In the evening, the villa was so quiet that a needle could be heard, and it was completely gone from the hustle and bustle surrounded by servants during the day.

Wu Zhao lives on the second floor by himself, and the servant's room is at the back of the villa.And at dinner today, the utility room where the little girl lived, who asked Tracy specifically, had to go through the long corridor full of servants on both sides after getting down from the master bedroom.

Wu Zhao looked down at the dark corridor and frowned. Georgiana had never been to the servant's room at the back of the villa, so Wu Zhao was not familiar with this road in the memory she received. Make it difficult for her.

When he was hesitating, the handrail of the downstairs stairs suddenly rang twice dully, obviously someone knocked on it - Darcy lived downstairs.

Wu Zhao was startled, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he was trying to find a reason for himself to go out in the middle of the night, when he heard a voice coming from the stairs, "Miss Darcy."——It was Stuart's voice.

The light of a kerosene lamp slowly moved towards Wu Zhao from the compartment behind the stairs, and then slowly stopped at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor.

"Mr. Stuart, you don't sleep in your room in the middle of the night, where are you going with the light on?" Wu Zhao preemptively, she was afraid that Darcy would come out, so she couldn't explain it.Stuart had nothing to fear.

Wu Zhao walked down the stairs slowly, raised his eyebrows and looked at Stuart under the dim light, and teased, "Are you here to enjoy the moonlight?"

Stuart raised the lamp in his hand to illuminate the steps under Wu Zhao's feet, but he lowered his head to stare at her footsteps, as if Wu Zhao accidentally stepped on the air, and ignored Wu Zhao's teasing.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wu Zhao simply didn't bother to pretend to be a cute image in front of Darcy. She stopped two or three stairs away from Stuart, took advantage of the height to lift Stuart's chin, and squinted her eyes against the light. Sighing: "It is true that beauties are rare, but the beauties who are knowledgeable and interesting are the most lovable. Your Excellency's behavior in the middle of the night does not look like that of nobles."

Stuart felt the cool slender fingers slide slowly on the side of his cheek, and a shudder rushed up from his neck.He said in a hoarse voice: "Ask Miss Darcy, how can you be considered knowledgeable and interesting?"

Wu Zhao let go of the hand holding his chin, shrugged, "You are very knowledgeable this morning."

"I see." Stuart bowed slightly, and handed out the lamp he was carrying, "Please do yourself, Miss Darcy. I will watch for you."

Although Wu Zhao wondered why he came here late at night and was so kind, but he was really anxious to see Qing Niang.She hooked the corners of her lips slightly, took the lamp and walked deep into the corridor without turning back. Stuart looked at her thin back and heard a lazy voice from a distance, "Thank you!"

Stuart took a deep breath, he didn't know what happened to him.After coming to Darcy's villa, the original habits have completely changed.

Just like today, he not only concealed the truth for Miss Darcy, but also knew that she would definitely go to the beggar at night, so he found a lamp under the stairs and waited for her to come out.

"It's almost like being tempted by the devil." Stuart secretly spurned himself in his heart,

But he was very honest in his actions, always standing at one end of the corridor and watching the movements in the villa.

But Wu Zhao carried the lamp and walked away very at ease.

The light of the kerosene lamp is not very bright, but it is enough in the dark. There are maids living on both sides of the corridor, and they are all asleep at this time, and only the faint sound of breathing can be heard.Holding her breath, Wu Zhao walked slowly through the long corridor, turned to the left at the end, and indeed saw the light of a candle protruding from the crack in the door of the utility room.

She stood quietly in front of the door, and after a long while, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed the door open.

Almost at the same time as the door opened, a black figure rushed out of the room, kneeled on the ground with a plop, took two steps forward, and hugged Wu Zhao's thigh tightly.

The little girl whimpered several times, and said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty! I am Qing Niang!"

Even though he heard the news early in the morning, now that he heard it clearly again, the excitement and shock that Wu Zhao suppressed during the day in order not to be discovered by Darcy became more violent.

