After speaking, Xiao Man straightened his posture, looked up at Mrs. Zhou, and smiled slightly: "I have already agreed to Lu Li, he agreed to make peace in front of his friends, but whether the matter can be done or not, then-"

Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed, got up directly and walked in front of Xiao Man, and knelt down with a puff, "County Lord!" Your great kindness and virtue are unforgettable! If you have a place where you can use me in the future, I will serve the county lord! ”

said this, if you don't know, you still think that Xiaoman is going to take the mother and daughter of the Zhou family to fight.

Xiao Man hurriedly helped the person up, "Mrs. Zhou, don't do this, this is something I promised a long time ago, so I naturally want to help you." ”

Saying that, Mrs. Zhou got up, her eyes were faintly filled with tears, she looked at Xiao Man, and her voice was a little crying: "County Lord, you are really good, I didn't expect that there are such good people as you in this world, I am really grateful to you and am willing to do anything for you." ”

Zhou Xiaoxiao also stepped forward and echoed: "Yes, county lord, you have done such a great deed, our mother and daughter must thank you!" ”

If she can take advantage of this matter to have a good relationship with the county lord, it will be more convenient and justifiable in the future, and at that time, she will not just be a rich person from a small town, but a celebrity around the county lord.

When the time comes, she will take a look at Aunt Zhang, who once looked down on her, and Ouyang You, who is fat and ugly, if she dares to throw a face at herself!

Hearing this, Xiao Man weighed it in his heart, and then looked at the mother and daughter of the Zhou family who were standing in front of him with firm eyes, and said tentatively: "Are you sure that you are willing to do anything for me?" ”

Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded hurriedly, "Yes!" The county lord commanded! ”

Looking at the other party's hesitant appearance, Xiao Man nodded with satisfaction, smiled lightly, and said: "Actually, I don't want you to help, after all, you are all outsiders, and you are not familiar with life in Bei'an, and you are not as good as ......me in some things."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou thought that Xiao Man was going to say something like 'I just tested you at random just now, but I didn't expect you to really want to help me, I was really moved', and thought that the other party was going to praise herself and Zhou Xiaoxiao's benevolence.

But he didn't want to, Xiao Man suddenly changed his words and mentioned Mrs. Zhang, "After all, she is your own sister Mrs. Zhou, and she has helped your mother and daughter a lot before, if you really want to help me, then go to your husband, in fact, Mrs. Zhang, she-"

"County Lord!" Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly interrupted Xiao Man's words very impolitely, her eyes that were originally full of gratitude suddenly turned into anger, her shoulders trembled slightly, and her eyes were red, "Do you know what Mrs. Zhang did to our mother and daughter?" Aren't you asking us to go back now and make us bow our heads and admit our mistakes?! ”

The other party's face was angry and regretful, and even Mrs. Zhou sighed helplessly, lowered her head, and said, "County Lord, I understand your kindness, it's just... My sister had gone too far, and even though I was her sister, I still couldn't forgive her. ”

Hearing this, Lu Li in the corner rolled his eyes silently, thinking: It seems that you are sorry for Mrs. Zhang, right? What is this doing now? Or do you really think that Mrs. Zhang is sorry for you?

Hearing these words, why didn't Xiao Man really want to roll his eyes? She secretly took a deep breath and reminded very vaguely: "Mrs. Zhou, I won't tell you anything, I also went to Zhang's Mansion once before, and I heard Mrs. Zhang talk about some of the things that happened that day. ”

"Since the county lord knows what happened that day, he should also know what humiliation our mother and daughter have suffered!" Zhou Xiaoxiao was furious, her cheeks were flushed, and she looked stubborn, "Auntie is right, I am a few years older than ordinary girls to be married, and I have no father and no support from my mother's family, but she can't use Ouyang You's pig's head to fool me, right?" ”

"Ouyang Gongzi doesn't seem to have-"

Xiao Man wanted to try to defend himself, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Zhou, although her tone was softer than Zhou Xiaoxiao's, but the words she said still sounded very uncomfortable and awkward.

They portrayed Mrs. Zhang as a person who did not hesitate to sacrifice her niece for the sake of her husband's official fortune, a person who looked down on them, hated the poor and loved the rich, and who was extremely ruthless regardless of sisterhood.

If it weren't for getting along with Mrs. Zhang a few times and being able to find out who the other party was, Xiaoman would have almost been deceived by their determined and angry tone.

Xiaoman said: "So it seems that you really don't want to have anything to do with Mrs. Zhang anymore?" ”

"Yes!" The two spoke in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xiaoxiao added: "County Lord, you don't know how powerful my aunt is!" If my mother and I had any more contact with her, I would have been pushed into the fire pit by her! County Lord, my aunt is an eternal pain in my mother's heart and mine, please don't mention it again. ”

"County Lord, now our mother and son are also very good, although there are no servants to serve, but we don't have to worry about eating and drinking, I don't think we need to bow our heads in order to maintain this false family relationship." Mrs. Zhou said.

