Chapter 55
In the blink of an eye, the day to go up the mountain to worship the ancestors is coming, this day.

In the hall, "Old lady, my wife has already made arrangements for the trip." Lei Shi lowered his head and made a cup of tea for the old lady. In the past, she was the one who arranged things in the mansion, but recently the old lady has a lot of prejudice against her. That's why Lei Shi had to ask for instructions everywhere to show his respect for the old lady.

"En." The old lady tapped the tabletop lightly with her fingers, signaling her to put it down, her gaze was always on the hall lightly, and she didn't even give Lei Shi a straight face, which made her feel a little uneasy.

"Ancestor worship is a major event in the Hou's Mansion, so my wife arranged the same carriage for the young ladies and young masters. I don't know what mother would like?" Mrs. Lei smiled, looking extremely gentle.

When the old lady heard this, she glanced at Lei Shi, "It's up to you, since you have already made up your mind, don't ask me." The tone was as distant as ever, with some deep meaning, Lei Shi's body froze slightly, The smile on her face froze immediately. "The daughter-in-law will go to arrange other matters first." After finishing speaking, Lei Shi wanted to stand up and salute.

"Yeah." The old lady closed her eyes lightly, and the faint smile on the corner of her mouth made her feel a little guilty.

My own arrangements should be flawless, and I can get rid of those two thorns in my eyes just by waiting for today.Lei Shi reminded herself to be calm and calm, just as she stepped out of the old lady's room, she was a little anxious, looking around from the corner of her eyes, but her face was pretending to be calm.

In the deserted garden, the breeze blows, bringing a little coolness.

There was a gloomy and cold light in Lei Shi's eyes, looking at the rippling lake, in front of him was a sour-looking servant, "Are you ready to tell you?"

The servant glanced his narrow eyes around before nodding his head, "Don't worry, Ma'am, the slave has already replaced Miss Six's driver with a distant relative from the countryside. He promises that after finishing this matter, he will take the money and fly away, and he will never reveal it." Half a point. At that time, I just wait for my wife to arrange."

Hearing this, Lei Shi smiled triumphantly, but she suddenly remembered something, "The bandit didn't say anything else, did he?"

The servant smiled, "Madam gave so much money, the bandit naturally knows what to do."

"Well, that's very good." Lei Shi's eyes lit up, "That's right."

"What are your orders, madam?"

"Arrange a confidant to watch by that cheap girl's carriage, remember, don't be found out, let him watch carefully if that cheap girl and the two maids have eaten the pastry we prepared!" Lei Shi said When the word "pastry" was spoken, there was a chill in his eyes.

"Yes, ma'am." Jia Ding bent over and stepped back.

Early the next morning, the entire Hou Mansion was busy.

"What? Aunt Wu suddenly feels unwell, so she won't go to worship her ancestors anymore?" When Mrs. Lei heard the news, her mood suddenly became gloomy. "What did the old lady say?"

"This is the meaning of Lord Hou. I want Fifth Yiniang to rest in the Hou's mansion." The servant at the side replied.

Lei Shi held the hand in his sleeve angrily, it's really hateful, he wasted this great opportunity, forget it, let's deal with that cheap girl first.

There was a long queue at the door, and there were more than a dozen luxurious golden carriages for ancestor worship, and boxes of prepared wine and food followed behind the team.

Before getting into the car, Seventh Miss Liu Yunyao suddenly walked towards Yun Shu with a smile on her face.

"Miss, it's Miss Seven." Seeing that it was Yun Yao, Yu'er approached Yun Shu vigilantly.She will never forget what Miss Seven did to her young lady last time. Since the last incident, Miss Seven has settled down for a while, but now it seems that everything is healed.

Yunshu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Don't be nervous." However, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Liu Yunli standing with Liu Yunhua not far away, staring closely at their direction.

"Sixth sister, this is the pastry that Yunyao carefully prepared for you. We have a long way to go, and Yunyao is worried that my sister will be hungry on the way, so I ate the pastry to replenish my strength." Her voice was sweet, but Yunshu still listened Out of which somewhat reluctantly.Yun Yao stretched out her hand and opened the bamboo basket in her hand, and ten exquisite pastries appeared in front of her eyes.

Yun Shu didn't answer, just quietly looked at the little girl in front of her.

Yunyao felt guilty, but remembering what the fourth sister explained, she mustered up her courage, "Sixth sister, what happened last time was Yunyao's fault, I hope sixth sister will not be angry with Yunyao, and accept these pastries. "As she spoke, her eyes turned red immediately, as if tears were about to fall at any moment, her eyes were filled with endless remorse, as if she had been wronged.

Yu'er and Chunxiang at the side looked at each other, this Miss Seven was so strange, then, will Miss accept or not take this pastry?

Liu Yunhua in the distance gritted his teeth, this Yunyao is really useless, she hasn't seen that bitch move for so long, if she doesn't accept the pastry, how can they perform this play? !

The anxious two people over there fell into Yun Shu's eyes, she smiled lightly, and stretched out her hand to take the basket in Yun Yao's hand, "Seventh Sister expressed her kindness, I will accept a few pastries, and the rest You take it back. Don't cry, we are going to worship the ancestors, you cry before you go out, and if you are seen by others, you will think that Sixth Sister is bullying you."

