Half an hour later.

The woman rode to the opposite side of a mansion in the suburbs.

There was a big tree opposite the mansion, and a woman in black stood by the tree, and saw the woman on horseback from a distance, with a happy face. Before the woman on the horse could dismount, she hurried up to salute her.

"The slave and maid welcome the county lord back to his home."

When the woman in black spoke, the woman had already dismounted.

The woman in black hurriedly reached out and took the reins that the woman had handed her, and led the horse to the stable.

The woman known as the "county lord" walked a few steps before she asked the woman in black who was leading the horse: "Qiao Rong, has the sixth prince returned to the house?" ”

Qiao Rong shook her head slightly, and said, "Back to the county lord, the sixth prince has not returned to the house." She paused for a few seconds before she said in a very soft voice:

"But today, there is indeed a distinguished guest in the house, and it is Master Yun who has returned to Yancheng and came to talk to the master about things. Master Yun and Master Yun sat in the private room drinking tea and chatting. When the lady saw the master's friend coming, she was very happy in her heart, and she went to cook the dishes herself. ”

When the woman known as the "county lord" heard this, her eyes couldn't help but pass through a strange joy.

I don't know if this Qiao Rong really doesn't understand, or pretends not to understand. Madame went to cook the dishes herself, not to cook for the naughty Shuo'er. This Qiao Rong actually told her that the sixth prince had not returned.

The woman who was called the county lord smiled happily and said:

"It's nice that my sister-in-law cooked the dishes herself. I'm so blessed. You go and feed me the horses, and when they're fed, put them in the stables. Last night, I went to the city to watch the fireworks, but I couldn't take care of the horses. ”

Qiao Rong listened, and replied with a smile:

"Yes, Lord Shire. The slave and maid will do it. ”

The woman known as the "county lord" reached out and brushed the hem of her skirt, and walked into a quaint hall with cheerful steps.

Several women in lilac dresses stepped forward to greet the women.

"Welcome back to the county lord."

"No courtesy." The woman known as the "county lord" raised her hand slightly and said.

One of the women, after saluting, quietly went into the kitchen and said to the woman who was busy working by the stove, "Madam, the lord of Xinning has returned!" ”

The woman's face was delighted, and she took the spatula in her hand to stir-fry, and did not look at the woman, but commanded:

"Hurry up and bring out those chrysanthemum wines sent by Mr. Yun, so that they can be taken out for the county lord of Xinning to taste. She has been out for so long, and she hasn't drunk the chrysanthemum wine that Mr. Yun brewed this year. ”

"Yes, ma'am."

The woman answered and hurried out.

As if the woman remembered something, she immediately called out to the woman who had just run out: "Lingyan, wait! ”

As soon as Lingyan heard that her wife was calling her, she hurriedly ran back, entered the kitchen, and asked her with a smile, "......"

"Lord Xinning came back alone?" The woman asked.

"Back to Mrs., the slave maid really only saw the Xinning County Lord alone." Lingyan said with a smile.

"Has the sixth prince come back?"

The woman's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she asked.

Lingyan shook her head slightly, and said truthfully: "The sixth prince hasn't come back yet." ”

The woman said helplessly: "He is about to get married, and he wants to run out all day long, just like before." If it goes on like this, see who dares to marry his daughter to him. ”

Lingyan almost couldn't hold back her laughter, hid her face with her sleeves, and took two steps back before turning to leave the kitchen.

As soon as Lingyan returned to the living room, she happened to hear the county lord of Xinning asking Qiao Rong about something related to the sixth son.

Qiao Rong just said:

"County master, the slave really doesn't know where the sixth son has gone. However, the slave knows where the Seventh Prince and the Niu Gongzi have gone. ”

The seventh prince and the cow boy are very obedient, so they will not be like the sixth son, which is not worry-free. As soon as the county lord of Xinning thought of this, he calmly put down the teacup and said to Qiao Rong:

"Then you go and invite the Seventh Prince and Niu Gongzi here, and say, I have something to find them."

