Chapter 169
Thinking of this, Xu Heming became anxious and quickly rebuked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Although Xu Heming had a strong aura, he was still exhausted from his journey and had been kidnapped by Kong Meng'er. As a result, he was in a sorry state.
The two ladies looked Xu Heming up and down, their eyes filled with scrutiny.
Looking at Xu Heming's shabby clothes, the two of them had only one thought: This must be the beggar.
"How dare they come out so openly these days?" a lady said disdainfully.
"It's not a big deal if the man is in love and the woman is interested in him." Although the lady said this, the way she covered her mouth and chuckled made the other lady chuckle as well.
“Young man, if you really like Miss Li, why be so secretive? Why not just go to the Li family openly to propose marriage? After all, she’s already yours.” Madam A lectured Xu Heming.
"How do I get to the backyard?" Xu Heming was too lazy to explain to them, so he asked directly instead.
Upon hearing this, the ladies laughed again: "What, you've already forgotten the way back after just coming out?"
"Oh dear, sister, why are you getting so angry with him? He's probably got something wrong with his head, otherwise, how could he do something like that?"
"That's not quite right. It's just that this young master is quite handsome."
Xu Heming had no more interest in listening to these people's nonsense. He grabbed a servant, asked for directions, and headed straight for the backyard.
He was afraid that if he arrived too late, Li Zhiwei would be in danger. He also couldn't help but blame Qinghua and Qingyue for their incompetence, for not even being able to protect one person.
However, when Xu Heming arrived at the courtyard, there were only a few maids cleaning it.
I didn't see anyone else.
"Where are the people who were here just now?" Xu Heming asked the maid coldly.
"I...I don't know either!" This maid was the same one who had just brought Li Zhiwei here, and she was also a little confused about the current situation.
She was about to grab someone and ask what had happened today, because if she hadn't handled things well, the second young lady would definitely punish her.
"Will you talk or not?" Xu Heming had no patience and drew his sword directly.
To everyone's surprise, the maid fainted from fright.
"Where are the people here?" Xu Heming turned around and questioned another maid.
"I went...I went to the lakeside behind the mountain," the maid replied tremblingly.
"What are you going to do by the lake?" For some reason, Xu Heming had a bad feeling.
"Master Zhu is having an affair, and Miss Zhu is furious and wants to send him to be drowned!" the maid said quickly, closing her eyes.
"How do I get to the back mountain?" Xu Heming asked, then realized he needed a guide, otherwise Li Zhiwei might already be in danger by the time he found the place.
The back mountain.
"Madam, please let me go! I won't do it again. She seduced me. I didn't mean to lie to you!" Zhu Yunxian never expected that Huo Yunyao would actually drown him in a pig cage.
"Zhu Yunxian, are you even speaking human language? Back then, you were the one who said that Miss Huo was fierce and boring, not the person you imagined. Now, how can you say that I seduced you? You were the one who said you liked me!" Du Qiuniang never expected that Zhu Yunxian would say that she had seduced him at this moment.
He was the one who seduced her first.
"Sister Yunyao, I was really wrong. Back then, I was a woman who had lost her man. It was already a blessing from our ancestors that you took care of me. I was such an ingrate, colluding with your husband. I'm so sorry!" Du Qiuniang knew that whatever she said was wrong.
It would be better to admit your mistake openly; perhaps Huo Yunyao would forgive you out of consideration for your past relationship.
"What are you all standing there for? Throw him away!" Huo Yunyao said impatiently to the servant beside her.
