Chapter 55
Hearing the movement, Xia Ningxi turned her head to look at the woman, her pupils shrank, she was suddenly covered with a layer of chill, and her tone was cold: "It's you."

The woman's fingers trembled, she lowered her head to pick up the bamboo basket in a panic, her chest heaved nervously, her lips were tight and she didn't say a word.

Xia Ningxi sneered and raised her eyebrows: "Madam Xia, I haven't seen you for a few days, don't you know me?"

The woman's back stiffened, and she straightened up slowly.It was the Zheng family, Zheng Yunrong, who had just been expelled from the Xiahou Mansion with a letter of divorce from Lord Xiahou.

Gradually calming down, Zheng Yunrong gradually calmed down, looked up at her, took a breath, squeezed her fingers tightly, and said: "Xia Ningxi, even if you want to avenge your mother, the retribution is enough for me to get to where I am today. Why are you still pushing hard?"

"Do you think retribution is enough?"

Xia Ningxi didn't even bother to look at her again, she glanced sideways at her, narrowing her cold eyes slightly: "If you hadn't given birth to a good son, how could I have let you leave the Hou's mansion alive! Although you didn't kill my mother yourself, but After all, my mother was forced to death by you alone! Unless you die, otherwise, the hatred in my heart will be hard to get rid of!"

Zheng's face turned pale, and she staggered back a few steps, barely holding on to the door panel behind her to stabilize her steps, and looked at Xia Ningxi's cold expression in panic.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Ningxi turned around and walked back: "For Xia Muheng's sake, I won't kill you!" While speaking, she jumped out of the courtyard and left with a gloomy expression.

Mrs. Zheng never expected that Xia Ningxi would hide her secrets so deeply. While she was horrified, at the same time, she was deeply regretful about the proposal to let her return to the Hou's mansion.

Her feet were soft, and she slumped to the ground helplessly, closing her eyes in despair, tears were about to fall.

"Ma'am, save me~" At the corner of the garden, a green glow twirled, and a woman in green was lying sideways, her chest was covered with warm and bright red blood.

She stretched out her hands to face Zheng Shi with great effort, with tears in her eyes.

Mrs. Zheng frowned, stared blankly at the woman in green, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"

The green-clothed woman forced herself to sit against the wall, and said weakly: "My name is Lu Yun, and I have some personal grievances with that woman just now. She has always been cruel and merciless, and she insisted on calling a killer to kill me."

Zheng Shi was dubious, stood up and nervously grabbed the skirt of his chest, walked slowly towards the woman in green, and asked as he walked, "What personal grievances do you have with her?"

"She is not a serious woman. We just got into some disputes, and she killed my husband, and she refused to let me go. She insisted on killing me. Ma'am, you...you look like a benevolent person, Please save me, madam." The green-clothed woman, Lu Yun, coughed, her face gradually turned pale, and her pair of phoenix eyes looked even more sad and moving because of this sickness.

Zheng hesitated for a long time, rolled his eyes, and thought of his anger and hatred towards Xia Ningxi, so he decided to trust Luyun.

Walking in front of Luyun to help her up, Mrs. Zheng pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows: "I knew that this Xia Ningxi must not be a cheap lamp. I am a little worried now, if Lord Hou takes my daughter Yao'er What should I do if I marry into the Eastern Palace."

Lu Yun rolled her eyes sinisterly, and said earnestly: "As long as Madam saves me, protects me, lets me live here, and offers incense to me every day, if Madam asks for something, Lu Yun will do everything in her power to help you to the end."

Zheng's head was buzzing, and her heart was also shaken. She stared at her suspiciously: "Are you a human or a demon?"

"Ma'am, I'm a newly cultivated Earth Immortal. I need incense and incense to maintain my mana. It won't harm anyone. You don't have to worry about it." Lu Yun deliberately suppressed her voice softly, with a look of kindness in her eyes.

Anxiety nodded and took a breath, Zheng didn't ask any more questions, and helped her walk into the house.

Walking on the street, Bai Luo followed behind Xia Ningxi step by step, and asked anxiously: "Sister Xia, what kind of monster did we just see? How can we say that it disappeared without seeing it?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be some kind of grass that has been cultivated to be refined. Things like grass and trees are cultivated to be refined, and the art of earth escape is very advanced, so we just arrived at the grass, and we couldn't find her." Xia Ningxi rubbed her chin and explained seriously.

Bai Luo pursed her lips, and asked again: "Then you don't plan to take care of her? What if she hurts someone?"

"At first I wanted to take care of it, but I just happened to meet Mrs. Zheng. I'm too lazy to talk to her, and I don't want to see her, so I have to go." Xia Ningxi spread her arms and shrugged indifferently.

Bai Luo pursed her lips and sighed helplessly. The two continued walking side by side and went back to Zhangjia Village together.

Xiahou Mansion.

It was time for dinner, Master Xia Hou held the chopsticks in his hands, frowned slightly, and asked Xia Bo who was standing beside him: "Miss San still hasn't come back?"

Xia Bo lowered his head and answered carefully: "Back to Lord Marquis, the third lady has not come back for two days, and the old slave has been sending people to look for it, but there is no news. I just heard yesterday that the third lady has been to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It alarmed a nobleman in the court. As for who that nobleman is, the people in the punishment department said they don’t know, and it’s not easy for this old slave to ask Shangshu Zhou.”

Master Xia Hou waved his hand in annoyance, and said, "Keep looking, seeing that the wedding will be half a month away, why is this girl so uneasy!"

Xia Bo was about to respond, when a mansion soldier walked into the front hall with a letter, respectfully bowed his head and said: "Master Hou, someone sent a letter just now, saying that Lord Hou should read it personally, and let the subordinates Let me tell you that there is no need to worry about Miss San's safety."

Master Xia Hou nodded sullenly, raised his hand to take the letter paper handed over by the soldiers, and opened it to read.

After reading it, he relaxed his frowning eyebrows, heaved a sigh of relief, and said to Xia Bo, "You don't need to look any further."

Although Xia Bo looked puzzled, he didn't hesitate to ask, so he nodded and bowed back.

Picking up the chopsticks, Master Xiahou was finally able to eat with peace of mind this time.

The night was dark, and Xia Ningxi stood on the roof just like the previous two nights, paying attention to the movement below.

Bai Luo sat aside holding Little Putao, tilting her head and resting her chin in a daze.

As the breeze blew, Xia Ningxi's standing figure was reflected in the moonlight, her skirt and long hair fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of ethereal charm.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Bai Luo became impatient, tugged at the hem of her clothes, and asked with her mouth curled up, "Sister Xia, will that lizard spirit not dare to appear again?"

"No, he's used to sucking Yuan Yin. He won't be able to last for a few days, and he will definitely feel itchy. What's more, he is a lecherous monster." After standing for a long time, Xia Ningxi was also a little bored, so she simply lifted the hem of her clothes and white hair. Sitting side by side.

She had just sat down firmly, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a shrill scream pierced the quiet and cool night.

"There is a situation!" She immediately stood up reflexively, and her figure quickly took off and turned over, looking for the place where the voice came from.

The criminal police officers hidden outside the village also rushed out quickly, and following Xia Ningxi's body, they rushed towards the place where the sound came from.
