"Ah?

But you haven't changed your clothes yet! "Wenlan was wiping the stains on her sleeves with a handkerchief dipped in warm water.

"It's too late. We have to leave now."

She felt that something was wrong from the moment she was bumped into and her clothes were stained.

The table she was sitting at wasn't the main table and was close to the side. Even if the servant girls served tea, they wouldn't walk next to her. Moreover, with Sister Su's warning earlier, she felt that this matter was even more strange.

Chu Lian brought Wenqing and Wenlan with her just in case. Although they were skilled in martial arts, it wasn't foolproof.

This was the Ying Estate, not Duke Jing 'an Estate.

She wasn't the original Chu Lian and wasn't familiar with this place. In addition, there was Xiao Bojian hiding in the dark. She couldn't be sure that nothing would happen to her.

Thus, the best way to avoid accidents was to leave now!

She recalled that time at Defeng Teahouse when even Wenqing and Wenlan couldn't stop Xiao Bojian. She felt a lingering fear.

At this moment, Chu Lian regretted coming to the Ying Estate to attend Chu Yuan's hairpin ceremony.

Wenqing and Wenlan naturally listened to Chu Lian.

The three of them immediately got up to leave this secluded room.

Chu Lian pushed the door open and saw an ordinary-looking servant girl in purple standing guard at the door.

Chu Lian's mind raced. There wasn't anyone guarding the door when they came in. When did this servant girl appear?

As her thoughts raced, she gave Wenqing a look.

In that instant, Wenqing made a grabbing motion. The purple-robed maidservant subconsciously bent backwards to avoid Wenqing's grab.

Chu Lian's mind instantly "exploded."

This seemingly ordinary-looking servant girl knew martial arts!

Chu Lian wasn't the only one who felt that something was wrong. Wenqing and Wenlan also sensed danger.

Without needing Chu Lian to say anything, Wenqing and Wenlan already stood in front of her and started fighting with this unfamiliar servant girl in purple.

Chu Lian only knew a few of the most basic self-defense techniques. In front of a real martial artist, it was simply not enough at all.

She anxiously watched as Wenqing and Wenlan fought back and forth with the servant girl in purple.

It could be seen that this ordinary-looking servant girl was very skilled. Wenqing and Wenlan were fighting her together, but she wasn't at a disadvantage.

Chu Lian knew that she was still being schemed against. If she didn't escape as soon as possible, Wenqing and Wenlan wouldn't be able to protect her.

Right now, this secluded room was only guarded by this unfamiliar maidservant. As time went on, there would definitely be other people coming. Wenqing and Wenlan couldn't waste time with this maidservant.

Chu Lian suddenly had an idea. She took out a pouch from her waist and took two steps forward. When the purple-clothed maidservant wasn't paying attention, she raised her hand and sprinkled a bag of red powder on the purple-clothed maidservant's face.

The purple-clothed servant girl let out an "Ah!" and closed her eyes in pain, unable to stop her tears from flowing.

Chu Lian hurriedly reminded, "Wen Qing Wen Lan!"

Wenqing and Wenlan reacted quickly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two of them took down the purple-robed servant girl.

After gagging the purple-robed servant girl's mouth with a handkerchief, Wenqing knocked her out with a karate chop and looked at Chu Lian.

Chu Lian made a prompt decision. "Search him and see if there are any clues. Then hide him on the bed in the inner wing."

Wenqing and Wenlan moved very quickly and completed Chu Lian's instructions in just a short while. Unfortunately, they didn't find anything on the purple-robed servant girl.

"Let's hurry and leave," Chu Lian said coldly.

Wenqing and Wenlan protected her from the front and back. They quickly left the room without anyone noticing.

Because she had been to the Ying Estate once before, Chu Lian was very familiar with the layout of the estate. Although they met a few servants on the way, those servants were of low status and naturally didn't dare to ask why Chu Lian had appeared at this time.

The three of them arrived at the second gate without any obstructions. Wenqing went to look for the guards and coachman of Count Jing 'an's estate. She helped Chu Lian onto the carriage and quickly left the Ying Estate.

Even when Chu Lian was safely seated in the carriage, her heart was still beating rapidly.

It was too dangerous just now.

Wenqing's expression was still solemn. She poured a cup of warm water for Chu Lian and said, "Third Young Mistress, drink some warm water to calm yourself."

Chu Lian took the teacup and held it in her palms to warm her hands. She was in a daze.

Wenlan blamed herself very much. "Third Young Mistress, it's all because I'm not skilled enough. I couldn't even defeat a maidservant, and I even implicated you into taking such a risk."

If it wasn't for Chu Lian's packet of chili powder, Wenqing and Wenlan wouldn't have been able to subdue the purple-clothed maidservant so quickly.

Chu Lian came back to her senses and shook her head. "You don't have to blame yourselves. That maidservant must have undergone special training. It's normal that you couldn't defeat her.

We came back in a hurry, so Husband still doesn't know. Quickly send someone to inform Husband. "

Wenqing nodded and hurriedly left to give the order.

The Ying Estate.

Toasts were being exchanged in the reception pavilion in the front courtyard. Among the female guests, a servant girl was whispering something into Sister Yuan 'er's ear.

A pleased look flashed in Sister Yuan 'er's eyes.

She clenched the handkerchief in her hand excitedly and whispered something into the servant girl's ear.

The servant girl bowed to her and quickly left the reception pavilion.

He Changdi was tied up by official business and only left the Ministry of War's yamen after noon. Once he was out of the yamen, he mounted his horse and went straight to the Ying Estate.

As soon as he entered the estate, he was informed that the banquet was about to begin. A servant brought him to the reception pavilion in the front courtyard.

He Changdi didn't even have time to exchange greetings with the officials attending the banquet before he sent Laiyue to inform Chu Lian.

When Laiyue returned, his expression wasn't very good.

He Sanlang's face had always been cold and callous. Now that he saw Laiyue's expression, it was as if he was enveloped in a layer of cold air. Anyone who saw him would want to lower their head in fear.

"What happened? Speak!"

Lai Yue had no choice but to repeat what he had heard. "Third Young Master, don't worry. Third Madam has been taken to a side room by Second Madam to change her clothes. Wenqing and Wenlan are by her side, so nothing will happen."

"Not at all. Take me there now!"

Laiyue did things properly. He expected that his master would go and see for himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't be at ease. Thus, he had asked Second Madam's caretaker servant girl to lead the way.

He Changdi was tall and had an extraordinary temperament. Especially since he had been on the battlefield and fought against the Tuhun people, he had the murderous aura of a soldier. The old servant girl, who had lived in the inner residence for many years, didn't dare to slight him.

The old servant girl spoke carefully and didn't even dare to raise her head in front of He Sanlang. She walked quietly and pointed the way.

When He Sanlang was halfway there, he saw that the place was becoming more and more remote. His expression also became colder.

The old servant girl felt the cold air around her grow stronger. She fearfully wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. Seeing that they were almost there, she secretly let out a sigh of relief.

"Marquis, it's just up ahead."

The secluded guest courtyard didn't have many servants around. After entering, it was eerily quiet.

He Changdi had just walked to the veranda of the side room when his body stiffened, as if he had been frozen in place.

Those who practiced martial arts had very sensitive senses. He Sanlang immediately heard the unusual sounds of a man and a woman making love inside …
