"Then our agreement is settled. You can rest here for now. If you're hungry, I'll have someone bring you some food."
"I want the food to be delicious, and I also want some pastries."
Wei Shuxuan shouted with all her might towards Bai Yue's back. Then Bai Yue left Wei Shuxuan's room. Soon after, there was a knock on the door. Several young maids came in, each carrying some exquisite dishes. They placed all the dishes on the table. One of the maids said, "I wonder if these dishes are enough for Miss Wei?"
"Of course they are."
"If there's nothing else you need, we'll leave first."
Seeing the maids about to leave with the trays, Wei Shuxuan quickly stopped them. "Wait a minute! Help me up and carry me to the table."
So the maids discussed for a while, and two of them stayed while the others left first. They went over and carried Wei Shuxuan to the table and served her while she ate.
In fact, Wei Shuxuan was really hungry. She managed to finish all the dishes on the large table in no time. The two maids standing beside her had never seen a young lady who could eat so much. They were so shocked that they almost couldn't speak.
After the meal, the two maids carried Wei Shuxuan back to the bed. Then they called a few servants to clear the table. Soon, everything was cleaned up. Wei Shuxuan lay in bed, belching from being too full. She looked at the top of the mosquito net. Actually, this wasn't too bad. Someone took care of her meals, and after eating, she could just lie in bed. It was quite comfortable.
Wei Shuxuan thought that she was currently a captive. Although she was living quite comfortably, she was still a captive. "… Forget it. I'm just overthinking. I'd better just wait for Xin Zizhao to rescue me obediently…"
On the other hand, Xin Zizhao was still looking for Wei Shuxuan's whereabouts. They didn't want to alert the guards here unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, they were outnumbered, and there were also experts among the guards. If they weren't careful, they might not be able to rescue the person but would instead get themselves in trouble.
Just then, Xin Zizhao saw a tall masked man coming from the western courtyard. He stopped a passing young maid and seemed to be giving her some instructions. Then he let the maid leave.
Judging from the masked man's clothes and demeanor, he seemed to be an expert. Xin Zizhao thought that this man was probably the leader of this place, and the place he had just come from might be where Wei Shuxuan was being held captive.
So Xin Zizhao called the others and they followed the direction the masked man had come from. There was a high possibility that they would find Wei Shuxuan. Bai Yue sensed the presence on the roof and a faint smile curled up on his lips.
Wei Shuxuan lay in bed, wondering why the masked man wanted to make such a deal with her. She just couldn't figure it out. This man named Bai Yue clearly said that he was under Sima Tianhai, but he actually said that he wanted to cooperate with her. What was his purpose? She had thought that Sima Tianhai's subordinates were extremely loyal to him, but it turned out that they were not as loyal as Wei Wei and Xin Shang.
However, judging from the relationship between Bai Yue and the red - dressed woman, their relationship must be very bad. One was not loyal to the master, while the other was extremely loyal to the master. Naturally, there would be differences.
Xin Zizhao and the others searched room by room. This courtyard didn't seem very big from the outside, but unexpectedly, there were so many rooms inside. The design was really amazing. When they reached the end of the western courtyard, they saw a room locked with a golden padlock.
"Master, is this the place?" Xin Shang looked at the padlock.
"I'm not sure. I'll go up and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Zizhao was already standing on the roof. He lifted a tile and looked inside. When he saw the large bed in the corner, his eyes widened in surprise. Xuan'er was here!
"Quickly open the door, Xin Shang."
Xin Zizhao landed beside Xin Shang. Wei Wei asked worriedly, "We don't have the key. How can we open this golden padlock?"
Xin Shang smiled. "It's okay. Just watch me."
Xin Shang took out a wire from his pocket and bent it into a hook. He put his ear against the golden padlock and picked at it with the wire, looking for the keyhole. Suddenly, there was a soft click in his ear. Xin Shang turned the wire, and the golden padlock opened.
Wei Wei and Ge Zian had never seen such amazing lock - picking skills before. Just as they were about to exclaim, Xin Shang said, "Saving the person is the most important thing now. If you want to know, wait until we've rescued Miss Xuan."
They nodded. They opened the door and walked in. A purple beaded curtain hung in front of them. They lifted the curtain, and a large bed came into view. Wei Shuxuan was lying on it, resting. There seemed to be something wrapped around her body. Xin Zizhao quickly walked over. When he saw the wounds on Wei Shuxuan's body, an indescribable pain spread in his heart.
He reached out to touch the wounds on Wei Shuxuan's body. Wei Shuxuan, who was in her sleep, felt the pain and opened her eyes. She saw Xin Zizhao sitting beside the bed, looking self - reproachful. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Xin Zizhao! Why are you here!"
Fortunately, Xin Zizhao made a gesture for her to be quiet in time, so Wei Shuxuan didn't shout out the rest of her words. She hugged the man in front of her tightly. "I was so afraid that you wouldn't come…"
"Silly girl, how could I not come?" Xin Zizhao stroked the hair of the woman in his arms. "Xuan'er, tell me, who hurt you like this?"
"It's that woman in red. She's so fierce. I just scolded her a few words, and she hit me. She's so petty."
Wei Shuxuan complained about Hong Ying unhappily. Xin Zizhao saw that although his Xuan'er was injured, she was still energetic enough to complain about others, which meant that she was okay. However, it seemed that someone had already treated Xuan'er's wounds. "Did someone treat your wounds?"
"Yes. A man named Bai Yue had someone treat them for me. He's Sima Tianhai's subordinate."
"Why did he have someone treat your wounds?" Ge Zian didn't believe that Sima Tianhai's people would be so kind.
"He also helped me out when that red - dressed woman hit me," Wei Shuxuan defended Bai Yue. "Just because he works for Sima Tianhai doesn't mean he's a bad person. Moreover, I made a deal with him…"
Hearing Wei Shuxuan say this, Xin Zizhao couldn't help but frown. "What kind of deal did you make with him?"
"I can't tell you for now. I'll tell you after we leave here, okay, Xin Zizhao?"
