Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 5
Nanny Zhou's smiling face seemed stiffened by glue, "Young madam doesn't care about things, she doesn't know the difficulties of managing things."

"Really?" Lu Xinyan lazily spit out two words, the next moment the subject changed, her beautiful eyes became as sharp as knives, and she pressed towards Nanny Zhou.

"It's about eighteen miles away from the city gate. You guys came here on foot, plus you went out of the city gate to queue up for inspection. Even if you took the shortest way, it would take at least half an hour. From the sunset to now, the total time is less than half an hour." Time! And this torch, pine oil, if not prepared early in the morning, how could it be readily available? Could it be that someone predicted that I would not be able to go back early, so they prepared everything early?"

Mother Zhou couldn't help but take two steps back because of the momentum, she could maintain her expression when she heard this, but she was terrified in her heart.

Throughout the whole plan, Jiang and she only thought about whether the old lady would be suspicious, and how to avoid the old lady's suspicion. They never thought about how Lu Xinyan, who was always easy to deceive, would react!
However, Nanny Zhou is worthy of her experience in the world, and quickly figured out a way to deal with it, "Madam knows that the young lady will come back today, so she has already prepared for it just in case, and the city gate will be arranged in advance, and the servants of the mansion will be dispatched before entering the city." The official road is waiting!

When it was getting dark, the servants did not see the carriage to pick up the young lady, so they immediately went back to the house and reported to the lady. The lady guessed that there might be a blockage on the road, and was worried that something would happen, so she immediately sent the old man to lead someone to look for it!No, something really happened!If it hadn't been for the old man who brought someone in time, the next target of the three thieves might be the young lady's carriage. "

"Papa papa", Lu Xinyan couldn't help applauding.

In the original owner's memory, Mother Zhou around Jiang's side had always acted in a low-key manner, and she was consistent with Jiang's instructions, never revealing herself.

Now in this confrontation, I realize that it is a hidden and powerful character!

After these words were said, they were almost perfect and flawless. If others listened to them, they would only think that Jiang's actions were thorough, but her Lu Xinyan treated the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!

However, Zhou Nanny's words were almost perfect and flawless!

Lu Xinyan pursed her lips and smiled, and said slowly: "So, your master already knew there were risks on the road?"

Nanny Zhou replied cautiously: "Recently, the officialdom is really not peaceful."

Lu Xinyan sneered suddenly, and spoke quickly and aggressively, "Since we knew that the officialdom was not smooth, why did we only send an old nanny, a thin girl, and two coachmen who have no power to fight back?"

old mammy?

Nanny Lin is lying innocently!
Although she is 30, she is well maintained and looks like she is only in her [-]s!

How can you use old age to describe it?Nanny Lin stood aside and slandered secretly.

Nanny Zhou settled her mind: "Young Madam, tomorrow will be the old lady's birthday banquet. A few days ago, everyone was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. The mansion really can't spare many people!"

Your young lady's return is more important than the old lady's birthday banquet without any mistakes?

Since ancient times, filial piety has been the way of heaven, so you can't ignore the old lady's birthday banquet just to pick you up!

Nanny Zhou thought that Lu Xinyan would have nothing to say if the big hat of filial piety was suppressed!

But Lu Xinyan sneered, "I don't know when the Hou's mansion became so poor, or my young lady is not important at all, or someone wants something to happen to me, so that the adulterer can ruin my innocence and divorce me. The government took away my dowry!"

Mother Zhou's back was dripping with sweat, she gritted her teeth and asked, "It's absolutely nothing, Young Madam, you are worrying too much."

"Really? If there is no manpower in the mansion, there is an escort bureau in Beijing, and if you spend some money to hire a few escorts to come and escort, won't all the problems be solved?" Lu Xinyan glanced over with sharp eyebrows, domineering sideways, "But the mansion You can't even think of this level, if it's not that your master has a problem with his ability, then he has other motives!"

As soon as these words came out, Nanny Zhou finally had no ability to resist, her complexion changed suddenly, her legs softened, and she knelt down in front of Lu Xinyan.

"This matter has nothing to do with Madam! Madam handed this matter over to the servant. It is the servant's ineffectiveness. If you want to blame the young lady, please blame the servant. The servant is willing to bear it!"

He doesn't even call himself an old man anymore, and directly calls himself a slave.

Lu Xinyan stroked her chin lightly, and asked with great interest: "How does Mammy plan to take it all on her own?"

Nanny Zhou lowered her head, "This servant is willing to slap herself thirty times to plead guilty to Young Madam!"

After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and slapped her face fiercely, but Qingtong who was standing beside her stretched out her hand and gently clamped it.

Lu Xinyan said with a half smile but not a smile: "Nurse Zhou, tomorrow is grandma's birthday banquet. As your master's personal nun, you must come out to accompany your wife and greet the guests, family servants and servants in the mansion! If you hurt your face at this time, yes Do you want to treat guests with injuries tomorrow, disgrace grandma, and let grandma blame me for not knowing the general and not distinguishing the serious?"

Nanny Zhou wanted to turn the tide by trying to turn the tide, but she was easily exposed, and she was shocked, "Young madam is serious, this slave has no such intentions! This slave just wants to do things ineffectively and annoy the young madam. Ma'am is just making an apology!"

"Annoyed me? Why am I annoyed? You said you would take it all on yourself, and you slapped yourself thirty times, but I didn't say anything!"

Lu Xinyan smiled lightly, "Or is it that I, Lu Xinyan, are such a small-hearted person in Zhou Nanny's heart?"

"I don't dare." Nanny Zhou finally couldn't help trembling all over, "It's all the fault of the slave, it's the villain's heart!"

"Actually, you guessed it right." Lu Xinyan smiled, and evil spirits appeared in her eyes, "I'm really a small-bodied person, so I saved the thirty slaps for my grandmother's birthday banquet, and I let Qingtong do it myself."

Nanny Zhou trembled all over and collapsed to the ground, her teeth chattering.

The three maids around Lu Xinyan were very unfamiliar, but needless to say, Nanny Zhou also knew who Qingtong Lu Xinyan was talking about!
The wrist that was pinched by that girl just now is still aching, one can imagine how strong that girl is.

If she slapped those thirty slaps with all her strength, would she still be able to see people with her old face in the future?

"It's getting late, we should go back as soon as possible, I'm afraid grandma is waiting impatiently."

Lu Xinyan raised her hand, Xiao He and the three followed her to the carriage.
