Start Six Maids

Stepping to the door, Chu Ci slammed the door.

boom! boom! boom!

squeak-

After a while, the locked door was opened from the inside.

An old man with gray hair came out from the door.

"Who are you?"

The old man carefully looked at Chu Ci and the others.

Chu Ci cupped his hands and said, "Chu Ci, the bronze medalist in the strange situation, come to pay a visit to Mr. Tan!"

"The strange place?!"

The old man was shocked when he heard the words, then nodded and said, "Please wait a moment in the side room, sir, and let the old man report to the Patriarch."

Chu Ci stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "The old man is easy."

The old man led Chu Ci and the others to a side room, and after they settled down, they turned and left.

The back residence of the Tan Mansion.

Tan Chenglu was sitting opposite a beautiful woman with a dignified appearance.

"Ma'am, I have a happy event to tell you!"

Tan Chenglu's eyes shone with joy.

The beautiful woman looked at Tan Chenglu suspiciously, and asked aloud, "What makes your husband so happy?"

Tan Chenglu took the beautiful woman's hand and said, "In a few days, we will be able to move to Cross Street!"

"really?!"

The beautiful woman showed surprise on her face, "This is what His Royal Highness Xian Wang said?"

Cross Street is not an ordinary place, if you want to settle in Cross Street, you must get King Xian's approval.

The judicial position held by Tan Chenglu is only a small official position in Xiancheng, and it is a thousand miles away from the level of Xianwang!

On weekdays, Tan Chenglu seldom even saw King Xian's face, let alone get King Xian's affirmation.

That's why the beautiful woman was so shocked.

"it is true!"

Excitement appeared on Tan Chenglu's face, and he said excitedly, "Just this morning, I received a letter from His Royal Highness Xian Wang!"

"His Royal Highness said that I can move into Cross Street someday!"

"Other than that, all expenses will be paid by Prince Xian's Mansion!"

The beautiful woman also showed excitement on her face when she heard the words.

"Great!"

"Husband, His Royal Highness Xian has treated you so well, you must repay His Highness Xian Wang well!"

Tan Chenglu nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice, "You treat me as a gentleman of the country, and I will repay you as a soldier of the country!"

Hearing Tan Chenglu's answer, the beautiful woman breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, I did not misjudge the person, my husband is still the same tautological and trustworthy person from before!

"but···"

The beautiful woman's excited mood calmed down, but another doubt arose in her heart.

"Husband, is there something strange about this matter?"

Tan Chenglu was taken aback when he heard the words, "How strange?"

The beautiful woman frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "My husband has served as a judge for several years, why did His Highness King Xian suddenly allow my husband to live in Shizijie today?"

The beautiful woman glanced at Tan Chenglu, and then said, "My concubine has something to say, husband, don't mind."

"Although my husband has been working hard for many years, he has not made any outstanding achievements."

"And even if it's based on seniority, shouldn't your husband be awarded this honor?"

As soon as the beautiful woman finished speaking, Tan Chenglu froze in place.

"Husband?"

The beautiful woman tentatively asked, "Are you not angry?"

Tan Chenglu came back to her senses, looked at the worried lady and said, "Madam, I'm fine."

"I just···"

Tan Chenglu smiled wryly and shook his head, "I just don't dare to think about it!"

After finishing speaking, Tan Chenglu took both hands of the beautiful woman.

"Madam, isn't it your long-cherished wish to move into Cross Street?"

"Now that His Royal Highness Xian Wang has agreed, why do you want to do so much?"

A look of worry flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes, and she murmured, "I'm just afraid..."

Benedict!Benedict!Benedict!

A knock on the door interrupted the beautiful woman's words.

"Master, madam."

"Just now a man and three women came to visit outside the mansion."

"That man claims to be the Bronze Medalist of the Deceitful Love Department!"

The voice of the old butler came from outside the door.

Tan Chenglu was startled when he heard the words, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Why did the people from the strange situation come back to the house?!"

