Although there was some distance between them and Hua Qianrou, the hearing of a spiritual practitioner was several times better than that of an ordinary person. Therefore, even though she spoke in a low voice, the housekeeper still heard it clearly.
Second sister
The second lady Hua Qianyu!
He originally thought that the Third Miss became like this because of her enemies, but he never expected that it was actually the Second Miss who did it!
The Hua family is already in a precarious situation. As a member of the Hua family, the second young lady not only fails to help but also causes trouble.
If the head of the family knew about this, he would beat the second young lady to death.
But should I tell the head of the family about this matter
After thinking for a moment, the butler closed his eyes and shook his head with a helpless look on his face. It seemed that God was determined to destroy the Hua family.
Hua Yingnian, who was still sleeping soundly in the house, had no idea that when he woke up again, the Hua family he had worked so hard to build no longer existed.
Today, the Hua family is in turmoil. The bodies of the maids and servants that were originally carried away by the men in black suddenly appeared inexplicably in the front yard of the Hua family.
The front yard was where the largest number of maids and servants lived. Two corpses appeared inexplicably, and they were people they were familiar with. This was a threat!
This was clearly telling the entire Hua family that if they didn't leave, these two corpses would be their fate.
Now, the entire Hua family was in complete chaos.
Regardless of whether they had lived in the Hua family for generations, the servants packed up their things and wanted to leave.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and even the well-trained shadow guards couldn't control it.
The originally prosperous house now became a mess. The servants knew that the Hua family was going to fall, and they all scrambled for the valuable ornaments placed in the house.
Precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, vases, jewelry, rouge, silks and satins, and even gold and silver.
"Rebellion, are you all going to rebel?" Looking at those servants who used to be humble and obedient but now don't take his words seriously at all, Hua Qianyu was as angry as a peacock with its feathers standing on end.
Unfortunately, the servants were all focused on grabbing more benefits at the moment, and no one had the time to pay attention to her.
"Damn it, what on earth is going on? Are these servants crazy?"
"Someone, come quickly, arrest these unruly slaves and execute them for me!"
"Damn it, why are you taking my clothes? That dress is my favorite!"
"Put it down for me. It's a birthday present my father gave me. Put it down now!"
"Assholes, assholes, you bunch of slaves, you don't want to live anymore, right? Let me put you down!"
…
The same roar continued to sound in the house, but it did not disrupt the busy figures of the slaves at all.
Yes, maybe they will lose their lives in the next moment, so would they still care about the anger of a young lady
For them now, getting more means making a profit.
After all, these things are things they would never be able to obtain in their entire lives, but now they are in their hands and in their arms.
The inner courtyard was in chaos, and the outer courtyard was piled with corpses. At first, the servants kept bringing bad news, but now it was quiet.
Yes, I guess the servants who delivered the message all ran away when they saw that the situation was not good.
After all, people are selfish. No one would wait quietly when they know they are going to die.
In the living room, the butler sat on a chair. Because of the protection of the shadow guards, the room was relatively tidy.
The butler sitting on the chair felt as if he had suddenly aged ten years. His hair had turned a lot whiter and his face looked more haggard.
"It seems that the housekeeper is very distressed." The clear voice, with a hint of undeveloped immaturity and natural charm, echoed slowly in the empty room.
The butler looked up when he heard the voice, but saw no one.
In an instant, the shadow guard also entered the first level of alert.
These shadow guards have all undergone special training, and their hearing and insight are all at level one, but they could not sense the location of the sound at all.
who
Who is it
"Who is talking?" The moment the butler stood up, a trace of panic appeared on his weathered face, but it only lasted for a moment and was suppressed.
In the Hua family for so many years, he had also experienced many ups and downs, and he had to have the proper bearing no matter what the situation was, because that was the composure that a person who had been in a high position for a long time should have.
His question did not receive an immediate response, but instead a burst of laughter was heard.
“Hehe…” Although he was smiling, he made people feel the air suddenly turned cold and his back went cold.
He could clearly sense the deep power contained in this laughter. But it was not spiritual power...
Not spiritual power
Something flashed through his mind and he immediately took a step forward and knelt down.
"The butler of the Hua family and the eight members of the third team of the Hua family's shadow guards pay their respects to His Highness."
Um
Now it was the turn of those shadow guards who had been caught in the crossfire to be deceived.
