Madam Cai was stunned. "General, it's still snowing. If we move the firewood out, it'll be of no use!"

General Li bellowed, "Move away!"

Mrs. Cai wanted to say something. Cai Ruochen pulled her back.

She was feeling quite nervous as well. If the basement was discovered, then it was obvious that she'd deceived His Majesty. Only death awaited them, not just them. All the people in the palace will die with him.

Two masters. The two maids were so nervous that their hearts were about to leap out of their chests.

Xuanyuan Yu stood below.

He could hear everything that was happening up there.

The boss angrily said, "This is really going too far!"

Xuanyuan Yu was so scared that she didn't dare to say a single word.

When the mama saw her, they all laughed.

However, Xuanyuan Yu could not put her guard down at all.

The boss shook his head, "Looks like he's really scared."

Then he gestured to the two of them, and the two mama also laughed for a while before walking up to the table and sitting down.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Yu was still nervous, he continued, "Don't worry. The imperial court had looked into this place before, but they didn't find anything. Don't look at what we're saying, it's impossible to see anything outside. Do you know how much gold was spent on this wall? Just this cement alone cost a hundred thousand silver taels. Her sound isolation and heat insulation effects were unknown. We count it as shouting. There's no movement outside at all. "

Although she said that, Xuanyuan Yu's heart was still there. She had clearly heard what had happened up there.

He could clearly hear the footsteps of people and the sound of firewood being moved away.

Xuanyuan Yu's heart was tightly clenched.

All the firewood in the house had been removed.

Cai Ruomeng felt her heart beating fast.

Lady Cai held her hand tightly. He signaled her not to be nervous.

Even though Cai Ruo Mu was holding Lady Cai's hand tightly, her heart was still beating really fast.

The two maidservants also lowered their heads, their palms slowly sweating.

Though they didn't know what was down there. However, she knew that if something bad happened to the Cai Residence, they, who sold the death contract, would also be in trouble.

Looking at the empty house.

General Li looked around, but saw nothing.

Xuanyuan Yu could clearly hear his footsteps.

Even the three mama stopped their banter and listened attentively to what was happening above.

General Li stepped on the floor. If one wasn't careful, it would be hard to notice that this step was relatively thick, but there were soundproofing on the thick floor as well.

He squatted down and started to knock on the door carefully.

Mrs. Cai's heart was about to jump out of her chest.

At that time, even if the Emperor sent someone to investigate, he wouldn't find anything wrong. However, he wasn't as careful.

Xuanyuan Yu had also clearly heard the sound of his knocks.

The floor was solid.

Looking at the surrounding walls, there was nothing wrong with it.

Was he overthinking it? Was it just an ordinary woodshed?

Lady Cai quickly asked, "General, have you finished reading?" "It's just an ordinary woodshed."

General Li was still puzzled and asked, "Why is the floor here thicker?"

Lady Cai obviously did not expect this. He could even see through it.

He continued to smile apologetically, "This was what the floor was like when we had this mansion in the past. In particular, we are not very clear ". Even though he said it in an understated manner.

However, from the way Mrs. Cai held her hand, Cai Ruo Mu could feel that her mother was very, very nervous right now.

"Miss, long time no see!"

Cai Ruo Mu raised her head and looked. It was actually a vice general. She was actually just a few centimeters away from his face.

He couldn't help but take two steps back.

Madame Cai was on the verge of going crazy. "General, please have some self-respect."

The deputy general smiled bitterly.

Lady Cai turned to General Li, who was still puzzled, and asked, "Has General Li seen them?" Have you finished reading it? This is such a big place like ours. You should have seen it already. Shouldn't you be leaving now? "

General Li glared angrily, "What's wrong, are you still chasing this general away?"

Madame Cai quickly lowered her head. "I don't dare."

General Li snorted coldly and walked out.

"Are you all done?"

"Yes, it's all checked, nothing's wrong."

General Li's face turned ashen.

"Mrs. Cai, give us the address of the beef plum. It was better if he didn't mention it. When he thought about it, he always felt that something wasn't quite right. That young master of the prince's mansion always felt something was wrong that day. Moreover, his intuition had something to do with that servant girl.

Lady Cai quickly nodded her head.

She took out a pen and paper.

After Mrs. Cai finished writing, she handed it over.

When General Li saw this, he coldly snorted and walked out.

Watching them leave in a formidable array.

Lady Cai and Cai Ruo Mu heaved a sigh of relief.

The two maids were drenched in sweat.

Just now was truly terrifying.

Those who were still observing outside watched General Li walk away, then said, "Pfft, what the heck is this?"

Lady Cai was too lazy to pay attention to these people, but they were all neighbors. She said coldly, "Move all the firewood in."

He followed Cai Ruo Mu inside.

The man watched Lady Cai walk in. He snorted, "Isn't it just a widow?"

"Even if she is a widow, you can't portray her."

