On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

She felt that it was impossible for Xiao Zhou to let her maid get close to Li Yan at this time. If this got out, Xiao Zhou's reputation would also be damaged.

Even though people are much more tolerant towards women nowadays, there are still some rules that must be followed.

If Li Yan touched the maidservant around Xiao Zhou, and word got out, it would mean that Li Yan and Xiao Zhou were in cahoots.

That's why Xiao Xiao felt that it couldn't be Xiao Zhou's stupid move.

It seems like someone wants to cause a rift between the Li brothers and sisters-in-law.

So Xiao Xiao said, "Tell me the truth, who asked you to climb up the social ladder?"

Mother Hu pulled the handkerchief out of Lu He's mouth, pinched her face hard, and threatened her viciously in a low voice: "If you don't tell the truth, I will beat you to death."

Although her voice was not loud, Xiao Xiao had sharp ears and heard it.

She glanced at Mother Hu and thought that she and Mother Rong might be half-sisters.

Lu He kowtowed while crying: "Grandma, please calm down. Second Grandma asked me to bring you some sobering soup. I never thought that Master would have evil intentions when he saw me. He bullied me, then regretted it and had me kicked out."

After saying this, she was afraid that Xiao Xiao would not believe it, so she opened her clothes and cried desperately: "This is the evidence."

Mother Hu and Meng Hui looked at each other and saw murderous intent in each other's eyes.

No matter what, this green lotus cannot be kept.

After hearing her lies, Li Yan hated himself for not taking the initiative and should have killed her earlier.

At this moment he was particularly scared, afraid that Xiao Xiao would believe what she said.

"I, I didn't, she..."

Xiao Xiao glared at him first and said unhappily, "You must remember in the future that boys must also protect themselves. Be careful of those dirty and smelly people who take you as a fool."

Then he looked at Lu He again: "Since you don't want to talk, then there's no need to talk. Tie him up."

"Menghui, go tell Second Madam that Luhe tried to murder the eldest daughter and was caught by us."

Now Xiao Xiao was as calm as could be. She naturally knew that Lu He's affairs could not be linked to Li Yan.

Then I can only let my daughter suffer.

Meng Hui responded, turned around and walked away quickly.

Before Lu He came, she had thought about the worst-case scenario, which was losing her life.

Of course, the best plan is for the grandmother to give herself some money to keep her mouth shut.

Or he could beat himself up and then go settle the score with Second Mistress.

But I didn't expect that my grandmother would frame me.

Isn't this too unreasonable?

She couldn't believe it: "Grandma, how can you lie with your eyes open? I haven't even seen the young lady."

After hearing this, Xiao Xiao said to Mother Hu, "I was negligent. Mother, go and bring the eldest girl over here and let her sleep on the couch."

Mother Hu was very strong, so she first found a belt to tie up Luhe, and then went to pick up the older girl.

In Xiao Xiao and their family's master bedroom, except for Mama Hu, Mama Yan, and Yiqing Menghui, no other maids or servants would dare to come in.

Therefore, Xiao Xiao was not worried that someone would break in. Kneeling on the ground with her hands tied behind her back, Lu He did not expect that the grandma would not play by the rules, and could not help crying: "Grandma, spare me, I just like you too much, and today I saw you lying there drunk, so I had thoughts."

"Please forgive me this time, Grandma..."

Today is the eldest girl's full moon celebration, and the guests who came to congratulate her have also sent many gifts. Mother Yan and Yiqing took a few maids and old women to sort out the gifts that belonged to their room.

After Xiao Xiao figured it out, she admired Lu He's cleverness.

If Li Yan was bewitched by a ghost, there was a great possibility that he would have taken Lu He today.

But if Li Yan really took in the maid when his daughter was one month old, wouldn't that be a slap in his own face?
What’s even worse is that Luhe is someone close to Xiao Zhou.

If such a thing were to get out, the Minister of War's Mansion would probably become famous for the romantic scandal between Li Yan and Xiao Zhou at the beginning of the year.

After hearing Lu He's crying and begging, Li Yan angrily said, "Humph, you finally told the truth, you are so shameless."

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Xiao, and the look in his eyes showed that I am innocent and you can't vent your anger on me.

Xiao Xiao still sneered: "You won't give up until you get to the Yellow River. Why don't you tell the truth now?"

"You are the maidservant of the Second Madam. You should know that if you do something like this, where will your master's face be?"

Li Yan saw Mother Hu holding her daughter over, and fearing that she would be woken up, he quickly whispered, "Hurry up and take the girl back. This is such a mess, what if she gets scared?"

Xiao Xiao also felt that she had thought wrong before, and nodded in agreement with Li Yan's statement, not forgetting to add: "You and the nanny will look after the eldest girl later."

Originally, she was quite confident about the maids and servants in Sangyu Courtyard, but now that she found that the second-class maid around Xiao Zhou dared to frame her master, she began to worry whether her courtyard would be infiltrated.

Of course, what she cares about most is her daughter, so she would feel more at ease if she asked Mother Hu, who had followed her the earliest, to keep an eye on her.

Because both Mother Hu and Mother Yan had no family when they were bought, Xiao Xiao would still be the one taking care of their birth, aging, sickness and death in the future.

Mother Hu responded, then looked at the grandmother worriedly, then carried the eldest girl, who was still sleeping soundly in her cradle, back to the side room.

Originally, she felt that since the eldest grandmother was pregnant but did not allow the eldest master to take in a concubine, she seemed a little jealous.

Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing that the old man didn’t take the people in the room in, otherwise there would be no peace in this yard.

Just this one Lu He almost caused the grandpa and grandma to have a quarrel.

On the other hand, it was not that Xiao Zhou specially sent the sobering soup to her husband's eldest brother. Instead, after Li Yuan came back, he found that Xiao Zhou had someone prepare the sobering soup. Thinking that her father and eldest brother and third brother had drunk a lot of wine today, she asked the maid to send a bowl of sobering soup to them.

Xiao Zhou also felt that this was a good opportunity to show her virtue in front of her father-in-law and others, so she immediately ordered the maids to bring over the sobering soup.

When Xiao Zhou heard Meng Hui coming to ask for a meeting, and then heard what Meng Hui said, she almost fainted from anger: "That damn little bitch!"

Xiao Zhou's maiden family, the Zhou family, was originally a noble family. Her deceased aunt was once the emperor's first wife.

Because she values ​​rules, girls like Xiao Zhou all follow good rules.

Because of this, Xiao Zhou was even more frightened.

If something happened between Luhe and her uncle, it would not only damage her own reputation, but it would also affect her eldest sister's reputation and the reputation of the entire Zhou family.

Therefore, Xiao Zhou also hurriedly took people there.

She didn't believe that Li Yanyan had taken a fancy to Lu He. She thought Lu He had some ulterior motives. So when she saw Lu He kneeling there, she said coldly, "Why keep such a traitorous maid? Drag her away and give her a hundred strokes of the cane."

Of course, after a hundred blows, Lu He will be able to ascend to heaven. (End of this chapter)
