Chapter 39

After breakfast that day, Mrs. Su had just sent Master Jin out when she saw Li Nanny walking in quickly with a flustered expression, and asked in surprise, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Momo didn't care about the maids in the room, and hurriedly replied: "Madam, the maids in the guest house ran over to report, saying that Miss Zhang is missing."

Mrs. Su raised her eyes when she heard this, and snorted coldly: "What a Zhang Lanyue, she really isn't a law-abiding person. I want to see what kind of drama she can make. Tell me to go down and let Lao Luo and his wife take care of you." Please find someone carefully inside and outside my mansion, and you must find him back for me."

Seeing that Mrs. Su was angry, Nanny Li didn't dare to delay, so she quickly agreed and went out to send a message to Director Luo and Nanny Luo.

Mrs. Su secretly scolded Zhang Lanyue for her ignorance, and then sent a maid to the guest house, called Cui'er, who was serving Zhang Lanyue, and asked sharply, "Okay, why did Miss Zhang disappear? Didn't you come close to her?" The servant girl? Why don’t you even know the whereabouts of the master? Tell me, where did Miss Zhang go? If you tell the truth, I will spare your life. If you help Miss Zhang hide it from me , don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Seeing that Madam Su was suspicious of her, Cui'er was so frightened that her eyes went dark, and she threw herself at Madam Su's feet, crying and complaining: "Madam, Madam, please investigate clearly, the servant is wronged. If you have the guts, you don't dare to lie to your wife. This servant really doesn't know where Miss Zhang has gone. Madam, madam, you must trust your servant. Madam, madam, madam, check it out."

The grievous cries of grievances made Mrs. Su feel even more annoyed. Seeing that Nanny Li had returned, she ordered: "Ask the four women to drag her out and give me ten slaps. I'd rather Look at how strict her mouth is."

After hearing this, Cui'er was so frightened that she trembled even more. She hugged Mrs. Su's feet tightly and begged, "Madam, please forgive me, please forgive me. I really don't know, I really don't know. Don't dare to lie to your wife, your wife must trust your slaves."

Seeing that Mrs. Su's brows were furrowed deeply, Madam Li hurriedly called four rough envoys from the yard, and asked them to drag Cui'er into the yard, and beat them hard with ten boards.

The four women didn't know what happened to Tweety, but they saw the anger on Madam Su's face, and Nanny Li's face turned black and black. They didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly dragged Tweety out, for fear that at night One step, and you're on fire.

Nanny Li poured a cup of tea, handed it to Mrs. Su, and persuaded with a smile: "Madam, calm down and have a cup of tea. Lao Luo and his wife have already brought someone to find Miss Zhang. Our Yongning is not very big. Zhang An unfamiliar woman like Miss, who came out of our mansion, is easy to find."

Mrs. Su took the tea and drank it one after another. After a while, Fang asked, "Is there any movement with Mrs. Yuwen and Aunt Liu?"

Nanny Li shook her head and said, "I don't know, but the mansion is looking for Ms. Zhang with such great fanfare. I think Second Mistress and Aunt Liu should also know about Ms. Zhang's disappearance. Why did Madam think of asking this? Could it be that Madam suspected that Ms. Zhang had gone away?" Is it related to Second Mistress and Aunt Liu?"

Mrs. Su shook her head and said, "I just found it strange, so I asked casually. With their temperament of watching the show, Yuwen and Yuxuan are not at home at the moment, so they should come to inquire about Zhang Lanyue's departure, but This time, they all stayed in the house obediently, which is really rare."

Nanny Li thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I guess they are busy with moving, tidying things up in the house."

Mrs. Su nodded casually, and saw the servant girl come in and replied: "Madam, Tweety's ten boards have been finished, and she can't get up now, she is lying on the ground in the yard."

Mrs. Su nodded nonchalantly, and told Nanny Li: "The beating is over, and I'm almost terrified. Go out and ask her to see if she knows Zhang Lanyue's whereabouts, and then think about her the past few days." Zhang Lanyue is different."

Nanny Li agreed, turned around and went out. After a while, she came back and said: "Looking at Tweety's appearance, I really don't know where Ms. Zhang is going. I heard from her that there is nothing unusual about Ms. Zhang these days, but she always drags the waiter The old woman was talking in the room, and she seemed quite affectionate. Furthermore, after the wife finished talking with Ms. Zhang last time, Aunt Liu sent fruit, snacks and bank notes to Ms. Zhang that night, saying that she was grateful to Ms. Zhang's brother. Your life-saving grace to the third master."

At the end of the sentence, seeing Mrs. Su pondering, she didn't say a word, and then replied: "Tui'er has passed out from the pain, the mother-in-law asked someone to carry her back to her room, and asked the mother-in-law to take medicine to take care of her. "

Mrs. Su thought about it again and again, but she didn't feel anything unusual, she snorted coldly: "It seems that Zhang Lanyue is indeed not an ordinary person, but she just doesn't know how this play is performed."

Nanny Li asked from the side: "Madam, do you want to send someone to tell the master about this?"

Mrs. Su shook her head and said: "Don't disturb Master, even if a little yellow-haired girl messes around, I can still clean up the mess."

Nanny Li said bitterly from the side: "This Zhang Lanyue is too ungrateful. My wife is only thinking of her, but she made such a fuss. It's really inappropriate."

Mrs. Su sneered and said: "People go to high places, and water flows to low places. Although her desire to climb high branches is too greedy, it is also expected. There is nothing to worry about. The big deal is to bring her into the capital. The old man The Taijun and the eldest wife are more difficult to deal with than me, if Zhang Lanyue really entered the Duzhongjin Mansion, then she will really suffer."

