Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Xu Miao and the others waited until it was completely dark, and then they heard sounds of fighting from the outer courtyard.

When the lady heard the sound, she nervously grabbed Xu Miao's arm tightly.

He trembled and said, "There really are thieves targeting our Duke Dingguo's Mansion. The Duke is just an idle prince. Why are they causing trouble in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion?"

Zhou Chenli has ignored the affairs of the court in recent years, so how could he be targeted by thieves?

At this time, a woman in her thirties stood out from the corner in the backyard, holding a steel knife in her hand.

Behind this old woman were two young maids in their twenties.

When Xu Miao saw the old woman rushing out with a steel knife in her hand, he also took the small axe on his waist in his hand.

When Mrs. Yang saw the old woman rushing out, she was shocked and asked, "Wife Xiwang, what are you doing?"

"You are a child born in the Duke Ding's mansion. If you want to commit suicide, don't you think about the people in your mother's family?"

Xiwang's wife stepped into the lady's backyard when she was young, starting her long career of serving.

In the past, she followed the established rules every day and quietly completed her duties.

Whether it was sweeping the yard or serving his wife's daily life, he did his best and never slacked off or overstepped the boundaries.

She is a low-key person, not good at speaking, and always maintains a simple attitude.

Mrs. Yang has experienced a lot in this mansion and is knowledgeable. She thinks she knows everyone in the backyard very well.

She usually observed Xiwang's wife's every move, and felt that she was an honest person who would not cause any trouble, so she did not pay too much attention to her.

However, things are unpredictable. At this critical moment, when everyone was still immersed in their own thoughts, Xiwang's wife unexpectedly stood up.

Mrs. Yang's eyes widened in astonishment and disbelief, wondering to herself: Why on earth would Xiwang's wife, who usually kept silent, suddenly jump out at this moment? What unknown reason was hidden behind this?

Xiwang's wife raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and there was a cunning light in her eyes.

Seeing that Mother Yang was asking her, she couldn't wait to speak: "Mother Yang, my family and Prince Rui have all been settled for me. I don't want the life of the lady and the young lady, I just want to exchange the lady and the young lady for some silver."

There was a hint of gloating and mystery in the tone.

People die for money, and birds die for food.

Since Xiwang's wife received a large amount of silver from Prince Rui, she asked Prince Rui to secretly take her parents and brothers and sisters to settle down elsewhere.

Xiwang's family had been quietly working in the Dingguo Mansion. When they left, no one really noticed.

At this time, Mrs. Yang called out again, "Your family has been settled, so you don't care about Xiwang and your mother-in-law's family anymore?"

Xiwang is the groom of Duke Dingguo's mansion and has always been serving in the front yard.

He was a decent worker, but he had a bad temper. When he was drunk, he would beat his wife violently.

When Xiwang's wife heard Mrs. Yang talking about her in-laws, she couldn't help but sneer and screamed, "I don't care whether they live or die. I'd be happy if they all died in front of me!"

"Mrs. Yang, please stop talking nonsense. We don't want to kill the lady and the young lady. We just want to ask the Duke for some money."

After saying that, Xiwang's wife waved the steel knife in her hand and rushed towards Xu Miao and the others.

When Xu Miao saw Xiwang's wife rushing over, he quickly blocked the wife and daughter behind him.

He also swung the small axe in his hand, and with two strokes, he cut off Xiwang's wife's head.

Xu Miao didn't expect that Xiwang's wife didn't know any martial arts at all, and that steel knife was just a decoration.

Xiwang's wife does not know martial arts, but the two maids following behind her are people with great martial arts skills.

While Xu Miao was killing Xiwang's wife, the two of them took the opportunity to surround the lady and the young lady.

At this time, Mrs. Han, who had been hiding in the house, rushed over.

Standing in front of the lady and the young lady.

When Aunt Yang saw Aunt Han rushing out, she screamed, "Old Aunt Han, are you looking for death? Ah Miao, quickly turn around and pull this old thing away."

In the lady's yard, there is not only Xu Miao who is good at martial arts, but also several maids left by Zhou Chenli to take care of the lady and the young lady.

These old women were a little far away from the Madam and the others. The closest ones were Old Lady Yang and Old Lady Han.

At this time, Mrs. Han didn't care about Mrs. Yang's shouting at all.

He swung the kitchen knife in his hand with great agility, and knocked a maid to the ground in a few strokes.

Xu Miao also turned around and started fighting with another maid.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yang was so surprised that she covered her mouth tightly.

This Mrs. Han and she were quite acquainted. They had been together day and night since she started serving in Zhou Jicheng's backyard.

Mrs. Yang never thought that this old Mrs. Han, who was usually taciturn and silent, could use martial arts at the critical moment.

At this time, Xu Miao also knocked another maid to the ground. He stepped on the maid with one foot and shouted, "Do you think that we in the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion are easy to bully?"

"I just sent you two idiots, and you thought you could capture the lady and threaten the Duke. You are too naive!"

At this time, several maids standing at the door also rushed to the lady and the young lady with weapons in their hands.

They also didn't expect that Xiwang's wife, who usually kept silent, would dare to make a fuss with her two maids.

Wait for these old women to tie up the two maids who fell to the ground with ropes.

Xu Miao squatted beside a maid and asked, "Did Prince Rui ask you to be undercover in Duke Dingguo's mansion?"

"What does Prince Rui want to do?"

After Xu Miao finished speaking, he raised his hand and hit the maid with an axe, and blood flowed from the maid's leg.

The maidservant cried out in pain.

The maid was also stubborn. She wailed in pain but did not answer Xu Miao's questions.

Seeing that the maid didn't say anything, Xu Miao raised his hand to chop her leg.

At this time, the maid who was tied up nearby cried, "Prince Rui let us hear that someone was attacking Duke Dingguo's mansion outside, so he took the opportunity to capture the lady and the young lady. He didn't say what he wanted to do."

Seeing the maid speaking, Xu Miao continued to ask, "Are there any other accomplices of yours in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion?"

Maid: "Miss, I really don't know about this. I just know that there are only three of us in the backyard."

"There are two fellows, in the outer courtyard. I don't know about the others."

Prince Rui probably didn't expect that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion would take precautions in advance, and thought that no one knew about his planned mutiny.

After the noise from the outer courtyard died down, a guard outside the backyard gate called out to Xu Miao and the others, "Madam, are you all okay?"

"We've apprehended all those people from the outer courtyard who tried to force their way into Duke Dingguo's mansion."

"Everything is fine in the outer courtyard now, ma'am, are you all okay over there?"
