Chapter 37: The So-called 'Killing Two Birds with One Stone' (1)

Xiao Lu got Xia Mengran's words, quietly took a few steps back, and walked back on the way to and fro. All the way to Xia Mengran's Xie Xiang Garden, Xiao Lu met the seventh aunt Ning who was walking in the garden next to her.

Ning's recent spring breeze is also proud, since that day's incident, Xia Chuanyuan has been staying in her house every day, Fang's family doesn't dare to offend Xia Chuanyuan anymore, even the Xie family is as if it can't be seen, this time it can be proud of this Ning's family, after a few days, he took Qiao up, and when he saw everyone, he had a lofty posture, as if he was already the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, this favor only lasted until the birthday banquet, before the birthday banquet, Xia Chuanyuan still favored her, Fang's health was ill, so he handed over the matter of running the birthday banquet to her, for a while, Ning's was also in the limelight among the housekeeper's mother, but this good luck can't always be there, there was a foreign man at the birthday banquet, which not only made the eldest lady lose face, but also made Xia Chuanyuan a laughing stock among colleagues, raising such a daughter, it is really embarrassing.

The birthday banquet organized by the Ning family, Xia Chuanyuan naturally blamed her, and the Ning family didn't dare to say a word to Xia Chuanyuan, for fear that it was the maids around the Ning family, and I was afraid that there would be no good life in the future

Xiao Lu has been by Xia Mengran's side for a long time, she was originally a capable maid promoted by the fifth aunt Wei, and now she is by Xia Mengran's side, so she is naturally a first-class personal maid.

Xiao Lu hid behind a big tree in the Xie Xiang Garden, and saw clearly the figures of the Ning family and the maids who were about to go out, so he took the burden that had been prepared on the side and hugged it in his arms, pretending to be in a hurry, and walked out quickly with his head down.

Ning was angry, and he was hit by someone coldly, and immediately like a fried pot, "Where did you come from, who doesn't know whether you live or die, can't you walk with long eyes?" ”

Midori was also knocked to the ground, ignoring nothing else, and hurriedly packed up the things scattered on the ground.

Seeing that this little girl didn't even reply to herself, Ning couldn't help but be even more angry, and said to Mother Wang beside her: "Tie up this little slut for me." ”

Xiao Lu seemed to feel the danger at this time, and hurriedly straightened her body and knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Aunt Seven, the slave maid doesn't dare, you have a lot of adults, just forgive the slave and maid this time." ”

Ning's face was stunned, and he immediately opened his mouth in confusion, "Are you Xiaolu?" The maid next to Miss Five? Xiao Lu nodded hurriedly, Ning fiddled with his fingernails, and wrote lightly: "Where are you going in such a hurry?" Xiao Lu was asked correctly, and he didn't dare to answer, but he hugged the burden in his arms more and more.

Ning narrowed his eyes, looked at Xiao Lu's demeanor and movements carefully, and became more and more sure that there must be a ghost in it, so he spoke: "What is it that you are holding in your arms?" Xiao Lu didn't speak, just knelt on the ground and shivered, biting her lip with her teeth, and her face gradually turned pale.

Ning Shi looked at her appearance, and the conjecture in his heart became more and more reliable, so he said: "Seeing that you are such a treasure, and you are in a hurry, it is not that you stole the jewelry and treasures of the fifth lady and want to take them out of the house to sell." ”

Xiao Lu hurriedly shook his head, but Ning felt that there must be a ghost in it, so he said to Mother Wang beside him: "Take out her baggage." ”

A few maids stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Lu, and Mother Wang easily took out the baggage, Ning squinted at it, and said, "Open it." ”

Mother Wang opened the burden three times and two times, but there was nothing else in the baggage, just a thing wrapped up by Juanpa, Ning took it, reached out to uncover Juanpa, and it was a paper bag, and then opened it, and some white powder appeared in the paper bag.

Ning was puzzled and asked Lu'er, "What is this, why are you sneaking around?" ”

When Lu'er saw that something had been taken out, she knelt on the ground and cried, silently.

