Since the Wang family came to the county lord's mansion, except for the fact that he was too sad and unfamiliar with the surroundings at first, so he couldn't go out, and he became more and more extroverted in the next few days.

She often goes to the kitchen to help, and occasionally helps the maid clean the backyard, which is very diligent.

probably wanted to know what her daughter was doing before she died, so Wang stayed in the backyard for an extraordinarily long time, when everyone was busy and she had nothing to do, she usually stood in the courtyard of the backyard, watching the foreign maids who learned embroidery in a daze.

Qian Xiaoshan was taken away by Li Lin, there was a huge backyard, hundreds of students, and the Wang family only knew Jia Meng, so the two walked very closely.

But Jia Meng is not a maid in the county lord's mansion after all, and she has to leave every evening, so after evening, the Wang family becomes lonely again, sometimes she doesn't even eat dinner, and after helping the cook cook, she wanders around the backyard alone.

Xiao Man was initially worried that the Wang family had some intentions, but after sending someone to observe for a while, she realized that the Wang family was just immersed in the grief of losing her daughter, and she couldn't extricate herself.

After learning this, Xiao Man didn't know what to say, so he had to let the other party go.

But fortunately, within a few days, good news came from Li Lin's side, and the eyeliner he sent to the bottom of Liquan Mountain sent a letter back, saying that the bandits were about to move recently, and they often went up and down the mountain on a large scale, and seemed to be about to start moving.

Xiao Man and Lu Li were very nervous when they learned about this, and they had faint expectations, after all, after waiting for so long, the bandits were finally about to start moving.

Den.

"Xiaoman, don't go anywhere these days, just follow what we said before, you can't act rashly in any situation, you know?" Lu Li instructed in advance.

Xiao Man smiled, "Don't worry, I've been preparing for so long, I will definitely not hold back." ”

Lu Li pressed the other party's shoulder, and his eyes slowly became worried, "You must be careful, you know?" I won't be in the house these days, you be careful. ”

After all, he knew in advance that the bandits were going to take action, and in order to completely reduce their defense, Lu Li had to go out to live for a while during this time, so that the bandits would think that they could take advantage of the situation now.

Before the beginning, Lu Li was worried about Xiaoman and Wangshu, so he naturally refused to agree with this opinion, but there was no way, they had too little information about the bandits, and in order to be able to defeat them in one fell swoop, he had to respond to Li Lin's request.

But at the same time, Li Lin has also promised that he will definitely ensure the safety of Xiaoman and Wangshu and not let Lu Li worry.

"By the way, you haven't been in the suburbs for a few days, are those rabbits okay?" Xiao Man suddenly thought of those rabbits and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Lu Li smiled lightly, "It's okay, Xiao Qi, they are very strict, and those bandits have no chance to do it." ”

Xiao Man nodded, and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door of the study.

A reminder from the little guy sounded outside: "Grandpa Guo, the carriage is ready, it's time for you to leave for the suburbs." ”

When the time of separation came, Xiaoman became more and more reluctant, she took the initiative to hug each other, bit her lip reluctantly and said: "You must take care of yourself these days, and you must come back safely." ”

"Okay." Lu Li lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand to wrap around the other party, and held the person tightly in his arms and hugged him tightly. Then, he looked at each other quietly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of pampering.

Seeing that time was passing away bit by bit, the little guy outside urged again, and seeing that he couldn't delay any longer, Lu Li took the initiative to push Xiao Man away.

He said: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely, and at that time, you and Wangshu must also be at home, you know?" ”

As he spoke, he wiped away the tears from the corners of the woman's eyes, and gently helped the other party tidy up his hair and clothes, and his small movements were full of pampering and tenderness.

The more this happened, the more Xiaoman cried harder, and in the end, his body twitched and cried extremely sadly.

In order to adjust the atmosphere, Lu Li couldn't help but joke: "Fortunately, I didn't let Wangshu come to the study to wait for me, otherwise I would have seen you like this." ”

"If you see, you see." Xiao Man cried and sobbed, and his voice was also incompatible, "He is my son, I don't believe that he dares to laugh at me." ”

"Okay, good, don't laugh at you." Lu Li wiped away the woman's tears little by little with a soft handkerchief, and then took the other party's hand, clasped his fingers, and said sideways: "Let's go, let's go to the door together." ”

The two appeared in front of everyone hand in hand, and Wangshu, who was brought over by Mama, stepped forward, also raised his head and held Lu Li's big palm, and said seriously: "Father, when will you come back?" ”

The child has been very calm and steady since he was a child, and rarely let the two of them worry about it, even if he was kidnapped by the bandits before, he has always been quiet, and he quickly recovered his spirit after coming back.

But after all, he's just a kid.

