The whole world is an NPC

Chapter 19
Back at Woyunju, Yunyan was shocked when she received the 500 taels of silver. When she learned that the girl had won it from her wife, her eyes sparkled and she said, "Girl, let's play cards with my wife every night from now on! We're going to get rich!"

Du Juan stepped forward and patted Yun Yan on the forehead, and scolded: "Nonsense! You are the same as you when you are a girl? Don't teach bad girls!"

Yunyan rubbed her forehead, not daring to say any more.

Ye Xueying giggled and said, "I won a lot today, mother will come to play cards with me again in a while."

Ye Xueying was happy here, and Ye Wenying was also happy.The third brother who had lost the silver lingered at Li Shi until his younger sister left, and spoiled Li Shi for a while.Mrs. Li readily gave him 300 taels of silver.Twice as much as he lost.Seeing that Jade Bird lost miserably, Mrs. Li also rewarded her with a gold hairpin to compensate for her loss.

Ms. Li was a little depressed after sending her son away.Li originally wanted to teach her daughter to play cards and win all her money.Wait until the daughter loses and cries, and after laughing at her, return the money to her, and explain some great truths at the same time.For example, a gentleman does not rejoice in things or feel sad about himself.Don't be obsessed with temporary gains and losses of property.It doesn't matter if you lose at the poker table, but you can't lose your grace.If you lose at the poker table, you have to make it back off the table.The purpose of playing cards is not to win money, but to socialize and trade. Gambling with the purpose of winning money will only end up losing everything.

This was how she repaired her three sons back then.Unexpectedly, my daughter kept winning wildly, and I was so angry when I lost that I couldn't express any truth in my heart.

In the middle of the night, Ye Xueying rolled over from the bed and sat up.Glancing at Yunyan who was sleeping soundly in the outer room, she quietly changed into her green clothes, skillfully opened the window, and slipped out of the window.

Ye Xueying didn't want to practice the flying needle this time, but wanted to explore those red spots.Late spring weather, a little cold at night.She walked to the edge of the wall, bent her waist, and sprinted in three steps, and successfully put her hands on the top of the wall.With a little effort, Ye Xueying climbed up the wall lightly.

Feeling the ash in her hands, Ye Xueying was a little depressed.There was no way, she couldn't do Qinggong, so she had to crawl.It is inevitable to get dust on your hands and body.She looked into the distance. It was dark everywhere, with only a few scattered rooms with lights on.There were several women keeping vigil at night.In the distance, a group of guards were patrolling slowly with lanterns.

Ye Xueying didn't dare to jump down, for fear of making a noise.She grabbed the top of the wall and hung down, seeing that she was not far from the ground, when she let go, she stepped on the ground lightly.

Ye Xueying breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, there was almost no sound after this.

Under the cover of night, she quietly walked toward the warehouse, where Hong Gu was.Ye Xueying guessed that Honggu was the one who killed her, so it was Honggu who she wanted to investigate for the first time.

With a small map to guide the way, Ye Xueying walked all the way to the back.Walking to the edge of a rockery, Ye Xueying was depressed, turned a corner and there were two yellow spots there.As long as she passes by, she will be found.

Strange, who is here in the middle of the night?Ye Xueying looked at the small map carefully. One was Hu Ma in the kitchen, and the other was the guard captain Zhang Tai.These two people are both secret guards of the Hou Mansion.

"Mother Hu, how is the backyard?" Zhang Tai asked in a low voice.

"Hey, the mouse seems to be moving." Mama Hu hesitated and said.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Tai asked anxiously, frowning.

"Mother Wen, who guards the second gate, suddenly ran to Taolin for a walk yesterday. Today, just after dawn, Tian Nanny also went to Taolin. After Tian Nanny came back, she immediately went to find Honggu. I guess it was I don't know what they want Honggu to do when they hand over the letter." Mama Hu said in a low voice.

"Apart from poisoning, what else can there be?" Zhang Tai pouted and sneered.

Mama Hu nodded and said in a low voice, "What should we do? Do we want to stop her?"

Zhang Tai was silent.

When Ye Xueying heard this, her nervous heart almost jumped out.She was very fortunate in her heart, if she hadn't met Nanny Tian in the morning, she wouldn't have thought of coming out tonight to have a look, and wouldn't have heard such secret news.

Ye Xueying held her breath, wanting to hear what the two hidden guards would do.Judging from Hu's mother's tone, it seems that she has some kindness towards her family, but she is obviously not firm.It can also be inferred from this that Hu's mother is not from the second uncle, otherwise she would not have thought of stopping Honggu.

After a while, Zhang Tai whispered: "Let's not move for now. We will wait until we report back to the superiors and listen to the instructions from the superiors."

Hu Ma was taken aback and whispered: "If I wait for the order from above, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it in time."

She knew in her heart that Xuecheng was a few days away from the Hou's mansion. Even if the pigeons sent letters, they would come back and forth, and it would take at least a day or two for the news to come back to her.She really doesn't do it, she's afraid something will go wrong.

Zhang Tai said coldly: "I don't care how they fight. Master Hou is an innate master, and his life span is still long. No matter who wants to be Lord Marquis, they have to wait for 20 years. It is not a good thing to stand aside now The safest thing is to be loyal to Lord Hou. If Lord Hou doesn’t speak, everything we do is wrong. I don’t want to lose my life inexplicably, I still have a wife and children to support!”

Hu Ma said distressedly: "You put it lightly, you are not responsible in the outer courtyard. If something happens to the eldest man and his wife, I can't run away in the backyard. The task given to me by the superiors is to monitor and protect the eldest man's family. Really If Hong Gu is to succeed, I will have to shed my skin even if I die."

Zhang Tai scratched his head in embarrassment.He thought for a while and said, "I'll report it to you, and you can handle the backyard."

Ye Xueying felt so depressed when she heard that the attitude of the two people was too ambiguous.It seems that I want to take care of it but I don’t want to take care of it. I don’t want to take care of it but I still want to take care of it.This is so strange.

Ye Xueying's mind was a little confused.She had to admit that she was not very good at this kind of intrigue.

Mama Hu nodded dejectedly. Before she got a new order from above, she still had to find a way to prevent Aunt Hong from poisoning her.But she didn't know what to do.From a selfish point of view, she didn't want to offend the second master either, as seven or eight members of her family lived in the Hou's mansion.Offending the second master, her family will not have a good life.

If you don't want to offend the second master, Honggu's matter can't be brought to light.It's not easy for her to prevent Honggu from poisoning her alone.There are a lot of people coming and going in and out of the kitchen, if one is not careful, Hong Gu might get her.

Although Hu Ma is proficient in poisons, there are so many poisons in the world.She wasn't sure that she would be able to see through Hong Gu's poison.God knows what poison the second master will give.

"Aren't you good at poisoning? Why don't you poison Honggu first and let her lie down for a few days before talking!" Zhang Tai suggested to Mama Hu.

Mama Hu slapped her thigh and said happily, "You have a good idea! This way I will have time to wait for the news from above."

Ye Xueying was speechless listening on the other side of the rockery, she was so strong, she still had this kind of operation.

"Okay, you're going to poison her tonight, I'm going back to sleep." Zhang Tai chuckled.

Mama Hu nodded.
