The maid's road to success

Chen Luoxi was standing in front of the table and could hardly stand when she heard Zhushan's words.

Zhushan quickly walked to the front and supported Chen Luoxi.

"Sir, the girl is most likely living in Chunyuan. Should we take people there now?"

Chen Luoxi shook his head.

"No, this will scare him. Call Zhuhai, and let's go alone. Don't let her find out first."

Zhushan nodded and went downstairs to arrange the cleanup.

Chen Luoxi opened the drawer and took out a small portrait. He touched the eyebrows and eyes of the person in the painting, and his heart was filled with endless longing.

"Niang Wen, I don't want to be separated from you anymore. When I find you, are you willing to marry me?"

Zhushan prepared a fast horse and took Zhuhai with him, changing into ordinary clothes.

"Zhushan, go find An Yun and ask for some disguise drugs."

Zhushan gave the clothes to Chen Luoxi and went to find An Yun.

The three men changed their appearance before riding on their horses.

"Sir, they have people watching around the courtyard, and there are also quite a few monks who know martial arts."

Chen Luoxi stood in the distance, while Zhu Hai went ahead to check.

“Why are there monks?”

Zhu Hai shook his head.

"I don't know. It looks like they are staying here for a short stay. There are quite a lot of people here, as big as a small temple. Now we want to snatch the girl away first, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to succeed."

Zhushan slapped him on the hand.

"Who said we were going to rob the girl?"

Zhuhai gritted his teeth and looked at Zhushan.

"Why are you here if you don't want to grab a girl? We've come all this way just to find a girl to take back."

Zhushan looked at Zhuhai with disappointment.

“What happens after the girl is snatched back?

Zhuhai was confused. Yes, what should we do after we take it back?

The girl seems to have a gentle personality, speaks kindly, and is always attentive to the people around her.

But there is one thing: I am very stubborn and will not change my mind once I make up my mind.

Otherwise, he would not have fled with the prince for a little favor, allowing him to take his brother's name and return to Kyoto.

This is actually a road that goes all the way to the end.

At first, her plan was to give the master a legitimate identity, watch him get married and have children, and continue the family line.

But the master refused to remain in hiding and watched his enemy become rich and powerful, and was determined to take revenge.

The girl risked her life again to accompany him.

It was not until the great revenge was achieved and the ancestors returned from exile that the Chen family rose again.

Then let go.

Many people did not understand when they learned the truth.

Just for the kindness I received when I was a maid, I paid so much? It took so long?

But this is the girl's character. Once she has made up her mind, she will never give up.

Since the girl has decided to leave, she is definitely not just pretending to leave.

That means I really don't intend to have any entanglement with the master.

They rashly went in and took the girl away, what happened next?

I am afraid that the gap between the girl and the master will become deeper and deeper, and they can no longer be husband and wife but instead become a couple of resentment.

"Then what do you think we should do? If we don't take the girl with us, we will alert her and let her know that we have tracked her whereabouts. What if she runs away again?"

Zhuhai also admired the girl. It was really hard to chase her all the way. The girl usually looked gentle and kind. If you calculate it, their group of people ran across half of Chen Country.

"I just want to see her."

Chen Luoxi looked in the direction of Chunyuan and said this weakly. In fact, he didn't know what to do.

He also wanted to do as Zhu Hai said, rush over and take her away.

Never ask her to leave again.

But reason told him that he couldn't do this, so he couldn't let Wen Niang discover him.

But I really want to see her.

Check if she is okay, tired or injured.

Have you ever thought of yourself?

"Let's go. There's nowhere to hide nearby. Let's stay in the mountains until dark. I'll take you into the yard."

Zhushan asked worriedly, looking in the direction of Chunyuan.

"Didn't you say there are a lot of monks next door? What if we are discovered?"

Zhuhai controlled himself from knocking Zhushan on the head impulsively and said proudly.

"I am the best martial artist in the Black Hawk. You think everyone is the same as you. Instead of practicing martial arts, they like to play tricks."

"There are so many monks in that group. It would be troublesome to rob them openly. I can secretly look at the girl. I am not afraid that they will find out. They are just ordinary monks, not top masters."

Zhushan glanced at him. Zhuhai didn't dare to show off anymore and didn't bother with him.

As long as the young master can feel better, he will be pampered and asked to take him to Chunyuan.

"Okay, let's go around the mountain."

Chen Luoxi and the other two went around the side and climbed the mountain, looking in the direction of Chunyuan.

When it got dark, Zhuhai took off his outer coat and put on his nightgown, leading the way.

Chen Luoxi followed closely behind and carefully came to Chunyuan.

Zhuhai stopped and pointed downwards, indicating that they had arrived.

Then he quietly lifted two tiles and looked inside.

