Purple Yi walked out of the house with light and steady steps as usual. As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, her steps were hurried and messy. She hurried a few steps, turned to the back of the yard, and leaned against the trunk of the apricot tree, which had grown about fifty or sixty years old, and let out a long sigh of relief.

There are a few apricot trees planted here, and in the spring, the little maids in the house are greedy for the scenery here and always like to pass by. It's winter, and almost no one passes through this remote place. Therefore, Ziyi should not worry about being seen without an image, but also organize his thoughts.

Ziyi rested his head on the trunk of the tree, looking through the sparse branches at the few white clouds drifting in the blue sky. The sun in winter is not as dazzling as it is in summer, and it is very soft and comfortable on the face. When she was in the house, the conversation with Lan Xin relived in her mind, and even those subtleties were carefully thought through, including Lan Xin's expression and tone at that time.

"Phew!" this time he was completely relieved, and he was secretly glad that he was in a hurry at the time, so he didn't show his flaws. And secretly warned himself that he must be cautious in the future, especially not to be as distracted as he is now. Otherwise, with the wisdom of his own girl, he will definitely see the clue.

I shouldn't have a chance to go back to Xuzhou in the future, let alone see the eldest young master again. Thinking of this, I felt a little melancholy. And the emaciated figure of the eldest young master clearly appeared in front of him. Alas, I don't know if the eldest young master's health has improved? The eldest young grandmother is too bad at taking care of people, and the former eldest young master is like that Yushu Linfeng. After getting married, not only was he thin, but his face was yellow, which made people feel distressed when he looked at it.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Ziyi couldn't help but shiver, and she was shocked, and suddenly came to her senses. Cautiously looking around, there was silence all around, and no one passed by at all. She reached out and patted her chest gently, secretly relieved. Raising her feet and walking out, she hadn't forgotten what her girl had told her to look for Hongxuan.

Knocked his head in annoyance, really, he said that he couldn't lose his mind anymore, why did he unconsciously wander again? After thinking about it, the girl didn't know if she had finished reading the account book of the Splendid Workshop. It is now the end of the year, and the people are too busy, and after the fifth day of the new year, they are about to send someone to Xuzhou for a trip. If you have the opportunity, you will try to go with Koharu again.

Not long after Ziyi went out, Liu's mother walked in. She bowed to her knees, Lan Xin had something in her heart, and there was no smile on her face, and she commanded lightly: "Get up." ”

Mother Liu didn't stand up straight, lowered her head, and said in a choked voice: "The old slave doesn't dare, it's the old slave who is not doing well and causing trouble for the girl." The old slave was ashamed of the lord and the lady, and asked the girl to punish him. ”

Lan Xin paused with the teacup, squinting at the person in front of her, she lowered her head, and couldn't see the expression on her face clearly. took a sip of tea, gently put down the teacup, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did Mom start with this?"

"Old slave, old slave. Mother Liu squirmed her lips, not knowing what to say for a while. Lan Xin was not in a hurry, just looked at her quietly. Mother Liu looked up at Lan Xin's indifferent appearance, and her heart sank. Although the girl didn't say anything, Mother Liu felt that such a girl was even more unfathomable.

She took a deep breath, lowered her head and whispered: "The old slave instructed Ziyi to tidy up the warehouse a few days ago, I don't know why, when the old slave went to get something, he saw Qinghe standing there tidying up the warehouse. The old slave saw that Qinghe had already sorted out a lot of things, and if it was a replacement, he would have to rearrange it. Therefore, the old slave did not break this matter. It wasn't until Ziyi came back from Xuzhou that the old slave knew that because of this negligence, he had caused so much trouble for the girl. The old slave knew that he was wrong, and asked the girl to punish him. ”

"Tell me, what's wrong with you?" Lan Xin casually picked up an orange, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and asked slowly.

"Old slave······ The old slave was often in a daze when he saw Ziyi in the past two days, so he ····· So ······" Mother Liu raised her eyes and looked at Lan Xin intently playing with the orange in her hand, "So I caused trouble for the girl." ”

"Ziyi often wanders, is it just getting me into trouble?" Lan Xin asked back with a smile. Looking at Mother Liu's entangled expression, she said lightly, "Mother Liu, I remember that you seemed to mention my father and my mother just now. almost misunderstood, Mother Liu is reminding me that you are a veteran figure in this mansion, let me be careful when I speak and act. ”

Mother Liu's legs were weak, and she knelt on the ground with a "plop", waved her hands in a panic, and stammered and explained: "No, no, girl, the old slave definitely has no intention of being disrespectful to you." Absolutely nothing. As he spoke, he touched his head to the ground and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

"Then Mom, tell me, what is the purpose of your coming here today, and what is wrong?" Lan Xin carefully measured the orange in his hand and asked in a deep voice.

"Old slave······ Old slave. Mother Liu's back was already soaked, and Lan Xin's faint gaze fell on her, which made her feel an unprecedented pressure, this kind of feeling, even in the master, has never been. She swallowed hard and said, "Return, back to the girl's words, old slave ·····"

"Mother Liu, it's the New Year's Festival right now, and we have a lot of things in our hands. You'd better think it through. Lan Xin interrupted her softly, "Your family has guarded the Yu family for so many years, and I am very grateful in my heart. If you want to blackmail you to repay your kindness, then don't blame me for being ruthless. She spoke softly and softly, but the words she said were chilling.

Mother Liu trembled, and assured in a deep voice: "The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave's family is sincere to the girl's and the Yu family, the sun and the moon can be seen, and there is absolutely no second heart!" "Hmm", hearing Lan Xinruo's hum, sorted out his thoughts, and continued, "The old slave made a mistake knowing that there was a mistake in the deployment of manpower, but he didn't correct it in time because he was afraid of trouble. Secondly, for things that have no evidence, speculate indiscriminately, and rely on the supervisor's assumptions to evaluate others. ”

Lan Xin raised his eyes to look at the person kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "Okay, you get up." This time, Mother Liu didn't say much, and after thanking her, she stood up. Lan Xin looked at the thin sweat on her forehead, pursed her lips and said, "Go clean up first, and then come over and talk." ”
