Oops, the male villain looked at me with affection in his eyes

The last ray of glow in the sky receded, and the main courtyard of Prince Rui's Mansion gradually became quiet.

Shiliu packed up the new pear wood carved bed in the main house in shock. She raised her eyes and looked around. After seeing that everything was packed, she quickly walked out of the house.

At noon, Haitang dragged her tired body back to the room, smiled and said to Shiliu: "Shiliu, everything is settled in the main house, and the furniture has been changed now. Just go and clean up. I'll take a nap first." ."

The disgusting smell of the morning lingered in her nose for a long time, and she irritably took the basin to the well to fetch water.

I don’t know if Sister Haitang has gone back to rest. Such a big thing happened in the past two days, and she was the one responsible for it. Shiliu was filled with gratitude.

After washing myself, I will bring some water back and give my sister a wash too.

Pomegranate and Begonia came to the well every day to fetch water, so she put the bucket into the well without thinking.

But the strange thing is that today, the bucket was put down twice and no water came out.

Pomegranate put the bucket aside and looked into the water doubtfully.

The pink and white dress covered the water, and the long black hair was scattered among the pink and white.

Pomegranate blinked, screamed and fell to the ground.

That, that was clearly a woman just like him, standing suspended in the well.

She looked at the dress of the same color she was wearing, and a flash of knowledge flashed through her mind, forcing her to scream again.

The guards of the palace rushed over quickly. Seeing Shiliu's frightened look, everyone lit torches, illuminating the well above and below.

Qian Dongwen quickly came over, stepped forward and looked at him and said, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you get the person out!"

The guards hurriedly lifted the people out of the well.

When Pomegranate saw Haitang's pale face, she couldn't control her tears anymore. She covered her mouth and started crying.

When Haitang called him in the afternoon, a relieved smile flashed in his mind.

Pomegranate crawled up to Haitang and cried in disbelief: "Begonia, Haitang! My good sister, what's wrong with you? Why did you leave so quickly?!"

Qian Dong looked at Pomegranate, who was about to cry, and then looked at the hands held by the two of them, and said calmly: "This little girl is really good. She has good food and good clothes in the palace. Can't she live a good life? She has to do whatever she wants. Suicide?"

Pomegranate cried for a while: "That's it...sister, can't you live a good life? Why do you want to commit suicide?!"

Haitang's kind voice sounded in her mind: "Good sister, what I saw today is just a dream. When you wake up from the dream, just forget about it. Do you understand?"

"Sister, I'm fine. Butler Qian said that after this incident, he will let me out of the house. I will no longer have to wait on others and live my life based on their looks."

Haitang's yearning words were still ringing in her ears, and Pomegranate lay on Haitang's cold body and cried until her heart broke.

It wasn't until the guards knocked her out that everyone became silent.

Qian Dong looked at Haitang's body and waved lightly to the guards: "It's so pitiful, take it to the mass grave in the west of the city and throw it away."

Then he pointed to the unconscious Pomegranate on the ground and ordered: "Carry her back to her residence."

The guards came forward, carried the crabapple, and threw it on the carriage that had been waiting at the side door. Then they carried the pomegranate back to the residence and threw it on the couch.

And all of this was seen clearly by a pair of eyes hiding in the distance.

Ye Zhongming saw that the little maid was thrown on the couch and no one cared about her. He slowly approached Shiliu's room.

The moonlight is slanting in the west, and the night snacks on the trees are cooing, which is a bit miserable and a bit desolate.

When Pomegranate woke up, she saw a tall man in black standing with his back to the bright window.

Xu was frightened one after another, and Pomegranate looked blankly at the figure in front of the window and slowly turned around.

Through the bright moonlight, Pomegranate could clearly see the appearance of the visitor.

The person who came was tall and imposing, with a deep streak of blood on his forehead, making him look a little sinister.

Shiliu looked at the other party who was dressed similarly to the guards in the mansion, and her eyes instantly filled with horror.

Seeing the fear in Shiliu's eyes, Ye Zhongming took a step forward and said, "Girl, don't panic, let's hear what Ye has to say first."

Pomegranate looked at the knife hanging on the opponent's waist, with tears in her eyes, and nodded slowly.

Ye Zhongming tried his best to show a kind smile: "I know that you were friendly with that girl Haitang, and I also know why she died. Let me ask you, do you believe that she committed suicide?"

Pomegranate's tears could no longer be controlled and flowed down silently.

Haitang's voice came to mind again: "Of course it's true. When I leave the house, I will find a down-to-earth person to marry. I don't know how sweet the life will be then."

Shiliu bit her lip and said bitterly: "Sister, I even planned the date of leaving the house, so how could I commit suicide for no reason?"

Ye Zhongming nodded: "Let me ask you again, if you can avenge Miss Haitang, are you willing to appear in court to testify?"

Shiliu was startled. She raised her eyes and looked at Ye Zhongming in disbelief.

Testify against whom? This is the palace of Prince Rui. How could her little maid dare to appear in court to testify against the prince?

Ye Zhongming said: "To be honest with you girl, I am the commander of the bodyguards of Prince Gong's residence, Ye Zhongming. If the girl is willing to come forward and testify, Ye can take her out of the house tonight."

Shiliu paused and her voice trembled: "Where is Haitang? Where did they send Haitang?"

Ye Zhongming said: "Qian Dong ordered people to send her to the mass grave in the west of the city."

Pomegranate's sadness comes from this: Sister Haitang is calm and neat, guarding the secret for them, but in the end she ends up dead without a burial place. How is her current situation different from hers?

With his own brain, he is afraid that a flaw will be exposed in a few days and lead to death.

Seeing that Shiliu's expression had relaxed, Ye Zhongming took a step forward and said, "Haitang kept this secret for them and did so much, but in the end it just ended up with her slipping and falling into the water. What about you, girl?"

"Have you ever thought about how they will treat you when they know that you know the truth?"

Pomegranate covered her mouth and cried.

Ye Zhongming was silent and said: "If the girl agrees to go to court to correct her, then Ye will guarantee the girl's safety in the future."

Pomegranate stopped crying, bit her lip and said, "But I don't know what exactly happened."

Ye Zhongming said: "You only need to tell what you saw with your own eyes, and there is no need to think too much about the rest."

Shiliu looked at Ye Zhongming and slowly sat up straight.

Haitang's proud smile when she won the guessing game, her face crying secretly under the moonlight, her face in the main room barely holding on to a smile, her voice, appearance, and smile flashed alternately in front of Pomegranate's eyes, and finally settled on her wet and pale face under the moonlight. .

Shiliu wiped away her tears and finally made up her mind. She turned over and bowed to Ye Zhongming: "My slave Shiliu, I am willing to listen to Commander Ye's orders."

Ye Zhongming said calmly: "Pack your things and I will take you away."

That night, Pomegranate was led by Ye Zhongming all the way from Prince Rui's Mansion to Prince Gong's Mansion.

It was not until late at night that Shiliu withdrew from Shen Lanqing's study and was arranged to live in a side room in the guest house.
