Chapter 58: The Storm is Coming

At night, someone finally remembered to send a meal to Mai Xiaohuan, looking at the food in front of her, her tears fell into the bowl one by one. If someone had remembered this matter early on, it would have been great, in that case, the second sister might not have gone to Yifeng Garden on an errand.

Finally survived a long night, Mai Xiaohuan changed her clothes, hurriedly ate and went to the county lord's study, she wanted to know the current situation of the second sister too much, and hoped that the county lord could help her and let the second sister come back.

Seeing Mai Xiaohuan, Mama Wang patted her head and said: "There were too many things yesterday, I forgot to tell you that your second sister is now on an errand with Yue Gongzi, if she is lucky, she can follow back to Beijing, then she will be happy in the future." ”

Mai Xiaohuan shook her head desperately, no matter what the identity of that Yue Gongzi was, the second sister would not be willing to follow him. Her reaction surprised the county lord of Evian, Mama Wang, and Master Ren, what a glorious thing it is for a small village girl to be the maid of King Chen's concubine! Looking at Mai Xiaohuan's appearance, it looked like the sky was about to fall.

It must be that she doesn't know the identity of Yue Gongzi, so she will have this expression, Wang Mama kindly helped her solve her doubts, and introduced the identity and origin of Yue Gongzi in detail.

It turned out that the noble man who came yesterday was surnamed Zhou Mingyue, the son of King Chen, the grandson of the Empress Dowager, and his status in Xirui was above that of all the imperial relatives and relatives...... After listening to the origin of Yue Gongzi, Mai Xiaohuan's face became even more ugly.

"My second sister has never learned the rules, she doesn't know how to serve people at all, and she has never been in contact with someone with such a noble status, it is good to be appreciated, in case she offends a nobleman......"

This is really a problem, with that Yue Gongzi's temper and methods, it is possible to directly wipe people. Looking at Mai Xiaohuan, who was listless and annoyed, several people didn't know how to persuade her.

Under such circumstances, how can Mai Xiaohuan be in the mood to read! It just so happened that the county lord was also frightened yesterday, and Master Ren saw that the two little girls were not in the mood, so he gave them a lesson early.

Mai Xiaohuan paced outside Yifeng Garden, hiding behind a tree, observing the movement of Yifeng Garden. There stood two rows of soldiers with weapons, and the plaque that had just been hung yesterday seemed to still smell of ink.

Yifeng Garden is actually the first half of the Lotus Courtyard, and now it is separated into two worlds by a gate and two rows of soldiers.

Just as she was distracted, the gate of the Lotus Courtyard was opened, and Mai Xiaohuan, who was hidden behind the tree, looked over, and her father-in-law was standing at the front in an official uniform, and a large group of people behind him, Qu Hao was also among them.

After a while, the door of Yifeng Garden also opened, and out of it came a group of men and horses, dressed in the same guard clothes, with swords at their waists, and behind them were maids, dressed in yellow and green, holding things in their hands, or hanging their hands.

Mai Xiaofang was in the crowd.

What to do? In the past, I called someone, and took advantage of the presence of my father-in-law to rescue the second sister, or should I figure out the situation and then talk about it?

After struggling for a long time, Mai Xiaohuan chose the latter, looking at this lineup, this Yue Gongzi is bigger than the lord of Evian, and he is not an ordinary royal relative, he knows at a glance that it is the kind of number of names, and he is very delicious in front of the emperor.

As she analyzed, she paid attention to the movement of the crowd, and at this time, the crowd that had already reached the door dispersed, and the guards and maids stood on either side, and walked out of the middle...... Half-grown boy.

This...... This is Yue Gongzi! Soon Qu Zhiyi told her the answer with his actions, and a large number of people bowed down to salute the half-grown child, calling him "Yue Gongzi" in his mouth.

Mai Xiaohuan took advantage of the bustle at the gate and left quietly, her mind was in chaos now, if the other party was an adult, she might be able to find him to be affectionate and reasonable, and begged him to put back the second sister. In front of a half-grown child, Mai Xiaohuan really didn't know what to do.

It didn't take long for Qu Zhiyi's father and son to also find Mai Xiaofang in the maid team, Mai Xiaofang didn't want to cause trouble to the county guard's mansion, she naively thought that this Yue Gongzi was just a guest in the Lotus Courtyard, and when he left, he could reunite with his sister by identifying himself.

So she found an opportunity to say a few words to Qu Hao, telling him that she was only temporarily entering Yifeng Garden to help, and she would return to her sister soon. Qu Hao thought that their sisters were not descendants of the Lotus Courtyard, but Mai Xiaofang's words were still credible, and said to her "Be careful" and returned to her position.

Mai Xiaofang spat out a turbid breath and turned back to serve the uncle, no, it was the master, she was also very depressed! I just wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but I didn't expect to meet the steward of Yifeng Garden, and picked a group of maids to go over to show Yue Gongzi. One of the maids accidentally touched the cup on the table, and he quickly caught the cup that was about to fall to the ground, and he would think that he was forcibly left behind as a maid because of this move, hey! I don't know what my sister is worried about!