Ning Shi thought about it, and felt that there must be something in it that he didn't know, maybe it was still a big thing, so he immediately said with a cold face: "Don't you say that I have a way, when I take this thing to the hospital to ask the doctor, I will know everything." ”

Xiao Lu raised her head and looked at Ning with teary eyes, "Fifth aunt, don't, the slave said, the slave said." ”

Said, sobbing and said: "Today, the maid Biyi sister next to the eldest lady has an uncomfortable stomach, and it just so happens that the slave maid is beside the eldest lady, and the eldest lady sent the slave maid to her house to get a piece of clothing, when the slave maid went to get the clothes, she saw that there was some white powder on the floor of the room, and she was just curious at the moment, so she wrapped it in paper and returned to the banquet, the eldest lady was suddenly stunned, and it was completely different from before, the slave and maid thought about it, so she told the fifth lady, the fifth lady was kind by nature, and did not want to cause too many things, So he asked the slave to dispose of the powder quietly. ”

After listening to this, Ning's heart couldn't help but be happy, today's events had made the master's attitude towards himself change, and he was doubting, how did the eldest lady seem to have completely changed as a person, it turned out that someone was secretly killing her, thinking of this, Ning's heart couldn't help but get excited, the eldest lady went crazy, who would be the most proud, the answer was about to come out, Ning pinched his palm, pretended to pick up the burden and said: "That's it, I just want to go to Yilan Garden, I will tell the lord and Mrs. 1510 about this burden, You stand down. ”

Xiao Lu was secretly happy in her heart, but she still looked anxious on her face, "No, if the master and the lady know that it was the slave and the maid who put things away, the slave and maid will die." Ning waved his hand, handed the burden to Mother Wang on the side, and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I won't tell the lord and the lady, you just don't know what to do." ”

Midori hesitated, but nodded heavily.

"Alright, you can step aside." Ning lowered his eyes and said, Xiao Lu hurriedly kowtowed and retreated, Ning looked at her figure running away, and smiled slightly in his heart, as soon as this matter was made public, it not only helped You'er get rid of Xia Mengning's rival, but also won the favor of Mrs. and the master, it was really a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Ning couldn't help but frown, stretched out his hand to help the golden hairpin on his hair, and shook the fan in his hand and walked towards Yilan Garden.

After talking to Xia Mengran, Xia Mengning knew that Xia Mengran must be angry, and there was a triumphant smile on her face, Zhu Lian looked at it and asked puzzledly, "Miss, what did the fifth miss mean just now, why can't the slave and maid understand it at all." ”

Xia Mengning smiled, shook the colorful cloud chasing moon fan in his hand, attached it to Zhulian's ear, and whispered for a while.

The expression on Zhu Lian's face kept changing, suddenly nervous and relaxed, until finally, after Xia Mengning finished talking about what happened, Zhu Lian suddenly realized.

"So, Miss Five, she ......" Zhu Lian just wanted to speak, Xia Mengning hurriedly covered her mouth, put her index finger between her lips, shook her head and said: "Daredevil, say it so loudly, are you afraid that others will not know?" ”

Zhu Lian also hurriedly covered her mouth and nodded at Xia Mengning.

Xia Mengning smiled, shook the fan in his hand and said, "Now, let's also be that fisherman, watch this sandpiper and clam fight, and also avenge my previous bullying by them." ”

Zhu Lian nodded, Xia Mengning at this moment was completely different in her eyes, before, Xia Mengning was kind-hearted, very good to slaves and maids, never scolded, but also because of her kindness and simplicity, she was always used, even Fu's mother, an old slave, often bullied her, and now Miss seems to have completely changed a person, no longer bullied, when others ridicule her, she can also return it quietly, and she has made the eldest lady and the eldest lady deflated several times, and now, even the prince of Dingxi is interested in the young lady, Zhu Lian is really happy in her heart, a good person like Miss should be matched by the prince of Dingxi.

Xia Mengning took Zhulian's hand and walked into Yilan Garden, as soon as she entered, she saw several eyed maids standing at the door, although the door was not closed, it made people dare not approach easily.

Could it be that you called your mother's family again? Xia Mengning thought in her heart and walked in first.

