"open!"
Rong Jiu's expression was frighteningly serious.
Taoye's heart beat fiercely when she saw it, but she didn't dare to really let go.
Xingyun and Guiyun who were following behind him, as well as the boy in the yard, all lowered their heads when they saw their posture.
Seeing that the person in her arms didn't move, Rong Jiu simply picked him up and strode towards the study.
Until he was placed on the couch and touched the warmth and coolness, Tao Ye couldn't help but shrink inward.
Her body really couldn't withstand the torture, but the fifth young master looked really bad, and if he wanted to do something to her, she couldn't resist.
Taoye quickly thought of ways to deal with it.
When the hand really reached out, Taoye avoided it subconsciously in horror.
"Fifth Young Master, the eldest young master just asked me what happened on the hunting ground and asked me if I heard anything else that night. I didn't know that the eldest young master would suddenly reach out and grab me!"
"This slave was just thinking about how to deal with the young master, and didn't pay attention for a moment, so..."
Tao Ye looked at the deep and cool gaze, moved over again, and leaned lightly on Rong Jiu's arm.
But that body was uncontrollably tense.
Rong Jiu lowered her eyes slightly, stretched out her right hand and landed on the waist of Tao Ye's skirt. Feeling her body trembling slightly under her hand, she gently opened the lace.
Seeing that the fifth young master's movements were not rough, Taoye felt relieved and his whole body softened.
The shirt was not taken off, but the back was pushed open a little. However, after a moment, the waist of the skirt was slightly tightened, and the skirt was tied up again.
Taoye originally thought that the fifth young master just wanted to see if there were any traces of being frivolous on her body.
But when his arms were raised, the wide sleeves outside slipped off, and he felt the eyes focused on the white cloth strips.
Could it be that the fifth young master was checking to see if his wound had opened.
Taoye was thinking about something in her mind, and her expression was slightly stunned.
"Why, weren't you very brave outside just now?"
When Rong Jiu saw Tao Ye like that, she thought she was afraid of herself.
"This slave has misunderstood the fifth young master!"
Taoye leaned into Rong Jiu's arms and said in a soft voice.
"I thought you were angry..."
"This young master is indeed angry with you!"
Taoye only said half a sentence before being interrupted by Rong Jiu.
"Didn't I tell you to stay away from the eldest young master last time? He is usually very successful, but now he is extremely stupid!"
Rong Jiu knew his eldest brother's temperament, so he didn't think that the little maid would be taken lightly from the beginning.
"The eldest young master wants to talk to you, but you won't find an excuse to come back and let him press you over there?"
"He just asked a few words today. If he wants to do something else, where will you wait?"
Rong Jiu said the words of reprimand, but her tone was not very harsh, but rather persuasive.
Taoye's heart was focused on Rong Jiu at the moment, so she felt it, and was a little surprised at this gentleness.
It seems that after returning from the hunting ground, the fifth young master's attitude towards him has softened a lot.
"That night, I heard Master Wei Er said that the eldest young master was also involved in the danger of the fifth young master on the hunting ground, so I wanted to take this opportunity to hear from the eldest young master and get some useful information so that I could tell the fifth young master back!"
"And just now when the young master was questioning me, I remembered that at the foot of the mountain the night before, in addition to Wei... the master and servant, there was also a man in black who was shot dead!"
"If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have been discovered!"
Xu was mentioning the thrill of that night, and Taoye trembled slightly at the end.
"The slave suspects that the man in black is coming for the slave. He also has a rope and a dagger on him!"
"Fifth Young Master, I didn't hide it intentionally. It's just that I just woke up that day and I was afraid...I didn't dare to think deeply about those things later!"
As a maid in a house, she saw live people being shot and killed in front of her, so it was normal for her to be afraid.
"My servant is of a low status, and I can't think of anyone else. I thought it must be related to the fifth young master!"
As long as the fifth young master's taboo secrets in the back house were not involved, Taoye did not hide his intelligence very much.
If you want to gain some position in your master's heart, sex is certainly a shortcut, but there is no shortage of beautiful women around these young masters, and they will become nothing more than boring vases after looking at them for a long time.
"Did you ever see a man with a scar on his right hand when you were at the hunting ground?"
Rong Jiu was somewhat interested in this little maid at that time, also because of her agility and intelligence.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Taoye can guess this.
"have!"
Taoye replied without thinking.
"When I returned to my tent after lunch that day, I bumped into a sergeant. When the man came to help me, I saw a long scar on my left hand!"
"Could it be...that the man in black is him!"
Taoye remembered that the sergeant had indeed bumped into her intentionally, and even looked at her face several times.
Is it to recognize someone?
But that man had been waiting there for a long time, and he didn't recognize him before. Someone must have told him the time of his return.
And maybe what she was wearing.
Rong Jiu nodded: "Zuo Weiwei's people found this man's body at the foot of the mountain!"
The hunting ground was extremely chaotic that night, with many casualties.
After the accident, Zuo Weiwei's people were busy cleaning up the aftermath and escorting the students back to the academy. It was not until they searched the mountain later that they discovered the man's body.
Taoye had already guessed a few things before, but her face still showed an appropriate expression of surprise.
"Fifth Young Master..."
"You know you're scared?"
Rong Jiu deliberately turned cold.
The little maid looks soft, but sometimes she is very courageous.
Now even in the house, he is willing to protect her, but if something unexpected happens, he may not be able to protect her every time.
It would be better to let her have a longer memory.
"Don't be afraid, slave. The fifth young master will protect you!"
Taoye heard that Rong Jiu was just talking coldly, so she was not afraid. Instead, she leaned softly into Rong Jiu's arms.
The body under his hand was gentle and soft, and the autumn-like eyes were full of trust, which made Rong Jiu's throat roll.
Tao Ye leaned into Rong Jiu's arms several times, and now her whole body was embraced in his arms. The two of them were very familiar with each other's bodies.
I soon realized something was wrong.
She was just thinking about calming down the fifth young master, so she unconsciously went too far in teasing him.
"I won't leave, I want to see the Fifth Young Master! Go away!"
Just at this moment, there was a noise in the yard.
"Manager Zhao, please say something for me. I don't want to go to the farm, for the sake of..."
"Hurry up and shut up the man's mouth. If you disturb the master, you will have to take the blame!"
As soon as Zhao Jin finished speaking, his voice was just a whimper.
"They are just some villains who are ignorant. Don't blame Manager Zhao!"
It was the low-pitched laughter of the boys.
"Take the person away quickly, don't miss the master's words!"
"Yes Yes!"
After a while, calm returned to the courtyard.
"What are you thinking about?"
Interrupted by a burst of noise outside, the desire that had just arisen in Rong Jiu's heart faded away.
