Chapter 8
Duan Yi listened and looked behind Zhilu.

Zhilu shuddered, jumped back suddenly, and saw Mama Jiang's familiar face, she patted her chest in fright, "I thought there was a ghost standing behind me, I didn't expect Mama to come so soon."

Mother Jiang rolled her eyes at Zhilu unceremoniously, and saluted Duan Yi hastily.

She looks about 40 to [-] years old, and she wears a dress with pig liver red as the main color. Live in a mouse hole.

"My third lady, now I know that what my mother said is not wrong. The world is very chaotic. The girl's family is walking around outside, and she may encounter something. If it spreads, it will damage our Duan family's century-old reputation. reputation."

"If the eldest lady and the second lady found out, they might throw themselves into the river in shame and anger. You have caused such a disaster this time, you should go to the small Buddha hall to copy the scriptures, and just calm down!"

Duan Yi looked at Mama Jiang's mouth opening and closing, and instantly became refreshed.

"Mom is right. Everyone in Jincheng knows that the famous Duan family came into existence just after grandfather Wenqu Xing came down to earth. A century-old reputation? Grandpa was in high school. Based on this calculation, his old man should live to be 110 years old this year! He is famous in history. You have to leave a name!"

Mother Jiang was startled, as if she had seen a ghost, she looked at Duan Yi in disbelief.

Since the third lady came to the old house at the age of five, she has been in charge of her.

Although this child is not a weak person, but he is helpless and always lacks confidence.Being encouraged by Gu Mingrui to go to Beijing this time is already the most outrageous thing she has ever done at such an age.

Mother Jiang rubbed her ears, "What is San Niangzi talking about?"

Duan Yi smiled at her, "I said that my mother has been at the bottom of the well for a long time, and she treats herself as a person, and she doesn't know how high the sky is."

As Duan Yi said, she flicked her sleeves and walked towards the door.

Seeing her stubbornness, Zhilu rolled up his sleeves and quickly followed, "Girl, you should have done this a long time ago, this wicked woman always bullies us with chicken feathers as arrows!"

As she spoke, she hesitated for a while, leaned close to Duan Yi's ear, and said anxiously, "But we had a good time, and when we went back to Duan's house, Mrs. Diao closed the door and beat the dog... Bah, I didn't mean we were dogs..."

"I mean to bully us behind closed doors..."

The corner of Duan Yi's mouth twitched. Although Zhilu talked a lot, he was devoted to her.

"I have my own rules, so I don't need to panic," she said, looking towards the corner, where there were two people talking in a whisper.

"Did you come back?"

"Fortunately, I reminded you. Before I left Jiannan, I was stopped. His mother's son-in-law didn't dare to come, so he came in secret. I'll go and bring back the belongings of my brothers first, and then... ..."

The person who asked the question was the yellow-bearded Confucian scholar who had seen Gu Congrong before, and the person who was talking was the soldier with the fried beard who had seen him at the gate of the city.

Seeing Duan Yi swaggering past them, eavesdropping openly, the unfinished words of the two suddenly stuck in their throats.

The Confucian scholar coughed in embarrassment, "Where is Mrs. Duan San going?"

Duan Yi nodded at him, "Not at home for a few days, the big tree in front of the house is disobedient, the branches and leaves are running around, go back and trim it."

Confucian scholars and Jun Ye were both taken aback, and they were about to ask questions, but Duan Yi had already led them away.

This Gu family is the residence of generals, there is no such thing as three steps, one pavilion, five steps and one scene, what is more important is to open and close.The bluestone road in the courtyard is as wide as if it is in a street market in the city.

Duan Yi walked very fast, and she woke up from the shock only after Jiang's mother broke out in a thin sweat.

She suppressed her anger and stared at Duan Yi's back, there was nothing wrong with it.

Although this little girl is slightly taller than others, she is only ten years old. Without the help of a maid, she can't even comb her hair in a bun. The fifth lady in the capital is only one year younger than Duan Yi. Chasing after his wife for candy.

A hairy kid the size of a sesame mung bean, if he goes out of the house, can he still turn his back on the sky?

After everyone got into the carriage, as soon as the carriage moved, Mama Jiang immediately raised her voice.

"Third Lady is so majestic. I'm afraid she has forgotten why the old lady sent an old slave to Jiannan. Firstly, to take care of the Duan family's old house, and secondly, to be Third Lady's foster mother!"

"What kind of family is our Duan family? How can a lady sneak out privately and spend the night outside? What's more, the old lady asked the third lady to guard the ancestral grave in Jiannan. Once the third lady leaves, if there is any hindrance to the prime minister, Wouldn't that be filial!"

Duan Yi looked funny.

This Mama Jiang spoke in a sharp voice, and she spoke clearly. She suppressed the big hats one by one.It's a pity, she is a person who will never waste her life on insignificant things.

It is more free from human control.

Zhilu on the side was trembling with fright, and she blocked Duan Yi with a heroic expression on her face.

"Mom's words are so unreasonable. The girl is in great trouble. When mother comes, she doesn't ask if she is hurt or if she is frightened, and she knows how to scold the girl!"

Mother Jiang snorted, "I'm teaching the girl how to behave."

Zhilu wanted to argue, but was pushed away by Duan Yi.

She lowered her head and looked at her fingers. Her nails, which were originally neatly trimmed, were cracked due to running for her life, and she looked very ugly grinning.

"Mama Jiang still remembers that I, Duan Yi, came to Jiannan to guard the grave of my ancestors. The old god stick Chu Guangyi made it clear that the descendants of the Duan family born at noon can protect the Duan family forever."

She said, raised her index finger at Mother Jiang, and shook her head slightly, "Grandmother sent you here, one is not to guard the house, and the other is not to educate me. She just wants you to let me Just stay on the ancestral grave in An An's place."

Duan Yi's eyes turned cold, and she pulled out the small dagger she had been carrying all the way from her waist.

This was the one that Gu Mingrui used to stab the murderer back then. Before jumping out of the window and fleeing, she carried it in her arms for self-defense, and then pierced the female killer's neck.

She twirled the small dagger in her hand, and seriously cut off her nails, as if this was a big deal.

The little dagger sharpened her nails and made a harsh sound. Duan Yi raised her head casually and looked at Mother Jiang, "What if I don't guard? If I can get away once, I can get away twice; if I can kill one If you send Gu Mingrui back, you will be able to kill another person and go freely."

Seeing that mother Jiang's pupils shrank suddenly, Duan Yifu smiled again.

"Mother Jiang, don't be afraid. You watched me grow up and treated me like a grandson. I will never abandon you no matter what. But you'd better pour out the pickle water in your mind and figure it out. Now that I figured it out, who is the father?"

"The Duan family can't guard the ancestral grave without me, Duan Yi, but they can have a mother-in-law to guard the house. If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, you can go to the capital, or you just want to be free and undisturbed in Jiannan."

"It's not your own, it's Duan Yi and me. Mom is a smart person, why can't she even understand the simplest things? If you are not smart, I can write a letter and replace it with a smart one." .”
