Chapter 25 Flattery (3)
When Founder heard about the people coming from the capital, he became a little impatient, and cursed secretly, "Here comes another troublemaker for me!" But after thinking about it carefully, he felt lucky, "Fortunately, it's a guard, not a girl."

Duke Founder and Madam Lan frowned and did not speak. The maid was worried and added in a helpless voice, "The guard said that his aunt sent him here, and there is something urgent..."

Mrs. Lan sneered again and again, the founding father was furious, and wanted to kill someone.Can't see Lao Tzu going his way, right?Deliberately making trouble, right?What's urgent? Now that the world is peaceful, what urgent matter can the Chang family have? !

"Bring people in." Mrs. Lan ordered concisely.

Feeling relieved, the maid respectfully agreed, took a few steps back, turned around and went out to deliver a message.

Mr. Founder was sitting on pins and needles, and Mrs. Lan looked cold and ignored him.

Not long after, the maid brought him here.The guard was dressed in black and was travel-stained. When he saw Duke Founder and Mrs. Lan, he fell down and bowed down. "Master, Madam, Miss... suddenly fell into an evil spirit. I'm afraid it will be more or less ominous...", he Choked up and said.

Huo Di, the founding father, stood up and shouted sharply, "What's wrong with Miss?"

Bewitched, okay, how could Zhaoxia be bewitched?

The guard kowtowed, and answered bravely: "The villain doesn't know the details. The eldest lady was playing in the garden, but suddenly she fell unconscious on the ground. I invited the doctor, but the doctor was helpless. Auntie In a panic, I sent the villain out of Beijing at night to discuss ideas with the Duke..."

The founding father's face turned livid, "I can't even look down on a child, a bunch of trash!"

Why let Zhaoxia walk in the garden alone?It's a newly built garden, so there's something unclean about it.This group of women eats all day long and has nothing to do. They can't even look down on a child!
The guard dared not speak, kowtowed repeatedly.

Mrs. Lan looked at it coldly for a while, then said calmly, "You have come from a long way, you have worked hard, go down and rest first. The Duke will make up his own mind about the eldest lady."

The guard fell on the ground and did not move.

Founding Duke was furious, "Are you deaf, Madam ordered, can't you hear?"

The guard trembled, hurriedly kowtowed a few times, and retreated in embarrassment.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Founder couldn't sit still, and turned around the room, "Ma'am, Zhaoxia is fine, is there anything wrong?" He said absentmindedly.

Mrs. Lan looked at him patiently, and suddenly asked, "How old is Zhaoxia?"

Founding Duke was startled, "Are you more than ten?"

Seeing Mrs. Lan's unkind eyes, he muttered guiltyly, "Ten years must be too much, not more than twenty..."

Mrs. Lan really didn't bother to talk to him.Chang Shao is the boss, and he is less than twenty this year.

Mr. Founder stretched out his hand and made a comparison in front of him, "The last time I saw her was two or three years ago, and she was so tall back then."

Ever since he met Chang Zhaoxia last time, he was ordered to go to war and never returned home.

Mrs. Lan gave him a blank look, and ordered someone to call the steward over, and told him to prepare the carriage overnight, and set off for Beijing the next day.

The founding father was overjoyed, "Ah Yue, I knew you had the best heart!"

Mrs. Lan took a sip of tea slowly and ignored him.
