I think it won't be difficult to get him to agree to this.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoxi picked up a pen and wrote a letter. The content of the letter was to ask the Seventh Young Master to help take care of Luo Xueyun for a period of time.

Liu Xiaoxi had just put the letter away when there was a creaking sound from outside her door.

She immediately turned back and looked towards the door vigilantly.

Zhou Quanyi, the housekeeper of the Luo Mansion, was standing there with an embarrassed look on his face.

Liu Xiaoxi immediately realized that he had been watching her outside the door.

Liu Xiaoxi's heart suddenly tightened. She quickly hid the letter in her sleeve, but tried to keep a calm expression on her face.

Zhou Quanyi's appearance was like a sudden cold wind, breaking the silence in the room.

Zhou Quanyi's eyes wandered over Liu Xiaoxi, as if he wanted to find out some secret.

He coughed dryly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Madam, the old lady wants to talk to you."

Liu Xiaoxi frowned slightly, and a trace of uneasiness flashed through her heart.

She knew that being called this time might not be a good thing.

But she still pretended to be calm, stood up, gently adjusted her dress, and then slowly walked towards the door.

Every step seemed slightly heavy, as if carrying endless worries.

Zhou Quanyi is Xu Donghua's confidant. No matter whether it is a big or small matter, Xu Donghua will entrust it to Zhou Quanyi.

His presence here at this moment means that it was Xu Donghua who asked him to monitor her.

It wasn't that he was really asked to come and meet Xu Donghua.

He had just accidentally revealed his true identity, and that's why she discovered it.

The more Liu Xiaoxi thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

Yunyun was just playing with other kids of her age, why did Xu Donghua react so strongly?

Now they even sent someone to monitor her...

What exactly is she up to?

No matter what, Liu Xiaoxi would never do this because she was really worried about Yunyun.

Liu Xiaoxi looked at Zhou Quanyi: "Butler Zhou, I wonder what the old lady wants to say by asking me to go?"

Zhou Quan had been so nervous that he was sweating profusely. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He pretended to be calm and said to Liu Xiaoxi, "I don't know why the old lady called you. You will know only when you go."

Liu Xiaoxi nodded slightly: "Yes."

Looking at Zhou Quanyi's nervous and guilty look, she became more certain of what she was thinking in her mind: he was the one sent by Xu Donghua to monitor her.

Liu Xiaoxi guessed that Xu Donghua must have had some intention on Yunyun, otherwise she wouldn't be so emotional this time.

No matter what she wants to do, she will do it to the end.

No one can hurt her Yunyun.

For Luo Xueyun, she can become less soft-hearted and less fragile.

A hint of determination flashed in Liu Xiaoxi's eyes.

After a while, Liu Xiaoxi slowly spoke: "Butler Zhou, you have been standing at the door for a long time, right?"

Zhou Quanyi's heart suddenly trembled: "Ah? Madam, what do you mean?"

Liu Xiaoxi turned around and looked at him: "Butler Zhou, you know what I mean."

"I know you came to monitor me because of mother's order."

"But please don't forget who pays your monthly wages, Steward Zhou."

"Would you rather eat meat with her or with me? You should decide for yourself."

"What my mother can give you, I can double it for you."

"I don't need you to completely surrender to me and become mine."

"I just need you to tell me what she wants to do."

"You should continue to be her confidant, and I will cooperate with you as much as I can."

"It will be beneficial for you to cooperate with me."

"You won't offend either side."

"On the contrary, if you don't agree to me, I can ask you to get out of the Luo family right now."

"Don't forget, who pays your wages? As long as it involves money, I still have the final say in the Luo family."

Zhou Quanyi has a strong desire to survive, and he just wants to make money to support his family in peace and stability. This method of not offending both sides is naturally a great idea.

So he agreed without thinking.

And if she cooperates with Liu Xiaoxi, she will naturally need his money.

Thinking about it this way, he has been working for Xu Donghua for all these years, but not only has he not been paid much, but he has also often exploited his wages.

Zhou Quanyi got angry when he thought of this, but he dared not say anything, otherwise he would have no food to eat.

Zhou Quanyi nodded slightly: "I promised Madam that as long as the old lady wants to do something, I will tell you the first time."

"There is one more thing. I will also remind Madam."

"But Madam, you have to promise me not to get too excited after hearing this."

