Lin Sanniang was startled and suddenly looked at Mu Lingwei. She felt that her voice was cold and her eyes were sharp, and she could not hear her emotions. A look in her eyes made her dare not lose her temper again, "I will sort out the accounts, please."
The princess has a purpose."
Zhu Xiu raised the corners of her lips and was secretly proud.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Mu Lingwei stared at her again and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law Zhu has waited until tomorrow to recommend a steward to this princess."
"Also, I have already said that I would like to let everyone spend the New Year in peace and contentment. Manager Lin has served the servants in the palace for so long. How she conducts herself in the world, I believe justice will be in people's hearts."
"Let's just leave it like this for now. Everyone should do their own thing and don't make any noise in the house." Mu Lingwei said loudly again.
"Yes." The two said respectfully.
"Step back first," she said again.
"yes."
Her attitude was unclear, and Zhu Xiu couldn't guarantee whether she would replace Lin Sanniang.
After the two left, Shaoyao quickly came forward and said, "Princess, do you really believe what Manager Zhu said, that you think Manager Lin embezzled public funds and deducted funds from the kitchen?"
"Does Sanniang Lin usually give you food?" Mu Lingwei asked.
Shaoyao shook her head, "Anyway, this slave has never been hungry."
"Sister-in-law Zhu's family was born into the prince's family. Her husband and son were both in charge of the village. I heard that after the prince came back, she was reassigned to be in charge of the palace."
Shaoyao said: "However, Sister Lin is new to the house and was promoted by Aunt Cui to be the kitchen manager."
Mu Lingwei immediately understood that it turned out that Zhu Xiu was "senior", and Lin Sanniang's position was indeed the most lucrative. The palace had so many servants who were rough sweepers, as well as guards, so the kitchen was the most important job.
heavy.
"Shaoyao, let our people follow them separately."
She had already guessed that Zhu Xiu wanted to squeeze out Lin Sanniang, and the people under her management did not have much luck.
Mu Lingwei has already brought some people from Mu Mansion over, and also left a few people to look after the house there. She can go back to live there at any time.
Xu Tao, Xu Chun and Shitou also came over.
When they arrived at the front yard, Zhen'er and the Xu brothers were already ready. The carriage was also the palace's carriage. It was luxurious and rich, and it was the same carriage that Jun Mohan was riding in.
Moreover, the material of the carriage is special, which is not only rainproof, snowproof and windproof, but also anti-fall.
At this time, Grandma Cui also came out of the backyard, dressed up delicately in a purple cotton-padded jacket.
Mu Lingwei took her arm affectionately and got into the car. She smiled and said, "Mommy is like a noble lady. She is no worse than those noble ladies. It will be even better if you find a suitable partner to accompany you."
It’s perfect.”
Aunt Cui glanced at her and said, "You are already old, and the princess is still making fun of your slaves."
"Zhen'er, Shaoyao, do you think Aunt Cui should find a husband to get married to?" Mu Lingwei said seriously, "This matter will be taken care of by this princess."
The two of them nodded repeatedly when they heard what she said and got into the car.
Shaoyao said: "It's good to pay attention to this. Grandma is only forty years old now. She has good skin, good figure, beautiful and cute. I don't know who can be a good match for our Grandma Cui."
The carriage stopped halfway. Mu Lingwei opened the curtain and saw Bai Changyan blocking the road again.
Bai Changyan ran over and handed Mu Lingwei a box of pastries. There was a note underneath the pastries, and he said with a flattering look on his face: "Master, I respect you as an apprentice. I wonder if your anger has gone away these days when you have been away from home."
?”
Mu Lingwei took the pastry and opened it. It was oily and the smell of scallion oil hit her nose. She held the note in her palm and said, "It's too greasy. I don't like it. You can keep it for yourself."
Bar."
She knew that the note should be from Boss Mu, so she directly handed the box back to Bai Changyan.
Bai Changyan took it again and said with a smile: "The fried cakes in Dayuan City are cheaper than the pastries."
This means that he can only afford pancakes.
He added: "If you don't eat, I will eat by myself. When you are not around, eating doesn't taste good anymore. Seeing you makes me have appetite again."
Mu Lingwei lowered the car curtain and didn't hear what he said at all.
She opened the note and after reading it, she realized that it was Master Yan who had news.
At this moment, a rampaging carriage rushed from behind and hit the carriage of Prince Anyang's Mansion.
The driver in the car suddenly shouted: "The horse is frightened, get out of the way..."
Bai Changyan was eating sesame seed cakes with his head down, and originally wanted to get out of the way.
But the moment he suddenly raised his head, he saw the other driver's driver whipping the horse's belly with all his strength. The pain caused the horse to speed up even more and rush towards him.
Who drives a carriage and slaps the horse's belly?
The carriage of Prince Anyang was wide and big. When Xu Tao heard the sound, he was ready to avoid it normally. If the carriage behind him was traveling at a normal speed, he could avoid it, but in the situation in front of him, it was already too late to avoid it.
At the critical moment, Bai Changyan whispered to Xu Tao: "Pay attention."
Xu Tao also noticed something was wrong and ordered to his younger brother: "Tighten the horse's rope. If necessary, drive away in the carriage."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the carriage behind him was about to hit him. At the same time, Bai Changyan suddenly jumped up and kicked the horse right on the head.
But the carriage behind them still hit their carriage.
In an instant, the other coach driver's eyes suddenly showed a cold light, he drew a big knife into the carriage and stabbed Mu Lingwei and his companions directly into the carriage.
At the same time, five masked men in green clothes and coarse cloth emerged from the opponent's carriage. Each of them held a sword in his hand and had a vicious look in his eyes. They attacked the carriage of Prince Anyang's Mansion one after another.
Xu Tao did not show any weakness, and only heard a "clang" sound, which was the sound of swords clashing.
At the same time, a minute ago, after Mu Lingwei heard the sound of horse hooves driving quickly behind the carriage, she looked back through the window at the back of the carriage. The sharp look in the driver's eyes revealed that this was not an ordinary incident.
Startled horse.
She asked Zhen'er to hold Granny Cui steady, and the coachman's cry of "scare the horse" was just to make everyone subconsciously think that it was really just the horse "scare". After all, who would alert the assassin if he really wanted to assassinate?
At the moment when the driver's knife stabbed her, she shot a hidden arrow at the driver.
She pressed the button in the blink of an eye, and the rapidly rotating hidden needle shot into the driver's eyebrow. Bai Changyan kicked the horse's head to cushion the horse, so the other horse did not directly hit it.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Changyan held the dagger in his hand and stabbed the coachman behind him again, without any delay and in one go.
Bai Changyan raised his eyebrows at her and praised: "Good job, go into the carriage and hide."
It was her first time to kill someone, and she felt a little panicked, but if she didn't shoot this hidden arrow, the other party's knife would be slashed into the carriage. There were four women inside, and she didn't know who would be hit by the knife.
