Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Feng Xili was horrified, her screams were muffled in her mouth. The man hugged her waist, turned around and disappeared beside the rockery.

Fenfang was called away by the lady. Laixiang went to the kitchen to ask her for hawthorn water to help her digest food. Lai Ye poured it out again, and now there was no one around her.

There was a thief in the yard? Her Lanshang Garden was just a remote little yard, there wasn't anything valuable there!

She was panicked and couldn't break free, but she didn't dare to resist too violently.

"Heh!" A soft laugh came from my ear, which sounded familiar.

"Tell me, if I shout loudly and the people in the prime minister's residence see you secretly meeting a man, what will you do?"

The low and hoarse voice was full of ridicule, which made her feel flustered.

"Tell me, who was the boy who helped you out that day?"

Her back rested lightly against his chest, feeling the vibrations.

Feng Xili's heart skipped a beat. Who is this person?

"My hero, I am just a little concubine from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why are you arresting me?"

"Although my yard is remote, there are quite a few patrols in the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, they are all from the mansion. I... I won't shout. Please let me go!"

She suddenly realized that he was holding her hostage in his arms, and behind him was the secret door leading to the Zixiang Palace next door.

It was only because it was a little dark behind the rockery and the secret door was disguised that he didn't notice it at first.

But the door was right behind him. Once he leaned his back against the secret door, the feeling would be absolutely different from that of the wall.

Feng Xili was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat. She absolutely couldn't let him know that there was a secret door between the Prime Minister's Mansion and Prince Zixiang's Mansion.

"Brave man, brave man, how about this? I still have some jewelry, I'll give it to you. Please don't hurt me and let me go, okay?"

She deliberately pinched her throat and cried, and her gentle tone instantly distracted him.

The hand that was pinching her neck loosened a little. Feng Xili didn't dare to escape rashly, for fear that he would get angry and stab her a few times, which would be too much fun.

She moved away from his chest a little, her heart in her throat, and quickly took off the bracelet on her wrist and the pendant on her ear, then handed them to him sideways, lowering her head and closing her eyes.

Show that I don’t know who you are and don’t want to know who you are. If you are in trouble, just take the money and leave quickly. I will never stop you.

The man was dressed in black, even his face was covered, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. In the dim light, his eyes looked like the pupils of a wild beast, glowing green.

Her hands and feet were cold, and she didn't know what this man wanted to do.

Is he going to rape her?

The man in black took a step back unconsciously. Feng Xili was shocked and pulled him over with her hands faster than her brain.

For a moment, both of them were stunned.

She bit her tongue hard and stammered, "Zhuang, Zhuangshi, it's so dark here, you'd better go out. I'll pretend I haven't seen you before."

The man in black's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something.

He slowly stretched out his hand, "Give me the things."

As he said that, he took another step back.

Feng Xili became visibly flustered as soon as he saw him retreat, and the man in black instantly became interested.

She quickly took two steps forward and stretched out her hand, wanting to hand the bracelet to him quickly.

Just as he put his hand above his palm, the man in black took another big step back!

"Ah!" She screamed in surprise, then covered her mouth and looked at him pitifully.

"Come over here, it's too dark over there."

She glanced at the secret door behind him with a vague look, her heart pounding, and the air around her seemed to vibrate.

The man in black's ears twitched, his eyes darkened, he reached out to snatch the bracelet from her hand, and disappeared in a trance.

She blinked, and the person disappeared out of thin air?

"Miss...Miss..."

A crisp and clear shout came from outside. This girl came at the perfect time.

Feng Xili flashed out of the rockery and quickly walked to the side of Lai Ye who was still lying on the stone table.

"Hey! Miss, why are you here? Eh? What happened to Lai Ye?"

Lai Xiang came over quickly, carrying a lunch box and steaming hot.

Seeing the young lady standing beside Lai Ye in a daze, she quickly put down the lunch box.

"Miss, your hands are so cold!"

She heard the chattering of a little girl in her ears, and she let out a long sigh. Her legs went limp and she almost fell to the ground.

"Miss!" Lai Xiang was startled. "It's okay. Lai Ye fainted suddenly. I guess she hasn't fully recovered from her illness yet. Let her rest for two more days."

