Chen Shujun is open-minded, but after all, she is her daughter's family, so her face will inevitably show embarrassment when talking about this matter.
"The fifth young master did not blame the slave!"
Taoye replied softly.
"This slave was unconscious that day and has not yet thanked Miss Chen for her help!"
"What are you doing? I want to say thank you, it was you who sacrificed your life to save me!"
Chen Shujun grabbed the person.
"Okay, don't thank me again and again. In short, we are all lucky people to survive this disaster!"
Chen Shujun saw Taoye moving her lips, probably wanting to talk about who saved whom, so she joked.
Tao Ye replied with a bright smile.
She was not born blessed, but she has been working hard for this blessing.
The two of them walked forward for a while until they came out of the garden. Chen Shujun stopped them: "Just send them here. You're not feeling well yet. Go back and rest!"
Taoye did not refuse this good intention.
After watching Chen Shujun lead the maid away, he walked to the other side.
After taking a few steps, a person came out of the corner and faced her.
When Taoye saw the face of the visitor, she trembled slightly and took a step back: "I have seen the young master!"
"stand up!"
A gentle voice sounded from above.
"It's you! I heard that you were kidnapped by thieves at the hunting ground. Are you okay?"
When Rong Yue saw it was Tao Ye, her hand behind her back moved slightly.
"Thank you for your concern, young master. I'm fine with you!"
Tao Ye lowered her body and replied respectfully.
"Looking at the look on your face, it seems that you are seriously injured. The Wei family members are also so rampant that they even started looking for trouble in the royal hunting grounds. The fifth brother couldn't help but arrested you!"
People from the Wei family?
The eldest young master already knows that the person who kidnapped him is the second young master Wei?
"It's no coincidence that this slave girl heard something that Young Master Wei wanted to harm the Fifth Young Master. She was so panicked that she made a noise, and that's when she was discovered!"
The young master already has a share of the hunting ground.
What happened the night before was not a secret. I just heard from Miss Xie San that the Second Young Master Wei was severely beaten by the Third Young Master Gu. The news that the Second Young Master Wei intended to kill the Fifth Young Master should have spread.
But she didn't know how much the eldest young master knew.
"What a coincidence...you are really fifth brother's lucky star!"
The smile on Rong Yue's face became gentler. If Taoye hadn't known what the person in front of him had done, she would have thought that the eldest young master was sincerely happy for the fifth young master's safe return.
"I don't dare to be a slave!"
The most frightening person is a person who talks like a Buddha and has a snake-like heart. On the surface, he responds respectfully and calmly, but in fact, the string in his heart is always tense.
"The second young master of the Wei family acts arbitrarily. I only knew that he had some quarrels with the fifth brother before. I didn't expect that the relationship has become so bad. You heard other things that day. I'm afraid that he will be betrayed by Gu San this time before the matter is accomplished." The young master is seriously injured and will be harmful to the fifth brother!"
"The servant only heard one sentence and was discovered by Master Wei Er. He didn't hear anything else..."
Taoye had a look of annoyance on her face as she spoke, as if she really regretted not being able to hear more useful words.
But in his heart, he was thinking that the eldest young master knew that he was kidnapped by the second young master Wei, but he did not know the details or what he heard.
"That's it..."
Taoye felt that the eldest young master's probing eyes were falling on her.
"Did anything else happen the night before? I heard that an assassin in black appeared in the hunting ground."
Rong Yue said and took a step to the side, getting closer to Tao Ye.
Black assassin? The first thing Taoye thought of was the person who was shot to death by an arrow from the people next to Master Wei Er at the foot of the mountain that day.
The gentle voice sounded particularly gloomy in her ears, and Taoye took a step back unconsciously.
This avoidance movement was very obvious, and a cold light flashed in Rong Yue's eyes in surprise.
"Be careful!"
Taoye didn't expect that the person in front of her would actually reach out to her. She leaned back, and the foot behind her just stepped on the cobblestones on the roadside.
Just as he was about to fall to the ground, he fell into a strange embrace.
Taoye's breathing stopped for a moment, because it was the eldest young master who hugged her.
And Rong Yue also looked blank. He originally wanted to get close to this maid and wanted to test more things, but he didn't expect that this maid actually avoided him like a snake and a scorpion.
As soon as his heart moved, he took action and pulled the person into his arms.
There was no one passing by at this time.
Being so close, the fear and avoidance in Tao Ye's eyes fell into Rong Yue's eyes.
The hesitation in her heart became even worse. Just when Rong Yue was about to take the opportunity to test a few words, she heard a lazy voice coming from behind.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
It was the fifth young master. When Taoye heard this voice, he pushed Rong Yue away suddenly regardless of his superiority and the pain involved.
Rong Yue was stunned for a moment by the voice behind her. Tao Ye pushed with such force that her frail body tilted involuntarily and she held onto the courtyard wall to steady herself.
"It's the fifth brother!"
Rong Yue stood firm and when she turned around, there was no look of embarrassment on her face, let alone embarrassment.
"I happened to meet this maid just now, so I casually asked her a few questions about the hunting ground. Later I saw that the maid couldn't stand upright for a moment, so I gave her a hand. I hope my fifth brother won't be offended!"
"Indeed, my maid is very squeamish. She would be tired if she walked a few steps on weekdays. If she hadn't happened to meet my eldest brother today, she might have fallen out!"
"That would make me feel bad!"
Rong Jiu took Tao Ye, who was standing beside him with his head bowed, and his doting and lazy eyes fell on the person in his arms.
Taoye didn't dare to look up and was held in his arms obediently.
"The fifth brother is now as good as the second brother when it comes to caring for women and cherishing beautiful women. However, women are misleading, so you should exercise some restraint!"
Rong Yue advised gently.
"Thank you for the instruction, brother!"
Rong Jiu took Tao Ye forward a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned around.
"There is something I don't understand. Yesterday at my father's place, I already explained everything about the danger in the hunting ground in detail. My eldest brother was also present. Why are you still asking this maid of mine today?"
"Is it possible that brother wants to know something more interesting? Just ask me directly next time!"
"I will definitely keep my words!"
Their eyes met.
"My eldest brother has been out of the academy for many years and is really unfamiliar with Qiu Shou. If he has some free time, he will definitely bother the fifth brother!"
After a while, Rong Yue replied with a smile.
"Brother Jinghou!"
Rong Jiu nodded casually, hugged Tao Ye's waist, and continued to walk forward leisurely.
Turning around the courtyard wall, Taoye thought that the Fifth Young Master would let go of her, but the hand on her waist did not move at all.
She suddenly remembered that when she was in the academy, the fifth young master misunderstood that she was having an affair with another man and treated her so roughly without explanation, and she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
She couldn't bear it in her current state.
"Master, I realize my mistake!"
Therefore, as soon as she entered the courtyard, Taoye turned around in Rong Jiu's arms, hugged her waist, and whispered softly.
