The middle courtyard of the Pavilion was full of kneeling people, and Grandma Li walked around in front with a whip, and her eyes surveyed everyone who was trembling.I don't know who shouted "Miss Li is back", and everyone looked relaxed and relaxed.They believe that Feng Xiannu will handle the matter impartially, so that they have no place to complain.Li Haitang was accompanied back to the middle courtyard by Yang Yan, followed by Wu Yinling and Sister Hu.Seeing the old women and maids kneeling in the courtyard, Haitang's expression did not change, and she walked to the main eaves corridor and glanced at it."
Big girl."
Sister-in-law Li curtsied and returned the whip to Sister-in-law Yang.Li Haitang bowed her head slightly and asked, "Who first discovered that Aunt Lan was missing?"
”"It's a slave."
A little maid crawled forward on her knees, choking and kowtowing."
The eldest girl forgave her sins, and the slave maid had only been here for two days, and was sent to the guest house at the back to take care of the seriously injured sister-in-law.Because the sister-in-law was seriously injured and had not healed, the slave maid did not expect that she would get out of bed and run away, and when the slave and maid went to fetch water to serve the sister-in-law to bathe and come back, the sister-in-law was no longer in the wing room of the guest house. ”Li Haitang nodded slightly, and asked again: "Who saw someone in the guest courtyard leaving the pavilion, or someone outside sneaking over the wall?"
”"The eldest girl forgave her sins, and the slaves and maids returned, and they were too busy with their duties to be lazy and idle, so no one saw anyone sneaking into the guest house, and there was no way to know when the seriously injured sister-in-law had left."
An old woman kneeling at the front answered on behalf of everyone, neither humble nor arrogant, respectful and courteous.Li Haitang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Everyone, please get up."
Now that you have come back safely, I have something to say, and I hope you will keep it in mind and be vigilant at all times. ”"Miss Xie forgives the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid will abide by their duty and teach the eldest girl."
The old woman and the maids said in unison, kowtowed before helping each other up, and one by one they still obeyed the etiquette and bowed their heads to obey orders.Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Yang brought a chair and put it under the porch, Wu Yinling personally stroked Haitang to sit down, and stood back beside Sister Tiger and quietly held her hand, lest the stupid sister suddenly lose her mind and go crazy and cause trouble.Li Haitang sat upright in the chair, his hands folded on his lap, and taught him seriously."
Don't blame Yang and Li for being strict, the seriously injured sister-in-law is too important to me, so don't be upset in my feelings, and you will still be as close to the two sister-in-law as before in the future.""
Don't worry, the big girl, the slaves and maids don't dare to have a grudge.The two sisters-in-law took care of the slaves and maids in the past, and the slaves and maids felt deeply and never forgotten. ”The old woman and the maids replied in unison, whether they were sincere or not, it always made people feel more comfortable to listen to.Li Haitang nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The days I have moved into the Pavilion are still short, and I am not familiar with my sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law.But my sister-in-law and sister almost lost their lives because of me, and here's ......
I thank you all for coming back to the Pavilion. ”As he spoke, he stood up and gave a blessing to everyone, so frightened that the old woman and the maids knelt down together, choked up and said loudly: "The slave and maid dare not accept such a big gift from the big girl, the big girl please get up quickly." ”Sister-in-law Yang tearfully stepped forward to help Li Haitang, sent her back to the chair and sat down, and said to the old women and maids kneeling in the courtyard: "All the old sisters and girls, get up, the big girl is the one who really pities us, and it is our luck to meet such a charitable little master." ”"Sister Yang is right, the eldest girl's charity is the luck of the slaves' three lives."
The old sister-in-law was very grateful, raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, and was helped up by the little maid next to her.Li Haitang handed Yang a look, and Yang nodded silently."
Ladies and sisters, I will fight against the humiliation you have suffered today, and I will fight against it tomorrow.Before that, we were like sailing against the current, and we had to watch out for the machinations of the villains at all times.Therefore, I would like to ask you to abide by the rules of the Pavilion and to cut off contact with the outside world.If there is anyone with bad intentions, I will punish him severely!
