Wei Zi looked in the direction she was looking and couldn't help but be stunned. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I saw an old lady in tattered clothes squatting in the corner, her eyes closed as if she was asleep, her hands clasped to her chest. As if hearing someone coming, she rubbed her eyes and stood up at a very slow pace.

"Young Master Wang Hui, when can you let me in?"

The moment she looked forward, the expression on her face froze.

"Little, miss, why are you here?"

Wei Zi stared at her in confusion, and then turned his head to look at the expression on Xie Mengxin's face. Who is this mother-in-law? How can you stay here?

Looking at Xie Mengxin's expression, it was obvious that he knew it.

"This is my place, why can't I come? Didn't you run away? What are you going to do when you come back! ”

Xie Mengxin's face was gloomy, and her tone was a little impulsive, but she didn't say anything hurtful.

"Miss, I really didn't run away, it's just that our little grandson has been sick some time ago. There was no money at home, and I couldn't help here, so I had to go back and take care of him first, so that my son and daughter-in-law could work together to earn money to recuperate. ”

Although Xie Mengxin's voice was not loud, the woman was trembling with fright as if she had been struck by lightning.

"In the past few days, my little grandson's illness has improved a bit, and I don't need to keep an eye on it at home anymore. But after I came back, such a big change had taken place here, and Young Master Wang Hui had never agreed to let me in. I said I was waiting for you, miss, and it would be nice to see you. ”

She subconsciously glanced up at Xie Mengxin, and then retracted her hand very timidly. Xie Mengxin was in front of her and didn't see anything. But Wei Zi saw a hint of complexity flashing in the woman's eyes, which made her a little puzzled.

This mother-in-law, it looks like something is wrong.

Wei Zi narrowed his eyes, calmed down, and looked at the woman's hand. Strange to say, the dress looks so tattered, and the sleeves are quite intact. The cuffs were so wide that they blocked her hands from being seen.

Generally, housekeepers like them, or people who need to work, should wear some clothes with tight sleeves. In this way, it is convenient to work and will not drag mud and water.

As for this... If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Wei Zi couldn't help but have a heart, took a few steps forward, and got closer to Xie Mengxin. Whatever this mother-in-law wants to do, it's best to be careful.

"If anything, you can tell the butler and let him come and talk to me. But you didn't let me hear any news from you at all, and you just disappeared silently. ”

Although she still had a straight face, after listening to her mother-in-law's explanation, Xie Mengxin's tone softened a little.

She is not an unkind person, she originally only hated this woman for leaving her post without permission, and did not take the master in her eyes. Now it seems that human life is naturally important, but for such a long time, there is not even a message, and it is still punishable.

At first, it was indeed an emergency, but it was not a simple matter to be silent for so many months.

Although this Zhuangzi was originally not worth much, and there was nothing at all, but now it is different.

If this woman really left Zhuangzi and ran away again, if there is really anything valuable, how can she afford this kind of consequence?

Hearing this, a trace of confusion flashed in the woman's eyes.

This confusion is real, and it is not deliberately pretended to be given to Xie Mengxin, because she didn't even raise her head. Wei Zi had been carefully observing her movements, and her suspicion was a little less.

Maybe I was too distracted just now, maybe I can't say.

"Miss, I told the housekeeper about my leave. At that time, the housekeeper agreed and said that I should take a good look at my grandson. He will naturally find someone to come over and watch this side of the matter, so I don't have to run back and forth anymore. If not, how dare I not come back for so long? ”

Xie Mengxin frowned and looked at the woman suspiciously.

It is said that this incident should not have happened, after all, compared to this mother-in-law, she still trusts the housekeeper who has been in the General's Mansion for so many years. But this woman's words are conclusive, it really doesn't look like pretending to deceive people, and there is no emptiness in her eyes.

But if the butler refused to agree, why let her go? The housekeeper has been working very meticulously, and he handles all the big and small affairs of the general's mansion, this kind of thing should not be ignored, but now he is negligent.

At this juncture, it's not easy for her to go back and ask.

After all, if Mrs. Xie didn't find out, it would be okay, after all, this place would be her future dowry, and it would be her own private property.

But if someone finds out, what is she doing here, I'm afraid that Mrs. Xie will come and destroy it immediately.

Therefore, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she glanced back at Wei Zi. But Wei Zi didn't know what to say to her, when this happened, she didn't know Xie Mengxin, how else could she interfere?

Wang Hui walked over, approached Xie Mengxin, and bowed his head slightly.

"I have investigated this matter privately, and some people say that they did see this woman in contact with the housekeeper a few months ago. Although I don't know what she said specifically, it was only since then that this woman went back, and no one from Zhuangzi has been here again. ”

Xie Mengxin frowned slightly, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Although he was a little unhappy with Wang Hui, Xie Mengxin still wouldn't doubt what he said. When it comes to the issue of news, no one is more well-informed than Wang Hui. He even said that he had checked, and he must have figured out the results of this matter.

That is, is it really the housekeeper's fault?

So did the housekeeper deliberately not tell himself, or did he forget about it? There are so many big and small things every day, and it is not surprising to say that they have forgotten about it.

Therefore, she quickly stretched her brows, looked at the woman's eyes and was no longer indifferent, and sighed slightly.

"In that case, then you should watch it in the Zhuangzi first! If there is something wrong next time, you can tell me directly, and I will meet you. The butler's words may be because he is too busy to neglect you, and that's fine. ”

The woman paused slightly, and answered yes.

Xie Mengxin missed her and walked forward. Wei Zizhi followed beside her, and subconsciously glanced at her mother-in-law again.

She always felt that something was starting to be wrong with this matter again, and the butler she had seen it before, and it didn't look like a careless person.

Even if it's a trivial matter like asking for leave, there is no need to tell Xie Mengxin, but there should always be another person to stay here.

Besides, she was the only one who noticed that when the woman agreed, did she hesitate for a few seconds?