How could Mai Xiaohuan not be worried, since he saw that Yue Gongzi, to be precise, his back, Mai Xiaohuan spent the rest of his time thinking about countermeasures, except when he was sleeping. It's not good to come hard, and I'm not enough for those guards to kick it; It doesn't seem appropriate to come soft, because I don't have a chance to get close to Yifeng Garden at all, and I can't do those actions of kneeling and begging for mercy.

Two days have passed, Mai Xiaohuan still can't think of a way, she used to accompany the county lord to class, and she liked to sit under the window in her room and read the most. Now she can't sit still in the room at all, and often leans back on the bench under the porch in a daze.

"Zao'er, go and have a look! The maids in Yifeng Garden made a mistake and knelt in the courtyard to be punished! I heard that someone lost Yue Gongzi's jade pendant, and the culprit is being found in Yifeng Garden! Shen'er ran into the courtyard and crossed his waist, panting and saying.

Yifeng Garden, Maid ...... Mai Xiaohuan is now the most sensitive to the two words, she lifted her skirt and ran out first, the little maids in the county lord's yard gathered in groups and whispered, how they used to envy those who knelt on the ground, and now how glad they were to be able to stay with the county lord as an errand.

Although the county lord is a little cowardly, although she has no status in the Chuanping Palace, at least she is not harsh on the people below, and there has never been a matter of kneeling like this.

Mai Xiaohuan squeezed into the crowd, turned left and right, and when she reached the gate, there were thirty or forty maids in Yifeng Garden, kneeling under the steps according to their ranks. A teenage boy walked among the kneeling maids with his hands on his back as if he were walking in the woods, and from time to time he would ask a few words, and next to him stood two guards with long whips in their hands, and it seemed that if they couldn't ask anything, they would serve with whips.

"You don't say yes, do you! Then don't blame Brother Quan, I'm not emotional. His hand moved slightly, and one of the guards next to him raised his whip and shook it, and he heard a crisp "pop".

The chatter, the whispering, came to an abrupt end, and everyone didn't know where the whip would fall next time.

"No one will come forward again, I can point it out." The man named Xiaoquanzi walked very casually, and everyone prayed silently that he would never come to his side, and he would not point to himself.

"Father-in-law Quan, the slave knows who took the jade pendant." A maid kneeling in the back row plucked up her courage and said.

Xiao Quanzi raised her chin slightly and motioned for her to continue.

The maid hesitated, bit her lip, and pointed at Mai Xiaofang. Mai Xiaofang continued to kneel there without knowing anything, without looking up, nor noticing the abnormality behind her.

Zhou Yue, who was sitting under the window, shook his head with his chin in one hand, and there was a chill in his eyes. Among the people newly assigned to his side, he only had a little impression of Mai Xiaofang, who was quick with his hands and feet, and his intuition told him that this matter was not done by that girl, but it seemed that her popularity was not very good, and she was the first to be reported in a group of people.

Mai Xiaohuan thought about it for a while to know what that maid meant, and it was obvious that kneeling in front of him was the person brought by the Yue Gongzi himself. The people kneeling behind were all people who followed the county lord, only Mai Xiaofang had no backing, it didn't matter.

Mai Xiaohuan could figure out this truth, and the rest of the people quickly reacted, and several people pointed the finger at Mai Xiaofang, and it was only at this time that Mai Xiaofang realized that she was about to become a scapegoat.

She opened her big innocent eyes and shook her head, and Izumiko told her that she could also identify others to clear herself. Mai Xiaofang didn't know who took the things, so she could only tell Xiaoquanzi that she didn't take them, and she didn't know who took them.

What a little silly girl, Xiaoquanzi feels sorry for Mai Xiaofang, this girl is not very troublesome, not flattering, and she can't see which small gang she joins, and she still wants to train her well and stay by Gongzi's side on an errand! I didn't expect her to be so stupid, she couldn't even defend herself a few words and fight for her rights.

If you want to get a result from today's events, you need to deter these people, and if you want to deter them, you need to make an example of them.

Xiao Quanzi glanced in the direction of the guards, and someone walked towards Mai Xiaofang, who knew that it was useless to say anything. Looking at the little girl who talks and laughs with herself on weekdays, and even is commensurate with her sister, she thinks of her sister Mai Xiaohuan, if she were her, she would definitely not betray her sister in order to keep herself.

As if to echo her words, just as the two guards were about to set her up, there was a sound at the door: "Wait, I have something to say." Voice.

It's my sister, Mai Fang looked at the gate in surprise, I haven't seen her for a few days, my sister seems to have lost weight, I blame myself for not protecting her, I have to let her stand up for herself, if you can't avoid a beating, you must protect her.

This was an accident, Xiao Quanzi didn't dare to let people in without permission, he glanced in the direction of Zhou Yue twice, and when he saw the master nodding, he raised his hand to let people in.

It's a little girl again, with a thin body, a pair of big eyes, and she doesn't look like a maid, is there another lady in this courtyard besides Qi Ningshan?

Xiaoquanzi wanted to wait for Mai Xiaohuan to introduce himself first, and then think of countermeasures, where did he think that Mai Xiaohuan ran directly to the maid who was about to be punished, pulled the person up, and the two walked over arm in arm.
