On the day of the Lantern Festival, the Fu family surrounded the fake Zhou Jin and left the palace. In order to prevent someone from approaching, they naturally had to concentrate their troops and strictly prevent them. In this way, the garrison in the palace became weak and had an opportunity to take advantage of, which gave Zhou Jin the opportunity to counterattack.

On this day, Zhou Jin and Zhuang Li left very early. When Zhou Jin left, he hugged Xu Shu very hard. He had never been afraid of escaping from death many times before. But now, he has Xu Shu and concern, and his mood is no longer the same as before.

Originally, Zhou Jin wanted to leave Zhuang Li to protect Xu Shu, but Zhou Jin went there in danger. Xu Shu was even more worried about Zhou Jin's safety, so she refused to leave Zhuang Li. Zhou Jin had no choice but to take Zhuang Li away, but he still arranged people around the house to protect him secretly.

The Lantern Festival will only become lively at night, and the Fu family will only be out at night. Zhou Jin naturally has to wait until night to act. The brightly lit night cannot see the tide flowing in the dark, and the streets and alleys full of laughter and joy are filled with people running around. They do not know what kind of murderous intent is hidden behind this excitement.

During the day, the wind was calm and the waves were calm. At night, Xu Shu still started to feel restless. She held the embroidery needle in her hand for a long time and never stabbed it. Occasionally, she still stabbed her fingers on her fingers. After the puncture, she still didn't react.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiayi took away the needle and thread, "I'll make you a cup of tea!"

Xu Shu shook her head, "No need!" Then when she wanted to continue embroidery, she found that there was nothing in her hand and couldn't help but be stunned.

Xiao Jiayi sighed, "Don't worry, it's useless to worry! Since the emperor has already made arrangements, he will definitely succeed!"

Xu Shu also knew that worrying was useless, but she still couldn't help but worrying...

"Aren't you worried about Zhuang Li?"

Xu Shu looked at Xiao Jiayi's calm face and was a little curious. Xiao Jiayi and Zhuang Li were so close. Logically speaking, Xiao Jiayi should also be very worried about Zhuang Li's safety!

"What are you worried about him?" Xiao Jiayi curled his lips, "He is not someone of me, so I don't bother to worry about him!"

Xiao Jiayi's tone was a bit resentful. Was she complaining that Zhuang Li didn't propose marriage to her? Xu Shu couldn't help but be curious. Zhuang Li believed that he trusted Xiao Jiayi very much. Zhuang Li could trust someone wholeheartedly, which shows how much this person is in his heart, but why didn't Zhuang Li marry Xiao Jiayi? Xiao Jiayi is so old, he is also very anxious! Zhuang Li really doesn't understand women's thoughts!

Xu Shu was shook her head and sighed when she suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door, which seemed particularly abrupt on this quiet night.

Xiao Jiayi probably thought that Zhuang Li had returned, so she couldn't help but stand up with joy and wanted to leave the door for Zhuang himself.

"Wait!" Xu Shu stopped Xiao Jiayi.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jiayi was slightly stunned.

Xu Shu shook her head, "When did Zhuang Li walk through the door in and out these days, and when did he knock on the door?"

Xiao Jiayi was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that Zhuang Li had always been climbing over the wall, and this door was just a decoration in Zhuang Li's eyes...

So who is knocking on the door now?

Xiao Jiayi's heart suddenly became flustered, her voice tightened, and she couldn't say a word.

If the person who came was not Zhuang Li or Zhou Jin, does it mean that Zhou Jin and the others failed...

Xu Shu's heart was also panicked. Except for Zhou Jin and Zhuang Li, no one knew about this place, but the person who came was not them. Who could it be?

However, the rapid knock on the door suddenly stopped. Xiao Jiayi and Xu Shu looked at each other for a moment. Xu Shu suddenly took out a dagger from her sleeve to block Xiao Jiayi. Seeing this, Xiao Jiayi settled down, pulled out the hairpin on her head and held it in her hand, walked forward and stood side by side with Xu Shu.

"Clang~"

It was the sound of glazed tiles on the courtyard wall falling to the ground and smashing. The knocker turned around and climbed over the wall and came in. However, Xu Shu and Xiao Jiayi were very sure that the person coming was definitely not Zhuang Li. If it were Zhuang Li, he would never have made such a big noise...

The footsteps in the yard were getting closer and closer. Xu Shu had quietly pulled out her dagger and hid behind the door. The footsteps stopped at the door. After a moment, the person outside the back door spoke, "Ms. Xu Jiu?"

Xu Shu was stunned. This name...this voice...

Xiao Jiayi looked at Xu Shu strangely, and then listened to Xu Shu's calm question, "Why is Mr. Fu coming?"

Fu Junqian was relieved when he heard someone in the door responding and hurriedly said, "Go away quickly, someone is coming to catch you!"

"How did Mr. Fu know that someone is coming to catch me?" Xu Shu held the dagger in her hand tighter. Why did she believe that Fu Junqian was not the one who came to catch her? The Fu family is now standing opposite Zhou Jin.

"Because... my elder brother brought someone to catch you personally!" Fu Junqian lowered his head. The Fu family has reached this point now, which he can no longer reverse. The only thing he can do now is to minimize the sins that the Fu family wants to make up.

"How did Mr. Fu know that I am here?"

"It was the news from the Deng family..."

The Deng family got the news but did not come forward and pushed the Fu family forward. At that time, the incident was revealed and the Deng family could also push it completely.

"Where did the Deng family get the news?" Xu Shu didn't believe Fu Junqian. Zhou Jin and Zhuang Li were cautious in entering and leaving and would not easily reveal their whereabouts. Where did the Deng family know that she was here?

"It was Mrs. Xiao who accidentally let her say something when she came to the palace to pay her respects, so that the Empress Dowager knew that Miss Xiao San had been expelled from the house. The Empress Dowager thought that Miss Xiao San had some connection with you, so she suspected that you would go to Miss Xiao San..."

This is the family scandal of the Xiao family. If you don’t tell it yourself, no one will know it. Xiao Jiayi believes in Fu Junqian a little. "Maybe the truth of the matter is somewhat different from what Mr. Fu said, but now Mr. Fu can find this place to show that it is no longer safe. We must leave here quickly!"

Xu Shu nodded in agreement. Xiao Jiayi was right. No matter how Fu Junqian knew that she was here, but since Fu Junqian found this, it means that this place has been exposed. If Fu Junqian can find it, the Fu family can find it. What is more likely is that the Fu family does not want to alarm the enemy, so they deliberately revealed the news to Fu Junqian and asked Fu Junqian to find out the truth. If it is true, the people of the Fu family will soon follow...

"It's too late, you can leave quickly. If you don't leave, it's too late!" Fu Junqian became a little anxious, "If it's too late, my elder brother will come with someone, and you won't be able to leave!"
