The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

The trees on the street were swaying in the wind and the rain was pouring down.

Jiang Muxia and Yin Yusheng agreed that if the weather was fine tomorrow, they would go to the outskirts of the city together to see the farm.

As they were leaving the tavern, the second watch gong sounded.

Because of the strong wind and heavy rain, the lanterns in front of many shops on the street were not lit, and the sky was pitch dark.

Cao Jun'an and Yin Yusheng stood at the door of the tavern to see the two people off, watching the carriage going away. It seemed as if it was swallowed by the darkness, and a little light turned a corner and disappeared.

In the corner of the window on the second floor opposite the wine house, a pair of eyes watched them go away. At this time, only the sound of wind and rain remained between heaven and earth.

She lowered the curtains, quickly changed into a black outfit, quietly jumped out of the window and walked quickly towards the east of the city.

As soon as she left, Cao Jun'an and Yin Yusheng appeared at the door of the tavern. They glanced at Ji Di who was about to disappear into the night, and waved to the second floor opposite.

Two men wearing straw raincoats and holding swords chased in the direction where Ji Di went.

The two people in front of the tavern turned around and went back to the second floor of the tavern.

Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.

Half an hour later, the man in the straw raincoat pushed open the door of the private room on the second floor of the tavern and reported to Cao Junan.

"My dear, Lord Lou's house is heavily guarded, and we only heard a little."

"Listen to what I told you."

"Ji Di went to Lord Lou's mansion to form an alliance. We heard that she was lobbying Lord Lou to use the death of the mother and her two children in Anchengfang to divert the blame to Lord Tang, so that they can reap the benefits. Only by getting rid of the Tang family, the capital will send someone else to serve in the county. As long as they can find the weakness of the new person, Chenliu County will still be their Lou family's territory in the future. The Lou family will be the only one who dominates the area."

"We think Lord Lou seems to be interested."

Cao Jun'an snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Of course he is tempted. The Lou family is too smart for their own good. Why do you think the emperor watched the Tang and Lou families fight and did nothing? It is because the two sides fight to check and balance each other. If Tang Shiyan was weak and could be bullied, the capital would have eliminated the Lou family long ago. It's ridiculous that they are still dreaming of dominating Chenliu. In my opinion, Governor Tang is still too kind."

"Should we inform Brother Tang and let him make preparations in advance?" Yin Yusheng said.

Cao Jun'an laughed and said, "Brother Yin, don't underestimate Governor Tang. Maybe he has already made all the preparations and is waiting for Lou Xiaofeng to fall into his trap."

"My dear, I have something else to report to you." The guard clasped his fists and said, "The two of us were able to get so much information because there was another group of people entangled with the guards in the mansion, which gave us the opportunity to eavesdrop."

Cao Jun'an pondered for a while before saying, "It seems that there are still people monitoring the Lou Mansion. From what you said, they should be friendly forces."

"Yes, they did not quarrel with us. Instead, they led us to Lord Lou's study and led away the guards in the mansion. We did not see them when we left."

"I understand. You've worked hard. Go down and have a good night's rest."

The two of them sat for a while and then went to the backyard of the tavern to rest.

When Jiang Muxia returned to Zhulinyuan, Qinghong and Caiyun hurried to greet her. One of them handed her a clean handkerchief while the other took the umbrella from her hand.

"Madam, I have boiled some water, please go and wash yourself."

"Okay. You don't have to wait on me. I'll call you when I'm done. I have something to tell you."

"Yes, ma'am."

Jiang Muxia sat in the bathtub, feeling refreshed. Although she didn't do any physical work that day, running around the city was tiring.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm water warming her body, driving away the coldness around her, allowing her skin to drink up the water and wash away the foul air of the day.

She changed into light and soft pajamas, dried her hair half-dry, and called someone in.

Qinghong saw that her skin was slightly red, she was full of moisture, and water droplets were dripping from the ends of her hair from time to time.

He said anxiously, "My lady, you don't take care of yourself. You must dry your hair. Otherwise, sleeping with wet hair will cause headaches."

As she spoke, she pulled a dry towel from the wooden rack in front of the door and wiped Jiang Muxia's hair without saying anything.

Jiang Muxia smiled and did not move, allowing her to do it.

Caiyun blinked her misty eyes and asked, "Madam, didn't you say you had something to tell us?"

Jiang Muxia lowered her eyes and frowned, and when she raised her head again, she was smiling.

"Yes, it would be a good thing for me, but I wonder if you two would be willing to do so?"

Qinghong never stopped wiping her hair, and just said lightly: "Whatever decision my lady makes, I agree with it."

Caiyun glanced at Qinghong and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"Madam asked for my opinion. If you two are willing, you can stay with me from now on. If you are not willing, it's fine. You can continue to stay in the mansion."

Caiyun was surprised and said, "Really? Of course I am willing. I heard from Tang Si that Suanzao County where my wife lives has a lot of food that can't even be found in the county town. The scenery is beautiful and the people are nice."

Jiang Muxia smiled and teased her, "I see you don't want to follow me, you want to eat delicious food."

Caiyun blushed and said embarrassedly, "My dear, you saw through all this."

The master and his servants were chatting and laughing in the room.

Tang Zhongbai came to the empty house next door through the secret door under the Shijingshan in Qiufengyuan.

"Master, Lou Quan is awake, but he won't eat or drink and won't say anything. What should we do?"

Tang Zhongbai held the umbrella and walked without stopping. He said coldly, "He will tell you."

Tang San pushed the door open, but Tang Zhongbai was standing at the doorway, not wanting to come in. He looked at the small door leading to the side yard, staring at the clear footprints on the ground, and asked, "Who's in the side yard?"

Tang Si shook his head, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It seems that the master sent him here, but I didn't dare to ask."

Tang Zhongbai turned and walked towards the small door in the side yard, but Tang San and Tang Si hurriedly stopped him. They dared not touch the people arranged by the master. If they ruined the master's plan, they would have their heads chopped off.

"Sir, no. Please don't make things difficult for me. The master won't forgive us." Tang Si stood in front of him and refused to let him go.

"Why are you panicking? You guys stay here and keep an eye on Lou Quan. I'll go and see who it is. I won't let Dad know."

"Young Master..." Tang Si had a bitter face, and he was about to cry out when he saw Tang Zhongbai take another step forward.

Tang Zhongbai had no choice but to put his thoughts aside for the time being and turned back.

At this time, the tightly closed small door creaked open from the inside, and a man holding a lantern stood in front of the door. Tang Zhongbai looked closely and found that it was his father's close confidant. There were two people following behind him, who were Hu Yu and Jiang Pizi.

"How could you...?" He suddenly understood that his father brought Wu Fan here to prevent Lou Xiaofeng from killing him.
