Chapter 660 Alarming the Old Madam

He Lanshan thought to herself, with such a big commotion, many people in the Shao Mansion should know about it, and she wondered whether the plan could go smoothly as she thought.

"Master Qi should be back early today." The boy said while leading the way, "Miss He, please sit down first, I'll go talk to Madam."

He Lanshan nodded, and soon the servant went to Mrs. Huang's place.

"You go back first, and tell her that I'll be there in a while." Mrs. Huang frowned, and dismissed the servant with displeasure. What do you mean by sending so many things to the house all of a sudden, and you still want to see me?"

For a moment, Madam Zheng couldn't figure out He Lanshan's intentions for doing this. She just heard that the boy who answered the conversation said that the things were for Shao Juntang, and that there was a birthday gift for the old lady inside, so she didn't know what she said. What does out mean.

"Ma'am, don't rush to see her, I'll ask someone to inquire about it later." Madam Zheng felt that she had to find out why He Lanshan came here before thinking about how to deal with it.

Mother Zheng sent a maid to entertain He Lanshan first, and then carefully inquired over to answer. What she and Mrs. Huang didn't expect was that the news that He Lanshan was moving things to Shao's mansion had already spread. It reached Mrs. Shao's ears.

Mrs. Shao has silver hair, but she is hale and hearty and has a kind face. She heard that someone came to give something and thought it was a birthday gift for herself.

She was wondering who had sent it so carefully before the birthday came, but when she asked again, it turned out to be someone she had never heard of and had no contact with her family at all.

"That's strange." Mrs. Shao smiled slightly, feeling a little interesting, so she called the old butler and asked him to inquire about who gave the gift today and why.

The housekeeper went out immediately, Mrs. Shao sent him out here, and sent the maid beside her to call Huang over for questioning.

The maids sent by Madam Zheng didn't get any useful news. When Mrs. Huang and Madam Zheng were feeling troubled, they suddenly heard that Mrs. Shao had sent someone, and they were even more shocked.

"How could you alarm the old lady?" Mrs. Huang held onto Nanny Zheng's wrist, her heart was in a mess, as if facing a big enemy, she still didn't know what medicine He Lanshan was selling in the gourd!
"The old madam asked you to come over." The maid beside Mrs. Shao was mature and steady, different from ordinary little girls, because she spoke and acted on behalf of Mrs. Shao, so she also had some prestige.She greeted Mrs. Huang and saluted, and then directly explained her intentions.

Mrs. Huang naturally did not dare to neglect Mrs. Shao's request, so she had to put aside the matter of He Lanshan first, and led Madam Zheng and the maid to the old lady's place.

"Who is here, and where did he come from?" Mrs. Shao looked at her with a smile and squinted her eyes and saluted, and asked her directly after letting her sit down.

Huang's heart was a little guilty, she hesitated and glanced at Madam Zheng, seeing her nodding, she felt relieved to slander He Lanshan.

"It's just a girl from the countryside, and I don't want to disturb my mother." Mrs. Huang replied with a smile, very respectful.

Mrs. Shao repeated her words with a half-smile, "A girl from the country?"

"Yes." Huang quickly repeated it again, as if she was afraid that she would find out that she was guilty.

"Why would a girl from the countryside send so many things?" Mrs. Shao looked at the problem very sharply.

When Mrs. Huang was told by Mrs. Shao, she realized that she had been careless, and with a guilty conscience, she quickly thought about how to make amends for herself.

"It's like this," Huang's eyes rolled, and he arranged a new crime for He Lanshan, "Ms. He's family is now doing a small business in the capital, and when they were in the countryside, they just got Qiye's care. , now I have a little money, but I want to get rich by seeking relationships."

Speaking of He Lanshan, Huang's eyes unconsciously showed some disgust and disgust, "It's just a man who is opportunistic."

Mrs. Shao was silent for a moment after hearing Huang's words, her brows were slightly frowned, she wanted to ask something, but finally she didn't ask.

Seeing that Mrs. Shao didn't ask any more questions, Mrs. Huang thought she believed her words, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the old housekeeper who was sent by Mrs. Shao just now came back.

Mrs. Huang didn't know what the housekeeper was doing, but when he entered the room and Mrs. Shao bowed to salute, she secretly smiled reassuringly with Madam Zheng beside her.

Mrs. Shao naturally saw all these little actions of Mrs. Huang clearly. Although she didn't say anything, she deliberately raised a level and asked the old housekeeper.

"Tell me, who is this person?" Mrs. Shao asked calmly. Sure enough, when Mrs. Huang heard this, the smile that was still on her face disappeared immediately, and she became restless.

The old housekeeper nodded, and truthfully told the facts he had inquired about.

"The people here are from the He family. Ms. He's name is He Lanshan. She was also doing business in Pingyang County and Wangyue Mansion back then. She was helped by Lord Qi, and she has been in contact with her ever since."

"Now the He family has opened a Shixiang Pavilion in the capital, and Ms. He's homemade dishes are the most famous." The housekeeper said in earnest, "When it first opened, Master Qi also went to cut the ribbon himself. I heard that Ms. He is very powerful, she even decides almost everything in the family, and even her parents listen to her very much."

Mrs. Shao listened carefully and thought it was interesting, so she nodded to let him continue.

"In addition, Ms. He has three older brothers, and two of them are Juren, and they have been instructed by the Ning University." The housekeeper paused and added, "It is said that the He family came to the capital at the beginning to accompany these two Juren. Participate in next year's imperial examination."

"Is that so?" Mrs. Shao originally thought that it would be great for this family to open a Shixiang Pavilion in the capital, and to be able to send so many things, but when they heard that the He family had two candidates who were about to take the imperial examination , and also had contacts with the Ning University scholar, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he was even a little envious.

Mrs. Shao stood up, and the maid beside her quickly went to help her hand.

The old housekeeper didn't understand why the old lady was so excited, so he looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Take me to have a look. I want to see this Miss He with my own eyes." Mrs. Shao really wanted to see the family members of these two Juren with her own eyes, and she was also very interested in the powerful He Lanshan. She wanted to meet and chat to learn more many.

When Huang heard this, she felt a little anxious, she stood up quickly, her lips trembled, she wanted to stop her but she didn't know where to start.

The old butler just followed Madam Shao and was about to go out, while walking, he continued to talk about the purpose of He Lanshan's visit this time.
