Xuan Bao pulled Xia Yu and quickly rushed into the gate of the Hou Mansion. Seeing the little maid pulling her to run towards Lingyun Garden, the little doll suddenly stopped and stopped walking.
"County Lord, go back quickly. If the second housekeeper says anything, we can push it all away." Xia Yu said anxiously.
"Can you push it cleanly?" Xuanbao rolled his eyes, "Let's go to Fushouyuan."
"Ah? Why?"
Before Xia Yu could recover, she was already taken away by Xuan Bao.
In the Fushou Courtyard, Mrs. Xiao was reclining on the couch and taking a nap in the afternoon. Grandma Sun was waiting beside her, and the two of them chatted.
"Have you visited the West Cross Courtyard?" Mrs. Xiao asked.
Grandma Sun nodded and replied: "I went to see Mr. Youfeng and he is already awake. The doctor also said that the wound was a flesh wound. It will take a few days to nurse him back to health, but..."
"Just what?" Mrs. Xiao's eyes were sharp, "Are you hiding something from me?"
"The doctor said that Mr. Youfeng's body was almost hollowed out."
Mrs. Xiao suddenly sat up: "What? How old is he? His body has been hollowed out."
Grandma Sun sighed longly: "The old lady has not been in the house these years, so she doesn't know many things. I asked around and found out that Master Youfeng has been hanging out with the maids in the house since he was thirteen or fourteen years old. After six or seven years, not only Xi
Across the courtyard, many maids in the mansion suffered, and even some from outside the mansion."
His hand slammed down the armrest of the chair, and Mrs. Xiao shook her head repeatedly: "Separate the family. Separate the family as soon as possible. If it's too late, I'm afraid Xiao Yuan's reputation will be dragged down by the second wife."
"Even if the old lady wants to separate the family, it depends on the timing. I'm afraid it's not the right time now." Grandma Sun told the truth.
"Oh? Why isn't it the right time?" Mrs. Xiao was a little confused.
Grandma Sun leaned over and whispered, "Although the people in Xikuoyuan are covering themselves tightly, I heard that Mr. Youfeng is not well."
"What does it mean that you are not feeling well? You have exhausted your body and just need to replenish it. You can go to my private treasury to find some old medicinal materials and send them to you."
"Old lady, I heard it's very dangerous. As soon as it dawned, I sent people out of the city to find Young Master Youduo back home."
Mrs. Xiao thought intently, and after a long time she frowned and said, "No, there is something evil in this matter. What are Xiao Liao and Fang Rongru hiding about You Feng?"
"What are you hiding? Grandma will find out if she goes to see it in person." Xuan Bao showed his little head at the door.
"The county master is here." Grandma Sun stood up and raised her voice, "Why didn't I hear any reports from my servants?"
"I've seen grandma." Xuan Bao obediently saluted and stood up, "Grandma Sun, don't blame the servants. I heard that grandma was taking a nap and refused to let them report. I wanted to take a sneak peek and not disturb grandma if she fell asleep.
"
"You little clever guy, have you heard something?" Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but feel better when she saw Xuan Bao's smiling face.
"Grandma, I heard the news." Xuan Bao admitted openly, "I heard that the people who went to pick up Brother Youduo came back and said that they were hit by ghosts. I'm quite curious."
"Bumping into ghosts." Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a moment and then asked, "What about Youduo?"
Xuanbao stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Grandma, don't worry, I'm protecting you. Brother Youduo will be fine."
"That's good." Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Although it's not clear yet, regardless of whether he is Xiao Kezhong or Xiao Youduo, he is the eldest son of the second bedroom of the eldest family and they are both her favorite grandsons, so naturally she is more concerned about him.
"I heard that the carriage that picked up people has returned, and the second housekeeper is lying inside." Xuan Bao continued.
Mrs. Xiao turned to Grandma Sun suspiciously: "Second housekeeper? Who is it?"
"I would like to report to the old lady, this person is called Fang Yin, and he is a distant relative of the second lady's mother's family. A few years ago, he was the general manager of Xikuoyuan. Later, when the second lady became the head of the family, he followed the rising trend and was called Er by the people in the mansion.
housekeeper."
It seems that this Fang Yin is Fang Rongru's confidant, and Mrs. Xiao will understand it as soon as she hears it.
"Grandma, I think the second housekeeper should also be in Xikuoyuan now. Would you like to go and have a look and find out what's going on?"
Mrs. Xiao stood up and said, "Mother Sun, let's go to the West Cross Courtyard and see what's going on?"
"I'll go with my grandmother." Xuan Bao said positively.
"You came all the way here just because you wanted to go with me." Mrs. Xiao smiled and exposed Xuan Bao's little thoughts.
Xuan Bao stepped forward to support Mrs. Xiao and said with a smile: "If you see through it, why don't you tell me about it?"
Mrs. Xiao took Xuan Bao's little hand, and Grandma Sun took the maids and young servants to help Grandma, and the group headed towards the West Crossing Courtyard in a mighty manner.
When Xia Yu saw Xuan Bao winking at her, she knowingly ran away to stop Princess Rouping.
Now that Princess Rouping is in charge, she will naturally get the news. Xuanbao doesn't want his mother to get involved in this matter, because he is afraid that she will rush over thinking something has happened, so he asks Xia Yu to stop her first.
In the west courtyard, Fang Rongru was sitting in the hall with a dark face. There were three people lying on the ground in front of her. They let out low wails from time to time. The clothes on their backs were stained with blood. It looked like they had been beaten. They were ordered to go there.
The driver and two boys who picked up Xiao Youduo were three people.
"Second Madam, the second housekeeper is back." The maid came in to report.
Fang Rongru's eyes widened: "Tell Fang Yin to come in quickly."
After a while, she heard a cry of pain outside the door from a distance. The sound was getting closer and closer. It was clearly Fang Yin's voice. Fang Rongru couldn't help but frown.
"Madam, madam, the young one is back." Fang Yinren's voice came before he appeared.
Fang Rongru's brows relaxed a little when she heard this. Fang Yin in the Nuo House was the most knowledgeable. He never called "Second Madam", but directly called "Madam". She felt much more comfortable after hearing the difference of one word.
Soon, Fang Yin appeared at the door, but he was carried in.
"I asked you to pick someone up, why did it happen like this?" Fang Rongru asked in surprise.
After Fang Yin signaled his servant to put him down, he sat on the ground and held his hands in his hands: "Madam, we picked up the eldest son and were about to go down the mountain, but something strange happened on the way."
"The three of them said they were bumping into ghosts." Fang Rongru looked shocked and then turned to the three people lying on the ground.
"Second Madam, we didn't lie. It was really a ghost. Now we have a second housekeeper to testify for us."
Fang Rongru knew that she had wrongly blamed the three of them. Just now they came in in a panic and reported that they were ghosts. She didn't believe it at all. When she saw that they didn't take Xiao Youduo back, she was furious and rewarded each of them twenty bucks for their incompetence.
"Come here, take them down and find a doctor to take a look." Fang Rongru ordered.
At this time, the maid hurried over and reported: "Second Madam, the old lady is here."
"Then why is the old woman here again? Where is she?" Fang Rongru raised her head with a gloomy face.
She beat her precious son yesterday, and now he is in danger and waiting for Xiao Youduo to come and exchange his life for it. At this moment, Fang Rongru's heart is full of resentment towards Mrs. Xiao.
