He was silent along the way, but Rao Tu knew that he had regrets. This person has always been like this. Even if he knew he was wrong, he would never admit his mistake.

She didn't speak any more, just wiped the tears from her face and lowered her head to read quietly.

Shen Zhu sent her back to the small courtyard and left, and Yang Qian who stayed behind found someone to arrange the fire dragon. With a drapery and hat covering his face, the craftsmen in the courtyard were busy all day, building a square-pipe flue with bricks under the surface of the house. When the work was finished at dusk, the mountain ghost lit the fire in the kitchen, and the house warmed up within a short time.

The workers recruited by Yang Qian have good skills, and the ground fire doesn't have a choking smell of smoke. Rao Tu finally doesn't need to wear a heavy cloak in the house. In the evening, when she was reading under the lamp, the mountain ghost brought a charcoal brazier with a tin can of sweet confectionery hanging on it.

Rao Tu looked at the mountain ghost who was busy and busy, and said with a smile, "Are you planning to stay longer?"

Shan Gui said: "It's actually pretty good here, no one bothers you, you can do whatever you want."

Rao Tu made a sound of "um", nodded and said, "It's unsatisfactory, but it's a blessing to get one or two. You and I are not suffering from hunger and cold in this cold winter, but I don't know how many people died of starvation on the road."

The mountain ghost smiled and said: "Girl, you say that like an old monk who gave up all fate and took refuge in the Three Jewels."

"Let go of all fate?" She smiled, "Good fate ends, evil fate arises, I can't let go."

The mountain ghost came to the low stool beside her and sat down, "There is a strange thing, do you want to hear it, girl?"

Rao Tu glanced at her, "If you want to say it, just say it, don't hang your appetite."

The mountain ghost stuck out his tongue and whispered in her ear, "When I left the city today, Princess Xunyang went to the Shen Zhu mansion."

"Oh? Princess Xunyang... the princess who insisted on marrying Shen Zhu?"

"Yeah, when it comes to that princess, it's strange. She wanted to marry Lord Shen, but after being rejected by him, she even said that she was willing to be a concubine regardless of her identity. I don't know if she was rejected. She was supposed to be a beautiful embryo, why Shen Adults don't want to have pity?"

"The emperor's daughter, he can't bear it. With his temperament, even if the princess is really a fairy, he would never dare to provoke it." Rao Tu stared at the candlelight and thoughtfully.

The little girl nodded in agreement and said neither yin nor yang: "Sir Shen likes to provoke the brothel girls, so there is nothing to be taboo about."

Rao Tu stood up and walked around the stove, muttering: "The princess went to the Shen residence today, but Shen Zhu took me out of the city. You said, if you were Pei Qingwei, would you invite the princess to the residence to talk about the past? Woolen cloth?"

"Pei Qingwei is jealous and has old grudges with the princess. How can these two talk about it?" Shan Gui was puzzled.

Rao Tu shook her head and smiled and said, "With Pei's scheming, she can talk about Lord Shen's latest new love."

The mountain ghost was startled, then got up and said, "Could it be that Pei Qingwei wants to stab you at Princess Xunyang?"

Rao Tu sneered: "She should know that I'm here, but she didn't do anything. It turned out that she wanted to get rid of me under the guise of the princess. The snipe and clam fought, and the fisherman profited. It was a good chess move!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a heavy slap on the door, "Recently, there has been rampant prostitution. I will be ordered to come and search, and quickly open the door!"

Rao Tu pondered for a while, and ordered the mountain ghost to call Yang Qian, who was guarding the courtyard, and Yang Qian said: "Madam, please rest assured, I will send them away."

"Don't go, they want to search for prostitutes, and see you here as a man, how can you tell me clearly? Go back from the wall and report to Lord Shen."

"This... Master Shen ordered the little girl to protect her, so she didn't dare to leave an inch."

Rao Tu's tone was calm: "Then let me tell you, the soldiers from Princess Xunyang's palace are coming from outside the door. You can't stop them, and you can't protect me."

Yang Qian was still a little hesitant, and the mountain ghost stomped his feet and said, "Why are you so rigid! Hurry up and move the rescuers!"

The voices outside the door were chaotic, and Yang Qian listened to it. I am afraid that there were no less than twenty people coming, and he really couldn't stop it with his skills. He clasped his fists and said to Raotu, "Girl, let's go around for a while, and then go back at a low speed." As he went out and climbed up the wall, his figure rose and fell a few times in the dark and disappeared.

Rao Tu instructed the mountain ghost: "Go to the door, don't do anything."