The beautiful woman stretched out her hand to push Tan Chenglu, and said, "Husband, don't worry about this for now."

"Let them in quickly!"

Tan Chenglu came to his senses when he heard the reminder.

"Yep!"

"Forbe, let them in!"

Hearing Tan Chenglu's order, the old butler replied aloud, "Yes!"

"I'm going to let them know!"

The footsteps of the old butler gradually moved away, and Tan Chenglu and the beautiful lady in the room also straightened their clothes and sat on the chairs.

In the partial room.

Chuci and the others waited for the tea time, when the old butler walked in.

"Several adults!"

The old butler cupped his hands and said, "My master invites you to the main hall to have a talk!"

Chu Ci and the others stood up and followed the old housekeeper to the hall of the back house.

"Chuci, the bronze medal in the strange situation, I have met Mr. Tan!"

Chu Ci came to the lobby and saw Tan Chenglu sitting on the seat.

"Take the liberty to come to visit, and I hope Mr. Tan will not blame you."

Hearing this, Tan Chenglu hurriedly stood up, and stretched out her hand to signal, "Where is Master Chu? If you came to visit him, but you never greeted him from afar, I should be the one to apologize."

A smile appeared on Chu Ci's face, and he said, "Master Tan, let's not be polite, let's talk about something serious!"

"Okay." Tan Chenglu was taken aback, she didn't expect Chu Ci to be so direct.

"My lord, please sit down!"

Tan Chenglu invited Chuci and the others to sit down, then turned to the beautiful woman and said, "Madam, go and make a pot of good tea for the adults!"

The beautiful woman nodded, got up and left the room.

Tan Chenglu's eyes turned around on several people, and finally fell on Chu Ci.

"Lord Chu."

"I don't know why you came here this time?"

Benedict!Benedict!

Chu Ci tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Let's wait for Madam Zun to come back."

"This···"

Tan Chenglu was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect that it was related to her wife.

"Alright."

"Lord Chu, wait for a while, Madam will come back as soon as she goes."

Chapter 456 Take it away!

The speed of the beautiful woman is very fast.

After a while, he made tea and returned to the hall.

"Several adults, please taste and taste."

The beautiful woman poured the tea and placed it in front of Chu Ci and the others.

"Thank you ma'am!"

Chu Ci took the teacup and nodded slightly in thanks.

When the beautiful woman sat on the seat again, Tan Chenglu asked Chu Ci again.

"May I ask what Master Chu is doing this trip?"

Chu Ci pointed at the beautiful woman and said, "This matter is related to Mrs. Zun!"

"what?!"

Tan Chenglu was taken aback for a moment, then his face darkened.

"Maybe Chu made a mistake?"

"My wife is just an ordinary woman who takes care of her husband and children every day, and has never violated discipline at all, let alone has anything to do with the strange situation!"

The beautiful woman was also stunned, not understanding why Chu Ci was looking for her.

Seeing this, Chu Ci showed a smile on his face, and said softly, "Master Tan, please don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Chu Ci looked at the beautiful woman and asked, "Madam, have you been to the underground auction on Cross Street a few days ago?"

"This···"

The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I did go to the underground auction at the invitation of my friend."

"But it's my first time going there, so there's nothing out of the ordinary?"

Chu Ci continued to ask, "Then Madam also bid for the right to employ a follower of Xianzhu Kingdom?"

The beautiful woman's complexion changed slightly when she heard the words, and she said in a deep voice, "There is indeed such a thing!"

"My lord, what I'm bidding on is only the right to employ people, and there is no human trafficking involved!"

"My friend can also prove this!"

The beautiful woman was worried that the purpose of Chu Ci's visit this time was to investigate the human trafficking.

After all, this is absolutely not allowed by the Longyan Empire.

Chu Ci shook his head slightly, and said, "Madam is too worried."

"I'm not here to investigate human trafficking."