But at this time, Young Master Xi ran over from nowhere, and when he saw Yun Shu, he shouted loudly, "Sixth Sister, I want to play with you!"

Hearing Master Xi's voice, Yun Shu looked over, with a bit of helplessness in her tone, "Master Xi, run slowly, the ground is slippery in the morning, don't fall down."

"What are you afraid of? My mother said that there is nothing to be afraid of if you are a man. If you really fall, I will get up again." As he spoke, Young Master Xi had a manly look on his face, and reached out to pat his chest.

This appearance amused the people around, but Liu Yunyao took a step back, turned her head to look in Liu Yunli's direction, as if saying what should I do?
"This useless girl, tell her not to keep turning her head, it will make Yun Shu feel suspicious!" Liu Yunhua said in a tone of hatred for iron, not caring at all that Liu Yunli next to him is Yunyao's sister, and she didn't give any advice. She doesn't save any face.

"Yeah, Yunyao is really nothing." Yunli smiled awkwardly.

While talking to Yun Shu, suddenly, Young Master Xi saw a delicate small box in Yun Yao's hand, and moved over curiously, "Sister Yun Yao, what are you holding in your hand?"

"..." Yun Yao's face was a bit unnatural, she didn't dare to offend this second aunt's sweetheart, besides, he usually dismissed her when she saw her, so why did she come to join in the fun today, "It's nothing, just some pastries."

"Cakes?" Master Xi usually loves pastries the most, and the second wife often makes them for him, and this trip is no exception, "Let me see, are there any delicious ones my mother prepared for me?"

After all, before Yunyao could react, he stepped forward and lifted the brocade handkerchief that Yunyao had put on the pastry.

"Ah, it's so colorful, it looks so delicious!"

Yun Yao bit her lip, "Yes, yes, this is a variety of fruit flavors."

Could it be, he thought.

Sure enough, the next second, Young Master Xi stared at her expectantly, "Sister Yunyao, I like your cakes so much, can I exchange the ones my mother made for me with you?"

"Impossible!" Yun Yao blurted out without thinking, but when she just finished saying this, she regretted it, and there were many doubtful looks from all around.

Yun Shu on the side smiled and bent down, gently stroking the top of Master Xi's hair, "Master Xi, don't be naughty, if you want to eat, Sixth Sister will give you something."

This frightened Yun Yao quite a bit, she hurried forward to stop her, "No, Sixth Sister, Yun Yao should exchange hers with Young Master Xi, these cakes were prepared by Yunyao for Sixth Sister, there are still some leftovers anyway. , give it to Master Xi."

"Really?" Hearing such a result, Young Master Xi blinked his eyes happily, and he shouted, and a maid trotted over with a small basket in his hand.

"Of course, here it is." Yun Yao was afraid that Yun Shu would repent, and hastily handed the cake in her hand to Young Master Xi, and exchanged the basket in her hand with the maid.

"That's great, Sixth Sister, then when we go up the mountain, Cheng Xi will come to play with you again!" Young Master Xi held the small box, his eyes narrowed into a smile.

Seeing Master Xi's happy expression, Yun Yao secretly thought, what are you afraid of?At best, there was some drug in the pastry. After eating it, Master Xi would just sleep a little longer, and it would not be a problem.At most, it was misunderstood because he was tired from walking the mountain road, and he just fell asleep.

As long as she finished what the fourth sister told her, it would be fine. Thinking of this, Yun Yao walked towards Liu Yunli with lingering fear.

"Go back to your carriage, we're leaving." Yun Shu stretched out her hand to touch Master Xi's head, and smiled warmly.

"En." Young Master Xi returned to his usual expression at this moment, which was a little different from his innocence just now.

After settling down for a while, the Hou Mansion and his party set out on the road.

As soon as Young Master Xi stepped into his carriage, he was surrounded by a warm embrace.

"Xi'er, is the matter over?" The second lady kissed Young Master Xi's forehead affectionately, and wrapped her arms around his waist tightly, as if she was hugging the most precious treasure in the world.

The boy writhed mischievously in the arms of the second lady, "Hehe, Xi'er can definitely do what mother ordered, as long as she can help sister Shu."

As he said that, Master Xi took out the cake in his hand, and his big piercing eyes gleamed with innocence, "Mother, Xi'er really likes Sister Yunshu, Xi'er thinks she is the only one in this world. Apart from father and mother, the person who treats Xi'er the best."

"Look at you ghost spirit, don't cause trouble for your sister Shu!"

"No way!" Liu Chengxi's small mouth hung high. "But, mother, are those people going to embarrass sister Shu again?"

"Don't worry, your sister Shu is very smart."

The second lady opened the curtain, looked at the slowly moving team, and asked Xi'er to exchange for Yunyao's cakes. In fact, it was her intention. Miss Six's situation in the Marquis of Changrong was really dangerous. She had saved Xi'er before. I have to protect her no matter what.

Outside the carriage, a servant nodded at the second lady, and walked towards Liu Yunyao's carriage.You know, Lei Shi is not the only one who knows how to monitor.