Wen Niang and Bi He had their hair loose, wore simple long jackets and cotton pants, and sat on the bed reading.

Bihe couldn't concentrate on reading, so she put the book down and looked at Wen Niang.

"Niang Wen, the Duke of the Protectorate will come sooner or later. Are we really going to stay here?"

Wen Niang didn't even raise her eyelids and just hummed.

"Don't look at me anymore. I can't calm down. Please talk to me."

Wen Niang put down the book and pulled out a small bamboo basket from the side, which contained peanuts and rice candy that they had fried in their spare time.

"Niang Wen, if the Duke of the Protectorate comes looking for you, what will you do?"

Wen Niang leaned against the small square table with a calm expression.

"It's okay. Chen Luoxi won't force me. He is a rational person who knows what he can and cannot do."

Chen Luoxi was lying on the roof and gave a wry smile when she heard this. She really knew herself well enough.

That's why they are so fearless and unscrupulous in doing these heart-wrenching things.

"How do you know? I thought the Protector of the Country was okay before, but now he's getting more and more terrible."

Wen Niang thought about that incident and then spoke slowly.

"Remember Princess Baozhu? She was also an enemy of the Chen family. The eldest princess also took the opportunity to step on her and get benefits when the Marquis's Mansion was in trouble."

Bihe nodded.

"In order to take revenge, he quickly found himself an identity that would allow him to get in touch with those people. Even if Chen Luoxi and Princess Baozhu were to get married, he would be able to suppress the hatred in his heart and maintain the surface peace."

Except for the night when the marriage decree came down, I was crazy about contacting her. But nothing really happened.

"It's indeed cruel, but how can you be sure that he won't take you away by force? Since he knows what he wants, he will definitely not let you go just like that."

Wen Niang shook her head and looked at Bihe and said.

"What do you think will happen to me if someone forces me? Or who can force me to change my mind once I've made it up?"

Bihe shook her head and said firmly no.

Bihe lived and ate with Wen Niang during those years in Fushou Hall, and she actually knew her quite well. This girl didn't seem to be competitive.

Always be kind to everyone.

But he was stubborn at heart. In order to have his own home in Kyoto, he never spent the monthly salary and rewards he received for several years, but saved them all the time until he bought the yard in Xiaohe Alley.

During this period, no matter how many people advised her not to sell the house, after she got married and lived in her husband's family, the house would be given as a dowry to her husband's family and become the property of her husband's family.

But she was still determined to save money and buy a house.

Because the Eighth Miss's affair had freed her from slavery, she served her wholeheartedly and remembered the kindness shown by the masters in the mansion.

He kept thinking about it, and for this reason, a half-grown child escaped with the Duke of Protector of the Country and never gave up.

These are all things she has decided on, and she will work hard to complete them.

Wen Niang didn't plan to never return to Kyoto, but she was waiting. When Chen Luoxi got married, maybe they would go back to take a look.

"But the Protector of the Country is so devoted and has been looking for you all the time, so why don't you feel soft-hearted? Do you also have the Protector of the Country in your heart?"

Chen Luoxi was on the roof and almost held his breath when he heard this, but he did not wait for Wen Niang's answer.

"Bihe, we are not suitable. The class barrier is not so easy to eliminate. I am lazy and don't like to interact with people. Even if we are together, we can't last long. He is the head of the family and has to bear the burden of the Chen family."

"But that's exactly what I can't bear. I don't want to be bound to the inner house, waiting for my husband to come back every day, guarding against other women with ulterior motives, and being around people who are thinking about getting benefits from you every day. That's not the life I want."

"I don't want to live a life without a future."

Chen Luoxi felt like his heart was suffocating and the pain was unbearable.

"But Wen Niang, you have to get married eventually, you can't always think so much."

Wen Niang held her face and thought about it carefully.

"I want a down-to-earth and warm husband who can discuss things with me, and a sensible mother-in-law who can be kind to me. I can help her make money and live a peaceful and safe life without flattery and fear."

Bihe curled her lips.

“These requirements are not easy at all.”

Chen Luoxi listened to it and kept it in mind.

It’s good to have demands and goals, but I’m afraid that Wen Niang will never accept me no matter what, and that would be the most painful.

Zhu Hai keenly noticed that a monk had left the room, and immediately reminded Chen Luoxi to leave. He felt relieved only after they safely reached the distant mountain.

Zhushan was already getting very anxious, fearing that the bamboo sea was not secure and would be discovered by the monks, causing trouble for the young master.

"Sir, what's going on?"

Chen Luoxi didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

Wen Niang clearly had him in her heart, but because of the difference in their status, she almost eliminated the possibility of being with him.

But Chen Luoxi felt that he could give Wen Niang the life she wanted. In his heart, Wen Niang was more important than his own life. He would not force Wen Niang and would always get her consent before doing anything.