Liu Xiaoxi: "You tell me, I promise you."

Zhou Quanyi then said, "Madam, you should pay more attention to Miss recently."

"Don't ever leave her alone."

When Liu Xiaoxi heard Zhou Quanyi's words, there was not much emotion in her eyes.

Seeing this, Zhou Quan couldn't help but ask, "Madam, from the look on your face, could it be that you've already thought of this?"

Liu Xiaoxi nodded slightly: "Well, I'm just guessing that my mother might have some plans for Yunyun."

"But I don't know what it is specifically." She turned to look at Zhou Quanyi: "Butler Zhou, since you said so, you must know something."

"What exactly is Mother going to do to Yunyun?"

Zhou Quan sighed lightly and hesitated to speak.

Liu Xiaoxi: "Butler Zhou, please feel free to say whatever you want. I am mentally prepared for whatever she wants to do to Yunyun."

"Don't worry, I won't be impulsive."

The golden sunlight falls on the courtyard like a gauze, and the mottled shadows of the trees sway in the wind, as if whispering.

Zhou Quanyi's figure looked increasingly heavy in the sunlight, his brows furrowed, as if he was carrying countless unspeakable secrets.

He turned slowly and looked at the anxious Liu Xiaoxi in front of him. If he told Liu Xiaoxi about this, and if she got impulsive and went directly to Xu Donghua to settle the score, his position as housekeeper would naturally be in jeopardy.

But when he saw Liu Xiaoxi's face full of worry about Luo Xueyun, he really couldn't bear it.

Xu Donghua has killed too many people, not to mention that those were just babies born not long ago.

After so many years, I have watched Luo Xueyun grow up to be four years old.

The child was so well-behaved that every time he saw him, he would call him Grandpa Zhou with a smile.

If there is anyone who can't bear it, it is Zhou Quanyi who can't bear it more towards Luo Xueyun.

Forget it. If I really lose my position as housekeeper because of this, then I won’t take it.

He didn't want to continue helping Xu Donghua deceive people. Although he did not participate in the killing of those baby girls, helping Xu Donghua cover up was no different from killing them.

He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. After a moment, Zhou Quanyi spoke softly: "Madam..."

"Actually... the old lady wants to send the young lady away...send her away..."

Liu Xiaoxi was almost driven crazy by Zhou Quanyi: "What are you sending? Tell me quickly."

Zhou Quanyi: "The old lady wants to send the young lady to marry a ghost!"

When Liu Xiaoxi heard this, her face turned pale instantly, as if she had heard some terrible news.

She asked in a trembling voice: "Mom, does she really want to do this?"

Zhou Quanyi stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead: "How dare I say such a thing."

"The old lady wants to use Yunyun to arrange a secret marriage with the Li family, the richest family in East City."

"The Li family promised to give the old lady fifty taels of gold!"

The golden sunlight was obscured by thick clouds at this moment.

Only a few wisps of afterglow were left in the courtyard.

Just like Liu Xiaoxi’s mood at the moment.

She felt as if her heart was being pressed down by a huge rock at this moment, making it hard for her to breathe.

Zhou Quanyi's words were like thunder, causing her to freeze in place instantly.

A picture suddenly appeared in her mind.

Her Yunyun was wearing strange red makeup and was tied up in a red sedan. There was an eerie silence all around, with only the faint sound of suona coming from afar, shrill and sad.

She seemed to be able to see her Yunyun being forced to sit side by side with a dead person, whose face was covered by a white cloth, leaving only deathly silence.

Liu Xiaoxi's body trembled involuntarily, and she seemed to feel the cold breath approaching her Yunyun.

The fear that penetrated her bones almost made her, an adult, collapse, let alone a little girl who was only four years old.

She bit her lower lip tightly to prevent her vulnerability from being exposed, but her eyes were filled with tears.

She never expected that Xu Donghua would have such an idea for Yunyun.

The heart felt like it was being stabbed repeatedly by countless barbs and thorns, and the bleeding would not stop.

Zhou Quanyi asked worriedly, "Madam, are you okay?"

Liu Xiaoxi waved her hands and forced herself to remain calm: "I'm fine."

"Xu Donghua didn't ask me to go find her, so I didn't go."

"That's your excuse anyway."

Zhou Quanyi: "Then I will take Madam back to her room."

