Chapter 223
All the way in fear, finally at the end of the day, rushed into Pingyang County.

It's not too late, but it's not appropriate to drop by.However, during the extraordinary period, she didn't care whether it was suitable or not, so she asked Master Gong to drive to Xiao's house on the main street.

She knew the whereabouts of Li Hui and others as soon as possible, and the rest were all floating clouds.

Following the "squeak..." sound of the carriage, her heart was beating like thunder, and it was beating faster and faster, and it was useless to take a deep breath.

Finally, the car door opened, and Master Gong asked:

"Tie Danniang, are you going back tomorrow? If you go back tomorrow, we will go together."

Cheng Xue was not sure, but he was sure that he would not be able to leave today.

"If Master Gong is not in a hurry, just wait for me here and live at my place at night. You and Li Zhong share a room, and there are many rooms at home."

"That's not necessary, I'll just go to the big car shop, you should use the car, I'll wait for you here." Master Gong declined.

There's no reason to live in their house, it's against the rules.

Cheng Xue gave him the roasted dates, thought for a while, and said:
"Then we'll wait and see. I'll go in and do some business first. There's a fire in the charcoal stove, so you drive the car to a place out of the way and enjoy the fire with Li Zhong."

"Okay, okay."

Cheng Xue and Bai Shao got out of the car one after another, and the butler of Xiao's residence hurried over with two young servants.

They bowed their hands and said in unison:

"I met Mrs. Li."

Cheng Xue knew the housekeeper, she met him last time in Biezhuang.

"Be careful when moving the green vegetables in the car. If you take the liberty of visiting, I don't know if Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Shu are at the house."

"Our master is not here but Madam is, please follow the villain's side." The housekeeper said as he led their master and servant into the courtyard.

Along the way, the butler wanted to speak several times, but seeing that Cheng Xue was absent-minded, he simply kept silent.It's not that Cheng Xue is aloof. At this moment, she is thinking about how to speak when she sees someone later.

Touching the pearl hairpin and gold bars on her cuffs, these are the confidence she dared to come.The atmosphere when I met Xiao Wang last time was very good, so it shouldn't be difficult for her this time.

If it is really difficult for her, she has to endure it, the overall situation is the most important.

"My servant Lu has seen Mrs. Li, our master is waiting for you in the house, please follow this servant."

A woman's voice interrupted her thoughts.

Only then did she realize that she had already arrived at the moon gate of the second courtyard, and the housekeeper was nowhere to be seen.

Well, if this sells her, she won't even notice it.

He said softly "Thank you", and Tong Bai Shao followed behind.

The house is really big, and you have to walk for a quarter of an hour to enter the second courtyard. Looking at the bare flower ponds along the way, the scenery is pleasant in summer.

She was a little moved.

If she can get news of their safety later, she will ask someone to draw a picture when she goes back.
"Squeak... ah..." The door opened, Lu Shi bowed and made a "please" gesture, and Cheng Xue stepped into the room.

This time, she didn't need to kneel down to salute, she just needed to bless her body.

"Ms. Li Menyu, a woman, has met Shuren. I wish Shuren a happy new year. I am ashamed to come to the house so late to bother you. I hope Shuren will be merciful."

Wang stood up with a smile, and pulled her to sit beside her.

"It's too alien for you to say that. We Qinglin have troubled you a lot, and we are not outsiders. Is it cold on the road?"

"Fortunately, I wear a lot of clothes." Cheng Xue responded with a smile, "Brother Qinglin didn't bother us, on the contrary, we bothered him. I don't know if he..."

Before he finished speaking, the servant brought in the flower basket and opened the thatch directly.

Emma, ​​this move is unexpected.

Cheng Xue quickly explained:

"It made Shu people laugh, and the country women don't know what to give. These are vegetables grown in a place at home. They have just come down and are stubble. Let you and Mr. Xiao try something new."

"Because of you this year, my master and I have eaten a lot of green vegetables. I have to thank you. Let's drink tea. Qinglin sent this back a few days ago. It tastes good."

Cheng Xueyuan was not in the mood to drink tea, but after hearing what she said, the huge stone in his heart immediately dropped.Being able to get someone to deliver tea home, I think the group of them is not in danger.

After drinking tea, Cheng Xue put the things she brought on the table, and got straight to the point——

"The gentlemen laughed at me. It's because the women in the countryside have little knowledge. The wind is the rain. The little lady came here this time and wanted to ask, is Linzhou still peaceful?"

Wang Shi looked at the things in front of her, smiled and waved her hands.

"You should understand your man's abilities, not to mention that they have experts around them, and Qinglin also has guards around, so they are safe and secure. Just ask if you have any doubts, there is no need for things."

Hearing this, Cheng Xue put away the purse containing the gold bars and pushed the other over.

"It's the stupidity of a country woman, and I hope you will be tolerant."

Mrs. Wang didn't know what was inside, but being able to take one back obediently was considered an improvement.

I took the letter I had prepared earlier from the servant girl, pushed it over, and said:
"Master guessed that you would come, but he didn't expect you to be so late. Read the letter first, don't worry about everyone's safety. The only thing is... Mrs. Pang was injured, and her condition is not very good."

Cheng Xue didn't care what she meant by "you're so late", picked up the envelope, and read it carefully.

The letter was written by the guards of the Xiao family, with respectful words, concise and detailed content.

Linzhou was the bandit that caused trouble last autumn, when Li Hui and his party hadn't set off yet.By the time they went south, the bandits had already been wiped out by the garrison soldiers, but some escaped the net and remained in the mountains.

Mr. Pang traveled this far to improve the topographic map of Liangyan. When they entered Lingfeng Mountain, the remaining bandits jumped over the wall in a hurry, but they only pushed down Mrs. Pang's wooden wheelchair.

Coincidentally, the old lady knocked her head against a stone, and the old lady was still awake when the letter was sent back.

Cheng Xue was burning with anger when she saw it, and her molars gritted "creak...creak...".Finally, he knocked hard on the table and said angrily:
"It's too much, why don't you go to battle and kill the enemy with this strength? Defend the home and the country? Just attack the dying old man, it's not as good as a beast. The garrison army is also..."

"Madam, calm down and drink slowly."

Bai Shao made a sound in time, making Cheng Xue's sense of being disconnected quickly return.

It was so dangerous that I almost cursed out my mouth.

"I made Shuren laugh again. The women in the village are really vulgar. I'm sorry."

Mrs. Wang shook her head slightly, "You keep calling yourself 'Mountain Village Women', if all 'Mountain Village Women' can distinguish right from wrong like you, that will be good news for my Liangyan Dynasty."

"Sweet man's praise, the little lady is ashamed. May I ask Madam, when did you receive this letter?"

"It's been a long time." Wang replied, "If you want to know the news, it's not enough to go to the post station alone. The big car shop, the fleet, the bodyguard company, and the contacts are all sources of news. It seems that there is a dialect in Liaodong called 'thick-skinned, eat a Enough', right."

The implication is that she often sends people to the county to ask for news.

Cheng Xue smiled embarrassedly, cleared her throat, and said:
"Shuren is right, the little lady has been educated. I don't know how Mrs. Pang is doing now. I received a letter from my husband a few years ago, but there was no mention of this in the letter."