The mother will treat Wen Niang well because she thinks of her companionship and help over the years.

Not to mention the old ancestor. Although he always wanted a capable relative to help him, he treated Wen Niang as his granddaughter in his heart.

"I do not know either."

Seeing the dejected looks of Chen Luoxi and Zhuhai, Zhushan didn't dare to ask more questions and waited for a while before speaking.

"So should we stay here or go back first?"

Chen Luoxi glanced at Chunyuan.

"Go back, and when we move back to Yuzhou City, let that person take the inspection team away."

Zhushan nodded, he understood what Chen Luoxi meant.

They planned to stay here and find a way to make the girl return to Kyoto willingly.

"I will go back and find out where the young lady lives in the city and buy a yard there."

Chen Luoxi nodded, and finally suppressed the longing in her heart and returned to her residence.

This heartless person lives a very comfortable life and has not lost any weight at all.

He had been worrying for too long, he couldn't eat or sleep, he looked haggard and couldn't drink much, and he no longer had the handsome and dashing figure he had before. He didn't know if Wen Niang would dislike him when she saw him like this.

After returning to the residence, An Yun knew that they were going to see Wen Niang by themselves, and he kept pacing around the house anxiously.

"Okay, you guys go see Wen Niang but you don't take me with you. Why? I want to see Wen Niang too."

Zhushan saw that Chen Luoxi had no interest in talking, so he quickly went up to explain.

"We went there secretly, and we didn't dare let the girl find us. Besides, there was a warrior monk with her. If you went there, you would be discovered immediately. Isn't that a bad thing?"

An Yun curled his lips and sat on the stool unhappily.

"So what do you think Wen Niang is going to do? Just take her away with you. She won't regret it now that the matter has been settled."

Zhushan felt tired when he saw that An Yun was as brainless as Zhuhai.

"Don't make trouble, auntie. Do you want the girl to hate you to death?"

Thinking that he still needed An Yun's help, he patiently coaxed An Yun.

"Sir, you plan to use a roundabout tactic and take it step by step. First, get close to the girl, and then try to win her heart. It would be best if the girl is willing to accept you."

An Yun was not convinced.

"If we act like this, Wen Niang will have to stay away from us once she sees us... OK, do you want to disguise yourself and contact Wen Niang with another identity?"

Zhushan nodded, finally getting the idea.

"I never thought that if Wen Niang could change into someone else's appearance, then we can too. I have improved the prescription and I guarantee that after using the medicine, your face will be completely changed and no one will be able to tell."

"The ones that Wen Niang and the others use are at least somewhat similar to the real person, but mine can turn into another person. My brother even made a pill that can change the voice, I will get them later."

Zhushan breathed a sigh of relief. He finally wised up and knew what they wanted to do.

"Let's disguise ourselves as a family. Zhushan and Zhuhai are an old couple, I'm the younger sister, and Chen Luoxi is the older brother. How do you think?"

When Zhushan and Zhuhai heard An Yun's arrangement, they widened their eyes and looked at each other, saying no.

Chen Luoxi was in no mood to watch their fooling around. She had been thinking about how to get close to Wen Niang without arousing suspicion, and how to warm her heart little by little.

Let her see that I can also be the kind of husband she wants, and I can give her the life she wants.

There must be some way.

The second house here was very busy, and Chen Luoxi was busy figuring out what to do next.

In the side room, the prince of Yong'an listened to what the people below said with a wry smile on his face.

"The Duke of the Protectorate even created the Umbrella of the People for that woman. I'm afraid my father's plan for me to enter the Six Ministries smoothly with my merits in disaster relief will be in vain this time."

The manager nearby came over and said.

"Do you want me to find a way to destroy the Umbrella of All Citizens?"

The Prince of Yong'an shook his head.

"Don't do this kind of thing. If you anger the Protector of the Country, neither you nor I will suffer any consequences."

The manager looked unconvinced.

"What should we do? We have put so much effort into getting the prince into the six ministries, but now all the credit has gone to that woman. We have lost more than we gained."

The Prince of Yong'an patted him on the shoulder.

"You are just too impatient. Although you cannot enter the Six Ministries this time, since the Protector of the Country has taken away my credit, you must accept my popularity and return it to me sooner or later."

"By then, I can still get what I want, and I can also get along well with the Duke of the Protectorate, which is the most profitable. The court is now in favor of the Duke of the Protectorate, and they are too favored now. It would be better if we sell one of them. Do you understand that there are only benefits?"

The steward suddenly understood and nodded.

Not only will they not prevent the Umbrella of the People from entering Kyoto, they will also vigorously promote it and help the Duke of Protector of the Country achieve his goal.

Now that I have given up so many benefits, I must hold on to this favor completely.
