After Xu Wanning returned home, she changed her clothes and went to the main courtyard.
Mr. Lu prepared a table full of dishes.
She didn't know that Xu Wanning was almost killed. Xu Wanning also told Chang'an and Chen Wang not to spill the beans, fearing that Mr. Lu would be anxious and frightened after hearing this.
They kept it secret from the Lu family, which meant that Xu Wanning took Chang An out for a day of fun, and they didn't even have lunch.
"Where did you go to play? I didn't even eat. Look at this kid Chang'an. Why do I feel like you've made me lose weight after being out for a day?" Mrs. Lu looked at Chang'an distressedly and kept telling Changan Pick up vegetables.
Xu Jia and Xu Qian didn't eat either, and Mrs. Lu also scolded these two people: "I say the same goes for you, father and son. You can't make enough money. Don't work so hard. You have to eat when it's meal time."
Xu Qian was scolded by Mrs. Lu, even in front of the child, but he was not unhappy at all. Instead, he peeled off a shrimp and handed it to Mr. Lu's mouth: "Okay, I won't do it next time. Come on, open your mouth and eat a shrimp." shrimp."
Mrs. Lu blushed with embarrassment: "The children are all here." They are an old married couple, so let the children watch the joke.
Xu Wanning pressed Chang'an's head and buried it in the bowl, "Eat."
She then lowered her head: "Mom, dad, I didn't see it."
Seeing this, Xu Jia also hurriedly lowered his head to pick up the rice: "Mom and dad, I didn't see it either."
Mrs. Lu laughed and said, "You two naughty kids."
"Look, the children are letting you eat. Open your mouth quickly, or I'll keep holding it up." Xu Qian's eyes were gentle, and the look he looked at Lu was still the same as when he was young, and it had not diminished with age. On the contrary, he became a little more persistent.
Although Mrs. Lu was annoyed, she still opened her mouth and ate obediently.
What I eat in my mouth is shrimp, but my heart feels as sweet as honey.
Lin Hui was eating out. There were many people in the restaurant and there was a lot of talk. Lin Hui happened to hear about something.
"Is it the Xu family? Is it the Xu family in the Xu family store?"
Lin Hui pricked up her ears.
"Yes, Xu Qian, the owner of Xu's shop, and his son Xu Jia, were waiting at the gate of the Chengnan District County Office for a long time. I saw it with my own eyes."
"and after?"
"Miss Xu came out, tied up, and she seemed to have committed a crime. But later, the county magistrate came and said that Sun County Prime Minister was bending the law for personal gain, and Miss Xu was innocent, so he let her go. "
"Then what did Miss Xu do?"
"I do not know!"
Lin Hui paid and went straight back to Xu Mansion without even finishing the meal.
After asking the servants in the mansion, he heard that Xu Wanning was in the main courtyard, so he went to the main courtyard immediately.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he was stopped by the maid, "Doctor Lin, the master and his wife are having lunch."
"Then I'll wait outside."
After waiting for almost two-quarters of an hour, Lin Hui was allowed in after someone said they were done eating.
Only Xu Jia was in the main room. As soon as he entered, Lin Hui couldn't wait to ask Xu Jia: "Xu Jia, who did the young lady offend? Why was she arrested?"
Behind the screen, there was the sound of a cup falling to the ground, and then Mrs. Lu ran out, with a look of panic on her face, "Doctor Lin, what did you say? Who arrested Aning?"
Xu Jia quickly stopped Lin Hui, "Senior brother!"
Mrs. Lu grabbed Lin Hui and asked him to say, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Xu Wanning, who had come back after eating and washing up, planned to go out with Mr. Lu to eat, but she heard Mr. Lu's anxious voice at the door, and her brows furrowed.
Who spilled the beans?
Xu Wanning entered the room with a gloomy face, and saw Mrs. Lu grabbing Lin Hui and asking him.
Seeing Xu Wanning come in, Ms. Lu went to ask Xu Wanning: "A Ning, what is Doctor Lin talking about? When were you arrested?" She was not stupid, "Is it the day you didn't come back that you lied to me? When you took Chang An out to play, you two were actually arrested by the government, right?"
