Wen's face turned pale, his whole body trembled, and he didn't even dare to walk over. She leaned against the door frame, looked away, and said in a trembling voice: "Bi, Jasper, you go in first and have a look......"

"Yes!"

The personal girl Jasper answered.

Wen covered her eyes, she really didn't dare to think about it, she was afraid of seeing a scene that made her collapse.

Until Biyu called her, "Madame, come on, the eldest lady is here, she's fine......"

It's okay? Wen was in ecstasy, let go of his hand and rushed over, and saw at a glance that on the messy couch, his daughter and Biyue were lying on the couch, sleeping soundly.

Wen: ......

couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, once the heart fell, the anger came up, crossed his hands on his waist, and ordered the girl: "You still don't pull up Biyue's little hooves for me?" ”

The two mothers-in-law stepped forward in response, grabbed Biyue's hair and dragged her out of bed.

Biyue slept soundly, and suddenly was pulled by her hair, which hurt her "ouch", opened her eyes in a daze, and just wanted to scold, she came into contact with Mrs.'s round eyes at a glance, and suddenly woke up from drowsiness. Turning his head to see that the sun had risen high, he jumped up in fright, where did he dare to look at Madame? stammered: "Slave, slave maid go fetch water...... turn around and slip away.

Ye Mengmeng was naturally woken up, she rubbed her eyes, yawned, glanced at Wen, and muttered: "Mother, it's you, why are you waking me up?" I haven't slept enough......"

"Still sleeping?" Wen pulled up her daughter angrily, "You girl, why is your heart so big, there are dead people in the yard, you can still sleep?" ”

Dead person? Ye Mengmeng suddenly woke up, she sat up, and saw Wen sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her, looking worried and angry and hating iron but not steel.

She touched her head and said cautiously: "Mother, who did you hear say that there are dead people in my yard?" ”

"Who else says? The whole Hou Mansion knows about it, and your father and I are in the dark. Hmph, your brother and sister are planning to hide it from us for a long time? Can such a big thing be hidden? ”

Ye Mengmeng hurriedly took her mother's hand and said with a smile: "Mother, don't be angry, my eldest brother and I are also afraid of scaring you, so we ......."

"Confused," Wen poked his daughter's forehead, "Your eldest brother is also getting older and more pedantic, can this kind of thing be covered?" Besides, do you really think that your father's guts are made of flour, and they will crumble when you pinch them? is in a big family, it's complicated, who doesn't die a few people all year round? Don't worry, your mother has seen too much and is not afraid. ”

Ye Mengmeng rubbed her head and smiled wryly, thinking that this is the same.

"Also," Wen scanned the messy house, his brows furrowed higher and higher, and he couldn't help but count his daughter again, "Look at what kind of kennel your yard looks like?" The master is not like the master, the girl is not like the girl, and there are few people in the huge courtyard. Go and see for yourself, in the entire capital, is there a noble lady like you? Which young lady is not a slave and maid, and the embroidery room is like the Heavenly Palace? It's just you, like being abused by your stepmother, and even I look embarrassed. ”

Wen made up his mind while counting down his daughter: "No, Ming'er must pick a dozen slaves and maids for you and fill your yard before stopping." ”

Ye Mengmeng thought to herself, there were not many slaves and maids in her yard, and Mama Li didn't seem to be able to come back, but now that Yuncui is dead, Yundie has run away, and Biyue is the only one left, so she really has to pick a few girls. Immediately nodded obediently: "Okay, mother, my daughter will listen to you." ”

Wen nodded with satisfaction, and said, "In addition to the slaves and maids, it is time to add some guards to the house." Mother and your father have discussed, this afternoon, your father and eldest brother will go to the majestic dart game in the west of the city......"

"Mother, what are you doing in the Mighty Dart Bureau?"

"What else can I do? Of course, it's a dart. Wen gave her daughter a blank look. This terrible thing happened in the house, do you think your father and mother can sit back and relax? Daddy and mother don't worry about anything else, I'm afraid that something will happen to your brothers and sisters. We have a dart master to protect your safety, and we have to rest assured that we have to ......"

"What? Dart master? Ye Mengmeng was speechless directly, "The dart bureau only accepts darts, can you pick up darts?" ”

"Of course, your eldest brother said, the majestic dart bureau is a big dart bureau, not only to receive goods, but also to receive darts, but to receive darts costs more, and it costs five hundred taels of silver to hire a bodyguard a month......"

"What? Five hundred taels? "Ye Mengmeng's eyes are green." Mother, how many bodyguards are you going to hire? ”

"Where's enough for a few? It's not a child's house...... Well, what your father and eldest brother mean is that you will invite twenty first, and then ...... if you are not enough."

"Twenty?" Ye Mengmeng's voice suddenly became louder. "Mother, have you ever calculated an account? A bodyguard costs 500 taels a month, and 20 bodyguards cost 10,000 taels a month. Mother, isn't our family the rich mansion, can we afford to waste it like this? The point is, there is no need to spend this money at all, it is better to spend 10,000 taels of silver to hire bodyguards than to use this silver to buy houses, isn't it much saved? ”

Wen glared at his daughter and said, "Tsk, do you think that only you are smart and can settle accounts?" Daddy is stupid? Didn't your eldest brother say that those assassins were all martial arts masters who could fly off the wall, and that the family was useless? No matter how you say it, the dart master is also a person who knows martial arts, and he has traveled south and north, not much stronger than that Ding? ”

"No, mother, I even refused the bodyguard of the Golden State Mansion, and I have to pay for the dart master of the dart bureau, isn't it funny? Joss will definitely laugh through his belly. No, absolutely not. Ye Mengmeng simply refused.

Wen's fingers almost poked her daughter's nose. "You don't count, hmph, that's what your father meant, but your eldest brother didn't object."

"Big brother, does he dare to object? He is a dutiful son, and he doesn't listen to you. Ye Mengmeng muttered.

"You don't care about it anyway." Wen said, "Now that you are the quasi-crown princess, how noble your status is, seeing that you are about to enter the palace in three months, you will definitely not be able to do anything in these months, if something happens, who can afford this responsibility?" Therefore, Daddy and Mom will ensure your safety even if you don't eat or drink. ”

"......" Ye Mengmeng was speechless, and said angrily, "Since I am the quasi-crown princess, I am a member of the emperor's family, don't I have to worry about the emperor and the prince for my safety, what do you worry about?" ”

A sentence reminded Wen, her eyes lit up, she stared at her daughter sharply, and her heart turned a thought.

At this time, Biyue came in with hot water.

"Miss, wash up."

Ye Mengmeng didn't notice her mother's face, got up and went over to wash, and said, "Mother, you go and tell your father, don't go and ask for any bodyguards, it's useless to invite them." Those dart masters can only do ordinary fist and foot kung fu, and when they meet that kind of martial arts master, they are completely useless, but they give their lives for no reason. ”
