Chapter 15: The Steward Goes to Prison

As soon as Han Xiaoxiao arrived in Zhuangzi with the embroidery girl and the child, he saw a few subordinates wearing patched clothes, pointing at them with a sad expression.

"Yo! How long have we been gone, are these people going to rebel?"

He Sifeng was about to pass over as he spoke, but Han Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes and stopped the person.

"Even if it's a rebellion, these people shouldn't trouble me, they want me to bring down the steward, it seems that something happened in this courtyard, let's be careful later." ”

He Sifeng felt that it made sense, so he didn't say anything more, and took the embroidery girl and the child to the backyard.

At this time, the steward didn't know where to run out, and looked at Han Xiaoxiao very flatteringly.

"Where did the second young lady go in the morning? ”

Han Xiaoxiao looked left and right silently, and saw that the faces of the people on the side were very ugly, not so much afraid of her, but afraid of the steward in front of her.

"I'm just going out for a walk, is there anything important about you looking for me?"

The steward smiled stiffly, and walked towards the hall with Han Xiaoxiao, "What's the matter! It's that you left without eating much in the morning, I'm really worried!"

Han Xiaoxiao was very careful all the way, and he relaxed when he saw that it didn't look like someone was ambushed here.

"What's this, you just do your own thing, didn't I ask someone to bring you a message yesterday? Are the shelves and threads for weaving ready?"

The steward's cheek twitched, and he vaguely agreed a few times before fooling it over.

Han Xiao knew that there must be something wrong with this, but now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, it is really not a good time to ask for guilt, so he can only suppress the doubts in his heart.

The steward talked a lot of messy things, and Han Xiaoxiao was annoyed when he heard it, but he wanted to see what tricks this person had, so he endured it for a while.

When she couldn't help it anymore, Ah Fu's voice came from the door: "Dad, I have already bought the pastry you said, you can see if it is sent to the second lady." ”

The steward was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly glanced at Han Xiaoxiao, and said loudly: "What else to send! Isn't the second lady here?"

Ah Fu staggered in, and saw Han Xiaoxiao sitting upright on the main seat, and almost knelt down with weak legs.

The steward was afraid that he would spoil his own business, so he hurriedly took two steps forward and brought in the plate in his hand.

"Second Miss, try it, this thing is not easy to find in Zhuangzi, and I also found it last night. ”

Han Xiaoxiao lowered her head and saw a few pieces of crystal clear rose-patterned pastries placed on the plate, even if they were far away, they could smell the sweet and greasy floral fragrance.

"This thing is for me?"

The steward smiled reluctantly, and pushed the pastry forward diligently: "There are all minions in this village, of course such a good thing is for you." ”

Of course, Han Xiaoxiao is not a fool, and he has seen a lot of such obvious means, so he shook his head helplessly.

"In that case, please let you two try it for me! If it is not poisonous, it will be a reward for you to taste, after all, this thing is quite rare. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two people on the ground were pale, and before they could speak, they heard a series of footsteps at the door.

"You can't eat it! The two of them poisoned the pastry!"

Han Xiaoxiao glanced at it with some surprise, and saw that those people wearing patched clothes and thin faces with yellow muscles were all blocked at the door.

Their clean eyes were full of worry, and they even walked in and swept the snacks on the table to the floor.

The steward didn't know whether he was scared or angry for a while, and he stood wilted and speechless.

Han Xiaoxiao nodded with great satisfaction, and found that the person who swept the pastry to the ground was the person who brought him food last night, and he was full of emotion for a while.

"I saw that you were timid and afraid last night, but I didn't expect to have this kind of courage today, it's really not easy. ”

The man scratched his head and said very embarrassedly: "We are all slaves who sell ourselves, and if we die, we will die, but you are the master, and you must not die here!"

Han Xiaoxiao had never heard this kind of statement in the Dragon Palace and the Heavenly Palace, and he was very uncomfortable for a while, so he could only nod indifferently, thinking that this world was really terrible, obviously they were all a kind of race, and they had to be divided into different people.

The steward knelt on the ground and gritted his teeth as he looked at the scattered snacks.

"This thing was brought in by Ah Fu, I don't know that it is poisonous, and I hope that the second lady will punish Ah Fu well, and you must not wronged me!"

Han Xiaoxiao just didn't like this steward, but people die for money, birds die for food, and she still has some understanding of what the steward does, after all, there is always a price to pay for living better.

But after hearing this, she was already very disgusted with the steward, and put the teacup in her hand heavily on the table.

"What do you mean by that? Ah Fu is your son, are you sure you want to throw this charge on him?"

At this time, it was too late to regret it, and the steward turned his head not to look at Ah Fu's disbelieving eyes, and nodded quickly.

Han Xiaoxiao sighed twice and knocked on the table, "Let's come out when you're almost done!" Send these two people to the official mansion, and our courtyard will be so clean and clean." ”

He Sifeng walked in from the door and explained softly, "It's not because you didn't order! ”

Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, the steward gritted his teeth and viciously put the knife on Han Xiaoxiao's neck.

"I'll see who dares to come over today! You don't want your own life, don't you even want the life of your master?"

Han Xiaoxiao didn't expect this person to really break the jar, and he didn't dare to move for a while, He Sifeng looked at the two of them carefully with wide eyes, as if he was afraid that the steward would hurt Han Xiaoxiao.

Everyone was quiet for a while, and the atmosphere in the entire hall was inexplicably tense.

A crisp voice rang out from the roof not far away.

"You are really interesting, you can do this kind of thing on the territory of our yamen, it's really terrible!"

The steward paused for a moment, and before he could say anything, he saw a dazzling silver light fly over, and then there was a pain in his wrist, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a sound.

At this time, He Sifeng reacted, kicked the steward into the corner, helped Han Xiaoxiao and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

"Tut-tut, brother, I think you have a problem with your eyes, how do you like such a dark and fat woman?"
