The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

It's over. What should I do now? He Jingxun is still in the Marquis' Mansion, and she didn't bring him any food. He must be hungry now. It's all He Jingming's fault.

At this time, He Jingming was sitting in Mingyue Tower with a gloomy face. He didn't expect that Xiao Yue disappeared in the blink of an eye. He searched for her on the street for a long time but couldn't find any trace of her. He asked many people to look for her but couldn't find her. There was no sign of her. Were these secret guards useless? They couldn't even find one person. They didn't expect that they couldn't find her either.

He Jingming ordered his men to intensify their search efforts. When he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he felt a sense of depression in his heart that was difficult to dissipate. Sitting in the study room reading the information he had collected, there was also a worrying thing lingering in his mind. His cousin-in-law and nephew disappeared at the border, and it seemed that those people could no longer control themselves and were going to deal with him.

Xiao Wanyue on the other side thought that she should go back home and take her belongings with her. It would be even better if she could bring He Jingxun out as well.

She told the two of them that she would be away for a while, walked out of the room, closed the door tightly, went to the street to buy some buns and roast chicken, and headed towards the Marquis' Mansion. She carefully walked through the streets and it took her more than half an hour to reach the Marquis' Mansion. She was dressed as a man and was not afraid that anyone would have any thoughts about her.

She placed some sleeping pills in the backyard, and only entered the mansion after hearing someone fall inside. This was all thanks to the fact that she was already familiar with all the routes in the mansion, and she had also learned some martial arts in modern times, which made it so easy for her.

Xiaoxin arrived at the deserted courtyard, opened the door and found that there was no one inside. It should be that He Jingming took him somewhere else. This is also good. Doesn't this mean he can escape from his sea of ​​suffering?

She came to her residence again. It was pitch black, with only the bright moon in the sky shining in the courtyard. She quietly pushed open the window and climbed in. The sound of opening the door was too loud, so she decided to climb in through the window.

He took out the brick where he had hidden the things, put it in his bag, and was about to jump out the window to leave. Suddenly, he heard a noise in the yard and someone shouting, "There is an assassin, catch the assassin quickly." The voice came from far away and got closer.

Oh my God, what’s going on? Could it be that someone has discovered her? That’s not right. She’s not an assassin.

He hid carefully in the room and looked outside through the window. The torches illuminated Tinglan Courtyard, and then he hurried towards the lotus pond.

She breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she couldn't go to see He Jingxun today. She could only wait and see if there would be another chance in the future.

However, He Jingming still needs to be informed about Yun Qianshu's matter.

After watching the people go away, she carefully climbed out of the window and walked towards the main courtyard along the wall. At this time, all the lights were off and the courtyard was quiet. She carefully came to the study and pushed open the door. It was pitch black. Fortunately, the moonlight shone in, so she could see the furnishings of the room clearly.

She came to the desk, took out a piece of rice paper, pressed it, ground the ink in the inkstone until the ink was thick enough, took out a wolf-hair brush, dipped it in the ink and was about to start writing. Suddenly, a person appeared behind her, which scared her. Before she could react, she was restrained by the person behind her. The brush fell on the rice paper, leaving a stain. She struggled hard but failed to get it free.

She wanted to scream but was afraid of attracting others. Then she felt the heavy breathing of the man behind her sounded in her ears. Her body couldn't help but tremble. She didn't know who this man was, but the smell on his body felt very familiar.

"Still running?" A familiar voice came into her ears.

It’s He Jingming!!

"Why are you here? Let me go." Xiao Wanyue said a little angrily. She really didn't like the way this man hugged her and had close contact with her all the time.

"You haven't agreed to me yet, so why are you running away?" He Jingming's tone was a little gloomy.

He had been thinking about the person in his arms for a whole day, and when he finally saw her, he was angry because of what she said.

"What do you mean by run away? You know how you feel about me. I have done my best for you. At least I saved you when you were poisoned. Shouldn't you repay me instead of treating me like this?" Xiao Wanyue still wanted to try to get the indenture contract back.

