"Haha, that's what Miss said." Qiao Qixin saluted and said, "It's getting late, Miss should go back to the house quickly, Mother Liang should be worried." ”

Li Zhirou lowered her eyes and looked at Qiao Qixin, and after several entanglements, she finally didn't talk about it again, "Well, you should go back earlier." ”

"Good night, Miss."

After finally getting out of Li Zhirou's place, Qiao Qixin looked left and right at the pavilion corridor she was in.

On the left is the way from which she came, so Qiao Qixin decisively walked to the right - in the opposite direction.

The Li Mansion is so big, it's normal for her to be unable to remember the road and go wrong, right?

Georgette walked a little along the pavilion on the right, passing through an arch and coming into a courtyard.

"Who are you?" A maid with a basin of water asked.

Qiao Qixin's face showed a suitable panic, and she cringed a little and said, "My name is Qixin, the new Li Mansion." ”

The maid put down the basin of water, frowned and came to Qiao Qixin to look her up and down, "Qixin? The new maid? I'm a maid beside Mrs. Li, why haven't I seen you? ”

"You can't have snuck in through a banquet! What do you want to do in Lee House! The maid stared at Georgette solemnly.

Hey? Is it so obvious? Qiao Qixin was a little puzzled.

When he was about to take Li Shangshu out to block the gun, a voice suddenly came from the room on the side, "Lan Yue, Madam asked you to bring her in." ”

"Got it, got it." Lan Yue turned around and said, "Let's go, Madam called you." ”

Madam? This is Mrs. Lee's yard?

Qiao Qixin said in her heart.

She followed Lan Yue into the room, where a well-dressed woman was sitting on a chair and looking at Qiao Qixin.

Qiao Qixin was a little stunned, and Lan Yue only reacted after kicking her.

Qiao Qixin hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I've seen Mrs. Li." ”

"Get up." Mrs. Li said, "What are you doing breaking into my yard?" ”

"Back to Madame, the slave doesn't know that this is Madame's yard. The reason for the mistaken entry was that the Li Mansion was too big, and the slave maid was lost, so that's it. Qiao Qixin explained.

Mrs. Li looked at Qiao Qixin, as if she was thinking about whether to believe her words.

"Where's Lai's mother?" Mrs. Li asked suddenly.

"Mrs. Hui, Lai's mother seems to have gone to the banquet to help, and the slave has not seen her since the evening." Georgette tried to make her words sound as real as possible.

Mrs. Li's eyes narrowed and she asked, "Why are you getting lost when you stay in the courtyard?" Even if Lai's mother wants to go out, she should have prepared things for you. ”

Qiao Qixin knelt on the ground, feeling oppression for no reason.

For a while, she began to rejoice that in the etiquette, the slave and maid could not look directly at the master when talking to the master.

At this time, if she raised her head and looked at Mrs. Li, it was estimated that she would not have the energy to spend on expression management, and it would be good to be able to manage her tone.

“…… Mrs. Hui, it was Miss Li Zhirou Li, who sent someone to lead the slave maid to her courtyard. The slave and maid were forgetful, so they got lost, so they accidentally broke into Mrs. Li's courtyard, and the slave and maid should die! "Georgette's head was almost touching the ground.

Mrs. Li still looked at her, and she didn't seem to have dispelled her suspicions.

After a while, Mrs. Li relented, "Okay, Lan Yue, send the people back." In addition, he told Lai's mother that from tomorrow, she only needs to watch Qixin, and she doesn't need to interfere in anything else. ”

"Yes." Lan Yue bowed her head and said.

Lan Yue stretched out her hand and pulled Qiao Qixin's clothes, urging, "Let's go, didn't you hear Madame's words?" ”

Qiao Qixin's legs were a little numb, but she still stood up and left Mrs. Li's yard with Lan Yue.

The candle flame is shadowed in the cage.

Mrs. Li propped her head and rhythmically tapped her index finger on the armrest of the chair.

"He Yue, you say, is her words credible?" Mrs. Li suddenly spoke.

He Yue on the side thought about it and said, "The slave maid thinks that the credibility is not high, and Madam can summon Lai's mother and Miss's personal maid to ask for clarification." ”

Mrs. Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and she muttered, "It's time to find someone to ask...... He Yue, you go and call the master, just say, I have something about Zhirou to discuss with him. ”

"Yes, ma'am."

——

Qiao Qixin was led back to the small courtyard by Lan Yue, and she tried to pull calves with Lan Yue along the way, but Lan Yue looked serious and didn't answer at all.

"Mother Lai, when will you come back?" Lan Yue's face was serious.

Qiao Qixin was speechless and held her forehead, "I don't know, it may be the middle of the night." ”

Since returning to the small courtyard, Lan Yue has not left, and Qiao Qixin also tried to let her into the room, but she just didn't listen, so she had to be frozen in the courtyard.

Even if she was frozen alone, she had to wait in the yard with Qiao Qixin.

The two waited until almost midnight, and after Qiao Qixin was about to fall asleep with her head propped up, they heard Lai's mother humming a song and walking this way.

"I'm so happy, I'm so happy...... Lai's mother led a roast duck in her hand and opened the courtyard door happily.

In the courtyard, the two girls who had been waiting for her for a long time stared at her with a little sadness.

"Oh, isn't this Lan Yue, come on, come on, mother-in-law has a roast duck here, let's eat it together......" Lai's mother recognized Lan Yue, although she didn't know why Lan Yue came, but it was always right to please the maid beside Mrs. Li.

"No," Lan Yue refused directly without looking at it, "Mrs. Li asked me to tell you that from tomorrow, you only need to watch Qi Xin, and you don't need to interfere in anything else." ”

"Huh? No, this, what does this lady mean? Lai's mother didn't understand, but she felt as if something very serious had happened.

Lan Yue glanced at Lai's mother, "You just need to stay in the yard and watch Qi Xin all the time, and the monthly money will be paid." ”
