Cross your legs

"Whether I have Xiao Jiujiu in my heart, after all, no one can see it except myself. No matter how much I say, it's useless! Just ask Madam for permission to let me leave to show your innocence!" Xia An'an also knelt down to Madam.

In front of me, he said firmly.

"Leave?" Suddenly, Lu Zhuo's voice came from outside, full of a sense of approaching danger.

Xia Anan turned around and saw him walking in. Their eyes met and Xia Anan quickly moved away.

A bit scary.

"Zhuo'er, I was just about to find you." Madam said, "What's the matter with you? You want to drive away your own wet nurse for the sake of a girl? What will others say if word spreads?"

She glanced towards the east.

Over there is where the eldest brother and the second brother live.

Lu Zhuo sat down next to Madam and said, "When will I drive away Mother Li? I just say that she is old and doesn't need to come in every day to do the work, for fear of tiring her."

The lady looked relieved and said to Mother Li: "Mother Li, look, you may have misunderstood Zhuo'er's meaning."

Mother Li looked at Lu Zhuo earnestly: "Brother, I'm not even 70 or 80 years old, so I can't do anything anymore! Please be merciful and forgive me! I'm also doing my best for you!"

Lu Zhuo said nothing, crossed his legs, picked up the tea next to him and took a sip.

The lady suddenly noticed Lu Zhuo's shoes and said: "The new shoes on your feet look like Mother Li's needlework. Look, how well made they are! I still remember you said that the shoes were made by Mother Li."

It’s comfortable to wear!”

Lu Zhuo looked a little surprised and said, "Mom, this was not made by Mother Li, Mei Ying made it for me. She delivered it to me in person that day and wanted to help me put it on and try it on!"

"Mei Ying?" Madam looked at Mei Ying in confusion.

Mei Ying didn't dare to look up.

Then, the lady seemed to understand something, and looked at the shoes a few more times, and then looked at Mother Li.

Mother Li hurriedly said: "Madam, I injured my wrist during that time and couldn't exert my strength! So I asked Mei Ying to do something for me."

The lady didn't say anything and her face didn't look good.

"I know that Mother Li is my mother's roommate, and my mother has always trusted her. You can rest assured that she is watching over me." Lu Zhuo brought back the original topic, "Well, just a few days ago, Butler Qin came over

He said that he needed to reconcile the accounts. In the past, Mother Li went to collect the things and money in Heguang Garden and gave them to Dongli for storage. If Mother Li didn't want to go home and rest, she would go with Dongli to deal with Butler Qin.

Pay it forward."

"Reconciliation?" Mother Li's face changed drastically and she blurted out, "Why do we need to reconcile the accounts suddenly? This has never happened before!"

Lu Zhuo: "There are three things to do when a new official takes office! Butler Qin always has to light up a few things when he is promoted to housekeeper."

Mother Li looked obviously panicked and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Madam's eyes sharpened, and she said after a while: "Okay, that's it! Mother Li, then you can stay and cooperate with Butler Qin. He has been with the Duke for many years, so you have to be more careful."

Mother Li's breathing was a little rapid and she didn't respond.

Madam: "What?"

Mother Li: "Yes."

Madam: "You go back first. Mei Ying, send it to your mother."

"Yes." Mei Ying and Li's mother went out together.

The lady looked at Xia Anan again and asked, "Xia Anan, do you really want to leave?"

Xia Anan: "Yes."

The lady looked at Lu Zhuo.

Lu Zhuo asked coldly: "Do you know how to calculate the redemption money?"

Xia An'an: "...Madam said she would waive my ransom money."

Lu Zhuo: "Your body bond is now with me."

Xia Anan: "Then please Fifth Brother, please be accommodating."