After this scare, she felt her stomach was empty and she was a little hungry again.

Zui Xiang Lou is packed with people today, and the private rooms on the second floor are also fully occupied.

A woman in a long silk gauze dress embroidered with gold thread sat by the window. She had an oval face, thin lips slightly pursed under her straight nose, two dimples occasionally appearing on her cheeks, and a hint of excitement flickered in her eyes.

Yesterday, the wife of the Prime Minister took the official media to General Mingwei's residence. The reason is already known to everyone.

The matter between Xiao Ze and Feng Xili caused a lot of controversy, and the rumors tended to go in two directions.

One side thought that the man was taking himself too seriously by treating a little concubine's daughter like this before she even got married. If he really married her, she would be a tigress.

The other side believes that it is unacceptable for a general to be so easily deceived that he would conclude that his wife was unfaithful without any further explanation and even be so ruthless at the wedding ceremony.

Even if she is the legitimate wife, it is hard to say whether she will be divorced in the future. It is better to make a decisive decision now.

"Yurong, what are you looking at?"

The eight-immortal table in the house was filled with various cakes and snacks, and three girls about fourteen or fifteen years old were sitting at the table.

A dignified and elegant-looking girl greeted Luo Yurong with a smile. The four of them were all legitimate daughters of various wealthy families in Ya'an City.

Because of their similar status and age, they have a good personal relationship.

Two of them have even been designated sisters-in-law.

Luo Yurong is the second daughter of the current Taifu. She has an older sister who is already married and a younger brother.

Ever since she saw Xiao Ze's handsome figure proposing marriage more than a year ago, she has been fascinated by him and can only see him as a man.

Logically speaking, her status was more suitable than Feng Xili's, but unfortunately, just as she fell in love with him, he was engaged to someone else.

Now, do I have another chance?

Luo Yurong's mind was not at all on the small gathering of her close friends. When she went out today and heard that Xiao Ze had signed the divorce agreement, her heart, which had been silent for a long time, began to beat again.

She had just celebrated her coming-of-age ceremony two months ago, and now Xiao Ze is getting married.

God helps me!

She laughed secretly, and the girl next to her poked her carefully, thinking that she hadn't been out for too long and was not used to it?

"Xuanxuan, you said that since General Xiao has already called off the engagement, can we go and propose marriage to another family?"

The first thing Luo Yurong asked was a jaw-dropping question.

Is this what we were just talking about?

Chu Linxuan opened her mouth and looked at her in shock. Weren't they discussing the tea and cultural banquet to be held at her house next month?

Kang Jiuyi and Meng Yao will become her eldest and third sisters-in-law after the new year. Chu Linxuan is so excited that she can't stop smiling. It is truly a friendship given by God.

Therefore, Chu Linxuan's mother invited many guests to make the house lively and bustling. They were all young men and women, and it was also an opportunity for her two sons to develop feelings with their future wives.

Luo Yurong looked embarrassed and pulled Chu Linxuan to act coquettishly: "Xuanxuan, of course I know, don't worry~~"

She turned to look at Meng Yao and Kang Jiuyi, "Don't worry, you two can take your sister with you. I've already told my father, and he'll ask the people at the academy to go."

She patted her chest and laughed.

Chu Linxuan's father, Prince Rongxuan, is a prince of a different surname and a favorite of the emperor. One of his two sons is planning to marry Meng Yao, the youngest daughter of the Minister of Justice Meng Chenglu, while the other is also planning to marry Kang Jiuyi, the apple of the eye of the Grand Marshal Kang He's eye.

Although Meng Yao and Kang Jiuyi have already arranged to get married, they still have several younger sisters at home. Their parents asked them to take advantage of this tea party to take their younger sisters out to show their faces and see if they can find a good husband.

Towards the end, the four little girls, having eaten and drunk their fill and laughing all day, stood up and called their maids to get ready to go home.

But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.

With a crisp "bang!" sound, broken wood flew everywhere and the street-facing window of the four-person room was violently blown away.

"Ah!" In an instant, a scream broke through the sky.
