Chapter 135: Burning the Ancestral Hall (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Among her four maids, Gu Yu was the smartest, Bai Lu was the calmest, Shuang Jiang was the most loyal, and Jingzhe was the bravest.

Back then, in order to help Fu Xiuyi rope in powerful officials, Jingzhe used her beauty to become the concubine of that powerful official. Although she was eventually beaten to death by the official’s wife, before she died, she successfully obtained important information about that powerful official, and Fu Xiuyi used it to rope him in.

Gu Yu, Bai Lu, and Shuang Jiang were not suitable for doing this. Only Jingzhe could have the courage to do it. However, after Jingzhe knew what she wanted to do, Shen Miao did not know if she would continue to help.

After all, what she wanted to do was too shocking.

“Actually,” Jingzhe endured it and said softly, “if Miss wants to, it’s not impossible for Mo Qing to think of a way to bring Miss out.”

Mo Qing was more skilled than the guards of the General’s Mansion. Although it was difficult to confront so many guards alone, it was not impossible for him to seize the opportunity to bring Shen Miao out.

“And then?” Shen Miao asked. “The world is huge. Will everything be perfect once I escape? The contract of the four of you is in the hands of Old Madam. If I leave, what will she do to you?”

Jingzhe knelt on the ground and said, “I know that Miss is willing to stay here for the sake of our lives, but if Miss is harmed because of us, I will be guilty. Back then, Master and Madam chose the four of us to be your maids because they wanted us to take care of you. How can we let you take care of us?”

A trace of sadness flashed across Shen Miao’s eyes. Shen Xin was indeed good at picking people. In her previous life, even when she was in her most difficult time, her maids had never betrayed her. However, people were not goods. She had to repay kindness with kindness, take revenge with hatred, and win over people’s hearts, but she couldn’t do so at the cost of the lives of her maids.

“Don’t worry.” Shen Miao said, “You and I will be fine. I heard that Second Sister made a Buddha Painting for Grandma. They forgot about me here, but I didn’t forget about them.” She smiled. “I also have a big gift for Old Madam, but I wonder if she has the fortune to enjoy it.”

......

Dozens of kilometers away from the capital, horses were drinking water by the frozen stream. The grassland looked a little yellow and withered, and soldiers were taking a nap here.

Sitting at the far end of the group of soldiers was a middle-aged man. His skin was bronze, probably caused by the sun and rain on the battlefield, but it made him look strong. His figure was like a small mountain, and his eyes were filled with righteousness. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a beard. At a glance, he looked extremely fearless.

The woman sitting beside him was stroking the head of a horse that was lowering its head and eating grass. The woman was also middle-aged. She was wearing a green robe that was shorter than an armor and a pair of embroidered gold sparrow breeches. Her hair was tied into a simple knot. Her eyes were extremely bright, and she was born delicate. However, what was attractive was her heroic aura. There was a pair of double-ringed silver bracelets on her wrist, and when she stroked the horse, the bracelets made a clanging sound.
