Chapter 29 Anxious Master Meng

The morning light had just poured into the Meng family's yard, and some broken light shone on the eaves.

There was a rooster crowing in the alley behind, and soon after, various sounds came one by one, fetching water, lighting a fire, footsteps kept coming, and gradually, wisps of smoke rose from everywhere.

Mr. Meng hurried out of the house, and Mrs. Meng followed closely behind him, tugging on his sleeve and saying, "Wait a minute, your belt hasn't been tied yet."

Mr. Meng kept walking out and adjusted his belt perfunctorily with both hands, but the more hastily he did, the worse it became. Originally it was just a little crooked, but now it was about to fall apart. Mrs. Meng quickly caught it and tied it behind him.

good.

Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng walked straight towards the door.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw two people kneeling on the side, one green and one white, again Lu Wei and Bai Miao.

Mrs. Meng looked at them with disgust, walked forward and said, "What are you two doing here?"

"Please, Master and Madam, take us with you to find the eldest lady!"

After finishing his words, Bai Miao kowtowed solemnly and forcefully, hitting the ground hard, and Lu Wei followed suit and buried his head on the ground.

Mr. Meng didn't want to waste time, so he said perfunctorily: "What will happen if you go? Don't waste time here."

After Master Meng finished speaking, he left without stopping at all.

Mrs. Meng looked at the two of them and said angrily: "If you don't go back and get ready, Heyin will definitely have a good rest when he comes back."

After saying that, Mrs. Meng also left.

Lu Wei and Bai Miao stood up and looked at each other, both feeling very flustered.

The two of them returned to Meng Heyin's yard and decided to prepare things for Meng Heyin to use when they came back. As soon as they walked in, they saw Nanny Xu and Xu Yuan standing at the door looking at them proudly.

Both of them had a bad premonition, and sure enough, Nanny Xu saw them and taunted her coldly: "You two have the nerve to come back? You fooled the young lady and left her alone outside the city. If anything happens to the young lady, that's it.

Even if I peel your skin off, I can’t pay it back!”

Xu Yuan also looked like a villain who had succeeded, "You two just wait to be buried!"

She was holding something in her hand and was eating happily.

"If something happens to the lady, we will naturally deserve to die and we will never live alone!" Lu Wei retorted, "What about you, Aunt Xu? When the lady passed away, you should have been buried for her, but because the lady was young,

, I just spared your life, if something happens to the young lady, do you dare to bury the young lady with us?!"

These words immediately touched the sore spot of Nanny Xu. She immediately turned red and jumped to her feet: "How dare you to curse the Lord so casually?!"

Bai Miao, who had been silent all this time, said coldly: "Miss didn't come back so late yesterday, why didn't you tell me to go out and look for her?"

Nanny Xu swallowed her saliva. After she came back this time, the young lady's attitude towards her changed drastically. She was very harsh. The punishment she received the day before yesterday still made her buttocks ache. After not seeing the young lady come back yesterday, she felt very happy for a while.

I don't care if she is in danger outside. But I definitely can't say this.

So Nanny Xu said: "I was busy preparing for my late wife's memorial day. I forgot the time and never came to the young lady's room."

Aunt Xu's eyes were wandering when she said this, and Bai Miao saw them one by one, but the young lady had not come back yet, and she was too lazy to argue with Aunt Xu about these useless things. She rolled her eyes at them and headed towards the backyard.

Get ready to boil water.

Lu Wei quickly followed suit, and when she passed by Xu Yuan, she saw something hidden in her sleeve.

Xu Yuan quickly gathered up her sleeves and hid them behind her back, but she could still tell that they were some pastries.

Lu Wei thought to herself, it must be some snacks stolen from the kitchen. She didn't want to pay any attention to her, so she snorted and passed by Xu Yuan.

After they left, Nanny Xu scolded: "Take it out."

Xu Yuan trembled with fright, and took out a few pieces of pastry from her sleeves, two small golden pastries, with sixteen slender yellow leaves in total, wrapped in a layer of crystal clear sugar coating, exuding a faint hint of gardenia.

Flower scent.

Aunt Xu expressed her true request. She put one hand on her waist and patted Xu Yuan on the head with the other: "Can't you bear it for a moment? What if they find out that we stole something from the young lady's room?"

Xu Yuan said a little aggrievedly: "Mom...it's been several days. If you don't eat it, it will go bad."

Smelling the sweet smell wafting in the air, Nanny Xu's throat moved, and she touched Xu Yuan's head distressedly: "If the lady's attitude towards me hadn't changed drastically now, how could my Yuan'er eat these?

Leftover pastries.”

Xu Yuan nodded in agreement: "The eldest lady is just like a different person!"

Nanny Xu sighed, feeling confused inside. What happened during the days she left?

On the street that leads directly to the city gate, a carriage is passing through the city at a fast pace. It is now the time to open the city gate, and the vendors are setting up stalls on the street in a bustling manner.

Everyone was frightened and made a fuss.

The carriage was the carriage of the Meng family. Mr. Meng raised the curtain and looked at the street scene passing quickly outside the window. He still felt that it was not fast enough, so he said to the coachman: "You haven't eaten yet? Hurry up!"

The coachman felt aggrieved: he was called up to drive early in the morning and he really didn’t have a meal!

Mr. Meng was so anxious that he almost stepped forward to drive the car himself. Mrs. Meng pressed her hands on her chest, trying to suppress the bumps of the carriage while she had to reach out her hand to hold Mr. Meng.

"Don't... don't be anxious. Didn't Mr. Xue say that someone will take care of you?"

Hearing Mrs. Meng's voice gasping, Mr. Meng was forced to calm down, stretched out his arms to hug Mrs. Meng, and said to her, "After all, we are someone else, and we don't have our biological parents to worry about."

As soon as the words came out, Mr. Meng realized that he had said the wrong thing and looked at Mrs. Meng nervously.

Mrs. Meng smiled nonchalantly and said, "What are you afraid of? That little girl has been talking about it for so many years and has long been used to it."

Mr. Meng shook Mrs. Meng's hand vigorously and said respectfully: "Thank you for your hard work."

Mrs. Meng's expression remained normal and she shook her head.

"Uu——"

The driver shouted, slowly tightened the reins, and the carriage stopped.

"We're here," Master Meng said. As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw that this place was not at the city gate, but at the intersection of several streets at the city gate.

"What's going on? I said go to the city gate." Master Meng said.

"Master, please get out of the car and look ahead." The coachman's voice trembled slightly, seeming to be a little panicked and fearful.

Mr. Meng got out of the car immediately and was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The city gate was locked, and hundreds or even thousands of county soldiers, wearing armor and holding weapons, gathered at the city gate in high spirits.