"Isn't it your responsibility to save me? You are my maid." He Jingming felt that what he said was right. This was an indisputable fact. She was originally his.

"Look, you are the master and I am the servant. Our status is not matched. I want my indentureship back, is that okay? Just consider it as a way to repay me for saving my life and give you a big surprise. How about it?" Xiao Wanyue looked at He Jingming pitifully and said.

Seeing her like this, pitiful and helpless, He Jingming seemed to be her support and wanted to agree to her request, but how could he agree? Anyone could leave him, except her, Xiao Yue. How could he let her be clean and flawless when he was in the quagmire?

He couldn't imagine what he would feel if he lost Xiao Yue. He only knew that he couldn't lose Xiao Yue. The thought of losing her made him feel violent and he wanted to destroy everything. His thoughts had gone through a lot of hardships in an instant, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked at Xiao Wanyue indifferently and said, "Why do you want to sell your indenture?"

Xiao Wanyue wondered if this person was playing dumb. What could she possibly do by selling her indenture? Wasn't it just to get rid of her slavery? And who would be willing to be a slave?

She really couldn't help rolling her eyes, and this action was seen by He Jingming. He Jingming also felt that he was a little stupid. Why did he ask such a stupid question? Was he dumbed down?

"Why do you want to leave?" He Jingming asked.

He really didn't know why Xiao Wanyue wanted to leave him. How could a woman like her support herself? Moreover, she had such a beautiful appearance. Didn't she know that she would be bullied if she didn't have a man with a strong family background to support her?

The world is inherently harsher towards women, and he can still protect her a little in the Marquis' Mansion.

Wouldn't it be nice to be his concubine?

He didn't say this, nor did he ask.

If Xiao Wanyue knew this guy was thinking this way, she would definitely smack him in the head. How shameless! Who wants to be by your side and be your concubine? Ah!

She went to find many young handsome men and then told them, "Don't even think about being my legal husband, but you can be my concubine. Are you willing to do that? That's ridiculous."

Xiao Wanyue: "My world is so big, I want to go see it!"

He Jingming: "The world is so chaotic, can't you just not go?"

Xiao Wanyue: "Where did you get all this nonsense from when you gave me the indenture?" she said with a frown.

She didn't want to care about anything anymore, just let it go. The strict hierarchy, the male superiority, none of that mattered. What mattered was her desire to leave. She was a cannon fodder, destined to be a stepping stone. It was better to let things take their own course, to be happy and at ease.

He Jingming was very dissatisfied with Xiao Wanyue's attitude and said, "Yue'er, you are still my maid, how can you be so ignorant of etiquette." His face began to darken, as if a storm was about to come.

Xiao Wanyue: "What exactly do you want?" She looked at He Jingming.

He Jingming: "I just want you not to leave me."

Xiao Wanyue felt that the current He Jingming was nothing like the ruthless and murderous character in the book. It might be that he hasn't started to turn evil yet. It turned out that this guy was like this before he turned evil. But so what? She had no interest in this arrogant man. She wanted to leave the Marquis' Mansion and look for a way to return to the modern era. After all, this book was originally a game, and her actions had changed her destiny. It was just that there seemed to be something wrong with the male protagonist.

Xiao Wanyue: "Can you restore your former domineering and aloof image? It's so late now, I want to go to bed."

He Jingming: "Where have you been?"

Xiao Wanyue didn't expect that this man would start to blame her. She felt a little guilty. After all, He Jingming didn't hurt her during her time in the Marquis' Mansion, and was even nice to her. She shouldn't hate him so much just because of the ending in the book.

"I went to the tailor shop and bought some clothes. Then I found a mother and child. They said they came from the border. I took them to the clinic. They are still living in the yard outside. I have to go back to take care of them. They are still sick. The lady surnamed Yun almost died. Fortunately, I know some medical skills, otherwise, the child would have lost his mother."

When He Jingming heard this, he wondered why this person was so...
