When Hu Haotian saw the scene, he reached out his hand without hesitation and stopped the big man from forcing the girl.

The big man obviously didn't expect that someone would dare to stop him, and an angry look appeared on his face. However, when he looked up and saw Hu Haotian, he noticed the clothes he was wearing, and immediately realized that this man was not someone he could afford to provoke.

\"You're lucky!" After saying this, the big man hurried away with his brothers.

Hu Haotian looked at their receding backs, his eyes became deep and complicated, and he secretly thought about going back to investigate the identities and backgrounds of these people.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at the girl. Her tearful eyes and pitiful appearance made people feel pity.

Hu Haotian couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in his heart, but he quickly suppressed the feeling and asked softly: "Girl, are you okay? Do you need my help?"

"Thank you very much for your help, sir. I will never forget it. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid my old father and I would have been left dead in the wilderness. I am willing to serve you like a slave, and I only ask that you can help me bury my old father so that he can rest in peace." The girl lowered her head, tears streaming down her eyes. Her pitiful appearance moved countless men around her to pity her.

Hu Haotian looked at the girl in front of him, but he had a little doubt in his heart. This girl's appearance was too strange, and she just kept asking him to help bury her father, but she didn't say a word about other things. Could it be that there was some conspiracy? But looking at the girl again, she didn't do anything, just kneeling there honestly, and seemed to have no ill intentions.

Hu Haotian thought: In this case, why not keep her by my side and observe for a while. If she really has bad intentions, it won't be too late to get rid of her then; but if she is just an ordinary girl, it would be fine to keep her by my side like a dodder. Thinking of this, Hu Haotian said: "Miss, please get up. Since you have nowhere to go, why don't you follow me back to the mansion first. As for your father's funeral, I will take care of it properly."

After hearing Hu Haotian's words, the girl was filled with gratitude and kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude. Then, she followed Hu Haotian and left the place, heading towards the city. Along the way, the girl was silent, only occasionally looking up at Hu Haotian's back, with a face full of gratitude.

Hu Haotian secretly looked at the girl, trying to find some clues from her words and actions, but unfortunately, she looked for a long time and could not see the slightest abnormality in her expression.

His mansion was not too far from here, and they arrived at their destination in no time. After entering the mansion, he immediately sent his men to arrange a decent funeral for the girl's father and bury him properly. Then, he called a maid and ordered her to take the girl to the room specially prepared for her to rest.

It is worth mentioning that the room where the girl lived was right next to his own bedroom. In this way, he could observe her every move closely and judge whether she had any ill intentions or malicious intent.

Although she had successfully sneaked into Hu's house, the actual situation was not optimistic. This was because the man was obviously very smart and cunning, and he did not completely trust her true identity. If he really sent someone to investigate, it would not take long for her disguise and true identity to be exposed.

Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled slyly and thought to herself, "That man is indeed very smart, but I am definitely not an ordinary person! How could I not think of these situations?"

It turned out that the burly man was deliberately arranged by her. Not only that, in order to make others believe it, she also found a girl who sold herself to bury her father. The girl's figure and appearance were quite similar to hers. She paid the girl a sum of money and helped her bury her father properly. Now, the girl has left peacefully, far away from this Jiangnan area.

As for the corpse she used to pretend to be her father, it was a human form she created with the help of wood through magic. With such a lifelike method, even if the man was smart and capable, it would be difficult for him to find out her true identity!

After being brought to the room, Qing Ning sat quietly by the bed, her beautiful hands trembling slightly as she gently held the hem of her skirt. She raised her head and looked around in panic, as if she was full of fear and uneasiness about this unfamiliar environment. Deep in her bright eyes, there was a glimmer of crystal tears, as if they could roll down at any time.

At this time, a clever maid came in with a plate of exquisite cakes and gently placed it on the table. Then, she stood quietly aside, looking at the beautiful and mysterious woman in front of her curiously and carefully.

