Chapter 69. New Peach Blossom, Duke Ningguo stripped of his title and dismissed from his post
Yunhua swallowed, his eyes full of envy.
Qinggong!
[Xiao Huahua, this person is not bad. I just looked through her information. She is loyal and stubborn. Her Qinggong is unparalleled in Donglin!]
【snort! 】
【Those princes are still somewhat useful.】
Yunhua's eyes rolled around.
"You, carry me in!"
The corners of Xiao Shiwu's lips rose slightly under the mask. The prince said that the master admired martial arts and was very good at light work.
She held Yunhua in her arms and jumped lightly, and the two of them landed in the backyard of the Duke's Mansion.
[Xiao Shushu, it's so cool to be able to do Qinggong. I won't have to crawl through dog holes anymore.]
Yun Hua stared at her with sparkling eyes, "You don't have to be my secret guard anymore, just stay by my side. Oh, and take off your mask too."
There was no need to hide one's features when next to her.
"yes."
When Xiao Shiwu took off her mask, Yunhua was stunned for a moment. What a beautiful young lady, no wonder she wore a mask.
She slurped her saliva.
It’s over!
She...she is also popular with both men and women.
However, now is not the time to admire beauty, so Yunhua quickly changed the subject.
"Wait for me here, Taohua!"
"Yes, I follow... Tao... Taohua?"
A crack appeared on Xiao Shiwu's cold face.
Yunhua nodded and said, "I have a maid named Taozhi, so you can be called Taohua. We'll make a perfect match."
The corners of Xiao Shiwu's mouth twitched wildly.
Yunhua blinked and asked tentatively, "You don't like it? The peach tree, peach pits, peach gum, peach kernels, peaches..."
"Peach Blossom, thank you for the name, Master."
Xiao Shiwu was afraid that if he didn't respond, it might eventually turn into hickory nuts, walnut cookies, peach wood swords, and the like.
"Then you just wait here for me. Don't worry, I'm awesome!"
Yunhua patted his chest, feeling very proud.
[Xiao Shushu, take out everything! ]
Yunhua originally thought that it would take some effort to avoid the guards of the Duke's Mansion.
I didn’t expect the Duke’s Mansion to be so weird tonight!
Not only was the atmosphere depressing, but the servants were busy working with worries on their faces.
Even a guard sighed when he saw Yunhua and ignored him.
Yunhua: ???
Are the guards of this Duke's Mansion so lax?
Yunhua scratched his head, unable to figure it out.
never mind.
Anyway, it was convenient for her in the end!
Yunhua sniffed. Perhaps it was because of the contract with the Heaven-Shaking Brick, but her five senses were more sensitive than before.
She touched her stomach and said, "Only when you are full can you have the energy to work!"
“Woof, woof, woof, woof…”
As soon as Yunhua stepped into the kitchen, the big, shiny black wolfhound started barking at her.
Yunhua flipped her little hand, and the golden bricks were particularly eye-catching in the dim light.
"Watch this!"
She shouted loudly, and the golden brick flew past its nose with a whistling sound, startling it so much that it fell to the ground with a plop.
Especially when it felt the energy from the gold bricks, the big wolf dog immediately tucked its tail between its legs and shook it wildly.
"Coward!"
Yunhua put her hands on her hips and laughed. With a wave of her hand, the gold brick returned to her hand.
After a hearty meal, Yunhua swaggered along, following the Book of Life and Death towards where Duke Ningguo was.
Then, a terrified roar came from the kitchen.
"Ghost, there's a ghost!"
Yunhua covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Duke Ningguo had been resting in his study recently. As soon as Yunhua leaned against the door, he heard angry roars and sounds of smashing and destroying things coming from inside the house.
"You bastard, I asked you to find a top killer, and look what you found!"
Duke Ningguo, oh no, it should not be called Duke Ningguo now, but the commoner Zhang Mingwen.
Just half an hour ago.
Emperor Wenxuan issued an imperial edict, depriving Duke Ningguo of his title. The six-month confinement was reduced to a reduction in his official title and he was sent back to his hometown.