Just as she was talking, she saw Nanny Luo walking in quickly, and replied, "Mrs., Lao Luo sent someone back to say that Miss Zhang has been found."

Nanny Li asked anxiously: "Where did you find it? Where did she go? What happened?"

Nanny Luo replied with a look of embarrassment: "It was the magistrate who sent someone to inform, saying that a farmer outside the city rescued Miss Zhang who was about to throw herself into the river by the river. I didn't know which girl it was, so I took the girl to the river." Ms. Zhang was sent to the magistrate's yamen. The messenger in the magistrate's yamen knew that we were looking for Ms. Zhang, so the special agent called Lao Luo over and asked him to identify if it was Ms. Zhang. After Lao Luo recognized it, he hurriedly sent someone back to inform Ma'am, please show me how to deal with this matter."

After Madam Su heard Luo Nanny's words, the veins on her head popped. She wished that Zhang Lanyue would throw herself into the river and drown, and she even hated the troublesome peasant who sent her to the magistrate's yamen.

Nanny Li knew that this matter was brought up to the magistrate, so she must think of a good reasoning to get through this, and she must not let Zhang Lanyue drag down the Jin family's reputation and prestige.Thinking of this, she sternly said to Mrs. Su: "Madam, don't be anxious, and don't be angry. Since this matter has already reached the magistrate, we must come forward to explain it. But according to Pozi, Zhang Lanyue's trouble is just a He wanted to force us to bring her into the capital, but he had no intention of harming the Jin family, so he probably didn't say anything against the Jin family at the magistrate. The wife has a noble status, and for the sake of Zhang Lanyue, going to the magistrate to answer the question would be a loss of identity. I also ask the wife to rest at home in peace, and the mother-in-law will go to the magistrate to answer the questions on behalf of the wife. The wife can rest assured, the mother-in-law will definitely settle this matter satisfactorily, and then bring Miss Zhang back to the wife. "

Mrs. Su was extremely reassured about Nanny Li's ability to handle affairs and her conduct, and she was unwilling to go to the magistrate's yamen to see the magistrate's face because of Zhang Lanyue.Seeing that Nanny Li took the initiative to take on this job, she didn't refute her kindness, and nodded in agreement: "That's fine, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, the reputation and reputation of our Jin family is the most important thing." Don't let that little hoof ruin the decency that our Jin family has accumulated over the past few lifetimes."

Nanny Li nodded and said, "Madam, don't worry, the mother-in-law knows."

Mrs. Su smiled reassuringly, and then ordered: "Master Zhifu's place can't be empty anymore, you can go there with 500 taels of silver, thank you Mr. Prefect for your hard work."

After finishing the words, he sighed bitterly: "After you bring Zhang Lanyue back, you don't have to bring her to see me. I don't want to see her. Just let her go back to the guest house to tidy up, and wait to enter the capital with us."

Nanny Li felt sorry for Mrs. Su's hard work, sighed helplessly, comforted Mrs. Su a few more words, and told the maids to take good care of Mrs. Su.Fang went back to the house and changed into decent clothes for going out, took 500 taels of silver notes, took two daughters-in-law with him, and took a carriage to the magistrate's yamen.

Mrs. Su had a headache at this time and didn't care about the affairs of the house and the relocation. After sending the maids out, she went back to the inner room and lay down on the bed. .

Zhang Lanyue's aggressiveness reminded her of the woman who once loved her sisters.For the sake of glory and wealth, that woman took advantage of her trust and favor to climb onto her father's bed and became the youngest and most favored aunt of the Liu family.

Because of the woman's pillow whispers, her father resigned from the marriage that she had made since she was a child, and planned to marry her to the woman's cousin to elevate her natal family's status.Fortunately, Master Jin sent a matchmaker to propose marriage at that time, and Master Liu was still sober-minded, knowing the importance of Gao Panjin's family, which saved her from the tragic fate of marrying an ignorant small family.

Thinking of what that woman had done to her and her relatives, Mrs. Su resented Zhang Lanyue's ignorance even more.No matter what she said, she couldn't let Zhang Lanyue ruin her son and her family.

The reputation and prestige of the Jin family made the magistrate firmly believe in Nanny Li's words, and with 500 taels of Daxie gold to take, the magistrate would naturally not embarrass the Jin family. He said a few casual words and let Li Nanny and Manager Luo took Zhang Lanyue back to Jinfu.

Nanny Li was also full of anger at this time, and she didn't want to talk to Zhang Lanyue, so after sending her back to the guest house, she didn't show any affection, and said in a cold voice: "Miss Zhang, take a good rest, enough rest, Just get ready, tidy up, and wait for the things in Yongning to be taken care of. Let's go to the capital with us. My wife is very busy these days, and I don't have time to visit Ms. Zhang. Please forgive Ms. Zhang for her hard work. Stay in the guest house obediently, and don't cause any more trouble for your wife."

At the end of the sentence, he told the two maids and mother-in-law who were serving Zhang Lanyue: "Tui'er's injury has not healed yet. The ten boards have been beaten quite hard, and it will take several days to heal. You take good care of Tweety, and take good care of yourself." Serve Ms. Zhang, don't make any mistakes. Otherwise, you will see what will happen to Tweety."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the newly transferred maid, Qin'er, to say: "I personally picked you to serve Miss Zhang, don't lose my man, serve Miss Zhang well, don't follow Tweety's old path. Wait for Tweety to raise you." Alright, let me help you by my side."

Qin'er obediently nodded in agreement, and personally sent Nanny Li away before returning to Zhang Lanyue's side to serve her.She is not Cui'er, and she is not uncommon for the job of serving Zhang Lanyue.If Nanny Li hadn't killed herself, she wouldn't have bothered to come and serve this unidentified country girl.
