Chapter two hundred and eighty second: dark investigation (nine)

The next morning, Zhou Wu took a carriage with Zhou Xi to the Liu Mansion on Xuanwu Street in the city with carefully prepared gifts.

Today, after continuous expansion and renovation, the scale of the Liu Mansion has expanded by more than ten times higher than at the beginning. The entire street is surrounded by buildings belonging to the Liu Mansion. Although it is not as large as those large palace complexes, it is the largest private mansion in this mansion, and for the entire Tangyuan Mansion, it is a landmark building.

Looking at the tall gateway getting closer and closer, Zhou Wu's eyes flashed with envy, envying the majesty of this mansion and the power possessed by the owner of the mansion.

"Xi'er, you and Xu Xinke must get along well later. No matter what you do, you have to give in to others, do you know?"

Zhou Wu touched Zhou Xi's head and reminded him.

"I know, mom!"

Zhou Xi said obediently that although she is young, she also knows that she and her mother can get the current treatment in the mansion, which has a lot to do with her good friend, so she naturally has to get along well with her.

When the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Liu Mansion gate, a carriage was already parked here. A graceful and greasy woman walked inside with two maids holding gift boxes.

"Madam, it's the carriage of Lin's mansion."

The driver who drove the car reported.

"She came early enough, let's go down too."

Zhou Wushi scraped Zhou Wanqing's swaying back through the car window, then pulled Zhou Xi, stepped on the stool brought by the coachman, and walked out of the carriage.

"stop!"

Before the group could approach the gate, the two rows of Jinyiwei who stood upright with their swords in front of the gate had already blocked them. Of course, no one could enter the gate of the Liu Mansion.

Zhou Wu quickly took out the prayer letter he had prepared, "I am here to visit my daughter Ziyan, please help me inform you."

After saying that, she handed over the prayer letter and a small bag of silver beans.

"Wait!"

The Jinyiwei took the thing, turned around and walked inside.

Not long after, a maid walked out quickly. It was Ning Ziyan's personal maid Qiuxiang. She bowed to Zhou Wu, "Madam, please follow me in."

"Miss Qiuxiang, please trouble you, this is my gift to you."

Zhou Wushi smiled and handed Qiuxiang a small rectangular box, looking very enthusiastic, not at all like her usual attitude towards servants in the mansion.

"Mrs. Zhou, this is not something you can do, you should take it back soon."

Although Qiu Xiang said something rude, she finally accepted the wooden box, which is one of the benefits of her personal maid. As the saying goes, the seventh rank official in front of the prime minister, although she is just a maid, she is one of the personal maids of several hostesses in the mansion. Her status is naturally different from that of other servants.

The most important thing is that I don’t know when it started, and receiving gifts is already a very common thing in the Liu family. If you don’t accept them, not only will the gift givers misunderstand, but other gift recipients will also have ideas.

Zhou Wu followed Qiu Xiang and turned around, his eyes dazzled, and then he came to a side hall where Ning Ziyan lived.

"Mrs. Zhou, please wait here for a while. Our wife is busy now and will come after she finishes her work."

Qiuxiang said to Zhou Wu while asking people to prepare tea and snacks.

“Busy?”

Zhou Wu suddenly felt a little unhappy, so he forced himself to ask, "I don't know what she is busy with this early this morning? If it's not convenient to disclose it, forget it."

Qiu Xiangying smiled, "Madam Zhou, don't get me wrong. You may not know that all the big and small matters in the Liu Mansion now need our wife to take care of. She is indeed unable to get rid of her for the time being."

"Oh! Now all the matters in the mansion are left to Zi Yan's management?"

Zhou Wu's expression moved, and his face suddenly showed joy, "Haha, since that's the case, I'll wait here. Go back and tell Zi Yan that she will do the work first. I'm not in a hurry, no hurry."

"Then there is nothing to do, I'll leave first. There are people waiting outside at any time. Mrs. Zhou can call them if you have something to do."

Qiuxiang said as she bowed slightly to Zhou Wushi, then quickly left the place and went to the stove.

Just after washing it this morning, Ning Ziyan summoned the manager of the mansion to deal with the matter. The breakfast was not useful yet, so she planned to stew a bowl of bird's nest porridge to deliver it.

When Qiuxiang brought the prepared bird's nest porridge to the main hall of the yard, she happened to see all the officials from all over the mansion coming out from inside.

She quickly stood aside and waited for all the people to leave before she walked in.

"Madam, let's drink the porridge first and fill your stomach. It won't work without eating."

Ning Ziyan put down the account book in her hand and smiled, "It's better Qiuxiang, you feel sorry for me. Let's put the porridge first. My godmother should be waiting in a hurry."

"Madam, I've been waiting anyway, so it's not bad for a while. I'd better drink the porridge while it's hot. I don't think Mrs. Zhou will care."

Qiuxiang said that, then picked up the spoon and prepared to feed Ning Ziyan.

"Okay, OK, I'll do it myself. You girl are getting more and more unruly, so I'm still making arrangements for me."

Ning Ziyan reached out to grab the bowl and spoon and glared at Qiuxiang with anger.

"I'm not doing this for the wife, okay? And Mrs. Zhou is not serious every time she comes. She either asks you to help this or that, and she doesn't think about it for you. It's not like Mrs. Lin. How does it come up with a word? It's silent about moistening things, and how happy it's to make that person."

"You're talking too much!"

Ning Ziyan stretched out her finger and poked Qiu Xiang's smooth forehead, "Okay, I'm full, let's go. I've been away for a long time. There are still many things to be busy in the mansion."

"I haven't finished eating yet."

Qiuxiang held half a bowl of bird's nest porridge left.

"You can help me eat it. During this period, I have been with my wife for socializing in Laiyang Mansion. I have gained weight every day."

Ning Ziyan touched her face with some distress.

"No, look at this face, it's still so perfect, and the waist is still so thin. If you want to say fat, you only have a lot of weight gain. But I think the lord will not only not dislike him when he sees him, but he still likes him."

"I'm going to die, you shameless girl are talking nonsense."

Ning Ziyan could instinctively cover her chest, and then a trace of sorrow appeared in her eyes, "I have been out for so long, and I don't know where he is now? I would have done martial arts."

"Madam, why don't I help you go to the factory guard to ask, Yan Qianhu will definitely know the whereabouts of the lord."

"Don't, just take care of our own affairs, and don't inquire about the rest."

Ning Ziyan said with a stern face, since the factory guards keep this matter confidential, there are naturally their reasons, and it is not necessarily a good thing to ask randomly.
