This sister can deal with it, saying that she rebelled, she really rebelled

Nanny Li was a little surprised. After all, she had also heard about Duke Cheng's mansion coming to withdraw the engagement a few days ago. She thought the Duke would be very concerned about it, but she didn't expect...

Shang Yunlan read the surprise from Mammy Li's expression, and smiled slightly: "Mammy is too worried, my merchant's daughter, it's not anyone else's turn to complain. I want to recruit An An, she has been The most important thing is to be happy, and the big family looks good, but in fact, life can't be more difficult. What I want to do most now is to recover my health as soon as possible, and be An An's backer for the rest of my life."

After hearing these words, Nanny Li couldn't help being moved - the world is difficult, especially for women, not to mention the daughters of powerful families, even the princesses of the royal family are mostly marriage bargaining chips, like the father-in-law who really loves girls Damn, I can count on one hand.

Seeing this, Shang Yunlan struck while the iron was hot and dropped the point: "So, even if An An wants to raise her face, I don't think it's a problem, but..."

Seeing Shang Yunlan's embarrassed face, Li Nanny quickly said, "Don't worry, my lord, it's what you say."

Shang Yunlan sighed pretendingly, feeling melancholy: "An'an brought back a special luthier named Yangmianshou yesterday. He was actually a spy, but that kid looks really... really a disaster. From tomorrow, I want to ask Nanny to take care of An An, and at the same time beware of that kid seducing An An."

Nanny Li smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry, since the county lord has a plan in mind, I will keep an eye on the luthier, so you can just rest assured."

……

On the morning of the second day, Qiao Xiuyu wanted to go to Mingyue Tower again.

Bai Lu stopped him neither humble nor overbearing: "I'm afraid the county lord has not woken up yet, and it is not suitable for Mr. Lang to go there."

Qiao Xiuyu looked at the already bright sky, and said doubtfully: "Although spring is coming soon, the sky is still getting late. I'm afraid it's the end of the hour (7-9 o'clock) at this moment. How could the county magistrate have not gotten up yet?"

He almost said brightly - "You, a guy with ulterior motives, don't you want me to see the county magistrate?"

Bai Lu: "...I really didn't lie to you. The county lord always gets up late, and he doesn't get up until the end of the day (around 11 o'clock). You should wait a little longer."

Qiao Xiuyu: "...?"

The end of time? ? ?Why is this man so sleepy?

But after thinking about it, the masters of this huge Zhen Guogong Mansion are only two brothers and sisters, so there is no need to greet them, they really can sleep as late as they want.

He sighed: "Then take me for a walk around the Duke's Mansion."

Bai Lu had already received orders from Shang Shaoyan to take people to other places except the interior of Mingyue Tower, Shang Yunlan's Yunxiao Courtyard, and the former residence of the old Duke and his wife, so he did not refuse.

Along the way, Qiao Xiuyu observed carefully.

The exotic flowers and plants in the atrium, the carved beams and painted buildings and pavilions all around...all are exquisite and luxurious.

When passing by the martial arts training ground, Qiao Xiuyu paused: "The county magistrate knows martial arts?"

Bai Lu smiled and said: "Exactly. Before the old Duke and his wife passed away, they had been teaching the county magistrate martial arts. The Duke is not in good health, so he can't practice martial arts. Besides, the merchant's ancestors said: 'Shang Young lady of the family, don’t practice female red, learn martial arts’. Mr. Lang may not know that the first head of the Shang family is a woman. The head of the county is very skilled, and three months ago he defeated five grown men by himself.”

Qiao Xiuyu nodded, but she didn't quite believe it.

Looking at Heyang's bright and slender appearance, he didn't seem like a person who could fight five against one, so he didn't take this episode seriously.

The two chatted while walking, and when they walked back to the atrium, they ran into Yan Xuening.

……

Yan Xuening has been so worried these days that she doesn't think about food and drink, and she can't sleep well. She is afraid that she will be sold by Shang Shaoyan tomorrow, and a small sedan chair will be carried into the Qing'an Hou's mansion, and she will live a miserable life from then on...

Fortunately, the letter from my mother arrived this morning, saying that she would come to see her marriage in a few days in person.

A few days ago, she was frightened by Shang Shaoyan, she didn't dare to leave the yard, let alone the mansion, but now that she has got her mother's approval, she has the bottom line, and she is in the mood to go out for a walk.

The maid who followed her was Yingge, the one Shang Shaoyan placed next to her.

Yingge followed Shang Shaoyan's orders every day to tell Yan Xuening how bad Shang Yunlan's health is now, and Yan Xuening completely gave up.

"Mother will come in three days, so I feel more at ease." Yan Xuening found a long corridor and sat down, "The Duke Cheng's family is so shameless that they dare to let their cousin be a concubine, regardless of whether they are worthy... ..."

If Shang Shaoyan was present, he would definitely praise "my cousin is more sensible". After all, Yan Xuening's family has no power, since she wants to take advantage of the Duke's mansion, she has to be good-looking and obey the mansion's arrangements.

Yan Xuening has figured it out in the past few days, knowing that Shang Shaoyan and herself are in a relationship of both prosperity and loss, so she is naturally at ease a lot; moreover, she is actually not very willing to wait for Shang Yunlan, a sick ghost, to come out of her filial piety. Expect.

Yingge soothed perfunctorily: "Yes, the Duke Cheng's mansion is really as big as a basin."

It was at this time that Qiao Xiuyu came into Yan Xuening's sight.

Yan Xuening has never seen such a good-looking man—except, of course, Shang Yunlan.This gentleman's temperament is noble and arrogant, and he has a gentle taste. He has a handsome face and a tall stature. I don't know which gentleman he is.

With that in mind, she asked the same question.

Of course Yingge knew who it was, and felt that there was nothing he couldn't say: "This is a luthier whose family has fallen, and was brought back by the county lord kindly, and wanted him to teach the art of piano."

The words were tactful, although Yan Xuening was not particularly smart, she could still understand the meaning behind the words, and naturally understood that this was Shang Shaoyan's face.

How did Shang Shaoyan keep such a handsome boy?

She was a little unhappy, thinking that Shang Shaoyan's actions would implicate her own marriage, and this was not a man from a wealthy family, no matter how good-looking he was, it was useless, Yan Xuening immediately lost face.

Not far away, Qiao Xiuyu's sharp eyes saw Yan Xuening's face-changing process, and a "?" was slowly punched out of her head.

Bai Lu on the side reminded at the right time: "That's Miss Yan who lives in the guest house, she's not very smart... When she came out of the yard, the county lord told her not to worry about it."

Qiao Xiuyu: "..."

Don't think I don't know you're holding back "not very smart".

Qiao Xiuyu thought to himself, he was rebellious and loved freedom all his life, how could he listen to He Yang?

Tell him to leave this not-so-intelligent person alone, right?

Oh, he is going to meet this person!

So, Bai Lu watched Qiao Xiuyu frowned, then raised her head, and walked towards Yan Xuening with graceful steps.

Bai Lu smiled slightly behind Qiao Xiuyu—as expected, the county lord was right, this gentleman's brain is not very good, if you want to tell him to go east, you have to let him go west.
