Chapter 1619: Tiger Girl 103
It seemed that there was a misunderstanding, so Xi Ning explained that the reason for letting them hold the contract was that if there was something wrong with the Zhenguo General's Mansion, they could put aside the relationship.
The day before yesterday, it was said that silver could be used to redeem one's life. Most of the people in the house were running for their lives and took silver to redeem one's life. Those who don’t have money will borrow money everywhere for fear of leaving late.
In Zhu Lan's courtyard, all the maids and women below the second class were gone. Among the first and second class maids, except Xia He, the other winter plums, autumn leaves, spring rain, and Yanhong all stayed.
The last thing she expected was that Qiuye would also stay. After all, she had relatives in the capital. Those who had no one left needed to find a place. She could go home after leaving the house.
After hearing this, the four maids broke into tears and took the deed of betrayal with smiles.
Dongmei was outspoken and put the deed of sale in her arms: "My slave, please keep it for now, and then return it to the young lady when the master and the others come back!"
Xi Ning... Is her place really so nice that she doesn't even want free redemption?
The remaining three maids almost said in unison: "Slave too!"
Xining...
When the four maids stood up, someone knocked on the window outside and opened it. It was a secret guard.
Zhao Geng and Qiutian didn't know what he was busy with these two days, but he left enough secret guards. Otherwise, during the fight yesterday, how could the Zhenguo General's Mansion have defeated the Rongguo Duke's Mansion.
The secret guard gave two messages.
First, General Zhao and his son are all fine in the prison, because the Dali Temple Minister has been "taken care of" by the secret guards in the middle of the night, and personally asked the prison chief not to be embarrassed, and treated him with good food and good food. As for the two hundred taels of silver that Mrs. Zhao asked someone to send every day, she kept them.
Apparently, they waited until General Zhao returned and returned them together.
Article 2: After the official vomited blood and fainted in the court hall, he never left the palace again. The queen did not come out of the palace, and the imperial doctor also did not come out after entering. The entire palace was surrounded by official guards. Yesterday, the imperial doctor's order came out once, and he was surrounded by people asking how the officials were doing. The imperial doctor refused to say anything, but from the looks of it, the official's health was very bad.
Finally, the secret guard gave a message: "The eldest son of the Zhou family, Zhou Zexian, is here. He is meeting with Mrs. Zhao in the living room. I don’t know what to talk about."
After finishing speaking, Qiuye quickly handed over some loose silver. After the secret guard got the silver, he jumped up and jumped up to the roof.
Qiuye frowned: "Don't let Master Zhou come here to cancel the engagement..."
If the Zhenguo General's Mansion is overturned, even if they are just engaged but not yet married, it will have some impact on their career. It is only human nature to come and cancel the engagement at this time.
Dongmei got angry when she heard this: "Dare you! Miss is the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. He, a young scholar without an official position, dares to be picky. If he wants to withdraw, it is also Miss who wants to withdraw from his marriage. Let's go and have a look. I dare to say that I will withdraw." Dear, I will beat him out with a broom.”
"Hey~" It was too late for Xi Ning to stop her. The three maids rushed out angrily. They were probably not this angry after their engagement was annulled.
Xining quickly summoned Qiuye: "Follow me quickly and tell them not to act rashly. If they cause trouble, I really don't want them anymore."
"Hey~" Qiuye pulled up her skirt and ran out.
Xining looked out through the window and saw Qiuye stopping Dongmei and others before they left the yard. After saying a few words, Chunyu walked back, seemingly not wanting anyone around her. The remaining three people looked around and walked towards the wall.
There were some brooms and dustpans for cleaning the yard beside the wall. Each of them took a big broom made of bamboo branches, and even Qiuye took one. The three of them carried the brooms and went out.
Xining...
Even Qiuye was unreliable, and Xining could only use a whistle to call the secret guard.
The secret guard was stunned after hearing this. You must be right, he is a secret guard, and it was the first time for the young lady to use the whistle. Even if it was not murder or arson, it was just to follow the whistle to investigate. He actually stopped the maid from doing something stupid...
He was a little embarrassed. Even if he covered his face, he knew it was him. On weekdays, he could not see anyone who looked up and looked down: "Miss, they are all yours. If they don't listen, whether the little one is knocked unconscious or tied up, this will happen more or less. Otherwise, call a few Mother-in-law. "Avoid the suspicion between men and women at this time? Xining simply gave him a reassurance: "Knock him out if he should, and tie him if he should. If they make a fuss, you can marry whichever one you think is okay. I'll make the decision."
The secret guard's eyes suddenly lit up, and he bowed: "Young man, I will definitely fulfill my mission." Then he jumped out of the window and jumped out of the courtyard wall in the blink of an eye.
Xining... is another one who refuses to leave even if there is a door open, and specializes in jumping over windows and walls.
Thinking that the young lady was going to be annulled, Chunyu didn't say it, but she showed her displeasure on her face. She couldn't hide it, her mouth was pursed when doing needlework, and the patterns on her purse were poked with needles as if they were on the soles of shoes.
After a while, Qiuye came back with a blushing face.
It turned out that Zhou Zexian did not come to cancel the engagement, but wanted to advance the wedding date and get married tomorrow.
If Zhao Yinghong is married, she is not from the Zhenguo General's Mansion. Moreover, since Zhou Zexian has no official position and no position, the officials should not pursue him further.
Mr. Zhou and his wife were out of town, so he would ask someone to bring General Zhao back as soon as something happened. If they took the water route, they could arrive at midnight at the earliest, or tomorrow at the latest, so that they could catch up with the wedding. It’s just that the wedding may have been a bit hasty, which would have wronged the bride.
Mrs. Zhao was moved and reminded that if this was the case, Zhou Zexian might not be able to have an official career in this life.
Zhou Zexian stated that if the officialdom is really so dark, it would be a good thing not to be an official for the rest of his life. It is considered a blessing in life to be able to get along well with someone who is destined to grow old together.
Mrs. Zhao was almost in tears. She kept saying that she was a good son-in-law, but she still didn't dare to make the decision. She asked Qiuye to come over and ask her what she meant.
Xining looked back and asked, "Where are Dongmei and Yanhong?" They couldn't have been tied up or knocked unconscious by the secret guards, right?
Qiuye's face became redder and redder: "We were stopped by Tian Qing on the road. Sister Dongmei attacked him from behind and knocked him unconscious with a broomstick."
The secret guard was knocked unconscious, Xining...
She didn't even know the name of this secret guard, but these maids were quite familiar with him. If she wasn't very familiar with her, how could she let Dongmei succeed in a sneak attack and knock her out.
"Sister Dongmei stayed to take care of him. Yanhong and I went to the living room and hid behind the screen to eavesdrop. When we heard that my uncle was not here to cancel the engagement, but to marry the young lady as soon as possible, Yanhong was so happy that she knocked down the screen."
Xining...
"Before Yanhong fell, she pulled me, causing me to fall with her."
Xining covered her forehead: "Did Young Master Zhou see it?"
Qiuye lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong: "Yeah."
Xining held on to her last hope: "You didn't bring the broom into the living room, did you?"
"If you bring it in, just hold it in your hand. Otherwise, if my uncle comes to break off the engagement, what will he be hit with?"
Xining...
You can imagine how unforgettable the scene was when the screen was knocked down and two little maids holding big brooms fell out from behind. They were both her personal maids.
"Miss, don't worry. My uncle and madam didn't blame me. Madam asked the slave to come over and ask the lady what she meant." Qiuye lowered his head so that his chin was close to his chest, his voice sounded like a mosquito, and his face turned red.
