Saying that, Xiao Man walked down, stood still in front of everyone, and said: "Yes, I have not been able to arrange work for you for more than a month, so that you have not received a penny of wages, but you think about it with your conscience, how have I treated you for more than a month?" ”

With a huge county lord's mansion, can it be supported only by Xiaoman, the so-called county lord's monthly salary? She didn't rely on the money she had saved to provide for everyone's life.

Besides, even if they want to make money and teach more people, they can give advice, and they can discuss it with Xiaoman when they come back, but they just can't do such a despicable and rude thing.

What's more, Wang Youhe has explained so many times, she is just acting on orders, but what about those people? They still use all kinds of vulgar words to humiliate her and threaten her so that she can do what they want.

What is the difference between such behavior and robbers?

But sadly, Chen Ru didn't realize what she had done wrong, she stared at Xiao Man with bared teeth, and pestered around: "Don't say that these things are some or not, in short, you forced us to become what we are today, and it's all your fault!" ”

What made Xiao Man's heart even more chilling was that Qian Juan, who had been tearing and scuffling with Chen Ru before, also came to help Chen Ru speak at this time, "Sister Ru is right, you care about our food and accommodation, this is all right, we are here to make money, and we are not here to see your face and be a servant for you!" ”

"That's it, we are embroiderers, we are all selected from the competition, and we are not servants, and we have to look at your face!"

"Don't think that you can send us away with a small favor, we are not lowly slaves!"

Seeing that this person was arrogant again, and the noise did not stop, Xiao Man suddenly felt that there were a thousand ducks rattling in her ears, she forcibly suppressed her anger, walked in front of Chen Ru, stared at the other party's smug face, and asked in a deep voice: "I only ask you one word, are you leading all this?" ”

Chen Ru didn't realize the danger yet, so he shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "It's me, what's wrong?" What can you do with me? ”

Xiao Man nodded, ignoring the other party's question, but continued to ask: "Did you hide Zhao Fen's son's urn so that she could be controlled by you and let her carry the black pot for you?" ”

"You're right, I did all of this." Chen Ru became more and more rampant, even if she was still being held by the little girl, she did not have the slightest fear, but took the initiative to provoke: "Su Xiaoman, yes, I admit it, but what can you do?" ”

"Zhao Fen is dead, but she committed suicide, what does it have to do with me? Besides, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't set fires, I didn't steal, and I didn't cause any damage to your mansion, so what can you do? ”

Looking at the other party's presumptuous and fearless appearance with a swollen pig-headed face, Xiao Man didn't feel angry, but just felt funny and ridiculous.

She sneered, full of disdain, "Chen Ru, have you forgotten who I am and who Wang Youhe's father is?" ”

Chen Ru rolled his eyes, still not realizing the meaning of Xiao Man's words, "This is Canglan, what if Wang Youhe's father is a big official of the imperial court, can he still reach Canglan?" And you, don't think that the king has crowned you as a county lord, and you will forget to do it proudly! After all, you're just a good teacher! ”

It is only today that Xiao Man can see Chen Ru's true face, and in the entire county lord's mansion, including the entire vicissitudes of the world, there are probably not a few people who think like Chen Ru.

But Xiaoman doesn't care, she doesn't care if the county lord is not the county lord, even if the king didn't make her the county lord at that time, she will still come to Canglan.

Therefore, Xiao Man shrugged his shoulders and sneered at Chen Ru's appearance: "So what? Are you so naïve to think that I can't execute you? Chen Ru, how old are you, why are your ideas so simple! ”

After speaking, Xiao Man turned around and returned to his position, and said condescendingly: "Hold Chen Ru and the others in prison, only give one meal a day, and take good care, if one person escapes, I will ask you!" ”

The little guys responded: "Yes!" ”

"You... You are abusive lynching! Chen Ru finally realized the danger, and she struggled hard, shouting angrily.

But Xiao Man just smiled slightly, "So what? You go to the government to sue me. ”

Chen Ru was speechless, and everyone saw that Chen Ru had lost the upper hand, and finally became restless, but at that time, a bunch of small people rushed in and escorted people down one by one, and it was too late for them to resist at this time.

The noisy bunch of people were finally pulled away, Xiao Man breathed a long sigh of relief, took the envelope on the table sideways, and looked at the crooked words "Mrs. Personally Kai" in front of him for a long time.

Last night, she was still struggling with what to do with Zhao Fen, and today she committed suicide......

Maybe death is also a relief for Zhao Fen.

I don't know if Zhao Fen still has a family in Shangjing, but if she wants to transport her body back to find her family and cremate her, it is too unrealistic, so Xiaoman had to order the older people in the house to dispose of Zhao Fen's body, and then put away her relics, and wait for Hua Li to go to Beijing, and then let him bring these things back, which can be regarded as returning to the roots.