Seeing that the two of them were so resolute, Xiao Man naturally didn't want to say anything more, so he only raised a slightly reluctant and perfunctory smile, and didn't speak.

She didn't really want to put the mother and daughter of the Zhou family in any predicament, after all, these two people are still Mrs. Zhang's relatives, and they are like this, and they haven't done anything hurtful, so from the bottom of her heart, Xiaoman didn't want the two to be too painful and helpless.

Therefore, Xiao Man only wanted to punish the other party a little from beginning to end, and the most powerful punishment she could think of was just to make them suffer the same dilemma as Mrs. Zhang, and in the end they had to return to their hometown.

But after some conversation, Xiao Man was a little unbearable, so he asked such a question, wanting to take the opportunity to see if there was room for relaxation in the relationship between them and Mrs. Zhang.

The result can be imagined, they would rather kowtow to an outsider, thank them, and even go to the soup to go to the fire, but they are unwilling to return to their relatives to admit their mistakes.

"It's not too early." Lu Li got up and walked to Xiao Man's side, put one hand on the woman's shoulder, looked at the mother and daughter of the Zhou family, and said expressionlessly: "Let's go first, I will settle the food money, and you should go back early." ”

As soon as she heard that Lu Li was going to settle the bill, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly jumped out and waved her hand, slightly panicked: "This can't be helped!" Grandpa Guo, this is our invitation to the county lord for dinner, so why do we need you to settle the bill? Don't settle the bill, we'll pay for the meal—"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Li interrupted with a light cough, his face was a little colder than before, although he didn't speak, Mrs. Zhou still shivered inexplicably, and her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she was completely silent.

"Let's go first, you don't have to settle the bill." Lu Li said it again.

This time, neither Mrs. Zhou nor Zhou Xiaoxiao dared to say anything more, so they could only respond flatteredly.

Xiao Man bowed slightly to the two of them, squeezing out a smile, "Then I'll go first." ”

"Congratulations to the county lord."

went downstairs, Lu Li settled the account at the account room at the door, and the two walked out of the Drunken Immortal Building, and as soon as they looked up, they saw the carriage of the county lord's mansion waiting not far away.

Xiao Man, who was held by the man, leaned on the other party slightly and walked forward slowly.

By this time, it was already a little late, and there were fewer and fewer people on the street, because the vendors had already closed their stalls and gone home, and the streets were quiet, and only occasionally a few words of laughter could be heard from passers-by.

The surrounding area is a variety of colorful lanterns, illuminating the ground in a colorful way, Xiaoman occasionally looks up at the lanterns on the street, occasionally lowers his head and stares at the stones on the road, and does not speak for a long time.

When he arrived at the side of the carriage, the coachman who was dozing off was awakened by Lu Li's coughing sound, he hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and bent down respectfully: "Grandpa Guo, Mrs. ”

Xiao Man looked around and didn't see the familiar figure, and there was no trace in the carriage, so she couldn't help asking, "Where is the jade?" ”

"Madame Hui, the jade girl went to see the big lantern not far away, and said that she would be back in a while." The coachman replied respectfully.

Hearing this, Xiao Man frowned, it's so late, even if he goes to see the lanterns, he should come back, right?

Lu Li also realized that something was wrong, and asked, "When did Jade leave?" Was there a lot of people on the street at that time? When will she be back? ”

Listening to Lu Li's serious tone, the coachman reacted, hurriedly raised his head, and replied in a somewhat panicked manner: "After Grandpa Guo and Mrs. Guo left the carriage, the road was blocked for a while, and then because people went to the east to see the big lanterns, the street was also wider, and the slave and Jade arrived at the Zuixian Building at that time." ”

"Later, when I saw that the people on the street were running to the east, the Jade Girl couldn't hold back her curiosity, and hurriedly instructed me a few words, and then she also went to the east with the flow of people, and has not come back yet."

After speaking, the coachman asked in a panic, "Madam, you said that this jade girl will not... Nothing will happen, right? ”

"No, no, no!" Xiaoman quickly vetoed, but she was still panicked in her heart, she swallowed her saliva, pulled Lu Li's arm, raised her eyes to look at the man, and for a while, the six gods were not mastered: "What should I do?" Lu Li, what should we do now? ”

After coming to Bei'an City for so long, she and Jade haven't been able to take a good look around Bei'an, so that they are still not very familiar with this place.

But now Jade is so bold to follow the flow of people to see the lanterns, there were so many people on the street at that time, she was a single girl, she didn't know martial arts, and she was not familiar with the local situation......

Thinking about it, Xiao Man's nervous heart was about to jump out.

Lu Li first instructed the coachman to go back to the county lord's mansion first to find someone familiar with the local area to help find him, and then reassured Xiao Man: "Don't worry, let's go to the east to look for it first." Jade, this girl is playful, and she is happy to see the lanterns, and she forgets the time for a while. ”

"Hopefully, it's just jadeite." Xiao Man tightened his heart and rushed to the direction of the big lantern in the east with Lu Li.