A maid in a peach-colored shirt hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xia Mengning, and Zhu Lian hurriedly stepped forward and said sharply: "Where did you come from, the girl who doesn't have long eyes, this is the third lady in the house, don't get out of here." ”

The maid in pink clothes looked at Xia Mengning, but the latter was smiling, and the maid in apricot yellow clothes standing next to her stepped forward and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the third young lady, the slave maid has overpassed, but my wife is in the back room, I'm afraid it is inconvenient to receive the third miss, the third miss, please go back." ”

Although he was polite and thoughtful in his speech, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows still had a haughty and disdainful attitude, especially the last sentence, which actually pushed Zhu Lian out a few steps one after another.

Xia Mengning had no waves on her face, she just took a step forward, Zhu Lian hurriedly stepped forward and followed Xia Mengning in annoyance, Xia Mengning held a fan in one hand, put it in front of her with the other, the corners of her eyes were crooked, and she said softly: "Good dogs don't get in the way." ”

Just this sentence made the two maids in front of them blush, and the peach-clothed maid couldn't help but say indignantly: "Who do you say is a dog?" ”

Xia Mengning covered her lips and smiled, not making a sound, but taking another step inside.

Fang's thought in his heart, how could he not understand, at this moment, those concubines should have been in the back room for a long time, and when their father came after a while, they would sue themselves in front of their father, the mother was sick, but the daughter did not come to visit, Xia Meng thought about it, and sighed slightly in her heart, Fang's family, Fang's family, should I say stupid or stupid. Today's events are all arranged by me, just waiting to see your good end, how can I miss this good show, but now, Xia Mengning's ears moved slightly, and he rolled his eyes, and his cunning and agile eyes instantly burst out with a different look.

"Get out of the way!" A cold voice, with a tone that could not be disobeyed.

The maid in the peach-colored shirt did not retreat, standing there straight, Xia Mengning walked forward, and was pushed back fiercely.

With the flip of his palm, Xia Mengning was lucky enough to protect his body before he fell to the ground, and then fell from the high steps.

"Miss!" Zhu Lian was stunned, and hurriedly ran down to hug Xia Mengning, after Xia Mengning fell, she rolled on the ground a few times, Fang's Yilan Garden was full of stone pavement, although it was polished brilliance, but it was also hard and unstoppable, Xia Mengning finally stopped, only to feel that the sky was dark.

Zhu Lian hurriedly held up Xia Mengning's head and shouted urgently: "Miss, third miss ......"

Xia Mengning closed her eyes, but she didn't make a sound, Zhu Lian was very frightened, and couldn't help but turn her head and scolded the two maids standing on the steps at the door: "You are so bold, you dare to push the third miss." ”

The maid in the apricot yellow shirt smiled, "This sister is wrong, we didn't push, it was the third lady who didn't stand firm and accidentally fell." ”

At this moment, a figure flashed at the door, it was the wife of the general of the Zhenguo country, Geng Shi, she painted a strong makeup today, and wore a few precious gem hairpins on her head, and the whole person looked gorgeous and compelling.

"Madame!" The two maids are busy with their bodies.

Geng glanced at Xia Mengning who was lying on the ground, and his heart was very happy, so he just snorted coldly, turned around and walked to the back room.

Zhu Lian glanced at the Geng family, remembering that last time she embarrassed Miss in every possible way, and this time she let the maid harm Miss, and couldn't help but get angry out of her mouth, "Mrs. General, don't you care, your maid pushed my young lady down, my young lady's life and death are uncertain now, why are you so cold-blooded, my young lady didn't offend you, why do you have to embarrass her three times and twice, do you still have a conscience, you are not ashamed to be an elder at all." ”

After shouting at the words, Zhu Lian's eyes were already hazy with tears, she remembered that Miss had been kind to her in the past, so she couldn't help crying, stood up with Xia Mengning in her arms, and walked out of the garden.

"Bold!" Geng Shi was angry, "A little maid, dare to talk to me like this, it's against you, go up and take her down for me, I want to treat this girl well." ”

The two maids took the order to go down, Zhulian was very scared, for fear that they would hurt Xia Mengning, at this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the garden, Xia Chuanyuan walked in from the outside, a pair of fire-breathing eyes looked at Geng who was standing on the steps, and said angrily: "The general's wife is so majestic, this hand has reached into the prime minister's mansion, what, do you want to treat the old man today?" ”
