Chapter 308
Behind them was the fiery night.

Amidst the noisy fire fighting in the Lin Mansion, Ning Yue took them out of the Lin Mansion taking advantage of the chaos.

"Master, where are we going?" Su Ling asked Ning Yue with Qing Lan on his back.

The boss brought Miss Qinglan back to her home in the west of the city, which was easy to catch people's eyes.

Ning Yue also thought of this.

"Go to Yanxia Pavilion." Ning Yue decisively decided to go back to the shop.

You can leave Qinglan to rest there in the backyard of Yanxia Pavilion.

Su Ling nodded immediately, turned a direction at the intersection, and headed towards Zhongzhou Avenue.

The pace of the two of them was not slow.

It was pitch black in the county town.

Except for the watchman, I met no one else on the road.

After walking for more than an hour, they came to the backyard of Yanxia Pavilion.

Ning Yue went in over the wall and opened the door from the inside.

Su Ling carried Qing Lan, who was depressed, on her back, and entered the courtyard.

Ning Yue immediately closed the door from the inside and dropped the latch.

"Enter this room." Ning Yue pushed open one of the doors, turned on the lamp, and Su Ling immediately entered the room behind her back.

Just as Su Ling put Qinglan down, Ning Yue told him, "Su Ling, go to the next room to rest."

It's already midnight, and it will be dawn if you don't rest.

"Yes, my boss also goes to bed earlier." Su Ling cupped his hands and exited the room.

"Miss Qinglan, are you feeling better now?"

Ning Yue stretched out her hand to hold Qing Lan, and sat on the edge of the bed in the room.

Qinglan's pale face never improved.

Her body was still trembling slightly.

What happened tonight really frightened her.

But the one who was hit the hardest was the betrayal of her little maid.

She never thought that the little maid who treated her as her biological sister would cooperate with the Lin family.

Push her to Master Lin's side with his own hands.

If Miss Ning hadn't helped her tonight, she would have become the concubine of a decades-old man. Without her freedom, she could buy and sell at will and give it away to others at will, making her even more involuntary.

It's not much better than the status of a brothel woman.

"Miss Ning will not thank you for her kindness. In the future, I, Qinglan, will go through fire and water and will never refuse."

Qinglan gratefully held Ning Yue's wrist, feeling deeply moved in her heart.

Miss Ning is simply her noble person. Without Miss Ning, she would not have been able to overcome the difficulty of lacking money last time.

Facing desperation, he was almost forced to pick up customers helplessly.

This time, when she was most in need of help and desperate, it was Miss Ning who descended from the sky to help her get rid of her fate of being a concubine.

In the past, Ning Yue felt that Miss Qinglan was a very stable person.

Unexpectedly, after going through this incident, she realized that Qing Lan was particularly timid.

It is estimated that he was also frightened by that master Lin.

"Don't think about anything, lie down and have a good sleep, nothing will be left after dawn."

Ning Yue patted the back of her hand comfortingly.

He helped Qinglan lie on the bed.

Covering her with a thin summer quilt, she got up and walked to the door.

Ning Yue was considerate and didn't blow out the candles for her.

After closing the door, she stood in the yard, staring at the slightly round moon, and stared blankly for a while.

Dissipates body heat.

Qing Lan has been rescued, the next step is to observe the reaction of the Lin family.

If that Master Lin still holds on to Qing Lan, he can only redeem Qing Lan quickly.

As for the Lin family's visit to Ning Yue, Ning Yue already had a clue in her mind.

That master Lin looked at her Yanxia Pavilion, the business was very hot, and he wanted to join in when he got hot.

If so, don't even think about it, she won't allow it.

This master Lin's backstage is definitely not ordinary, but she is not afraid of the other party if she does business well.

If the other party dares to come and play against her, Ning Yue will not be polite.

Ning Yue shook her head to drive away some guesses in her mind.

She went through another door and lay down to rest.

Just before dawn, I heard a knock on the door.

Tie Zhu and Yuxi, who lived in the backyard, had already woken up.

Tie Zhu went out and opened the door.

Before opening the door, he cautiously stood behind the door and shouted loudly, "Who is it? What are you doing?"

A group of officers and soldiers outside the door slammed on the door, shouting: "Hurry up and open the door, we have a routine inspection."

Tie Zhu heard the yelling of officers and soldiers outside the door, and his sleepy eyes suddenly woke up.

He deliberately dawdled, and approached the door slowly.

"It's coming, don't worry."

Tie Zhu grumbled and opened the door to the backyard.

As soon as the door was opened, several officers and soldiers burst in with big knives in their hands.

"Officer, what's the matter?" Tie Zhu rubbed his eyes and asked with a yawn.

Seeing that Tie Zhu had just woken up, the leading officers and soldiers did not hide him.

"Last night, someone went to the Lin Mansion to set fire. If anyone finds anything suspicious, report it to the Yamen in time. There will be a reward of 100 taels."

"Wow, there is still money to take. Don't worry, the official. If I know who it is, I will definitely provide information."

The leader of the officers and soldiers nodded, and the people behind him planned to check each room.

But Tie Zhu stopped him in time.

"My lord, all the long-term workers of our Yanxia Pavilion live here. There are female workers living in a few rooms. They haven't woken up in the morning. It's not convenient to go in for inspection in summer."

Tie Zhu's words were more tactful, and the attitude of the leading officers and soldiers improved a lot after hearing him say that this is the Yanxia Pavilion.

I heard from other colleagues in the yamen that their newly appointed county lord and the owner of Yanxia Pavilion have a good relationship.

It is rumored that the magistrate of the county once told the owner of Yanxia Pavilion that he can come to him if there is anything in the shop.

"Brothers, it's my family, let's go." The leading officer waved to him, and called out several officers and soldiers who were about to break into the door for inspection.

Tie Zhu sent them outside the door with a smile.

After closing the door, Tie Zhu heaved a sigh of relief.

"Oh, it's frightening to death. It's really unlucky for the officers and soldiers to come to the door this early in the morning."

Tie Zhu no longer felt sleepy.

He started to wash up, and helped Yuxi to fetch a jar of clean water.

When Ning Yue woke up, she found that it was already bright outside.

He sat up and rubbed his eyes, got out of bed and put on his shoes.

When he opened the door of the room, he saw that Tie Zhu was in the courtyard, watering the flowers in the courtyard.

"Tie Zhu, you woke up really early." Sniffing the fresh air and listening to the chirping birds, Ning Yue felt relieved.

Tie Zhu was watering the flowers with a pot of water.

Suddenly hearing Ning Yue's voice, he was so scared that he almost took off the water bottle in his hand.

"My boss is scary, when did you come?"

Tie Zhu turned his head and saw Ning Yue standing in front of him at some point, but he didn't realize it.

Ning Yue saw that Tie Zhu's body trembled twice because of her fright, and found it very funny.

"I stayed last night to rest and didn't go back."

Ning Yue blurred the truth.

Tie Zhu nodded without thinking too much.

"Yuxi is going to make fried vegetable dumplings this morning, my boss is lucky."
