Chapter 55: The Contest (3)

Yan Qiniang's heart was like a bell and drum, and she looked at Gu's mother in disbelief, "How could it be...... How could the official errand ......" Yan Qiniang desperately wanted to see from Gu's mother's eyes that these official errands were not coming for her, but she was destined to be disappointed.

At this time, Manager Xu came over with an expressionless face, "Miss, master, please go to the main hall immediately", after that, he didn't give Yan Qiniang the slightest opportunity to ask, separating her from Gu's mother.

Raising her eyes to look at the indifferent family around her, Yan Qiniang frowned, feeling that things were really beyond her imagination, and even her subordinates began to seek good fortune and avoid evil, giving Gu's mother a reassuring look, Yan Qiniang moved forward silently.

Trying to recall a series of things that happened recently, Yan Qiniang desperately wanted to find out the reason why Yan Zheng was angry, so she could be prepared, but she wanted to break her head, and she didn't know what was going on, but the anxiety in her heart added a little more.

Atrium

Yan Zheng angrily pointed at the man in official uniform below, "Lin Hua, what do you mean?" ”

"Master Yan, what can I mean, I'm on business", it was the man Yan Zheng was referring to who spoke, and I saw his small eyes greedily sweeping the decoration of the hall, and said in a yin air, "I was also ordered by the official master to come to check on Yan Qiniang and the two dead unknown ......"

"Bastard!" Lin Hua was interrupted by Yan Zheng before he finished speaking, "Qi Niang's name is also what you can call?" You still have to wear this skin with my face, what's the matter? Stiff wings? ”

Yan Zheng was so angry that he trembled, Lin Hua was the brother of Aunt Lin who had died, and he was also a gangster, or Aunt Lin begged Yan Zheng for a long time, but Yan Zheng couldn't wipe his face, and arranged an errand for him in the county office, mainly because he was afraid that he would come outside and ruin the reputation of Yanfu. It's just that he never thought that the kid who was picked up by himself at the beginning would bring someone to search for his favorite Qi Niang today.

As if holding his breath in his chest, Yan Zheng almost exploded. Thinking of his actions in Lixiang Garden, Yan Zheng only hoped that his Qi Niang would be smarter and not let the villain take advantage of the loophole.

"It's just that this Lin Hua is so bold today that he dares to bring someone to Yan's Mansion directly", Yan Zheng squinted his eyes, "It seems that the mansion is really not clean."

In fact, Yan Zheng was more worried in his heart, because he was afraid that someone would pass on the cause of Aunt Lin's death to Lin Hua, so the purpose of Lin Hua's coming to Yan's Mansion today was even more complicated. Until now, Yan Zheng also thinks that Aunt Lin was killed by Yan Qiniang, after all, there are human and material evidence, and Yan Zheng can't deny it if he wants to.

For a while, Yan Zheng was also extremely entangled, and he didn't notice the flash of light in Lin Hua's eyes below.

"Mr. Xu, what's going on?"

Manager Xu, who was following behind Yan Qiniang, was stunned when he heard this, and walked forward casually, "Miss, the master asked you to go to the main hall immediately, you better hurry up."

While speaking, everyone had already arrived at the garden, and the main hall was passed through the rockery, but Yan Qiniang suddenly stopped walking, which made Mr. Xu, who was following behind, frown, only to hear Yan Qinniang's voice come slowly, "Mr. Xu, you have been with your father for decades, right?" ”

"Thirty and four years", Manager Xu didn't understand what medicine Yan Qi Niang was selling in his throat, he just wanted to let him go to the main hall quickly, and replied absent-mindedly, but Yan Qi Niang's next sentence was so frightened that he almost jumped.

"For more than 30 years, Mr. Xu's wife and children, and even his grandson are almost on an errand in the house."

Manager Xu's eyes flashed, thinking that he was just dealing with Yan Qi Niang, which did not violate his loyalty to the master, thinking that he could take the opportunity to make a fortune, and also curry favor with the master, and by the way, he could block some more rights, after all, Manager Xu was one of the limited few people who had experienced the events of the year and remained in the mansion, so he naturally knew that Yan Qi Niang's identity was not as noble as it appeared to be.

It's just that now that Yan Qiniang mentioned her children and grandchildren, Manager Xu's cold sweat soaked her back, and her brain was instantly sober. He suddenly realized that no matter what Yan Qiniang's identity was, as long as the master still doted on her, she was the master, and he was a slave.

Manager Xu had the face of the woman who was not like the world back then, and suddenly felt that he thought that this incident would make Yan Zheng disgusted Yan Qi Niang's idea was so stupid.

And I always thought that she was a young lady who didn't know the world in the boudoir, and she was not as stupid as usual, so Mr. Xu bowed his head, "Miss Hui, the slave's grandson only started working on an errand the month before last."

"Hmm......" Yan Qiniang glanced at Manager Xu meaningfully, "You are also an old man in the house, Qi Niang doesn't understand a lot of things, and I hope that Manager Xu can give advice", as she said, Yan Qiniang bowed slightly to Manager Xu.

This salute made Mr. Xu's pupils shrink, "A smart young lady is not terrible, and a young lady who knows how to advance and retreat is not terrible, but a smart young lady who can know how to advance and retreat......" Manager Xu was like being suddenly thrown into an ice cellar in June, and his whole body was cold.

"Miss, you are a slave", Mr. Xu hurriedly returned the salute, bent down and said, "That's the case, a few days ago, the young master of the Wang family sent a little maid to deliver a letter to you, and the lord was happy to send a little maid to guide the way, who knew that after these two people went, there was no news, and I heard that there was a corpse in the river in the morning......"

When Mr. Xu said this, he glanced at Yan Qi Niang, saw that her face was calm, and continued, "I don't know who said that those two went to you before they disappeared, so ......"

"So there's someone in the office?" Yan Qiniang asked rhetorically.

"Yes, Miss is smart, that's exactly what ......"

Yan Qiniang nodded, understanding that the reason why Yan Zheng was so angry today was also for outsiders to see, in fact, it was to ask Douzi to send her a message, "Today's things are unusual", Yan Qiniang can even imagine that Yan Zheng arrived at Lixiang Garden with a smile on his face, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he suddenly made a fierce look and kicked Douzi.

smiled slightly, and said to Mr. Xu, "I know, let's go, go to meet the official master."

"Yes......" I thought that Yan Qiniang would take the opportunity to punish her manager Xu, but I didn't expect Yan Qiniang to pick it up and put it down gently, and her heart sank, but she became more and more respectful to Yan Qiniang.
