that he had finally moved Li Mazi, this ugly and shriveled man actually took advantage of her bath to peek, and in the days that followed, she not only had to endure the beating and scolding of Wang Pozi's daughter-in-law, but also had to be vigilant against Li Mazi's shameless harassment anytime and anywhere.
