Chapter 44: Encountering an Assassin



I didn't expect that the Seventh Girl would take me away.

She thought that the Seventh Girl would torture her, but Mother Chen, who had tortured her in the past, ignored her and the Seventh Girl did not even look at her. Jin Cai was terrified along the way and had a nightmare at night, dreaming that she was sold to a brothel by the lady.

The sky was full of stars, but Jin Cai was covered in cold sweat.

At this point, she must have understood that the eldest lady was really kind-hearted but had a wicked heart. On the surface, she told her that she would be the eldest young master's concubine in the future, but in fact, she killed two birds with one stone. She used her to deal with the seventh girl and sold her out - the eldest lady never thought of letting her be the eldest young master's concubine! At this point, Jin Cai hugged her legs and cried. If possible, who would be willing to leave their hometown, but returning to the Shen family would be a dead end! The eldest lady's sudden calculation, she didn't even know how she died!

Although the Seventh Lady is a bit evil, she means what she says. If she wants to kill you, she will do it directly. At least she will give a deadline... Jin Cai bit her lip. Anyway, she didn't say to kill her now. From tomorrow on, she will serve the lady well. With a personal maid like her who knows so many things, if she serves Madam Liu well, she might be able to save her life! ——

"I don't know what you are thinking, girl, why are you carrying a gold ornament?" Mother Chen said as she packed her things.

Gu Yong took a shortcut back to the capital. There was no inn to stay at night, so they just laid out their blankets on the spot. The tents that Gu Yong and his men pitched were all from the military camp and were good at setting up tents. They were all firmly erected there, and not even the wind could get through.

“Jin Cairen is a little dumb, but she knows as much as you, mom…” Shen Qingqiu said, “Besides, mom, you are so old now. We need someone to do the hard labor along the way. We can’t always ask you to do it, right?” Mother Chen felt relieved after hearing this. After spreading the quilt, she said, “Wait, mom will make you some rock candy crisps!”

Shen Qingqiu smiled so hard that his two baby teeth were exposed. Mother Chen's rock sugar crisps were a must-try. You couldn't eat them normally!

Jin Cai, who had been hiding from Mother Chen like a ghost in the backyard of the Shen family, came out and grabbed the things in Mother Chen's hand, "Mom, let me do it? You go to rest!" If you want to gain a firm foothold, you must first please this old woman! But Mother Chen pushed her away, "I'm making rock sugar crisps for the girl, and you don't know how to do it."

In the past, Jin Cai would turn around and leave, but this time, she came up to him eagerly and said, "If I don't know how, I can learn. Just let mom teach me. I will be serious." She looked very serious.

Mother Chen frowned, "Go away, how can I ask you to learn my craft? Go and boil some water if you have nothing to do. Tonight, Auntie..." She had to change her words now, "The girl has to take a bath tonight."

"Why!"

Jin Cai responded.

Camping outdoors, the night wind was naturally strong. Gu Yong looked at the two people in front of him, then turned around and looked at Liu, who wished she could hide her head in her neck. He took off his cloak and hung it on her.

Liu shrank back.

"Are you afraid of me?" Gu Yong asked.

Liu quickly shook her head. He didn't touch her even after what happened last time... Regardless of other things, he was still a gentleman.

Gu Yong looked at the more graceful Emei eyebrows under the moonlight. He naturally understood that he was tempted by Liu because of her beauty. But for him, this was just a very common thing. But unlike others, Gu Yong wanted her to be willing.
