Meanwhile, Zu An took advantage of the darkness and made his way to the vicinity of the Pei residence.
The street where the city lord's mansion is located is inhabited by high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are soldiers patrolling everywhere, so the security is definitely much better than other places.
Zu'an dared not be careless and dodged the patrolling soldiers several times along the way, finally arriving at the outer wall of the Pei residence.
He chose a secluded spot and quickly and quietly flew in. He had been here several times before and knew the way well, avoiding the guards of the Pei residence.
Arriving at Pei Mianman's courtyard, just as they were about to enter, they suddenly saw a figure leap out from inside.
His face darkened. How could there be such scoundrels spying on this place?
With a light tap of his toes, he instantly attacked the opponent's side.
The man clearly sensed something amiss, and his body twisted like a serpent to dodge his attack. At the same time, his long leg kicked towards his abdomen at an incredible angle, demonstrating an almost superhuman level of flexibility.
Zuan hurriedly countered, and the two exchanged several blows in an instant.
"Huh?" Both sides felt a strange sense of familiarity. Seeing the two trembling mounds opposite them, Zu An hurriedly stopped. "Big Manman?"
"A-Zu?" The woman in black also pulled down her veil and looked at him with surprise. Under the pale moonlight, her pretty face was bright and charming. Who else could it be but Pei Mianman?
"Why are you dressed like this?" Zu'an also took off his mask and looked at the other person curiously.
She was even wearing a night outfit in her own home, and it has to be said that the night outfit was quite form-fitting, perfectly outlining her devilish figure.
He couldn't help but find it amusing. For those familiar with Da Manman, they could recognize her just by looking at her figure, so what was the point of covering her face?
Pei Mianman blushed slightly and opened her mouth to answer when a guard's voice suddenly came from not far away: "There seems to be some movement over there, let's go take a look."
"Come inside with me quickly." Pei Mianman grabbed Zu An's hand and hurriedly hid back inside the small building.
"Miss, why are you back again..." The maid Hongzao looked surprised when she saw Pei Mianman, but froze when she saw Zu An behind her.
Oh no, I'm going to have to stay out all night again.
Zu An was also somewhat surprised, because Hongzao was not wearing a maid's clothes, but Pei Mianman's clothes, and even her hairstyle was somewhat similar to Pei Mianman's.
What are these two, master and servant, doing?
Role reversal?
Pei Mianman hurriedly closed the door and quickly took off her clothes.
Zuan's expression froze: "Uh, is there any need to be in such a hurry? The red dates are still here."
Pei Mianman rolled her eyes at him but did not answer him.
Upon seeing that the other person was wearing their everyday clothes under their night clothes, Zuan immediately realized that he had misunderstood.
"Miss, there seemed to be some commotion over here just now. Are you alright?" came the voice of a guard from outside.
“I’m fine,” Pei Mianman said, slightly opening the window and showing half of her body. “Didn’t I tell you not to come near my yard unless it’s absolutely necessary?”
"It's because Master was worried about Miss's safety that he recently increased the number of guards patrolling the area," the guards hurriedly replied, bowing their heads. Although they had only caught a glimpse of her, they were still impressed by how beautiful Miss truly was.
“Your cultivation is not even as good as mine, so who is protecting whom?” Pei Mianman sneered. “Don’t disturb my rest.”
After saying that, he slammed the window door shut.
The guards weren't angry; how many people in the entire mansion were so fortunate as to speak with the young lady?
Wow, this young lady is really something.
"Search the surrounding area, lest any villains disturb the young lady." The guards didn't dare to have any improper thoughts; they just subconsciously wanted to do more for her and protect her safety.
Suddenly, two wild cats darted out from the side, baring their teeth and meowing.
"So it was just cats fighting." The guards breathed a sigh of relief, bowed in the direction of the small building, and quietly left.
Zuan withdrew his hand from controlling the wildcat with the jade cong and looked at Pei Mianman with a smile: "They were just concerned about you, why were you so rude to them?"
Pei Mianman rolled her eyes: "It's all because of you. If I were polite to them, these guys would keep showing up here. What if they bumped into you?"
“That’s true.” Zuan chuckled, then took out a bag of pastries and handed it to Hongzao. “Here, take this. These are the pastries I said I’d bring you last time.”
"Oh, these are all the most popular pastries from Xu's, the kind you can't even buy even if you queue up on weekdays." Hongzao took the pastries and couldn't help but swallow hard. "Thank you, son-in-law."
"Good girl, Red Date." Hearing her call him son-in-law, Zu An felt instantly relieved.
These pastries were given to him by Yu Yanluo when he left the Yu residence. This time, he's just doing her a favor by giving her red dates.
"You started flirting with my personal maid as soon as you arrived," Pei Mianman said sourly. "What gift did you bring me?"
"I'll treat you to a lollipop later," Zu'an said with a grin, taking her hand.
"Pah!" Pei Mianman blushed and hurriedly shook off his hand.
The red date next to it, upon hearing about food, immediately cried with longing: "What's a lollipop? Can I have one?"
Pei Mianman got annoyed: "This is none of your business, go to sleep."
As he spoke, he pushed the red dates downstairs.
Hongzao said "oh" and thought to herself, "Miss is so stingy. She doesn't even share the lollipop with me. The son-in-law is so generous, bringing me so many delicious treats."
Thinking about it this way, she immediately beamed with joy.
After she went downstairs, Pei Mianman couldn't help but glare at Zu An: "Don't talk nonsense in front of Hongzao in the future, she's still young."
Zuan was taken aback: "She's not young."
The image of the other person's rather large body flashed through his mind. He wondered if the water the master and servant drank every day was nourishing, otherwise why would they be so big?
