The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

"What did you encounter today?" Mrs. You was suspicious because her son rarely had nightmares. After comforting her son, she called the people in the yard.

Xue He took a step forward and told the truth: "Madam, when I was taking the young master to the foot of the mountain today, I met Shi Ping..."

It was expected that Shi Ping was a stubborn person. If he had not died in the mountains after being beaten like that, he would probably have come back to extort money from others.

This matter concerns the young master, so it cannot be kept secret. The lady must know about it.

"Shi Ping, humph! You are so brave!"

As Mrs. You listened, a fire built up in her chest and she already had a plan in her mind.

However, she also knew Shi Ping's character and thought that he was a dog-skin plaster that would be hard to get rid of once he got on her. After pondering for a moment, she asked Xue He, "Were you seen by others on the way back and forth with the young master?"

After Xue He recalled it carefully, he replied: "No."

After getting the exact answer, Madam You nodded and reminded, "Remember, you and Mu'er have never left the house today. The others gave the same answer. Did you hear it clearly?"

"Yes," Xue He and others in the room responded.

Behind Aunt Xue, Yue Niang hung her head, feeling flustered. She wasn't sure whether Xue He and the young master had seen her. But seeing that Xue He didn't mention her at all, Yue Niang thought hopefully that maybe Shi Ping ran into the silly young master and Xue He after she left.

The handkerchief was almost twisted into a tangled mess in her palm. Yue Niang had been in a state of panic recently. Whenever she heard any slight movement, she would worry that it would fall on her head.

After explaining all this, Mrs. You discussed with her son about returning to the main residence. In fact, the main residence had already been handled, but the allocation of staff in this courtyard still needed further consideration.

"Mu'er, although there are many chefs cooking at your grandmother's birthday banquet, they are all chefs your father invited from other counties. Mother is worried that you won't be able to get used to the food. Would you like to bring your Aunt Xue along?"

"it is good!"

After asking her son for his opinion, Mrs. You turned her attention to Aunt Xue and asked her in a gentle manner.

"If you are willing to come with me, there is no need to prepare a birthday banquet. You can just stay in Mu'er's courtyard and use the small kitchen to make some snacks. Don't worry, I will double your wages."

"Of course, the young master likes to eat what I cook. I'm so happy!" Since both the boss and the young master said so, Aunt Xue naturally had no complaints.

"Madam, please take me with you! I want to go too, it must be lively!" Xiao Cui pulled Madam's sleeve and begged while shaking her body.

Xiao Cui had been with the lady for quite some time, and because she was young, Madam You treated her like a daughter, so she never criticized her. As a result, she was bolder and liked to play with the young master.

"Of course I have to take you with me, girl. Otherwise, who will I feed the sweet cakes in my room to?" Mrs. You liked Xiao Cui, this diligent and clever girl, from the bottom of her heart. She stretched out her red fingertips dyed with marigolds and touched Xiao Cui's nose with a teasing smile.

"Madam always makes fun of me!" Xiao Cui took advantage of the situation and poured a cup of tea for Madam with a smile.

Looking at this harmonious scene, like that between a mother and daughter, Yue Niang on the other side almost crushed her handkerchief.

Why! She should have stayed in this yard longer, why should she be stepped on by that stinky girl Xiao Cui!

"Yue Niang, Yue Niang is going too."

Yue Niang was feeling indignant when she heard the young master sitting on the bed suddenly calling her name.

"Okay, it will be more convenient to have someone familiar around Mu'er." Although Mrs. You didn't like Yue Niang, since her son had asked, she naturally agreed.

My emotions were up and down, and my gloomy mood just now improved a lot.

Yue Niang was glad that this silly young master had not forgotten her after all! When she went to the main residence, it happened to be a birthday banquet, and there were many prominent people. If she was lucky enough to bump into one, wouldn't it be better than a child bride?

Yue Niang was happy here, but Xue He, who was standing by, felt uncomfortable when he heard it.

He didn't care about whether to go or not, but of course he didn't not care at all.

But right now, it seems that the young master remembers Yue Niang's kindness. He has been playing with the young master recently, and has been coaxing her by letting her be beaten or scolded when she is angry. Yet, he has not left any trace in the young master's heart?

Besides, they all...

Xue He was unhappy, Xue He was very unhappy.

"Xue He, go too!"

Xue He, who had been listening attentively to the news of his stay or departure, secretly wondering how he was inferior to Yue Niang, finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Then everyone go, lock the doors and windows of the yard, and let the few guards I brought back guard the yard." Finally, Mrs. You made the decision and asked these people to pack their bags and set off tomorrow afternoon.

In the second half of the night, just as Mrs. You had expected, Shi Ping really came with a limp and mud on his wound and knocked on the door of You's house.

Unfortunately, it was too late at night and not many villagers were willing to listen to his noise. The You family said in unison that they had never seen him, and asked the security guards to take sticks and "invite" Shi Ping away.

Before leaving, Shi Ping stared at Yue Niang fiercely with his right eye. Finally, under the pressure of the stick, he spat, turned around and left.

"Oh, cut it! It's late, Yue Niang, go back to sleep and don't listen to this idiot's nonsense. Have you ever been to the spring at the foot of the mountain..." Xiao Cui covered her mouth. She was so sleepy that she waved her hand to call Yue Niang, then turned around and went back to the house.

“…Ah, okay, I’ll be right back.”

Yue Niang responded, and before turning around she glanced at the closed door again, and felt more and more that Shi Ping could not be kept.

But how could she kill Shi Ping...

Throwing her into a well would not work. She didn't have the strength to move a grown man...
