My Lord, your wife is spreading rumors about you again.

Chapter 34
Zhang Zhi was stunned.

He asked, "You want me to leave today?"

The girl looked up at him and suddenly smiled, "What else? You still want to spend the New Year with me? Go away, my master is not as kind and amiable as me, he will kill you." The girl paused and continued, "He will kill me too."

Zhang Zhi was silent for a moment.

"Okay, I'm leaving." He didn't know if it was an illusion, but his eyes were slightly red. "Girl, you saved my life, so I'll be your slave. By the way, my name is Zhang Zhi, and I live in the capital. My father, Zhang Wei, is the Marquis of Zhenbei, and he has 300,000 Northwestern Army under his command." Zhang Zhi felt his body, but there was nothing that could be used as a token of trust. The ill-fitting underwear on his body was given to him by the girl.

He looked serious, with a sharpness that didn't match his age: "Girl, if you come down the mountain one day, go to the Northwest Army camp or the Marquis' Mansion in the capital to find me. I want to thank you for saving my life."

The girl waved her hands and said, "No need. I will never go down the mountain in my life."

"Is that so?" Zhang Zhi was silent for a while. The girl looked at the rising sun outside and was about to urge him when she heard Zhang Zhi say, "Then I will go back to the tent to report to my father, and then come back to see you quietly. Is there anything you want? I will give it to you as long as I can."

"Brother, shut up, it's really too late. I won't come down the mountain, and you don't come up again. After today, you and I will never meet again, understand?"

The girl pulled back his blanket and threw him a pink coat and skirt from her home. "Put it on quickly. The poisonous miasma outside has dissipated. I'll take the small path to take you down the mountain."

After saying this, the girl left without looking back.

Zhang Zhi stood there in a daze, but finally put on the pink dress.

The girl sent Zhang Zhi down as promised. As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw a cluster of fireworks blooming out of nowhere at the top of the mountain.

"Oh no, the master came back early."

The girl looked anxious, and said to Zhang Zhi, "I have to go back."

"Hey! Can you please tell me your name?" Zhang Zhi shouted hurriedly when he saw her running away. The girl paused, she didn't look back, her eyebrows lowered: "I have no name since I was a child. But my master calls me Yangyang, you can call me that too."

After saying this, Yangyang disappeared in the snow.

The door of Anxiang Tower was pushed open. Wuwei walked in and saw Zhang Zhi, who was motionless and lost in thought. He was quite surprised and asked, "Master? What's wrong with you? Miss Ming has been gone for a while."

"It's okay." Zhang Zhi came back to his senses. He pointed at Ming Shuyuan who was standing beside him and said, "Kill him, then go find a carriage and avenge our second girl."

"Yes."

Mingli spent one thousand two taels of silver to buy Liuliu's indenture from the madam of Anxianglou, and from then on she was no longer a slave and became a good citizen.

In the carriage, Liuliu knelt on the ground, hugging Mingli's legs and crying, "Wuwuwuwuwuwu, my lady, I really don't know what to say. It's so rare for you to visit a brothel, and you don't even want to spend money to hire a few young men to accompany you, but now you spend so much money on me."

Mingli took a deep breath, put a finger on Liuliu's head, and pushed him back. "Don't rub your snot and tears on me. I have my reasons for redeeming you, but if you are not worth this one thousand taels of silver, I am willing to stop the loss in time and sell you again."

Mingli had a smile on his face, but these words really gave Liuliu goosebumps.

He shuddered, "Don't worry, young lady. My value is far beyond your expectations! From now on, I will be your person in life and your ghost in death. Even if I am reincarnated as a pig, I will fatten myself up and turn into roasted meat, steamed meat, minced meat, or meatballs for your belly!"

Mingli's mouth twitched: "."

"Thank you, but I declined." Ming Li felt that she was a person with very high moral standards because she could hold back from cursing. She asked, "You have always been with Zhu's nephew, so you should know a lot about the Ming family's affairs?"

Liuliu was still kneeling on the ground. He held Mingli's skirt tightly with both hands and nodded heavily: "Yes, Zhu Bi is the only nephew of Lady Zhu from the third room. She trusts him very much. What do you want to know, young lady?"

Mingli looked at him: "Mingyi and Mingxin are my brother and sister-in-law."

After hearing this, what else does Liu Liu not understand?
He said: "This is hard to talk about. Girl, you should know that most of those who can survive in this Kyoto city are not human, but devils."

"That day, Zhu Bi was drunk and told me a lot, including a very secret thing that happened in the Ming family recently. The third master Ming was lustful by nature, and he had already made a move on Miss Xin. The girl's brother and sister were not the children of the Ming family, and the girl was not well-respected in the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, so the Ming family would not treat them well. Miss Xin's death."

Liu Liu looked up, stared at Ming Li's eyes, and continued, "The murderer is everyone in the Ming family. From the masters of the second and third rooms to the doormen and servants, everyone can go in and out of Miss Xin's room. This is a tacit agreement. Such women are called house prostitutes, and are usually lowly maids who have committed serious crimes. However, many noble families feel that it is a loss of dignity and face, so they no longer use them."

"The Ming family is an exception. The girl has only been back home for a few days, and there are not many close relatives in the family. Even if they are forcing or bribing others, such a thing is too shameful, and they will never tell you."

Mingli laughed coldly: "Shame? They can do it, so why would they be afraid of shame?"

Liuliu was silent.

He added: "Miss Xin didn't know who killed her, but her body was found in the toilet. When Master Yi found out, he went to find Master Ming San to argue, but was beaten to death by his thugs. In order to prevent someone from digging up the bodies and finding out the truth about the death of the Ming Yi and Ming Xin siblings, Madam Zhu from the third room ordered Zhu Bi to find two similar bodies that died of normal causes to cover up the truth. That day, two water slaves happened to die in the building, so Zhu Bi asked for the bodies as an explanation to the Ming family. This is the truth about the cause of death of the young lady's brother and sister."

In the past, she always listened to what her master said.

The master said that if you have money and power, you will never have to worry about anything. She didn't understand it before, but now she believes it deeply.

Seeing that Mingli didn't respond for a long time, Liuliu became a little flustered. He reached out and tugged at Mingli's sleeve: "Girl?"

"I'm fine. Zhang Zhi said that Ming Boyuan and Meng are coming back soon, so I have to hurry."

The carriage suddenly braked, and the neighing sounded throughout the silent night road.

"Second Miss, there seems to be a roadblock in front of the mansion gate, go and take a look." But within two breaths, the driver sat down on the ground, and then shouted in fear: "Oh no! Someone come! The Third Master is dead! The Third Master is dead!"
