On the main road, a horse-drawn carriage galloped by.

Chen Zhinan rode a horse and followed closely around the carriage with several family members.

"Mother, when you turn the mountain road in front of you, you will almost reach Qiliang City." Chen Zhinan said happily, "My father and grandmother must have been waiting for a while. ”

In the carriage, Mrs. Chen leaned weakly on the cushion and said "um".

It was a year and a half before Mr. Chen remembered to send a steward to pick her up, and she wrote several times to inquire, but Mr. Chen just shirked her health and worked the road.

This time, if it weren't for her son to pick her up in person, I don't know when she would have to wait until she would be able to come to Qiliang City.

She was lying in the car, and for some reason, she always felt uneasy in her heart.

Suddenly, the body shook and stopped.

"Who?" Chen Zhinan's voice sounded outside.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Chen sat up.

The housekeeper took out the curtain to check, and came back and said: "Someone is blocking the road in front, it looks like two little girls, maybe they were robbed on the road...... All I have left is my middle coat......"

Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, wearing a middle coat, which in the eyes of the world, was like seeing a person naked.

"Get them to the car." Mrs. Chen said hurriedly.

The housekeeper sighed, "Madame is kind-hearted, when you go out, you don't ask them what they do first, if you meet a bad person, how can you get it......?"

"What are you afraid of, there are Nan here, besides, they are just little girls, what else can they do to me!"

The housekeeper had to get out of the carriage and bring two little girls with her after a while.

"Thank you, Madame, for saving me." Among them, the girl with her maid's hair in a bun knelt down and thanked her, "If it weren't for you...... The slave and the young lady had to walk back to the city......"

Mrs. Chen owed a debt and said to the mother in charge on the side, "Let them get up quickly, and go find a piece of clothing for them first." ”

Even if the housekeeper's mother is a hundred reluctant, she can only go.

Chen Zhinan also seemed to be a little worried, and wanted to come forward to ask, but because he wanted to avoid suspicion, he had to send the little guy over to ask.

"I wonder where the two girls are from, and why are they here?" The housekeeper's mother saw that the two little girls were dressed neatly, so she asked.

The girl who looked like a young lady didn't speak, just hung her head slightly, and the answer to the question was still the maid: "The slave maid is the maid of the Su Mansion in Qiliang City, and this is our eldest lady......" But what happened to them was stumbling and not clarifying.

The housekeeper's mother still wanted to ask, but was stopped by Mrs. Chen with her eyes.

"It's not easy to go out, and I will send someone to send you back to Su Mansion after entering the city for a while." Mrs. Chen said that even if something happened to the two of them, it had nothing to do with their Chen Mansion, and Mrs. Chen still knew this.

The housekeeper's mother also stopped, and the carriage went all the way into Qiliang City.

Because there were outsiders in the carriage, Mrs. Chen sat up straight and did not lean on the cushion again.

She noticed that the woman who was called Miss of the two girls had been staring at her.

It is said that this is extremely unruly, but when she raised her eyes several times, she saw that the woman's eyes were clear, although she looked thinner, but those eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, which made her feel faintly uncomfortable.

So Mrs. Chen swallowed back what she wanted to say several times.

The carriage arrived at Chen's Mansion first, and the housekeeper's mother helped Mrs. Chen get out of the car, and Mrs. Chen instructed her son: "You will send the two of them to Sufu in a while." ”

Chen Zhinan was a little reluctant, but he had to agree.

"Ma'am, please stay."

Mrs. Chen had just gotten out of the car and had not taken a few steps when a woman's voice suddenly came from behind her.

I saw the woman dressed as a young lady get out of the car and stepped forward to give a salute, "Little girl, thank you Mrs. for helping you all the way, since you are in the city, you won't trouble this son, we can walk back." ”

Mrs. Chen glanced at her son.

Chen Zhinan looked embarrassed, he didn't expect the other party to be so refreshing, but it seemed that he was a little childish.

"This girl ......," he explained, but saw the girl step forward.

"Madam, the little girl has nothing to thank, and she has a word of gift before leaving." After that, he whispered a few words in Mrs. Chen's ear.

Mrs. Chen's face changed suddenly.

"Mother?" Chen Zhinan hurriedly stepped forward.

The woman took a step back, saluted Madame Chen again, and then left with her maid.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Chen Zhinan said nervously, he knew that his mother was not in good health, so he was careful along the way, for fear that something would happen, but now he arrived at the gate of the house, but there was a sudden accident.

"I didn't ...... It's okay......" Mrs. Chen helped the housekeeper's mother to stand firm, but her face was a little pale, "It's okay, let's go in." She turned and went into the house.

Chen Zhinan frowned, turned his head to look at the corner of the street, and watched the girl's figure gradually fade away.

But she felt faintly uneasy in her heart, what did she just say to her mother?
