Mrs. Xue seemed much calmer now. She said, "Just say I'm not here."

The boy was dumbfounded: "Ah? How can it be said that you are not here..."

Mrs. Xue said calmly: "I should not be here in the first place. I am going to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city."

She paused and said: "Just say that I went to the countryside to relax. I may stay there for ten and a half days. You don't know when I will come back."

Mrs. Xue stood up and told the maid beside her: "Go pack your things and leave now."

"Are you really leaving?" The maid was also dumbfounded.

"Well, let's go."

The people who stay with Mrs. Xue now are all close and appropriate people. Mrs. Xue gave the order, and although she hesitated, she still obeyed.

Not long after, they packed up their things and slipped out through the back door of Xu's house.

Mr. Xue gradually became impatient waiting outside.

The senior attendant beside him took a look at the old man's face, and couldn't help but reprimanded: "In a merchant's house, you just can't get on the stage. How can you make the elders wait for a long time? I don't know how to invite you to come in and sit down first."

Mr. Xue then said calmly: "That's all, I won't stay here any longer."

Chang Sui nodded. Yes, as soon as Mrs. Xue comes out, they will set off back to the Xue family together.

After talking in this room, I saw the servants of the Xu family coming out quickly.

"Replying to the old lady, it's really a coincidence that my wife left the house early today."

Old Mrs.

"Don't dare, I don't tell a lie." The servants of the Xu family thought to themselves, they can't strike me to death right there with thunder, right?

Mr. Xue frowned: "It seems that he really went out."

Although Mrs. Xue was fierce, she was only in front of Xue Chengdong. If she met Mr. Xue, everyone would have to be submissive.

So it shouldn't be a lie.

Mr. Xue said: "Send someone to find your aunt."

"There's no telling when we can get it back." The servant of the Xu family said the toughest words in the most cowardly tone.

Mr. Xue's expression darkened slightly: "Are you, the Xu family, deliberately trying to antagonize the Xue family by pushing back like this?"

The servant Ma Liu knelt on the ground and said: "I don't dare, I have no conscience. Everything I said is true! I really don't know when I can get it back... Recently, my aunt has been in a bad mood lately.

Great, I should always go out and relax every day."

Mr. Xue was silent.

This servant of the Xu family acted as if he didn't have knees. He would kneel down whenever he was asked. If he continued to hold him accountable, it would appear that the Xue family had gone too far and did not take their in-laws seriously.

Mr. Xue still wants to save face.

He said: "That's all. When your aunt comes back today, tell her that I will come back tomorrow."

The servant nodded repeatedly.

In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Xue returned to Xue's house.

Aunt Xue was the first to greet him and said with a smile: "Father, my sister-in-law must have gone home."

"No." Two words popped out of Mr. Xue's mouth.

Aunt Xue's expression changed: "Is the Xu family still so bold as to dare to disobey their father's wishes..."

Mr. Xue said in a deep voice: "No one is here."

"I'd say I'm too spoiled to them. First it was Xue Qingyin, then my sister-in-law, and now everyone in the Xu family has become more aggressive. In my opinion, Xue Qingyin should be restrained from the beginning.

This source..."

Mrs. Xue interrupted her: "The Xu family is not tough. If they are tougher, things will be easier to handle."

Aunt Xue was startled: "Yes, really?"

Mr. Xue looked at her and said: "You are also a married person. Stay in the Marquis's house more and run less to your parents' house."

Aunt Xue's face turned red and she was speechless for a moment.

When Mrs. Xue arrived at Zhuangzi, Ning Que was already there.

She lifted the car curtain and was extremely surprised: "Mr. Ning arrived so early?"

Ning Que said warmly: "Don't you want to do fortune-telling, Madam?"

Mrs. Xue suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "That's right." She got off the carriage and frowned at the servants aside: "You are stupid, why don't you welcome Mr. Ning in and wait?"

The servant Nana was about to speak.

Ning Que was the first to speak: "When Zhuangzi enters the country with a card, he must act according to the rules. How can he make such an opening so easily?"

Mrs. Xue's face relaxed.

He is a follower of rules.

Only then did she remember that Qingyin only gave the wooden sign to Mr. Lin yesterday.

Mrs. Xue asked: "That Mr. Lin didn't come with Mr. Ning today?"

Ning Quanquan pretended not to know and said, "Maybe he is busy with something."

"Oh." Mrs. Xue originally thought it was inappropriate, but when she thought about being surrounded by maids and servants, it didn't matter.

She pursed her lips and smiled: "Mr. Ning, please."

Ning Que walked side by side with her.

Mrs. Xue walked in and said, "I'll have someone prepare a sign for Mr. Ning later."

Qingyin still made some mistakes in her work.

People have already taken the initiative to give away things, why should they give someone a sign?

Ning Que was overjoyed when he heard this and bowed to Mrs. Xue: "That would be disrespectful."

Mrs. Xue nodded: "This is the best. If you push it back and forth, it will be uncomfortable."

Ning Que now knew that this lady didn't like those who were long-winded and giving in.

Entered the door.

Liu Xiuyuan and others are still there.

"I've met Madam." They saluted politely.

Mrs. Xue was surprised and said: "These calligraphy and paintings actually take so much effort? Do you still have to stay in Zhuangzi?"

The painter nodded: "It's not a day's work."

Liu Xiuyuan laughed at the side and said: "Then I finished it early, but Shu Tan is staying in this village, and he is reluctant to leave for a while, so I asked Madam to see the joke."

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Liu can stay for as long as you like." Mrs. Xue still has a very good impression of a man like Liu Xiuyuan who is truly talented, knowledgeable and humble.

If such a person lives in Zhuangzi, he can have some sense of culture.

Liu Xiuyuan immediately expressed concern: "Madam, I came to Zhuangzi today..."

Mrs. Xue said: "Escape from the summer heat."

Liu Xiuyuan felt strange. It was still early for summer. What kind of summer was this?

Ning Que also felt something was wrong, but he couldn't ask directly.

Liu Xiuyuan didn't think too much, and immediately said: "Will Madam still play cards at that moment?"

"Play." Mrs. Xue said without thinking.

Escaped from the trivial matters of the Xue family, and now that her daughter is no longer around, Mrs. Xue is feeling bored.

Ning Que hurriedly interrupted: "I'm afraid I need to find a quiet place..."

Mrs. Xue reacted: "Oh, yes. Let's talk about it later. I remember there is a pavilion halfway up the back mountain..."

Ning Que hurriedly said: "That's great!" Anyway, there just shouldn't be so many people.

Liu Xiuyuan became interested and joined in the fun: "What are you going to do?"

Liu Xiuyuan is young, and Mrs. Xue looks at him as if she were an outstanding young junior.

She replied very patiently: "You don't know, do you? This Mr. Ning is a Taoist priest. He can measure words and tell fortunes."

Liu Xiuyuan was surprised and said: "Really?"

Ning does have a headache.

Liu Xiuyuan followed up and said: "The characters I write have many changes in strokes and different styles. Can it be measured like this?"

If you say you can't, you will look too incompetent in front of your wife. If you say you can, there will inevitably be another Liu Xiuyuan.

The problem facing Ning Que at this time was simply more difficult than asking him to govern a state.

Fortunately, at this time Liu Xiuyuan rubbed his fingertips, sat back and said, "I'd better carve some more wood."
