Chapter 38 Who is that?
Seeing this, Liu Da's eyes turned red, and he wanted to reach out to snatch the contract of sale, but Hou Qi pressed him down.

At this moment, Li Wei, the manager, came over suddenly, with four family servants behind him, and said with a smile: "Madam, Second Madam, and Xiaozhu Liu, are you all here? Lord Hou heard that Liu Da privately returned from the prison. After he ran out, he asked the little one to catch him back as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, he came to our mansion! Master Hou said that Liu Da escaped from the prison privately, which shows that the security measures in this prison are not good enough to lock him up. , so I decided to send Liu Dafa to the frontier to dig rocks! The little one will take him away!"

As he spoke, he directed the four servants behind him to come forward.

After hearing what Li Yu said, Liu Da hurriedly said: "I didn't sneak out! It was the cell boss who saw that I had performed well in the past three years, so he let me out! I have the cell boss to testify for me!"

Li Yu smiled, took out a money bag from his cuff, and said, "Master Hou has already found out that the cell leader Zhang San accepted your bribes, a total of 50 taels, right here, no more, no less!" Said Then he walked towards Liu Xiaoxiang and said: "This should belong to Liu Xiaozhu, right? Now it belongs to the original owner!"

Liu Xiaoxiang took the money bag in a daze, not knowing what expression to make.

Li Coward looked at Liu Da expressionlessly, and then said: "Zhang San has already confessed completely, and now he is waiting at the door to dig stones with you, so let's not waste our time and try to arrive in half a month. Stone field! Let's go!"

As he said that, without giving Liu Da any time to react, the four servants each held Liu Da up with an arm and a leg.

After reacting, Liu Da screamed in horror, begging Liu Xiaoxiang to say something nice for him, begging for mercy that he was wrong, but this time, no one will give him another chance!

……

"Ma'am, Little Master Liu has been wandering outside for half an hour, does she want to come in?" Qing'er poked her head outside and said.

Gu Man is drawing food pictures in the yard at the moment, she doesn't like to stay in the house, she feels bored.It's autumn, and it's not as hot as summer. Occasionally, there is a gentle breeze, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Therefore, Gu Man prefers to stay in the yard.

Gu Man added the last touch of Bazhen Tang, and smiled with satisfaction, "If she likes to shake it a few more times, don't care what she does."

Liu Xiaoxiang stopped her pacing feet, gritted her teeth, and stepped in.

Gu Man was about to draw the second picture, but when she saw Liu Xiaoxiang coming in, she said, "Here we come!" and continued to draw.

But hearing a "plop", Liu Xiaoxiang knelt down beside Gu Man.

Hearing this movement, Gu Man put down her pen and looked at her: "What are you doing?"

Gu Man signaled Qing'er to step forward and help Liu Xiaoxiang up.

Liu Xiaoxiang shook her head, unwilling to get up, "This is the concubine's contract of sale, return it to Da Furen! Da Furen please don't drive my concubine away!"

Gu Man was a little surprised, "You don't want this contract, you don't want to be free?"

Liu Xiaoxiang shook her head, "I don't know what to do when I leave the Hou's Mansion. I'm afraid it's better to stay in the Hou's Mansion. Although I'm not free in name in this Hou's Mansion, but compared to the outside, The Hou Mansion is already the best destination for me!"

Gu Man understood that she didn't ask Liu Xiaoxiang to leave the Hou's mansion, she gave her the deed of selling herself back then, just to let Liu Da know the difficulty and retreat, and there was no time to exploit.

Now that the matter is settled, since Liu Xiaoxiang is unwilling to leave the house, accepting the contract of sale will give Liu Xiaoxiang a sense of security.

Gu Man asked Qing'er to take the contract of sale, and said: "I see, I don't mean to drive you out, I will accept the contract of sale for the little lady first, you get up!"

Liu Xiaoxiang got up slowly, but didn't leave immediately, as if hesitating to speak.

"Is there anything else you need?" Gu Man asked.

Liu Xiaoxiang bit her lower lip, as if she couldn't speak, and after a struggle, she finally said: "The eldest lady and the young lady passed by by chance that day, right? If they really passed by by chance, why would they bring my deed of sale with them? Moreover, it was already evening that day, so how can there be grocery shopping in the evening? You must have arranged it? There are also Butler Li and Master Hou..."

Liu Xiaoxiang paused and continued: "Anyway, thank you Da Furen and Xiao Furen for helping me that day. In the past, my concubine was too stupid to take you seriously because I got more love from the Marquis, and always followed you. Do it right. From today on, my concubine will be obedient and obedient, and will never be arrogant because of favors, and will never compete with you for the favor of Lord Marquis! I only hope that the eldest lady can forgive me for my past mistakes!"

After speaking, Liu Xiaoxiang knelt down again.

Gu Man, who was exposed, was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, and she really didn't notice some things.I didn't expect Liu Xiaoxiang to be thoughtful.

Gu Man got up and helped Liu Xiaoxiang up, and said: "It's all over, and there is no need to mention it in the future! However, there is still one thing that needs to be explained, and I don't want to be thanked for nothing. This matter is ultimately up to Master Hou." I helped you out, but I didn't do anything. You should go and thank Lord Hou."

Liu Xiaoxiang nodded with a blushing face.

At this time, Liu Xiaoxiang was wearing simple clothes, with only a plain blue hairpin on her head, she looked extraordinarily plain compared to before.The extremely humble appearance at this moment made Gu Man very emotional.

Liu Xiaoxiang thanked Gu Man again, and then left.

After a few steps out of the yard, Qing'er shouted from behind: "Little Master Liu, please stay!"

Liu Xiaoxiang stopped and looked back at Qing'er.

"Does the lady have any other orders?"

Qing'er smiled and handed a package to Xiaoqin who was beside Liu Xiaoxiang, and said: "The eldest lady said that the property should be returned to the original owner, and the eldest lady also said that she still likes the shining golden Liu Xiaozhu who loved to dress herself up before. The madam also said that there is no need to specifically thank the eldest madam, this matter is over, and no one should mention it again!"

Liu Xiaoxiang and Xiaoqin looked at the familiar package and naturally knew what was in it.Finally, I know how Gu Man knew about the entanglement between her and her father.She thought it was Gu Man who sent someone to watch her, but she didn't expect it to be exposed because she pawned jewelry.

Liu Xiaoxiang raised her head, but saw that Qing'er had already left.

So he bowed respectfully towards Gu Man's yard, and left with tears in his eyes.

The imperial examinations were finally over, and it was time to nervously wait for the results to be released.

The officials who graded the test papers were in charge, so Cheng Mo, who had been busy for a while, could finally go home and have a good rest.

When the Hou Mansion heard the news, some people were happy and some were worried.

There are many people who are happy, but Gu Man is probably the only one who is sad.

However, today is Cheng Mo's first day back, and he must be going to Ji Moyan's yard. After all, Xiao Bie is better than a newlywed, so Gu Man can feel at ease for a few more days.

But, can someone tell her, who is that figure in the dark blue cloud brocade suit, walking slowly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth?