"It's better if I go back and sleep."

Everyone sighed and left.

Xuanyuan Yu watched him leave before letting out a huge sigh of relief.

Too terrifying, too terrifying.

The old man laughed and said, "Come, sit down. See how scared you are."

Xuanyuan Yu laughed and just walked over.

Only then did he realize that he couldn't move his legs.

The boss saw that she didn't move, so he couldn't help but say, "Why are you still standing there?"

Xuanyuan Yu awkwardly stood there.

A mama laughed and said, "She is too scared to move."

Everyone laughed.

The mama went over and helped Xuanyuan Yu over.

"Come on, good girl, have something to eat and see how it scares you."

Xuanyuan Yu nodded her head and smiled as she received the food.

The blacksmith also laughed, "It's been a long time since I've seen him."

"That's not it."

For a moment, everyone laughed.

There weren't many people here, only four. Three mama and one Chinese character.

They all looked to be in their forties, slightly older than Mrs. Cai.

"Sigh, it's been so many years, but I haven't seen a single person."

Xuanyuan Yu really wanted to ask them, had they not gone out before? He didn't know anything about what was happening outside. However, he still didn't ask. Everyone had their own secrets. Didn't she have one as well?

"You don't have to be sentimental. We are the ones who chose this path. "Not too bad."

"Yeah. In the future, we will all depend on each other. "

Everyone laughed again.

The corners of Xuanyuan Yu's mouth also revealed a smile.

"Little girl, I heard you say that the Prime Minister's Estate was burnt. Do you know what happened?"

As Xuanyuan Yu ate the pastries, she shook her head.

"She's just a little girl, so how would she know?" the eldest brother said. "But there's no need to say anything about that. It's conceivable that the emperor and empress dowager wanted to reclaim power, so they were killed."

The man shook his head. Her Majesty is selfish and short-sighted. The entire Heavenly Stellar Kingdom was supported by the Liu Family, and everyone knew it. Thus, every emperor was very capable. "And now they actually did this, it seems that the Heavenly Stellar Kingdom will not be happy for long."

The eldest son chuckled, "I've seen the matriarch before, what a pity." A glass of clear water was served.

Everyone poured a cup of clear water to indicate to him.

The boss then continued, "We have long been reclusive people. In the future, whether this world is good or bad, it has nothing to do with us. "

Several people laughed in tacit understanding.

Xuanyuan Yu had an indescribable feeling.

Good, it feels good.

The boss looked at Xuanyuan Yu and said, "Listen carefully. You have gone out to deal with today's matters and can't say even half a word. Today, we can let you off this easily. "In the future, no matter good or bad, you must not hurt the people of the Cai Mansion."

Xuanyuan Yu put down the food in her hands and said seriously, "Yes, regardless of whether it's good or bad in the future, I will never tell anyone about this matter. "When we go out in the future, we will definitely not hurt the Cai Residence."

"Fine, if you dare to disobey my words today, I will hunt you down from the ends of the earth!" The words were calm and audible.

"Okay." Xuanyuan Yu finished all the water in the cup in one gulp.

General Li used the address to find Niu Mei's house.

General Li kicked the door open.

Niu Mei woke up with a start.

When I saw their faces.

Everyone in the room kneeled down: "General."

General Li walked up to Niu Mei and carefully examined her face.

Everyone was stunned.

This was the first time Niu Mei had ever been stared at like this. She could not help but blush.

General Li glanced at her in disdain, but there was no plastic surgery on his face.

Could it be that it wasn't her?

Ye Zichen pushed her away with a snort.

And then he asked, "Where is that ugly girl?"

Niu Mei felt uncomfortable as she was pushed aside like this.

He even asked about that girl.

His heart felt even more uncomfortable.

With a cold voice, he said, "I don't know."

General Li suddenly turned around, grabbed her by the neck and asked, "You don't know?"

Niu Mei found it hard to breathe.

But instinct told her not to give up, and she said, "Yes, I don't know." As he spoke, he touched General Li's hand.

General Li smiled evilly and let her go.

Niu Mei's father could immediately tell the meaning from General Li's eyes.

"General Li, my daughter is still a virgin."

General Li still tried to curry favor with his daughter, pushing her to his side, smiling, "So?"

When Niu Mei's father heard this, he became even more interested. "A talented man and a beautiful woman, as long as the general likes them."

General Li laughed out loud.

He glanced at Niu Mei's mother and her brother.

He said playfully, "As long as she serves me well, she will be my concubine in the future."

Niu Mei's father nodded. "As long as the general likes it, it doesn't matter."

Niu Mei's dad was going to kick Auntie Niu out.

Auntie Niu began to cry. "You're the one who's going to kill me with a thousand knives! You can't do this!"

Niu Mei's brother also cried, "Sister, sister!"

General Li looked at this scene coldly and gave a cold snort.