"Young lady? Are you really Qingniang?" She asked repeatedly in disbelief, and even looked at this thin and small child who was eight or nine years old with suspicion, "How do you prove it?"

"This! This!" Qing Niang hurriedly took out a golden hairpin from her bosom and stuffed it into Wu Zhao's hand, "Reward my golden hairpin!"

Wu Zhao took the hairpin and examined it carefully.

The carving of that golden hairpin is pretty exquisite, but it is far from perfect. It is something that ordinary wealthy people in the Tang Dynasty can have.It was one of a set of jewelry that she found when she checked the warehouse after entering the palace to overthrow Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu.

But this set of jewellery, which was not perfect, was treasured and placed in the most important place in the queen's treasury.

Wu Zhao couldn't figure it out, but no matter how hard she asked the king and queen, she couldn't find the answer.Anyway, this set of jewelry can't be returned, so she simply divided this set of jewelry among others.

The crown was kept by herself, and the hairpin was given to Qingniang as a dowry when she got married, and there was also a pair of bracelets, which were given to...

"The gold bracelet is given to Jingxi!"

Just as Wu Zhao was thinking, Qing Niang yelled first, "Your Majesty, you have rewarded Jingxi!"

Now Wu Zhao really believed that the one in front of him was Qing Niang.

She raised Qingniang's weeping little face distressedly, and comforted her softly, "You are all reincarnated from a seventy or eighty-year-old old thing, why are you still crying like this? Don't cry, if you cry any more, I will feel distressed." gone."

Qingniang buried herself in Wu Zhao's hand with a sob, and swallowed even more: "Uh, I, I don't want to cry either. But Your Majesty, I can't help seeing you again... I thought, I thought... "

The next words were swallowed by Qing Niang.

But Wu Zhao understood what she wanted to say, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is also a loyal one.For the first time, Wu Zhao started to tease Qing Niang.

She put on a sad face, and vomited bitterness to Qingniang. The food in England was unbearable, "I have vomited several times since I came here, and I haven't missed you or your craftsmanship for a moment. Time. Now is good, you are here, at least I don’t have to eat those simple and unpalatable food anymore. If I continue to toss, if the fire in Shangyang Palace didn’t burn me to death, I will starve to death first!”

Mother made her laugh out of tears, and hurriedly wiped away her tears and said: "I will cook all your meals for you in the future!"

"Isn't that all right?" Wu Zhao replied softly.

Qingniang lowered her head in embarrassment.

The two were chatting happily, when suddenly two fake coughs came from outside the door, and the sound seemed to be coming from Stuart's direction.

Wu Zhao got up quickly, took the kerosene lamp that Qing Niang hurriedly handed over, and whispered: "You stay well, we will meet again tomorrow."

Qing Niang quickly nodded in agreement, and was about to say something to Wu Zhao, when the coughing outside became more and more urgent, and she didn't care about anything else, so she hurried to the door and opened it to have a look, "No one—— Your Majesty you go?"

Wu Zhao nodded, and slipped out of the corridor along the original path still holding the lamp.She had barely reached the end of the corridor when she heard Stuart talking to Mrs. Reynolds in a slightly higher than usual voice.Wu Zhao quickly blew out the lights and hid in the corridor. He heard the conversation outside stopped, and Mrs. Reynolds walked away and came out slowly.

As expected, Stuart was waiting for her at the entrance of the corridor. After Wu Zhao came out, he also let out a sigh of relief.

The two looked at each other, and Wu Zhao took the lead to step up the stairs, "Thank you tonight, Your Excellency Earl. My work has been done, I wish you a sweet dream."

Stuart looked at Wu Zhao with helplessness in his eyes, and he took a few steps back, bowed down, and said, "You are so ruthless, you don't even give me a chance to be courteous - please allow me to serve you I'll keep an eye on Wickham's affairs."
