Xuan Bao smiled after drinking goat's milk and eating a few snacks. She patted her belly with a satisfied look on her face.
"County Lord, I heard that there is a commotion over there in the second room?" Qiuyue reported.
"We still have to make a fuss." Xia Yuzui quickly took over the words, "But if we continue to make a fuss, it will only last a few days."
Chunhua bumped Dongxue's side with her elbow and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? The whole house is in chaos."
"The county lord has driven the second house out of the Hou Mansion."
When they first heard this, Chunhua and Qiuyue were stunned. They couldn't believe their ears.
Qiuyue reacted: "Are you saying that the county leader rushed it, and it was still successful?"
"That's natural." Xia Yu's face was full of excitement, "Our county boss is great."
"County Lord, what does Princess mean?" Chunhua was still relatively steady.
Xuan Bao said calmly: "My mother naturally supports me. The second roommate told them to give them three days and move out after three days."
"Three days later, the house will be clean by then." Xia Yu said with a smile.
"It's said to be three days, but I think they will probably regret it when they go back." Xuan Bao guessed.
Dong Xue said: "The second master said it in front of everyone, how can he still regret it? That would be too shameless."
"Anyway, I don't think they will be willing to just leave like this." Xuan Bao stretched after saying this.
"County Lord, my servant will wait for you to rest for a while." Chunhua said thoughtfully.
"Yes, yes, the county master is really tired today." Dong Xue and Xia Yu quickly picked up Xuan Bao and planned to put her on the bed so that she could have a good rest.
Xuan Bao pointed to the couch next to him: "I'll just lie here for a while."
After the four maids helped Xuan Bao lie down, they all retreated on tiptoe.
Not daring to speak outside the door, they retreated further. Only then did Chunhua and Qiuyue ask about what happened today. We couldn't talk about things in the palace, but most people in the house had heard about them and it was not a secret.
Yu Yiwu told them vividly.
Xuan Bao lay down and closed her eyes. Although she was tired, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. She regretted a little. Was she too eager and reckless?
"Little stupid treasure, why bother?" The old Taoist master noticed the change in Xuan Bao's mood.
"Master Taoist, I'm a little scared."
"What are you afraid of? Do you doubt your ability? Are you afraid that you can't protect your mother?"
"I will definitely be able to protect my mother."
"That's terrible. Instead of reacting passively and defensively, it's better to stir things up and calm down before jumping out, which will save a lot of effort."
"Haha, what you said makes sense."
"Don't sleep, someone is coming."
After the old Taoist master finished speaking, Xuan Bao heard voices outside.
"Third Young Master, the County Lord needs some sleep, why don't you sit down." Xia Yu whispered.
"If you fall asleep at this time, is Xuan Bao okay?"
Dongxue explained: "It's okay, the county master is still young and gets tired easily."
"Oh, okay, then I'll wait at the door."
Xia Yu quickly said: "Then I will bring a chair for the Third Young Master."
"Is Third Brother here?" Xuan Bao sat up.
"Xuan Bao, it's me." Xiao Keren raised his voice slightly.
"Dongxue, Xia Yu, please third brother come in." Xuanbao frowned, she had a premonition that something must be wrong with Xiao Keren.
Xia Yu, who was the first to enter the house, quickly put some clothes on Xuan Bao. Dong Xue waited for a while before leading Xiao Keren into the house.
"Xuan Bao." Xiao Keren called out and stopped to look at the two maids.
"Xia Yu makes tea." Dong Xue ordered and said with a smile, "The servants are waiting outside the door. If the county master and the third young master have any orders, just call."
Xuan Bao stood up and motioned for Xiao Keren to sit on the Taishi chair next to him. The brother and sister sat down across the coffee table.
"There is no one else, Third Brother, just tell me if you have anything to say."
"I just came out of the hall..." Xiao Keren was about to say something but stopped thinking about how to say it.
She didn't make a sound but just sat quietly. Xuan Bao had patience beyond her years. Anyway, the third brother would naturally say what he wanted to say.
Xiao Keren paused for a while before speaking: "Brother, let's go first. I saw him walking towards the path on the right, and I couldn't help but follow him as I felt emotional."
"The path on the right side of the hall?" Xuan Bao was also smart, "That direction leads to the west courtyard besides the north courtyard where the servants live."
"I just feel weird, so..." Xiao Keren frowned.
Xuan Bao chuckled and said: "Third brother, don't hesitate. Since you are here, you are going to tell me. Tell me, have you discovered any collusion between the eldest brother and the second room?"
"How did you guess that?" Xiao Keren looked at Xuan Bao in surprise, "It took me a lot of effort to convince myself all the way back."
"He will never go to the North Courtyard where the servants live, so he must go to the West Cross Courtyard." Xuanbao analyzed calmly, "Normally at this time, the people in the first room, including you and me, don't want to meet the people in the second room to avoid embarrassment.
, he even took the initiative to come forward, so you don’t have to guess that he must be the same person over there.”
Xiao Keren smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, such a simple and obvious fact is in front of you. Even if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can infer it with your own ears, not to mention that I am still present."
"You followed him and what did you find?" Xuan Bao was not surprised.
It turned out that Xiao Keren followed Xiao Kezhong and saw him sneaking to the back door of Xikuoyuan, and it was Xiao Liao who personally came out and took him in.
It was originally impossible to get in, but thanks to the good relationship between Xiao Keren and Xiao Youfeng in the past, he suddenly remembered that he once said that he had secretly dug a hole in the corner of the backyard so that he could sneak out and play, so he found the hole and got in.
Xiao Keren hesitated for a moment after entering, but in the end he was still unwilling to give in, so he walked around quietly. He had planned to go back when he didn't see Xiao Kezhong, but suddenly he found that there were several people guarding the small house behind Qimeitang.
Out of curiosity, Xiao Keren simply found a bush to squat down and cat there. After a while, Xiao Liao and Xiao Kezhong came out of the house.
To be precise, it was Xiao Liao who came out from Xiao Kezhong. The two of them looked happy and obviously got along very harmoniously.
At this time, Xiao Keren was still disappointed. It was incredible that his eldest brother did not stand by his family but sneaked in to establish friendship with his second uncle.
However, the subsequent conversation between Xiao Liao and Xiao Kezhong completely overturned Xiao Keren's cognition. He didn't even know how he left Xikuoyuan. When he came to his senses, he was already outside Lingyun Court. He calmed down before leaving.
Come in.
Xuan Bao pondered and summarized Xiao Keren's words, which was that Xiao Liao repeatedly praised Xiao Keren for his cleverness and cleverness, and vowed that the second wife would not be kicked out of the Hou Mansion. The most strange thing is that they both said in unison that they were a family after all.
"He and his second uncle are the same family, aren't they the same family as us?" Xiao Keren felt particularly uncomfortable, "Does he have any brains at all? Can he know who is close and who is distant?"
