The night was like mist and rain, and the air seemed to be filled with a bloody smell. The darkness invisibly permeated every corner of the world. The sky was covered with thick clouds and the stars were dim and sparse...

A certain woman in the Zhao family yard sat uneasily at the head of the bed. She didn't dare to sleep, and she was too scared to even close her eyes for a moment. She looked around from time to time, as if she was afraid that something terrible would appear somewhere...

The shadows of the trees outside the window were cast by the moonlight, twisted and hideous outside the wooden window, as if they were twisted by some force in the darkness, like dry arms struggling and biting in the darkness, ready to drag people into the endless abyss at any time...

Suddenly, somewhere in the room seemed to be twisted by an invisible force. Then, a deep and strange voice sounded from the darkness. The voice seemed to come from deep underground. It was cold and ruthless. Every word was like a sharp needle, piercing the woman's heart, making her shudder with fear. The voice said, "Someone, knowing that she was the one who provoked someone before and ended up in a tragic way, with her body missing and disappearing without a trace...but she still repeated the same mistake. She was really angry that her gorgeous clothes were stolen. She was superficial and stupid. Or was there some other reason..."

The voice was faint, and the woman's eyes widened, and she saw a dark shadow in the darkness of the room. She couldn't see clearly inside, and her heartbeat was beating faster and faster at this time.

I just heard the voice continue -

"You slapped my desk twice during the day, hinting that I should show up tonight at midnight to find you. You took such a risk to find me, and made an act that was openly provocative but secretly asking for help. I think you must have guessed something, and in the courtyard of Zhao's Silang, you found me based on the little clues I missed. There should be very few people who are so smart... Moreover, in the tough and strict Zhao family, the woman did the same stupid thing, but did not get the same result. There must be something very special about her, something to rely on... I think that someone happened to give birth to the Zhao family's newest grandson and is still breastfeeding. No matter what, the Zhao family will not kill her at this time... You are the sister of Yinghong."

In the darkness, it was impossible to see Li Mo's entire appearance. If someone saw her at this moment, they would probably be scared to death in the night. Her body was covered in blood, and the huge wound on her throat kept bleeding. The blood dripped onto the ground drop by drop, forming a pool of blood...

She arrived on time, but did not let Yinghong's sister see her horrible appearance. Instead, she hid her body in deep darkness and talked to her in the corner of the room.

Otherwise, this woman would probably be so scared that she would be speechless.

The woman's hands were shaking, tears were streaming down her face, but she dared not say a word. She covered her mouth tightly with her shaking hands, as if she was suppressing some emotion. Her whole body was shaking like a leaf in the autumn wind. She cried silently for a long time, indulging herself in suppressing her fear for a long time before slowly letting go of her hand covering her mouth.

Her lips trembled, her face as pale as paper as she said: "Sister Jinglu is dead..."

After saying this, she even lowered her head somewhat powerlessly, as if just these few words had taken up all her strength.

"When did he die?"

"It's the second night after I gave birth."

"Did the Zhao family kill her?"

"No, she committed suicide."

Li Mo was silent.

Yinghong's younger sister continued, "No, it was not considered suicide... Sister Jinglu heard that something happened in the Fourth Young Master's courtyard on the night I gave birth, and someone died. She looked extremely unhappy, so she asked my sister about it. My sister said that the midwife and the middle steward had died. For some reason, she was very uneasy. That night, when the eldest young master was refining a weapon, the fire in the furnace suddenly became violent and was about to attack the young master. She rushed into the sea of ​​fire and used her life to gain the credit of saving the master, thus preserving her own life and status, and at the same time saving my sister..."

"When she died, she said something to my sister and asked her to take good care of her family. At that time, my sister knew that she wanted to commit suicide that night, but she used that method to protect her family. And my sister, because she was saved by her life, did not tell the young master about those words..."

Yinghong's sister, Zhao Silang's concubine Jindan, raised her eyes and looked towards the darkness where Limo was. She couldn't see Limo's expression, but her voice was trembling slightly, "Sister only told me about this, and I guessed some clues, so, I deliberately came to you even though I knew that the last concubine who made things difficult for you disappeared without a sound..."

"Because I want a way to survive, a way for me and my child to survive..." As he spoke, his voice became more and more trembling...

"What did you guess?"

"People say that you are the evil woman who brought disaster to the four princes of the Zhao family, but I know that you are not that simple. First, you did this but you were not hurt at all, so the Zhao family did not kill you. Second, no one found you after that night and discovered you... This shows that you are very powerful and have great means, and you are definitely not as weak and ordinary as you look now."

Li Mo stared at her face.

Zhao Qingren's two personal maids were not ordinary smart women. Although Jinglu looked cute and innocent on the surface, she was determined to sacrifice her life for the safety of her family. It was obvious that she was very strong-minded. Yinghong, who was promoted by Zhao Qingren of the Zhao family, was also a very smart woman.

The woman in front of me is Yinghong’s sister, and I’m afraid she is not an ordinary person either.

She was able to enter Zhao Silang's room as a concubine, and gain a foothold with the help of the child. She was able to guess the whole picture from a small part and guessed Li Mo's hidden secret. She also boldly came to her, ostensibly to make things difficult but actually to ask for help. All these actions also showed that she was an extremely bold and intelligent woman.

So she slowly asked, "Is there something wrong with your child? That's why you took the risk of finding a stranger like me?"

Jindan was stunned. She thought Limo's first question would be what Jinglu said before he died, but she actually asked the most core question - what happened to her child?

Yes, if there was nothing wrong with her child, how could she, a concubine of the Zhao family, risk seeking help from a stranger with unknown origins and unpredictable strength?

Jin Dan bit her lip and said, "Why don't you ask what Sister Jinglu said? Let me guess that you are the expert who killed people on the night of the accident."

"What did she say?"

"Before she died, she told my sister that she was sorry to her sister and to me, and that she would not live long anyway...but she also asked my sister to take care of her family."

In the Zhao family, Jinglu just let slip a word, which was a huge disaster for her, and she must die. That's why Jinglu was so panicked, afraid that the matter would be exposed. She saved Zhao Qingren's life, and even if it was revealed that the incident that night was caused by her mistake, at least she could save the lives of her family, and Yinghong's care would increase the weight of her family's safety and smoothness.

She is worthy of being Zhao Qingren’s personal maid.

But the one who might be smarter than Genglu is the woman in front of him.

She guessed what happened just from Genglu's "I'm sorry" and took a gamble by going to her house to ask for "help".

As for the shadow red, it is unknown whether she did not guess it or guessed it but pretended not to know and covered it up with the stem green.

Li Mo finally asked, "What do you want?"
