Su Wanning was the opposite of Mother Li, her expression was relaxed and happy, and she beckoned the little girl with the copper basin and tea cup to approach, and she rinsed her mouth with her own hands, and she didn't want to stay with the pickled people for a moment longer.

A few days later, Su Wanning made careful preparations and planned to go to Chunfeng's coffin shop to collect the net.

Although she arranged the troublemakers in advance, she would not miss Qin Ruoxuan's embarrassing show.

As soon as he reached the gate of the inner courtyard, a familiar fat figure covered the gate from the outside.

"Click".

It's locked.

Su Wanning didn't laugh angrily, which slave who didn't have long eyes dared to block her way openly?

Qingzhu saw that the momentum was not right, so he hurriedly ran to the ear room and called the mother-in-law who was guarding the door.

"Liu Sanniang, in broad daylight, why is the door locked? Miss is still in a hurry to go out! ”

Su Wanning thought back to the appearance and characteristics of the closed mother-in-law, who should be looking forward to catching the golden beetle son-in-law.

Could she be so stupid as to want to cut off her contact with Lu Jiarong by restricting her freedom?

Liu Sanniang was a little speechless for a while, Mother Li was a powerful celebrity in front of her master, she didn't dare to fight, but here she was a girl from Houfu, although she was not favored, she was half a master.

How can this be?

"Miss, the eldest princess said that it has been summer recently, so try to go out as much as possible."

Su Wanning had nothing to say about such a shriveled and weak reason for blocking the door, and she didn't want to talk to her more.

"Liu Sanniang, hurry up and ask someone to open the door. I have something important to do when I go out today, if you delay the preparation of the prince's birthday banquet because of you, the sin is not something you can bear. ”

Su Wanning lightly dropped a few words, and then chose a shady place under the porch to sit down.

She knows best that this group of people below is bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and relying on Mother Li's support for them, she dares to make things difficult for her, Miss Houfu.

However, once it comes to their own interests or makes things bigger, they will definitely run faster than rabbits, and forget about people like Mother Li and Wu Guannu.

Soon, Liu Sanniang greeted the person outside the wall.

The door opened.

Su Wanning sneered, it seems that Mother Li has also made sufficient preparations in advance.

If she shows weakness, the other party will naturally play with her and lock her in the inner courtyard, not allowing her to move half a step. It is equivalent to house arrest in disguise.

Qingzhu frowned, and pointed at the little guy who opened the door and Liu Sanniang with his hand: "You two slaves who deceived your superiors and subordinates, you dare to block Miss's way!" ”

Liu Sanniang and the little maid didn't dare to squeak, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

"That's it, Qingzhu, it's useless to talk to them more, let's go visit Mother Li first. Since the last time I said goodbye in Xuesitang, I haven't seen each other for four or five days. ”

Even if she has to leave the house today, Su Wanning still has the kung fu to clean up a Mother Li.

Su Wanning felt that this matter should still be carried out in front of her mother, after all, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and her mother has the right to know.

The maid passed on the eldest princess listening to music in the pavilion.

When Su Wanning approached, the sound of a side plug lingered.

Li's mother was working on the booklet in the gazebo next door, and she didn't know what it was about.

She sighed that she still knew too little about the Zhongbohou Mansion, so she would let her subordinates commit crimes, without the majesty of the master!

"What's the matter?" The eldest princess of Qingyun lazily half-squinted, leaning on the chaise longue.

"Mother, Mother Li can't stay." Su Wanning looked at the sleepy eyes of the eldest princess of Qingyun sincerely.

One of the attendants held his breath and took another heavy breath.

I must have been scared.

Who doesn't know that Li's mother is quite favored.

The eldest princess of Qingyun became interested and sat up from the soft collapse.

"Do you know what you're talking about? A girl who has not come out of the cabinet is so ruthless! ”

"Wanning knows that she is abrupt, but Auntie, please listen to my reasons, and it's not too late to blame." Su Wanning had long expected this to be the scene, so she didn't have any other emotions.

The eldest princess of Qingyun waved her sleeves and motioned to continue.

"First, Li's mother instigated Wu's wife to take away the rosewood; second, she teamed up with Liu Sanniang, the gatekeeper in the inner courtyard, to lock the door without authorization and block the master's way; Third, there was something strange in the school, and she took bribes from it. ”

Su Wanning listed Li's mother's crimes one by one, and she had already been extra kind to Wu's wife.

Mother Li saw that something was wrong, and immediately ran to the steps outside the pavilion and knelt down.

"Mother Li, can you plead guilty?" The eldest princess of Qingyun was still calm and light at this time, but she felt that Su Wanning was still angry about the matter of Huanghuali last time.

"The old slave pleaded guilty, the old slave was at fault first, and he shouldn't have listened to the nonsense of Wu's wife, let her move the book case to Xuesitang, and let the young lady lose her birthday gift."

Mother Li avoided the important and trivialized, anyway, Wu's steward had been relegated to the rank of a low-class slave, and she was easily unable to see her master, and no one openly confronted her.

"Okay, Mother Li, let's not mention the matter of Huanghuali for the time being. Then let me ask you again, why did you lock the gate of the inner courtyard today and block my way out? Su Wanning didn't see a trace of panic, and she was confident.

"That's because...... Because the eldest princess said before, there have been bandits fleeing outside the capital recently, and it is not appropriate to go out. "Mother Li confuses black and white.

