After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

"Chuncao, did you hear that!" Ning'er stood up in doubt. She ran to the lattice window and pointed in the direction where the scream came from.

Chuncao looked panicked: "I heard it, in the northeast direction!"

The rain was pouring down like a river, and the night outside the window was darker than thick ink.

The two little girls huddled together, using each other's body temperature to ease the fear in their hearts.

"It's a woman screaming." Ning'er said confidently, "She's in the Marquis' Mansion!"

"What happened? Could it be that the thief committed a crime?" Chuncao's voice was trembling a little.

After all, she was a girl younger than Ning'er. When she suddenly heard the shrill scream in the bitter wind and rain, she began to tremble with fear.

Ning'er had been through a lot, so she was a little calmer than Chuncao at this moment. She held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid. We are still far from here. We can stay in the house."

She called out, and several maids guarding outside immediately gathered around the girl.

Lingzhi was the oldest, and she bravely asked, "Girl, do you want me to go upstairs and take a look?"

Ning'er glanced out the dark window. After the scream, the mansion returned to silence, and the only sound between heaven and earth was the sound of wind and rain.

But this silence is more terrifying than the scream.

She hesitated and said, "Don't go out. Is the door locked?" She was asking about the outermost door.

Lingzhi hurriedly replied, "The servants locked the doors after dinner. I even counted them once, and everyone is here, not one less."

Ning Er praised her: "Well done. In this case, we should stay in the room and not go anywhere. If there are bad guys, it would be more dangerous to go out rashly at this time."

She asked everyone to wait where they were and she went into the inner room, where she took out the jade ring and the Qilin pendant from the embroidered bed.

She hesitated again and again, but hid the jade ring close to her body. Ning'er lowered her head and took a look at the vivid Qilin, a mythical beast on the jade pendant. Chu Huan said that Qilin was a beast of good fortune that could suppress evil and ward off evil spirits.

She held the white jade pendant tightly in her hand and said, "If what you said is true, please protect us this time."

Ning Er took a breath, walked through the hallway and told Zi Shan, "Turn off the light in the outermost room, and quietly open a window in the corner halfway, leaving a small gap so that you can listen to any movement outside at any time."

Then he ordered: "Lingzhi, you lead the maids to retreat to the outer room of my bedroom and guard. Light two more lamps so that everyone will not be afraid."

Ning'er became the backbone of these maids. She forced herself to calm down, as it was easier to make mistakes in a hurry.

She thought to herself, "If nothing happens, the old lady will probably send someone to comfort me within a quarter of an hour. If there is still no sound after a quarter of an hour, then that would be the most dangerous time."

Her eyes looked quietly towards the northeast, where was Guiyi Hall.

Luo Miaoyun stood up suddenly and looked out the window in horror: "Who is it? In my yard!"

She was about to ask someone to go out and check, but was stopped. She turned her head and saw an overturned teacup rolling down at Madam Liu's feet: "Miss, don't be in a hurry to go out."

There was tension and a hint of fear in her voice: "What if that villain is really lurking in the yard..."

Thinking of this possibility, Luo Miaoyun's face turned pale. She subconsciously took a step back, but accidentally stepped on the teacup and fell backwards!

Mother Liu hurried to pull her, but her reach was empty and she watched the young lady fall on her back.

Fortunately, there was a bed behind Luo Miaoyun, so although the fall was very painful, at least she did not break any bones.

She was seeing stars and was unable to get up for a long time. It was only after her mother Liu came to her senses after being shocked that she quickly and carefully helped her up.

Luo Miaoyun closed her eyes, took a few breaths, and then hurriedly called out, "Bai Juan, come in!"

Bai Juan was guarding outside the inner bedroom as she was instructed. She first heard the terrifying screams, and then heard a chaotic noise from the inner room. Due to her master's orders, she did not dare to go in without permission and was already extremely anxious.

At last, he got the order and hurried inside. When he saw his wife half lying in Madam Liu's arms with her eyes closed, he panicked: "What happened to the wife?"

Luo Miaoyun said hoarsely: "It's nothing, I just slipped without paying attention. What's going on outside?"

Bai Juan said: "Just now I suddenly heard a scream, and it sounded very close to us..."

Mrs. Luo interrupted her and asked, "Are you in Guiyi Hall?"

Bai Juan hurriedly said, "Zhu Xiao immediately took people to search the courtyard and confirmed that he was not in the courtyard."

"That's good." Before Mrs. Luo could finish her breath, she heard her say, "So Zhu Xiao quickly put on her straw raincoat and took people out to check."

Luo Miaoyun sat up immediately after hearing this. She glared and scolded, "How foolish! How can you go out so easily at this time? Who knows if this is not a trick by the bad guys to deliberately lure you out so that they can sneak in when there is an opportunity!"

Bai Juan suddenly woke up from her dream and stamped her feet, saying, "Oh no! What should I do? Zhu Xiao has been out for a while!"

A damp fear crawled up Luo Miaoyun's back, making her hair stand on end.

She said subconsciously: "Light the lights! Gather the rest of the people together!"

----

"Boom boom boom!"

Ning'er was sitting around the table with everyone else, nervously watching what was happening outside the window, not daring to make a sound.

Suddenly, there was a very clear knock on the door!

Lingzhi and the others were so frightened that their faces changed, but they dared not say a word. How could that person enter the yard silently? Without making any sound.

But he knocked on the door so brazenly.

"Boom boom boom!"

Seeing that the person in the room did not answer, the person knocking on the door became obviously anxious and knocked even more urgently.

The whole house was in deathly silence.

"Miss Ning!" The man suddenly called out Ning'er's name, and the voice was unexpectedly young: "Miss Ning, open the door, I am Xiao Ding's apprentice!"

Xiao Ding!

Ning'er was stunned. When she heard the name, she subconsciously believed it.

She held the jade pendant in her hand, and under Chuncao's anxious gaze, she slowly stood up and asked in a deep voice, "What evidence do you have?"

The clear voice was silent for a moment before it spoke: "I once served under Wuxiang."

Horse without form!

This is Chu Huan’s man!

Before Ning'er realized this, her body had already reacted before her brain. Chuncao had no time to stop her and could only watch Ning'er walk briskly out of the room.

She took some effort and as soon as she opened the door, the torrential rain, accompanied by strong winds, rushed in.

Standing outside was a young man in black, who was soaking wet, with a black robe and arrow sleeves, and a long sword on his back. He had a calm expression, and even in this stormy night, his eyes were still as bright as stars and as sharp as an eagle.

As soon as he saw Ning'er, he knelt down neatly and said in a low voice: "This subordinate greets Master Ning."

His voice was very light, but every word was clear: "I am Master Chu's man, and I have been ordered to protect Master Ning. The matter is urgent, and I don't have time to report it first. If there is any offense, I will come to accept the punishment later."

Ning'er was completely shocked by his actions and stood there. She could only watch him hold the hilt of the sword and straddle the door.

He said softly, "With me here, Master Ning, just rest in peace. I will never let any bird or beast disturb your peace."

Ning'er opened her mouth, and after a long while she finally remembered to ask, "What should I call you?"

"Your subordinate Han Guang."
