The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1531 - 1530: Weirdly Evil

"Besides what you just mentioned, what else did you reveal to the other party? For instance, any of those unknown secrets of Zijing City?"The secrets of Zijing City are known to all brothers and soldiers in the city. Tang Rao hasn't intentionally kept them hidden. From a different perspective, secrets are open within Zijing City, and outside of it, people can't even hear a whisper of them.

If even the soldiers can keep secrets, why can't You Xiaoxiao do the same?

Fang Jinxiu toyed with the gun in her hand, inadvertently noticing You Xiaoxiao's guilty expression, and she understood in her heart.

"I don't know. When I saw that person, it was as if my soul was controlled. I couldn't stop myself from saying things I shouldn't, and besides knowing I said something inappropriate, I don't know what I said. I really forgot everything."

You Xiaoxiao wasn't afraid to take responsibility. She believed in taking the consequences for her actions, but some things she really couldn't remember. Even if Fang Jinxiu asked her to recount everything from beginning to end, she could only recall up to this point, and beyond were all just broken fragments.

"Forget it. I suppose the main purpose of that person approaching you was simply to understand the situation inside Zijing City. If they failed to use you, they would find someone else. They just happened to encounter and use you."

Fang Jinxiu came from Blue Star, and while there, she learned of the existence of hypnotism. The symptoms You Xiaoxiao described just now were exactly like those hypnotized on Blue Star.

However, the hypnotism of Blue Star took a different name here, becoming Soul Capturing Technique, which is even more sinister than hypnotism.

"Jinxiu, do you think I've caused trouble, bringing Tang Rao distress? Maybe I should confess to Tang Rao, so he's prepared in advance. Regardless, although we don't know who sent this person, they clearly have plots against Zijing City. It's better to be cautious."

Fang Jinxiu didn't stop You Xiaoxiao but still worried that first Tang Rao would be depressed for days due to the enemy intruding into Zijing City, and now, with family going out and being targeted, both inside and outside of Zijing City are insecure. She feared adding too much pressure to Tang Rao's mind.

Where there are many women, there are many problems. If Tang Rao were alone, unforeseen incidents wouldn't happen. As long as he was cautious, living without any ties, but now with too many women, it was no longer easy for him to live independently.

Those by his side would all become his weaknesses. No matter who got into trouble, Tang Rao wouldn't be able to bear it for the rest of his life.

Tang Rao didn't think as exaggeratedly as the women. Assassination inside Zijing City, rumors outside—none of it mattered to him. The only thing on his mind was that Qin Qing and Wang Han both had maids serving them, and even Tang Rao himself had Yue Er by his side.

The same women by Tang Rao's side, Sheng Xuan with a child, Jinxiu busy until dizzy, and several others, had no one to care for them. When Tang Rao was busy, they could only stay alone in empty rooms. If each had a maid beside them, even if Tang Rao weren't around, they would at least have someone to chat with, and when they're busy, there'd be someone to lend a hand.

He could afford one person in Zijing City, so adding a few working maids wouldn't bankrupt or impoverish Tang Rao.

If a few more maids joined, Zijing City would no longer exhibit a situation of male dominance.

As for Tang Rao, besides checking on his wife, naturally, those around his wife would also become a beautiful scenery line.

Having made up his mind, Tang Rao walked out with a smile.

This was his first time going out since the Eight Great Vajra attacked. Just as he stepped outside, he saw Yue Er kneeling on the ground. If her legs stayed in intimate contact with the ground any longer, she might just take root there.

"Yue Er, when did you start liking kneeling on the ground?"

Tang Rao couldn't recall any mistake Yue Er had made.

He thought a hearty laugh would lighten Yue Er's burden, but unexpectedly, the girl started to cry.

"Master, it's all Yue Er's fault. Yue Er is guilty. When the master was in trouble, Yue Er didn't protect the master at the first moment. Please forgive me!"

Yue Er kowtowed repeatedly on the ground, so vigorously that she didn't notice the skin on her forehead breaking.

"You said you would protect me?" Tang Rao almost laughed out loud. "Do you even know who the enemies are and their capabilities? Think again about your capability, my capability. I appreciate your intention, but don't torture yourself over these trivial matters next time."

That Yue Er would kneel outside and declare she failed to protect Tang Rao surprised him, with both the intent and courage she showed. But he believed people should act within their capabilities and didn't understand why Yue Er would say such a thing.

As for Tang Rao, he always had his people face their abilities directly. If they had none, he would say so unhesitatingly, giving no room for saving face.

"Yes, Yue Er knows her abilities aren't as strong as the master's, and she cannot compare to the lady's abilities. However, Yue Er knows where the Eight Great Vajra entered from. Unfortunately, just as she learned this, she saw the master fighting with the Eight Great Vajra."

Embracing the resolution that her explanations wouldn't waver despite possible suspicion from Tang Rao, Yue Er revealed all she knew, which was unexpected for Tang Rao.

"Stand up and speak."

Despite already having suspicions, they were just suspicions, and he didn't anticipate that, besides his suspicions, there were also witnesses to the entry of the Eight Great Vajra. There was no benefit for Yue Er to deceive Tang Rao, so he chose to believe what Yue Er was going to say.

"Do tell about the situation back then."

Tang Rao needed to know every detail from start to finish. Only the truth pieced together from details was the real truth. Just hearing one side of the story from Yue Er wasn't enough to substantiate the crime.

"The matter began when Yue Er went to Second Young Master Zhou's home to seek an audience with him."

Yue Er revealed her identity, stating she wasn't originally from a maid background.

She actually shared a commonality with Second Young Master Zhou.

Second Young Master Zhou was willing to serve as a house servant in the Wan Family to gain the chance of pursuing Wang Han, and Yue Er was willing to join the Zhou Family as Zhou Jie's maid to attract Second Young Master's attention.

Since Zhou Jie became aware of Yue Er's feelings for him, he would frequently seek Yue Er, asking her to help him with self-serving and harmful tasks.

Yue Er knew that, even though those deeds wouldn't immediately win Zhou Jie's heart, they allowed her to stay by his side and live closely with him. However, if she refused Zhou Jie, she would become disliked by him, and even the opportunity to stay by his side would be ruthlessly taken away.