What's going on? Why were they so tense just now and then they knelt down the next moment
And what about the prince that the butler mentioned
However, since the authority to deploy the three teams had been fully handed over to the butler, they had no choice but to obey orders and emerged from the dark and knelt behind the butler.
The Hua family's shadow guards were divided into four teams, each with seven people, corresponding to the twenty-eight constellations. The teams were ranked according to their abilities.
Therefore, the three teams kneeling at this moment were of medium to low strength. Teams one and two were guarding the master's side. As for the fourth team, as far as he knew, they were sent out by the master to carry out a secret mission.
"Haha, it seems that the old butler is also a smart man." A slightly sarcastic smile was mixed in You Ran's words. After a slight pause, the butler saw a small silhouette covering the ground in front of him.
Looking at the reflection on the ground, the butler confirmed his guess again.
"I am an old servant who has failed to recognize a great man. I have offended Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will forgive me." The butler lowered his head, not even daring to raise his eyes.
Looking at the butler kneeling in front of him with his head lowered, Xia Junyu's smooth lips curled up into an evil smile.
Butler Hua Rong is Hua Yingnian's right-hand man. If Hua Yingnian's crimes are unforgivable, then this butler has to bear some of the blame.
Hua Rong's crime had already been determined in his world. But since he was willing to "surrender", as a wise king, he shouldn't not give him a chance.
"Butler, you are so polite. Please get up."
After saying this, Xia Junyu walked straight around the butler who had not yet stood up and sat down in the seat where the butler had sat before.
After the butler stood up, he did not see the young prince who was said to be wise and brave, but immediately looked around. When he saw him sitting in the main seat, he immediately put on a flattering smile.
"I wonder what important matter has brought you here today, Your Highness?"
What a question! He is Hua Yingnian's most capable lackey, so how could he not know what happened last night
Xia Junyu was neither angry nor upset. He always maintained a faint smile on his young face, and then slowly looked towards the butler.
In an instant, their eyes met.
One has a forced smile that is obviously fake, and the other is slightly threatening and yet slightly naive.
After a mixture of forces, the butler was ultimately defeated and was the first to avoid Xia Junyu's scrutinizing gaze.
He has a small body and a chubby face, but his purple eyes seem to contain infinite power between heaven and earth, so deep that it is frightening, as if they have penetrated his expression and seen his naked thoughts.
So scary!
This legendary little prince really lives up to his reputation.
In the past, whenever he heard the legend about this little prince, he didn't take it seriously. He thought he was just a child, and even if he was very smart, it was just a rumor.
But today, he truly experienced the aura of dominance that emanated from his bones.
No wonder, no wonder the Hua family ended up like this.
If he had been holding out hope before, he had now fully faced the reality.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I am willing to serve you at my whim." Smart people don't need to make their conversations too clear. This sentence clearly told Xia Junyu that he wanted to turn against them.
"Hehe..." As expected, the more evil a lackey does, the more afraid he is of death. Look, he didn't do anything, just a glance at her, and he surrendered.
"Butler Hua is a smart man. It seems that he doesn't need to use his true form to attack."
Qinglan's voice came from behind Hua Rong, making him break out in a cold sweat.
Qing Lan's words were very clever, and he didn't need to take action. At first glance, it sounded like he could just sit back and watch with Hua Rong's help, but if you think about it carefully, you can hear other meanings.
He really believed that if he had shown the slightest intention to harm the young prince just now, he would have become a ghost under Prime Minister Qinglan's hands.
What’s even more terrifying is that he didn’t even realize that there was someone behind him.
As the leader of the four great guardians of the emperor, how profound is the cultivation of Prime Minister Qinglan? I guess those who know this have already turned into ghosts.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Hua Rong knelt down again.
"I have met the Prime Minister. You are really flattering me. It is my honor to be able to do my best for His Highness and the Prime Minister."
At this moment, the shadow guards who had followed the butler in kneeling also reacted.
It seems that this old guy has betrayed me.
He stood up with a "whoosh", unsheathed his sword, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the butler Hua Rong.
Xia Junyu and Qinglan seemed to have expected such a scene to happen, so their expressions did not change at all, and they even looked like they were watching a show.
"I didn't expect the butler to be such a spineless person. The head of the family really misjudged you."
The seven shadow guards formed a fan shape, their eyes were full of contempt, and the one who spoke was the one in the center. Because they were all wearing the same uniform and had veils on their heads, their faces could not be seen clearly. But I thought that the one who spoke should be the captain of this team.