Qiao Rong agreed very obediently.

A moment later.

Lu Jingxiao and Niu Kelian took Qiao Rong back to the living room, and they both saluted and greeted the lord of Xinning County.

The county lord of Xinning smiled happily, these two juniors are indeed much better behaved than Shuo'er's juniors. Thinking that Shuo'er still called a woman a lady today, she didn't know that woman yet.

So, let all the maids retreat, leaving only her, Lu Jingxiao, and Niu Kelian in the living room.

Lord Xinning asked:

“…… I think that the girl who followed Shuo'er should be the girl from the Lin family you mentioned to me in the letter you wrote to me, Lin Yue, right? ”

Prior to this, the county lord of Xinning had received a letter from Lu Jingxiao and the three of them to her. She looked at them all, and replied in a timely manner.

She remembered very clearly that in the letters that the three of them wrote to her, they all mentioned a woman named Lin Yue, saying that the woman had been victimized by Liu Yunmo and them.

She was impressed.

Thinking that Lin Yue was also not easy, she took advantage of her to return to Yancheng at this time, so she wanted to find an opportunity to talk to the emperor and severely punish Liu Yunmo and them.

Lu Jingxiao and Niu Kelian glanced at each other, meaning that in front of their elder Xinning County Lord, they still told the truth.

This elder is not easy to mess with, and if he lies in front of her, he will be beaten.

Niu Kelian was older than Lu Jingxiao, so he took the initiative to tell the lord of Xinning County:

“…… When we were in Qinhe County, Brother Jing Shuo called that Lin Yue Ah Yue, and she also called Brother Jing Shuo Ah Jing. Brother Jing Shuo brought Lin Yue out this time, and we all know it. ”

Lu Jingxiao only heard that Niu Kelian said more clearly, so he didn't add anything.

When it was almost time for lunch, the county lord of Xinning still didn't wait for Lu Jingshuo to come back, she looked at the delicacies on the table, and suddenly felt that she was even hungrier.

I still drank a bowl of chrysanthemum syrup in the morning, and my chest was pressed against my back when I was hungry, but that Shuo'er still didn't come back.

The county lord of Xinning whispered to her cousin-in-law:

"Sister-in-law......"

When the woman heard this, she looked at Lu Jingxiao and Niu Kelian with a smile, and said, "Xiao'er, Kelian, you go and get Shuo'er back." I told him that if he didn't come back, we wouldn't help him think about his marriage with the daughter of Shangshufu anymore......"

As soon as Lu Jingxiao and Niu Kelian heard this, they were frightened and didn't say a word, they quickly stood up and walked out of the hall, and when they came out, they ran to the stable to find the horses.

They rode to Lu Jingshuo's mansion in the suburbs, and when they arrived, they found Lu Jingshuo and Lin Yue barbecuing meat in the yard.

As soon as they smelled the smell of wine and meat, Lu Jingxiao and Niu Kelian listened to Lu Jingshuo's words and stayed to accompany Lu Jingshuo and them to eat barbecue and drink wine. As for taking Lu Jingshuo home for dinner, they had long been left behind.

The other side.

The county lord of Xinning waited for half an hour, and he didn't wait for the juniors to come back for dinner. She said to her cousin and sister-in-law:

"Let's eat first, those bastards must have something delicious, and they won't come back for the time being."

Yun Jin snickered and said to the county lord of Xinning: "Jing'er, look, you should always believe me now, right?" ”

Before that, he had told the county lord of Xinning that Shuo'er and the three of them were not honest people, they were all the same disobedient people. But the county lord of Xinning just didn't believe it, so he had to be prejudiced against Shuo'er, thinking that Shuo'er was not well-behaved, but Xiao'er and Ke Lian were very sensible.

This time, in front of the facts, he wants to see, what else can the county lord of Xinning say?
