And the other side.

Mo Qitian also received the news that Di Xiaotian was coming to the imperial city.

Inside the Black Feather Pavilion.

Ye Feng knelt on one knee on the ground, holding the note taken from the pigeon in his hand, and handed it respectfully to Mo Qitian.

"My Lord, this is for you."

Mo Qitian lowered his eyes to take a look, then stretched out his hand and slowly took it.

He unfolded the note, and saw a few large characters written in a flamboyant style: "Xiao is coming, Moonlight Inn."

He was so scared that he threw the note in his hand away.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Ye Feng flashed to his side.

"Go, take this note and feed it to the dogs!"

Night Breeze: ???

Do dogs eat it?

"Why don't you go quickly?"

Ye Feng came to his senses and quickly squatted down to pick it up.

When his eyes fell on the words above, his eyes widened.

At this moment, he felt it was hot in his hand.

"Yes, I'll go right away and find a wolfhound to force it in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately walked out of the room.

Mo Qitian took a sip of tea and shouted to the outside of the door, "Bai Yu, come in."

After a while, Bai Yu pushed open the door.

Seeing Mo Qitian drinking tea, he thought of Ye Feng's expression when he just went out, and couldn't help but think that Mo Qitian had encountered some difficult problems.

"Go find some handsome men."

Bai Yu was shocked.

"My Lord, do you want it?"

Mo Qitian nodded.

Bai Yu pulled at his collar.

damned.

He has been following Mo Qitian for nearly ten years. How come this guy developed such a habit after getting married?

Are the rumors true?

"My Lord, what type do you want?"

"Tall, short, fat, thin?"

He raised his eyes calmly and said slowly, "Bring one of each kind. If you want the girl to be more feminine, send her to the Moonlight Inn."

Bai Yu was shocked.

Has the Lord come to this point?

"Also, at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet tomorrow, keep an eye on the Crown Prince."

"People from the other four countries will probably be here soon. The Imperial City will not be peaceful during this period, so don't let any news leak out."

"Yes, my lord."

After giving these instructions, Bai Yu left immediately, making an excuse that he had something to do.

Your Excellency has killed many people, and he is a vulgar person for doing such a thing, yet he chose such an elegant place.

It turns out that my wife is the one who suits him!

There is no benefit in being favored by the Lord.

He felt sorry for Lu Shiwan, but he couldn't tell her about it.

-

And a small courtyard in the imperial city.

Aunt Liu brought a large pot of porridge and sent it to the pigpen.

When the little pig inside saw its owner bringing food, it quickly ran to the stone platform and waited.

Putting a large pot of pig food on the stone platform, Aunt Liu took a look and turned back into the house.

Not long after she left, a beggar in tattered clothes ran out from a small shabby house nearby.

The color of his clothes was hard to discern, and there was not a single spot of him that was visible because of how dirty he was.

There was a disgusting smell on his body, and his messy black hair was like weeds, mixed with his scraggly beard, which had already concealed his appearance.

He hunched over and ran towards the pigpen.

His sudden appearance startled the pig, which squealed twice and ran inside.

Seeing this, the beggar jumped into the pigpen and directly snatched the pigs' food.

When Aunt Liu heard the pigs squealing, she hurried out of the house. When she saw the beggar had snatched food from her pigs, she was so angry that she picked up a broom from the door and ran towards the pigpen.

He was still swearing.

"Fang Zhengxiang, you beast! How dare you steal pig food?"

"Look, I won't beat you to death."

Aunt Liu was so angry that she stood beside him, took out a broom and hit him in the face.

When the beggar saw something hitting him, he would refuse to let go to protect his food.

Aunt Lin was even more furious when she saw this. She stepped into the pigpen and kicked Fang Zhengxiang directly, "Beat you to death, you beast!"

"I rescued you out of kindness, but you dared to steal the pig food I raised!"

"If the pig dies of hunger, I will skin you alive!"

"what."

"what"

"what"

Since Fang Zhengxiang was beaten in the cell, he returned to the Shangshu Mansion with injuries and wanted to recuperate. Unexpectedly, he was beaten by Lu Shiwan again and was then kicked out of the Shangshu Mansion.

Now my body is already broken, my arms have no strength, and my feet can't walk properly.

He was beaten by Aunt Liu like this. When Aunt Liu was tired of beating him, she let him go and walked into the house.

The maid felt very distressed when she saw her like this.

"Madam, just drive this kind of person away. Why make yourself suffer?"

Aunt Liu glanced at her and said, "He helped the tyrant to commit atrocities and killed my child. How can I tolerate such a deep hatred?"

When she said this, her eyes turned red and she threw the broom on the ground.

"My child is a living person. He doted on Aunt Lin and helped Aunt Lin to kill my child."

"If I don't take revenge, I will never be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

“How can I see my children a hundred years from now?”

Ah Tao couldn't bear to continue talking, so she stood beside her and smoothed her back.

"Madam, she is an enemy of the Lu family. Wouldn't it be better if we handed her over to the Lu family?"

"Given the Lu family's hatred for him, they will definitely kill him."

Aunt Liu wiped her tears and choked up, "The Lu family is now in its heyday. If they wanted to kill him, they would have killed him long ago. There must be a reason why they didn't do it now."

"In this case, even if we send it to them, they won't appreciate it."

"But madam, if anything happens to him here, we will not be able to escape responsibility. Murder must be punished by death. If the government investigates, I'm afraid you will be implicated." A Tao was worried.

Aunt Liu sneered.

"Pursuit?"

"A Tao, this world has always been unfair. If those officials of the imperial court killed someone, have you ever seen them held accountable?"

Ah Tao was silent.

"A Tao, I know you are doing this for my own good. You have been with me for so many years, and I am no longer your concubine. If I find the right person, I will marry you."

"You shouldn't have been delayed by me."

Ah Tao had tears in her eyes. She was given to the aunt by the master. If she had not followed the aunt all these years but followed other masters, she might have died long ago.

The aunt never scolded her for no reason, unlike Aunt Lin, who would beat and scold the servants at every turn.

"lady."

"Okay, don't call me Madam from now on. Call me Sister Liu instead."

Ah Tao nodded, "Yes, Sister Liu."

She then walked into the house and took out the yellowed indenture from the dressing table in front of A Tao.

A "tear" sound.

The paper was torn in two.

Aunt Liu tore it into pieces and threw it into the trash can at her feet.

"From now on, you are free. Tomorrow I will accompany you to the government office to handle the procedures for changing your nationality."

Ah Tao couldn't bear it any longer, and knelt down at Aunt Liu's feet and shouted:

"lady."

"How could this servant have deserved to meet a master like you?"

Maids in the Qian Dynasty were divided into two categories.

The first class is of low status, with their bodies indentured to their masters.

One type is free, but because of their poor family, they have to find a job for money.

The first type of maid is of much lower status than the second type, and they can even die without a reason. Maybe the master is in a bad mood, or maybe something does not meet the master's expectations.

But no matter which one it is, once you become a maid, your fate is no longer in your own hands. Even if it is the second type, the master has thousands of reasons to kill you.

A Tao cried.

He hugged Aunt Liu and cried his heart out.

She understood that Aunt Liu's humble and submissive attitude towards Aunt Hua and Aunt Lin was just to lower their vigilance, to survive, and to avenge the child in her belly.
