Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"Grandma is really amazing. She even persuaded the old lady. At first I thought the old lady would definitely not allow you to pass the message over there!"

Ping'er followed beside Fengjie, walking quickly towards Xichun's courtyard as if the wind was blowing.

She knew that Jia Hong was there, and that must be the safest place, even safer than outside. The situation in the mansion was uncertain, and she didn't know what the situation of the group of people outside was, so going to Xichun first was the best choice.

"Little hoof, you're not afraid!"

The road was still the same road, the corridor was still the same corridor, but Feng Jieer always felt a chill in her heart. When she came, she specially called Ping'er.

"Grandma, stop talking about that. How can you not be afraid?"

Ping'er was holding a lantern in her hand, and the dim light could only illuminate a short distance nearby. It was quiet nearby, and the maids were not on night duty here. And it was at this time, so who would come here?

If there were people around, she wouldn't mind. But now that there was no one around, she became scared instead.

"What are you afraid of? It's only two steps away from the fourth girl's yard. I haven't heard any movement yet, so I guess those people have been dealt with."

Feng Jieer clenched the handkerchief in her hand again and again. It was obvious that what she said was not what she meant.

"Grandma, I shouldn't have come here with you."

Ping'er only felt her heart beating violently. It was pitch dark all around and she couldn't see her hand in front of her. Only a small area in front of her could she see a little light.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, there was a sound as if a branch was broken by someone's foot, and Feng Jieer and Ping'er were startled at once.

A figure seemed to flash at the end of the corridor, and Feng Jieer grabbed Ping'er's arm.

"Ping'er, did you hear any noise just now?"

Ping'er's face turned pale, the lantern in her hand swayed slightly, and the candlelight flickered, as if it would go out at any moment.

"Grandma, why don't we go back!!"

Ping'er's voice trembled slightly, and she felt as if someone was watching them in secret, and cold sweat ran down her neck.

Feng Jieer's situation was not much better. In this situation, she did not get weak-legged and just sat down on the ground. If it were normal, she would not be afraid of such a thing. But today was very special. A big event happened outside and the Duke's Mansion was also in a precarious situation.

It’s hard to say. If someone suddenly appears and kills them, there will be great terror between life and death.

But when she looked back, she hesitated again. She calculated the distance from here to the old lady's place. To go to Xichun, she just had to walk along this corridor and turn a corner. To go back, it would take more than three times the distance.

The surroundings became quiet again, and only the sound of shouting and killing could be heard in the distance, but that sound was far away from them.

Although the weather was not hot, beads of sweat quickly climbed up their foreheads.

"Go to the fourth girl!"

Feng Jieer is also a decisive person. The current situation is the same as the one Jia She encountered before. If she hesitates to make a decision, she will suffer the consequences. She has met Jia Hong at Xichun's place. Now she is not sure whether she can see Jia Hong again at Xichun's place, but she expects that the other party will definitely leave a few people at Xichun's place to ensure Xichun's safety.

"If something goes wrong, shout out loud immediately."

Feng Jieer glanced around and saw it was pitch black. If it weren't for her deep memory, she wouldn't be able to determine what those things in the darkness were.

Sister Feng whispered something to Ping'er beside her.

A bitter smile flashed across Ping'er's eyes. To be honest, she really felt a little regretful.

"understood."

Ping'er looked around carefully and her pace unconsciously began to quicken. Ping'er also thought of what Fengjie was thinking. As long as they reached Xichun, they would be safe.

As the shadow approached, Fengjie'er's heart beat faster and faster, and she held Ping'er more tightly. One step, two steps, three steps.

After three steps, almost instantly, Fengjie pulled Ping'er and started running. Ping'er staggered and was almost pulled down by Wang Xifeng, but she quickly stabilized and started running with Fengjie.

Looking at the dark shadow that was gradually being left behind, Wang Xifeng panted heavily, but she kept walking until she turned a corner, then she gradually stopped.

But the next moment, her scalp felt numb.

"Where are you two going?"

"Master Hou."

Subconsciously, Ping'er was about to shout out, but suddenly she remembered whose voice it was.

"But Sister Luyi?"

Feng Jieer was so frightened that she almost fainted.

"it's me."

Lu Yi walked out from the darkness, having just dealt with the matter outside. She took the opportunity to talk to the people guarding the gate and asked them to continue guarding the gate. As for the night maids, she ignored them, but at this time, those people did not dare to come out.

"Is the Marquis still here?"

"Has the matter outside been resolved?"

They said it almost at the same time, but Feng Jieer and Ping Er asked two different questions.

Lu Yi seemed to have guessed the purpose of the two of them coming here, so she stopped speaking coldly to them and replied softly.

"solved!"

At this moment, Feng Jieer finally put her heart at ease. Thinking of the shadow she saw in the corridor before, she quickly said, "Miss Luyi, when we came here just now, we saw a shadow at the location of the rockery. Could it be a spy outside?"

Lu Yi frowned.

"I'm not sure, but it's not impossible. You two can follow me first!"

Feng Jieer and Ping'er followed closely behind Lu Yi. Looking at the room in the yard where the lights were already on, they suddenly felt as if they had been reborn from a calamity.

"You two, as long as the Marquis is here, there will be no problems in the mansion. Even if those spies are from outside, they will not attack the mansion, otherwise they would have been dealt with by the Marquis long ago."

She knew that there were spies in the Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Hong did not interfere and just let it go. Sometimes the best way to confuse the outside world is not to conceal it, but to let those outside receive some self-righteous news.

"Miss Luyi, those people outside"

As she was talking, Lu Yi had already knocked on the door. She did not answer this question as she still had to report.

"Sister Feng, Ping'er, why are you here?"

Xichun was a little surprised when she saw the two of them. Shouldn't they be staying with the old lady or in their own room at this time?

"It's alright. The Lai family should notify the old lady soon."

Jia Hong looked at the two of them and shook his head slightly.

"Brother, are those things outside true?"
