Chapter 278 Clarified
After a while, it began to snow heavily. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Xiaonuan stepped on the stacks of straw that were piled high, and cut a big hole in the corner of the roof against the back wall. The snowflakes drifted in along the gap.
Li Xiaonuan looked at the opening that she had taken a lot of effort to open, and suddenly thought about it.
But now is not a good time to escape. At the very least, you have to wait until the whole family is full of food and the body is hot before you can actually run away.
After all, all of them in a family of four, except for Li Xiaonuan who has boots on his feet, the others are only wearing cotton socks.
Besides, it is not necessary to have the strength to run when you are full.
The scoop used to hold the beans was very dirty, so Li Xiaonuan had to grab a few handfuls of snow on the roof, put it in the scoop to burn and melt, and then clean it.
When Li Xiaonuan washed the scoop and boiled a large scoop of water for Li Dad and them to drink, the door of the forage room was opened.
Li Xiaonuan quietly hid the scoop filled with water in the haystack, and looked at the housekeeper's wife and the other two mothers-in-law standing at the door.
"Madam, you see they are actually warming themselves by the fire." A mother-in-law with hanging eyes and thin lips and a mean appearance immediately said to the housekeeper's wife standing at the door.
"Got a fire? No wonder. How do they light the forage? Chang Mom, you hurry up and go in and put out the fire for me. The housekeeper ordered.
The mean-looking mother-in-law was ordered to come in, and of course, a wooden basin of water was served.
When the mother-in-law walked in, Li Xiaonuan pulled the family away from the fire.
The mother-in-law put a basin of water with ice slag and spilled the fire that had finally burned vigorously.
The hay house, which had only a trace of heating just now, instantly became cold again.
"Hmph, if you hide quickly, I'll have to pour this basin of water on you." After the woman finished pouring water, she walked out proudly.
"Mother Zheng, you take the two boys in and invite that Li girl out for questioning." The housekeeper's wife ordered.
Not long after, another woman with facial paralysis walked in with two little family members.
Without their hands, Li Xiaonuan walked out by himself. She wondered what the butler's wife wanted to do.
Because it was snowing heavily, the housekeeper's wife was standing under the eaves.
Li Xiaonuan looked around and felt that the snowflakes in the sky were extremely pleasant. If it weren't for the fact that this situation was wrong, Li Xiaonuan would have wanted to fly out and enjoy the snow scene.
I wasn't feeling cold in the house just now. This time he went outside, the north wind was howling and blowing, and Li Xiaonuan, who was only wearing a thin cotton jacket, couldn't stand it.
But the housekeeper's wife was wearing a mink fur, holding the hand warmer, and quietly looked at Li Xiaonuan without saying a word.
Seeing that he was about to shake into chaff, Li Xiaonuan paced impatiently. She didn't want to be treated so coldly and violently.
There is no need for the housekeeper's wife who is holding the shelf to ask, Li Xiaonuan also knows what people want to know.
"This housekeeper mother, did you want to come out with me to enjoy the snow? If that's the case, then I'm not going to be with you. I am a small peasant girl, and I have no leisure to enjoy the scenery with my subordinates. Li Xiaonuan deliberately bit the words "the housekeeper's mother and the subordinate slave very hard.
After listening to what Li Xiaonuan said, the housekeeper's face really changed greatly.
Mrs. Housekeeper knew in her heart that their family was now a lowest-ranking minion, and they were even lower than ordinary people like Li Xiaonuan.
That's why the housekeeper and the housekeeper's wife are so anxious to get rid of this slave status now.
In the past, the housekeeper did not ask the prince and the princess. Although the two of them were the most amiable on their faces, neither of them let go of the housekeeper's family.
Finally, through this chaos, the housekeeper's family had a different heart.
When King Jing's family was still detained in the palace, they agreed to that person's request without much thought.
Therefore, what the housekeeper's family is doing now is to cooperate with that person and find a way to overthrow the Eagle King's dynasty.
After that, it was the man who made good on his promise and let their family leave the country in the open.
After leaving the country, it is a reward for meritorious deeds. They have done so many things, they will definitely be made officials.
But that's only for later. Now, the housekeeper's family is indeed a subordinate, a slave.
"Hmph, and I'll make you proud for a while. Miss Li, for the sake of me taking care of your family these days, you should obediently take out your things. Although the housekeeper's wife was angry, she maintained a calm face and said.
"Something? What is it? Mother, do you really think that I stole the recipe for the fragrant pancreas? Li Xiaonuan pretended to be stupid.
"Miss Li, for the sake of your ability, I respect you. But if you don't want to cooperate, then it's no wonder we're ruthless. Mrs. Butler threatened.
The housekeeper's wife was a somewhat bloated middle-aged woman with fair skin and a round and high face. It looks a little kind.
It's just that her heart is as evil as her teeth.
The lady's teeth were funny. It's okay if it's uneven, it's still a mouthful of rotten teeth.
Compared with the big yellow teeth, the butler's wife's rotten teeth made people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
Fortunately, the housekeeper's wife is not bad in shape and appearance, and will be able to choose to ignore her rotten teeth.
Of course, that would have to happen if she didn't speak, or smile without showing her teeth.
Li Xiaonuan shuddered, turned her head to stare at the white snow and asked, "This mother, if you don't explain it, who will know what you want." Besides, I had already taken everything from me when you searched my body. Didn't you see it at the time? ”
The housekeeper's wife saw that Li Xiaonuan looked like she didn't eat oil and salt, so she changed her statement.
"Miss Li, then let's stop talking darkly. What I want is all the artwork you gave to King Jing before. I'm sure you have a copy of all those things. All you have to do is hand over those things, and I promise to say a few nice words for you in front of your nobles. ”
"Ah~" Li Xiaonuan suddenly realized, "It turns out that you want a nautical chart." Earlier. If you had said it earlier, I would have brought the drawing. ”
The housekeeper's wife was a little looking forward to it when Li Xiaonuan was making a noise. But after listening to Li Xiaonuan's words, she raised her eyebrows again.
"Miss Li, I believe you are a smart girl. So, please stop playing dumb. You know, what I need is what you gave to the prince when you were in the other courtyard. "Madame Butler's voice is a bit high.
"Mom, may I ask you, do you want the secret recipe for pancreas, or do you want the manuscript for the crystal telescope?" Li Xiaonuan had no choice but to take out these two things on the bright side to make up the numbers.
Because she was so cold, she was shaking and couldn't even speak clearly.
"This mother, I can't stand the cold. As I think you know, our family lives in the south, and we can't afford the hard winds of the north. If I can't stand it now, you'll be able to get what you want. Li Xiaonuan plans to gamble.
At the very least, she had to get some warm clothes first. That way, when the family escapes, they don't have to be cold. (To be continued.) )
