Chapter 29 The Anxious Master Meng
The morning light had just spilled into the courtyard of Meng's house, and there were some fragments of light shining on the eaves.

There was a rooster crowing in the alley behind, and then, various sounds came one by one, fetching water, lighting a fire, footsteps kept coming, and gradually there were wisps of cooking smoke rising everywhere.

Mr. Meng came out of the house in a hurry, and Mrs. Meng followed closely behind him, pulling at his sleeve and saying, "Wait, you haven't tied your belt yet."

Master Meng kept walking outwards, and adjusted his belt perfunctorily with both hands, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't fix it. It was just a little crooked, but now it's about to fall off.Mrs. Meng quickly caught it and tied it behind him.

Master Meng and Mrs. Meng walked straight to the door.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw two people kneeling beside him, one green and one white, still Luwei and Baimiao.

Madam Meng looked at them with distaste, stepped forward, and said, "You two, what are you doing here?"

"I beg Mrs. Madam, take us to find Missy!"

After saying that, Bai Miao solemnly and forcefully kowtowed her head, hitting the ground hard, and Lu Wei buried her head on the ground along with her.

Master Meng didn't want to waste time, so he said perfunctorily, "So what if you go? Don't waste time here."

Master Meng left after speaking, without stopping at all.

Mrs. Meng looked at the two of them, and said in a bad mood: "If you don't go back and get ready, He Yin will definitely have a good rest when he comes back."

After speaking, Mrs. Meng also left.

Lu Wei and Bai Miao got up and looked at each other in place, feeling very flustered inside.

The two returned to Meng Heyin's yard and decided to prepare things for Meng Heyin first.As soon as they walked in, they saw Nanny Xu and Xu Yuan standing at the door looking at them triumphantly.

Both of them had a bad premonition in their hearts. Sure enough, when Madam Xu saw them, she sneered coldly: "You two still have the face to come back? You fooled Miss and left Miss alone outside the city. If something happened to Miss, it would be I can't even return your skins!"

Xu Yuan also looked like a villain, "You two just wait to be buried!"

She still has something in her hand and is eating happily.

"If something happens to Miss, we will certainly be guilty of death, and we will never live alone!" Lu Wei retorted, "What about you, Madam Xu, when Madam passed away, you should have been buried for Madam, but because Madam was young , the master spared your life, if something happened to the young lady, would you dare to be buried with us for the young lady?!"

These words immediately hit Madam Xu's sore spot, she immediately blushed, and jumped to her feet: "You are so bold, how can you curse the Lord so casually?!"

Bai Miao, who had been silent all this time, said indifferently: "Miss didn't come back so late yesterday, why didn't you tell Master to go out and look for it?"

Nanny Xu swallowed her saliva. After coming back this time, the young lady's attitude towards her has changed drastically. She is very harsh. The board that was punished the day before yesterday is still aching in her buttocks.I didn't see the eldest lady coming back yesterday, and I was very happy for a while, and didn't care if she was in danger outside.But this must not be said.

So Mother Xu said: "I was busy preparing for my wife's funeral, I forgot the time for a while, and never came to Miss's room."

When Nanny Xu said this, her eyes wandered, Bai Miao saw them all, but the young lady hadn't come back yet, and she didn't bother arguing with Nanny Xu about these useless things, so she rolled her eyes at them and was about to turn to the backyard Ready to boil water.

Lu Wei hurriedly followed, and when she walked past Xu Yuan, she saw something hidden in her sleeve.

Xu Yuan quickly gathered her sleeves and hid behind her back, but she could probably still tell that they were some pastries.

Lu Wei thought in her heart, it must be another snack stolen from the small kitchen.He also didn't want to pay more attention to her, so he let out a cold snort and brushed past Xu Yuan.

After they left, Nanny Xu scolded, "Take it out."

Xu Yuan was startled, and took out a few pieces of cakes from her sleeves, two small golden cakes, with sixteen slender yellow leaves, covered with a layer of crystal clear icing, exuding a faint scent of gardenia. Scent of flowers.

Nanny Xu expressed that she really did. She put one hand on her waist and patted Xu Yuan on the head with the other: "Can't you bear it for a moment? What if they find us stealing things from Miss's room?"

Xu Yuan felt aggrieved and said: "Mom...it's been a few days, and it will go bad if you don't eat it."

Smelling the sweet smell wafting in the air, Madam Xu's throat moved, and she touched Xu Yuan's head distressedly: "If it wasn't for the big change in Miss's attitude towards me now, how could my Yuan'er eat these things?" Leftover pastry."

Xu Yuan nodded in agreement: "Miss is almost like a different person!"

Nanny Xu sighed, feeling confused in her heart. What happened during the days when she was gone?
On the street leading directly to the city gate, a carriage was passing through the city at a high speed.It was time to open the city gate, and the vendors were bustling with stalls on the street at this time, and the carriage rushed past, which scared everyone and caused a lot of panic.

The carriage is exactly the carriage of the Meng Mansion. Mr. Meng raised the curtain to see the passing street scene outside the window, but still felt that it was not fast enough, so he said to the driver, "Have you not eaten yet? Hurry up!"

The coachman felt aggrieved in his heart: he was called up early in the morning to drive, and he really didn't eat!

Mr. Meng, who was very anxious, almost stepped forward to drive the carriage himself. Mrs. Meng put her hands on her chest and tried her best to suppress the bumps of the speeding carriage, and she had to reach out her hand to hold Mr. Meng.

"Don't... don't worry, Master Xue said that someone will respond."

Hearing Mrs. Meng's voice panting, Master Meng was also forced to calm down. He stretched out his arms to hug Mrs. Meng, and said while comforting her: "After all, it's someone else, and there are no biological parents to rest assured."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Master Meng realized that he had said something wrong, and looked at Mrs. Meng nervously.

Mrs. Meng smiled casually, "What are you afraid of, that little girl has been used to it for so many years."

Master Meng shook Mrs. Meng's hand vigorously, and said respectfully, "You have worked hard."

Mrs. Meng looked normal and shook her head.

"Call-"

The driver shouted, slowly tightened the reins in his hand, and the carriage stopped.

"Here we are." Master Meng said, as soon as he opened the curtain, he saw that this place was not at the gate of the city, but at the intersection of several streets at the gate of the city.

"What's going on, I said go to the gate of the city." Master Meng said.

"Master, you should get out of the car and look ahead first." The driver's voice trembled slightly, as if there was some panic and fear.

Master Meng immediately got out of the car and was shocked by the scene in front of him.

I saw that the gate of the city was locked tightly, and about hundreds of county soldiers in armor and armed with weapons gathered at the gate of the city in high spirits.
