Hearing a familiar voice, Hua Huaiyuan's body stiffened and he turned around to look at the person behind him.

When he saw that familiar face, his eyes turned cold. Didn't the person he sent out say that he was dead? Why was he still alive?

Xiao Juzhu took off his cape and hood and smiled gently, "Why does uncle look like he has seen a ghost? Did he do something wrong?"

Hua Huaiyuan's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he said coldly: "Are you coming to me to avenge the Xiao family?"

Xiao Juzhu smiled and shook his head, saying harmlessly, "Uncle, you misunderstood. I just came to see you. As for the extermination of the Xiao family, it was not you who did it, so why should I seek revenge on you?"

Hua Huaiyuan frowned, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, even though it was not him who wiped out the Xiao family.

But it was also related to him, and he didn't believe that Xiao Juzhu didn't know this.

Putting away his thoughts, Hua Huaiyuan said in a deep voice: "If you are not here to seek revenge from me, then why are you here to find me?"

Xiao Juzhu walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, handed it to him and said, "I came here to make a deal with my uncle."

Hua Huaiyuan snorted coldly and said, "I have no interest in making a deal with you. If you don't want to die, get out of here."

Xiao Juzhu was not angry at all. He drank the tea in one gulp, played with the teacup and said, "After not seeing you for many years, my uncle has really changed a lot. Now he is too lazy to even put on a show."

After saying that, he looked up and met his eyes, and said with a smile: "I just don't know if uncle still remembers your old friend."

An old friend?

Hua Huaiyuan frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What old friend?"

Xiao Juzhu curled his lips and slowly said a name that made Hua Huaiyuan's face change drastically.

"Hua Huaijin!"

When Hua Huaiyuan heard the name, he froze in place. After a moment, he rushed forward and grabbed Xiao Juzhu's clothes on his chest, and said in a cold voice: "Do you know where he is?!"

You know, he had been looking for Hua Huaijin for almost ten years, and he seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

He thought Hua Huaijin was dead, but after all the effort he made, he found out that he was hidden by Xiao Juzhu.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Juzhu couldn't help laughing out loud: "Uncle, you scared me. You know I've always been timid."

Hua Huaiyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously. He knew what Xiao Juzhu meant. He suppressed his anger and let go of him, saying in a deep voice:

"What do you want me to do to hand him over?"

Xiao Juzhu adjusted the clothes on his chest and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be anxious. Just listen to me and see if you are interested in the deal I'm talking about."

Hua Huaiyuan's eyes were frighteningly cold: "Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me."

Xiao Juzhu didn't keep the suspense and told him the purpose of coming here tonight.

In fact, he didn't want to appear in front of Hua Huaiyuan so early, but he found that Hua Shu and Chu Hengzhi were too close, which was far beyond his plan.

That's why he took the risk of mentioning meeting Hua Huaiyuan, and in a disguised way he brought up the plan.

Hua Huaiyuan didn't come back to his senses for a long time after hearing his words. After a long time, he asked: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Xiao Juzhu smiled and said, "Since I said it, I will do it."

After saying that, he glanced at the hazy sky outside the window and said, "It's almost dawn, I won't bother you anymore, uncle. You can think about it slowly."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out. Suddenly remembering something, he stopped and looked back at Hua Huaiyuan.

"By the way, uncle, I hope you won't tell aunt about my visit today. By the way, I wish you and aunt a happy wedding."

After saying that, he smiled, pushed the door open and walked out, tiptoeing lightly and disappearing into the yard.

Hua Huaiyuan looked at the direction where he disappeared, his eyes were frighteningly cold. After finding out where Hua Huaijin was hiding, he would definitely kill this ignorant guy with his own hands.

……

The next day.

Hua Shu hadn't woken up yet when Cai Yue pushed the door open and walked in. She came to the side of the chaise longue and whispered, "Master, are you awake?"

Hua Shu frowned slightly, but did not open her eyes. She rubbed her temple and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's morning." Caiyue said, and couldn't help but say, "Master, I heard the news that Concubine Hui was not sent to the cold palace, but was demoted to Concubine Hui, moved out of Chenghuan Palace, and confined for three months."

Hua Shu had expected this result. She sat up and asked, "Where is Concubine Yi?"

Caiyue smiled: "Princess Yi was executed last night."

Hearing this, Hua Shu smiled and shook her head, saying, "Caiyue, you are still too naive. How could she die so easily?"

There was a trace of confusion on Caiyue's face. The emperor personally ordered the execution of Concubine Yi and asked He Zhong to watch the execution in person. Who could save her?

Hua Shu saw through her thoughts at a glance. She chuckled and said, "As long as you are determined to save someone, there will always be a way."

Caiyue nodded as if she understood, then she thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Master, you know that I am the one arranged by the master to be by your side, but you still let me participate in this plan. Aren't you afraid that I will betray you?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Hua Shu cautiously. Although she had told her everything before, no one else would use her.

Because no matter what, she was a spy arranged by others, but she didn't understand why Hua Shu would still use her.

Hua Shu listened to her words and changed his posture and said, "Don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ. Since I have decided to trust you, how can I doubt you?"

In fact, she lied. When she first asked Caiyue to participate in this plan, she had already made preparations for both scenarios.

If Caiyue betrayed her in the end, her fate would be even worse than Yi's.

But fortunately, her bet was right and Caiyue did not betray her.

Caiyue's eyes turned red after hearing her words. She knelt in front of Huashu and said, "Miss, I was sorry for you before. I will never do anything to let you down again in the future."

Hua Huaiyuan picked her up and took her in as the head of the family and raised her for more than ten years. She had done so much for him over the years and she had finally repaid him. From now on, Hua Shu would be her only master.

Hua Shu stepped forward, helped her up and said, "I believe you."

Although she didn't really believe in Caiyue, she was still willing to give her another chance. At least she didn't betray her this time.

Caiyue helped her sit on the chaise longue, and suddenly thought of something, her face a little serious, she said: "Master, actually, I know something about Auntie, but I don't know whether I should tell you."

Hearing this, Hua Shu's eyes narrowed, and he turned to look at her and said, "Whatever you know, just tell me."

Caiyue sorted out her words and said, "Master, in fact, you and the young master are not the master's children."

Hua Shu tightened his hands in his sleeves, looked at her solemnly, and asked, "So, you also know who my biological father is."
