"So a bowl of scallion oil noodles can bribe you?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Seeing Xia Houyu's smile, Shen Lang finally let go of his worries.
At night.
After making sure that Niu Tangtang was asleep, Shen Lang came to the courtyard, took off his robe and knelt in front of Xia Houyu, with red eyes: "Master, I came here late, and you and the three young masters have suffered."
Although the master's face was swollen, he couldn't bear to look directly at it.
But as a subordinate who has been with him for so many years, I still recognized him the moment I walked in.
"Where are the others? Have you contacted them?"
Shen Lang shook his head: "I have left signals along the way. If they escape, they will definitely find them, but now the Niu girl's side..."
"It doesn't matter, I'll find a chance to explain it to her." Xia Houyu looked up at the bright moon in the sky, "Our duty is to protect the three little masters, they are the most important."
"clear."
Niu Tangtang was woken up by a ding-ding-dong-dong. She put on her clothes, came outside the door and looked up. Shen Lang and Xia Houyu had climbed to the roof and started busy.
"Sister Tangtang, are you up?"
Niu Haohao had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Niu Tangtang coming out, he immediately handed her the hot handkerchief: "Sister Tangtang, wipe your face."
Niu Tangtang lowered his head, looked at Niu Haohao with a flattering face, and squinted his eyes: "If you have nothing to do to show your courtesy, you are either an adulterer or a thief. What do you want to do?"
"Of course I'm here to apologize to you..." Niu Haohao looked embarrassed.
Only then did Niu Tangtang notice that he was wearing new clothes that he bought yesterday: "Hey, are the new clothes warm?"
"Warm, very warm. This is the warmest cotton jacket I have ever worn." Niu Haohao never thought that one day, the smart, cute and articulate self would spend all his time trying to please one person, "Sister Tangtang, you will Like the fairy in the painting, who came down to save us, if I hadn't met you..."
"Okay, I'm not angry with you."
Niu was stunned for a moment and couldn't believe it: "Sister Tangtang, is it true?"
"I never stay angry for a night. Besides, it's me who gets angry when I hurt myself. I'm not stupid." Niu Tangtang took the handkerchief from Niu Haohao and wiped his face, "Go on and get me a glass of hot water."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Niu Xingxing couldn't help but sigh when he looked at his brother who looked like a loser.
But the next second, he picked up the firewood, put it on the stove fire, and shouted to Niu Tangtang: "Sister Tangtang, the water is ready."
"I'll give you something a little different today." Niu Tangtang rolled up his sleeves and entered the kitchen, "Pancakes and fruit!"
Aunt Ma, who had just returned from the fields, saw two official servants at her door.
Her heart skipped a beat and she ran over immediately.
"It's her, Lord Official. Niu Tangtang is gone and she has nothing to do with it." When Mei Xianglian saw Aunt Ma running over, she immediately pointed at her and scolded her, "You shameless widow, you usually just have trouble with us, but now you actually dare……"
"Mei Xianglian, what kind of shit are you spraying in your mouth?" Aunt Ma is not a vegetarian, her voice immediately overshadows Mei Xianglian's, "You can't find Niu Tangtang yourself, why do you suspect that she is missing and has something to do with me?"
"You stinky widow, don't think I don't know that you, the loser, always associates with that little bitch Niu Tangtang in private."
"Mei Xianglian, who do you think is a loser? If you tell me again, I will tear your mouth apart."
"Okay, okay, I tell you two aunties, the key now is to find Niu Tangtang." The official who spoke was Wei Yi, whom Niu Tangtang had met at the city gate yesterday. He and his brothers analyzed the matter to the county magistrate. , but was severely criticized by the county magistrate, who said that a peasant woman could not compare to the top scholar in a new subject, and asked them to dig three feet into the ground to find Niu Tangtang.
"Niu Tangtang is not my daughter. How do I know where she is?" Aunt Ma said angrily, "Besides, she is really unlucky for her husband's family, the Wen family. She stayed alone in the empty room on their wedding night, and her husband came back from high school and didn't want her. This hairy wife.”
"Don't you want her as your first wife?"
Wei Yi frowned, why was this different from what he heard? He turned to look at Mei Xianglian, whose eyes were evasive: "Aunt Mei, didn't you say that Niu Tangtang teamed up with bandits to steal your home?"
"Yes, she joined the bandits and stole our house. We provided her with good food and drink. She didn't want to be a good wife. She even flirted with the old men in the village. If my family Tianci hadn't been admitted to the top of the exam, I wouldn't have known what to do. How wronged I am.”
Aunt Ma was very dissatisfied with the lies Mei Xianglian had told her, but she was just a helpless village woman with a pair of children to support. Even if she wanted to help Niu Tangtang, she was powerless.
Caifeng, who had been listening in the room, closed the door.
He was pacing back and forth in the house with a solemn expression.
"Sister, I think they will find Sister Tangtang sooner or later." Tiedan said worriedly, "How about we find a way to send a message to Sister Tangtang?"
"No, let's go rashly. What if we bring her trouble? Besides, we don't know where she is now, so we can't take risks." Caifeng bit her lower lip, and suddenly, she thought of a person in her mind Come, "Tangtang told me that her sister-in-law is the only person who is good to her besides us. Yes, I will go find her in the afternoon."
After lunch, Caifeng went to Niu's house.
Niu's family is located next door to Anxi Village, Niujia Village. It was her first time here and she found the location of Niu's family after asking around.
By chance, all the Niu family members went out to work, leaving Niu Tangtang's sister-in-law Ding Cui'er busy.
Hearing Caifeng's intention, Ding Cuier's vision went dark and she almost fell down: "How is this possible? Tangtang has always been timid and fearful, how could he collude with bandits?"
"Sister Cui'er, the Wen family is determined to find Tangtang now. Once Tangtang is found, the Wen family will not let her go." Caifeng held Ding Cui'er's hand with tears in her eyes. "Tangtang said that the only person who treats her well at home is you."
"No, I can't. I can't do it. I'm just a woman. What can I do?"
"What are you doing?"
Ding Cuier and Caifeng were stunned, and turned to look at He Cailian who appeared out of nowhere. Their faces instantly turned pale.
"Mother-in-law."
He Cailian is Ding Cuier's mother-in-law and Niu Tangtang's biological mother.
"I just heard you say, Niu Tangtang, is that damn girl causing trouble outside again?" He Cailian didn't even ask clearly, so she decided that her daughter had committed something.
"Sister Cui'er, I'm going back first."
Caifeng was afraid that if she said too much, Niu Tangtang's whereabouts would be exposed, so she turned around and left.
"Which girl here is so rude?" He Cailian didn't know how to see Caifeng leave. She picked up the hanging corn and still asked her eldest daughter-in-law, "Tell me, why did she come to you?"
