clap clap clap!

The sound of slaps, one heavier than the last, echoed in the woods late at night.

"Who took away my sister's body?" Murong Li asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Jiang Minghao's hand on his face froze. He looked up at Murong Li and shook his head. "I don't know who they are. They are dressed in black. Their clothes are very strange. They look fierce and evil. The leader is wearing a white mask. There is no pattern on the mask, only a pair of eyes."

Thinking back to that group of people back then, Jiang Minghao still has lingering fears. "Although those people were wearing masks, they exuded a strong murderous aura, especially the leader. I will never forget his eyes in my life, but he seemed..."

"What?" Ting Feng asked anxiously when he saw that he didn't speak for a long time.

"He treated Her Royal Highness the Princess very differently. When his men found me, they were planning to kill me. But when the leader saw the offerings I was carrying, he let me go. He said Yun'er liked peach blossom pastry the most, and people who were not close to her would not know that. So, he spared my life."

At this point, Jiang Minghao thought of something particularly important, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "By the way, he also asked me at that time, is the child still alive?"

After hearing this, Murong Li became more curious about this mysterious man. Could he be Jiang Si's father?

This thought had just popped up when it was blocked by Jiang Minghao's words.

"When he talked about that child, his eyes were full of hatred, as if he was talking about someone he had a life-and-death feud with."

"Seeing his expression, I didn't tell him about the child, thinking that the worst that could happen was death. But the man didn't wait for my answer and continued to talk on his own. He said that she was lucky to survive. After saying this, the man carried the princess' body and left."

Jiang Minghao said as he looked at the deep pit beside him, "I rebuilt this grave and the inscriptionless monument later, thinking that I could leave a memory for the young master in the future."

Hearing this, Murong Li raised a mocking smile. This guy is really ridiculous. Is he trying to use such a trivial matter to comfort the guilt in his heart?

"Your Highness, Jiang Minghao failed to protect the princess and later put the young master in an unjust position. I only want to die and hope that Your Highness can let my family go."

Jiang Minghao knelt on the ground and saluted Murong Li respectfully, looking like he was ready to die bravely.

"I will not kill you. My elder sister is kind-hearted. Even if it is just an empty tomb, it is where my elder sister once lived. I do not want to disturb her peace."

After Murong Li finished speaking, he didn't even look at Jiang Minghao. He squatted down and stroked the bare monument without any words on it. His elder sister should have been the most noble princess in the Great Xia Dynasty.

I didn't expect that after my death, there would be only an empty grave, a tombstone without any words, and a guard who was not very loyal guarding the grave.

Ridiculous, really ridiculous.

……

On the other hand, after Jiang Si and the others had finally escaped from the restaurant where they were surrounded by noble ladies, Ye Zhiming attached himself to them and followed them back to the Fan Mansion.

As soon as they entered the yard, several girls followed them. They were the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth girls. By the way, the fourth girl was also there, but she was not looking for Ye Zhiming. She was looking for Jiang Si.

These girls were born a few months before or after each other, and their ages were not much different. They were all almost reaching the age of marriage.

"Why is Cousin Ye here?" The fifth girl couldn't wait to speak as soon as she saw Ye Zhiming.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that my cousin was coming to visit? I should prepare some snacks that he would like." The Sixth Girl bowed to Jiang Si and Fan Tong first, then looked at Ye Zhiming with a shy face.

"Cousin Ye is here. I have made the sword tassel you asked me to make last time. Take a look and see if you like it." The seventh girl's heart and eyes were filled with only her cousin Ye.

The protagonist, who was the center of attention, was hiding behind Fan Tong, hugging him tightly and whispering in his ear: "Save me, boss, save me, why do you have so many women in your family?"

Hearing this, Jiang Si spat on the ground, "Scumbag."

"That's right." Zhang Xiaoxi agreed, but tears were streaming down her face. Why was it Poison Fox who dressed up as Ye Zhiming instead of herself?

If you love beauties so much, don’t you want to be a beauty yourself?

He was tired of saying the word "envy". As he thought about it, the tears in his heart gathered into a vast ocean.

Although Fan Tong did not have a deep impression of these sisters, they were his sisters after all. Seeing that they were all severely tortured by the Sea King, he felt a little annoyed.

He pulled his hand out, gnashed his teeth and looked at him and said, "Cousin Ye, you are really capable!"

After saying this, Fan Tong did not forget to push the man in front of his sisters. His eyes clearly warned him that if he didn't handle the situation well, he would break his legs.

"No, Boss, don't do this to me."

Ye Zhiming scratched Fan Tong's sleeves frantically, but the dangerous warning look from his eldest brother forced him to let go.

Soon, he was surrounded by those sisters.

Cousin Ye, Cousin Ye, Cousin Ye...

Three different voices rang in his ears like 3D surround sound, and Ye Zhiming felt like his head was about to explode.

Just when he didn't know how to respond, a petite figure dressed in men's clothes jumped into the encirclement and saved him.

"Oh, sister, your cooking skills are really good. Master Ye will definitely like it, right?"

Zhang Xiaoxi grasped the seventh girl's hand and talked about the sword tassel, but his hand kept rubbing on the girl's hand and he had a nasty smile on his face.

The seventh girl only felt that her eldest brother's new concubine was a little too enthusiastic, and did not realize that she was taking advantage of her. When she heard the compliments, she was so happy that her tail almost stood up in the sky, and she looked at her two sisters provocatively.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoxi rushed to the other two girls and praised them again, praising them equally without leaving anyone out.

Jiang Si watched the farce with interest, and then walked to the lounge chair in the corridor and sat down.

Fan Tong clenched his hands at this moment, wishing he could punch each of them. What kind of teammates were these? One only had eyes for women, while the other avoided women like the plague. They were both troublesome people.

When the fourth lady Fan Pingwan saw Jiang Si coming over and sitting down, she immediately stepped forward and handed over the account book in her hand.

"Sister-in-law, this is the account book I asked the steward of the outer courtyard to copy today. Please take a look and see if there are any problems. If it is okay, then I will do it this way."

Jiang Si was a little surprised. She didn't expect this girl to act so quickly. She had planned to let Hong Zhong finish his business before going to find her tomorrow, but she didn't expect her to act so quickly.

Jiang Si took the account book and opened it. What caught her eye was a row of beautiful handwriting. The account book was neat and tidy, and it was easier to understand than the one that Butler Hong had brought before.

I didn't expect this girl to have this ability. Jiang Si's eyes lit up. She had found a treasure. If she could help her and Hong Zhong get together, this girl wouldn't have to get married. All the housekeeper work would be handed over to her in the future. Great, finally there was something that could make people happy.
