Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

To the north of the plum garden is a small hill. There is a welcoming pine planted on the hill. There is a small pavilion beside the welcoming pine. Standing in the pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of the whole plum garden.

Before arriving at the pavilion, Chaohua asked the maid for a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine and two wine cups. As soon as it came up, he poured a glass for each of them.

She had just drank this wine, and now she was still craving for it.

"The sweet-scented osmanthus brewed by my eldest brother is the most delicious. I see you didn't drink it just now, would you like to try it now?"

Shen Huaixu was worried about getting drunk, so he shook his head, "I'm not good at drinking, so you should drink less."

Chao Hua curled his lips and drank both glasses of wine with one hand and one cup. Then he stood up and stood side by side with Shen Huaixu. He looked at the people in the garden and saw Fu Yin in white brocade clothes at a glance.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Mr. Fu is even more charming than before..."

Shen Huaixu glanced at her and moved to the side, "You're not bad either, so there's no need to belittle yourself. The world is so big, you have to see more."

Chaohua laughed "hehe", feeling faintly drunk.

In the garden, a boy moved four objects covered with red silk and placed them in the open space between the guests on both sides. Then Shen Huaixu could only see what Prince Shouning said excitedly. When it reached his ears, his voice was blown by the wind. of brokenness.

"Chaohua, the baby is here."

"Baby? What baby?" Chaohua felt her head feel dizzy, and her body couldn't help but fall. She hugged the pillar beside the pavilion to support her body, and said vaguely: "Hold the young master..."

Shen Huaixu took the time to look at her and saw that she was sitting on the edge of the pavilion with her eyes closed. He was a little worried. He stepped forward and helped her sit on the stone bench. He saw her sleeping on the table and then looked at the plum garden again. .

Many female relatives came to the plum garden, and the rare things covered with red silk revealed their true appearance. For a moment, everyone was captured by the dazzling white lotus flowers.

The lotus was carved in a lifelike way. It was a parallel lotus, the size of a basin, and it didn't look like an mundane thing.

Suddenly, Shen Huaixu's eyes were fixed on one spot, and she stared at them for a moment, until her eyes were dazzled by a bright light. She looked towards the source of the bright light. The man was a man, with his back to her, and his face could not be seen. Dressed as a servant.

This man seemed to be the one who moved the lotus. He was very close to Bingdi Lian, so not many people saw the small movements of his hands.

However, Shen Huaixu knew that he was probably using something like a convex lens to attract the heavenly fire to the Bingtilian, so as to help it collapse earlier.

She moved her eyes towards her father and saw that he was saying something loudly, while Fuyin, who was sitting in the back seat of him, suddenly pulled down the curtain not far from his seat.

Shen Huaixu looked back at Chao Hua and saw that she was still sleeping. A crossbow appeared out of thin air in her hand. The crossbow arrows were ready. She aimed at the servant who was retreating without leaving a trace. The moment the crossbow arrow was fired, it was so bright that it looked a bit enchanting. The strange lotus flowers were also vigorously covered by the curtain in Fuyin's hand.

The crossbow arrows penetrated the boy's flesh, and the covered lotus burst apart. Screams erupted throughout the plum garden, but they were still orderly.

From a distance, he saw Fu Yin holding the boy she had shot and injured. Shen Huaixu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and put away his crossbow. When he turned around, he saw a man standing beside Chao Hua and strangling her neck with one hand.

The man was not short in stature, but his body was thin. From a distance, he looked like a bamboo pole. He had no face covered, and one foot was heavily stepped on the stone bench, looking like he was not awake.

The smile on his lips gradually faded, and Shen Huaixu's eyes gradually became colder as he looked at the man.

The man looked at Shen Huaixu and asked, "Are you the Lord of Mingyi County, Shen Huaixu?"

Shen Huaixu nodded, "It's me."

"How did the crossbow in your hand appear, and how did it disappear?"

When asked about this, he was very energetic.

Shen Huaixu looked at him steadily, and a locust appeared in the palm of her back. After selecting the target person, she curled her lips and said, "Call me ancestor, and I will tell you."

The man didn't expect that Shen Huaixu would dare to be so crazy with a hostage in his hands, and his face became stiff for a moment. He tightened his grip and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill her?"

Chaohua, who was still sleeping, frowned because someone pinched his vulnerable part, and his eyes covered by eyelids kept trembling, which was a sign that he was about to wake up.

Shen Huaixu said in a low voice: "Didn't your master tell you that I am a soft-spoken person but not a tough person?"

After the words fell, before the man could react, his whole body twitched suddenly, and the strength in his hands loosened.

Shen Huaixu didn't want the man's life, so he gave the man a hard blow and saw the right opportunity to snatch Chaohua from his grasp.

There was such a big movement that Chaohua woke up despite being dead asleep. As soon as she woke up, she fell down and squatted down. She sat on the ground, her mind was confused, and she couldn't understand the situation in front of her.

Shen Huaixu did not comfort her, but took advantage of the victory and stepped forward, grabbed the man's wrist, and turned it back, only to hear a crisp sound.

The man who had just recovered from the severe pain was faced with the severe pain of broken bones. The pain was so painful that he was breaking out in cold sweat. Just as he was about to resist the pain and fight back, he suddenly saw several silver needles in the hands of the little girl in front of him, and there was something like a smile on the corner of her mouth. There is a faint smile.

He suddenly felt horrified, and without any hesitation, his knees weakened and he knelt down.

"Save my life - I'll say anything as long as you can spare my life!"

The hand holding the silver needle curled up, and she reached out again and sprinkled it on the man's face at will. The man was unprepared and inhaled a lot of white powder and fell to the ground.

Unexpectedly, there were people trying to compete with her while sitting on the ground. Chao Hua shrank her legs, and the hair in front of her forehead was a little messy. Before the drunkenness completely dissipated, she stared and asked: "He Who is this? "

Shen Huai's preface is concise and concise, "Assassin, fainted."

She stretched out a hand towards Chaohua, pulled him up, and asked, "Can you leave?"

Chaohua nodded: "Yes."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, but his legs softened and he almost fell back to the ground.

Shen Huaixu had no choice but to support her with one hand and hold the assassin's collar with the other, walking along the stairs towards the plum garden.

Chaohua pointed at Meiyuan, "Did something happen? Why is it so messy down there?"

"Big deal, the baby exploded."

Hearing the word 'explosion', Chaohua finally sobered up a little. She had experienced this kind of thing personally, and it was very impressive. She shrank, grabbed Shen Huaixu's arm, and asked no more questions.

As soon as they entered the plum garden, someone rushed to Shen Huaixu, "County Lord, please save my sixth sister! Her face is burned!"

It's Yunxiu.

Chaohua told her that the third and sixth young ladies of the Yun family should be of the same mother.

Of these two people, one looked down on her and the other couldn't see her, but now they came to her with normal eyes.

Shen Huaixu glanced at Miss Yunliu who was crying not far away, and found that the burn was only a small blister on the chin. The injured person seemed to be afraid that he would not leave a scar, so he touched the small blister with his hand while crying.

She looked away and showed the person she was holding in her hand, "I have something to do with His Highness the County Prince. The doctor should be here soon. Miss Yun Liu, please be patient."

Only then did everyone notice the person in her hands, and they were immediately frightened and took several steps back. No one dared to step forward.

Chao Hua kicked the man and said, "This person is an assassin. Axu caught her. She is very capable, but not just anyone can hire her. If you are injured, go to a doctor. Axu is not from your family." Doctor, please give me some pointers."
