Fang Xu followed her, slowly got out of the carriage, and whispered, "Just rest here."
"Yes." Dan Yun agreed and said respectfully, "We are currently on Lingshan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing to prevent snakes and insects. My servant brought incense. Madam and Madam Lan put it away and kept it close to their bodies."
Fang Xu was satisfied and whispered, "You are quite attentive."
Danyun pursed her lips and smiled brightly, "Slave, go get a stool for Madam."
Fang Xu tied the sachet around his waist and walked slowly in the mountains, looking at the surrounding scenery.
The accompanying guards set up a simple tent to block the wind, while the remaining people set up pots in the open space. The cook who was captured to accompany the car counted the dishes brought from the house and prepared to show off his skills.
Little did they know that there was a group of people staring at them on the hilltop not far away.
"Master, these guys look like they have money!" The man was average-looking, with pockmarks all over his face. He looked at Fang Xu and others from a distance and spoke in a conspiratorial manner.
"Master, Brother Mazi is right." The child on the side also spoke quietly and analyzed calmly, "Who can temporarily stand up and pay the bills and set up the pot? Only those rich and smelly people can do it!"
"Hehehehe... The head of the house, I see there are two women, they are in good shape..." The man looked at them on tiptoe, grinning, showing his big yellow teeth.
The man who was called the master narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Call the brothers in the village and ask them to come out. There is a big deal today!"
"yes!"
Two words
After Fang Xu left, the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion received a letter of greetings, with the name Guogong Mansion clearly written on it.
Everyone gathered in the front hall, their expressions not very good.
Song Huixin slapped the greeting card on the table, with obvious anger on his face, "What's going on?"
Ye Ming's face turned livid and he said in a deep voice, "The little one has obviously been hidden, how could he come so soon..."
"Everyone, please don't worry." Liu Fanyin handed Xie Yinyin in her arms to Mrs. Zhang aside, and whispered, "The Duke of Qi may not be here just to find fault..."
"What else can he do?" Song Huixin frowned and whispered, "Otherwise, I will chop him with one sword!"
"Prince Princess, please calm down!" Su Zi's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said to stop her, "The matter has not reached such a serious level yet!"
As expected, Madam is very good at predicting events, and she knows the habits of the two young Madams thoroughly!
"Then what should we do?" Song Huixin frowned and said impatiently, "He is sincerely looking for trouble! Rather than dealing with him, it would be better to seal the throat with a sword."
Liu Fanyin's eyelids jumped when she heard this. He raised his hand to hold her thin wrist and whispered, "Be calmer. Not to mention that our family is a loyal widow. Just because the second brother is an official in the court, Qi Guogong will not dare to come here." How can he face us, why should you face him?"
Song Huixin pursed her pink lips and closed her mouth angrily.
When everyone was hesitant, the door was pushed open. Granny Yuan held a hand of sunflower seeds and lazily walked into the house. Accompanied by the sound of cracking sunflower seeds, she slowly took a seat above her.
Grandma Yuan looked around and raised her voice, "What are you doing with such a slumped face?"
"Old madam, why did you come here?" Su Zi asked in a low voice with a confused look on his face.
Maybe it was Su Zi who said the old woman pleased her, a smile appeared on her face, "Go away obediently, I will naturally look after this house for her."
"Tell me." Granny Yuan looked at the people below and said in a loud voice, "What's troubling you?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing where to start.
Song Huixin didn't have so many scruples and picked up the greeting note on the side. "My mother had some conflicts with Qi Guogong. Now he took advantage of my mother to leave the house and posted the note. We don't know whether we should let him in."
"The post clearly states that Duke Qi is sincerely visiting Mrs. Yongcheng Hou. The tone of the post is strong, and he must be here to cause trouble."
Liu Fanyin's face turned pale and she murmured, "It's his mother he wants to see. Now that her mother has left the house... we can't change her into another one."
"What's so difficult about this?" Granny Yuan sneered, waved her hand, pointed at Ye Ming, and said in a loud voice, "Who is that? If you reply to this post, say that Yongcheng Houfu welcomes him at any time."
Ye Ming groaned, a little confused.
Grandma Yuan narrowed her eyes, "Don't you take my words seriously?"
As soon as he said this, Ye Ming felt that his scalp, which had finally been relieved, started to hurt again. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no... I'll go right now!"
After that, he rushed outside.
Seeing that things were going as she wished, Song Huixin stood up happily and said, "Mother-in-law, I'm going to send some people to help our Hou Mansion!"
"Go." Granny Yuan waved her hand, with a smile on her face.
"This...sister-in-law..." Liu Fanyin blushed anxiously, looked at Song Huixin's back, turned to look at Granny Yuan, and said loudly, "Old lady, please don't kill anyone!"
Granny Yuan lightly raised her eyelids, her eyes fell on her, and she was slightly unhappy, "You are the only daughter of a wealthy businessman in the capital, how did you develop such a personality?"
Liu Fanyin bit her lower lip and lowered her head in frustration, looking a little lonely, "The Duke of Qi has a high position and is even more powerful than my father-in-law during his lifetime. The second brother's official career has just started..."
Granny Yuan sneered, with disdain on her face, "No one can be considered to be in a high position in front of me. Even the current emperor has to speak to me politely!"
Liu Fanyin moved her lips and whispered, "But..."
Su Zi noticed some brows and moved closer to Liu Fanyin. He lowered his voice and said, "Madam, please leave this matter to the old lady."
Liu Fanyin lowered his head slightly, accepting Su Zi's words and stopped saying anything.
Grandma Yuan looked at her and scolded her in a low voice, "From now on, you will follow me and practice your temper. When you come home obediently, you will give her a daughter-in-law that you can look at."
Liu Fanyin lowered his head and whispered, "Yes."
Granny Yuan sat up straight, her eyes fell on the bare trees at the door, her eyes gradually became cold, "I want to see who dares to come to our residence to cause trouble!"

Beijing Suburban Mountains
Fang Xu couldn't help the itching on the tip of his nose and sneezed.
"But you caught a cold?" Fang Lan heard the noise and looked up at her, "Can I get you another hand stove?"
"No need." Fang Xu rubbed his nose, hesitating, and whispered, "I don't know why, but I always have a trace of manic depression in my heart that I can't get rid of."
"Sister, you said..." Fang Xu pursed his lips, "It can't be that something went wrong in the Marquis Mansion, right?"
"You like to think too much." Fang Lan glared at her angrily and whispered, "Qingling is not far from the capital. It only takes half a month for us to come back and forth, and you left Su Zibai, Ye Ming and others behind." Your Majesty, aren't you still worried?"
Fang Xu patted his heart and said softly, "But my heart..."
"You just haven't been out for a long time and are too nervous." Fang Lan raised his hand and handed her a piece of tea, coaxing softly, "Eat something first, lunch will have to wait a while."
While the two were chatting, many strong men suddenly appeared from not far away and surrounded everyone in the Houfu.
"Everyone stop what you are doing and raise your hands!"
