I can add one every day

Cao Lvwen approached Zhou Qingyuan, stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "Are you listening to me?"

Zhou Qingyuan retracted his gaze from the system panel, looked at Cao Lvwen, and nodded.

Cao Lvwen sighed, looked at Zhou Qingyuan with a hint of admiration, and said lightly:

"You killed the son of a third-rank official, and his mother is the sister of the current imperial concubine. Why do you seem to be not at all concerned about this matter?"

"I believe that the laws of the dynasty will protect me, there is nothing to worry about."

Zhou Qingyuan's voice was neither salty nor bland, and there was no trace of trust in his words. Everyone could hear the sarcasm in his words.

Cao Lvwen was amused by his words and laughed out loud: "Do you believe this?"

"But."

Cao Lvwen took two steps in the hall and turned to look at Zhou Qingyuan:

"The laws of the dynasty will not protect you, but I will definitely protect you."

Zhou Qingyuan was really confused now and couldn't help asking: "We are not related, why is the co-governor so kind to me? I am really flattered."

Cao Lvwen smiled, patted Zhou Qingyuan on the shoulder, and finally pointed out a secret.

"Master Chen Qinghe of Pengcheng is my teacher. He specifically asked me to take care of you."

"I also know your true identity. To be honest, I have ignored the needs of slaves before and never stood in their shoes to think for them."

"Are there any nobles born among the kings, princes, generals and ministers? You said this, right? Well said."

Cao Lvwen looked at Zhou Qingyuan, and the admiration in her eyes was no longer concealed:

"In fact, I really want to know, how can you, who was born a slave, enter the realm of Qi Condensation in such a short time, and how can you have such unique insights and conversations?"

"What kind of power is protecting you behind you? Are you really just a slave?"

Cao Lvwen stared at Zhou Qingyuan with her eyes, but unfortunately, his face did not show the panic she expected when the secret was revealed.

"Master Tongzhi, you are joking. It's just luck."

"Tsk."

Cao Lvwen sighed in his heart and continued, "Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you."

"In fact, I have seen everything you have done in the past month since you joined the Jinyiwei. I thought you had forgotten your origins and your original intentions.

Now I see you draw your sword for a country girl, I am actually very happy."

"Don't worry, although I am only a third-rank official, I will do my best to protect you. A mere official from the Ministry of Rites has no ability to touch you."

Cao Lvwen stepped out of the hall and left the last words:

"You can practice with peace of mind. If you are in the Qi Refining Realm now, let alone a third-rank official, even if the Prime Minister wants to touch you, it is impossible without a legitimate reason."

"This is the importance of power."

At the Cao family dinner, Cao Chen, the old man, put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Lv Wen, are you going to find Zhou Qingyuan again?"

"Yes, I decided to protect him."

Before Cao Chen made a move, Cao Lvwen took the lead in speaking out his feelings.

"Although Zong Songting is only a third-rank official, he is a senior official in the Ministry of Rites, and his disciples have numerous connections and are involved in a wide range of matters.

He has lost his beloved son, and has made up his mind to attack this kid without a backer, so you should not get involved."

Cao Lvwen frowned, she knew that her father was a man of his word, and since he knew her determination and still tried to persuade her, he had obviously determined the nature of the matter.

But she had already made a promise to Zhou Qingyuan, and the other party was the person that the teacher had specifically asked her to take care of. If she did not protect him, what face would she have?

"Why, are we in the Cao family afraid of a senior official from the Ministry of Rites?

When will it be the turn of a Ministry of Rites official to intervene in the internal affairs of our Jinyiwei?"

"At this time, I have already judged that although Zhou Qingyuan is talented, he does not know how to do things.

Such a person is destined to not go far, and investing in him is a high-risk loss-making business.

Since you are not obedient, don't go out again in these seven days."

"Come on, send the young lady back to her room to rest."

Cao Lvwen put her hand on the hilt of the knife and said coldly: "I will protect this person. I want to see who dares to stop me today?"

"Cao Man, persuade the young lady."

"Yes, sir."

Cao Lvwen was about to draw the knife, and the next moment, a big hand clasped her wrist, forcibly dispersing her hand strength.

"Miss, I'm sorry, please don't make it difficult for me."

Cao Lvwen felt a surge of anger in her heart, and she couldn't relieve it for a long time.

This Cao Man is the old man's personal bodyguard. She has no idea what kind of strength he has. She can't see through him at all, let alone fight him.

Thinking of Zhou Qingyuan's situation, she was a little disappointed:

"Since the Cao family chose to retreat when I needed to help, I will no longer help the Cao family."

After saying that, Cao Lvwen stared at the old man, hoping that he would change his mind, but unfortunately, the other party did not give her any response.

In the end, Cao Lvwen was locked up in the courtyard in disappointment and strictly guarded.

"I'm sorry, Zhou Qingyuan."

Cao Lvwen asked her personal maid to pass on this message for her, and then she was detained at home and forcibly locked up for seven days.

"Is that so? I see, thank Cao Tongzhi for my kindness."

Faced with the personal maid who came to inform him that the relationship with Cao Lvwen was no longer useful, Zhou Qingyuan nodded and accepted it all calmly.

Maid Cao Qing had originally felt quite resentful about the man in front of her for causing the young lady to be put in solitary confinement. Seeing that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not seem to be panicked at all because of the fall of his backer, she felt a little calmer.

Remembering the young lady's instructions to her, she added:

"You have offended a senior official of the Ministry of Rites. Officials of the Ministry of Rites are not only responsible for sacrificial rituals and diplomacy, but also for the imperial examination. All those who want to become officials through the imperial examination must respectfully call him a teacher.

The other person's son died. Although the reason is untenable, in the eyes of those people, forcibly occupying a commoner woman is not only a small matter, but even a kind of charity.

You killed his son, and it would be unreasonable for others not to come forward to help. You will face great pressure in the future."

Zhou Qingyuan nodded, thanked Cao Qing for her advice, and while bidding farewell to her, his mind had already drifted far away.

It's funny to say that as a slave earlier, he was forced to kill people in gambling fights to survive, and he also saw a lot of oppression.

I thought that this heart had seen through the helpless and sad things, and never thought that he was a good person.

Unexpectedly, he who claimed to be not a good person would still help strangers when he could?

So, the blood in his body is not completely cold yet? Thinking of this, Zhou Qingyuan smiled slightly, feeling inexplicable.

Everyone got one thing wrong.

He killed Zong Tianlu not because of impulse, nor because he caused a big disaster in the eyes of those people, and he didn't expect Cao Luwen to save him.

Cao Luwen said something very right. In this world, strength is indeed very important, even important enough to help him defeat those shitty nobles at some point.

Zhou Qingyuan came to the library of Jinyiwei step by step, and said loudly:

"Jinyiwei Qianhu Zhou Qingyuan, fortunately stepped into the Qi Refining Realm, and applied to climb the last two floors."
