Zuo Baozhu and Chaxianyu left the garden side by side and sped up their pace to return back. The brightly lit corridor was quiet, without a single servant to be seen. Chaxianyu was curious, she could not help but ask Zuo Baozhu, was the rear garden located in a remote place?
Zuo Baozhu nodded his head, he was at the back door of Zuo Mansion, near the foot of the Broad Creek Mountain, if it wasn't for the fact that he was usually planting trees and weeding and tidying up the plants, he wouldn't even bother with the servants if the Master Zuo didn't come.
Chaxianyu remembered that Zuo Yueshang had said that he was the one who arranged for Zuo Baozhu to come to the backyard, and she was faintly puzzled. Right at this moment, a light flashed at the end of the corridor, and it flickered between dark and dark, following the sound of fragmented footsteps, and from the distance, a lantern made of red plum parchment floated over.
When Chaxianyu looked carefully, she realized that it was Princess Li Suren, who was wearing a fur blanket and looking around anxiously.
Yu Er! Treasure beads! Li Suren ran over with a lantern in hand, hugging the two little fellows tightly in her arms. Aiyah, it's already so late, and I still can't see your figures!
Elder sister … Cough cough, we're fine, it's just that … For a time, he was so fond of fun that he forgot the time …
Chaxianyu had strangled Chaxianyu to the point that she couldn't breathe …
Li Suren did not believe it, she released the two, and touched Chaxianyu's left and right hands, then pulled the precious pearl in front of him. She examined it carefully from head to toe, and only let out a sigh of relief when she was sure that the two were alright.
It's good that you're fine. The wind is strong at night, come back with me quickly.
Chaxianyu quickly nodded and glanced at Zuo Baozhu beside him. He did not say anything, lowered her head and did not say a single word.
Madame, where have you been so late? Let me worry so much! When the three of them returned to the hall, Zuo Yueshang was walking around anxiously, he could not care about the injuries on his arm, and upon seeing that Li Suren had returned, he subconsciously extended his hand out to grab Li Suren.
Seeing that Master Xu did not bring back the Yu Er and the pearl after so long, the woman became anxious and ran out to look for them herself. Li Suren laughed, and comforted him with a warm voice. "Husband, look, I've found the two of them.
Zuo Yueshang still held Li Suren's hand, and repeatedly confirmed that she was not injured. Zuo Baozhu held his breath, upon seeing this, he quietly turned his head, and did not look. Zuo Yueshang and Li Suren communicated their feelings and loved each other. He clearly knew this the best, but today, he felt that this scene was especially dazzling.
Although he told himself many times that Master Zuo Yueshang did not belong to him, and he did not want this heartache, and he did not want it either.
He was injured.
Although he had carefully examined his body, but he could not find any wounds, he was certain that he was severely injured. I'm afraid even Master Zuo's Xiao can't cure me … The wound is in my heart, it's like a pair of big hands mercilessly tore me into shreds, every breath is so painful … This was the first time since birth that he experienced such pain. He hadn't been wounded by a sharp weapon, so it turned out that he was also in such pain. It turned out that he was actually in such pain.
Or had he always been in pain?
Suddenly, Li Suren's words interrupted Zuo Baozhu's thoughts. Jewel, Yu Er, quickly come over and help me take a look.
Chaxianyu took out an exquisite box from behind as if she was performing a trick. Lightly opening it to see, a pair of small and exquisite red border handmade embroidery, mutton fat white jade wedding shoes presented in front of him.
I specially entrusted the number one shoemaker in the capital, who spent more than three months to finish the work. From the material to the pattern, they were all chosen by me, and I was waiting for the day of the wedding to show them to my husband.
Zuo Yueshang's beautiful eyes carried a smile as he looked at her deeply. Mistress, please don't worry. In a few days, the carefully crafted wedding dress that the female weaver has been working on in Zuo Mansion Workshop day and night will be completed. It will be extremely beautiful if it is matched with this pair of white jade shoes.
Chaxianyu was captivated by the scene as she stared intently at the exquisite object. Seeing that Chaxianyu liked it so much, she pulled the girl's hands and smiled, teasing her, "When Yu Er gets married in the future, I will also help you create a pair. What do you think?
Chaxianyu's face was flushed red as she joked around. Sister, you must be joking! Thank you for your kind intentions.
Hearing Chaxianyu's words, Zuo Yueshang proposed, "This is a rare opportunity, Madam, Yue Shang also wants to see Madam try on her wedding shoes ahead of time."
