As the night deepened, Jiatao and Changpu finally waited until the lights in Su Yue's room went out. They looked at each other and then tiptoed and limped out of the yard.

What they didn't know was that Cui He was secretly following them, and Cui He didn't know that she was in a situation where the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind.

When Su Yue, who was in disguise, saw Changpu and Jiatao approaching Chaoyang Garden, she picked up a stone from the ground and hit Cuizhu, who was following them, on the back.

Cuihe was hit on the back by a stone and couldn't help but cry out "Ouch".

When Acorus and Jiatao heard the sound, they were so frightened that they trembled all over, stopped and looked back in horror.

"Who is it?" Acorus asked in a trembling voice.

Su Yue took the opportunity to hide behind a big tree and held her breath.

Cui He, who had no time to hide, could only rub her back, looking annoyed: "It's me, Cui He!"

When Jiatao saw that it was Cuihe, he breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "Why did you follow us? You almost scared us to death!"

Cui He said aggrievedly: "Who told you two to sneak out in the middle of the night? I was worried that something might happen to you, so I followed you to check."

Acorus frowned: "You are such a troublemaker, girl!"

Cuihe looked behind her, but there was no one there. She suddenly became scared. If there was no one there, who hit her?

At this time, Su Yue, who was hiding in the dark, took out a tinderbox and a cloth bag filled with stones, quickly lit them, and threw them towards the three people.

It’s not that Su Yue is cruel. They are just paper people in the book. Su Yue has no psychological pressure to kill them. Moreover, the death of these two people can be regarded as revenge for their original owners.

The burning cloth bag flew towards the three people with sparks. Cui He felt a chill on her back and somehow moved her head away so she was not hit.

But when the burning cloth bag flew past, it also ignited her hair, and Cui He instantly smelled an unpleasant burning smell.

The burning cloth bag finally hit Acorus, and Acorus' chest immediately caught fire.

Jiatao screamed in fear and tried to leave in a panic.

However, because of the pain in his knees and the rush to put out the fire on his body, Acorus accidentally fell on Jiatao, causing Jiatao to catch fire as well.

"Acorus, get out of my way! No! I'm on fire too! Help! Someone come quickly!"

On the other side, Cui He kept slapping her head with her hands, trying to put out the fire on her hair.

The three of them suddenly became a mess, and kept shouting "Help, there's fire!"

The guards who were guarding the gate of Chaoyang Courtyard not far away heard the noise and rushed over. However, when they saw the scene, they were immediately dumbfounded. They saw three fire men struggling constantly.

One of the guards reacted immediately, "Hurry up and notify the master and his wife and get some water to put out the fire. There are so many flowers and trees here, don't let them touch them, otherwise they will all burn."

Su Yue raised her eyebrows. The guard's reaction ability was quite quick. In that case, she might as well lend them a helping hand.

Su Yue picked up another stone and threw it towards Jiatao's knee, which was closest to the crabapple tree.

Jiatao, who had injured her knee, couldn't help but cry out and fall directly onto the crabapple tree behind her, which instantly caught fire.

The guard who had just spoken thought to himself that something was wrong and immediately shouted, "Quick...quickly put out the fire, the crabapple tree is on fire."

Su Yue saw that the time had come, and while the guards were running to put out the fire, she quietly entered Chaoyang Courtyard and went into the main house.

But there was no servant in the master bedroom. I guess they were all helping to fetch water to put out the fire.

Su Yue originally wanted to just force poison into Zhou Zhuo's mouth and kill him, but then she changed her mind and felt that the Su Mansion was not lively enough.

And he didn't know whether the space could take in living people, so he decided to give it a try. He changed his mind and decided to take Zhou Zhuo into the space instead.

Su Yue quickly walked to the bedside and was about to touch Zhou Zhuo, but Zhou Zhuo's eyes suddenly opened.

"You...who are you?"

"Your ancestors!"