She looked at Xu Jia Xu Qian again: "And you guys, you guys are hiding it from me too, right?"
Xu Wanning comforted Mrs. Lu: "Mom, you are not in good health, don't worry. You sit down first and I will speak slowly."
Mrs. Lu was so anxious that she cried: "Such a big thing happened, and you all hid it from me!"
Xu Wanning felt extremely distressed: "Mom, I hid it from you just because I knew you would be sad. In fact, it's nothing serious, it's just Cui Yunfeng..."
She simply told Cui Yunfeng that he wanted to take revenge on her, which made Mr. Lu even more sad, "I knew that until that person died, he would be a disaster. He would always come to trouble you. I didn't catch you this time. If he comes again this time, what should I do?"
Mrs. Lu is a gentle, kind-hearted woman who is afraid of trouble and disputes. She is devoted to her husband and raising her children, and just wants to live her own life well. Whenever there is any trouble, she cannot eat or sleep, and she is extremely worried!
Xu Wanning touched Mrs. Lu's chest: "Mom, don't worry, everything will be fine!"
Xu Jia pulled Lin Hui out of the courtyard, "Senior brother, you are too reckless. Can you tell me about this matter? You should ask my opinion first."
All of them were hiding it from their mother, but they were ruined by Lin Hui's words.
Lin Hui was also angry: "Why should I ask for your opinion? I am not your servant. I am the doctor of the Xu family, or you personally invited me here."
Xu Jia said to him in a good voice, "Brother, I didn't mean that. It's just that my mother is not in good health. We all want to hide such a big thing from her, just because we don't want her to be sad."
Lin Hui flicked his sleeves angrily: "I'm just worried about Miss's safety."
Xu Qian and Lu were very tolerant, and they didn't have many rules for treating the servants in the mansion, especially Lin Hui, because he was the doctor of the mansion and Xu Jia's senior brother. Lin Hui was in the mansion with several masters. no difference.
Xu Jia held his forehead, shook his head, and entered the main courtyard to comfort Mr. Lu.
Lin Hui looked at Xu Jia's leaving figure with a gloomy light in his eyes.
In the main courtyard, Xu Qian, Xu Wanning, and Xu Jia, who came in behind, comforted Mrs. Lu.
Another voice came from outside: "Master, a policeman from the Chengnan District County Government came outside the door and said he had something to report to the master and the lady."
Mrs. Lu finally stopped crying.
The policeman came in, and it was a familiar face that Xu Jia knew, the little policeman who he stopped to ask about the situation.
"It's you?"
Su Yi also recognized Xu Jia and was a little embarrassed: "Yes, Xu, Mr. Xu." He wanted to stuff his head into the cracks in the ground: "Master Wang asked his subordinates to send him the household registration."
Xu Wanning took it.
Su Yi added: "Your Excellency also asked your subordinates to tell you that Sun Qi has been killed with a stick."
Xu Wanning handed over ten taels of silver: "Thank you, sir. I don't know what you call me."
"This subordinate is just a policeman, not an adult." Su Yi waved his hands repeatedly and refused to accept payment: "My name is Su Yi. I work as a third officer at home. Those in the yamen call me Su San."
Xu Jia stuffed the money into Su Yi's arms: "Take it. If anything happens to me in the future, I will go find Su Yi."
Su Yi nodded without thinking: "Master Xu, just come to me if you need anything. I really don't want to take the money. I still have something to do with the Yamen, so I'll leave first."
He didn't take any money, said goodbye and ran away.
Run faster than a rabbit.
Xu Jia weighed the money in his hand and smiled: "This guy is quite funny. It was he who gave me the last news that An Ning might have offended Sun Qi."
Xu Qian stroked his beard and said, "Build good relationships with the people in the yamen. It will come in handy in the future. It's not a bad thing."
Xu Jia understood: "Father, don't worry, my son knows."
Mrs. Lu finally stopped crying and made up her mind: "Aning, if Cui Yunfeng is not dead, you should never go out again. He can't come to our house to catch you."
Xu Wanning: "What?"
Is this a ban on her feet?
Mom, she didn’t do anything wrong!
