The master was not here, and the Qingping Courtyard was very quiet. Zhu'er sat on the steps in the front yard in a daze. Not far from her, an old woman was hunching over and sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard.

The other maids in the yard were sent to have dinner at this time, and only the sweeping woman was still tireless.

The broom in her hand rubbed violently with the ground, making waves of very regular squeaks, both of which were not light or heavy, and echoed very clearly in the quiet courtyard, but Zhu'er seemed to have not heard it. Her heart was beating very violently.

I don’t know if the girl can succeed. If she can succeed, she will be rich and prosperous together, but if she fails, then her fate can be imagined. Zhu'er couldn’t help but feel cold on her back as she thought.

There seemed to be a sound of wind blowing in his ears. Zhu'er blinked twice, suddenly rolled his eyes and fell to the side, rolling silently under the steps. The sweeping woman noticed something strange, and before she could turn around, she felt that there was an extra breath behind her.

"If you dare to make a sound, I will cut your throat!"

The man pressed the throat of the sweeper with a dagger, and took the person to a hidden location with a flash. At this time, the sky was getting darker, and even if someone passed by, it would not be easy to find them.

"I'm just a servant and I don't know anything." The sweeper was quite calm. She held the broom tightly in her hand, but the trembling fingers revealed her emotions.

"Where is your master? Where is she?"

Hearing the sound of a man, the woman swallowed, "Are you looking for Miss Yan? She has gone out and is not in the yard."

The man sneered, "Have you had a try to find her old lover?"

"Heroic man, I am just a sweeping woman. I don't know anything. Go and ask Zhu'er! She is Miss Yan's maid, and must know where Miss Yan has gone."

"Don't talk about any maid, do you really don't know where she went?"

"No...I don't know, hero, my life is in your hands, how dare I lie."

"Hmph, it's better if she's not here. Where can you young master live? Take me there."

"Are you here to find the eldest young master?" The old man couldn't help but hold his breath nervously, holding the broom tightly, but the other party had a knife in his hand and could not act rashly, otherwise the life would have to be explained here.

"What are you doing so much!" The man approached his sword, which was so shocked that the woman begged for mercy.

"Thank you for life, hero. I have swept the floor in this yard for more than ten years, but I haven't been out much. I don't know anything about the outside world. I know more clearly than I do if you catch a maid. If you have a lot of it, just let me go."

"I don't know anything? Then what's the use of saving your life? Are you waiting to report it to me?"

"I dare not, the old lady was blind, and the sky was so hazy that she couldn't see anything."

"Stop pretending to be garlic with me here. What dirty things are you doing behind your back? If you really don't know about it, take me to find Shen Tingxuan quickly, or I will attack you!"

The sweeping woman really wanted to squeeze out tears. She could suffer such a disaster if she swept the floor for no reason. What bad luck did she have? It should be said that she has not been lucky since ten years ago. She has been the same in the past few days. She always dreamed of wronged souls seeking life, but she did not mean to harm others, and she was really wronged.

The person who came here would not care about the mother-in-law's thoughts, so he said coldly: "The master of this courtyard has some affair with Shen Tingxuan. Your Shen family is just asking for a way out for him. I want to see what kind of woman he is from is who can make him fascinated. At that time, I will send them on the road together, so that I can go to the underworld to pass on the family line. This is to accumulate virtue and benefit your Shen family."

The old lady was shocked. This man must have come to take Chen Tingxuan's life, otherwise he would have found Gan Yan to do something. But the matter was covered tightly, and even Chen Qi and Shen Zhi and his son didn't know about it. How could this man know?

Thinking of this, the old lady's mind instantly turned all kinds of speculations and consequences, and gritted her teeth and said, "Nothing nonsense! Miss Yan is a pure girl's home, how could she have something to do with the young masters!"

"Isn't it nonsense? You know in your heart. Take me to find someone!"

The other party was no longer patient. The blade pressed into his throat and penetrated deeper, and the pain immediately came. The woman was so scared that she immediately fell silent, and the broom in her hand fell to the ground.

I just pretended to be calm and held it tightly, but now I just want to fall off.

There was a rustling sound of footsteps from someone. It was probably because the maids who went to eat had returned.

The old woman's heart pounded. Seeing the person behind her kicking the broom into the hidden shadow, her heart suddenly jumped and then sank heavily.

"Zhu'er, why are you asleep here?" The maids surrounded Zhu'er one after another, thinking that she had fainted, but she woke up with a slight shake.

Zhu'er rubbed her eyes, not knowing what was wrong with her. She felt a gust of wind that was comfortable and she fell asleep. This was really incredible.

"Where is Mrs. Hu?" Zhu'er glanced inadvertently and found that the person who was still sweeping the floor seriously before she fell asleep was gone.

"I don't know, and I didn't see her. I guess I'll go back to the house to sleep after cleaning."

Zhu'er originally asked casually, but after hearing the other maids say this, she didn't care. She stretched and prepared to go for a meal.

Everyone was walking away in sporadic places, and the only chance to ask for help was also lost. Hu felt sorry, but he was very glad that the tip of the knife on his neck was very heavy, and he could penetrate into his throat with a slight movement. She believed that she had already died before she could open her mouth.

The assassin forced Hu to tell the location of Qing Mingju. She was really unaware of it. She secretly complained in her heart. She asked several times but couldn't get the answer. The assassin finally lost his patience. He grabbed her chin and lifted it up. The cold tip of the knife was about to smear her neck, intending to kill someone to silence her mouth.

Feeling a chill in his neck, Mrs. Hu was completely panicked and struggled anxiously, "Wait for me to say, I'll say everything!"

"I don't have much patience."

"A secret is exchanged for a life. As long as the hero doesn't kill me, I will tell you."

"Threatening me?"

"It's not a threat, it's an exchange." Hu's wife gritted her teeth and simply said, "The one who has something to do with Miss Yan is not the eldest young master, but the third young master. If a hero wants to attack the eldest young master, it's better to go find the eldest young lady. They are brothers and sisters, and they are more important than Miss Yan."