After Su Yue finished speaking, she did not give Zhou Zhuo time to react and immediately took Zhou Zhuo into the space.

Su Yue was afraid that the longer she stayed, the more danger she would face, so she did not hesitate and immediately returned the same way, jogging all the way back to Qingyou Garden.

There was not a single candle lit in the main house of Qingyou Courtyard. Nervous Nanny Yang and Rendong kept walking back and forth, looking at the door from time to time. When their eyes met, they sighed at the same time.

Honeysuckle really couldn't stand the current atmosphere. She was so nervous that her palms were cold and her feet were sweating.

She couldn't help but whispered, "Mammy, do you think the girl can succeed?"

Madam Yang sighed again, "To be honest, I don't know either. I'm really nervous right now. If I really don't succeed, the worst that can happen is that I'll die with the girl!"

Hearing this, Honeysuckle immediately burst into tears. "If I had known earlier, I should have advised the girl to wait a little longer until I gave the silver to my father. Then I could accompany the girl to die peacefully."

Nanny Yang thought that Rendong would say that she was reluctant to die, but she didn't expect her to say such words.

Nanny Yang's eyes softened a little, and she gently patted Ren Dong's head and comforted her, "Don't be so pessimistic. Now that our girl has a treasure, she will definitely be able to protect herself. Let's not scare ourselves, let's wait a little longer."

As soon as Nanny Yang finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, scaring both of them.

Su Yue knew that Nanny Yang and Ren Dong must be very worried in the room, so she spoke first: "Nanny, Ren Dong, don't be afraid, it's me, I'm back!"

When Nanny Yang and Rendong heard Su Yue's voice, they finally felt relieved and hurried to meet her.

"Miss, you are finally back. Is everything going well?" Nanny Yang asked in a low voice anxiously.

Su Yue raised the corners of her mouth, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "It went smoothly, of course. Zhou Zhuo has been taken into my space."

Honeysuckle's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief: "Girl, this space can really hold living people?"

Su Yue nodded: "That's right, but we still have to slowly explore the specific situation in this space."

"Miss, what about the peach, calamus and bamboo? Have they discovered you?" Nanny Yang was still a little worried.

Su Yue thought of the three people being burned by the fire, and a trace of indifference flashed across her eyes. "If they really are not destined to die, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

Nanny Yang and Rendong immediately realized that Changpu and the other two were in great danger.

The two of them were thinking in their hearts that, in fact, they couldn't blame Su Yue for being cruel. It was Changpu and Jiatao who were the first to do wrong to Su Yue, and Cuihe was also a grass that could be swayed by the wind. Keeping her would only cause trouble.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Help me to dress up and change my clothes. I guess they will be here soon." Su Yue said as she took off her maid's clothes.

"Why did they come to us? Are they trying to frame the girl again?"

Rendong was a little confused. Although it was indeed the girl who did it this time, without any evidence, the master and the mistress could not accuse the girl again.

Before Su Yue opened her mouth to explain, Nanny Yang spoke first.

"You silly girl, don't you think that Chang Pu and the other three are from our courtyard? And now that Young Master Zhou is missing, the master and the mistress will definitely be suspicious."

Honeysuckle immediately panicked upon hearing this, "Ah, then...what should we do then?"

Su Yue frowned when she heard this, "Ren Dong, you can't do this, as my maid, you must not panic when encountering things.

Even if there really is a knife at our necks, we must pretend to be calm and not admit it. And with me here, you can put your heart at ease. I won’t let anyone hurt you and Mammy.”

Nanny Yang couldn't help but excuse Ren Dong, "Miss, don't blame Ren Dong, she is still young after all.

Besides, she has just become a personal maid. She has never seen much of the world and is naturally afraid. I will teach her more in the future."

Ren Dong knew that Su Yue was doing this for her own good. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Girl, I remember. I will change."

Su Yue nodded with satisfaction, and the three of them quickly took action.
