Chapter 227

The Concubine Gui sneered, "Old Madam, do you mean that the Ai family can't refuse the Empress Dowager's decree? Now that the Empress has given her decree, it will be a matter of time before she adds another decree to affirm it."

The old lady sneered, "Your concubine misunderstood, I didn't mean that, isn't this impatient? Seeing that Wan'er is not too young, although the empress has given her orders, the empress dowager has never expressed her position, so there is no way to determine the date of marriage." Ah, there is only a marriage contract but no wedding date, which makes people panic."

The noble concubine said: "Okay, the Ai family promises you that the day when the news spreads, it will be the time when the empress dowager's order will be issued."

The old lady said: "Okay, since that's the case, I will wait for the news of the noble concubine."

After finishing speaking, he got up and left.

Leaving the Juxian Building, Aunt Cuiyu said: "Old Madam, do you think what the Concubine Gui said is credible?"

The old lady thought for a while, "Whether it's credible or not, we must act quickly on this matter. Where did Xiangye go today? He will tell me as soon as he comes back."

"Yes!" Aunt Cuiyu said.

The old lady ordered again: "By the way, tell Lan Yu not to mess with the people in Xia Zhiyuan these few days, so as not to startle the snake."

Aunt Cuiyu was taken aback, "This..."

The old lady looked at her sharply, "What's wrong?"

Aunt Cuiyu lowered her voice and said, "Old Madam, Lan Yu said today that she wants to teach Missy a lesson."

"What lesson?" The old lady was very angry, "I have already said that no one should touch Xia Zhi Yuan without orders."

Cuiyu couldn't help but defend her, "Old lady calm down, Lanyu just wants to help you out."

"It's just nonsense," the old lady walked out quickly, "say, what did she do?"

"It's not directly attacking the eldest lady, but sending Longan and Xiaosun out to teach me a lesson." Cuiyu chased forward, "Lanyu has a sense of propriety, and she deliberately sent people out to attack, so that even if the eldest lady suspects , and no evidence was found."

The old lady was still very angry, and after getting into the carriage, she warned Cuiyu, "From now on, no one is allowed to provoke Xia Zhiyuan without my old body's order, so as not to spoil my good deeds."

"Yes, this servant will tell Lan Yu when she knows about it." Aunt Cuiyu wiped the sweat from her forehead. In fact, she had already persuaded Lan Yu, but Lan Yu said that she couldn't swallow it. Since Xia Zian is so protective of her servants, Protecting that longan made her feel bad.

However, Cuiyu felt that the eldest lady would not be really angry for the servants, after all, the servants can be replaced when they are gone, and the purpose of saving longan that day was to show her benevolence and righteousness in front of everyone.

It was already evening when Zian returned to the mansion.

Chen Liuliu did not go back to the mansion, and went to the Prime Minister's mansion with Zhuang Zi'an.

Zi'an smiled and said, "You two are not doing your job properly, you are always following me, so you have nothing else to do?"

Zhuang Zhuang shrugged, "What can I do? Lao Qi let me keep an eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion when I have time, and I am really free, so what can I do if I don't come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to keep an eye on it?"

Liu Liu said: "The Prime Minister's Mansion is so lively to watch, it's always a big show, it's fun."

Zi'an laughed, "You really want something to happen to me. All the big dramas in the Prime Minister's Mansion revolve around me. If it happens, nothing good will happen."

"But all the bad things turn into good things in the end. Look at you, you were just a poor little person who was not loved by anyone. After being tempered by the prime minister, you are now completely reborn, like a different person."

Zi'an said: "According to what you say, don't I want to thank the Prime Minister?"

The three went in chatting and laughing. Although Zian said so, he really felt that his situation had become much better than when he first came here.

At least, she has friends now. In modern times, she never thought that she would have friends in this life.

Back at Xiazhi Garden, Xiao Sun and Longan were not there to meet him, Zian yelled, and then saw Boss Dao coming from the study, "Missy is back?"

Zian put down the medicine box, "Yes, where is Xiaosun? Ask her to make tea for the princess and Miss Chen."

"Xiaosun and Longan have gone out and haven't come back yet," Dao Boss said.

"Going out? Where did you go?" Zian sat down and touched his sweat. Although it was already evening, the sun outside was still very strong and very hot.

"She said she was out to do some errands, and Aunt Lan Yu ordered her to do so," Dao Boss said.

Zian stood up abruptly, "Lan Yu ordered them to go to work? Is there no one in the mansion? Why did you send them there?"

"I don't know. I didn't see it. It was Xiaosun who came back and said that he took the longan away." Seeing Zi'an's expression changed slightly, Dao Boss became a little worried, "It's been two hours since I went out, and I haven't come back yet. Did something happen?"

Zhuang Zhuang said: "Don't worry about it, it's not the old lady's style to take down people to vent your anger. People like her will only target you directly."

Zian shook his head, "I'm not worried about Madam, I'm only worried about those servants making their own decisions."

The old lady really doesn't know how to play tricks of such a small scale, it's hard to be a servant, and it's demeaning for her old man.

But Lan Yu is narrow-minded, and he beat her before, so he wondered if he would take revenge while he was away.

Murong Zhuangzhuang said: "If you are worried, I will send someone out to look for it."

Zi'an said: "Okay, please trouble the princess."

Zian knew that Zhuang Zhuang was secretly followed, so asking them to go back and send someone to look for it would be much more effective than her blindly looking for it.

After looking for it, I found it at night, but there was no news back.

Zi'an finally couldn't hold back anymore, and said to Dao Boss: "Go to the old lady's side, and ask Aunt Lan Yu to come over."

Nanny Yang said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to invite you."

A cold light flashed in Zi'an's eyes, "No matter what method you use, please come here."

Boss Dao got Zian's order and went immediately.

Zhuang Zhuang said in relief: "Don't worry, there are so many people looking for it, there should be news soon."

Both Zhuang Zhuang and Liu Liu felt that something might have happened. Maybe they were really asked to do something. After all, at this juncture, there was really no need for the old lady to provoke Zi'an, because the incident of the fire had not been over for a long time. The case is closed, but the eyes are still fixed on the Xiangfu.

Especially now that Zi'an is still competing with the prime minister's mansion for the land in the back garden, the old lady knows very well that it will do her no good to annoy Zi'an at this time.

But Murong Zhuangzhuang was secretly worried that the two aunts beside the old lady had been very favored in the Prime Minister's house these years, maybe they might really do something to hurt Longan and Xiaosun without telling the old lady.

She and Chen Liuliu looked at each other. Chen Liuliu was actually very soft in her heart. During this period of time, she got along with Xiaosun a lot, not to mention whether she had feelings for her, but she liked Xiaosun very much and didn't want anything to happen to her.

Neither Yuan Cuiyu nor Zi'an were so optimistic, especially Yuan Cuiyu, seeing Zi'an worried made her even more sad. Since she lost her eyesight, she has been unable to read books, her eyes have improved, and she can barely read. She plunged into the study today, He didn't know that such a big thing happened in Xiazhi Garden.

Boss Dao went to the old lady's house, and Aunt Lanyu was serving the old lady for dinner.
