Maybe I shouldn't die.

His face changed immediately after hearing what the servant said. He knew how much importance the masters of the He family attached to the young lady who was said to be practicing Taoism. He immediately pulled the servant into the yard without hesitation.

Inside the yard, the chief steward was talking to a beautiful woman. Judging from the expressions on their faces, they seemed to be having a good chat. The beautiful woman's hand was on the chief steward at the moment.

Seeing someone coming in, the beautiful woman immediately withdrew her hand and glared at the steward with resentment. Her eyes did not seem to show anger, but rather flirting.

The chief steward's expression also changed slightly, and he immediately became serious. Although he was a little unhappy about being disturbed, the person guarding the gate was his confidant, and if there was nothing important, he would not be disturbed at this moment.

Sure enough, the servant took one look at the beautiful woman, then brought the servants to the steward and whispered in his ear the whole story.

After listening to this, a trace of hesitation flashed across the steward's face. He looked at the servant with a sharp gaze and asked him in a stern tone.

"Are you sure that what you said is true? You should know the seriousness of this matter. If I verify that you deliberately framed me, you know the consequences."

The servant lowered his head even deeper, with a ruthless look of death in his eyes, but his tone was full of determination.

"I dare not lie to the steward. I swear that everything I say is true. If I tell a lie, I will not make any progress in martial arts and I will die a miserable death."

After getting a positive answer from the servant, the steward's face immediately became solemn. For a warrior, not making any progress in martial arts is a very vicious oath. Since the servant dared to swear like this, it means that what he said is true.

His thoughts were the same as the servant's. As long as this incident really happened, no matter whether the identity of the person who was driven away was real or fake, it was a big deal. He also hoped it was fake, but he also knew more.

For example, the year when the martial arts conference is opened is also the year when the Ascension Conference is held. There may even be immortals coming here to recruit disciples. If the one who was driven away is really an immortal, then there will be a big problem.

Thinking of this, he didn't care how good the chat with the beautiful woman was before, and immediately pushed the box back on the table. Fortunately, he received the news in time and had not arranged a better job for Zhuzi.

It is not a mistake to just take some money to arrange a good job for the young master and his concubine's relative. The masters will not blame you if they know about it. Even if the relative makes some mistakes in the job, the concubines will clean up the mess.

But this time it’s different. It involves the young lady who went to practice Taoism, and it’s not something an aunt can cover up. Not to mention the aunt, even the second young master will be implicated.

Thinking of this, he looked at the beautiful woman with pity in his eyes. This woman was beautiful, smart, and capable, but it was a pity that she had such a nephew. She would probably fall out of favor in the future.

The He family has no shortage of concubines, let alone an concubine who is a relative and is ignorant and may have offended the immortal. The beautiful woman was frightened by his eyes, and when she saw her push all the silver back, she couldn't help but change her expression slightly.

She went over the whole thing in her mind from beginning to end, making sure that she had done nothing wrong. Everything had been discussed before, and the steward changed his attitude only after these two people came in.

She couldn't help but look at the two men carefully. She was familiar with one of them, as he was the servant who had been guarding the door for the steward before. She didn't know the other one, but she could still recognize the clothes of the servants in the mansion.

Thinking that it was her nephew who was on duty at the gate today, and thinking about the change in the steward's attitude before and after, she couldn't help but have some guesses in her mind, so she didn't care about the steward's pitying eyes, and eagerly pulled him and asked.

"But what did my nephew do wrong? He is still young and doesn't understand much. I will go back and teach him a lesson."

The chief steward just shook his head, shook off the beautiful woman's hand, and had her sent away. It was not that he was cruel, but he did not dare to reveal the matter before telling his master.

What's more, at this moment, he didn't have time to talk to the beautiful woman anymore. He had to report the matter to his master as soon as possible. So after sending the beautiful woman away, he hurried towards the main courtyard with his servants and retainers.

The beautiful woman who was forcibly sent away also realized that what her nephew had done might be serious, but when she thought of the second young master's love for her, she felt more confident and couldn't help thinking resentfully in her heart.

Isn't he just a steward? No matter how well he does, he is just a servant favored by his master. How dare he treat her like this? If she doesn't vent her anger, won't any servant be able to bully her in the future?

So she adjusted her expression, trying to make herself look like she had suffered some great injustice, and then she fainted weakly in the arms of the maid.

Given how much the Second Young Master cares about her, this matter will surely reach his ears soon, and he will inevitably come to comfort her. When the time comes, she will add fuel to the fire and say a few more words, and she is not afraid that the Second Young Master will not be angry.

Sure enough, after she pretended to faint, the maid immediately panicked and hurriedly supported her, shouting in an anxious tone:

"Someone come quickly! Aunt Hua has fainted, go and report to the Second Young Master."

The servants in the He Mansion all knew that Madam Hua was very much favored by the Second Young Master, so naturally no one would neglect her. Immediately, a strong maid picked up Madam Hua and sent her back to the courtyard.

There were also some smart ones who immediately reported the matter to the second young master's yard, but the second young master was not in his yard at the moment, so even though the servants were very anxious, the news did not reach the second young master's ears.

So where is the second young master at this moment? He is being taken by the head of the He family to meet a guest. The visitor is a swordsman from a famous family in the martial arts world, so the head of the He family will naturally not neglect him.

He was visiting the He family with several young masters, and they were entertaining them warmly. This swordsman had heard that there was a young lady in the He family who had gone to cultivate immortality. His ancestors had also started the family in this way, so he naturally knew what a great blessing this was.

So when the steward came in with two servants, the two parties were having a pleasant conversation and were interrupted unexpectedly. The faces of the head of the family and the young masters were not very good.

Seeing the anxious look on the steward's face, Patriarch He still let him into the hall. He said to the swordsman apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Brother Yan Ming, the servants in my family are ignorant."

The swordsman named Yan Ming waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Brother He, you are too polite. Seeing your housekeeper's anxious look, it must be something important. Don't let me delay Brother He's business. That would be my fault."