"Miss, are you hungry? These are the pastries that my master specially asked me to bring to you. It's not time for dinner yet, so you can eat a little first to fill your stomach." The maid said softly, her tone revealing her concern for Qing Ning.

Qing Ning nodded slightly to express her gratitude. She stood up carefully, walked slowly to the table and sat down. Then, she reached out her hand, picked up a piece of cake, and gently put it into her mouth. The cake was sweet and delicious, with a delicate taste, which greatly satisfied her taste buds.

At this moment, Qing Ning temporarily forgot her worries and fears and immersed herself in the pleasure brought by the food. However, she was still shrouded in a shadow deep in her heart, not knowing how her future would develop.

Seeing how fast the girl ate the cakes, you knew she must be starving. Although the girl might not know much etiquette, at least she wasn't to the point of eating in an ugly way or wolfing down the food.

Considering the task assigned by the adults, she continued to observe the woman in front of her quietly, as if she wanted to confirm something from her.

Qing Ning, who was eating pastries, looked starving on the surface, but in fact, she had already started planning her next course of action.

Since she was going to use the beauty trap to seduce Lord Hu, she had to find a way to make him fall in love with her. It seemed that she needed to secretly find out what he liked, so that she could put it into action more conveniently.

Needless to say, the maid standing next to her was the one sent to monitor her, but unfortunately she was of no use to her.

Through today's meticulous observation, the meticulous Qing Ning knew very well that this man was definitely not as simple as he seemed, and it would certainly not be an easy task to conquer him. However, based on the information obtained by the guards, it can be inferred that this man must have a huge amount of important information in his hands!

At this moment, another maid walked into the room cautiously. When she saw the graceful and beautiful girl in front of her, she was completely stunned!

She had heard that the master had brought back a beautiful woman who looked like a fairy. She had originally thought that the guards were just talking nonsense and deliberately exaggerating the facts to attract attention. However, she never expected that these words were not false at all, and were even a little conservative! This woman's appearance was simply stunning, stunning, and the word "extremely beautiful" seemed a little pale and powerless to describe her.

"Why did Sister Qiuhong come here in person? Did the adults give any special instructions?" Sister Lvliu asked in surprise.

"That's right, Sister Luliu. My Lord sent me here specifically to ask if you need anything. As long as you ask, I will go and get it immediately to ensure that your needs are met. My Lord also specifically instructed that you must never let her suffer any grievances." Sister Qiuhong replied gently.

Hearing these words, Qing Ning slowly raised her head, an expression of great gratitude on her face.

"Miss Qiuhong, you are so thoughtful. In fact, I have always wanted to express my gratitude to the adult in person. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to meet the adult? I really hope to personally thank him for saving my life." Qing Ning said sincerely.

"My lord will certainly know Miss Qingning's intentions. But now he is busy meeting guests and may not be available until a little later. When you need the fan later, the girl will be able to see you naturally." Sister Qiuhong explained patiently.

Qing Ning nodded slightly to show her understanding. She knew that the adults were of noble status and busy with affairs, but deep in her heart she was still full of expectations and gratitude.

Seeing her so well-behaved, the two maids couldn't help but secretly admire her. They knew that this young lady was not as curious as others, asking too much about the whereabouts of the adults; nor did she have any unrealistic and unreasonable expectations. This made the two maids like her a little more, and they couldn't help but nod secretly to express their approval and satisfaction.

After the two maids left the room, Qing Ning slowly put down the cakes in her hand. She walked to the door lightly, carefully pushed the door open a crack, and after making sure that no one was outside, she took out an invisibility talisman from her bosom and gently stuck it on herself. After completing these preparations, Qing Ning tiptoed out of the room and walked towards the door of Mr. Hu's study.

When she arrived at the door of the study, as she expected, she heard two men's voices coming from inside. Qing Ning stopped and stood there quietly, listening to the conversation inside.