Qingzhu opened his mouth after hearing this, but did not open his mouth under Su Wanning's signal, and turned to look at Mother Li angrily.

What the eldest princess said clearly before was that there were bandits fleeing at night, and it was not appropriate to go out.

Of course, Su Wanning didn't know what she said, but looking at Qingzhu and her mother's disapproving gaze, she also understood a little.

"Mother Li is really a slave who understands the general situation, and she puts the masters of the Zhongbohou Mansion first in everything, and she doesn't dare to slack off, and even the whereabouts of the master are controlled so accurately. I just suddenly had the idea of going out to buy a birthday gift for the prince, but you can ambush it in advance, and lock the door in front of me, so as to persuade me to return. For the sake of my safety, Mama Li has put in a lot of hard work. ”

The eldest princess of Qingyun frowned, she was the most taboo for her subordinates to monitor her master's movements.

Is this clearly a rebellion? The master's every move was controlled by the minions, and he got it?

"This ......" Mother Li was a little speechless, but she still held on, "The slave maid just happened to pass by, seeing that the sun was in full bloom after the summer, and the masters and ladies would not go out, so they simply closed the door for the time being, so as not to go wrong." ”

"Joke, I think Mother Li is really caught, and she is incoherent. Not to mention that the Zhongbohou Mansion is strictly guarded by the guards brought out by my father, what are the bandits? Besides, you, Diao slave, obviously saw the master, but still insisted on locking it, what? Mother Li has something to do, and she forgot the etiquette of waiting for the master? It's a shame to be able to teach a girl like Lady Li who knows the number of etiquette. ”

Su Wanning returned the words that praised Female Officer Li a few days ago as they were.

"Eldest princess, the old slave is guilty. I didn't immediately notice that the young lady was going out. Seeing that Qiang couldn't say Su Wanning, Mother Li played the family card and kowtowed to the ground vigorously.

"To tell the truth, the old slave's sister is unlucky, serving the princess in just ten years, you died in the world, leaving me, the surviving person, to mourn her every year. Now I, a minion, is also rude, and I actually bumped into Miss Master, which really shouldn't be. ”

After speaking, Li's mother slapped herself in the face twice.

Su Wanning looked away disdainfully, stupid, after fanning now, there will be heavier punishments waiting for you later.

The eldest princess of Qingyun finally spoke: "Wanning has been too naughty recently, and the mothers at home have been picked on by you, and now she has eaten the mother next to me." No matter how they don't know how to be polite, they are also old people who follow me, and I always know my temperament. You can forgive Mother Li's old eyes for being dizzy this time,"

"Oh, old eyes are dizzy." Su Wanning muttered to herself, her heart was full of sorrow, it was really a good show of deep love between master and servant.

"That's good, and for the sake of my mother's face, Wanning never mentioned the first two things. It's just the third thing, does Mother Li admit it herself, or is it up to me to say it? ”

Mother Li wiped the cold sweat dripping from her forehead, her back was cold, she was really unlucky recently, the young lady who has always been gentle seems to have opened up the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and her speech is too sharp.

"The old slave doesn't know, Xuesitang is just a group of schoolchildren without a father and mother, what oil and water do they have on them?"

Su Wanning knew that she would pretend to be confused, so she turned to Qingzhu and said, "Qingzhu, go and bring a southern account book in the dresser, Mother Li wants to face the reconciliation." ”

Mother Li laughed miserably: "Miss is really tormenting the old slave, the old slave can't stand such interrogation by the young lady, I'm afraid that I will be convicted in the end." The eldest princess, you can be aware of everything, protect the life of the slave, and go to your sister's grave to burn a stick of incense in the future. ”

"Don't be afraid, Mother Li, and let Grandma comment, it's good or bad to make this matter clear. Otherwise, if other subordinates learn it in the future, it will also ruin the family style of the Zhongbohou Mansion. ”

With infinite expectation in her eyes, Mother Li looked at the eldest princess Qingyun who was sitting precariously.

The eldest princess of Qingyun rubbed her temples, looking very embarrassed.

"Family matters are difficult to decide, if you two can't come up with strong evidence, don't mention this matter again."

Mother Li's heart is weak and hard-mouthed, her face is gloomy with a hint of a smile, "It must be that the old slave has not done well enough during this time, so that Miss Wanning has a grudge in her heart, it is better to take this opportunity to say it, the old slave must keep it in mind." ”

"Mother Li is polite, whose problem is it will naturally be clear when the booklet arrives."

Su Wanning also wanted to be glad that Mother Li was a person who only did superficial work, and the unfair treatment of the schoolchildren in the school hall made her grasp the handle.

In the past few days, when I have nothing to do, I followed the clues and found a surprising secret.

Although there is not much evidence in her hand, it is enough to make the character of Mother Li disappear into the Zhongbohou Mansion.

Qingzhu went for half an hour, came back with a royal blue book, and handed it to Su Wanning.

She took the booklet, her slender fingers turning the first page, and read it out slowly.

"Jiangnan Li Ji Cotton Cloth Village, sold 300 pieces of cloth in May last year, and 30,000 flows. Wanning would like to ask Li's mother, why does the cloth village under your name sell cotton cloth in early summer, one hundred taels per horse? Why is it that only this month has a lot of income, and the rest of the months have a total of less than five hundred taels? ”
