"Thank you for your kindness, Princess Ya, but I am of low status and should live out my life in this slave courtyard. I'm sorry that I cannot obey your order. I hope Princess Ya will forgive me." For some reason, a warm feeling surged in Manager Wu's heart. The masters in this palace should not care so much about the life and death of a slave.
Zhao Ya frowned. Although she really wanted Manager Wu to follow her, she could not go against her wishes. If she made her feel embarrassed, she would not force her. But this time, she would really hurt her. What should she do?
Zhao Ya felt a little uncomfortable. After all, she had not thought so much about it. She just asked a palace maid. So many things would happen afterwards, but they were never within her consideration.
Bai Yinglin was also worried. She just realized the purpose of Zhao Ya coming here. If she had known from the beginning that Zhao Ya was going to this place, she would have stopped her. But now there was nothing she could do.
It's a pity that if such a good manager is killed because of this incident, it would be his own fault.
"Manager Wu, have you made up your mind?" Bai Yinglin spoke up to confirm Manager Wu's thoughts again.
Manager Wu paused for a moment, then nodded, indicating that he was here voluntarily.
Bai Yinglin could only nod.
"Okay, I understand. Since Manager Wu doesn't want to, I think Princess Ya will naturally not force him." Bai Yinglin said.
Bai Yinglin knew in her heart that even if she didn't ask about all this today, there was no way to save Manager Wu. The only way now was to know how to deal with Concubine Jia and protect the entire slave house as quickly as possible. Perhaps this way all the tragedies could be avoided.
She also had some understanding of Concubine Jia's affairs. She must be an extraordinary person, with such cruel and ruthless methods. If she knew about it, the entire slave house would be implicated.
Bai Yinglin then pulled Zhao Ya to her side and whispered in her ear, "Ya'er, when you get out, go ask your father to have someone protect the slave yard."
Zhao Ya nodded.
She looked at Manager Wu with a complicated expression, as if her actions would bring harm to the slave house.
"Manager Wu, thank you very much." Zhao Ya spoke, looking very sorry for Manager Wu.
Steward Wu shook his head and said, "Princess Ya is a kind-hearted person. She will naturally be blessed by heaven. It's fine. I am a humble servant to begin with, so all this doesn't matter."
"Don't worry, I, Zhao Ya, will protect the entire slave house. Don't worry."
Manager Wu didn't say anything, but just walked to the side. She didn't go to the main door, but to a small passage in the side room.
Zhao Ya and Bai Yinglin followed behind him, looking extremely coordinated.
…
"Manager Wu, how come there is a secret passage here?" Zhao Ya asked. Although the passage was not wide, it could be seen that the person who built it had put a lot of effort into it. The walls were surrounded by the glow of the Qingxiao Spirit Stone.
The entire passage was unusually bright.
"Don't worry, no one here knows, it will be safe." Manager Wu's voice reached the ears of Zhao Ya and Bai Yinglin.
Although the tunnel is not big, it is more than enough for three people to pass through.
Soon a bright light came on and three people emerged from the cave.
It seems that this cave entrance leads to the back mountain near the slave yard.
There was no sound of slaves cleaning here, so it was unusually quiet.
