Chapter 768: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 29
After the agent left, Miaomiao took Xiao Yunzhou to see their new home again.
It was getting dark. Fortunately, I was still in the house. The town's real estate agent had already lit the lights in all the rooms.
After looking at it more carefully, Miaomiao found that she liked this house even more.
The bluestone patio in the courtyard was swept clean and shiny, without even a fallen leaf in the cracks between the bricks. There was not even the slightest trace of moss, which is most likely to appear in summer, as if it had been picked clean with a fine needle.
The window lattices of the west wing were covered with newly painted snow-blue sandpaper. Through the light, one could see freshly picked roses inserted in the celadon vase on the antique display cabinet. These were cut by the town's real estate agent from the small garden in the courtyard and inserted there.
Not to mention the quilt and bed that Miaomiao originally thought were just old.
When I looked more closely, I found that the quilt was indigo blue. It probably had not been washed yet, but it looked extremely clean. The cotton inside was very soft and seemed very resistant to dirt.
"Wow, this quilt is softer than the ones I bought before. It was worth it."
Miaomiao pinched the corner of the quilt and admired it, speaking from the heart. In fact, she felt that this house was more like an old man who had emptied out his savings to give it to a new couple to live in. If the quilt had not been so blue, Miaomiao would have been even more suspicious.
Xiao Yunzhou sighed lightly. He didn't follow. His secret guards did a great job. The goods looked so good that they didn't even look like they were for sale.
Xiao Yunzhou frowned slightly, not intending to tell Miaomiao that this was the house he had asked the secret guards to find. In the countryside, those old ladies were too familiar with Miaomiao.
Ling Aniu left, but Ling Dazhuang came in. In short, a group of people saw that the orphan girl was living a good life and wanted to get a piece of the pie. Maybe they had no ill intentions, but to Xiao Yunzhou, those people were there to steal his girl.
With so many books in the room, one can naturally see how small the room is, not to mention the paper-covered windows. It's okay during the day, but the room starts to get dim in the evening, and it's really crowded and dark to sit there.
As you feel more and more uncomfortable with the new environment, you will naturally start thinking about moving house.
However, Xiao Yunzhou remembered that when he gave the instructions, time was too tight and he didn't make it clear that what he wanted was for the bedrooms to be together and closely connected.
But now it's like this, one is east and the other is west, and there's an ear room in the middle...
"There are exactly two master bedrooms. You can stay in the east one."
Miaomiao pushed open the door of the east wing and saw a wall-long bookshelf made of golden nanmu wood. There were many books on the shelves that Miaomiao had never heard of, and they looked very high-end.
"That's strange! I bought this room for 30 taels. taels can't buy such a nice house with so many furniture."
At this time, Miaomiao found something wrong, mainly because the things had been negotiated, such as the model house of Blue Star Modern.
You can just move in with your luggage.
"The court has been unstable recently, and some of the wealthy and idle people in this town have their own families behind them. Naturally, some will choose to leave."
Xiao Yunzhou said simply.
Miaomiao nodded, without asking any more questions, but walked towards the west wing. The two sides were a bit far apart, and Miaomiao was secretly excited.
However, Xiao Yunzhou did not follow him. He just lowered his head and remained silent. He no longer had the excitement he had just shown when he followed Miaomiao to move to a new home.
"Sister, this room can be converted into a study. I still want to live closer to you.
Moreover, the beams of this house look like they are about to collapse..."
Xiao Yunzhou lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes cast a trembling shadow under his eyes, just covering up the regretful light in his eyes.
Miaomiao looked up at the beams of the house. The thick wood was there and there was no sign of collapse. But Miaomiao had been with Xiao Yunzhou for a long time and knew that the immature boy in front of her was expressing his loneliness in his own way.
She didn't say stupidly that the house wouldn't collapse, but just sighed as a sign of agreement.
In the end, Miaomiao's room remained unchanged, and Xiao Yunzhou moved into the room next to Miaomiao as he wished, treating the room that might collapse as his future study.
"By the way, there are still a few empty rooms. When the time comes, your subordinates and the like should be able to live there. If not, you can buy a few more when you move to a new house. You gave us too much."
Miaomiao yawned and couldn't wait to go back to the house to rest.
Xiao Yunzhou's hands holding the quilt suddenly froze, and then he spoke after a long silence.
"Forget it. They are men after all, and they always smell like horse manure. It would be inconvenient for them to live together.
It would be nice to have them live nearby when the time comes.”
Xiao Yunzhou spoke nonsense seriously.
Miaomiao nodded, and was reserved about what Xiao Yunzhou said. Perhaps he had his own ideas and didn't want to get involved in their more private matters.
But for Miaomiao, it really doesn't matter.
Knowing too many secrets of others and intervening in too many affairs of other people's families will really make you die quickly. She is just a martial arts master, not immortal, so she still needs to take it easy.
Miaomiao nodded, went into the house and went to sleep with a smile.
After Miaomiao left, Xiao Yunzhou also carried a quilt into the room which was only separated from Miaomiao by a wall. Although the room was smaller, it was much closer.
Xiao Yunzhou even used his internal strength to move the wooden bed on the other side to the location of Miaomiao's bed overnight, so that there was only a wall between them.
Only after everything was done did Xiao Yunzhou sit down on the edge of the bed again and took out a letter from his sleeve. It was handed to him by the agent who had just left when he turned around.
"After Zhang Baizhong received the news of Gao's misfortune, he fled with his family. On a small trail in Nanshan, he encountered bandits and was stoned to death. No trace of his body was found.
The entire Zhang family was wiped out, and evidence of bribery and treason was found in the carriage by the government. The case was closed as a case of bandits killing corrupt officials.
Xiao Yunzhou's face was stern, and he finally placed the note in his hand on the candle flame and burned it as soon as it was consumed.
It's better to die. Betraying a close friend and selling out one's master for personal gain is a worthy death.
He understood the principle that one must remove the roots of the grass to avoid endless troubles.
It was as if his survival at that time was the greatest retribution for these people.
The candle in Miaomiao's room was extinguished early. After reading the letter, Xiao Yunzhou leaned on the bed. Without Miaomiao's breathing, he was unable to sleep, which was rare.
Until he put his ear to the cold brick and finally heard Miaomiao's even breathing...