His crimes included failing to educate his daughter properly, defiling the palace, and his son's misconduct. He also hired someone to kill an imperial official.
When Emperor Wenxuan heard the news from Crown Prince Nangong Yuan, he was so angry that he went berserk on the spot!
If it weren't for the old Duke's sake, he would have let him go for the time being. He would never have thought that this old guy would dare to set his sights on his little lucky star.
This time, Emperor Wenxuan could no longer tolerate it.
He was punished for multiple crimes, his title was stripped, and he was asked to get out immediately!
Zhang Mingwen's face was pale, and the imperial edict placed on the desk made him realize that this was not a dream.
He looked at the butler kneeling on the ground and kicked him over.
"Master, no one from those assassination organizations dares to take orders to assassinate imperial officials!"
The butler looked gloomy, clutching his chest, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Can you blame him for this!
He clearly had secret guards but didn't use them. He was only worried that the matter would be exposed and would implicate the Duke's Mansion, and he didn't even think about whether those killers would accept the order.
It’s good enough that he can find someone willing to take the order, and he even wants to pick the top killers!
Zhang Mingwen felt dizzy after hearing this, his eyes were red and he wanted to kill someone.
He casually picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it over, causing the butler's head to bleed.
"idiot!"
"You, you are so stupid!"
"Who told you to tell them they were killing imperial officials? Why don't you use your brains and say they were the women of the harem?"
Zhang Mingwen was so angry that he was about to go crazy. He could even mess up such a simple thing. You can imagine how stupid he was.
He held the imperial edict tremblingly, tears streaming down his face.
"It's gone, everything is gone!"
"The Ningguo Mansion is gone in my hands!"
“Wuwuwu…”
"I am ashamed to face the ancestors of the Zhang family!"
[Xiao Shushu, was his title stripped?]
Yunhua covered her mouth with her hands in joy. What a great event, this was a huge event. If she had known earlier, she would have bought some firecrackers to celebrate for him.
【snort! 】
[He deserves it. Who told him to set his sights on you?]
The Book of Life and Death glanced at it guiltily. It knew who helped, but it was too stingy today and refused to say anything.
Zhang Mingwen cried heartbrokenly. He wiped away his tears and saw the housekeeper who had hurt him so badly, with his finger bones pinched until they turned white.
"Someone, come quickly, drag him away and beat him to death with clubs, beat him to death!"
Zhang Mingwen looked over with fierce eyes, and his voice was cold.
The butler wiped the blood off his face and slowly stood up. He seemed to be mired in gloom. He raised his head and glared at Zhang Mingwen with a distorted expression.
Zhang Mingwen's heart tightened, and he shouted loudly: "Someone come, come quickly!"
"Someone coming?"
"Who's coming?"
Suddenly, the butler chuckled, "Duke, oh, no, now you are a commoner, banished back to your hometown, why are you still showing off your power?"
"Not to mention, the emperor ordered you to leave the capital in two days. Now, all the servants in the mansion are in a panic, thinking about how to leave this place. Now, who will obey your orders?"
The housekeeper's words were like a thunderclap out of nowhere, causing Zhang Mingwen's body to tremble uncontrollably.
"Also, I didn't sign a contract to sell myself. My household registration shows I'm a commoner, just like you are now, so you can't just beat or kill me at will."
After saying that, the butler took off the token from his waist and placed it on the table.
"Master, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. Don't blame me for my current choice."
After a pause and a moment's hesitation, he continued, "Master, we have been master and servant for twenty years. I hope you can listen to my advice. Times are different now. You should control your temper in the future so that you can live longer."
In the past, with the status of Duke of Ningguo, others might have had concerns, but later on, as a commoner, if you offended someone, the only outcome would be death.
The butler didn't see what Zhang Mingwen's expression was.
He had said everything he needed to say, and now he had to go back and pack his bags and leave this place of trouble.
As soon as the door opens!
The two looked at each other.
Yunhua blinked and waved her little hand at the housekeeper.
"Hi, it's our first time meeting. Let me introduce myself briefly. My name is Yunhua!"
