Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

Dongmei stepped forward and said, "Housekeeper, Mrs. Li has come a long way, so let's go in and talk."

"Oh, yes, yes, please come inside, old lady!" The butler came to his senses and hurriedly greeted the guests.

Everyone followed the big steward to walk in. Along the way, many servants looked over curiously. Although they didn't point fingers, their expressions were not very respectful.

After all, this is the Hou's Mansion, and the people who come and go are from powerful families. The Li family's clothes are obviously ordinary people's, which is simply too small.

Mrs. Li straightened her back, smiled and chatted with the big housekeeper, and walked in step by step. There was no panic or envy in her expression, as if she was a guest at a neighbor's house on weekdays.

The Li family walking behind her, including Jia Yi and Liu Yang, were well-behaved. Although their faces were full of curiosity, they didn't look around.

Of course, there is one exception, that is good news.

She put her arms around Dongmei's neck, looked to the left and to the right, smiling from time to time with bright eyes.

But for a two-year-old child, it is already sensible not to cry or make noise, who can expect her to be like an adult.

It has to be said that the Hou Mansion is really spacious and luxurious, with heavy eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, and it takes a lot of tea time to reach the main courtyard after walking down through the doors.

Because Lord Hou was not there, and there was no hostess in the Hou Mansion, the head steward welcomed everyone to the small flower hall for tea.

The maids brought tea and various snacks like running water. Everyone in the Li family picked up the tea bowls and took a sip, but they didn't touch the snacks, let alone show any signs of salivation.

This made the two maids guarding the door very surprised. They winked at each other, and when they looked up, they saw the big housekeeper looking over at them coldly, and they immediately backed out in fright.

The butler personally stepped forward, pushed the snack tray to Jiayin's hand, and greeted her.

"After walking this way, I'm afraid that the young lady is hungry, so let's eat some snacks to cushion my stomach. The Marquis also brought these snacks to the young lady before, and said that the young lady likes to eat them."

Jiayin looked at the old lady, saw the old lady nodded with a smile, she just took a piece, and thanked with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Housekeeper."

"Hey, miss, you're being polite." The butler was even happier when he was called uncle.

Li Er Er was thinking about the rumors, so he asked.

The butler hurriedly responded, "I also just received the news that those girls were taken away by the Emperor's men, but I've already asked people to inquire about what happened, and I'm sure they will send news back soon."

The emperor intervened?

Everyone was happy. Although Lord Hou was not in Xindu, there were still people protecting him.

The butler was also eloquent, and he knew that Master Hou treated the Li family differently, so he started doing business in the valley, harvesting in the fields, and chatting with the Li family.

Jiayin came to the city with a small goal. She saw that nothing happened for the time being, so she tugged on Dongmei's sleeve.

Dongmei understood, and took advantage of the gap between everyone's conversation, and said, "I'll take the little lady to the garden for a walk."

The big housekeeper hurriedly said: "I was negligent, I forgot about this matter, the young lady is young, I'm afraid she won't be able to sit still."

Mrs. Li smiled, "Children are naughty, and they are used to it at home, but they are causing trouble to the housekeeper."

After a few polite words, Dongmei left the main courtyard with Jiayin in her arms, and went straight to the back of the Hou Mansion.

She didn't stop until she reached a small courtyard near the back door of the Hou Mansion, took out a key from her pocket, and opened the copper lock on the courtyard door.

"Miss, this is the yard where Ye Shan and I usually live. Because it's always on Zhuangzi's side, this place will be locked and no one will come here. It's also closer to the back door..."

Dongmei lowered her voice and explained a few words briefly.

Jiayin jumped to the ground and carefully opened the door. Dongmei subconsciously turned around and looked around, worried that someone was walking around.

But before she could look around, Jiayin pulled her skirt, "Let's go back!"

Surprised, Dongmei bent down and hugged Jiayin, then looked at the closed courtyard gate with a troubled face.

Jiayin whispered a few words in her ear, Dongmei nodded, stepped forward and locked the door, and then took Jiayin to the garden.

There are rockery, various flowers and trees, small lakes and pavilions in the garden, which are very delicate and elegant.

But Jiayin missed her family, so she went back to the main courtyard after walking around.

Coincidentally, the people sent by the Hou Mansion to inquire about the news also came back.

It turned out that there was an uproar in the new capital, and some people thought they had seized the opportunity and secretly filed a complaint in front of the emperor.

In the end, the emperor was furious, but it was not because he was angry with Hou Ye for being greedy and lustful, but because he was slandered for no reason, so he directly sent people to arrest Hua Ruyue and others to go to the downtown area for questioning.

Hua Ruyue and the others would not dare to deceive the emperor even if they had the heart and guts of a leopard. All petty tricks and greed, in the face of absolute authority, were like snow in the spring, quickly melting and disintegrating.

So, the truth came out, all the heroes and beauties in the rumors, and all the grievances and hatreds, were all fake.

It's just a group of greedy and stupid dancers who are obsessed with Lord Hou and want to find a backer.

Hua Ruyue is not stupid at all, she has been shouting to respect the military lord, and to appreciate the military lord for fighting for the country, which is why she is so infatuated for a while.

As a result, she was clever again but was mistaken by her cleverness.

They were sent directly to the Southwest Border Pass to "labor the army", saying that they sang and danced for the soldiers and generals who had been guarding the Southwest all the year round, so as to comfort their loneliness and homesickness.

But everyone knows that this is just an elegant way of saying that they are destined to continue to do skin and meat business in the future, and it is still the kind that cannot collect money...

After hearing this, the Li family couldn't tell what it was like.

Sympathize with Hua Ruyue and the others, but that's not the case, after all, it's their own fault.

But for a group of women, this fate is really not happy.

The butler is a fine person, seeing this, he hurriedly arranged meals.

Mrs. Li wanted to leave, "Don't be busy, butler. We are just worried about Lord Hou. Come and see if we can help you. Now that the matter has been resolved, we will go back early."

The housekeeper still wanted to keep someone, and Li Laoer also said, "We met Mr. Wen on the way when we came here. He was also waiting for news. We always want to meet and talk to him. Today we know where the gate of the Hou Mansion is opened. In the future There is always a chance to come and go, this time is not bad.”

The housekeeper did not continue to stay, and everyone left the house quickly.

At this time, Dongmei mentioned that there were still some matters in the mansion, and she wanted to stay with Ye Shan for two days before returning to the villa.

Of course the old lady complied, took the good news, gave Dongmei a few words, and then got on the mule cart.

The mule cart ran into Mr. Wen not far away. Liu Zhiheng was a well-informed person. When Mr. Wen arrived at Liu's house, Liu Zhiheng had already got the details.

Mr. Wen didn't worry about Lord Hou any more, he simply asked the Li family a few words, put some snacks and food in the car, and then he left in a hurry and went to work.

The Li family wandered out of the city in a mule cart, facing the setting sun, and slowly walked home.

Jiayin sat in grandma's arms and ate some snacks, thinking that she had accomplished a great event, she felt extremely happy.

Her chubby hand held the snacks, and she fed them to grandma for a while, and then for dad and uncle.

The old lady soon became happy after being coaxed by her granddaughter, and nodded her little nose, "You, every time you go out together, do you just rush for these foods? What a greedy cat!"
