Ever since Fu Yin joined the army, Ying Changming was no longer suitable to serve Fu Yin, so Chen Huaixu asked Lidong to assign him another job.
Now the servants in Fuyin's house can't even speak to Fuyin, let alone know his whereabouts.
As he was thinking, Shen Huaixu fell asleep without knowing when.
The next day, she went to Changlefang. The generous gift to celebrate Jiang Erlang becoming a tribute student had been delivered to the Jiang family's house from Xuanping Hou Mansion yesterday. This time she came empty-handed.
The Jiang family wanted to celebrate while everyone was together. After Shen Huaixu arrived, they asked the servants to find Lidong, who was with Lord Shen, and asked them to come to the Jiang family at night.
Shen Huaixu had something on his mind, so he found a chance to run out and take a look at the mansion where Fu Yin lived.
She asked the doorman, "Is your master not at home?"
Before she came, the doorman was dozing off. Hearing what she said, he thought it was another bold young lady who had taken a fancy to his master's handsome face and wanted to recruit her as a husband.
You know, he's been serving Princess Chaohua for so long these days, and yet every time someone comes, he has to serve her like a ancestor. Who could stand that?!
He opened his eyes angrily, "How can you meddle with my master's whereabouts..."
The moment he saw the person in front of him clearly, the doorman stood there in a daze.
Good thing! No more princess, now here comes a county lady!
It's no wonder that he recognized Chen Huaixu. He remembered that he met his master and County Master Mingyi when he came to look for a job. At that time, his master asked County Master Mingyi to decide whether he should stay or go. County Master Mingyi saw that he was smart, so he stayed and has been working there until now, and his life has become stable.
"Please forgive me, my lady! I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. My words offended you. Please forgive me, my lady!"
He plopped down on his knees without any hesitation.
"Get up. Do you know your master's whereabouts?"
How could a doorman like him know this? After scratching his head for a moment, he remembered something and said hurriedly, "County Lady, you've arrived just in time. Someone is waiting for you at the mansion. How about I call them over right away?"
Shen Huaixu waved his hand, "Go ahead."
After a while, a person walked in. Upon closer inspection, Shen Huaixu found that this face was very familiar to him. It was Bai Xiaoliao, whom he knew from the northern border.
"County Lady! I greet you!" Meeting an old friend in the capital was a novel and exciting experience for Bai Xiaoliao. "I wonder if you've come to see my general?"
"Yes, where did he go?"
Bai Xiaoliao smiled innocently and cupped his hands, "To be honest, County Master, I don't know anything either. My general didn't tell me the truth before he left."
Shen Huaixu accepted this answer well, "Okay, wait for him to come back and send someone to tell me at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion."
"Hey, hey, hey—Please wait, County Lady!" Bai Xiaoliao ran to Shen Huaixu and stopped him, "County Lady, the general has something for me to tell you—"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his waist pocket, "--I didn't mean to disappear. I hope the county lady won't be angry. I will be back soon."
Before today, Bai Xiaoliao suppressed his curiosity and did not check the contents of the note. He did not expect that the note seemed to be used to coax people. The person in front of him turned from gloomy to cloudy after hearing the words on the note.
Chen Huaixu ignored Bai Xiaoliao's intentional and unintentional glances and asked, "Did he say anything to you before he left?"
"What did he say?" Bai Xiaoliao shook his head quickly. "Everything my general said is on the note."
Knowing that he couldn't get anything out of Bai Xiaoliao, Shen Huaixu left.
Fu Yin, who was thousands of miles away, came out from underground and found that it was already bright outside. He spread out his palms, which contained two small white stones. Under the sunlight, the stones emitted a dazzling light.
After staring at the stones for a moment, Fei Yuan, whose skin was somewhat sensitive to temperature, put away one of the stones, placed the other in the sun, took a half step back, and waited quietly.
After waiting for a while, the stone placed in the sun suddenly broke into pieces, and the tiny pieces of stone fell on Fu Yin's black robe not far away, and several small holes were immediately burned on the finely crafted clothes.
Fu Yin was not very surprised by the scene before him. He walked forward, picked up a dead branch and dug into the broken stones. A puff of smoke came out from where the dead branch touched the stone.
He threw away the dead branch, stood up, and walked towards the nearest house where there were living people.
The man's sudden appearance frightened the little girl who was busy in the yard.
The little girl was about eleven or twelve years old, but it was hard to tell from her appearance because she was also disfigured, with burns covering almost half of her face.
When she turned her head and saw the man's face, she was in a trance and not quite sure where she was.
It has been a long time since outsiders have come to this village.
"You, who are you? Are you a human or a ghost?" She swallowed and asked vigilantly.
Fu Yin's gaze swept across the girl's dark yellow, cracked skin and the burns on her right eye and hands, and he said calmly, "I'm here to save you."
The girl's expression suddenly changed when she heard this. The surprise in her eyes was replaced by fear. She turned around and ran towards the door without hesitation.
A hint of doubt flashed across Fu Yin's eyes. He thought his words would make the little girl let down her guard, but it seemed to have the opposite effect. He paused for a moment, then followed.
The door in front of him could be broken open with just a little effort by Fu Yin, but he stood at the door and did not go in. Instead, he thought about what he would do if Chen Huaixu was there.
He pursed his lips and whispered, "If you're obedient, I'll help you and your grandfather leave this village."