After discussing with a few servants in the house who knew about this matter, and then entrusting everything to the housekeeper and letting him handle all the matters of cremating Zhao Fen, Xiao Man was a little relieved.

After finishing speaking, let the housekeeper and the others go to work first, Xiao Man sat on the soft collapse and was silent for a while before rubbing his eyebrows, "Pearl, go and prepare the horse, we should also go back." ”

"Madam, those embroidery girls who are locked up......" Pearl reminded in a low voice.

"I have my own considerations for this, I'll keep them behind for a while."

For now, the most important thing is the greenhouse in the suburbs, which has been gone for a long time and a night, Xiaoman is really relieved, and he has to go back to see it in person.

I prepared my horse and hurried all the way back to the suburbs.

After returning to the suburbs, Xiao Man didn't bother to go back to the house, got out of the carriage and walked straight in the direction of the greenhouse. She walked in a hurry, and the road in the suburbs was not easy to walk, during which she almost fell several times, if it wasn't for Pearl coming in time, I'm afraid Xiaoman would have fallen several times.

When I arrived at the greenhouse, the jadeite who happened to be inside hurriedly greeted me after entering and asked a long question: "How is it?" What the hell happened in the house, and why did Madame come back now? ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that, what's going on here?" Xiao Man asked anxiously.

Jade smiled, "That's naturally no problem, with me and Xiao Qi in the care, plus Grandpa Guo also came last night, the three of them are watching, it's absolutely fine!" ”

Lu Li is also here?

Xiao Man didn't care about asking any more questions, so she quickly inspected the greenhouse, and after making sure that it was really okay, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, took off the robe that was stained with a little sweat because of the high temperature in the shed, and handed it to Jade.

"Madam, what's going on in the house?" Emerald curiously tight.

"Wait a minute, let Pearl explain it to you." Xiao Man breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the land that had just been watered, and smiled with relief, "Fortunately, nothing happened here, otherwise I would really collapse." ”

As soon as the words fell, a male voice suddenly appeared in the shed: "Listening to your tone, it seems that something big has happened in the house." ”

Xiaoman turned around in surprise, looked at Lu Li who was walking towards him with a smile, and suddenly felt that the burden on her body could be put down at this moment, she trotted towards Lu Li, and didn't care about the maids and servants around her, and threw herself directly into the other party's arms.

The emotions that had accumulated for a long time, anger, sadness, and amazement, all kinds of emotions rushed up, turning into two lines of tears flowing down the corners of Xiaoman's eyes, she hugged each other tightly, trying to minimize her sobbing.

But the man still found the slight twitching of the person in his arms, he grabbed the other party's shoulders, slightly exerted force to pick the person up, and went straight out of the greenhouse.

Walking quickly all the way to the room, Lu Li put the person on the bed, turned around to close the door, walked back and squatted, gently wiped the tears from the corners of the other party's eyes and cheeks with his hands, and asked softly, "What's going on in the house?" ”

"I... I don't know what to say for a while, but there are a lot of things going on, and it's very annoying. Xiao Man lowered his head, did not touch the other party's gaze, stared at the corner of his clothes, and his voice was wilted, "Don't ask, I don't want to say it now." ”

"Okay, then I won't ask." Lu Li got up and sat down beside the woman, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around the other party's shoulder, and took the person into his arms, and really didn't say anything more.

He knew that the other party needed to be quiet now, needed a shoulder, and when the other party needed to listen, it was not too late for him to understand all this.

The two of them just stayed quietly, because the door had been closed, and no one came to disturb them anymore, they sat like this until the sun was slanting and the county lord's mansion brought dinner, and Lu Li asked softly, "Have you eaten?" ”

Xiao Man rubbed on the man's shoulder, looking much more energetic than before, but before she could nod, a "gurgling" sound sounded in the silent room.

She blushed embarrassedly, then buried her head in the man's arms, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm hungry." ”

Lu Li raised his lips, raised his hand to rub the other party's hair, and said dotingly: "Then I'll let them bring the food in, and you can sit by yourself for a while, okay?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Man was still blushing, she lowered her head and moved away from the man's chest, sat up straight, stared at the corner of her clothes with her head down, and didn't dare to look up at the other party's gaze.

Seeing this, Lu Li couldn't help but rub her hair again, and said in a childlike tone: "Sit down obediently, I'll be back soon." ”

Xiao Man didn't notice anything wrong with the other party's tone, so he only nodded in a daze, and still didn't raise his head.

It wasn't until the other party went out that Xiao Man reacted, she couldn't help but reach out to cover her hot cheeks, and lay on the bed in embarrassment and rolled over.
