After walking a distance, Gu Yanbai reached out to help her sort out her clothes, and took the opportunity to inadvertently put his head to her ear.

"Someone has sneaked into the house with us, don't startle the snake."

After speaking, he withdrew his hand, his face was calm, if it wasn't for Mingyuexi hearing it with her own ears, she would really think that it hadn't happened.

A trace of mourning in Mingyuexi's heart was quickly replaced by nervousness because of this news, and she always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the dark, which made her uncomfortable.

Thinking that this person should also come because of the housekeeper's business, she wanted to take out the account book immediately, but now she can only put it on hold for the time being, and wait a while.

She tried to behave as much as she normally would, doing whatever she had to do throughout the day, without revealing any flaws, and there was no movement from the people hiding in the shadows.

At night, when it was almost time to go to bed, Mingyuexi didn't blow out the candle for a long time, firstly because today's assassination made her a little frightened, and secondly, she knew that someone was plotting against her, so how could she sleep?

Just when she was sitting at the table and struggling, the door was suddenly knocked on, and she was shocked, and she heard Gu Yanbai's warm voice: "Xiaoxi." ”

Mingyuexi breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and opened the door, and saw Gu Yanbai looking at her as usual, just blinking her eyes twice quickly, taking her hand, and walking outside with her.

There was no light everywhere in the Hou Mansion, and the people were all asleep, although she was walking in the dark night, feeling the warmth of Gu Yanbai's palm, her heart was stable, even if there was a danger around her, she was not so panicked.

Gu Yanbai will definitely protect her, this is something she has never doubted.

From the first time they met, Gu Yanbai had been standing in front of her, until now she didn't have to use merit points anymore, and she could keep him by her side, they had experienced too much, and these things tied their hearts tightly together and were inseparable.

The two walked into the basement all the way, Gu Yanbai tightened her hand, and the two of them turned around in the underground passage, and quickly got rid of the people who followed them.

By the time the man realized that something was wrong, he was already surrounded by dark guards, and in this narrow and narrow passage, he was already unable to fly.

Gu Yanbai held a torch in his hand and walked out with Mingyuexi, illuminating the surroundings, so that the man in black had nowhere to hide.

"Who sent you?" Gu Yanbai's voice was cold, and he asked without a trace of emotion, "Tell me honestly, I can still spare your life." ”

However, the man in black didn't seem to be afraid at all, and looked at him gloomily: "It's worthy of Gu Yanbai, you have discovered this!" It's just that you can't decide my life. ”

After speaking, his throat moved, Gu Yanbai realized that something was wrong, and immediately rushed forward to stop him, reaching out to remove his chin, but in just a moment, this person was out of breath and committed suicide by taking poison.

Gu Yanbai frowned and stared at the corpse for a long time before he spoke: "Take it down and deal with it." ”

There was silence in the dark passage, Xu is life and death have seen a lot recently, thinking that this person might be the perpetrator, Mingyuexi looked at his corpse, there was no trace of pity in his heart, but he was thinking about the account book.

After luring people out, the two returned to the courtyard again, the night was long and dreamy, Mingyuexi always felt that the other party would not stop there, one died, and there would only be more after that, and she couldn't drag it out any longer.

Ignoring that it was late at night, she directly summoned the land lord, and bothered him to run away again, and went to the bookkeeper's room to retrieve the account book.

Looking at the account book, Ming Yuexi suddenly thought that maybe Mr. Bookkeeper had already known his fate, otherwise why would he keep a hand?

Putting aside the complicated emotions in her heart, Ming Yuexi looked at the heavy night, and only felt that the account book in her hand was even heavier.

The next day, the sun rose as usual, and the people in the house began to get busy, and after Mrs. Gu had breakfast, an uninvited guest came to her courtyard.

The female shopkeeper of the cloth village walked into the courtyard tremblingly, looked at the people around her, kept burying her head lower, and her face was gray.

She didn't want to come to this place, but ......

Thinking of the sword that Shen Mengyi put around her neck, she had no way out, and it was just a dead end in the future.

Old Madam Gu couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard that the shopkeeper asked to see her, but she still let her in.

The shopkeeper walked in the door, and as soon as he saw Mrs. Gu, he immediately knelt down and fell to the ground, his forehead against the ground, trembling all over his body and couldn't stop, and he spoke with a cry: "Old Madam Gu, I'...... I am turning myself in today. ”

Early in the morning, Mrs. Gu was startled by her, and her face was a little unpleasant, "I'll listen, just say it." ”

"Old lady, the young lady is right, the silver in the store was taken away by Steward Wang, the reason why I didn't say it was because ...... It's because ......"

She didn't have the face to say it, so she simply closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and said: "It's the housekeeper who threatens me, he forced me not to let me say it, and he plotted against me, old lady, I ......"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

A loud shout came from the door, and the shopkeeper, who was kneeling on the ground in fright, shuddered, looked up at the door, and saw the steward with a gloomy face looking at her as if he were looking at a dead man.

When he learned that the shopkeeper was coming, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurried over, just in time to hear that she had told her everything, and wanted to throw himself clean.

The old lady Gu already knew about it, and the housekeeper no longer hid it, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he strode in and kicked the shopkeeper: "In vain, I still spend silver on you, which of your clothes and jewelry are not used for the silver of the Hou Mansion?" After raising it for a long time, it was actually a dog with the owner's back! ”

The shopkeeper was kicked and rolled, screamed and crawled to hide in the corner of the room, not daring to look at anyone.

"Steward Wang, what are you doing!" Old Madam Gu glared at him angrily, reached out and slapped the table heavily, "How can you hit someone at will in front of me?" You ......"

"Hehe, Old Madam Gu still saves some effort to teach me a lesson," the housekeeper, who has always been obedient and steady, actually interrupted the old lady's words today, and looked at her with a sneer, "After listening to this slut's words, the old lady probably already knows the truth of the matter, and there is no need to pretend to be the same as before, in fact, you can't wait to cut me with a thousand knives now, right?" ”

Old Madam Gu never expected that his temperament would change drastically, as if he had changed someone, pointing at him with her fingers, her angry hands were trembling: "You, you get out of here......"

The housekeeper looked at her condescendingly, his eyes were cruel and resolute, and he sneered: "The matter has come to this, does Old Madam Gu think I will still listen to you?" ”