These two thieves are obviously coming towards Wangshu, and as Wangshu's father, he can't be by his side this time, and he can't protect him, Lu Li is very guilty.

Thinking of this, Lu Li glanced at Xiao Man first, and the other party willingly let go of the hands of the two of them with ten fingers, so that Lu Li could squat down.

The man squatted down and raised a shallow smile, he looked at Wangshu and said, "Father promises you that I will definitely come back in seven days in seven days, okay?" ”

Wangshu bit his lip, first blinked his eyes and thought about it, and then nodded heavily, and said in a milky voice: "Okay, father, you must talk and count." ”

"I will." Lu Li responded softly, looking at the child's immature face, the tip of his nose was sour for no reason, and he almost cried in front of the child.

Fortunately, he covered his lips and coughed lightly to hide the past, and was not noticed. Immediately afterwards, Lu Li said: "Wangshu, in my absence, you must be obedient, you know?" No matter what happens, you must stay calm and never panic, okay? ”

He knew that such a request was a bit difficult for a child, and it was still in the face of such a dangerous situation, let alone a child, even a fully sane adult could not calm down.

But Wangshu agreed without thinking, and smiled quite proudly, and said confidently: "Father, don't worry, I can absolutely can, and I can protect my mother, so don't worry." ”

Looking at the sensible child, Lu Centrifugal was sour again, he smiled, reached out and gently kneaded the child's little face twice, and gently patted the child's still immature shoulder to show encouragement.

It was not too early, and Lu Li didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly instructed others, and then waved his hand to Xiaoman and Wangshu, and left in the carriage.

Watching the carriage carrying Lu Li gradually move away, until the back of the carriage could no longer be seen, Xiao Man took everyone back and prepared to prepare for the next thing.

Because he wanted the thieves to completely relax their vigilance, during the time when Lu Li left the county lord's mansion, Li Lin couldn't come and go too much, and if there was something important on the way, he could only rely on the king's most trusted palace maid - Fuliu to pass it on.

"Ma'am."

Pearl who had just opened the door was startled by the jade standing in the room, and she hurriedly said, "Are your feet all right?" Why did it suddenly come out? Jade, what's the matter with you? ”

Xiao Man, who arrived later, glanced sideways at Jade, and couldn't help frowning, "Jade, why are you here?" ”

"Ma'am." Jade scratched her head a little embarrassed, limped a few steps, rubbed in front of Xiao Man, and said, "My foot is almost fine, so I thought-"

"You're almost right?" Xiao Man interrupted unceremoniously and said, "Jade, you can recuperate with peace of mind, I have pearls here, you don't have to worry." ”

Presumably the news of Lu Li's departure reached Jade's ears, and this girl was worried, so she wanted to come back to serve her as soon as possible.

Just as Xiao Man guessed, Jade opened her mouth and said, "Madam, now that Grandpa Guo has left the County Lord's Mansion, and there is only Pearl by your side, I really don't feel at ease." ”

As she spoke, Jade took a few steps to hold on to the pain, forced herself to raise a smile, and said, "Although I am not well yet, it is enough to serve Mrs. on weekdays." ”

"Nope." Xiao Man refused without thinking about it, she frowned slightly, and said seriously: "Jade, I have an injury on my foot, in case I fall ill, it's not a joke, no matter how short of people I am, I can't let you come." ”

Xiao Man, like Jade, was also injured in the ankle, and he was injured on the same day, and now Xiao Man is still limping when he is supported to walk, not to mention Jade.

Xiaoman's attitude was resolute, Jade grinded for a while and didn't let her loosen for half a minute, in the end, Jade had no choice, so she had to hang her head and mutter, "But I've been raising it in my room for so many days, and I always don't work, and others should gossip." ”

"If anyone dares to gossip, what is there to be afraid of if you let her get out of front of me?" Xiao Man said simply.

Seeing this, Pearl also helped to persuade: "Jade, you better take care of your injuries, look at your face, just walked a few steps hard, it must be very painful, right?" There is me here, you can rest assured, when you recover from your injuries, you will naturally have to come back to serve, don't think about it. ”

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Pearl also helped persuade himself in turn, Jade slumped her head and whispered: "Even if you don't come back to serve, Madam has to find me a job to do, otherwise I will be weak all day long, and I will grow mushrooms soon." ”

Hearing this, Xiaoman and Pearl couldn't help but laugh, she laughed and scolded: "Nonsense, the weather is so cold, you can still grow mushrooms on your body?" ”

Pearl also pointed to the jade and smiled: "If you can really grow mushrooms on your body, then the lady will be easy to do, and you don't have to go to the greenhouse to grow vegetables, just lock you in the house." ”

Jade pouted at what the two of them said, looked up at Xiao Man, and dragged out a coquettish tone: "Madam, just find me a job to do, otherwise I will really be suffocated to death." ”
