It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

The men in black in front suddenly separated to the left and right, leaving a path in the middle.

A tall man wearing a silver mask and a black cloak walked slowly towards them.

"Madam, I have just surveyed the terrain. I will cover you from the backyard later." As Yuan Buwei was sizing up the masked man, she heard Li Yan's words, "There are so many of them. It would be faster if they just stayed outside and threw in a few torches to burn us to death. Why did they rush in so suddenly? It's obvious that they are here for something."

"For what..."

Li Yan looked down at Song Rui: "What are you hiding?"

"If I had hidden something, I would have taken it out long before they found me. Why should I joke with Lotus and the lives of the two children?" The blood loss and the cold weather took away most of Song Rui's hypothermia. He wanted to close his eyes, but in the current situation, he could only hold on.

"Wow, wow."

Just then, two babies crying were heard in the house.

After hearing this, the masked man looked at Song Rui and said, "Song Rui, I didn't expect that your child has been born in such a short time since we last met. It seems that you are lucky. Let's make a deal. If you hand over the things, I will spare the lives of your wife and children."

"I told you, I don't have what you need at all, why don't you believe me?" Song Rui was about to collapse.

"That thing was always carried by Chief Mu. He even took it off when he took a bath. After he was killed that day, my people stripped him naked but couldn't find it. And you were the only one with him that day. Do you dare to say that the thing is not with you?"

The masked man sneered, looked up at the house, and raised his right hand high: "If you refuse to tell me, then I will send someone in now, take your children out, and throw them to death in front of you one by one. Are you still afraid to tell me?"

"Luan Fengyu, I have no grudge against you, why do you want to bite me so hard? And think about it carefully, if Chief Mu really gave me the things, would I still marry He Hua and have children? I am not a fool, leaving a weak spot for you to threaten."

Song Rui's words made sense, but when Yuan Buwei heard the masked man's name, she suddenly looked up at him.

Luan Fengyu is a eunuch who appears to be loyal to the emperor and behaves flamboyantly, but in fact he enters the palace to find the truth about his dead brother.

In the previous life, Jiang Weiming, as the emperor's favorite, often met Luan Fengyu. After a few visits, Yuan Buwei became familiar with him.

He entered the palace as a eunuch at the age of fifteen. He worked hard and endured humiliation all the way to reach his current position. Unfortunately, he was betrayed by his confidants in the end, and before he could find out the murderer who killed his brother, he was beheaded by the emperor.

When Jiang Weiming learned of his death, instead of feeling sad, he praised him for dying a good death.

Yuan Buwei was very confused at the time and asked why.

Jiang Weiming said, what's so arrogant about a dead eunuch? If he wasn't deeply trusted by the emperor, he would never have anything to do with him.

Yuan Buwei also realized at that moment that Jiang Weiming was completely controlled by power.

"Song Rui, you asked a good question. I also want to know why you keep saying that you have nothing to hide and dare to get married and have children?" Luan Fengyu looked at Song Rui with a smile, "This may be your trick to confuse me."

"you!"

Just when Song Rui was at a loss, Li Yan discussed with the two guards how to cover Yuan Buwei's retreat.

The three of them saw Yuan Buwei stand up.

"Master Luan, at this time every year, does your injured knee still ache slightly every day?"

Luan Fengyu was startled, squinting at the woman who suddenly stood up. After a moment, he recognized her: "Mrs. Lu? Why are you here?"

"If Lord Luan can appear, why can't I appear?" Yuan Buwei smiled in response, and then strode forward with big strides, "It just so happens that I have a few words to say to Lord Luan."

"Mrs. Lu, I just want to get something today, and I don't want to harm Song Rui's life. As for your life, if you cooperate with me, I will naturally let you go. Otherwise, it's hard to say. After all, this Lihua Village is not big, and it can be burned clean with a fire."

"Luan Fengyu, Madam Lu is here to save my wife. If you have anything to say, come to me." Song Rui shouted from the back. If he implicated Madam Lu because of him, he would not be able to rest in peace even if he died today.

"Lord Luan, since you are sure of victory, are you still afraid of me saying a few words to you?" Yuan Buwei spread her hands and looked at him, "Wait until I finish speaking, then you can kill me."

Luan Fengyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuan Buwei who looked calm. He couldn't guess what she wanted to say to him, but then he thought that she was right. As far as they were concerned, they would not be able to get out of his Five Fingers Mountain today.

So, he nodded: "Okay, Madam Lu, you can speak."

"I'd better talk in front of you. What I'm going to say is more private." Yuan Buwei smiled slightly, then walked towards Luan Fengyu and whispered something in his ear.

Luan Fengyu, who was originally smiling, his pupils shrank and his breathing immediately became rapid after hearing what Yuan Buwei said.

Seeing his reaction, Yuan Buwei continued with her second sentence: "You can indeed cut the grass and root it out, but if I can't go home on time today, then the young marquis will go to the palace and tell the emperor your secret. Moreover, if I die here today, the Wanning Marquisate will definitely investigate to the end. Add to that the emperor's suspicion, and you will definitely not be able to avenge yourself, not to mention your career path."

Luan Fengyu had never told anyone this secret, not even his close associates.

How did Madam Lu know about this?

In an instant, pressure was put on Luan Fengyu.

Yuan Buwei felt that Luan Fengyu, who had just looked confident of victory, was now breathing in a mess, so she slowly stepped back: "Lord Luan, I can give you an incense stick of time to think about it. Life or death depends on your decision."

Luan Fengyu raised his head and looked at Yuan Buwei with a gloomy face.

Not to mention a stick of incense, even in an hour, Luan Fengyu had only one choice, which was to retreat.

Because he can't afford the gamble.

Luan Fengyu took a deep breath, raised his right hand and waved it gently.

The people who had surrounded the masked man in black put away their swords and turned around to retreat out of the yard.

Song Rui and Li Yan, who were ready to die, were stunned when they saw the scene before them.

They all looked at Yuan Buwei.

What did the young lady say to Luan Fengyu that made him so obedient?

"Lord Luan, I have no intention of being your enemy. As long as you don't make things difficult for me, no third person will know what I just said. Moreover, I would like to remind Lord Luan that since you can't find the answer, could it be that the answer has been covered up by someone?"

Luan Fengyu's younger brother was also a eunuch when he entered the palace. With his current status, it would be easy for him to find out the death of a young eunuch.

But there is still no clue until now. Either his brother died outside the palace, or someone deliberately suppressed it.