The butler who was targeted did not seem panicked at all when facing the sharp knife pointing at his vitals. Instead, he looked calm and composed, as if he knew everything. It seemed that the development of the situation was within his expectations.
"It is said that he who knows the times is a hero. In consideration of the fact that you have served the same master with me for many years, I would like to give you a piece of advice. His Highness is wise and brave, and is the king destined by heaven. You had better surrender as soon as possible to avoid a fate of being mutilated in the future." The butler said calmly with a smile on his face. It seemed as if he was really making plans for these shadow guards.
Yes, after all, having stayed in a mixed place like the Hua family for so long, his hypocritical acting skills have long been perfected.
However, these shadow guards were all Hua Yingnian's trusted confidants personally trained by him, and their lives were in Hua Yingnian's hands, so let alone just a word, even if a knife was placed on their necks, the matter of betrayal had to be carefully considered.
After all, this is not only about loyalty, but also about life.
The seven shadow guards were dismissive of the butler's remarks.
"Old man, instead of worrying about us brothers, you might as well worry about yourself first. It is still unknown when we will be killed, but you will go to see the King of Hell soon!" After saying that, he retracted his arm and mobilized his internal strength to stab towards Hua Rong's vital parts.
Normally, Hua Rong should have panicked and retreated. However, he not only stood there motionless, but also smiled.
"No, you are still wrong." Before the murmur ended, crisp metal collision sounds were heard one after another.
Hua Rong raised his head slightly and looked at the seven people in front of him, holding their stomachs with both hands and bleeding from the corners of their mouths. The sound just now was the sound of their weapons falling to the ground.
Only at this moment did the shadow guards realize where the butler's calmness came from.
"You...you actually poisoned us!" Damn old thing, when did he do this? Didn't he decide to turn against us at the last minute
The severe cramps in their abdomens made it impossible for them to muster their internal strength, and even their own strength was almost drained away. In a short while, they could not even stand, and fell to the ground one after another.
“Damn it!”
Hua Rong took a step forward and picked up one of the fallen swords. He held the sword in one hand and gently brushed the blade with the thumb of the other hand. Then, with a whoosh, the sword cut through the quiet air and hit the throat of the Shadow Guard Captain who had just spoken.
"So I'm saying that you're wrong. You've followed me for so long, don't you know that I'll never do anything I'm not sure of?"
The captain of the shadow guard felt extremely angry when he saw the traitor standing in front of him and showing off his power.
"Bah, traitor, people like you are worse off dead than alive. Kill me if you want. Winners are kings and losers are bandits since ancient times. Today, we brothers have fallen into your hands, we accept it. You want us to surrender? Dream on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "puff" sound, and the sword that was shining silver just now was already stained red with blood. The blood flowed down the sword, drop by drop, and bloomed bright red on the smooth floor.
The butler looked at the dead Shadow Guard Captain, smiled and shook his head.
"You are wrong again. I have never thought of asking you to surrender." Not to mention that the patriarch has something on them, in fact, in every team of shadow guards, there are children of the Hua family mixed in, serving as the patriarch's spies.
First, for surveillance, and second, for dealing with emergencies. Just like the current situation, it is an emergency. Those children who are mixed in will assassinate the traitors at all costs.
Those children were secretly raised outside by the master of the house early on, so no one knew which one was the master's spy.
He also learned this secret by chance when he overheard a conversation between the head of the family and the third young lady.
In this case, he would be safe only if they were all dead.
So from the very beginning, he never thought of asking them to surrender.
Seeing the captain dead, one of the shadow guards immediately begged for mercy from the butler.
"Master Steward, please don't kill me, please don't kill me. I am willing to serve His Highness, I am willing to serve His Highness, I know, I know, I know the master's secret, I can tell you, I only ask you to spare my life, don't kill me..."
Is this...is the fish hooked
hehe…
Listening to the shadow guard's begging for mercy, the butler did not feel any joy in his heart, but instead, murderous intent in his eyes increased.
Is that him
This should be the spy of one of the family heads.
In fact, no one except the patriarch knew how many of the patriarch's spies were in each team. Even the patriarch's most trusted third daughter had never been told.
However, that was no longer important, because he would not let any of them live and threaten him!
The long sword was raised again and stabbed towards the shadow guard's heart.
However, the sword broke one inch away from the heart and fell to the ground.
