"Huh?!" Xiao Man pretended to be surprised, and after exclaiming, he pretended to be indignant: "How could such a thing happen? ”

Zhou Xiaoxiao and Mrs. Zhou were still immersed in their lies, and they didn't see any clues from Xiaoman's exaggerated appearance.

I only heard Zhou Xiaoxiao crying and said: "My aunt and my husband took me and my mother to Ouyang's house for dinner, but I said a few indecent words at the time, and was scolded by my aunt on the spot. ”

Although what Zhou Xiaoxiao said is indeed true, she deliberately concealed some important parts, as if Mrs. Zhang was unreasonable and couldn't tolerate their mother and son.

But fortunately, Xiaoman had already heard the true truth of the matter in Zhang Shangqi, so she just sneered in her heart about what Zhou Xiaoxiao said, and just pretended to be very concerned on her face.

"County Lord, my mother and I just came to Bei'an City, I thought I could go to my aunt, but I didn't want the other party to look down on us at all......" Saying that, Zhou Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears with a handkerchief again, lowered her head and eyes, and her voice was hoarse, "County Lord, if it weren't for us really having nowhere to go, we wouldn't have come to trouble you anyway." ”

Mrs. Zhou also chimed in: "Yes! County Lord, it stands to reason that our mother and son are not short of money, and we can find a better house to live in, but I just can't swallow this breath! Ming Jingxue is my biological sister! In this world, I am the only one left with such a relative, but I didn't expect her to do this to us! ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man pretended to be puzzled: "The Mrs. Zhang I know is not such a person, Mrs. Zhou, do you have any misunderstanding with her?" Otherwise, how could she rush you out? ”

The mother and daughter of the Zhou family, who sang with a red face and a white face, were both stunned, and then, Zhou Xiaoxiao was the first to react, biting her lip, and said aggrievedly: "County Lord, you don't know, my aunt wants me to marry the son of the Ouyang family, so as to consolidate my uncle's position in the court!" ”

"Huh? Is that so? Xiao Man pretended to be surprised again.

As far as she knew, Zhang Shangqi was honest and honest, and he was quite trusted by the king in the court, and since she got along with him for a while, she could also be sure that this Lord Zhang was absolutely greedy for the powerful, and he would not bury the happiness of his niece in the second half of his life in order to consolidate his position in the court.

What's more, that Lord Ouyang and Zhang Shangqi are also good friends, so even if Zhang Shangqi doesn't do this, the other party will stand on the same side as him, so why do you have to marry in order to consolidate your status?

However, the true purpose of the Zhou family's mother and daughter is still revealed, and Xiaoman can only accompany them to act, so as to see their purpose thoroughly.

"County Lord, I don't know my heart, my sister looks gentle and kind, and she has no quarrel with the world, but in fact, she is very greedy for money!" Speaking of her sister's bad words, this Mrs. Zhou stopped crying, she gritted her teeth, and looked like she hated the other party.

Seeing that her mother was getting more and more excited, Zhou Xiaoxiao hurriedly coughed lightly, and after cutting off the other party's words, she hurriedly took Mrs. Zhou's words and said: "County Lord, in fact, it's not that my aunt is greedy for money, it's just that she regards Ouyang Gongzi as her own child, and seeing that the other party's eldest has not yet proposed marriage, she hit me with her idea." ”

Xiao Man nodded thoughtfully, "I see." ”

"Yes! County Lord, you must be the master of our Xiaoxiao! Mrs. Zhou suddenly knelt down with a puff, crying and shouting, "Our family Xiaoxiao can't marry the Ouyang family under any circumstances, the county lord, you must help us!" ”

"How do you want me to help?" Xiao Man followed the other party's words and said.

Seeing that things were developing in the direction she expected, Zhou Xiaoxiao was very proud in her heart, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking secretly: This county lord is not as smart as the legend, he and his mother just used a little trick, and the other party was led away by his own nose!

However, she was proud in her heart, Zhou Xiaoxiao was still very aggrieved on the surface, she bit her lip and stood behind the kneeling Mrs. Zhou, looked at Xiaoman, and said aggrievedly and resolutely: "I would rather die than marry that Ouyang Gongzi!" ”

"Don't, don't, Miss Zhou, don't be so excited." Xiao Man hurriedly persuaded: "Everything can be solved, since you don't want to marry Ouyang Gongzi, then you can just say it, why die?" Isn't it? ”

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Zhou cried: "County Lord, where can we talk Xiaoxiao?" Although the Ouyang family is not a powerful official, after all, it is also an important minister of the imperial court, we are grass people, where can we go against the Ouyang family?! ”

"So, how do you want me to help you?" Xiao Man didn't bother to ask some questions, and directly expressed his doubts.

