"Miss, the old lady summons you over."

The person who came was Cuiwen, Xu Yuan recognized her and knew that she was one of her cheap grandmother's personal maids.

Xu Yuan's eyelids jumped suddenly, Mrs. Xu was disgusted with herself, in order to see less of herself, she even avoided the morning and dusk, and suddenly called herself over, it was definitely not a good thing. She tried to calm down, "I'm in trouble, I'll clean up and go over for a while." ”

Xu Yuan called Xiaolan, whispered a few words, and went out with Cuiwen alone.

Cuiwen was slightly surprised and asked, "Miss, why don't you bring a maid?" ”

Xu Yuan explained: "There are still some trivial things for her to do, but now she is the only one left in the courtyard, and there is no one to take her." ”

Cuiwen didn't suspect after hearing this, and walked in front of her as usual to lead the way, but Xu Yuan, who was following behind, had a cold sweat on her back.

The main courtyard was dead silent, although there was no sound in the past due to the strict rules, but it was not as lifeless as this. The maid and the woman were almost all let out, the yard was empty, the grass and trees were withered, there was no trace of popularity, and the sultry breath seemed to condense time.

Xu Yuan lowered her head, trying to hide herself in the shadow of the emerald pattern.

"Greetings to the old lady."

"Good boy, get up, don't be polite." Mrs. Xu said cordially, and motioned to Mama Zheng to help Xu Yuan sit down, but she didn't lift her eyelids.

Mama Zheng had a lot of strength, and Xu Yuan was almost pressed to sit down. The alarm bell sounded in her heart, and she subconsciously straightened her back.

Sure enough, before Xu Yuan could think about how to open her mouth and say a few polite words, Mrs. Xu asked a little eagerly: "Do you know about this drought now?" ”

"Back to the old lady, the granddaughter can save it."

Old Madam Xu seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, sighed leisurely, and said helplessly: "Sister Yuan'er can save it." This drought has become more and more serious, our house, your father is not here, and the only thing you can rely on is the food stored before, and now it is about to be unable to support it. It doesn't matter if my wife is waiting for death here, you are still a child, I really can't bear you to wait for death here with me. ”

"I have a little rice grain left, take it with you, and go to your father."

Although it had been expected, at this moment, Xu Yuan was still disgusted by the shamelessness of this old thing. Mrs. Xu still has a few maids and grandmothers, but she can't afford to give her ten-year-old granddaughter a mouthful of food. If it weren't for Mrs. Xu's face being calm at the moment, if it weren't for Xu Yuan's core being replaced by the soul of an outsider adult, I am afraid that I would not be grateful, thinking that my grandmother did not dislike her, and even waited for death in order to live for herself, and then went to the world outside that was already a cannibal.

Looking for my father? How can a ten-year-old girl go thousands of miles away to find a man she hasn't seen for several years!

Xu Yuan sneered in her heart, and had the intention to make a mistake, but she pretended to be frightened on her face, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandmother! How does this make! I...... I am the daughter of the Xu family, how can I abandon my elders and live alone! As if he had experienced a lot of inner struggles, he generously said: "If grandmother insists on this, then at least let her granddaughter take Brother Ling!" I will take good care of my father's bloodline! ”

Mrs. Xu listened to the "innocent" words of the villain in front of her, and was thinking about how to come up with another set of high-sounding words, but found that the "generosity" on Xu Yuan's face had disappeared and was replaced by a calm smile.

Xu Yuan got up freely, her waist straightened, and said calmly: "It's okay if you want me to go out, I will never burden you, but I have a few requirements." ”

Although Mrs. Xu was surprised by Xu Yuan's sudden change and was slightly annoyed that a corner of her face was torn apart, she was not angry that this granddaughter was going to die, and said, "Tell me about this?" Sister Yuan is not afraid that she will not be able to get out of this Fushou Temple! ”

As soon as the words fell, Mama Zheng forced Xu Yuan back into the chair.

Xu Yuan didn't look flustered, her skirt covered her feet and her feet had actually begun to soften, and her little clothes had already been soaked in cold sweat, but she forced herself to calm down and said, "I'm afraid." So, I've already let my maid out of the house before. If I don't go to meet her within two hours, then she will go to the refugees to preach that there is still a lot of food hidden in Xu's mansion. ”

The people of the Xu Mansion are almost released, and it is not difficult for Xiaolan to sneak out. Mrs. Xu's face gradually turned a little blue, she knew that she should have called someone to strangle this little cub in the middle of the night, and finally told her son that she was not tolerant of the heat and died, and she should not let her live to this day for the sake of saving face!

Xu Yuan's thoughts are actually very similar to her, if it weren't for the hypocrisy of this "grandmother", who cares most about the so-called rules and etiquette, and has to take care of the good looks on her face, I'm afraid she would have killed herself a long time ago!

Mrs. Xu took the maid Cuiqin to Meixiangyuan, and after a while, Cuiqin came back and replied: "Old lady, that Xiaolan is indeed gone, I searched in the house, but I didn't find it." ”

Old Madam Xu waved her hand and said, "Got it, step down." After a moment of silence, he said to Xu Yuan: "What conditions?" ”

Xu Yuan climbed up the pole and said stubbornly: "First of all, give me the identity deed of my maid Xiaolan; Second, give me another handful of gold leaves and a bag of water. ”

Mrs. Xu was disdainful in her heart, she was really still a child, what was the use of gold in this situation, she should not eat or wear, but she was unwilling to remind this cheap, life-like cub, waved her hand, and motioned for Cuiqin to take these things to Xu Yuan.

One is too lazy to entangle with Xu Yuan, and the other is that she is also worried that her maid is talking nonsense outside, and under the old lady's signal, Cuiqin handed the thing to Xu Yuan very quickly.

Xu Yuan got up and took it, then took the so-called "last bit of dry food" from before, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, don't worry, I'll go back to the house to clean up a little and leave." ”

Under the "escort" of Mama Zheng, Xu Yuan returned to Meixiang Courtyard. changed into the old clothes that had been prepared a long time ago, sewed the gold leaf into it, put on the wrapper, and left the Xu Mansion neatly and without nostalgia.

Of course, in order to avoid Xu Yuan still saying something that shouldn't be said after she went out, Mama Zheng saw her go back after going out of the city with Xiaolan.

After returning to Xu's house, Mama Zheng said to Mrs. Xu: "Old slave look, that big girl, let Xiaolan's deed back." ”

"Oh, it's going to buy people's hearts, no wonder they're going to work for her." Old Madam Xu said lightly, with a faint pleasure on her eyebrows.

Back then, when Xu Huai brought the Mu family back to the house to settle down, the Mu family already had Xu Yuan's daughter, Xu Huai and she were raised outside the outer room for many years, and now the child is getting older, so he went back to the house to go through the door. Mrs. Xu saw that she had to conform to the rules the most, and she naturally hated the first-class in the outer room, and felt that she would lose her son's temperament.

My aunt is just a slave, so naturally she has no right to control the deeds of the people in her own courtyard, unless she is married in from outside the house. The Mu family entered the Xu Mansion alone, and they were not treated, so naturally there was no way to collect the hearts of the maids under them and leave something for their daughter to rely on.

And this Xiaolan is the son of the Xu Mansion, and her old son was beaten to death by Aunt Mu in anger for offending Xu Yuan.

Old Madam Xu wanted to see how Xiao Lan would treat her father and the daughter of her enemy when she was uncontrolled.
