Chapter 254 Didn't Count
However, the child is the most sensitive, and seems to feel the displeasure of the old man, and walks a little slower.

Old Mrs. Pei became even more unhappy, "It's okay for a man to be so timid. Could it be that I can eat you?"

He didn't understand what she meant by saying this, Eggy turned his head and looked at the two he trusted the most with a little helplessness, and got encouragement before he finished the last few steps.

Mrs. Pei became even more displeased, and the last bit of hope disappeared. His temperament looked like Pei Songzhi's when he was a child, coy, submissive, timid and afraid of getting into trouble.

Perhaps some unpleasant memories stimulated her. She had high expectations when she came here, but now she is so disappointed. Mrs. Pei let go of the hand holding Dandan, with a haughty look on her face, "Order."

"Then we won't bother you." Su Nanzhen took Dandan's hand and said lightly.

Pei Ming quickly persuaded, "Come here, let's have a meal together."

"No, it's right to say hello when you meet, and it's easy to lose your tongue if you do too much." Su Nanzhen nodded slightly, and pulled Eggy away.

Before she even walked out of the wing room, she heard Mrs. Pei pointing at Sang and scolding Huai. Su Nanzhen looked down at her son and stepped out of the room.

When she came to Haoyue Tower, she still wanted to taste the delicacies here, and she, Dandan, and Mu Furong were all at ease.

After eating and drinking enough, Su Nanzhen looked at the outfit on her body, she couldn't waste it, she brought everything.

Walking on the street, Su Nanzhen suddenly asked Mu Furong, "Do you know where the Xiao family is?"

"I know, I will take you there right now." Mu Furong said hastily.

It's a long way from Haoyue Tower to Xiao's house. Su Nanzhen walked on the street with Eggy in her arms, thinking of going to Xiao's house as quickly as possible, but she didn't expect to be stopped at the gate.

"Master, why don't I take you in?" Mu Furong looked at the closed door angrily.

"Be gentle, we are here to solve the problem, not to make trouble." Su Nanzhen said calmly.

Because of Su Nanzhen's sudden visit, the Xiao family was almost in a row.

Mrs. Xiao thought she came here for a request, so she wanted to leave her alone.

Although Xiao Baiye really wanted to know what she was doing here, but thinking of her previous attitude, he was not sure, so he didn't express his position right away.

The two younger ones were sent outside by Mrs. Xiao.

However, Xiao Biyu didn't want to go far, she wanted to see what her grandmother and father were going to do, and she didn't have any good feelings for Su Nanzhen, only envy and hatred.

If she were to return to the Xiao family, Xiao Biyu felt that outsiders might forget that the Xiao family still had her as a daughter.

Seeing the younger brother who doesn't understand anything and only knows how to play, Xiao Biyu won't get angry at all. If he can live up to it, grandmother won't miss a granddaughter with an unclear background.

In Lan Yuan, Mrs. Xiao saw that her son was uncertain, so she cast her eyes on her daughter-in-law, "What do you think?"

Mrs. Xiao grabbed the handkerchief, what did she think?
Of course she wanted to drive people away, but she didn't want to have an extra daughter for no reason to remind her that she was just a continuation, but this was obviously not the result she wanted, so she had to say unwillingly, "If someone comes to the door, it is still I still have to figure out what she wants to do."

"I think so too, go ahead and invite someone over." Mrs. Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

Of course Mrs. Xiao would not invite Su Nanzhen in person, she only sent a housekeeper.

Mu Furong got a little impatient with waiting, she raised her feet, and then the door opened.

"I don't know that the lord of Jiaren County is here. I kept you waiting for so long. The villain deserves death." The housekeeper's eyes fell on Su Nanzhen, and he scolded the concierge severely, taking all the responsibilities of the masters away.

Su Nanzhen looked at the bewildered concierge who was being scolded, and hooked the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, "Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise outsiders would misunderstand the Xiao family's way of hospitality."

The housekeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, it seemed that this little lady was not as easy to fool as her mother, so naturally she didn't dare to be negligent, and welcomed her in respectfully.

"Mother, I'm tired, I want to hug you." Eggy stopped and didn't want to leave.

"It's time to be tired, dear, mother hug." Su Nanzhen hugged him readily this time.

The butler wiped the sweat from his forehead again, the Xiao family is not that big, so do you want to arrange a sedan chair for them just a few steps away?
Before he could think it through, Su Nanzhen stopped again, and the butler looked at her nervously, not knowing what she was trying to do, "Why didn't the county lord leave?"

"Why do I have to enter the backyard for my first visit? Is it because I am new here that I don't understand the rules of Yanjing?" Su Nanzhen looked at him blankly and asked curiously.

"Is this the county lord?" The housekeeper became even more troubled, and the old lady raised her airs to make her show something.

However, the housekeeper glanced at her, and came here empty-handed, not as if he would express anything. He regretted it. If he had known that something like this happened today, he should have been sick and rested.

Su Nanzhen explained to him very seriously, "It seems that the master is not ready yet. It is indeed Jiaren's fault to take the liberty to come here. The county master is willing to wait a little longer, so there is no need to go into the backyard to disturb them."

Seeing Su Nanzhen staring at him, the butler felt more and more guilty, hesitated for a moment and still hadn't made a choice, whether to offend the county magistrate or his master.

Xiao Baiye didn't want the housekeeper to be made things difficult, so he immediately showed up and asked the housekeeper to prepare tea, and he led the people to the front hall.

Xiao Mingzhi, who was peeking from the side, widened his eyes when he saw Su Nanzhen, couldn't help but pulled Xiao Biyu's sleeve and said excitedly, "I seem to have seen that man before."

"It's her." Xiao Biyu rolled his eyes at him. She was obviously just a village woman, and she was made the head of the county with a few broken potatoes. In exchange for her, she could donate hundreds of thousands of catties of potatoes.

"Is it the vegetarian one?"

"I know and ask."

"Wow, it seems like a different person."

"One bumpkin."

"..."

When Mrs. Xiao at Lanyuan heard that her son led Su Nanzhen to the front hall to discuss matters, her face turned dark.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Mrs. Xiao was secretly happy.

In the front hall, Su Nanzhen gave him a list without taking a sip of tea, and said straight to the point, "Master Xiao must have known about the marriage contract between the county lord and Prince Pei."

"I know." Xiao Baiye's eyelids twitched, and he replied with some hesitation. Could it be that his mother really guessed that she wanted to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan, so that the Hou Fu would not look down on her?

However, Su Nanzhen's next sentence made him blush, Xiao Baiye looked at Su Nanzhen in disbelief.

"Lord Xiao seems very surprised? It is our fault that your mother's dowry has been pawned in your house for many years, so the county lord is willing to pay you 500 taels of silver on top of the 250 taels." Su Nanzhen said slowly.

Xiao Baiye was dumb, and he didn't know whether it was because of shame or anger, he knew that she came here with good intentions, but he never calculated that she would make such a mess.
