In the Lotus Garden, Du Gongfu, who was resting on the bed in the inner room, had not yet gotten up.

Mrs. Xia was afraid of heat and greedy for cold, so she rested on the couch in the west corner these days, and she opened her eyes when it was bright outside.

Laneige waited for Mrs. Xia to freshen up.

Mrs. Xia sat at the table, drank a cup of warm tea slowly, and said, "Yesterday, when did they come back?" No one came to report it. ”

Lanzhi said with a smile: "A few masters and girls are knowledgeable about etiquette, they must have come back earlier according to the old lady's instructions, and they didn't come to report, they must be worried about the old lady and the old lady's body and bones, and they dare not disturb." ”

Old Lady Xia snorted lightly.

Laneige invited the lady of the Zheng family who combed Mrs. Xia's hair to come in, turned around and retreated, walked quickly to the gatehouse, and said in a suppressed voice: "Did the person who went to the second door to ask questions come back?" What time has it been! ”

Hu Pozi, who was guarding the door, smiled and said, "Girl, people are already running, you wait." ”

Laneige shook her head helplessly.

She wasn't on duty last night, so she rested early, and when she got up early this morning, she realized that no one had reported from Miao's there last night, and she couldn't help but wonder.

According to the rules, when the girls came back from outside the house, someone would definitely come to the Lianfu Garden to report it, that is, it was not good to alarm the old lady and the old lady at night, and there would definitely be news in the concierge.

Zhongyuan put on the lights, no matter how late he came back, at most he was more than half of the second watch and before the third watch in the house, the mother-in-law who guarded the door didn't sleep for the first half of the night, Miao knew the rules, how could he ignore it.

Lanzhi muttered in his heart, but after thinking about it, it was good that he didn't come to report the news, at least, there must have been nothing serious, otherwise, it would be the fourth watch, and he wouldn't dare to hide it from Mrs. Xia.

It's just that Laneige still vaguely feels inappropriate in his heart.

Considering Miao's calculating nature, she did not rashly ask people to inquire about Shuifuyuan and Anfeng Courtyard, but went directly to Ermen.

Laneige couldn't leave Mrs. Xia's side for too long, and said in a deep voice: "If you have news, hurry up and tell me, I'll go and serve first." ”

Entering the main room, the nervousness and indescribable uneasiness were completely concealed, Laneige walked to Mrs. Xia with a smile and said: "The lady combed this hair today is really temperamental, wearing the turquoise Shu brocade pattern of the forehead, with the enamel bottom inlaid jade collar buckle, it is really energetic." ”

Mrs. Xia laughed and looked back and forth in the mirror: "Your mouth is more clever than Yancui's hands." I've got gray hair, and you say I'm in good spirits. ”

When the lady of the Zheng family used to be a maid next to Mrs. Xia, her name was Yancui, and later she was promised to the Zheng family.

A few people laughed a few words, and Laneige had something in his heart, and he was a little worried.

Old Mrs. Xia was keen, and looked in her eyes: "What's wrong?" ”

Lanzhi was stunned and said with a smile: "The slave is thinking, I don't know if the old lady is awake, at this time, it's time to get up." ”

"There is no shortage of waiters around him," Mrs. Xia waved her hand and said, "You can help me go to the east for a while, and in a while, all of them should come." ”

Laneige answered.

Helping Mrs. Xia out of the west room, when passing through the middle room, Lanzhi caught a glimpse of the bamboo curtain being picked up, and a panicked face flashed outside, it was the Hu Pozi, her heart tightened, and she entered the east room, served Mrs. Xia to sit on the Luohan bed, and then found a reason to come out.

"But here's the question?" Laneige said eagerly.

With a blue face, Mrs. Hu grabbed Lanzhi's wrist: "Girl, it was said on the second door that yesterday several masters and girls entered the mansion at the second watch. ”

"It's not early, but it's not like I won't report it." Laneige muttered.

"Oh, you have to have the courage to report it." Hu Pozi stomped her feet.

Laneige's heart skipped a beat, and his face sank: "Explain it quickly." ”

"I heard, I heard, I overturned the river lamp, the sleeves of the third girl burned, and the fourth girl's head was ......" Mrs. Hu said halfway, and suddenly screamed, looked down at the wrist that was clasped tightly by Laneige, and tears of pain broke out, "Girl, good girl, it can be lighter." ”

Laneige let go tremblingly and took a few deep breaths: "Are you sure?" ”

"Yes, that's what I said." Hu Pozi lowered her head and rubbed her wrist secretly.

Lanzhi raised his hand and slapped it twice on his forehead, since such words came out, whether it was true or not, Mrs. Xia couldn't hide it.

In the east, Mrs. Xia was talking to the lady of the Zheng family with a smile, and when she saw Lanzhi coming in with a stiff face, she couldn't help but look at her twice.

"Old lady," Laneige bowed her head and said, "Last night, no one came to the porter to report the news, and the slave and maid thought it was strange, so they sent someone to the second door to ask, and the second door said, "......"

"Say what?" Old Lady Xia's smile froze, she sat up slightly straight, and asked word by word.

"The river lantern overturned, the third girl burned her sleeves, and the fourth girl burned her hair." Laneige said in a trembling voice.

Knock knock!

Lanzhi followed the prestige, and at a glance saw Du Gongfu's hand-rubbing walnuts rolled to the corner of the table, she shrunk her neck, raised her head timidly, and met Du Gongfu's eyes that came out of the inner room.

Mrs. Xia slammed the bed board of Luohan and shouted, "Go, call people to me!" ”

When Du Yunluo entered the Lotus Garden, she happened to meet a few mothers-in-law who hurried away, and she knew that Mrs. Xia must know what was going on.

Although yesterday's disaster had nothing to do with her, Du Gongfu and Mrs. Xia were angry, so it was better to hold their tails so as not to catch fire.

Du Yunluo didn't go straight in, and waited for Du Yunru and Zhen outside the courtyard gate.

Zhen had already heard about it from Jin Ling, and pulled Du Yunluo and said, "It's a shame that you two didn't go, otherwise, you would really scare your mother to death." It's Yun Di, involved in it, hey! ”

For Du Yundi, Du Yunluo was not so worried.

In five or six days, Du Yundi will go back to the academy, and Du Gongfu will scold or punish him, and it will only take a few days.

As for the beating, it is impossible for Du Yundi to go back with injuries, and even if Du Gongfu wants to fight, he will not be ruthless.

After a few words of relief, the mother and daughter went in together.

In the east room, it was terrifyingly quiet, Du Gongfu and Mrs. Xia sat on the Luohan bed, with a gloomy face and did not speak.

After waiting for two quarters of an hour, Miao led Du Yunying to come.

At a rough glance, there was nothing wrong with Du Yunying, but Du Yunluo's eyes were sharp, and Du Yunying's fingers in the cuffs were clearly flushed.

Miao pursed his lips, and Fu Shen wanted to speak, but he only called "old lady", and asked Mrs. Xia to interrupt with a cold look, so she could only stand aside.

Liao and Du Yunnuo came in, and Mrs. Xia looked at Du Yunnuo, who had a completely different hairstyle from her usual hairstyle, and shouted, "Kneel!" ”

Du Yunnuo was already flustered, and when he heard the sound, he could still stand, and knelt on the ground.

Du Yunying knew that she couldn't escape, so she simply fell to her knees.

When Miao and Liao knelt together, Zhen was not easy to sit, and when she thought of Du Yundi, she also knelt down.
