No wonder my grandfather always said that his fourth uncle was the smartest among his uncles. After hearing Li Zhi's words, Xuan Bao couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
What Li Zhi said was reasonable. If nothing else, Xiao Youfeng's matter hadn't been resolved yet, so the three brothers who were still in the Hou Mansion were in danger. He really couldn't leave for too long, so he had better go back as soon as possible.
"And you, there is nothing going on in our house, please keep an eye on it." Li Zhi winked at Li Zhuo.
Li Zhuo immediately understood that the fourth brother was asking him to keep an eye on the Hou Mansion, or he could just follow Xuan Bao secretly.
Xuan Bao hurriedly saluted Li Zhi and then left with Li Zhuo.
It was already dawn when we rushed back to Haohou Mansion. Xuan Bao specially chose a remote place in the garden to climb over the wall and enter the house. Since he left quietly last night, he would come back quietly today.
Li Zhuo and Xuan Bao discussed and decided that it would be better for them to be in the light and in the dark. The little baby would be in the light, while he would hide in the dark and wait for opportunities.
Seeing Xuan Bao successfully climbing over the wall and entering the Hou Mansion, Li Zhuo turned around and disappeared quickly.
Xuan Bao patted the dust on his hands and looked around. No one saw him climbing over the wall and returned home smoothly.
What a hell, Xuan Bao had just walked a short distance when she saw Xiao Mingzhu and several maids walking hurriedly in her direction.
Dodging and hiding next to the big tree, Xuan Bao didn't want to meet Xiao Mingzhu at all. He was not afraid but annoyed. It would be bad to see her every time.
"Ju'er, you go first, I'll come as soon as I can." Lan'er suddenly slowed down.
Xiao Mingzhu said angrily without looking back: "Where are you going?"
"Sixth Miss, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. Come back as soon as you go." Lan'er covered her stomach.
"Humph!" Xiao Mingzhu snorted without saying anything.
Lan'er stopped and Xiao Mingzhu left quickly with several other maids.
"County Lord." Lan'er looked around and called softly.
Xuan Bao poked his head out from behind the tree and asked with a smile: "Did you just discover me?"
"The County Lord." When Lan'er saw Xuan Bao, she hurriedly picked up the hem of her skirt and walked towards her quickly, "I seemed to see the County Lord flash past me from afar.
"You fell down on purpose." Xuan Bao asked with a smile, "Where is Xiao Mingzhu going so early in the morning?"
Lan'er came to the big tree and pulled Xuan Baobao back to the tree. After that, she lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the second young master of the second room is not alive. The sixth lady is going to Xikuoyuan."
A light flashed in Xuan Bao's eyes. According to normal calculations, Xiao Youfeng was indeed only a matter of one or two days. Could it be that Xiao Liao and Fang Rongru would let it go? The answer is no. According to their doting on Xiao Youfeng, they would definitely ignore it.
Anything to save him.
"Miss Sixth has spies in Xikuoyuan?" Xuan Bao asked in a low voice.
Lan'er frowned and thought for a while before shaking her head: "It was there in the past, but it probably isn't now."
Xuan Bao understood as soon as he heard that, according to Xiao Mingzhu's temperament, he must have arranged an spy everywhere. It was probably the spy arranged in Xikuoyuan that Fang Rongru had noticed and pulled out.
"Then how did she know the news?" Xuan Bao continued to ask.
"Miss Sixth got up early this morning and was walking around the Yicai Garden courtyard when she overheard the little maid talking about it."
Overheard? Xuan Bao didn't believe that it was a coincidence that Xiao Youfeng was about to die. The second room was covered up tightly. If Xiao Mingzhu could hear it, it must be because they wanted her to hear it.
"Okay, hurry up and follow." Xuan Bao knew what he was doing.
Lan'er saluted and hurried towards the west courtyard, while Xuanbao turned around and ran towards the fourth and fifth brothers' yards.
Before entering the courtyard, Xuan Bao heard Xiao Keli's voice outside the courtyard. The fifth brother raised his voice and was clearly angry.
Xuan Bao looked up at the sky. It was true that the sun came out from the east, but the little baby was surprised that Fifth Brother, who had always been indifferent to things, would get angry.
Looking at the two closed doors, Xuan Bao cast a spell and quickly ducked in. After entering the courtyard, he saw more than twenty servants kneeling in the courtyard. Xiao Keli was sitting upright and scolding them.
"In the past, it was me and the Fourth Young Master who were too tolerant, which is why you didn't have any rules..."
Xuan Bao hid and covered his mouth and snickered. He didn't expect that Fifth Brother was really acting like that when he put on airs.
Early in the morning, all the servants were gathered together to reprimand him. Could it be that something unusual had happened?
After listening patiently for a moment, it was just a matter of laziness and laziness. Just when Xuan Bao felt strange, Xiao Keli changed the topic.
"I have no control over what you do in other places in the Marquis Mansion, but when you do things under the eyes of the Fourth Young Master and me, there are only two requirements, one is to be loyal, and the other is to keep your mouth shut.
At this time, Xuan Bao understood that all the foreshadowing was nonsense. Fifth Brother made it clear that he wanted to take this opportunity to tidy up the yard. He probably attracted a lot of people with one servant and two masters last night.
Sure enough, Xiao Keli found out several people, including several young men and two rough nuns.
"You guys go to Qinse Courtyard to find Aunt Ying. Just say that I don't need so many people here and ask her to relocate you."
Several servants kowtowed in unison and said: "Fifth Young Master, Fifth Young Master, give us a chance."
"Opportunity?" Xiao Keli had a smile on his lips but a coldness in his eyes, "After all, it's a good time for master and servant to get together and part ways. Who is behind you? Don't think that my fourth brother and I don't know, we are just too lazy to care about clowns like you.
"
Hearing what Xiao Keli said, several servants looked at each other with ugly expressions. If they continued talking, it would not end well, so they did not dare to say anything anymore.
"Okay, you guys, hurry up and leave before I change my mind. As for the remaining people, do whatever you have to do. Remember, there is no room for people with second thoughts in this yard. If I find out again..."
Xiao Keli said coldly.
"If you don't drive me out of the yard, what are you going to do with the fifth brother?" Xuan Bao came over from the corner.
When Xiao Keli saw Xuan Bao, he couldn't help but smile. He noticed that the little doll was winking at him. He instantly understood that she was giving both kindness and power. She was dissatisfied with her kindness, but the power was not enough.
"Kick out of the Marquis' Mansion, but you may have to go out sideways when you come in upright."
Going out sideways? Then you will lose your life. After hearing this, all the servants quickly kowtowed and said in unison: "Follow the master's instructions and don't dare to have second thoughts."
Are you satisfied now? Xiao Keli gave Xuan Bao a wink, and the little doll smiled back, and everything was clear.
"Okay, let's all get down."
Seeing Xuan Bao coming forward, Xiao Keli stood up and went to greet him. Unexpectedly, the little doll grabbed his hand.
"Fifth brother, let's go find fourth brother."
Involuntarily following Xuan Bao forward, Xiao Keli couldn't help but smile as he looked at the little hand grabbing his palm.
"Prepare more pastries, goat's milk, and some easily digestible meals, and send them all to the Fourth Young Master." Xiao Keli turned around and ordered.
