Chapter 8 Entering the Grange

Ning Wanzhu and Yanhui rushed to Mother Ye's cart panting.In the car, Mother Ye said lightly: "Get in the car!" On the big car, a round head poked out, and a girl about ten years old was poking her head out, looking at the two of them, and saw Ning Wan Zhu was gasping for breath with his arms on his hips, while Yanhui was sobbing uncontrollably because of the fright.

The girl giggled, and said, "Come on!" She stretched out her hands, one by one, and dragged Ning Wanzhu and Yan Hui into the car.

The cart moved slowly again.Ning Wanzhu took a closer look and saw Mother Ye sitting in the car with her eyes closed.And the girl was smiling and looking up and down at the two of them.Yan Hui was still sobbing, and it seemed that he couldn't stop for a while.

"Thank you, sister," Ning Wanzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and solemnly thanked the girl, "I dare not ask my sister Gao's name!"

When Ye Momo heard this, she opened her eyes, glanced at Ning Wanzhu, then closed her eyes again, and said calmly: "Mo Mei, don't be rude, come and see Miss Ning's family!" Mo Mei came over with a smile After seeing the ceremony, Mother Ye said again: "Miss Ning, Mo Mei is my little maid who has always served me. You don't have to be polite to her. But she has practiced a little kung fu, so she has good ears and eyes. If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have heard you two. How dare you drive a cart on foot like this.”

Ning Wanzhu understood Madam Ye's words, and immediately thanked Mo Mei solemnly.Mo Mei giggled, not daring to accept her gift, while Ye Momo nodded slightly, as if she was very satisfied with Ning Wanzhu's performance.

Next, Ning Wanzhu turned to Madam Ye, and whispered what he saw in the backyard of the Ning family before leaving today.Ye Momo nodded, and said to Mo Mei in a low voice: "Mei'er, go find a dress that suits Miss Ning and change it for her. Let's see what good shows that aunt has arranged. "

Mo Mei gently covered her mouth, rolled her eyeballs like lacquer spots, and responded with a smile, and went to make up for Ning Wanzhu.In addition to changing her clothes, she also took her hair apart and recombed it into two small buns on the top of her head, so that in the dark, at first glance, even Aunt Shao would recognize her as a girl. not come out.

Not long after, the sky had completely darkened.But outside the big car, there were more sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking.The cart did indeed drive into a rather lively farm.Ning Wanzhu heard a rough man's voice outside saying: "It's weird, not many people from the Ning family come here at this time of year! There are so many people here today, this is the second car."

Another voice said in a low voice: "When I came to hand it in at noon, it said that there were three cars coming. Why are there only two? It's already dark."

The cart continued to move forward, and stopped when it came to a brightly lit place.

Aunt Shao came to welcome her with someone, and someone held up a torch and shone it brightly.Ye Momo sighed, and said, "I'm getting older, and I can't bear such a dazzling light. This little brother, please let this old bone go!"

The person who came was a half-grown young man, he was very embarrassed when he heard what Ye Momo said, and quickly retreated.Ning Wanzhu and Yan Hui two followed behind Mo Mei and got out of the car taking advantage of the chaos.Both of them just hid in the dark, following Mother Ye from afar.

Everyone embraced Nanny Ye and walked to the main hall of the Ning Family Farm. As she walked, Aunt Shao asked Nanny Ye: "Mommy, the second lady's car hasn't come here yet. Did I see you on the road?"

Ye Momo replied calmly: "No! If the second lady's car drives, if you remember it well, it should be behind the old man's cart!" She said it very calmly, but the fact is true. Never met Ning Wanzhu and the others' cart.

Aunt Shao said "Oh" and said, "Ning Yongqiang, send a few more people to meet him on the road in front of Zhuangzi. It's getting late now, don't let anything happen!"

Ning Wanzhu has heard of Ning Yongqiang's name, and knows that he is the head of his own village. In his previous life, during festivals, this Ning Yongqiang often came to pay his respects to his family. send them all up.

Then Ning Yongqiang got Aunt Shao's order and went.It's just that they just sent people to wait on the main road, so naturally they couldn't wait for any news.Everyone gathered in the main hall of Ningjia Zhuangzi, and waited until it was dark and lights were lit all around, and there was a commotion outside the Zhuangzi.

"It's not good, Auntie, something serious happened!" Ning Yongqiang's voice came from the outer courtyard.

Aunt Shao looked surprised, and quickly got up and asked, "What happened?" Ning Wanzhu watched carefully in the dark, and saw a smug smile on the corner of Aunt Shao's mouth.At this moment, Yan Hui was squeezing beside Ning Wanzhu, she also saw Aunt Shao's expression, Yan Hui was so startled that he stretched out his hand to hold Ning Wanzhu's hand.Ning Wanzhu only felt that Yanhui's hands were wet and cold, and her palms were full of cold sweat, but her own palms were not the same.Ning Wanzhu held Yan Hui with one hand, and tightly clutched the corner of her clothes with the other hand, as if she was afraid that if she was not careful, the terrified scream deep in her throat would be blurted out.

Ning Yongqiang walked in quickly from the outside, and said to Aunt Shao: "Auntie, the second lady's car was robbed. The driver was cut down on the spot and he was dead. I found this next to the cart."

