Xu Wanning returned to Ningyuan.
Aunt Dong had already seen through Qiushui. As soon as she heard that Xu Wanning was back, she immediately secretly ran to Ningyuan to wait. When I saw Xu Wanning, I was so excited that I almost burst into tears.
The God of Wealth is back!
"Young Madam, you are finally back."
Xu Wanning asked her, "Mother Dong is looking for me in such a hurry. Did she find out some important news?"
Aunt Dong couldn't help but feel a little guilty on her face: "Young madam, I found out some news, but it's not important news. I'm not sure."
"tell me the story."
"Bai Qingqing is missing."
"Gone?" Xu Wanning asked her, "Why do you call it missing?"
"After the woman was beaten, she was taken back to Qingfengyuan by Aunt Chun, but then she suddenly disappeared. I searched everywhere but couldn't find anyone. You said her butt was injured and it hurt like hell. , where can one go.
Of course Xu Wanning knew where she was, "Is there anyone else?"
Aunt Dong hurriedly said everything: "Just after you left, the young master was taken to the Yannian Courtyard by the madam, and he never came back. It's really strange that when you left the mansion, the madam would not have taken the young master with you. ." Xu Wanning was not here, and Cui Qingping was taken care of by Aunt Dong.
"There is also Maple Leaf Tower, which is also very strange." Aunt Dong continued: "Most of the servants in Maple Leaf Tower have been sent out of the mansion. It is said that the master let them go out to rest. The master has also been doing the same in the past few days, and the servants have been I have never seen him in the mansion. If the people in the kitchen hadn't sent the food to Maple Leaf Tower, the servants would have thought that the young master had left the mansion."
Xu Wanning asked her: "You didn't go to Maple Leaf Tower to have a look?"
"This is what I find strange." Aunt Dong looked around and explained in a low voice: "I have been there, but Chen Yuan was guarding outside. No one was allowed in except Madam and Aunt Chun. If it is said to be an order from the master, the servants will not be able to enter."
Of course she can't get in!
Cui Yunfeng hid Bai Qingqing in Maple Leaf Tower and was happy, how could he let others know about it.
After saying these pieces of information, Aunt Dong shut her mouth helplessly.
It's not that she wants to shut up, she really has nothing to say, and she also wants to continue talking. A message only costs ten taels of silver. Sigh, I've been losing a lot these days, I haven't found any important news, and I don't know how much money the young lady will give her.
Xu Wanning observed her words and expressions. Aunt Dong's thoughts could not be hidden from her eyes. She sneered in her heart, but her face remained as usual: "Aunt Dong has worked hard these days. Qingxing, give Aunt Dong a hundred taels of silver."
Aunt Dong was extremely shocked.
One, one hundred taels?
When she held the heavy amount of silver in her hands, Aunt Dong was overjoyed and said, "Slave, thank you very much, young lady, for the reward."
"If there is good news, naturally I want to reward you." Xu Wanning patted Aunt Dong and entrusted her with an important task: "Aunt Dong, if there is any news, please report it as soon as possible."
"This slave knows." How dare she not report it? Every item is money!
Aunt Winter finally left.
Qingxing pouted: "Miss, what kind of news does she have? Just give her a hundred taels of silver."
Xu Wanning smiled: "Silly girl, if I don't give her any benefits, how can she do her best to help me?"
Greedy people use it best.
For example, Aunt Dong, such as Du Shi and Cui Lu.
Xu Wanning stood in front of the warehouse door that had been pried open. She looked at the lock that was as big as a fist and was pried off. Her eyes were incomprehensible.
She walked in and came out with a golden Buddha in her hand.
"Send it to Madam." Xu Wanning handed the golden Buddha to Qing Xing.
Qingxing was reluctant to give it up: "Miss, this is made of pure gold. Do you have to give it away?" If you give it away again, you will lose another good thing in your dowry. You can't give it away like this even if you have gold and silver!
"Things are dead, but people are alive." Xu Wanning waved her hand nonchalantly: "Send it away."
As long as she is alive, the things she gave away can be brought back the same way.
Xu Wanning is not in a hurry!
No matter how reluctant Qingxing was to give up, she had no choice but to do as she was told.
Xu Wanning asked Hongmei again: "Is Chen Mianmian settled in?"
Hongmei: "According to your instructions, Miss, she will be settled in your yard."
"Let her dress up and come see me quickly." Xu Wanning entered the main room.
After a cup of tea, Xu Wanning freshened up, and when she came out again, Chen Mianmian came over.
Sure enough, she dressed up according to Xu Wanning's instructions.
The eighteen-year-old girl is youthful and beautiful, with a slender figure and pink cheeks. She looks good even wearing a sack. Not to mention that Chen Mianmian carefully dressed up from head to toe.
Wearing a pure white dress, the embroidery on the dress is made of goose-yellow silk thread, embroidering clusters of spring flowers.
It was like a flower fairy walking gracefully.
Xu Wanning smiled: "Let's go, I will take you to meet the young master."
Chen Mianmian understood instantly.
From this moment on, the young lady will integrate herself into this family.
Chen Mianmian was blessed, respectful and polite: "Mianmian will obey the young lady's arrangements in everything."
Xu Wanning left Ningyuan with Chen Mianmian.
She deliberately chose a path that passed Cui Lu's study.
Xu Wanning enthusiastically introduced everything in the house to Chen Mianmian, including every flower, grass, tree, and the maids and servants in the house.
The servants knelt down to pay their respects, calling Young Madam and then Miss Chen. Xu Wanning's expression was calm, but Chen Mianmian's heart was racing.
Sure enough, the young lady was right.
When she enters the Marquis Mansion, even if she is an aunt, she is still the master, and everyone must kneel to her. If she does not want her status and becomes an outsider, then she is a shady mouse. Her children are not even as good as the servants in the mansion. She doesn't want it.
She wanted to stand upright in the Hou Mansion and let everyone look up to her and her children.
Although Chen Mianmian controlled herself very well, she was still a bit tender after all.
Although Xu Wanning is only two years older than Chen Mianmian now, Xu Wanning lived to the age of forty in her previous life. Adding in the twenty in this life, she is already sixty. She still has a miserable and tragic life, which has given Xu Wanning rich life experience and He has the ability to read people, and he can read other people's thoughts quietly.
Gold, silver, wealth and silk are alluring, and royal power and wealth are alluring, and Chen Mianmian is no exception.
"This is my father's study. My father will live here most of the time." Xu Wanning introduced.
It turns out that Lord Marquis lives here.
Chen Mianmian was startled, and her heart started to beat: "Don't the Marquis and his wife live in the same place?"
"Only ordinary couples live together every day. My father is a marquis and he is very busy and has to deal with a lot of official business every day. Therefore, he only stays in Yannian Yuan on the seventh day of every month. However, if father wants to go to Yannianyuan, he can go at any time. After all, this palace belongs to father, and he can go wherever he wants."
Chen Mianmian clutched the handkerchief and looked at the study room across the wall with lingering eyes.
Behind this wall, there is a man she likes.
But she couldn't see it.
He is the clouds in the sky, and she is the clay on the ground.
He is the master of the Hou Mansion, and she is the guest of the Hou Mansion.
The more she thought about it, the sadder her heart became. She didn't even hear Xu Wanning calling her.
Xu Wanning deliberately shouted her name loudly, "Mianmian, Mianmian..."
This continuous sound flew over the high wall and flew into Cui Lu's ears.
Cui Lu, who was dealing with matters, raised his head.
