Li Man'er's reaction was similar to Liu Ya's, "Seeing that he had lost and was about to kneel down and kowtow to become his master, he just disappeared and said that his whereabouts were unknown and his whereabouts were unknown. Humph, he was lying to a three-year-old child. He was obviously a coward.
"
"That's right." Liu Ya naturally spoke to Li Man'er, "Girl, I think Miss Xiao Qi did it on purpose."
"Of course she did it on purpose." Li Man'er winked at Liu Ya and signaled Liu Ya to curse more.
Although Liu Ya didn't know Li Man'er as well as Zi Yan and Lu Yi, he had spent some time with her and figured out some of her temper.
The eldest girl seems to have a casual personality and a bit of nonsense, but in fact, she has rules for everything she does.
"Let me tell you, my servant, the man named Feng is just a doctor. How can he be so capable as to dare to go against the young lady? Maybe it was the Xiao family who instigated it." Liu Ya muttered and cursed for a long time, but she didn't let her listen.
Jiao Niang originally wanted to cling to the Tiedan Hou Mansion. Although Li Shu scolded her and looked down on her, she had no choice but to continue to take care of Li Shu and stay by his side.
After all, he had difficulty moving now and needed someone to take care of him, so the way the girl stayed down and obeyed made Li Shu lose his temper and acquiesced to her taking care of him.
Jiao Niang heard what Li Man'er and Liu Ya said, silently remembered it in her heart, and found an opportunity to go to the main courtyard, wanting to report to Xiao Qiniang.
"Girl, now that the Marquis is awake, should I inform the Third Master?" As soon as Jiao Niang left, Liu Ya quickly asked Li Man'er to make an idea.
Li Man'er said: "Will the Xiao family agree? My father has just woken up and is still a little weak. I'm afraid they still have many excuses to refuse to let him leave."
"What should we do?"
Li Man'er said: "Just worry about it, the guy named Xiao is more anxious than us."
More anxious than them?
What's the meaning?
Liu Ya didn't understand, what did the eldest girl mean? Why was the Xiao family even more anxious?
At this time, Jiao Niang did not see Xiao Qiniang in the main courtyard.
The guard stopped her from seeing her, saying that Xiao Qiniang was discussing important matters with the stewards, and asked her to go back first and come back later.
Jiao Niang was unwilling to do so, but she did not dare to stay for a long time. She was afraid that she would offend Xiao Qiniang and it would be difficult for her to leave this bitter and cold place with Li Shu.
In the secret room of the study, two people shrouded in black robes were sitting opposite Xiao Qiniang.
"Is there no news about Feng Jue yet?"
Xiao Qiniang sighed: "Not yet. Now we can't find people in a big way. We can only send people to search secretly. It is inevitable that there is a shortage of manpower, so it takes a lot of effort."
"Insufficient manpower?" A somewhat rough voice said: "This is an excuse. Your Xiao family has more than 200,000 elite soldiers, how come there is no manpower."
"Outsiders don't know what the Xiao family's situation is now, but you two must know it clearly." Miss Xiao Qi looked slightly angry, "I sincerely want to find a way out for myself and the Xiao family, so how can I not give my best.
Not to mention 200,000 people, even 20,000 people, how do you know that everyone can do their best? This matter is of great importance. If you are not an absolute confidant, you must not be used. If something happens, you two can possibly bear it? "
The two men in black robes looked at each other and agreed with her statement.
"Young lady, you should do your best. This matter is very important. Find Feng Jue as soon as possible."
Xiao Qiniang was also tired when she mentioned this matter. Feng Jue's disappearance was so bizarre. Even people and things disappeared in the middle of the night. The most annoying thing was that the guards didn't hear a sound at all, and there was no sound in the room.
No clues were left. Even the most powerful flying thief might not have the ability to make Feng Jue disappear out of thin air!
"Don't worry, you two, this is a major matter concerning the Xiao family, and I will definitely go all out."
"Miss Xiao Qi, it will not be good for everyone if this matter continues." Another person with a somewhat shrill voice said: "Only if you show your worth, the master will give the girl a distinguished position. If not, the girl may not be able to live in this life."
Long-cherished wishes are hard to come by.”
Xiao Qiniang's complexion became even worse. She was born in Mobei and grew up carefree. She was known as a model of ladylike beauty. She had never been so disliked by anyone.
"Don't worry, you two, even if it's for my own sake, I will do my best."
The rough voice from before sounded again, "Miss Xiao, Li Shu is awake now, you have to think of a countermeasure."
"Li Shu can't move for the time being."
The two men in black robes looked surprised and asked in unison: "Why?"
"Every winter, the barbarians invade, and the border towns are constantly in turmoil, which brings a lot of losses to Mobei. This winter is particularly cold, and the snow falls very frequently. I think a lot of the barbarians' cattle and sheep will freeze to death. They
With less food and less clothing, there will definitely be another invasion, and maybe there will be a big battle to be fought. They are also dead people, why don't we let Li Shu's people die?"
The secret room was quiet, with only the faint candlelight beating.
After a while, there was a chuckle, "In this case, our family wishes Miss Xiao that all her wishes will come true."
Probably because he had been lying down for too long, Li Shu wanted to walk around after taking the medicine. He is still weak now and his internal organs are still recovering. Someone has to hold him up to be able to walk a few steps in the house smoothly.
.
No matter how thin he is, he is still a grown man,
The young lady is weak and cannot bear him at all.
Li Man'er asked Jiao Niang to go to Xiao Qiniang's place to ask for someone, "Just tell Miss Xiao Qiniang to let my father's bodyguards come into the house. It doesn't need to be many, two are enough. They can wait close by and carry them around."
It's also convenient. Otherwise, ask her to assign two people to come here. Also, now that my father is awake, I can't live outside anymore, so ask her to arrange another place for me."
Jiao Niang was just thinking about informing, so she naturally took the job without hesitation. This time she successfully met Xiao Qiniang, and not only told Xiao Qiniang the previous conversation between Li Man'er and Liu Ya, but also
Li Maner's request was also stated.
Xiao Qiniang didn't know what she thought of, but she actually laughed.
"Well, Miss Li's request is not too much. Logically speaking, the Marquis is a guest when he comes to visit, and he should be taken care of by the servants in our house. But Miss Li doesn't seem to be very relieved, so let her write
I wrote a letter and asked two personal guards to come into the house and live temporarily outside so that they can be dispatched by the Marquis. As for Miss Li’s residence..." Xiao Qiniang suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiao Niang, "What do you think?
How about she move to the main courtyard?”
The young lady was stunned immediately, "I don't know."
"I think this is a good idea." Miss Xiao Qi said with a sneer on her lips: She would like to see what secrets this Li Man'er has.
Jiao Niang responded truthfully and told Xiao Qiniang's arrangements.
Liu Ya felt that this girl Xiao Qi must have bad intentions and just wanted to keep their girl under her nose.