Under the light of the torch, everyone could see clearly that Ning Yongqiang was holding a set of girl's clothes in his hand, judging by the size of the clothes, it was exactly what a five or six-year-old girl was wearing.The clothes were expensive and gorgeous, but they were torn to pieces, the brown spots on the clothes seemed to be dried blood.Presumably, the clothes were probably the clothes in the two bundles that I and Yan Hui fell on the road, and they were picked up by someone, so I made such an illusion of "distress".

Ning Wanzhu felt suffocated, she didn't expect that Aunt Shao's backhand arrangement would be so ruthless.Even if he had a way to escape from birth, with this shirt alone, he could be said to have been ruined by bandits, so he wouldn't have to hold his head up for the rest of his life.When she thought of this, she suddenly heard a slight "de" sound beside her.She turned her head and saw that Yan Hui beside her was trembling, as if she had been frightened out of her wits, and kept knocking her upper and lower teeth together to make the "beep" sound.

Ning Wanzhu became ruthless, twisted Yanhui hard, and leaned into her ear and said, "Yanhui, if we can't calm down, we are really doomed." Yanhui was shocked by the pain, as if turning back Come on.

At this time, Aunt Shao uttered a mournful cry, and fell to the ground, as if unconscious.Everyone in the Ning family knew that Aunt Shao was the biological mother of the "Second Miss" of the Ning family, and they all sympathized with what happened to them.Someone also asked Ning Yongqiang, head of the village, to send a letter to the mansion as soon as possible, so that the Nanyang mansion would issue a sea arrest document, so that the murderer who killed the "Second Miss" could be quickly arrested and brought to justice.

Seeing that the timing was just right, Ning Wanzhu quickly pulled Yan back, and the two of them came out of the dark together and walked up to Aunt Shao.

Then someone said: "Hey, isn't this the second young lady of the Ning family?"

At this time, Aunt Shao was pretending to be waking up, and when she heard this, she bumped forward, and when she saw clearly that the little girl in front of her was really Ning Wanzhu, her eyes turned dark with anger. Hold your breath.

Ning Wanzhu then started acting, crying and explaining to people, she only said that she and Yan Hui were both playful, and went to look for "Sister Mo Mei" in Mammy Ye's cart, but never returned to her cart.Yan Hui shared the same nostrils with her, said exactly the same words, and kept blaming himself, saying that he should not be playful, but the coachman Old Wang placed the order.

Everyone in Zhuangzi comforted the two weeping little girls, saying that this was luck among misfortunes.Everyone was relieved that the Ning family's young lady was fine.

The head of the village, Ning Yongqiang, went to deliver the letter to the Ning family, and the case of the coachman's murder had to be handed over to Nanyang Mansion for handling.Ning Zhuangtou's wife, Mrs. Du, is a woman with exceptional dexterity, so she immediately led a group of daughter-in-laws to Zhang Luo to complete the yards of Nanny Ye and Ning Wanzhu, and Zhang Luo settled everyone down.

Ning Wanzhu rested in her room, seeing that Yan Hui was still out of her mind at this time, dazed, she quickly took Yan Hui's hand and asked what was wrong.

Yanhui came back to his senses at this time, and suddenly took Ning Wanzhu's hand and cried: "Second Miss, I almost died with you, but my parents, this morning, kept encouraging me to follow you Come out together..." Said and howled.Ning Wanzhu was a little speechless, Yan Hui was just a child in front of her, maybe this was the first time he had tasted the feeling of being betrayed by his relatives.Ning Wan Zhu Xindao, the so-called tiger's poison does not eat its children, I am afraid that Yanhui's parents were also deceived by Aunt Shao.

But when she saw Yan Hui crying bitterly, she suddenly felt moved and shouted in a low voice, "Yan Hui!"

Yan Hui was shocked by the deterrent meaning in her tone, she couldn't help raising her head, and looked at Ning Wanzhu suspiciously.

Ning Wanzhu said coldly: "Yan Hui, did your family ask you to inquire about me?"

Yan Hui is indeed a clever girl, but if she sounds like she wrote something to Nanny Ye, it shows that someone is behind her.

Yan Hui was stunned when she heard this, tears still dripping on her face, but she seemed to be dumbfounded, looking at Ning Wanzhu, unable to say anything.

Ning Wanzhu struck while the iron was hot, staring closely at Yan Hui's eyes, and said coldly to her: "You have seen it today. In the Ning family, you and my life have already been tied together. If there is a slight difference today , it’s not just as simple as the life of the coachman. And if I am humiliated, you will have no good fruit to eat..."

Yan Hui stared blankly, judging from today's events, she couldn't refute even a single sentence of Ning Wanzhu's words.

And Ning Wanzhu continued to meet her gaze, and said slowly: "And only I can protect you in this Ning's house..."

If it was in the past, Yanhui would never have paid attention to this "Second Miss" who was two years younger than him.But at some point, she began to not understand what the lady in front of her was doing.Although what Ning Wanzhu did was sometimes unexpected, and sometimes a bit of luck, but it was convincing, and Ning Wanzhu's words became more and more confident.Therefore, right now Ning Wanzhu is saying, "Only I can protect you", which sounds like an empty promise, but Yanhui is suddenly willing to believe what she said in his heart.

With a "plop", Yan Hui knelt down in front of Ning Wanzhu, grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, and cried, "Miss, I was wrong. In the future, I will definitely listen to you, everything..."