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said: "I also ask the county lord to marry Xiaoxiao better, so that the Ouyang family and the Zhang family will be completely dead!" I can also feel more at ease! ”

Speaking of which, it turned out that he wanted to find a better family for Zhou Xiaoxiao than the Ouyang family, and Xiaoman secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn't help but smile slightly, "That's natural, Miss Zhou is beautiful, gentle and generous, she will definitely find a better person than the Ouyang family, you can rest assured, this matter is on me!" ”

"Thank you, Lord!" Zhou Xiaoxiao was so happy that she was about to go to heaven, she didn't expect it to happen so quickly, she hurriedly thanked her to prevent Xiaoman from regretting it.

Mrs. Zhou also kowtowed again and again, thanking her non-stop.

"Since you have been kicked out by Mrs. Zhang, where should you live in the future?" Xiao Man held his chin and pretended to be concerned: "Why don't you live in my house for a while, anyway, my place is very big, and there are many empty yards." ”

If you can let the mother and daughter of the Zhou family live in, you can monitor their every move and find out each other's routines and true character, so as not to be tricked again.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou's mother and daughter glanced at each other and made eye contact for a while.

Xu was that they didn't expect Xiao Man to be so enthusiastic before, so Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Xiaoxiao were a little hesitant about Xiao Man's invitation.

It's really good to live in, after all, this is the county lord's mansion, the scenery is beautiful, and there are people to serve, but if you get along day and night, the lies you tell are easy to see through, and it doesn't taste good to send people under the fence again.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaoxiao hurriedly knelt down, "Thank you for the great kindness of the county lord, but the county lord still has a lot of things to do here, and my mother and I can't help, so don't come to make trouble." ”

After speaking, Mrs. Zhou also echoed two sentences, openly and secretly refusing.

Xiao Man couldn't help but persuade a few more words, but she never got the result she wanted, and seeing that it was not too early, she had to agree: "Since you insist on living in the inn, then I will not keep you, you can rest assured, I will definitely help you with the things that should be done before." ”

"Thank you, Lord County." The mother and daughter responded in unison.

Then, Xiao Man asked the two to leave first with the reason that it was too late, and after the two walked out of the door of the main hall, Xiao Man was completely relieved, and collapsed on the soft collapse with some weakness, closed his eyes and sighed.

She thought to herself: Judging from the performance and dialogue just now, the mother and daughter should have colluded a long time ago, otherwise they would not have said one sentence after another, and let themselves fall into the other party's trap unconsciously.

Thinking of this, Xiao Man was inevitably afraid, if he didn't know the truth, or if he didn't trust Master Zhang's family, then he would easily fall for the way of the mother and daughter of the Zhou family and be used by them.

"Madam, do you really want to help Miss Zhou find a better family?" After sending off the mother and daughter of the Zhou family, Jade asked curiously.

Xiao Man sighed, opened his eyes and got up, and said while walking in the direction of the bedroom: "Do you think I really have that much time?" also gave her a matchmaker, even if I was idle in the house, I didn't bother to run before and after, and give her a marriage. ”

He is not as easy to talk as Mrs. Zhang, and besides, he is not a relative of the Zhou family's mother and daughter, and he doesn't know where they got their face and confidence, so he actually let himself help Zhou Xiaoxiao Zhang Luo's marriage.

Hearing this, Jade was a little stunned, "Then why did you promise so happily just now, the slave still thought-"

"Think I believed their words and thought that Mrs. Zhang was a greedy person for money and wealth?" Xiao Man stopped, leaned sideways and raised an eyebrow at Jadeite and smiled.

Jade laughed twice and said: "Fortunately, Mrs. didn't agree, otherwise, it will definitely be an endless trouble to solve in the future, maybe they will beat a rake, saying that you are not satisfied!" ”

How did they accuse Mrs. Zhang behind their backs, Xiaoman saw it all, she was not so stupid.

"However, Madame doesn't really want to help Zhou Xiaoxiao, so why agree?" This is another point that Jade doesn't understand, she scratched her head, frowned, and said, "Is it okay to just reply?" It is also necessary to think of reasons to prevaricate her in the future. ”

Xiao Man smiled, opened the door of the bedroom, and said while stretching his waist: "This person is not so easy to find, not to mention, it is still a person who still has to be entrusted with his life, for the sake of Miss Zhou, I naturally have to choose well." ”

"Madame means ......" Jade didn't quite understand.

"People, naturally, you have to be selective, and it will take more time." Xiao Man took off the earrings casually, turned around and tapped the tip of the other party's nose, and said with a smile: "A peerless beauty like Miss Zhou, the marriage naturally can't be sloppy, I pick one for three years and five years, it shouldn't be too much, right?" ”

Hearing this, Jade couldn't help but be stunned, and then reacted, laughing: "Madame is really bad, three years and five years have passed, and the girl is about to be thirty years old this week!" ”

"There's no way, I'm a real person, and if I don't choose well, how can I match the girl last week?" Xiao Man sat in front of the bronze mirror, looked at himself in the mirror with a smile, and said.