Liu Xiaoxi: "No need, I can do it myself. You come back with me. If someone sees it and she hears about it, she will probably become suspicious of you."

Zhou Quanyi: "Okay, Madam, please go slowly, I will leave first."

Liu Xiaoxi: “Yeah.”

As soon as Zhou Quanyi disappeared from her sight, Liu Xiaoxi's whole body went limp.

She collapsed on the ground with empty eyes and her body shaking uncontrollably.

The wind all around seemed to be a bit chilly.

After a while, she forced herself to stand up. She absolutely could not be seen in this state by anyone else.

She couldn't let Xu Donghua become suspicious.

Liu Xiaoxi dragged his heavy body back to the room step by step.

The moment the door of the room closed, she could no longer control her emotions.

She burst into tears silently in the room.

Afraid that someone would hear her crying, she covered her mouth tightly with her hands.

Tears kept falling like pearls from a broken string.

She thought of all kinds of possibilities, but the only thing she didn't think of was that she wanted to kill her Yunyun.

Her hair was messily stuck to her cheeks, and her tears had long since dried up, leaving only traces of them.

Her hands were clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white from the effort.

Everything around her became blurry, only the pain in her heart was so clear.

She seemed to be in a lonely wasteland, surrounded by endless darkness, with only herself and unspeakable pain.

Xu Donghua has always been good at calculating and scheming.

We must not break up with her at this moment, otherwise Yunyun’s situation will be even more dangerous.

Luo Mingjian is unreliable.

In the past, he might have stood by her side, but now he would only stand by Xu Donghua.

Once the relationship with Xu Donghua breaks out, Xu Donghua will definitely force Yunyun to be sold to the Li family.

Even if the time comes to settle the score, the Liu family will not be able to do anything to them as they are in alliance with the Li family.

The Li family, the richest family in East City, has the support of the royal family. Although the Liu family also has people in the imperial city, their official positions are lower than theirs.

So a head-on confrontation won’t work.

There are too many things involved in this matter, and she can't make a wrong choice.

Suddenly, a light flashed in Liu Xiaoxi's eyes.

This seemingly unsolvable problem seems to have taken a turn for the better.

The turning point lies in the seventh young master Shen Yelin.

He is the most beloved youngest son of the current emperor, and a rare cultivation genius in Lingxuan Kingdom that only appears once in a hundred years.

His innate kingly aura and the most outstanding talents of Lingxuan Country complement each other.

If he is willing to help Yunyun, Yunyun will definitely be able to get through this.

-----

At this time, Luo Xueyun, who was still catching ghosts everywhere in the Shen Mansion, was laughing happily.

She was happy, but the ghosts were sad.

After several chases, all the ghosts that Shen Yelin caught last night were captured by Luo Xueyun one by one.

When the monsters and ghosts that came down from the mountain and followed Shen Yelin back to the Shen Mansion saw this scene, they were all scared and fled in all directions.

Luo Xueyun did not hurt them either. She just smiled and said, "I see that you all smell like Brother Shen."

"I think you and he are probably friends, so I won't do anything to you."

"But..." When she said this, her face suddenly became gloomy, "If I find out that you want to harm Brother Shen, their fate will be the same as yours."

After saying this, the ghosts caught by Luo Xueyun were instantly crushed by her into red ghost life crystals lying in her palms.

And she absorbed all the ghost life crystals right in front of them.

These monsters and ghosts were so scared that they almost fainted.

Luo Xueyun clapped her hands: "Huh~"

Then she skipped away, looking very happy.

It took a long time for the ghosts and monsters to come back to their senses.

One of the cat demons said tremblingly: "So, it turns out that the King of Hell came to our place yesterday to catch ghosts just for this little ancestor?"

The other ghost was so frightened that he was shaking as if he was struck by lightning, and even his voice was trembling: "She, she is so scary."

"She is scarier than the King of Hell!"

The fox demon stood up and said weakly: "I think we should just stay calm."

Everyone nodded and agreed to this proposal.

Luo Xueyun trotted back to the study to find Shen Yelin.

But when she ran to the study, she suddenly stopped.

[Brother Shen said he had to do his homework, so I couldn’t go in too noisily. ]

[Hehe, but thanks to Brother Shen not doing his homework, Yunyun was able to catch so many ghosts. ]

[After absorbing these ghost life crystals, my whole body feels cool and comfortable! ]

[That’s great! Hehehe~]
