Liu Yueru looked at the two little ones who were sweating and blushing, and told Mother Yan to take them back to the village to avoid the summer heat.

I turned around and looked at Chen Mingyuan behind me and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Mingyuan stretched out his hand and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, saying, "I was in a hurry to leave just now and didn't bring anything with me. I wanted to ask Madam Liu for some water to drink."

Ye Tao looked at Chen Mingyuan unkindly and said, "These are not our wife's business. If you want to drink water, you can ask Uncle Fu for it, or ask the maids who are responsible for delivering water to the fields."

Liu Yueru didn't want to have too much involvement with those men, so she turned around and was about to leave.

But Chen Mingyuan refused to give up and said, "They all have their own kettles, but I don't."

He also saw Ye Tao's hostility towards her and Liu Yueru's guard against him, and then smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else. We farmers are all honest and decent. It's just that it's too hot and I want to drink some water."

Liu Yueru saw that the weather was really hot and was afraid of getting heat stroke in the field, so she nodded half-believingly and said, "Come with me."

This time Chen Mingyuan learned his lesson and stayed a little further away from Liu Yueru. He kept a distance and followed Liu Yueru all the way to the village.

Ye Tao glared at the other person fiercely, turned around, took out a bowl from the one she had prepared in advance and placed it on the table not far from Chen Mingyuan.

The other party took the bowl, said thank you and didn't stay for long. He poured two full bowls of tea, drank it, turned around and went back to the fields.

Ye Tao looked at Chen Ming's back as he walked away, feeling vaguely uneasy. She said to Liu Yueru, "Madam, that man doesn't look like a good person. Madam, you'd better be careful and say less to him."

Liu Yueru nodded in agreement.

After lunch, Uncle Fu spread straw mats under the shade of the trees for the servants to rest. There were seventy or eighty people, and there was not enough space under the shade of the trees to lie down, so Liu Yueru kept two side rooms for them and gave the remaining rooms and the hall to the people who were working.

There were people lying everywhere, and Liu Yueru also took the two little ones to rest.

Maybe they were tired from running in the fields, the two little guys fell asleep quickly and soundly.

Just when Liu Yueru was also drowsy.

Suddenly, Ye Tao's stern voice was heard outside: "This is my wife's bedroom, what are you doing sneaking here?"

Chen Mingyuan's voice was obviously a little flustered as he said, "I came here to return this bowl to Madam Liu."

"How dare you! Don't use these excuses to fool me. My lady is kind-hearted and I believe you, but I am not so easy to fool. Don't think I don't know the little thoughts in your mind. Since I gave you this bowl, I have no intention of taking it back. If you still want to work here, just leave quickly." Ye Tao's displeased voice sounded.

Seeing that his plan was ruined by Ye Tao, Chen Mingyuan gave her a fierce look.

The voice was gloomy and said, "You are just a servant, a lowly slave. How different from us common people? How dare you yell at me here? Just wait, when I become successful, I will be the first one to deal with you." Chen Mingyuan's true nature was exposed and he cursed Ye Tao viciously.

Ye Tao was slightly stunned. It was the first time she experienced what it meant to be a troublemaker.

Looking at Chen Mingyuan's back as he quickly left, he felt angry and anxious.

He thought that if he had not been guarding here, that scoundrel would have broken in and his wife's reputation would have been ruined by him.

Think about this.

Ye Tao felt a chill down her spine.

He sat back in his chair, his eyes wide open, not daring to relax for a moment.

It was not until Lixia came to take over the shift that Ye Tao dared to go to another room to take a short rest.

It took a long time for Liu Yueru in the room to feel sleepy again.

But in her dream, she heard someone pushing her and shouting anxiously, "Madam, wake up, Ye Tao is gone."

"What?" Liu Yueru suddenly sat up from the bed when she heard the last sentence.

Thinking of the harsh words Chen Mingyuan had said to Ye Tao just now, she immediately said to Mother Yan beside her: "Go and bring Chen Mingyuan and that old man Chen here. You and Lixia take people out and search around here, quickly."

Liu Yueru lifted the quilt on her body, quickly put on her shoes, and got up to go out.

At this time, Uncle Fu had already taken his people to the fields and started working.

The courtyard was already empty.

Mother Yan asked people to look for them but couldn't find Old Chen and Chen Mingyuan. I remember Mother Yan went to look for a few more people underground and went to look around together.

After searching around, no one could find Ye Tao.

Liu Yueru's heart was instantly lifted.

Zhang Liang, who was at the edge of the field, saw what was happening on Liu Yueru's side, then looked around the crowd and saw that Old Chen and Chen Mingyuan were long gone, and his brows furrowed.

He dropped what he was holding and ran towards Old Chen and his family's home.

Zhang Liang and Old Chen were old acquaintances and he knew their personalities very well.

Just now he faintly heard Mother Yan say that the personal maid who followed Madam Liu was missing, and he thought that it must be that maid who ruined their good fortune.

Then he secretly kidnapped the person.

Think of this.

Zhang Liang cursed in his heart.

He first went to Old Chen's newly built house, but couldn't find anyone there, so he went to Old Chen's old house to look for him.

The house was remote and the houses nearby had long been uninhabited.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Mother Yan was still searching anxiously.

Liu Yueru asked Uncle Fu to stop what he was doing and take those people to find Ye Tao's whereabouts.

The strange thing is that they turned the entire area upside down but couldn't find Ye Tao and Chen Mingyuan.

A little boy suddenly appeared among the crowd and came to Liu Yueru with a piece of rice paper.

She said in a milky voice, "Madam, someone asked me to give this to you."

Liu Yueru didn't have time to think about it. She took the rice paper in her hand and looked at it. After seeing the contents clearly, Liu Yueru's expression changed suddenly.

She reached out and took the little boy's hand and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

The little boy looked in the direction he had just come from and said, "Ma'am, follow me."

He took Liu Yueru's hand and walked back.

Mother Yan and Lixia followed closely behind, but were stopped by Liu Yueru, who said, "You all stay here and look after Yan'er and Hua'er."

After saying this, she looked in the direction of the secret guards.

Then he followed the little boy.

The two of them walked around the winding path for a long time.

A woman's terrified scream came from not far away.

Liu Yueru's breathing stagnated and her steps quickened.

Then came the voice of a man with a lewd smile.

Ye Tao cried and begged, "You, what do you want to do? If my wife finds out, you slaves will die miserably."

"Snapped!"

"what!"

"boom!"

"........."
