She was dressed in green clothes and was busy, but she wiped her eyes with her sleeves from time to time, as if she was crying, but she didn't.

Hearing Xiao Yuan's shout, she immediately stopped what she was doing, then sniffled, adjusted her mentality, and hurriedly greeted her, put her hand on her waist, and gave a salute: "My lord." ”

Although she had tried her best to adjust, her voice was still a little choked with uncontrollable choking.

That's the reaction after crying.

Xiao Yuan glanced at her, and under her beautiful appearance, her eyes were slightly red.

This kind of thing, on other women, I'm afraid it's far worse than her! She was calm enough to behave like this.

There is no doubt that she has a kind of respect and gratitude for Xiao Yuan, and now that she finally has a place to live, she was found by assassins and forced her to kill Xiao Yuan, her mood can be imagined.

After looking at it, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but sigh secretly, then smiled and said casually, "I bought so many things today?" ”

"Hmm." Chu Ning nodded lightly and said: "The slaves and maids that are to be used in the house have been purchased, and in the future, my lord, it is time to recruit more maids, and those sergeants are all rude." ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"In the future, I am afraid that the slave will no longer be able to serve the adult."

Chu Ning said, without waiting for Xiao Yuan to respond, she had already raised her head again, looked at Xiao Yuan, and said directly: "When I went out today, an assassin came to me, gave me poison, and asked me to put it in the adult's tea, they wanted to kill the adult's life!" ”

Her eyes were red and there were tears glistening.

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a warm heart, because he knew about it, and he thought that Chu Ning would choose to poison him when he was forced to do so, but he didn't expect her to say it so directly.

The huge amount of gold, and her own life, did not shake her.

This is really a strange woman.

Xiao Yuan didn't speak quietly, and Chu Ning continued: "My lord, the assassin promised that after the matter is completed, he will wait for me in the City God Temple. ”

Xiao Yuan didn't answer this question, but asked rhetorically, "You should also be poisoned, right?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Ning was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head slightly.

"Then why are you telling me? Do you want your own life? Xiao Yuan asked again.

"The life of an adult is more important than the life of a slave."

She only said a simple sentence, without any pretentiousness, and after finishing speaking, she hurriedly said: "My lord, you better quickly arrange, catch the assassin, and ask the culprit." ”

Such a handmaiden, who does not want.

It's really a treasure, okay?

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he smiled comfortably, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't worry, Xiao Ning, you come with me." ”

Overjoyed, unconsciously, he even changed his name.

When Chu Ning heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned and said, "My lord......"

"Come, follow me." Xiao Yuan added again, and also turned around and left here.

Chu Ning had no choice but to follow.

Not long after, he had already taken Chu Ning to the meeting hall, at this time, the medical officer was still busy, tinkering with bottles and cans, after seeing Xiao Yuan, the latter temporarily stopped what he was doing, and hurriedly saluted: "My lord." ”

Xiao Yuan waved his hand and asked directly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Most of the porcelain vases that adults gave before are highly poisonous, but there is also a cool thing, which happens to be the antidote to some kind of poison." The Medic returned.

As he spoke, he also poured out a pill, put it in his palm, and presented it to Xiao Yuan, while explaining: "This is poison." ”

Then, another pill was poured out of another small porcelain bottle: "This happens to be the antidote to it." ”

"Oh?" After hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately turned sideways, looked at Chu Ning behind him, and called, "Xiao Ning, come here." ”

Chu Ning didn't know what the situation was, but Xiao Yuan had an order, how could she hesitate, and when she heard the words, she also walked over: "My lord." ”

Xiao Yuan pointed to the poison: "Let's see if this poison was forced to eat by the assassins before." ”

Chu Ning didn't care about it at first, but when she fixed her eyes, her eyes immediately widened, and she exclaimed, "My lord, it's this poison!" ”

"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded, and then said to the medical officer, "Hurry up and help Miss Chu take a look." ”

"Yes." The medical officer answered, then asked Chu Ning to sit down, first asked, and then put his hand on his wrist to start checking the pulse.

After a while, he nodded slowly, withdrew his hand and said, "Miss Chu is indeed poisoned, and her symptoms just correspond to this poison." ”

"Oh? So, just take this antidote? Xiao Yuan's spirit was shocked.

"Yes, sir." The Medic returned.

"The medicine is fine, right? Don't go wrong. Xiao Yuan added uneasily.

"Rest assured, there is absolutely no problem, the so-called right medicine, this antidote is the antidote to this poison." The medical officer said with an oath, and then poured out an antidote and handed it to Chu Ning.

The latter took it and did not take it immediately, but subconsciously looked at Xiao Yuan.

Although there is nothing in this small action, it is not difficult to see from it that she trusts Xiao Yuan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan nodded slightly and gestured to her.

Chu Ning no longer hesitated, and directly ate the antidote.

After a while, the medical officer checked the pulse again: "En...... This antidote is poisoning this, and after taking it, the effect is quite good, and Miss Chu only needs to rest for one night, and it will be fine. ”

The assassin had an antidote on his body, which was reasonable, Xiao Yuan was also relieved when he heard this, and the medical officer had already packed up his things, and saluted Xiao Yuan and said, "My lord, if there is nothing else, then the official will retire first." ”

The medical officer can be regarded as a public official of the state government, so he calls himself a subordinate official, Xiao Yuan also nodded and said: "Well, later, this official will have a reward." ”

Hearing this, the medical officer was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Oh, my lord is too polite, these are what the lower officials should do." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yuan waved his hand and said, "I've worked hard for you this time, so let's step down." ”

"Yes, the next official will retire."

After he left, Chu Ning also showed a look of joy on his face, and couldn't help but say, "My lord, is the slave all right?" ”

"Well, it's okay, it's all over."

"Thank you, thank you, your lord!" Things changed a little too fast, and Chu Ning almost cried with joy.

"I should thank you."

Xiao Yuan glanced at her with a smile, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Xiao Ning, are you literate?" ”

I don't understand why he suddenly asked this, Chu Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head slightly, then lowered his head, and whispered: "The slave maid has been poor since she was a child, and she is a woman, so she can't read. ”

What she said was the truth at that time, that there were very few literate men in the village, let alone women, and that there was a huge difference in the status of men and women at that time.

After listening to this, Xiao Yuan first pondered for a while, and then said: "It's okay, you said before that the house needs to recruit more people, this matter really has to be done, in the future, you will be the housekeeper, servant and maid in the house, etc., all need you to manage, and many trivial matters in the house also need you to manage, I am afraid it will be hard for you." ”

"What?" When Chu Ning heard this, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she raised her head and said incredulously: "My lord, aren't you joking with the slave, right, housekeeper!?" ”

"What? Isn't it possible? Xiao Yuan asked rhetorically.

"I ...... I ......" Chu Ning stammered, not knowing what to say, his appearance, not to mention how nervous he was.

What's wrong with the housekeeper, once this matter passes, Chu Ning is enough to gain Xiao Yuan's trust, and he also believes that Chu Ning can do a good job as a housekeeper.

As for literacy, although Xiao Yuan mentioned it casually, there was no doubt that Chu Ning remembered it deeply, and in the future, whenever she had time, she would also start to ask Mr. Chengnei for advice.
