After the afternoon exam, Song Ziling and Lu Wenzhi came out of the exam room without asking each other how they did.
After leaving the examination room, the two of them immediately saw the carriage coming to pick them up from the General's Mansion.
Song Ziling and Lu Wenzhi walked over together, but Lu Wenzhi didn't see his father. His father said he would pick him up after the exam in the afternoon. Why didn't he see anyone?
"How did the two young masters do in the exam?"
The boy who came to pick him up looked at the two of them and asked.
"good."
Lu Wenzhi and Song Ziling replied in unison, then looked at each other and smiled.
"Why hasn't my father come yet?"
Lu Wenzhi turned his head and looked around.
The young man said hurriedly: "Master Lu is not here. Madam asked the younger one to pick up the two young masters together, and will send Master Lu directly back later."
So that was it. Lu Wenzhi nodded and got off the carriage with Song Ziling.
The General's Mansion was closer, so the servant first sent Song Ziling back to the General's Mansion, and then sent Lu Wenzhi back to the Lu family.
In the evening, Shen Wan asked Qiu Ju to cook a large table of delicious food for Song Ziling.
After the exam was finished the next day, the college had a three-day holiday, and the results happened to be released two days later.
Although he finally got three days off, Song Ziling did not go out. Instead, he took care of his younger brother at home.
And Shen Wan also made a rare visit to the villa.
Although Zhiqiu no longer lives in the villa and is pregnant, she still manages the villa and the two factories in an orderly manner.
Shen Wan inspected the factory and walked out of the factory, with Zhiqiu and Huier following behind her.
Shen Wan turned her head and glanced at Zhiqiu's belly, which had not changed at all, and said: "In a few months, your belly will grow bigger and your body will become heavier. You will have to keep it at home, and you won't be able to take care of things in Zhuangzi and the factory." Already."
Zhiqiu said: "The doctor said that I am strong and can work for another five or six months without any problem.
These days, I am also paying attention to the stewards in the factory. There are two stewards who are quite good. If I take care of them in the next few months, they should be able to take my place and take care of Madam.
Moreover, the two stewards are both literate."
Shen Wan turned around and looked at Zhi Qiu and said: "You are still thoughtful. I am worried that you are going to have a child and Qiu Ju is going to get married and there is no one available! You have already given me a good look."
Zhiqiu brought the two stewards out so that they could take care of things in the factory. With Lu Wenzhi keeping an eye on the accounts, there shouldn't be any problems.
Zhiqiu smiled and said, "It's my duty to share Madam's worries and think about Madam's thoughts."
"What about the villa?
Do you have anyone to recommend?"
Shen Wan asked.
Zhiqiu thought for a while and said, "Mama Li who is in charge of the kitchen is pretty good. She used to be a steward in a wealthy family. She knows everything about the fields and is not even literate."
Shen Wan nodded and thought for a while and said, "Take care of them first, and then let them work for a month or two. If they don't work, you can replace them in time."
Zhiqiu smiled and said: "Madam is still thoughtful."
Shen Wan had lunch at the villa and took a carriage back to the city in the afternoon.
The carriage reached the official road, and suddenly a masked man in black on horseback jumped out of the woods and killed the boy driving the carriage with a knife.
Before the boy could scream, he lost his life and fell from the shaft of the carriage.
The man in black jumped on the carriage and sat in the driver's seat.
Shen Wan heard the commotion and opened the car curtain, only to see that the boy driving the car had changed.
Shen Wan was shocked and asked loudly: "Who are you?"
The masked man in black turned his head and looked at Shen Wan with a pair of sinister eyes: "The person who wants your life."
Hui'er was so frightened that she was speechless looking at the man in black.
"Where is my boy?"
Shen Wan asked again.
The man in black smiled and said: "Of course he was killed by me, but you don't have to worry, you will be able to go down and reunite with him soon."
As the man in black spoke, he turned the car around and drove in the opposite direction into the city.
His carriage drove so fast that Shen Wan and Hui'er couldn't sit still in the carriage.
"Madam..." Hui'er hugged Shen Wan in fear.
Shen Wan patted Huier's back, not knowing how to comfort her.
She doesn't know who this person is?
I can't even imagine why he wanted to take her life.
However, when he just said that he had killed the boy, he said it so casually that he didn't take human life seriously at all. He looked like someone who often did such things.
Is it possible that this person is a killer?
Shen Wan lifted the curtain of the car window and took a look, and found that they were no longer on the official road. They were surrounded by grass and no people. Because the road was not as smooth as the official road, it was very bumpy.
Shen Wan tried her best to stay calm. Regardless of whether this person was a killer or not, she had to find a way to save herself now.
She suddenly thought of a way to save herself and pulled out the golden hairpin stuck in her head.
There is an aorta in a person's neck. If she could take advantage of him and pierce his aorta with a gold hairpin, the person would die.
However, she only had one more chance, and she had to hit it right away.
She whispered a few words into Huier's ear, and Huier nodded and burst into tears.
