For the first time, Hua Gu looked at the girl with beautiful eyebrows and slim figure in front of her. For the first time, she also found that Yan Niang had a calm aura that was completely inconsistent with her age. That aura made her, a veteran who had been living in the officialdom for many years and had been taking both black and white, couldn't help but lack confidence.

Did she find something? Otherwise, why would she remind herself not to make things worse? Hua Gu's eyes were like two sharp blades, and she wanted to break Yan Niang's belly and look carefully inside and out, but after a while, she suddenly felt relieved again. The girl in front of her was less than twenty, and she was not a royal relative. She said this just because she had figured out her thoughts and was nothing special. Besides, who is Hua Gu? She even walked through the emperor for a few times. How could she feel afraid of such a little girl?

So she cleared her throat, "Miss is right, I will order people to guard the passage. Girl, go to the room and wait for me first, and I will come back later."

Seeing that Hua Gu's figure gradually moved away, Yan Niang looked up at the rockery. She found that Cheng Muyou was gone. She knew with his cleverness, after hearing what had just happened, she naturally knew which road to escape from Qifeng Tower. Several crows were screaming from deep in the courtyard. Yan Niang stood there, squinted her eyes and listened quietly for a while, and then followed Hua Gu's instructions to walk towards the courtyard when she came.

The moon climbed to the treetops in front of the window again. Huo Qingming looked at the table full of food and tears couldn't help but shed tears again. Today is Xiao Zhu's first seventh. It is said that the dead people will go home on this day to see their relatives and say their final farewell to everything in the world. So after noon, Huo Qingming ordered the mothers and girls to prepare the food they loved most during their lifetime so that he could finally get together with his daughter's soul at dinner.

"Master, have some porridge." Manager Xu took a bowl of porridge handed over by the girl, blew the heat from it away, and placed it in front of Huo Qingming.

Huo Qingming waved his hand, "I'm not hungry, so I asked them to bring the bowls that the lady often used. When she went home for dinner, she couldn't even prepare the tableware."

"How do you do it?" General Manager Xu asked sternly at the girl behind him, "Why don't you go and take the lady's bowls and chopsticks."

The little girl was so scared that she agreed to walk towards the kitchen. Not long after, she walked in with a panic in holding the small blue and white porcelain bowl commonly used by the little bra.

Seeing that she was hesitating, she stood by the table and was swaying without putting down the bowl, General Manager Xu said impatiently: "What's wrong? Such a simple thing is so unsuccessful."

"Master, the manager," the little girl said stutteringly, putting the bowl on the table, "Miss's bowl...the bowl...is cracked."

Hearing this sentence, Huo Qingming suddenly came to his senses from his melancholy. He grabbed the bowl in front of him and found that it had a thin crack from the mouth of the bowl to the bottom. He stood up and put the bowl on the table with his eyes, searching inside and outside the house, "Xiao Zhu, is it you? Are you back?" He left the table and muttered to himself, "Dad knows that you are unwilling to leave, knowing that you were killed by that poisonous woman, don't worry, I have handed her over to the government and will let her pay for your life. Xiao Zhu, if you have a spirit, just wait in the underworld. Don't let her go, so that she will never be reborn forever..." He said viciously, not paying attention to the fact that General Manager Xu next to him had already shook into a ball, barely holding the corner of the table to stand firm.

It was already late at night, and everyone was still waiting with Huo Qingming to stay in front of Xiao Zhu's tablet. According to the rules, the candles must be bright in the mourning hall tonight, and everyone must stay all night, otherwise Xiao Zhu's soul will not find the way home.

Manager Xu was not in the house. At this moment, he was standing in an abandoned courtyard not far from Huo's house, rubbing his hands back and forth. The cold moonlight hit his shoulders, pulling his shadow into a slender and weird way. He looked anxious and looked back at the locked door from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.

The door finally made a "creaking" sound that he had been looking forward to for a long time. Yun Ying's figure appeared in the door hole, and her face was shrouded in a shadow, making it impossible to see her expression clearly.

"You're here, why did you delay for so long?" General Manager Xu walked towards Yunying hurriedly and grabbed her cold little hand.

"Today is the first seventh day of Xiaozhai. There are many things to prepare for in the mansion..."

"Okay, it's time, why don't you have any mansions?" General Manager Xu interrupted her impatiently, and then glanced at the surroundings secretly, as if he was afraid of being stared at by an unknown pair of eyes. He put his head close to Yunying's earlobe and whispered, "Do you... feel something is wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Yunying looked at him with her eyes squinted, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing is right," Mr. Xu suddenly increased the volume. The sound seemed to scare him himself. He shivered hard and looked at the left and right again, "I always feel that this house is full of strange things. Just like today, the bowl that Xiao Zhu often uses actually cracked. It was kept in the kitchen and was not falling and touched. Why did it crack? Also, I just came out of the door and saw a few children on Mi Fu that was sprinkled in front of the door...Footprints, do you think Xiao Zhu is back? Is she back to find us for revenge?" He became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became more and more rapid. In the end, he actually pulled Yun Ying's sleeve and pulled her so hard that she almost couldn't stand firmly.

Yunying's eyes gradually filled with tears. She covered her face and sobbed gently, "I don't want to kill her, but I'm really scared of poverty and have lived a lonely and helpless life. As soon as the woman entered the door, she treated me as a thorn in her eyes. It would be a matter of time before she was driven out of the mansion. I..." She suddenly fell to the ground and kowtowed to the moon, "Xiao Zhu, forgive me, forgive me..."

Manager Xu pulled Yunying up from the ground. There was a little more perseverance on his face. He held Yunying's hand tightly, "I've thought about it. Let's leave here and go back to a place where no one knows us. Put all these bad things aside. To be honest, I have accumulated a lot of money in the past few years. I promise you that I will give you a stable life and ensure that you can have food and clothing for the rest of your life. Yunying," the strength of his hands gradually increased, and the color in his eyes became darker and darker, "Can you go with me?"
