Waiting for Lin Lianshuang to settle down and return to the house peacefully, Xiao Yuan came back with wine.

An Ning hurriedly asked someone to serve him sobering tea, and went over to talk to Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan drank the sobering tea, and his eyes were already clear.

An Ning waved her hand to let her subordinates withdraw, and Xiao Yuan hugged her and said softly, "Everyone Lin has settled down?"

An Ning nodded: "Well, naturally she has settled down, Ming'er, I will help her move, let her live in the house not far from our house first, and in the future, I'm afraid I will have to move." ”

Xiao Yuan smiled: "She's afraid that it's all about you at this time." ”

An Ning glared at Xiao Yuan: "Who am I doing this for, it's not that you want to use her a lot." ”

Xiao Yuan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I thank Mrs. a lot, having Mrs. here saves me a lot of trouble." ”

Isn't it, Xiao Yuan's subordinates are truly loyal to him now.

Among them, tranquility plays a big role.

Whoever Xiao Yuan has to use, Anning is caring.

Whether it is a civilian official or a military attaché, An Ning can care for them silently, but it is not good to make people feel moved.

Whose mother's birthday, whose child is shocked or caught the wind, which family's daughter-in-law is pregnant, Anning is in mind, will take good care, her care makes you feel warm and warm, only feel that the lord attaches importance to his own family, and the housemother is also concerned and considerate of his own family, for such a lord, it is worth it.

In addition to this, there are many details on it.

For example, Xiao Yuan summoned his subordinates into the house to discuss matters, An Ning would work refreshments, wait for a long time, and ask people to send food and vegetables, and the house will be cleaned up very neatly, when it is hot, an ice basin will be placed, and when it is cold, it will make people burn a hot carbon stove, and the house will be warm, if the subordinates are in a hurry, An Ning will also let the subordinates go to his house to help talk, or take clothes or something, if the sky changes, when leaving, he will also ask his subordinates to drive the carriage to send, and on the carriage, there will be some jerky or food or something, anyway, it is all kinds of thoughtful and meticulous, which makes people feel intimate。

At this time, it is important to pay attention to the death of the person who knows it.

Xiao Yuan and An Ning made it like this, and those subordinates were really grateful, and they only felt that it was comfortable to follow such a lord without saying what the future was.

"A smart person like the Lin family, it is impossible to be tempted by her. ”

An Ning nestled in Xiao Yuan's arms and said softly: "Only by moving with affection can she really take care of it, if you don't plan to use it, I will let her stay in the back house to help teach the five girls in our family, but if you want her to be a marquis and worship the prime minister, I will naturally help you accept it." ”

Xiao Yuan stroked An Ning's hair: "It's good to have you." ”

Just as Xiao Yuan and An Ning were warm and affectionate, they heard a coughing sound outside the window.

"Chunxing, come in. ”

An Ning quickly sat up straight and said.

Chun Xing bowed down and entered the door: "Madam, the guard on the other side of West Street has sent a message that the old lady has gone." ”

"What?"

Xiao Yuan and An Ning were both shocked: "What's the matter?"

Naturally, now is not the time to inquire why, Xiao Yuan hurriedly said: "Chunxing, you go and ask the girls and sons to get up, let them change into plain clothes, and my wife and I will go to the West Street after packing up here." ”

Chun Xing was ordered to go out.

Xiao Yuan and An Ning hurriedly found out the plain clothes and changed them on.

When they came out, the children were all dressed and waiting in the yard.

The person in charge outside has already called for someone to prepare a car.

At this time, the sky was dark, the sky turned dark blue, and a trace of red could be faintly seen in the west, which was more like the color of blood against the dark blue background.

An Ning glanced at the west, and his expression was a little gloomy.

"Mother. ”

Xiao Fu came over to help An Ning.

An Ning took the five girls to West Street in a carriage.

Xiao Yuan led the boys to ride horses or cars all the way over.

When they passed, it was quiet outside the house on West Street, and the pillars at the door were painted vermilion, and the white flags outside the door were not hung.

Xiao Yuan glanced up and couldn't help frowning.

"Open the door. ”

He was the gatekeeper.

Soon, the middle door was opened, and Xiao Yuan got off the horse and went to the side of the carriage to help An Ning and the children get off.

It wasn't until the youngest Xiao Yin also jumped out of the car that the family entered the door.

When I entered the door, I saw that no one was moving around, and no one was thinking about hanging white flags or putting away the red things in the courtyard.

An Ning said coldly: "It's a little different. ”

The group walked quickly into the main room, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard bursts of crying.

In the middle hall, the Zhao family, the Wei family, and Lan Siniang were crying, and the old lady sat down on the chair, with a gloomy face and did not speak.

Xiao Yuan went in and asked, "Where are the gentlemen in the family, where have they gone, and what's the matter with the old lady?"

The old lady looked up at Xiao Yuan, and when he saw Xiao Yuan, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, as if he had hope: "Third child, you are here, your mother...... The old lady is in the house. ”

Xiao Yuan and An Ning didn't ask any more questions, turned around and entered the inner room.

Inside the house, the old lady was lying on her back on the bed, the dirt and blood on her body had not yet been cleaned up, her face was blue, her eyes were staring, and her mouth was open, because the person was dead, and her cheeks were sunken in, and her teeth were protruding.

Seeing the old lady like this, several children were frightened, and they all hurried to retreat behind An Ning and Xiao Yuan.

An Ning said to Xiao Song: "Take your younger brothers and sisters out and wait." ”

Xiao Song went out with a group of children, Xiao Yuan went over to help close the old lady's eyes, turned around and came out of the house before asking, "What the hell is going on? Why didn't the old lady have it? What about Xiao Jue and Xiao Su? Where are the people?"

An Ning asked Zhao: "What about the old lady's clothes?

The old lady was in tears, shaking her lips and unable to speak.

Zhao raised his head and glared at An Ning: "You didn't come, how could we freshen up and change her clothes, in case you came and said what happened to us, who can tell." ”

An Ning smiled angrily: "Now it can be said clearly? Where did the blood on the old lady's body come from? But she stared, that is dead and blind, who let her not be blind?"

Zhao stopped crying, got up and said coldly: "Except for the cold-hearted third master, who else, hehe, I don't recognize my father and mother in a few words, why doesn't the old lady feel distressed, why don't you ......"

Before she finished speaking, An Ning stretched out her hand and fanned it with a few ear scrapers: "What do you say in your mouth." ”

After these slaps, Zhao's face was already red and swollen, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and one of his teeth was knocked out.

An Ning's expression was a little solemn: "Our lord is the eldest son of the Xiao family's long house, and he is the first in the big house, and now our lord just recognizes his own father and mother, if I hear you say these inconsequential words again, next time it will not be just a few slaps." ”

She grabbed Zhao's hair and dragged her into the inner room, and after entering, An Ning pushed Zhao to the ground: "Say, what's the matter with the old lady?"

Zhao was really scared.

Her face hurt very much, and she was dragged by An Ning's hair, and her scalp hurt so much that it was numb.

She looked at An Ning with some fear: "Who knows, at noon, I said I had a headache and said that I wanted to sleep for a while, but in the evening, I came to call her to eat, and I saw her fall to the ground, covered in blood." ”
