Chapter 286 Chapter 286

Shen Mengdie didn't have any thoughts about the young women with different thoughts in front of her, and in the following time, she would not have any contact with these people again.

Mrs. Xiao didn't know whether she didn't see the reaction of the people present, or for some other reason, but she still said cheerfully: "Master, it was all because of you to subdue the evil spirit last night. I have a heartless request, and I hope the master can agree. "

"Oh? I don't know what Mrs. Xiao is talking about?"

"I also ask the master to stay at my house for a few more days, and I will be grateful when my son comes back."

Although Mrs. Xiao is Xiao Yi's mother, there are some things that she can't mobilize. Besides, she also has other plans in her heart.

"This..." Although Shen Mengdie's heart was moved by the other party's proposal, she agreed without hesitation, and it didn't quite fit the persona she had created in everyone's minds.

"Master, please stay a few more days."

Shen Mengdie looked at Mrs. Xiao who sincerely invited her, glanced at the indignant expressions of other women present from the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but laugh.

After stretching out her hand to caress her cheek, she couldn't help chuckling in her heart: "Could it be that my face just makes these women worry, or is Xiao Yi's charm so great that he can kill everyone?"

"Master, what do you think?"

Shen Mengdie, who was thinking about it, was brought back to her senses by Mrs. Xiao's question. She curled her lips and said with a gentle smile to the other party: "In that case, I will stay for a few more days just to disturb you."

"Master, you are welcome."

After the two chatted for a while about homework, they began to formally dine.

In Xiao's Villa, there is no so-called requirement of not eating or sleeping, so Shen Mengdie watched the young women beside her keep picking up vegetables for Mrs. Xiao and complimenting her.

During the conversation between Shen Mengdie and Mrs. Xiao, both of them seemed to deliberately not mention the matter of remuneration.After finishing her lunch in such a lively manner, she was about to leave but was left behind by Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao asked all the other women to retreat, leaving only her behind, and the servants who served her also quickly retreated after serving the tea.

Shen Mengdie gently picked up the cup, took a sip of the tea, put down the cup slowly, and turned her gaze to Mrs. Xiao who was sitting opposite her.

"Does Mrs. Xiao have something to say to me?" She thought that she should have nothing to talk to the person in front of her, but the person in front of her expressed that she had something to say, so naturally she would not spoil the other person's interest.

Mrs. Xiao turned the Buddha on her wrist, her gentle eyes bent, and said with a smile: "Master, is there a place where you are not used to living? I will let the people below arrange it quickly."

"Everything is fine in your mansion, so you don't need to bother." Shen Mengdie responded softly, but her eyes were on Mrs. Xiao's face.

In her mind, the old lady who was so superstitious and cheerful all day long had no similarities with the taciturn Xiao Yi.

"No trouble, no trouble. It's all what we should do." Mrs. Xiao responded repeatedly, then pondered for a while and continued to ask: "Where did the master come from?"

Shen Mengdie raised her eyebrows lightly, knowing that the other party wanted to know her origin, and she didn't hide it, telling her where the system arranged for her.

"I am the No. 16 disciple of Maoshan, Shen Mengdie. This time I went down the mountain to practice."

"Sure enough, he is a famous apprentice!"

Old Mrs. Xiao sighed, her eyes slowly filled with joy.

In this world, the Maoshan School can also be regarded as a great sect, with many disciples, and the disciples who can rank high among the sects are naturally the existences that ordinary people flock to.

Mrs. Xiao felt that she was really lucky this time, to be able to meet the existence of an expert, she laughed and said repeatedly: "Okay, Master is really..."

"Dong dong dong..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.

After looking up at the door, she asked suicidally, "What's the matter?"

"Madam, the manager of the inn is asking to see you."

An immature female voice sounded outside the door, and Shen Mengdie recognized that it was a little maid who was serving Mrs. Xiao.

"Treasurer?" Mrs. Xiao murmured in a daze, and then, as if she had thought of something, she said happily, "Please hurry up."

"Yes!"

After a clear answer, the door opened slowly with a "squeak".

"Madam Xiao is safe and healthy."

Shen Mengdie cast a glance at the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground, and felt very familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.

"Get up quickly, did you bring the portrait?" Mrs. Xiao asked eagerly as she waved her palm lightly.

"I've brought it with me, please take a look at the old lady." The shopkeeper hurriedly presented the picture scroll in his hand, and respectfully placed it in the hands of the old lady Xiao.Just as he was backing away, he suddenly noticed Shen Mengdie beside him. "Why is she here?"

Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao naturally quickly introduced: "This is the master who came to catch ghosts yesterday."

Shen Mengdie also recognized who this middle-aged man was at this time.She silently nodded her head to the other party as a greeting.

This middle-aged man was the innkeeper of Xiao's inn where he stayed when he came to this ancient city. She had seen this man the day she met Xiao Yi, but because all the attention was on Xiao Yi at that time, it was just She glanced at this person lightly, so she didn't remember it when she saw it just now.

"Old lady, she is the one I told you about."

"Ah? It's actually a master!"

Shen Mengdie looked at the two people who were asking and answering in front of her, feeling a little puzzled.

At this time, after the initial surprise, Mrs. Xiao quickly asked the maid behind her to open the picture scroll in front of her.

As the scroll unfolded slowly, Shen Mengdie saw the person in the painting.

"Eh? Why is it me?" She wondered secretly in her heart. Although the person in the painting was slightly different from her, in her eyes who were used to seeing her own face, the person on the scroll was clearly her.

"It really is a master!" Mrs. Xiao sighed softly, and closed the scroll with satisfaction.

Shen Mengdie looked at Mrs. Xiao who cast her gaze at her, and asked suspiciously: "I wonder if Mrs. Xiao agrees?"

"Master and my son have known each other for a long time, right?"

Although she didn't understand why the other party asked herself like this, but for the sake of her future tasks, she still complied. "Mr. Xiao and I are old acquaintances, but Mrs. Xiao asked why?"

Shen Mengdie felt that even if she and Xiao Yi were old acquaintances, it shouldn't have much influence. Now she registered an account with Mrs. Xiao, and even if Xiao Yi came back, she couldn't let herself leave at will.