Li Suren openly took off her embroidered shoes, and under the service of the servant girl, she put on her wedding shoes. She revealed a happy expression, the size was just right for her! Flowery feet just happened to be the right choice.
After walking for a circle, Li Suren picked up the long skirt and walked a few steps forward. Just as she was about to turn around and admire the three people, she started to talk about how light it was when walking … A crisp sound came out from her heels, before everyone could react, Li Suren tripped and fell to the ground.
A virgin! Sister! Li Suren and Chaxianyu were so frightened that they immediately went to support him. Li Suren held onto her ankle a few times but was unable to stand up, her face covered in cold sweat. Seeing that, Zuo Yueshang grabbed Li Suren's leg with her hands and took off her white socks.
Chaxianyu quickly found the culprit — — Picking up the shoe that had broken heels, Zuo Yueshang became furious. What the hell was going on?! Someone! Bind the shoemaker back to my house, I want to interrogate him...
Wait, my lord!
Zuo Yueshang who had been silent the entire time shouted out, he turned his head and saw the young man standing straight, with a calm expression, he said, Master, these shoes are not the shoemaker's responsibility, I have done something to them.
I knew that the princess cherished these shoes, so I replaced them with soft, fragile turpentine before the maid could react.
The more Zuo Yueshang listened, the uglier his face became. He clenched his fists so tightly that they turned white, and his lips had long since lost all color, his entire person was like a green bamboo shoot that was on the verge of collapse. His tone became more difficult as he clenched his teeth and asked word by word, Zuo Baozhu, why did you deliberately hurt my wife?
Wait! Lord Yue Shang, there was a misunderstanding … Chaxianyu became anxious. She didn't even have time to explain to Zuo Yueshang, when Zuo Yueshang had already bent over and carefully carried Li Suren with his injured arm. Without even looking at Zuo Baozhu, he walked straight out of the hall and left a few words behind in a cold tone.
Zuo Baozhu, from today onwards, you will not be allowed to take even a single step out of the room.
Li Suren was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, she could only hug Zuo Yueshang's neck, in her weakened state, she did not forget to beg for mercy from the pearl. Husband, I'm fine, the pearl is still just a child …
Madame, I will take you to the doctor at once. Zuo Yueshang ignored him. At the moment, Li Suren was injured, and his heart was burning with anxiety. Hugging Li Suren, he ordered the servants to prepare the carriage and was about to leave the Zuo Mansion.
Please wait! Master Zuo! Chaxianyu raised her head and saw a man dressed entirely in black falling from the sky. That pair of familiar red eyes, wasn't that one of the Luo Clan's patriarchs, the imperial priest, Luo Rongji?
Master Luo...? Why was it so sudden? Zuo Yueshang placed Li Suren into the carriage, and stood by the side of the carriage while cupping his hands and bowing to Luo Rongji.
Master Zuo, this is a long story … The moment I entered the palace, I vaguely sensed an unusual aura of a Demonic Beast. Later on, when I saw Zuo Baozhu, I thought that the Qi that was different from normal people was emitted by him, and so I dispelled my concerns. Luo Rongji lowered his head slightly. A pair of grey lashes covered the sharpness of his red eyes. His hair that was as black as ink fluttered slightly.
Luo Rongji held onto the sword hilt, his expression suddenly became serious. Master, I investigated and followed up, confirming that a gigantic Demonic Beast entered your house, I don't know when that Demonic Beast will appear, and it would be better to order the entire manor to search for it.
Just as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook in the night sky, causing the ground to shake. Chaxianyu's brain short-circuited for a moment, Eh?
The roof tiles suddenly collapsed like a torrent. AAHH! "The Herbal Tea Fish crouched on the ground with its head in its hands. The ground rumbled and shattered. The rubble around it fell down one after another. Zuo Bao's reaction was extremely fast. He picked up the Herbal Tea Fish and ran!
Chaxianyu only felt a strong wind sweeping towards him, and her steps were swept back. Zuo Baozhu held onto her hands tightly, and at this time, Zuo Yueshang shouted anxiously outside the door, Be careful of the top of his head!
Hiss! The roof had collapsed, and a few wooden pillars that could only be embraced by a few people had already been broken into several pieces. Chaxianyu was sweating profusely and her hands and feet were no longer listening to orders.
A golden Python with a snake's tongue stuck out, it was taller than the roof, its waist was sturdy, and it hovered on the half-collapsed roof of the Zuo Mansion. Its pair of blue-green eyes, which were several times bigger than a copper bell, stared straight at her.
