"Who are you? Why should I believe you?"

The young man looked at the strange maid in front of him vigilantly. Although he was so ignorant that he would not become a fool, he naturally realized that there was a big problem with the maid in front of him.

A hint of sarcasm appeared in the maid's eyes, "Is it important to you who am I? Or do you have any other way to rescue your beloved Miss Ziyan from the thief?"

This made the young man speechless. His father always said that he was the same and very stubborn. Even if his grandfather jumped out of the coffin, it would be difficult to change his decision.

"Don't hesitate anymore. After tonight, your beloved Ziyan girl will be sent to Liu Zhe's bed for her to play with. Think about that kind of situation, can you bear it-"

"Stop talking!"

The young man roared, his eyes suddenly turned red. When he thought of his beloved woman lying on someone else's bed, he felt heartbroken.

"Bang bang!"

"Young Master, are you okay? What happened? Open the door quickly!"

The servant outside the door knocked on the door immediately when he heard the movement inside.

"Get away!"

The young man roared outside, then turned around and looked at the maid in the corner, as if he wanted to imprint it in his heart, "You'd better fulfill your promise, otherwise I won't let you go even if I die."

The corners of the maid's mouth raised slightly and said meaningfully: "It will be as you wish!"

······

On the other side, in the study room, Zhou Gui sent his son away and set off to the Zizhuyuan in the back house.

From a distance, I heard a sound of a piano like flowing water from the mountain stream.

In a pavilion in Zizhuyuan, a woman is playing the piano.

The woman was wearing a blue embroidered silk shirt and a pearl-white crepe skirt. She had shoulders shaved, her waist was as plain as possible, her neck stretched out and her neck was as thick as fat.

Under the breeze, the gauze around the pavilion floated, and the woman's peerless face was like a newly blooming jade flower, white and magnificent.

Seeing Zhou Gui coming, Ning Ziyan quickly stopped playing the piano, stood up and saluted, "Ziyan has seen the master."

Looking at the delicate face in front of him, Zhou Gui couldn't help feeling a dazed moment. It's no wonder that his boy was thinking about marrying her into the house. It's a pity~

He sighed, "If you don't deserve your own wealth, you will suffer from it." If you don't deserve your own virtue, you will suffer disaster. This is the same thing as this woman.

Originally, Zhou Gui planned to spend some days sending him into the palace. If he really had a phoenix life, he might be able to enter the Eastern Palace. In this way, the Zhou family would also benefit from it.

Unfortunately, now that Liu Thief has captured Tang Yuan’s Mansion, if the Zhou family wants to save their lives, it may not be enough except for losing money to prevent disasters. Sending this woman with the fate of a phoenix is ​​the safest way. After all, isn’t the ultimate goal of rebels to be emperors?

"Zi Yan, you have been in the mansion for five years, have you?"

"It's been five years and three months since I entered the mansion."

"How should I treat you?"

"Treat it as your own."

"Very good. Now there is a major event related to the life and death of the Zhou family. You need to resolve it. Are you willing?"

"willing!"

Hearing this unhesitant answer, Zhou Gui was surprised, "Don't you ask what I asked you to do?"

"Although I have been staying in Zizhuyuan, I have heard a little about the things outside. The only ones who can put the Zhou family in danger are those rebels."

Speaking of this, Ning Ziyan's eyes turned and said calmly: "So, the master should be planning to send me to serve the thief."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Gui's old face couldn't help but feel a little hot. After all, this was not a glorious thing, and Ning Ziyan was quite surprised that he could see his plans from these details.

"I'm sorry for you in this matter."

"The master said yes. If it weren't for the master, I was sold into a brothel by the tooth shop five years ago. How could I live such a carefree and rich life? So it's not that the master is sorry for me, but that I should repay the Zhou family."

There was no trace of reluctance on Ning Ziyan's smooth face. For a girl who was just fifteen years old, this was somewhat unreasonable.

Zhou Gui suddenly realized that he seemed to be unable to understand the woman in front of him. The grace of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water. This sentence sounds nice, but when it really affects his own wealth and life, if he is not a close relative, who can sacrifice himself for others? At least in his opinion, the saints are the ones who can do this.

"You have some preparations, I'll send someone to send you tonight."

After saying this, Zhou Gui stood up, turned around and left. Not long after, a sound of piano sounded from behind again.

Zhou Gui stopped and listened for a while. Not only did there be no desolation or sadness in the piano sound, but there was a sense of enthusiasm and uplift.

"I've met the master."

At this time, a maid wearing a green skirt walked in from outside.

"Um."

Zhou Gui nodded and was about to leave. Suddenly he remembered something again. He turned around and looked at the maid with his head down and asked, "When did you come to Zizhuyuan? Why haven't you seen you before?"

"Report to the master, I am the maid whom the mistress just transferred to Miss Ning."

"Oh, okay, you go."

When he heard that it was his wife who was transferred, Zhou Gui did not go into it any further. He never cared about the matter of the Houyao.

Night falls.

Dozens of carriages drove from Zhou Mansion toward the government office one after another.

In addition to a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, there are many beauties. In one of the huge carriages, several women with proud figures and outstanding appearances were lowering their heads and wiping their tears with scarves. Only Ning Ziyan was lifting the curtain of the carriage, and then the moonlight and torches looked outside with enthusiasm.

After five years of entering the Zhou Mansion, although I had no worries about food and clothing, I had been learning piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, and the rhythm of time. I was unable to leave the mansion at all. Compared with five years ago, there was a big change.

"Zi Yan, why do you look unworried at all?"

A woman next to her asked strangely when she saw this.

Ning Ziyan put down the curtain and asked, "Is it useful to worry? It only increases worries, it can't change anything at all, unless--"

"Unless what?"

The three people around him suddenly pricked their ears. For the singers who have been kept in the mansion since childhood, the best way out is to be concubines for wealthy families, or even worse, to be wifes for the mansion's managers. They have never thought about the way out of committing rebels, and they dare not think about it.

"Unless we can control our own destiny."

Ning Ziyan's melon-shaped face became extremely serious.

"Puff~"
