Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 140

Wanyun came to find Madam Guan, although Madam Guan told Wanxia before leaving, but because she left in a hurry, she didn't say anything specific, she didn't even eat breakfast, and the little maid next to her said that Madam Guan Mammy borrowed the clothes of a ten-year-old maid and hurried away. Uladomin felt relieved after hearing this, so she sent Wanxia and Wanyun out to inquire about the situation.

No, Wan Xia went to the inner courtyard to inquire, and Wan Yun went to the gate.Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Suian mentioning Maixiang.

"Miss Mai Xiang is here?" Wan Yun asked.

"Here we come. Nurse Guan sent her away early in the morning."

"I can't, why don't you meet Fujin when you're here?" Wan Yun asked.

"Well, Sister Wan Yun, let's talk about this later. I was talking to Miss Mai Xiang's father. Sir, Madam Guan did send Miss Mai Xiang away early in the morning. You should hurry home." Suixi said.

Only then did Wan Yun see Ye Dafu and Ye Wufu standing on the side. Wan Yun has been with Uladomin for many years, and his ability to perceive words and emotions is much stronger than Suian, so he immediately changed his smile and said, "Master, you should go back first." , There must be some urgent matter yesterday, we don't know, he said that Madam Guan sent it back, there must be no mistake, and if you find that Miss Mai Xiang is not there after returning home, you can send a letter to our house again, and Fujin will definitely send someone Go get it back for you."

After hearing this, Wu Fu pulled Ye Dafu to leave.

"Please wait a moment." After Wan Yun finished speaking, he instructed Sui'an, "Sui'an, go and make a pot of tea for this master and put some snacks in the car."

"Don't bother the girl." Ye Dafu said.

"No trouble, I'll go right away, if Fujin knows that I just let you go away hungry, I won't bother." Sui An said and ran away.

After Ye Dafu left, Wan Yun learned from Suixi that Nanny Guan had indeed sent Miss Mai Xiang back, and she couldn't help but muttered in her heart, it didn't make sense to come here and even Fujin didn't see her.

Uladomin heard the news that Mai Xiang had come and gone from Wan Yun's mouth, and thought that Madam Guan had left with clothes that Mai Xiang could wear, and immediately guessed that something had happened to Mai Xiang, and, definitely It's a big deal.

After Yongen found out, he called Suixi in for the first trial. He knew that when the mansion opened early in the morning, a very handsome man aged sixteen or seventeen came to look for Madam Guan. After hearing this, Madam Guan returned to the mansion not long after. He called a carriage and followed the man away.

Not long after Mammy Guan's carriage left Mai Xiang's house, Yong En's servant rang the bell of Mai Xiang's house again.

They galloped here on horseback, because Yong En felt sensitively that Mai Xiang's accident was absolutely inseparable from him, and he had to come and find out in person.

When Yong En entered the door, Mai Xiang was already lying down, but when she heard Mai Huang say that a strange man had come to the house and asked to see her by name, she thought it was Huai Ci who was worried about herself, so she chased after her, and hurriedly put on a big woolen coat. lobby.

"Why are you here?" Mai Xiang was really surprised when she saw Yong En.

"What happened?"

Mai Xiang can't lie in front of Yong En again with Guan Nam , In addition, there are still many scratches on the back of the hand and the palm of the hand.

"Who did it?" Yong En asked with a dark face.

Mai Xiang quickly withdrew her hand.

"I don't know." Mai Xiang was telling the truth.

"For what?"

"That's all for now. I told my family that I met Madam Guan at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha yesterday. Madam Guan suffered from angina. "Mai Xiang didn't want to tell the truth.

Seeing Mai Xiang's expression of rejecting others thousands of miles away, Yong En was very annoyed. He was about to turn around and leave, but he really couldn't let it go. Love, after all, Mai Xiang is still a ten-year-old child, he is not unbearable enough to feel that way about a child.

As for what his thoughts are, I'm afraid he can't tell clearly, pity, appreciation, and a little bit of admiration, especially when he heard about Mai Xiang's ambition from Uladomina, he also decided to protect her. Hold Maixiang and give Maixiang a family-like care.

"Mai Xiang, listen to what I tell you..."

As soon as Yong En opened his mouth, he saw a woman in her thirties bringing in tea, and he paused.

"Mai Xiang, who is this?" It was the first time Zhao Shi saw such an expensive person coming to Mai Xiang, staring at Yong En for a long time, and asked directly, in her life dictionary, it was There is no such word as faux pas.

"Mother, this is Lord Belle, the husband of the Fujin who brought us things before, and he is here to pick up Madam Guan." Mai Xiang tugged at Mrs. Zhao's clothes.

"Oh, you are always Lord Baylor. It turns out that you have been taking care of us, Mai Xiang. We, Mai Xiang, have been able to get to know you. It is really a high incense in our previous life. This is the first time I have seen such a big official. Tsk tsk, Lord Baylor Ah, that's from the emperor's family..." Mrs. Zhao's eyes lit up, chattering while tugging at Yong En's clothes.

"Mother, I seem to be hungry, and I'm looking for you." Mai Xiang pulled back Zhao Shi's hand, and she didn't even bother to explain to Zhao Shi that Lord Belle is a title, not an official.