”"Don't worry, big girl, since we are the people of the Pavilion, we are loyal to the big girl."
The old woman's voice was loud and loyal, filial and upright.The old woman and the maids also followed her example to show their loyalty.Li Haitang breathed a long sigh of relief, she finally survived this crisis without danger, and she didn't know how many difficulties and dangers were waiting for her in the future."
It's late at night, go back and rest, each of you.Today, the matter of the loss of people in the Xijiao Pavilion must not be discussed in private, in case the wall has ears to spread and cause death.If anyone thinks of something, just come to Yang and Li to discuss, and don't make your own decisions and act willfully.There are merits and demerits, rewards and punishments are clear, even if Yang and Li make mistakes, I will double the punishment.Have you all remembered?
”"Follow the instructions of the eldest girl.""
Okay, let's all disperse."
Li Haitang handed Yang Yanyan a look, and asked Wu Yinling to lead Sister Hu to the guest house in the backyard for a while.Tell Sister Tiger to sleep obediently and play with Xiao Wanghu tomorrow morning.Although Sister Tiger was reluctant, she couldn't bear the sleepiness and obediently went with Wu Yinling.Back in the bedroom on the second floor of the Pavilion, Li Haitang took off her cloak and gown, and sat at the table in only thin civilian clothes and drank warm tea.Thinking carefully in my mind about the old woman who took the initiative to answer just now, how did she feel a little familiar?
There are also old women and maids in the courtyard, all of whom seem to be familiar faces, but after careful observation, they feel that they are different from the old wives and maids before."
What is the big girl thinking?"
Yang Yanchang led the bold old woman and the two little maids in, Li Haitang smiled silently, put down the teacup, turned around and leaned against the edge of the table, and looked at the old woman and the little maid from head to toe.His eyes finally fixed on the old woman's face, and her black apricot eyes shone with tears.She stood up, walked up to the old woman step by step, stretched out her little hand to hold this strange and old face, and called with tears: "Lazy mother-in-law, is it you?"
I'm not mistaken, am I?
”The old woman's tense expression was relieved, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said with a smile: "Begonia girl, I didn't expect you to remember my old woman, you can still hear my voice?"
Ouch, the old woman didn't hurt you in vain.It's worth it!
It's worth it!
”The lazy mother-in-law sighed with tears and emotion, hugged Begonia tightly in her arms, and gently stroked her head lovingly, "Little girl, I heard that you have suffered a lot of grievances and suffered a lot.It's really hard for you to suffer so much at such a young age. ”"Lazy mother-in-law, it's good to see you again!"
Li Haitang's little face was buried in the arms of the lazy mother-in-law and cried.When I learned that all the people in the private house were murdered and seriously injured by bad people, the lazy mother-in-law was in danger of her life.And she and Zhuge Yi were in a hurry to rush back to Ciyu Town to attend the funeral of Second Master Li, so they didn't even see the last side.Although she begged Zhuge Yi several times to secretly take her to Yanxia Town to meet her lazy mother-in-law, Zhuge Yi refused on the grounds that she was afraid of being plotted by the people of the Eight Great Families.Indeed, as a Feng Xian's daughter, countless enemies in the secret are always plotting to harm her and the people around her, so she has to guard against it.Her mother's death is the biggest warning to her, and she naturally doesn't want her lazy mother-in-law to be innocently implicated."
Lazy mother-in-law, why did you come to the Pavilion?
It's dangerous here, so you might as well go back to Yanxia Town. ”"Begonia girl, I came this time by the order of my master, no matter how dangerous it is, I must protect you well.""
Lazy mother-in-law, the Pavilion is like a nest of tigers and wolves, and Sister-in-law Yang can still do kung fu here, but you are old and seriously injured, I can't selfishly leave you here to suffer."
Li Haitang pushed away the lazy mother-in-law, turned back to Yang and said, "You go to the master and ask if you can send the lazy mother-in-law back, it is not safe for her to stay in the Pavilion." ”"Begonia girl, I'm not here for you, but for my hard-working sister.""
Sister?
Is she in the Pavilion?