"Oh, it's okay, your brother has a second wife, I haven't seen Lord Baylor yet." Mrs. Zhao shook off Mai Xiang, and stretched out her hand to hold Yong En again.

Yongen was a little overwhelmed by Zhao's enthusiasm and straightforwardness, he had no experience in dealing with village women, who among the women and maids at home would respectfully stay away from him when they saw him?But the other party was Mai Xiang's mother, and he couldn't really lower his face to scold her, so he just looked at Mai Xiang for help.

It was the first time that Mai Xiang saw that the always calm, serious and cold Lord Baylor looked so embarrassing today. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he had to pull his mother over again.

"I'm leaving." Seeing that he had finally broken free from Mrs. Zhao, Yong En hurried out.

It is obviously inappropriate to ask some questions in front of Mrs. Zhao, and he has confirmed that Mai Xiang is fine, and also confirmed that Mai Xiang's attitude is not cooperative, so it is more appropriate for him to go back and find Madam Guan.

"Mother, what are you doing? He is a Baylor after all, so why are you dragging him around like this? Don't you know whether a man and a woman will kiss or not?" Seeing Yong En running away in a panic, Mai Xiang began to educate the Zhao family.

"Why don't you kiss me? Your child, you are still talking about me. Why are you not enthusiastic at all when you have such an expensive guest at home, and you still like to get along? Mom is entertaining guests for you. I'm happy, I've annoyed us, what shall we eat and drink from now on?" Mrs. Zhao didn't realize her mistake at all.

Mai Xiang was speechless.As soon as the two of them entered the room, they heard the bell ringing again. This time Mrs. Zhao hurriedly went to open the door, and said as she walked, "Maybe Lord Baylor is back again."

This time it was Ye Dafu and Wu Fu who entered the door. When Ye Dafu saw Mrs. Zhao, he hurriedly asked, "Is our daughter back?"

"Father, if you had to enter the door earlier, you would have seen Lord Baylor, my mother, Lord Baylor actually came to our house in person, tsk tsk, Lord Baylor is so pretty, but I dare not look up.. .”

Mrs. Zhao has not yet recovered from Baylor's surprise, and Pian Maixiang doesn't like to listen to her talking, so she finally met Ye Dafu, and hurriedly pulled Ye Dafu to show off. How could he remember why the other party went out?

"Mother, Mai Xiang..."

"Father, I'm back." Mai Xiang was also worried that Yong En would turn around, so she stood at the door and waited.

"Son, you're back, are you really back?" Ye Dafu threw off Mrs. Zhao, leaned on crutches and hopped up to Mai Xiang, looked at Mai Xiang, and his eyes turned red.

"Father, I'm fine, I'm really fine, don't worry." Seeing that Wu Fu was also at the side, Mai Xiang also looked at her with such concern, and hurriedly said.

Only then did Ye Dafu recall what Mrs. Zhao said just now, and asked, "Is what your mother said true? Has Lord Baylor come to our house?"

Mai Xiang repeated Nanny Guan's explanation.

Ye Dafu is not as simple-minded as Mrs. Zhao, if it is really like what Mai Xiang said, why should Lord Baylor come to his house?It seems that there is definitely something hidden about Mai Xiang's matter, even Lord Baylor was alarmed, what happened to this child?
"My mother, go and cook something for my fifth brother and me."

Wu Fu knew that Ye Dafu must have something to ask Mai Xiang, although he also wanted to know, but he was worried that Mai Xiang would be uncomfortable, so he said: "Brother, since Mai Xiang is fine, I will go to my mother-in-law's house first, don't let others pick her." Li, I will not come to the door as a son-in-law in the first new year. I will come back to check with you at night. "

"It's also the same reason, and send the carriage back by the way." Ye Dafu nodded hurriedly. Today is the day when my son-in-law goes to his mother-in-law's house.

After Wu Fu left, Mai Xiang and Ye Dafu sat on Mai Xiang's kang in the back room. Ye Dafu also held Mai Xiang's hand, first saw that Mai Xiang's hand was torn in several places, and then stretched Mai Xiang's sleeves, looking When we saw the scar on Mai Xiang's wrist, of course, I also opened the trousers to see the wound on Mai Xiang's foot.

"My daughter has suffered." Ye Dafu burst into tears.

"Father, it's okay. I didn't suffer much. I ran into a kidnapper at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha yesterday. Fortunately, I met an acquaintance. He knew me and rescued me all the way. I was afraid I couldn't tell my family, so I asked Madam Guan Send me back." At this moment, Mai Xiang could no longer lie to Ye Dafu.

"What happened to Lord Belle?"

"Father, Master Belle was entrusted by Fujin to confirm that I'm okay, because the matter is very urgent in the morning, and Madam Guan hasn't had time to tell Fujin, Fujin is worried."

Mai Xiang is really tired, one lie will be followed by countless lies.

Ye Dafu looked at Mai Xiang and said, "Who is that life-saving acquaintance? Someday I will take my father to visit him."

"Father, who are you looking at?" Mrs. Zhao came in with a plate of dumplings, followed by Mai Huang and others.

Besides, Yongen rode his horse all the way back to the city, and happened to catch up with Guan Nanny's carriage when entering the city, and asked Guan Nanny to take her to find Huaici, but Huaici was not there, so Yongen sent two servants there After waiting for three days, Huai Ci finally came.
